Chapter 62 Lock the door
Xu Mei's thoughts coincided with Li Luo's. Since there was someone familiar here, Li Luo was naturally grateful: "Thank you, Sister Xu. You must accept this meat. You have helped me so much. I have nothing to thank you for."

"Oh, then I won't be polite." Xu Mei also had a smile on her face. These two taels of meat would cost at least a few cents, so it was good if some could be left over.

So Xu Mei accepted it without hesitation.

"This man said he is Xiaoling's relative, but I don't think so. Anyway, I have never seen a relative who could climb over a wall." Xu Mei almost scolded Gao Yuliang to death.

She rarely saw Gao Yuliang. After all, since Ling Zhuolin got married, she had almost never returned to the Ling family. Gao Yuliang also rarely appeared in the Ling family. He only came over as a wedding car driver on the day of Ling Zhuolin's wedding.

Then we met at the farm.

That's why Xu Mei said that Gao Yuliang's face showed that he was not a good person.

Li Luo also deeply felt the same way. After all, when she was reading this book, she also disliked the character Gao Yuliang, and she also hated the fact that the original owner did not have a mouth.

But she was now in a dilemma. How should she remind Ling Zhuoqun to be careful of Gao Yuliang? After all, in Ling Zhuoqun's eyes, Gao Yuliang was still a quick-working relative.

If she said it directly, would Ling Zhuoqun feel that she was discrediting his sister? Alas, she seemed to understand the difficulties of being the mistress of the house.

But she still had to say what she had to say, otherwise it would be too late to explain everything after the thief got in. Besides, it was Sister Xu who discovered this, and what if Sister Xu was not at home in the future? She knew to lock the door, but what if someone picked the lock?
This is not the so-called harmonious society where people can leave their doors unlocked at night. She should buy a dog as soon as possible, at least she can feel more at ease.

Li Luo yawned, then held Yaya in his arms and went back to sleep.

When I woke up, Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei had already returned, and it was Ling Xiaoguang who opened the door with the key.

Ling Xiaoguang was still puzzled. Normally, except for Aunt Wang, her stepmother would hardly lock the door. But today was a little unusual. Not only was the outer door locked, but even the living room door was locked.

Li Luo went downstairs and greeted the two brothers: "Today we have chicken soup, fried shredded pork, and shredded pork noodles."

The two nodded, and Ling Xiaolei rubbed his hands. It was great that he had something delicious to eat again!

He felt that he had gained weight after eating so much meat and fish every day, but his body seemed to be stronger as well. Now, even if his brother ran faster, he could slowly catch up.

I don’t know if it was the calcium supplements bought by my stepmother, but they provide the right nutritional supplement, are delicious, and can make the body healthier, so it’s really killing two birds with one stone!
But he would not miss the meals cooked by Aunt Wang. The meals cooked by Aunt Wang could almost be described as "swill". He was so hungry at that time that he had no choice but to drink water continuously until he was full. And most of the time, he would have stomachache.

Now I can clearly feel that I don’t have stomachache anymore, and I am stronger than before when I compete in arm wrestling with my classmates. Although my brother is still a little wary of my stepmother on weekdays, he has slowly accepted her.

Not only was she prettier than the previous stepmother, she was also a better cook and was very kind to their whole family, especially Yaya. When he and his brother came home from school, they could often hear their stepmother teaching Yaya to speak.

Although no results have been seen yet, Yaya has become obviously more lively than before. Sometimes she doesn't get close to them when she sees them, and most of the time she likes to stick to her stepmother.

Ling Xiaoguang was still wondering why the door was locked today. "Ah... Auntie, the door was locked today." Ling Xiaoguang thought about it and decided to ask this question.

"Oh, I was afraid that my house would be robbed. In the afternoon, I took Yaya to bed, and Sister Xu from next door said that someone wanted to climb the wall of our house, so I just locked the door."

Ling Xiaoguang frowned even more: Climbing the wall? Could it be someone stealing a child? Fortunately, she locked the door. If Yaya was lost by mistake, he would definitely not let Li Luo go!

Ling Xiaoguang's flash of murderous intent made Li Luo shudder. Was she... frightened by the murderous aura of a child? As expected of a future villain, his only two weaknesses were his younger brother and sister.

Moreover, in the plot, it seems that Yaya has always been thin and small, has not grown up to adulthood, and was abducted once. If Ling Xiaoguang had not discovered it in time, I am afraid we would never see Yaya again.

After that, Yaya became even more withdrawn and didn’t even want to see her two brothers.

So... this is probably why Ling Xiaoguang's character became so twisted later on. He was often exposed to the malice of this world. It was difficult for such a young child to stay rational, and no one could help him. Over time, his body was covered with thorns.

Li Luo seemed to be able to understand Ling Xiaoguang a little, but the child still had to walk on the right path and could not go down a single path to the end. Now it was heading towards a virtuous cycle of development, and what Li Luo had to do was to keep going.

Ling Xiaoguang originally wanted to ask whether Li Luo had come to see her in class today, but now he didn't have the heart to ask. He just hugged Yaya and touched Yaya's head, as if he was afraid that Yaya would run away if he wasn't paying attention.

Thinking of what the head teacher said to him today, Ling Xiaoguang still didn't ask, but what the head teacher said made him fall into deep thought.

"Today, someone who claimed to be your mother came and was particularly concerned about you. She said that your arm was injured and asked the teachers to take good care of you..." As she said this, the head teacher patted him on the shoulder and told him that this stepmother was really gentle.

He didn't want to admit that he was slowly accepting Li Luo.

After a long while, Ling Xiaoguang finally said, "Then we can lock the door at home from now on."

Ling Xiaoguang was really scared. He heard from the teacher that some of the children who were abducted were found in a cornfield. Suddenly, a man jumped out, picked up the child, jumped on a motorcycle and ran away. Even if you wanted to chase him, you couldn't catch up.

Li Luo nodded: "You two should be careful on the way to school. Go to crowded places if possible, and don't go to the green tent."

Li Luo knew that there were many paths leading to school, and many of the human traffickers would hide in the green tents and kidnap the children.

"We know that when we go to school, the adults around us all know us. If there are strangers, they will also be questioned." Ling Xiaoguang said.

Li Luo felt relieved at this. She had been to the school before and there were many houses on the main road. Generally speaking, the appearance of a stranger in this remote mountain village would be very abrupt and she would inevitably be questioned.

"Auntie...please be careful with Yaya. I'm not concerned about you, I'm concerned about Yaya." After Ling Xiaoguang said this, he lowered his head, seemingly busy looking for his homework.
