The three children stood in the yard until Mu Lianrong was seen off at the gate.

Xiao Yunying not only had a sore arm, but her head hurt even more.

She had never raised children and really didn't know how to communicate with them.

They weren't bad, they just hated the original owner of the body.

On the contrary, they are very sensible and take the initiative to do all the chores around the house.

To say they weren't bad people is an understatement; the person they hated most is now herself.

Being constantly rejected, guarded against, and targeted by them is such a headache.

Most importantly, she remembers that the first time she was conscious, she was lying on the ground.

The ground is cold and damp, which will only worsen the condition of someone who is running a high fever and is unconscious.

Neither Lin Shi, who dragged her back, nor Mu Lianrong would allow her to lie unconscious on the ground.

Remembering what Luo Chen had just said to him, he realized that Luo Chen really wanted him to die.

This made her suspect that it was probably him or them who had put her on the ground.

If we look at it this way, although they didn't cause the original owner's death, they definitely pushed things along.

Regardless of whether their efforts have any effect, taking action is taking action.

Unfortunately, all of this is just speculation; she has no evidence.

Even if you ask, they won't admit it if they really did it.

She didn't want to think too badly of people, especially since the three children combined weren't even as big as she was in her previous life.

Let's give them one last chance, try to get them to accept it, and believe in themselves.

This is also a final chance for myself to try to adapt to and be tolerant of them.

Xiao Yunying thought to herself silently.

"Have you three had lunch yet?"

The three children stood in the yard for a long time, their anxiety reaching its peak when Xiao Yunying stood before them in silence.

They thought the first thing they heard was a curse, followed by being hit with a broom from behind the door.

To my utter surprise, the first thing they asked was whether they had eaten.

His tone was gentle and calm, without a trace of anger.

"Say something, have you eaten yet?"

Luo Yang was the first to react: "I haven't eaten. My brother said he'd make it when you get back."

"Didn't I already say that if I come back late, you guys should cook some porridge first, don't wait for me?"

Luo Chen whispered, "There's not much rice left..."

If you eat at noon, you won't have anything to eat in the evening.

"Didn't I say I came to town to buy rice? You... never mind, come in with me."

Xiao Yunying picked up two oil paper packages from the table and stuffed them into the arms of the two men:

"I bought some meat buns, go and eat them quickly. If they get cold, heat them up yourself. You guys know how to start a fire anyway. Oh, and save one for your little sister, she can eat it when she wakes up."

Without thinking, Luo Chen blurted out, "Have you eaten?"

Xiao Yunying looked him up and down with a mocking gaze: "Oh, now you remember me? You're not the same person who wanted to kill me when I first walked in."

Luo Chen's face flushed red instantly.

Luo Li suddenly closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and shouted, "I'm sorry!"

The sudden shout startled Xiao Yunying.

He patted his chest: "You scared me! Keep your voice down, Xin'er is still sleeping."

Luo Li's face flushed red, as if he were competing with his older brother, and he lowered his voice to repeat, "I'm sorry."

Luo Chen also said, "Me too, I'm sorry."

Xiao Yunying seized the opportunity to educate the child: "Why are you apologizing to me?"

Luo Li glanced at Luo Yang, and seeing his second brother nod at him encouragingly, he mustered his courage and said:

“My second brother said that it’s okay to make mistakes. No one can go through life without making mistakes. If you know you’re wrong, admit it, and correct it, you’re still a good kid. I shouldn’t have ignored your explanation and just based on what I saw, I took things out of context and assumed you sold my sister. I wronged you and even bit you. I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?”

Luo Chen nodded: "Me too."

Xiao Yunying was very pleased; it seemed that these children weren't beyond redemption.

"I'll forgive you this once because of your sincerity, but this is the only time, and there won't be a next time."

Luo Li couldn't believe her ears: "Really? You're not going to hit us?"

Xiao Yunying gently tapped his forehead: "You little rascal, you're not used to me not hitting you, are you?"

Luo Li touched his forehead. When this woman wasn't hitting people, she seemed quite nice.

Xiao Yunying felt now was a good time to reconcile with the children, and raised her bitten arm:

"I know that the rift between us can't be erased in a short time. Just like this bite mark, it will take some time to heal. If the wound is deep, it will leave an indelible scar after it heals."

But the wound has already been inflicted. Dwelling on it will only remind you of how painful it was. It's better to give it some time. Even if the scar can't be completely removed, it will gradually fade with time and eventually be forgotten.

I don't ask for your forgiveness for the hurt I caused you in the past, or for your complete trust. I only hope that you won't dwell on the past, give me a chance, and give yourselves a chance, to live well together from now on, forget the past, and focus on the future, okay?

Luo Yang frowned and stared directly into Xiao Yunying's eyes, while Xiao Yunying met his gaze without flinching.

Can I really trust you?

"real."

"Okay, then I'll trust you one more time."

Luo Chen nodded: "I'm willing to trust you one more time."

Seeing that her two older brothers had nodded, Luo Li quickly nodded as well, afraid of being left behind: "Then I'll trust you one more time."

Xiao Yunying had been walking all morning and was exhausted. Having achieved her goal, she didn't want to keep them any longer and waved her hand, saying:

"Okay, now that we've talked it out, everything's fine. I'm a little tired, you guys can go out, I'm going to lie down for a while."

Seeing that she looked tired, Luo Chen didn't say anything more and led his younger brother out.
