Chapter 188 Immediate Complaint

But Xi Yingyue was still angry and refused to listen. She continued to yell, "My grandfather is the head of the group. If you dare to mess with me, you will be in trouble!"

Lin Anan was not frightened by her words at all. Instead, she smiled and took a step forward, staring at Xi Yingyue: "So what if your grandfather is Captain Xi? Does that give you the capital to bully others? You must apologize today, otherwise this matter will not end."

When the people around saw Xi Yingyue bringing up her grandfather, they all looked at Lin Anan with some concern, and some people kindly advised: "Comrade, these are just small matters, why don't you just forget about it."

Lin Anan looked at the man gratefully and nodded at him.

"Hurry up and apologize, otherwise it will be useless even if your grandfather comes! My Xiaolan, her brother and I don't even want to scold her, how can you, an outsider, bully her like this?"

Seeing this, the woman knew that if the matter was not resolved properly, there would be no way to end it peacefully, so she said with a fake smile: "Comrade, this is just a quarrel between children, it's really not that serious."

Lin Anan didn't say anything else and just looked at her coldly.

Seeing Lin Anan's tough attitude and more and more people gathering around them, the woman had to give in first, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, is that enough?" After saying that, without giving Lin Anan a chance to react, she pulled Xi Yingyue and walked away quickly.

Xi Yingyue turned around and gave Chu Minglan a fierce look with an unwilling look on her face.

Lin Anan looked at their backs as they left, still feeling a little angry, but she also knew that today's situation was good enough to make the other party apologize.

She looked down at Chu Minglan beside her and found that the little girl's eyes were red and her body was trembling slightly.

Lin Anan hugged Chu Minglan in her arms distressedly and comforted her softly, "Xiaolan, don't be afraid, your sister-in-law is here."

Chu Minglan raised her head and looked at Lin Anan, her voice tearful: "Sister-in-law, I... I am so useless. Why didn't I dare to speak just now..."

"Xiao Lan, does this little girl often bully you?"

Chu Minglan didn't say anything. She was silent for a long time and then shook her head.

Lin Anan looked at Chu Minglan's evasive eyes and knew that she must be hiding something. "Okay, let's not think about it anymore. Let's go buy some vegetables and cook hot pot tonight."

Lin Anan was concerned about this matter and planned to talk to Chu Mingzhou about it in the evening. She would then go to the school to find out what was going on.

If there is such a thing as school bullying, no matter who her grandfather is, I will never let her off easily.

Lin Anan had been bullied for more than ten years, and she had to bear it all by herself. She had learned enough and become good enough to stop them from taking action against her, their cash cow.

Later she was taken back by the Lin family, and died in such a confused manner. It’s really sad to think about it.

Chu Minglan is a real family member and a younger sister to her. Now that she has the ability to protect her, she will not and will not bear to let her be bullied like this.

Bullying is an indelible shadow on childhood...

After buying groceries and returning home, Chu Minglan tried hard to adjust her mood, washed her face, and immediately went to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot.

Lin Anan felt a pang of pain in her heart as she watched her pretending to be strong.

I deliberately chatted with Chu Minglan.

As they chatted, Lin Anan also remembered who Xi Yingyue was.

Chu Minglan said she was the most beautiful girl in the military compound.

Not long after, Chu Mingzhou came back.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Anan in the kitchen, so he changed his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and took over.

At just one glance, I could tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Chu Mingzhou frowned slightly, "What happened?"

It would have been fine if he didn't ask. As soon as he asked, Lin Anan immediately got angry, whimpered a few words, pulled the man out of the kitchen, and went back to the house to complain.

"Mingzhou, I went out to buy rain boots for Xiaolan and Xiaoyu today, and I was bullied..."

She told him everything about the conflict in the supply and marketing cooperative and her speculation that Chu Minglan might have been bullied at school.

Of course, she was very precise in deciding which words should be emphasized and which should be lightened.

After Chu Mingzhou heard this, his face turned ugly, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "Granddaughter of the old Xi family?"

"Yes, it's Captain Xi, and the girl's name is Xi Yingyue."

Chu Mingzhou saw her coughing a few times and quickly poured her a glass of warm water, "Don't worry."

Lin Anan complained first and then blamed him, "You really don't care about Xiaolan at all. She has been suppressed for many years. Don't you notice it at all? I want to go to school tomorrow and ask the class teacher about the situation."

Chu Mingzhou didn't refute even though he was blamed. He hugged her and patted her on the back, "Blame me. I didn't pay attention."

Lin Anan leaned in Chu Mingzhou's arms, her emotions calmed down a little, "Why are these kids like this nowadays? They bully others just because their family has some power. Xiaolan is so sensible, how could she suffer such grievances?"

"Don't be angry, I'll take care of this."

Lin Anan looked up at him and nodded: "Then I will go to school tomorrow too. I can't stand being bullied all the time."

Chu Mingzhou didn't want her to get involved. After all, her emotions couldn't fluctuate too much, and it wasn't worth it to get angry over these things.

After much persuasion, Chu Mingzhou finally said that he would go and promise to get to the bottom of it. Only then was Lin Anan persuaded.

After getting ready, the family prepared to eat.

Let’s talk about the unpleasant things tomorrow, and still have to enjoy the meal.

Facing the hotpot she had been longing for, Lin Anan's smile appeared on her face again.

The rain was dripping against the windows, and the sky and the earth seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gauze, filled with a damp and quiet atmosphere.

Inside the house, the family sat around a steaming hot pot, which was bubbling with a bone and corn soup base. The spices in the soup base were bubbling up and down, releasing a rich and tempting aroma that instantly filled the whole house.

Lin Anan put the ingredients into the pot. Several kinds of vegetables were cut and classified, the meatballs were freshly made, and the beef and mutton were brought by her aunt at the end of the year.

The portions are big enough for four people.

The tender lamb rolls were pulled by chopsticks and slowly slid into the pot, immediately creating a small splash of water. Then, cabbage, tofu, potatoes and other ingredients were added to the pot.

Chu Mingyu rubbed his hands from time to time, mumbling: "It smells so good, when can I eat it?"

Chu Minglan was more reserved, but she couldn't hide the desire in her eyes, and she reminded her brother: "Don't be impatient, you have to cook it before you can eat it."

"Okay, hurry up and start eating."

"Great~"

Everyone started to use their chopsticks to put the cooked ingredients into their bowls.

Chu Mingyu dipped the mutton roll in the sauce specially prepared by Lin Anan and took a bite. The soup burst in his mouth. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction and said vaguely, "It's so delicious. Sister-in-law, can I eat hot pot every day?"

"Okay, okay, no problem."

The rain outside the window was still falling slowly, and the heat from the hot pot blurred the window.
