Xiao Xinyan stared intently at Liang Xunling, her large eyes seemingly brimming with spiritual energy, clear and pure as glass.

She wasn't joking.

At this very moment, the "bald man" who brings bad luck is swinging Liang Xunling on a swing by her hair, looking quite smug.

It seemed to think it had done a good thing.

But upon hearing Xiao Xinyan's well-intentioned reminder, Liang Xunling suddenly became furious, deliberately raising her voice and spitting out:

"I knew you were just as abnormal as the fourth brother! You really are just like the fourth brother, with something wrong with your head. All you do all day is spout annoying nonsense that's irritating!"

Liang Xunling's tone also revealed her undisguised disgust for Xiao Xinyan.

"You're the one who'll be unlucky! How dare you curse me!"

Liang Xunling grew increasingly angry as she spoke, even shoving Xiao Xinyan in a shrill voice: "Go away, don't provoke me here, you're such a bad omen!"

She deliberately used a lot of force, pushing Xiao Xinyan to the ground so hard that she fell on her bottom.

Her bottom felt like it had been split into four pieces. Xiao Xinyan frowned, bit her lip hard, and dared not cry out in pain.

Because when she was bullied by those unruly kids in the village, the more pain she felt, the more they would bully her.

Over time, Xiao Xinyan developed a habit of swallowing all her suffering, since crying out would not elicit any pity or mercy from the other party anyway.

Because of the pain in her bottom from the fall, Xiao Xinyan couldn't get up from the floor for a while. Just then, Li Qicheng and Zhong Jingyi came over for breakfast and happened to see Liang Xunling push Xiao Xinyan to the ground.

Zhong Jingyi's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Xiao Yanbao had been hurt. She rushed to her daughter's side as fast as she could, picked her up, and held her in her arms to comfort her.

"Yanbao, tell Mommy quickly, where did you hurt yourself?"

Zhong Jingyi asked with heartache in her eyes, her eyes suddenly turning red, and crystal tears dripped down uncontrollably.

She truly treated Xiao Xinyan as her own daughter.

Seeing this, Xiao Xinyan quickly and sensibly reached out her little hand to wipe away her mother's tears, and comforted her mother in her sweet, childish voice:

"Don't cry, Mommy, Yan Yan isn't in pain."

The more sensible the little one is, the more Zhong Jingyi needs to support her.

From the moment Xiao Xinyan entered the Li family, Liang Xunling had an unwelcoming attitude and expressed her opinions openly and secretly.

Zhong Jingyi saw all of this and originally intended to turn a blind eye for the sake of family and not hold it against her, but she did not expect that she would actually lay a hand on Yanbao.

Zhong Jingyi could no longer bear it and questioned Liang Xunling, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Yanbao is just a child, how could you push her so hard?"

Li Qicheng, who followed closely behind, frowned and said to Liang Xunling, "Sister-in-law, you've gone too far. Even if Yanbao offended you by accident, it was unintentional. Why are you targeting her like this?"

The couple stood together to support their daughter.

Liang Xunling glared at Xiao Xinyan with hostility, her tone becoming even sharper, "When did I target her? Which of your eyes saw me target her? It's clearly her bad luck that she came over early in the morning to annoy me, saying I'd be unlucky."

As the eldest sister-in-law, Liang Xunling had long harbored resentment towards the third son and his wife. Now that she had the opportunity, she couldn't help but deliver a sarcastic remark.

She sneered and said, "Heh, you two might have picked up some kind of freak! And you're spoiling her like a treasure. When she grows up, she might be even more abnormal than the fourth son. You'll be in for a world of hurt then!"

The loud, boisterous noise rang out in the Li family's living room, and was overheard by the old man of the Li family who was coming downstairs.

The old man's brows furrowed instantly, and he gave his eldest daughter-in-law, Liang Xunling, a cold look of displeasure.

"What's all the noise about so early in the morning?"

Ignoring the old lady's objections, the old man of the Li family directly reprimanded her: "In front of the children, you have no manners as an elder at all, aren't you ashamed!"

Although the fourth son, Li Qichen, was diagnosed with mental illness and often behaved strangely and abnormally, he was still the youngest son of the Li family patriarch.

No matter how bad one's own son is, it's none of anyone else's business to say so.

The eldest son's wife is really losing her sense of propriety more and more.

They actually scolded both the fourth son, Li Qichen, and the old man's long-awaited granddaughter.

When the old man of the Li family spoke to her, it was obvious that he was angry.

Of his three daughters-in-law, the eldest was the most troublesome. She was always scheming and plotting against others, and she valued even the smallest bit of benefit.

The old master of the Li family understood everything. If it weren't for the saying "harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things," he would have already sent his eldest daughter-in-law away from the Li family manor to start her own household elsewhere.

Seeing that the old man and old woman had arrived, Liang Xunling's voice softened instantly, and she put on a wronged expression, saying:

"Dad, don't be so biased. It was clearly because this girl came over early this morning and said I would have bad luck that I got angry and said a few words to her. Then the third son and his wife started arguing with me without even asking what happened. I feel wronged!"

Upon hearing this, the old master of the Li family frowned, turned his gaze to the little bundle of joy held in Zhong Jingyi's arms, and his expression immediately softened as he gently inquired:

"Yanbao, did you really say that about your aunt?"
