Chapter 384 Causing Trouble
Ling Xiaolei still sympathized with Qiao Lin. After all, he was also a bullied child himself. However, this could not be an excuse for Qiao Lin to do bad things.

Qiao Lin was so arrogant at the beginning, but in the end, his true colors were revealed. It turned out that everything was just a show. Ling Xiaolei originally thought that they would never have any contact again, but he didn't expect that Ling Xiaoguang would meet Qiao Lin so soon.

And according to Qiao Lin's age, he should have been in the fifth grade, but for some reason, he dropped back several grades. The two of them didn't know what happened.

However, Qiao Lin and Ling Xiaoguang are in the same class, and things always look bad.

"Brother, is Qiao Lin still bullying you?" Ling Xiaolei clenched his fists, as if the next second, when he heard Ling Xiaoguang say that someone was bullying him, he would immediately rush up and punch the other person in the face.

Ling Xiaoguang shook his head decisively: "Don't worry, Xiaomao, not everyone can bully your brother, no one can!"

Ling Xiaolei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had just moved to a new school and were unfamiliar with the place. If someone really bullied his brother, then the two of them would be alone to depend on each other!
Oh, no, it's three! Lin Mo also transferred to their school, but he was not in the same class as Ling Xiaoguang, which made Ling Xiaolei almost forget about Lin Mo.

"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

Ling Xiaolei trotted to open the door, only to see Lin Mo standing in front of them.

"Big Mao, Little Mao, save me!" Lin Mo's face was full of fear. He walked into the house seriously and closed the door.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" The two brothers were very surprised when they saw Lin Mo's panicked look.

"My mother wanted to beat me, saying that I didn't study hard and deserved a beating!" Lin Mo's eyes turned red when talking about this.

Even Li Luo, who was preparing food in the background, looked distressed.

"Why did your mother hit you suddenly? Is there no reason?" Li Luo was also puzzled. After all, Cheng Yuzhu was not someone who would hit Lin Mo anytime and anywhere.

At this point, Lin Mo was speechless, hesitating and unable to explain the reason.

Less than two minutes later, there was another knock on the door: "Luoluo, is Xiaomo here with you?"

Li Luo could hear the tone of Cheng Yuzhu's voice and realized that she was indeed a little angry, so he prepared to open the door first. He waved his hand to let Lin Mo hide first, and then went to open the door for Cheng Yuzhu.

"Mom, what's wrong? You look so angry, did Xiao Mo do something?"

Cheng Yuzhu's face looked very unhappy, and she was holding a wet book in her hand, which was carefully wrapped in a calendar cover.

"Look at what your brother did. He didn't even take good care of the newly-distributed book. When he was playing by the pool, the book slipped into the pool. When he brought it home, it was in this state."

"Tell me, how can we read the books then? They will become wrinkled."

Li Luo couldn't help laughing, thinking about when he was a child, he would carry his schoolbag on his head when it rained. When he went home, his books would become wet, and he would keep wiping them dry with toilet paper.

Seeing Lin Mo's book now makes her feel like she is back in her childhood.

"Mom, please give me the book. I can restore it." Li Luo said confidently.

"Really?" Cheng Yuzhu asked doubtfully.

The older generation had such a high respect for knowledge that they would rather let the books get wet than get wet themselves. But now there is a generation gap between them and these kids.

"Mom, when have I ever lied to you?" Li Luo explained with a smile.

"Actually, I don't have to beat Xiao Mo. It's just that what Xiao Mo did this time was too irritating. If he can really recover, there's really no need to beat him. After all, beating him won't help. But when I think about his failure to learn his lesson, I'm so angry that my teeth itch." "Mom, you're a grandmother now, you should be more stable. You're holding a rolling pin in your hand, and if you use too much force, you might hurt your waist."

"Where is Xiao Mo? I will talk to him later. Just calm down, otherwise you will get wrinkles on your face." Li Luo kept comforting Cheng Yuzhu.

Cheng Yuzhu nodded: "You have a point. This brat should be punished more! Now that we are in the city, what should we do if we are made a fool of ourselves?"

"Other people's books are all brand new. I was afraid that others would laugh at him, so I specially found an old calendar and wrapped his book cover in the dark." Cheng Yuzhu complained to Li Luo.

Now, even Li Luo felt that he shouldn't stop Cheng Yuzhu.

Li Luo comforted Cheng Yuzhu again, then took the book from Cheng Yuzhu and put it in the refrigerator.

Now, Cheng Yuzhu was even more surprised.

"Luoluo, what are you going to do if the book is frozen?" Cheng Yuzhu pretended to take the book out.

Li Luo stopped her and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I will restore it to its original state. When you come to pick up the book the day after tomorrow, you will find that it is almost as good as a new one."

Looking at Li Luo's resolute expression, Cheng Yuzhu decided to believe Li Luo.

So after Li Luo's persuasion, she calmed down and nodded at Li Luo: "You, Da Mao, Xiao Mao, and Ya Ya, if you don't want to cook, just come with mom and we can eat together as a family."

Li Luo's eyes fell on the dining table: "Mom, look, I'm ready. Next time, next time I will definitely come to your house to taste your cooking."

Seeing that the food was ready, Cheng Yuzhu decided not to disturb them from eating, so she waved her hand and said, "I'm going back. I have to be busy choosing a location for the delicatessen these days. It's a hassle for us."

After Li Luo sent Cheng Yuzhu away, Lin Mo quietly walked out of Ling Xiaolei's room with his head lowered, somewhat afraid to look into Li Luo's eyes.

"Sister...sister."

"Did you hear what mom said just now?" Li Luo looked at Lin Mo helplessly.

Lin Mo nodded heavily: "I will apologize to mom when I get back. I didn't do it on purpose. When the book fell, I immediately fished it out. And I... I didn't do it for fun."

"But mom didn't want to hear my explanation at that time. But I still need to admit my mistake to her. I can't let her down."

"It's good that you know. I think Mom is more worried about you. You can't just go to the river casually, even if you are a good swimmer. What's that saying?"

"Those who drown are those who know how to swim."

"Sister, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know my limits. I will reassure my parents in the future and will never act so capriciously just because I can swim!"

Seeing Lin Mo's sincere attitude of admitting his mistake, Li Luo didn't say anything more.

"That book..." Lin Mo was still thinking about his wet book.

"Don't worry, come back in two days and your book will be in better condition than it is now."

Lin Mo could only nod doubtfully. He was not the kind of person who didn't cherish books, but it was indeed an accident, and he didn't want to tell the reason why he went to the waterside.
