Chapter 370: A Little Expert in Arguing
"Whose firecrackers are those that have been going off for so long and are still going off? When we have money, we will buy firecrackers that go off ten thousand times, so that our ancestors will know that our family has made a difference!"
"It's obvious that he's from the Ling family! Don't we all know how rich the Ling family is?"
"What a pity! We can only watch. You all have forgotten that in the past, the people who came to the Ling family to give gifts almost broke down the door of the Ling family."
"How come the Ling family can always find ways to make money?"
"It's not enough that Xiao Ling can make money, but even his wife has set up an embroidery village, which is well-known in our area."
After everyone finished their meal, they sat together and chatted idly. As they chatted, they talked about the Ling family.
"Not only that, let me see if the Ling family really has some Feng Shui treasure land. Look at the three boys in their family. When they first came here, they were dumbfounded. But look at them now. They have grown taller and their grades have soared like a rocket."
"If we compare our children with others, there is simply no comparison!"
The few of them were chatting animatedly, and they didn't even notice when Li Luo and Yaya walked up to them.
It was Wang Xiumei who was sharp-eyed and nudged the person next to her, and the sound gradually died down.
"Hey, isn't this Luoluo? What brings you here?" Aunt Liu greeted Li Luo with a smile, as if she had not participated in the conversation about the Ling family behind their backs just now.
"We just had dinner and didn't have anything to do, so we just wandered around and chatted. Eh? Aunt Liu, why did the color of the necklace on your neck change? It doesn't look like the gold necklace on my neck, which Brother Ling spent thousands of dollars to buy."
"Brother Ling also said that if I want it in the future, he will buy me a few more!"
"Aunt Wang, you are not still thinking about our gold necklace, are you? I'm sorry, you can't even enter our house now, it's really miserable."
"Oh, isn't this Sister Zhao? The embroidery you made is so ugly, no wonder no one wants it. I heard that your son is dating a widow who got married twice. You should tell your son to be careful, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."
Li Luo felt that it was not satisfying enough and made a few "tsk tsk" sounds on his lips.
When several people heard what Li Luo said, they were angry but dared not say anything. After all, they were the ones who talked about people behind their backs first. They did not expect that Li Luo, a girl from the city, could be so good at talking.
"Li Luo, you are from a city, but your mouth is so dirty, aren't you afraid of getting a mouth sore?"
"Eh? I have fair skin and beautiful looks, and the clothes I wear are all made of duck down. No matter how little I wear, I am still warm. It's not like you guys who are still wearing clothes made of cotton."
When Li Luo said this, he considerately covered Yaya's ears. It would be bad if Yaya heard such hurtful words.
Seeing the faces of the aunts, sisters-in-law and old women opposite were getting darker and darker, it was really infuriating!
Li Luo knew where to poke the opponent's weak spot to hurt him the most.
But recently, Li Luo's temper is that he can't afford to suffer any loss wherever he goes! If anyone provokes Li Luo, he will really run into a tough guy.
For a time, during the New Year's Day, even the number of people who went out to chat was reduced by more than half. They all stayed at home, lying on the kang, eating melon seeds, and no longer went out.
Suddenly, something cold fell on Li Luo's eyelids, making Li Luo shiver uncontrollably.
"Mom, it's snowing!" Yaya's little face was full of excitement, especially thinking of last winter, when she wanted to go out, but her hands got frostbite, and her two brothers were so cold that they huddled together and didn't even have a snowball fight. But this year, she wore a down jacket and was warm all over, and Li Luo would often hold Yaya as a small heater to keep warm.
So Yaya ran home excitedly and called her two brothers to come out together.
Li Luo took off his hat and looked at the falling snowflakes. It seemed that he had never seen such clusters of snowflakes in the city. He could even see the patterns of the snowflakes when they fell on his palm.
Originally, Li Luo thought that the snowflakes in the picture book were imagined by others, but he didn't expect that art really comes from life.
"You are like a fire in the winter..."
The song began to sound from the loudspeakers. Since the Spring Festival Gala, this song quickly became popular in the streets and alleys. Even the loudspeakers at the village entrance would often play this song.
Li Luo and a few other children sang and watched the snow scene.
"Looking at the amount of snow, I guess we can make snowmen on the ground tomorrow." Ling Zhuoqun murmured as he looked at the layer of white frost and snow on the ground.
"Mom, let's make a snowman!" Ling Xiaolei said excitedly.
"We're going to grandma's house tomorrow, so we can't let you guys make a fuss." Li Luo scratched Ling Xiaolei's nose and teased.
"That's great, we can find my uncle to play together!" Now, Ling Xiaolei was even more excited.
So when they arrived at the Lin family, Ling Xiaolei immediately hugged Lin Mo and asked Lin Mo to take him to the mountains to hunt rabbits.
"There are so many rabbit nests, we can't catch them just because we want to." Lin Mo explained solemnly.
"In that case...why don't we take Yaya with us!" Ling Xiaolei looked excited, pulling Lin Mo and Yaya to run outside.
Ling Xiaoguang followed behind them: "Mom, don't worry, I will watch over them."
Li Luo was worried about the others, but he was still very confident in Ling Xiaoguang. The few of them trotted out, leaving the adults to chat together.
"I never thought that in just half a year, the money our family earned was enough to buy a house in the city." Cheng Yuzhu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Luoluo, if it weren't for you, we might never see this day in our entire lives." Cheng Yuzhu looked into Li Luo's eyes, full of gratitude.
"Mom, what are you talking about? It's my duty as a daughter to honor you. Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here."
"After we get to the city, you can rent a small store there. It's much better than having dad drive around everywhere every day. Besides, the health permit has been obtained for you, so you can open the store at any time."
"Your dad and I have already thought about it. We are going to open a store next to the clothing store of Xiao Ling's family."
"Although there are many clothing stores over there, there is not a single brand of prepared food like this. We call this occupying the market in advance!"
Li Luo didn't expect that the couple had chosen a store so quickly, which saved her from having to worry anymore.
"Luoluo, did something happen... between you and Xiao Ling?" Cheng Yuzhu looked at Li Luo and Ling Zhuoqun with a strange expression.
