Chapter 6 Dealing with Aunt Wang
Li Luo shouted loudly twice towards the door, and Wang Xiumei turned around nervously and looked around.

After making sure that there was no one around, she realized that the woman in front of her was playing a trick on her.

Li Luo looked helpless, "Aunt Wang, I admire you a lot. Calculating the time, Da Mao and Xiao Mao will soon finish school. Since your cooking skills are not good, stop working and go home."

Wang Xiumei gritted her teeth but couldn't refute Li Luo's words. Looking at Li Luo's picky look, it didn't seem like he could cook.

She's leaving now!

When Xiao Ling came back at night and couldn't eat, he came to her. She complained fiercely that she was kicked out and if she was asked to go back to work, she would have to be given a raise.

After all, the thirty yuan a month was originally agreed to be used to take care of the children. Now that there is one more person, it is not excessive for her to ask for a salary increase.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiumei's frown relaxed: "Well, since you want to drive me away, I have nothing to say. This new hostess is really powerful. She will not stop until she drives people away!"

Li Luo smiled and waved at her.

Wang Xiumei became even angrier when she saw that smile. She left the Ling family angrily and was still sulking on the way. That was their family's food ration for a week!
She had spent so much effort to save this money, but it was discovered by this wild girl!

She will definitely not go back unless Ling Zhuoqun gives her a raise this time.

As she walked, she met Da Mao and Xiao Mao who were just leaving school and stopped them.

The two children's eyes were full of vigilance. Wang Xiumei wanted to beat them in broad daylight?

Seeing that the two brothers were on guard against her, Wang Xiumei slapped her thigh and said anxiously, "Oh! Big Mao and Little Mao, Granny Wang is doing this for your own good. She sneaked out to tell you the news."

"Your father found you a stepmother. Now he's taking your house and searching everywhere. He's also bullying an old woman like me and driving me out of the house. Your sister is still at home. You should go home and take a look."

Wang Xiumei pretended to be pitiful and even sobbed.

Da Mao immediately pulled Xiao Mao back a step and said, "Grandma Wang, you go home first. I'll take my brother back home to have a look."

Wang Xiumei realized that she had achieved her goal, so she stopped pretending and urged the two brothers to go back quickly. If they happened to see Li Luo looking greedy, she wouldn't even have to dirty her hands by chasing her away.

Damao was thinking about his sister and ran very fast.

He was very nervous all the way. It had only been a short time and his father had found another woman. Wasn't the lesson from last time enough?
He had already seen through it a long time ago that these women were all after their family's money and didn't really treat them sincerely.

Although Granny Wang wasn't a good person, when Dad was around, she knew how to pretend and wouldn't harm their lives, unlike that woman...

Xiao Mao was struggling at the back, his cross-body bag was swinging around and almost tripped him.

"Brother, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"

Da Mao frowned, and his long legs ran faster. "Didn't you hear what Granny Wang said just now? Dad found us a stepmother. Now there's only stepmother and Yaya at home. What if stepmother hurts Yaya at this time? You catch up slowly, I'll go home first."

Xiao Mao also realized the seriousness of the matter, but his legs were short after all. When he ran back home, his eldest brother was already standing in the house, confronting his stepmother.

Li Luo was bewildered. She was chopping the meat and teasing Yaya from time to time. Suddenly, a child rushed in and shouted, "Let go of my sister!"

But when he saw Li Luo wearing an apron and holding a knife in her hand, and Yaya still smiling, Damao was suddenly stunned.

"You...what do you want to do? Put the knife down first."

Damao hurriedly held Yaya behind him, fearing that Li Luo would take Yaya over as a hostage.

Li Luo didn't understand what was going on, but she put down the knife and untied her apron. She smiled and greeted Damao, "Are you Damao or Xiaomao? Are you done with school? I was just chopping meat and was about to cook for you."

"Bad girl! Stop being so hypocritical here!"

Damao's eyes were full of vigilance. The woman in front of him looked kind and amiable, but who knew what she was thinking.

Granny Wang once said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious her heart is. He can't be fooled by this woman's appearance.

Looking at the hostility that Damao showed towards him, Li Luo was speechless. Does she look that scary?

No wonder it is always so difficult to play a stepmother in TV dramas. Looking at this scene, Li Luo finally understood the reason.

Yaya struggled to come out and said in a baby voice, "Brother, big sister is good!"

"You don't have to speak well of her. Don't be afraid, my brother is here," Da Mao said, and then he thought of something. "I just ran into Granny Wang on the road. Why did you drive her away? Tell me!"

Li Luo couldn't help laughing out loud. This Wang Xiumei would even tell tales behind someone's back!
However, the guy in front of him is not very big, but he has a bad temper.

She will definitely be able to do something in the future. "I asked her to go back, how can I chase her away?"

"We don't believe you, and don't even think about bullying my sister! Come to me if you have any problem!" Ling Xiaoguang mustered up his courage and moved cautiously. The woman was holding a knife in her hand, so he had to be careful.

Seeing that Ling Xiaoguang was very wary of him, Li Luo realized that he still had a knife in his hand. In order to show that he had no hostility, he put the knife on the chopping board.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Xiaoguang pulled his sister and ran outside.

When Ling Xiaoguang pulled Yaya's little arm, it turned red and she cried even harder.

Ling Xiaoguang was at a loss for a moment. He didn't expect that the woman didn't make his sister cry, but instead made his sister cry louder and louder.

As if performing a magic trick, Li Luo produced a candy from his hand and put it into Yaya's mouth. After diverting her attention, Yaya stopped crying immediately.

It’s actually... candy?
These things were something that neither Father Ling nor Granny Wang would buy for them. Was this woman so kind as to give candy to Yaya? She must have done it to win people's hearts temporarily.

After all, Yaya is only two years old, an age that others can easily coax away with a piece of candy, but he is not like that, he is already seven years old! In the first grade, not everyone can control her.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiaoguang's heart was filled with anger. Anyone who dared to take advantage of Yaya was not a good person!

Ling Xiaoguang protected Yaya behind him and threw the candy at Li Luo: "Bad woman! You are just like those bad women, you are here to break up our family!"

Li Luo was confused. Why was this kid so aggressive right from the start?
Yes, she traveled through the book and saw all the heroines and villains at once.

Lin Ge is the heroine of her era, while Ling Xiaoguang is the villain of this era who hates all women in the world, but the reason is unclear.

But seeing such a young child's eyes filled with hatred is not a good sign.

Li Luo had no way of arguing with such a young child, so he bent down, put his hand on Ling Xiaoguang's shoulder, and explained to him sincerely, "Whether you believe it or not, I am not what you think."

"You're lying! The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at disguising herself!" Ling Xiaoguang took a step back vigilantly, his eyes still fierce.

"Pfft..." Was this a disguised way of praising her beauty? She accepted it, but where did Aunt Wang learn Mr. Jin Yong's lines from?
Is being pretty a sin? But now is not the time to argue with a child.

"Since you're back, you can help me look after my sister. I'll cook first, and we'll have dinner when everyone is here."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen again.

The Ling family's wheat flour is all refined, and they happen to have pork and cabbage at home, so it would be nice to make dumplings with pork and cabbage filling.

Li Luo rolled up his sleeves and kneaded the dough in no time. He cleaned the dough, the bowl, and his hands. He covered the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest for a while.

Then continue to chop the pork and cabbage. The pork should be 30% fat and 70% lean, and cut into minced meat. After blanching the cabbage, squeeze out the water thoroughly, mix them together, add salt and thirteen spices, and add a little sesame oil.

Once the sesame oil was added, the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance.

"Brother! Where is that bad woman?" Ling Xiaolei finally ran back home panting. As soon as he came in, he saw his brother protecting Yaya behind him, looking towards the kitchen, seeming a little absent-minded.

"It smells so good. What did Grandma Wang do today? There wasn't this kind of fragrance before." After being stunned for a while, Ling Xiaolei was attracted by the aroma coming from the kitchen.

"It's not Aunt Wang, it's that woman." Ling Xiaoguang took Yaya's hand and sat on the sofa, his back still tense.

"Yaya, did that woman bully you when we were not at home?"

Yaya looked at Ling Xiaoguang in confusion. Ling Xiaoguang sighed and pointed to the kitchen: "Did that woman hit you?"

Yaya shook her head, pointed at the candy on the table, and smiled at Ling Xiaoguang.

Then he pointed at the stir-fried vegetables and rice porridge on the table, babbling something incomprehensible.

Ling Xiaolei ran to the table, sniffed the food, and said, "I told you, this is Granny Wang's cooking. I can tell it smells right!"

"Brother... I'm a little scared. Will that woman poison our food again?" Thinking of what happened before, Ling Xiaolei still felt a lingering fear.

He now didn't dare to believe any woman who tried to approach them, but the food in this kitchen seemed really delicious... He was so hungry that his appetite was aroused.

Ling Xiaolei sneaked up to the kitchen door and stuck his head in. He happened to see Li Luo putting the dough on the chopping board. Li Luo grabbed a handful of flour and sprinkled it on the chopping board to prevent the dough from sticking.

"Ah!" Ling Xiaolei just screamed, but suddenly remembered his brother's advice and immediately covered his mouth.

But Li Luo still heard the noise and turned to look at Ling Xiaolei.

This little boy is smaller than the previous one, so this one is... Ermao?
