Chapter 9: Desire and Expectation



Feng Zhiyi sighed with a hint of helplessness, tried to soften her voice, and invited the children to come in first, "Come in first, don't worry, I won't hit the children."

"Think about it, if I were really as bad and black-hearted as they say, I wouldn't have given you candy, right?"

Worried that the little ones might still have concerns and not want to come in, she patiently explained again.

Lu Ziheng pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before asking with a stern face, "Then you...will you beat us in the future? Will you be like other stepmothers, taking out your anger on the children?"

Although his grandparents and father always taught him and his brother that as a little man, they must be brave and strong at all times and not cry easily.

You must not be as spoiled as your sister.

But they are just three or four-year-old children after all!

In addition, in the village, we often see stepmothers beating and scolding children, and calling those children "bastards" who were born by their fathers but not raised by their mothers.

Anyway, the insults were really ugly.

Having seen and heard so many things like this, no matter how strong and brave he and his brother were, they would still feel scared and terrified in their hearts.

Moreover, there was one thing he had kept in his heart and dared not tell anyone, that was the woman who had come to their house before. She was extremely vicious. She took advantage of the time when her grandparents were discussing marriage with her family and ran out to threaten them.

She said that after she got married, she would kick the three siblings out.

They also called them unwanted wild children!

After scolding them, he threatened them fiercely that if they dared to complain to Grandpa and Grandma, he would secretly throw them into the mountains to feed the wild wolves...

"No, I won't hit you!"

As he spoke, Feng Zhiyi suddenly thought of something, so he added, "Of course, if you are naughty and make mistakes, then I will definitely not indulge you. When the time comes, the appropriate punishment will definitely not be spared."

"I believe your father must have told you that anyone who does something wrong must accept the corresponding punishment, right?"

Lu Ziheng, Lu Zirui, and Lu Xiaoning all nodded in unison.

In fact, it was not only their father who talked to them about this issue, but their grandparents also often taught them to be honest and good children at all times, not to lie, not to bully the weak, and not to be unreasonable.

On the contrary, if someone bullies them first, they must not endure it and must fight back on the spot.

Dad said this is a matter of principle.

Feng Zhiyi looked at the three cute and well-behaved children and couldn't help but raise her lips. She smiled and asked them, "Now that we have talked about everything, can you come in now?"

"If you keep acting all coy and refusing to come in, then I'll just eat all these candies myself!"

After saying that, she picked up a piece of candy and was about to open it.

When Lu Xiaoning saw her unwrapping the candy wrapper, he suddenly became anxious and didn't care whether he was scared or not. He trotted over to Feng Zhiyi.

He tilted his little head back and looked at her intently, "Mom!"

The change of words went very smoothly.

The baby voice is both cute and sweet.

Feng Zhiyi felt her heart melt instantly.

Emma!

This girl is so talented.

She immediately called out "Mommy" sweetly, without asking for candy. She just looked at you with her big, watery eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering.

real.

They're so cute and adorable!

She couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little girl's cheek. It was chubby and felt really good.

"So good! Here, put it in your pocket and eat it slowly. Don't eat it all at once, okay?" She rubbed little Ningning's head, and with her other hand, she put the candy into Ningning's clothes pocket, about seven or eight pieces.

When Lu Ziheng and Lu Zirui saw this scene, they were stunned, their black eyes widened and round.

In a daze, they felt that the way the girl stroked her sister's head and her gentle tone were exactly like the image of a mother they imagined.

Slowly, the vigilance and defensiveness in the two children's eyes disappeared, replaced by longing and expectation for their mother!

They also wanted to be like their sister, to have the girl gently caress their heads, and to remind them in a pleasant voice not to be greedy when eating, but to eat slowly.

Just when Lu Ziheng was struggling over whether to go in or not, he heard the girl's voice calling him.

"Come in quickly, both of you!"

Feng Zhiyi tilted his head to look at them, a warm smile on his face, and his voice was soft, like a sweet spring, or a gentle spring breeze, blowing across the two brothers' young hearts, leaving a seed that was quietly sprouting.

Without further hesitation, the two brothers stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

"Mom!" the two little ones called out to Feng Zhiyi very politely.

Their younger sister had already changed her tone and started calling her "Mom." If they didn't, wouldn't it seem like they were being too disobedient? Besides, Grandma had just told them that Feng Zhiyi would be their mom from now on, and that they should listen to her.

"good!"

Feng Zhiyi was impartial and also rubbed their little heads, then put the candies in their pockets, the same as Lu Xiaoning, seven or eight pieces.

Then she took out three big unity notes and handed them to the children as a reward for changing their words.

Now that she and Lu Lingxiao were officially married, she was worthy of being called "Mom" by her children, so she didn't feel shy or embarrassed, and simply accepted the fact that she was a wife and a mother.

The three children were very well-behaved and sensible. After receiving the candy, they first said "Thank you!" to Feng Zhiyi, and then took out the candy and started eating happily.

Especially the little girl, after eating the candy, she was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits.

Seeing the children's happy faces, Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but smile as well. She asked Lu Xiaoning with a smile, "Is it sweet?"

"sweet!"

Lu Xiaoning nodded with a smile, and then she asked sweetly, "Mom, White Rabbit candy is so fragrant and delicious. Can I eat it again in the future?"

The little girl's big, dark eyes were filled with longing and anticipation. She tilted her head back, revealing two adorable dimples as she looked at Feng Zhiyi.

Then, she reached out her little hand to tug at Feng Zhiyi's clothes, cautiously probing as if afraid that Feng Zhiyi would dislike her. This scene made Feng Zhiyi's heart ache.

I feel so sorry for these kids.

I decided to have a good talk with Lu Lingxiao about these three children after finishing today's work.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Lu loved the three children very much, they had never felt their mother's love. Lu Lingxiao was in the army all year round, and the time he returned home could be counted on five fingers. Gradually, the children became inferior, sensitive, and extremely insecure.

On the contrary, if parents take care of their children themselves, they will be much healthier and more cheerful both mentally and in character.
