Cheng Cheng first learned of Zhou Yue when she saw an old photo officially released online. Even with the extremely low pixel count of the black-and-white old photo, it couldn't hide the man...
Chapter 6, let's see how you perform in the future.
Ding Manman's expression changed immediately after she left Cheng Cheng's house.
Her face was as dark as a shrew that the old ladies in the alley use to scare children!
What to do? What to do? What to do?!
Do we really have to return it?
Ding Manman was reluctant to return all the nice clothes in the house, as they were all her favorite styles, and she had to use a lot of persuasion to convince Cheng Cheng to buy them.
They're all hers!
I felt extremely irritated and angry!
It's all Cheng Cheng's fault, that brainless idiot! How could she tell her everything just because her mother asked her a few questions? Idiot! Big idiot!
Ding Manman grew angrier the more she thought about it. She stomped her foot. Cheng Cheng was an idiot who was easy to fool, but the women in her family were shrewd and fierce, and she couldn't afford to mess with them!
Moreover, they are all a bunch of unreasonable shrewish women. If they really cause trouble at her home, it's a small matter if the neighbors and her sister-in-law laugh at her. The real problem is if they cause trouble at the factory, which would affect her work and cause big trouble!
Ding Manman hesitated for a moment, then crossed the road and passed the police station when a familiar figure came into view.
When she saw who it was, she immediately hid.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after watching the person cross the road and enter the alley.
"Hey, what are you doing here, lady? Which organization do you work for? Where do you live?"
Ding Manman was caught red-handed by the police officers at the police station. She was acting suspiciously and was called into the police station for questioning about her household registration.
Ding Manman cursed her bad luck in her heart. Did she not check the almanac before going out today?
Why are all these unlucky things happening one after another?!
Fan Zhifeng interrogated the man thoroughly, and when he saw that the man was stammering and unable to explain why he was hiding behind their police station, he immediately slammed his fist on the table.
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely! Comrade Ding, I hope you can answer truthfully!"
Ding Manman didn't understand why the police officer was holding her so tightly. She had already said that she was visiting a friend and had told the young officer the location of Cheng Cheng's house. The officer could have gone to Cheng Cheng to verify it. Why was he still holding her?
"Comrade, I already said my leg was numb, so I squatted down next to your police station for a while. That doesn't seem to be illegal, does it?"
Seeing the other party's sophistry and evasive arguments, Fan Zhifeng became even more convinced that the other party was not a good person!
He witnessed firsthand that the woman seemed to have spotted someone and immediately darted behind their police station to hide!
It wasn't because her leg went numb as she claimed, but he only suspected it and had no evidence. After giving her a few warnings, he had no choice but to let her go.
If she dares to come again, he will keep a close eye on her and will not give her any opportunity to threaten the safety of society and the people.

Little Lingxiao cried and turned into a little kitten. Cheng Cheng smiled, picked her up, and took her to the yard to wash her face.
"Do you remember what you promised Mom last night? You were going to make sure Mom changes and becomes better?"
Cheng Cheng squatted down, looked into the little guy's eyes, and kissed the little guy's cheek.
Xiao Lingxiao nodded, now certain that his mother was truly different.
The little guy's lips curled up, revealing a shy smile. His eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his smile actually looked a lot like Cheng Cheng's!
However, compared to Cheng Cheng's bright and beautiful appearance, Xiao Lingxiao's eyes and brows had a more aloof and cold look, perhaps inherited from Zhou Yue.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Auntie, Auntie, are you home?"
"Xiaoxiao, we've come to see you!"
Da Ni and Er Ni's voices rang out one after the other outside the door.
Xiao Lingxiao immediately turned around and looked towards the door, taking Cheng Cheng's hand, "Mom..."
Cheng Cheng knew what the little guy was worried about at the moment, after all, the last argument was in front of Xiao Lingxiao.
"Don't worry, Mom knows she was wrong. Mom was bad last time. Mom will apologize to your aunt and ask for her forgiveness."
Although she didn't hear her older sister's voice outside the door, Cheng Cheng's intuition told her that her older sister must have come too!
Before she could figure out how to apologize to her older sister and ask for her forgiveness, her older sister came to visit her!
Cheng Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise and emotion, and she immediately took Xiao Xiao's hand to open the door.
Pulling down the door latch, I saw her older sister standing at the door with a cold face.
"Sis, what brings you here today?"
Cheng Cheng raised a bright smile, her tone unconsciously revealing closeness and excitement.
Cheng Ping and Cheng Cheng don't look very alike. One has a face shape like Cheng Aiguo, while the other's features and face shape are a combination of the best features of Cheng Aiguo and Xu Fengying.
Cheng Ping has a square face with strong, heroic features. She has a neat, short bob and a dashing, decisive demeanor.
She went in with a cold face, not even looking at Cheng Cheng, and said in a flat tone, "I've come to see if my niece has been starved to death by her heartless mother!"
Cheng Cheng: "..."
She gave a forced smile, then put on a fawning expression, "Sister—"
Cheng Ping still ignored her, her gaze falling on Xiao Lingxiao, only then realizing that her niece had cut her hair at some point.
He beckoned his niece over and asked in a gentler tone, "Xiaoxiao, when did you get your hair cut?"
Little Lingxiao glanced at his mother before replying to his aunt in a childish voice, "I got my hair cut today, Auntie. Mom took me to get it cut."
Cheng Ping took her niece's hand and walked towards the kitchen. Suddenly, she turned back to her two daughters and said, "Hurry up and follow us. What are you standing there like a block of wood?"
"We already have a blockhead in the family who only learns bad habits and not good ones!"
These words were a veiled attack, and the underlying meaning was all too obvious.
Cheng Cheng was a little embarrassed. Well, her older sister's anger hadn't subsided yet, and it seemed to be getting worse.
However, the fact that her older sister took the initiative to come and brought so many things shows that she was already giving her younger sister, the original owner of this body, a lot of face.
She offered a way out, but if she doesn't learn to accept it, the relationship between the two sisters may never be repaired.
Da Ni and Er Ni weren't angry after hearing what their mother said. According to their grandmother, their mother was all bark and no bite; she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"Auntie!"
"Auntie!"
Da Ni and Er Ni spoke in unison.
Cheng Cheng smiled and agreed, then put her arm around them and went inside, asking as they walked, "What's in the basket?"
Before Da Ni and Er Ni could answer, Cheng Ping's roar came from the front: "This isn't for ungrateful bastards! Da Ni and Er Ni, come in quickly and give the pancakes to your sister!"
The next second, Cheng Ping's voice softened as she put her arm around her niece and asked, "Have you eaten breakfast? Are you hungry?"
There must be no food. Cheng Ping was extremely disappointed in her niece, who was thin and small. How could she have ended up with such an unreliable mother?
Poor thing!
My resentment towards Cheng Cheng had reached its peak. My little sister wasn't such an unreliable and heartless person before. How did she become like this?
She thought, "They've all lost their conscience!"
Xiao Lingxiao shook the hand he was holding from his aunt, looked up at her, and said, word by word, "I ate the millet porridge that Mom cooked."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ping's expression softened. She touched her niece's stomach and asked with a smile, "Has Xiaoxiao eaten enough?"
This interrogation clearly stemmed from distrust of Cheng Cheng, her biological mother.
Normally, this would indeed be a cause for concern. If it weren't for Cheng Ping, Xiao Lingxiao's condition might not be as good as it is now.
Cheng Cheng knows what's good for her; she really should feel ashamed!
"Sister, I know I was wrong. I was wrong before. After a month of deep reflection, I have realized how terribly wrong I was!"
Cheng Cheng looked sincere as she offered her self-reflection. She carefully took Cheng Ping's hand and said earnestly, "Sister, I'm sorry. It was all my fault before. I caused you so much worry..."
Cheng Ping's face turned cold, she snorted and, without a word of disbelief, shook off her hand.
Da Ni and Er Ni didn't dare to breathe. Although their mother had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, she was terrifying when she got angry, just like the tigresses described in textbooks!
At home, if they and their younger brother did something wrong and their mother got angry, no one in the family dared to plead for them!
Little Lingxiao looked up at his mother, then at his aunt, his little face filled with confusion and helplessness, as if he didn't know what to do.
Not to mention the children, in my memory, when her eldest sister got angry, not only Cheng Cheng, but even her eldest brother, second brother and youngest brother didn't dare to mess with her at that time.
Cheng Cheng bit her lip, staring at her older sister with her large, round, and beautiful eyes, her expression cautious as she watched her sister's expression.
He then reached for Cheng Ping's hand, and immediately gripped it tightly, their fingers intertwined.
Cheng Ping couldn't break free and glared at her with an unfriendly expression.
Cheng Cheng wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, she was a true warrior and faced the challenge head-on.
She leaned over and hugged her sister, her soft, sweet voice saying, "Sister, I'm so sorry. I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things to you, and I shouldn't have said those things to brother-in-law. I'm so heartless. I hurt you. I'm so sorry..."
"Sis, yell at me a few times, or hit me to vent your anger. Don't hold it in and ruin your health, sis~"
Cheng Cheng held her intertwined hands against her cheek, her bright eyes looking at her pitifully, as if awaiting the judgment of fate.
Cheng Ping's face wasn't as sour as when she came in, but she still looked at her younger sister with a cold expression that didn't seem fake; she genuinely repented.
He touched her right cheek with his palm, his voice still cold and harsh, and asked, "Can you change?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Cheng Cheng immediately said, rubbing her right cheek against her palm and giving her older sister a sweet, ingratiating smile.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her older sister was planning to forgive her. Last time they argued, her older sister slapped her on the right cheek.
Although her older sister didn't say it explicitly, she took the initiative to stroke her right cheek, which was a clear signal that her older sister was soft-hearted.
"Sis, starting now—no, starting yesterday—I've begun to correct my past wrong thoughts and behaviors. If you don't believe me, ask my little Xiaoxiao. She's my supervisor!"
Cheng Ping withdrew her hand, glanced at her, squatted down and asked Xiao Xiao in a low voice. After learning from her niece what she had done that night and morning, her expression improved.
However, time was too short, and she didn't say whether she forgave him or not, only coldly saying, "We'll see how you behave in the future!"
