Chapter 58: Fight with reason
Li Luo sneered in his heart. This Granny Li really knows how to flatter herself. She said Ling Zhuoqun was unfilial?
Is Ling Zhuoqun her son? Looking at their family genes, how could they give birth to a man as handsome and down-to-earth as Ling Zhuoqun? Granny Li wanted Ling Zhuoqun to be her son, but why would Ling Zhuoqun do that?
"Grandma Li, what are you talking about? This is our Ling family's family affair. Besides, did you misunderstand something? This has nothing to do with my wife. It's because your daughter put drugs in people's food."
"As for what medicine it is, you can go back and ask Aunt Wang when the time comes." Ling Zhuoqun said in a kind voice.
After all, there are children here, so naturally the name and function of this medicine cannot be publicized loudly... It's not good.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhuoqun asked the people who got off the car to go back into the house first. Li Luo should keep the children from coming out for the time being, and he could solve these problems.
Ling Zhuoqun waved his hand. Li Luo understood what Ling Zhuoqun meant and immediately took the three of them into the house.
"Impossible! My daughter is so well-behaved, how could she do such a thing?" Granny Li continued to scream.
The dogs and chickens of the surrounding houses were frightened and started barking.
"Grandma Wang, your son and daughter-in-law both know what happened. They made trouble in the factory yesterday, and many people saw it. This is also a slander to our Ling family's reputation."
"It's getting late, please be careful when you go back. I'm sorry I can't see you off." After saying this, Ling Zhuoqun parked the tricycle aside and was about to walk towards his home.
"Bah! You were influenced by that woman. We are all honest farmers. Your Aunt Wang is taking good care of the children, but this vixen came here and she doesn't want you to take care of them?"
"What you did is called... yes! It's called killing the donkey after it has done its job!" Granny Li racked her brains and finally came up with an appropriate idiom.
"Speaking of this, I also want to argue with Granny Li. I pay Aunt Wang fifty yuan a month. Look at the children I raise. They are all skinny as if they are malnourished, and the clothes they wear are dirty and torn."
"But my wife has only been here for a short time, and Da Mao, Xiao Mao and Ya Ya have already visibly improved. Tell me, why should I spend all this money?"
Ling Zhuoqun presented the facts and the evidence in an orderly manner, thinking that although the younger generations of the Li family were all weird, Granny Li had suffered a lot and naturally understood the reason.
Unexpectedly, what Granny Li cared about was not the problem of the three children of the Ling family not having enough to eat, but Aunt Wang's salary that Ling Zhuoqun mentioned: "What? Fifty yuan? Isn't it thirty yuan? This woman actually dared to lie to me!"
"She must have used the money to support her despicable family!" Granny Li was immediately furious. She no longer cared about scolding Li Luo or seeking justice for her daughter. She pretended to go back to settle the score with Aunt Wang.
She actually made her lose face in the Ling family. Let's wait and see how she deals with Wang Xiumei when she returns!
Having said that, Granny Li limped home.
It was not until Granny Li had completely disappeared that Xu Mei from the neighboring house poked her head out and said, "Brother Ling, are you okay?"
Ling Zhuoqun shook his head: "Sorry, I have caused you trouble."
Xu Mei waved her hands hurriedly: "What's the matter? Isn't it the Li family who is causing trouble? We are not unreasonable people. I know what kind of people Brother Ling and Luo Luo are. But Aunt Wang..."
"Well, but we are all from the same village. We will see each other every day. It's not good to have a fight. We can only hold our noses and continue to get along with each other." Xu Mei told the truth.
After all, it was Aunt Wang who usually looked after the children before. Xu Mei could tell Ling Zhuoqun these words, but not only was Ling Zhuoqun elusive all day long, but other people who could cook would not be able to replace him for the time being.
Besides, Xu Mei didn't want to gossip about others. Even if she saw it, she didn't dare to say anything. Not to mention how fierce Li Ailian and Wang Xiumei were, Xu Mei was also afraid of being retaliated. After all, she was at home looking after the children. If someone bullied her, she, as a woman, couldn't fight back. She also had to look after the children.
"Sister Xu, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will handle it properly and will not cause you any trouble." The reason why Ling Zhuoqun was kind to Granny Li was naturally because they were all from the same village and he didn't want things to become too awkward.
But if the Li family goes too far, he will naturally not be merciful. He has brought such great convenience to the village, and not everyone can control him.
It's just that he is easy-going in his daily life, so the Li family has forgotten how he got to where he is, and they think that everything he does is what he should do.
When Ling Zhuoqun walked in, he saw Yaya had fallen asleep on Li Luo's shoulder. Li Luo was still patting Yaya's back slowly and rhythmically to help her sleep more comfortably.
The two brothers pricked up their ears to listen to the noise outside, and only retracted their heads when they saw Ling Zhuoqun.
"Dad...Aunt Wang's family is so bad! They always bully us!" Ling Xiaolei frowned and said bluntly.
"My brother and I don't like her, and also Granny Li. If Dad had parked the car a little later, I'm afraid Granny Li would have extorted money!" After saying this, Ling Xiaolei patted his chest, as if he was still shocked by the scene that just happened.
"It's okay. If anyone from their family comes up to you and talks to you again, ignore them, okay?" Ling Zhuoqun instructed the two brothers.
The two brothers nodded together: "My elder brother also said something similar. He said Aunt Wang is not a good person..."
Before Ling Xiaolei finished speaking, Ling Xiaoguang quickly covered Ling Xiaolei's mouth. This is not something you can say, as he learned it from Aunt Wang.
Whenever Aunt Wang sees any slightly pretty woman, she would say that woman is not a good person. However, in Ling Xiaoguang's opinion, Aunt Wang is not a good person either, otherwise she would not steal things from their house.
"Dad, I told Xiaomao that Aunt Wang is not a good person, and told Xiaomao to just listen to her and let it go in one ear and out the other." Ling Xiaoguang explained with a dry laugh.
"Mmmmm~" Ling Xiaolei took his brother's hand away and nodded: "Yes, that's what my brother said."
Li Luo smiled. She didn't expect that the two brothers were so smart. Moreover, they had good eyesight and could distinguish right from wrong. However, they had been taken care of by Aunt Wang for too long and had been abused before, so their personalities also became flawed over time.
Fortunately, it was discovered early, and now the two brothers can basically get along with her harmoniously. Can this be considered a good start?
……
Newsstand outside the village.
"Beep, beep, beep--" the phone rang busy and the other end of the line answered it soon.
"Hello? Who is this?" The voice on the other end of the line was that of a mature woman.
