Chapter 366 Li Family Gossip
Aunt Wang didn't expect that just a sarcastic remark from her would cause such a big commotion.
"Ouch, isn't it okay for me to admit that I was wrong?!" Aunt Wang slapped her legs with an ugly look on her face.
She kept bowing to Li Luo: "Luoluo, I didn't mean to do that. Can you please forgive me this time?"
"It's New Year's Day, please don't make things difficult for me!" Aunt Wang's tone was almost pleading.
"Aunt Wang, you've been making things difficult for me in the village, even on New Year's Day. You were not in the right and caused public outrage. Now you're blaming me for not letting you have a good New Year? How can you even say that?"
"I think what Brother Ling and the village chief said is quite right. Aunt Wang has thought so much about me. Let's take all the meat from Aunt Wang's house and use it to help our Da Mao and Xiao Mao grow."
When the village chief heard this, he nodded quickly and gave the meat that was originally in Aunt Wang's bowl to Li Luo. Li Luo thanked the village chief with a smile, and then without even looking at Aunt Wang, he stood aside, waiting for Xu Mei who was about to take the meat.
When Aunt Wang saw this scene, she felt so regretful. Why did she have to say such bad things about Li Luo?
Hasn’t he suffered enough at the hands of Li Luo?
Li Luo stood beside Ling Zhuoqun. Ling Zhuoqun stopped watching his watch and whispered to Li Luo, "The meat is too heavy. Leave it here and I'll bring it back to you later."
Li Luo's eyes widened slightly, then he waved his hand: "It's okay, this little weight is not so heavy that I can't bear it."
"You stay busy here, I will go home with Sister Xu."
Ling Zhuoqun nodded: "When you get home, you will find a surprise."
Li Luo was very curious: "Surprise? What is it?"
"You'll know when you get home." Ling Zhuoqun still kept Li Luo in suspense.
Li Luo nodded, and was somewhat impatient to go home and see what the surprise Ling Zhuoqun had carefully prepared for her was.
Soon, when Xu Mei had packed the meat, the two of them planned to go home together.
On the road, I saw several children who had bought sugarcanes. They were holding the sugarcanes as if they were holding golden hoop sticks and fighting with each other. Only Yaya had two small pink flowers in her hands.
Li Luo waved at Yaya. When Yaya saw Li Luo, her eyes lit up and she ran towards him: "Mom, there are so many pieces of meat!"
"Mom will fry meatballs and make dumplings for Yaya and brother!" Li Luo shook the meat beside him and chuckled.
"Why did Yaya only buy a head flower? Doesn't she like eating sugar cane?" Xu Mei tilted her head and looked at a few little boys dancing with sugar canes in their hands, it was so lively.
Yaya pointed at her little buck teeth and said, "Ah! Yaya is afraid of toothache, so she can't eat sugarcane."
Xu Mei was a little amused and forgot that Yaya was only a three-year-old girl and it would be very inconvenient for her to eat sugarcane.
"Aunt Xu Mei was not thoughtful enough." Then, Hutou poked Xu Mei on the back with a sugarcane.
"Hutou, you little rascal, I think you have no respect for your elders!" Then, Xu Mei handed a pot of meat to Zhao Jiaming, and started chasing Hutou.
"Mom, mom, it's Chinese New Year, you can't hit me, woooooo~" Hu Tou kept dodging, but he was not as fast as Xu Mei. Xu Mei caught Hu Tou and slapped him on the head. "Who said that you can't hit children during Chinese New Year? If you don't listen, I will spank you all year round!" Then Xu Mei slapped Hu Tou on the butt.
Hu Tou was so nervous that he closed his eyes, but he found that Xu Mei's beating didn't hurt him at all. Then he winked at Xu Mei and said, "Thank you, mom. I knew you wouldn't bear to let me feel pain!"
"This is called "When the child is beaten, the mother feels the pain!" Hu Tou's words made the people around him laugh.
Xu Mei couldn't help but feel embarrassed. When did her son become so educated? She was still hurt when she beat her son.
"You're so smooth-talking!" Xu Mei pretended to scold them and followed the others.
On the way back, Xu Mei couldn't help but complain: "Look at this Aunt Wang, she didn't let us enjoy the New Year properly, and she had to make such a scene. Now, it's only their family that will have a harder time this year."
"Huh? Did you see the woman who just passed by?" Xu Mei wiped her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.
Li Luo also just noticed the woman passing by him.
"Aren't these Xin Lu and Li Ailian? The two of them seem to be getting along very well now."
"Didn't the two of them almost come to blows over Brother Ling? And looking at the rosy faces of Li Ailian and Xin Lu, I'm afraid good things are about to happen, right?"
"Good news? What good news?" Li Luo has been so busy these days that he didn't even know what good things there are in this village that he didn't know about.
"That's because the gossip hasn't reached you yet. Li Ailian, I don't know where she got a hookup with a local tycoon. She's been acting pretty high lately. I heard she's an investor. Wang Xiumei made such a big fuss today, I'm afraid she's apologizing because of this."
"That local tycoon is coming to our house to meet us before the New Year, so Aunt Wang couldn't wait to take more meat back, but now it seems that my hope will be dashed!"
"Li Ailian is hooking up with a wealthy local man. What does that have to do with Xin Lu? Why are Xin Lu and Li Ailian so close?"
"Xin Lu seems to be the secretary of that local tycoon. I heard that she helped the local tycoon get a big order. Li Ailian helped Xin Lu get acquainted with the local tycoon, which is how Xin Lu got her position."
"I also heard that there seems to be some kind of relationship between Li Tieshuan and Xin Lu. That's why Li Tieshuan asked Li Ailian to take extra care of Xin Lu."
Li Tieshuan? Xin Lu? How could these two people who looked like they were not on the same path get together? Li Luo felt that he had smelled the scent of a big melon.
Li Ailian hooked up with a rich man, and Xin Lu became his secretary. Li Ailian was so confident in letting Xin Lu be the secretary of the rich man.
This reminded Li Luo of a saying: If there is something wrong, the secretary should...
It’s not that Li Luo is jealous of the Li family’s adventures, but he always feels that there is something strange about this family.
"I don't want to think about other people's families. Throughout the year, only during the Chinese New Year period can I relax a little. Even Brother Ling spends more time at home!"
"Luoluo, since Brother Ling has had a sterilization, does that mean you two really have no plans to have another child?" Xu Mei blinked and whispered to Li Luo.
Li Luo didn't expect that this melon-eating thing would actually eat his head. He shook his head repeatedly: "I am blessed to have these three children. Why do I need to have more children?"
