Chapter 269 Are the Leng family devils?
"You can adopt them, then what?"
Li Caiyun looked confused: "Then let them live in our house? Besides, they are old enough and can help with housework..."
What she meant was that the two sisters Leng Yue and Leng Qiu were able to work and would not sit around and eat idle meals.
To put it bluntly, Li Caiyun felt sorry for them and was worried that Zhou Yong would ignore them because of his dispute with Cui Shufen.
Zhou Yong frowned slightly and stared at Li Caiyun who was trying to persuade him, feeling that she still didn't understand him well enough.
What does the grudge between adults have to do with children?
Besides, he is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. The couple have been sleeping in the same bed for more than ten years, but Li Caiyun still doesn't understand the person next to her.
Zhou Yong thought about this and laughed quietly. Li Caiyun was confused: "Why are you laughing? Is what I said wrong?"
"You're making things too simple!"
Li Caiyun frowned and bit her lip: "What do you mean by that?"
Zhou Yong had a blank expression on his face: "If the sisters stay in our house, the old woman Leng will find out about this sooner or later. If they come to ask for them, will you give them to us or not?
Although I am their uncle, legally speaking, old lady Leng is their sisters' guardian. Do we have to compete with the Leng family for the custody of their sisters?
If that were the case, things would definitely cause a big uproar! !
Besides, with Old Lady Leng’s vicious and cruel temper, would she let the two sisters go easily?
She will try every means to ruin the reputation of the two sisters. What will you do then? ”
After hearing Zhou Yong's four questions, Li Caiyun was speechless.
Zhou Yong raised his wrist to check the time, and his eyes fell on Li Caiyun's face, who was frozen in place. "Think about these things carefully. I'll go to Masanjia first, and we'll talk about other things in the evening."
Li Caiyun nodded mechanically. Zhou Yong looked at her pitiful expression and raised his hand to pinch her face: "Xiaoyun, think more about things. It won't do you any harm. No matter what you do, don't act on impulse..."
She only felt sorry for the Leng sisters, but never thought about what would happen after she took them in.
Li Caiyun looked at Zhou Yong: "I didn't think it through."
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Okay, come in. I'm going to Ma San's house."
Li Caiyun responded, and Zhou Yong rode his bicycle and left home.
Zhou Yong and Ma San talked about the fight between Zhou Kexin and her two siblings and their classmates, and the two went to school talking about these things.
When he arrived at Ma San’s office, he took out his key and opened the door.
"Brother Zhou, I'll wait for you outside."
Zhou Yong nodded, he walked into Ma San's office and picked up the landline phone on the desk.
He called Chen Pingliang first, then Zhou Yong thought for a while and dialed Zhou Xia's landline.
The brother and sister chatted for more than ten minutes, then hung up the phone, with Zhou Yong frowning.
Over the years, the siblings have talked on the phone countless times, but Zhou Xia has never asked about the situation of her four daughters over the phone. Behind this is her deep resentment towards the Leng family.
Now that the sisters are in trouble and have no one to rely on, as a mother, she can't just sit there and watch.
So she wanted to come back to find her two daughters who were sold, and then bring them to live with her.
Zhou Yong respects Zhou Xia's decision and supports her approach.
No matter what, the children are innocent.
Zhou Yong pinched his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then called Cao Biao.
The cold old woman would not easily tell Zhou Xia the whereabouts of her two children, and would definitely make all kinds of unreasonable and harsh demands.
So Zhou Yong planned to use courtesy first and then force. If Old Lady Leng wanted to commit suicide, he didn't mind finding a place for her to eat for free.
To save the old woman from having to work hard for food and clothing, she can be directly made a staff member of the state.
Zhou Yong walked out of Ma San's office and Ma San, who was not far away, came to greet him.
"Brother Zhou, you don't have to worry about the child. I will take care of it..."
Zhou Yong locked the door of Ma San's office and handed him the key.
"I have to take care of this matter myself, otherwise other teachers might talk about you in private."
Ma San smiled and said, "That's nothing. If they have the guts, they can just talk to me in person."
Zhou Yong chuckled and patted Ma San on the shoulder: "People's words are scary."
Ma San always thinks about Zhou Yong's family. As a good brother, Zhou Yong naturally has to consider Ma San.
The two of them left the school while talking and stood on the side of the road chatting for a while.
"Brother Zhou, come to my house and have a meal."
Zhou Yong shook his head: "No."
Seeing this, Ma San stopped trying to persuade Zhou Yong, and the two of them separated at the intersection and went back to their respective homes.
When Zhou Yong arrived home, the sisters Leng Yue and Leng Qiu had changed drastically.
The patched clothes they wore when they came had been changed, and the two sisters were washed and dressed up.
Their skin was slightly dark and their bodies were thin, and they clearly looked malnourished.
Zhou Yong frowned secretly and thought: What a sin, a good child was raised like this by a cold old woman.
He sighed slightly in his heart and turned his eyes away from the Leng sisters.
Breakfast was ready at home. Zhou Yong washed his hands and prepared to eat.
"You guys are coming over here?"
Everyone was seated, but the two sisters Leng Yue and Leng Qiu were standing at the kitchen door.
Leng Qiu stared at the breakfast on the table and couldn't help swallowing. Leng Yue whispered, "Aunt, wait until you have finished your breakfast, then we'll eat."
Li Caiyun was confused: "What's that for? It's not like the table can't accommodate you two sisters. Come over and eat quickly."
Leng Yue and Leng Qiu did not go over. The two sisters turned around and went to the kitchen to clean up.
Li Caiyun blinked and looked at everyone: "Did I say that wrong?"
Zhang Guifang frowned: "You didn't say anything?"
Li Caiyun stood up with doubt in her heart: "That's right, then why did they go to the kitchen?"
Li Baotian's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly: "Are they afraid of Zhou Yong?"
Zhou Yong: “…?”
Does he look that scary?
A streak of black streaked across Zhou Yong's forehead: "Dad, I haven't said anything since I came back, and I haven't done anything either. Why are they afraid of me?"
He felt that he was so wronged, just like Dou E.
Li Baotian smiled and said, "It's probably because you have a stern face."
Zhou Yong curled the corner of his mouth and looked at his father-in-law. He suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.
Zhang Guifang glanced at her husband and said, "Just stop talking! Zhou Yong, go and see what's going on."
Li Caiyun had already gone to the kitchen, and Zhou Yong stood up after hearing what his mother-in-law said.
After some questioning, the two sisters told the truth.
In the Leng family, they were not entitled to sit at the table to eat and could only eat leftovers.
Moreover, they were not allowed to eat too much even if there were leftovers. They had to eat only until they were 30% to 50% full at each meal, otherwise they would be beaten and scolded.
Li Caiyun was stunned: "Are the Leng family members devils?"
She couldn't believe her ears. In this day and age, there are still old people who treat children so harshly.
Leng Yue gradually lowered her head, sniffed, and said with a choked voice: "As far as I can remember, my mother never sat at the table to eat."
Li Caiyun widened her eyes in disbelief, her three perspectives were shattered.
In the past, if guests came to visit, some families would not allow women and children to sit at the table to eat.
That's because of the food shortage. When a child sees delicious food, he can't control himself, and women have no common topics with men.
