Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Rumors

After having lunch too late, Zhang Yuandong ate a few mouthfuls of food and rushed to work. The children slept soundly at noon, so Lin Yue simply did not let Lingling and Wanli go to kindergarten. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Wanli and Lingling woke up in a daze.

Little Sisi had a different schedule from her brothers and sisters. She had just drunk milk and went to sleep. After joining the army, the situation became complicated. Although Lin Yue had raised many sheep in her space, she did not dare to feed her child goat milk. Fortunately, when she was in the Public Security Bureau, several police officers found a way to get a few bags of milk powder. Lin Yue had been feeding Sisi this for the past few days.

However, the milk powder at that time was different from the milk powder of later generations. The nutrients in it were not so balanced, and it was not enough to just rely on that little milk powder. Fortunately, there was milk available in the military area, and Xiao Sisi drank milk today, and it was not the skimmed kind. She was also the first child among these children to drink milk.

Wanli and Lingling had just woken up when they saw their mother had built a small house in the living room using chairs. The house was covered with an old indigo-colored bed sheet, and their mother was peeking inside through the door of the house.

The floor of the small house was covered with a thick blanket. Little Mushroom liked this small space very much and sat inside and refused to come out. Lin Yue lifted the curtain and secretly looked inside. The little guy immediately became annoyed and waved his hand to hurry him away: "Mom, let's go!"

Lin Yue thought it was funny, laughed, and lifted the curtain to look inside. This time the kid was really annoyed, and shouted, "Mom, elbow!" While shouting, he pushed Lin Yue out.

Lin Yue stopped teasing him and surrendered: "Okay, okay, let me go, let me go!"

When Xiao Lingling saw the little house, her eyes lit up instantly, and she begged Lin Yue to make one for her. Lin Yue looked back and saw that Xiao Wanli's eyes were also sparkling, full of desire.

Lin Yue found it funny, so she built a slightly larger "house" for them in the corner of the living room. She nailed a nail in the higher part of the wall seam, and nailed another one on each side of the wall at a lower place, and hung a bed sheet on it, and it became a triangular hut.

Wanli and Lingling liked this place very much. They cheered and happily went in. Lingling stuck his head out and announced loudly: "Mom, this is our 'secret base' from now on. No one else is allowed to enter!"

Lin Yue suppressed his laughter and replied: "Okay, okay, this is your secret base!"

After playing for a while, Little Mushroom wanted to get out, and staggered to find his brother and sister. While the three of them didn't need him, Lin Yue sneaked into the space, found all the clothes that the three children had worn since they were young, and found clothes that Little Sisi could wear.

It’s not that Lin Yue was reluctant to give Sisi new clothes, but making clothes was too troublesome, and old clothes were more cost-effective.

When Sisi woke up, Lin Yue fed her milk again and asked the children, "Mom is going to the market, will you come with me?"

Lingling didn't want to walk such a long way, so she volunteered, "Mom, I'll stay at home to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, so I won't go!"

Lin Yue did not expose her little thoughts, and turned to look at Wanli. Wanli ran to the door, picked up the small basket, and urged: "Mom, let's go!"

Lin Yue smiled, carried the big bamboo basket on his back, and went out with Wanli.

Although the market was not far away, it was still a short walk. It took her 20 minutes to walk there with little Wanli. At this moment, she wished she had a bicycle.

She and Wanli were the only two people on the road. Wanli hesitated for a long time before she mustered up the courage to look up at Lin Yue and asked, "Mom, is Lingling too harsh on my brother? She always scolds him."

After Little Mushroom was born, Lin Yue had to go to work as usual, so Wanli took on the job of taking care of Little Mushroom. Although Lingling also liked her younger brother, she couldn't compete with her brother, and she couldn't concentrate on taking care of the child, so apart from Lin Yue, Wanli took care of Little Mushroom the most, devoted a lot of energy, and naturally loved this younger brother the most. However, although he felt that Lingling was too harsh on his younger brother, he did not blindly protect his younger brother, but secretly asked Lin Yue for his opinion.

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment. This child is not even five years old yet. She has always felt that this child is too precocious. There are too many things in his little head, and he always has endless worries. However, every child has his own personality, and Lin Yue cannot say that he is definitely bad. On the contrary, Wanli is calm and composed, and his logic is also clear, which is his advantage.

She thought about her words before asking, "Do you think what Little Mushroom did today was right? Does he need to be taught a lesson? If it were you, how would you discipline him?"

Wanli nodded. "But I won't be like Lingling. I will talk to him nicely and make him listen to me, just like you did to us when we were little."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "It's a good idea. But everyone has their own personality. Lingling has a hot temper and is not as thorough as you. Sometimes she gets more aggressive when she gets angry. But she is still quite sensible, right? She knows that she is strong and is afraid of hurting others, so she has never taken action seriously. The same is true for Little Mushroom. She will scold him and stop him, but she will not hurt Little Mushroom, right?"

Wanli nodded, but his brows were still furrowed. Lin Yue added, "You have to remember one thing. Not only are you and Lingling my mother's children, but so is Little Mushroom, and now there is also Sisi. All three of you are my children, and I love you all the same. I will not just stand by and watch her bully other children because I favor one child."

At this point, she blinked at Wanli and said, "Mom didn't interfere with Lingling's discipline of Little Mushroom because Little Mushroom did make mistakes, and Little Mushroom is very good at reading people's faces. He knows that you and I are reluctant to discipline him, so he is not afraid of us when he makes mistakes. He is only the most obedient in front of Lingling!"

When Wanli saw his mother's funny expression, his brows relaxed and he covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

Lingling actually asked her the same question.

When Ling Ling got angry at Little Mushroom for the first time, it also scared Lin Yue. Ling Ling was worried that she had done something wrong, so she secretly asked Lin Yue about it later.

Lingling's ability to express herself was not as good as Wanli's, but Lin Yue could also hear her uneasiness. On one hand, she couldn't control her temper, and on the other hand, she was worried that she had gone too far, because Wanli had never scolded her like that, and neither had her mother.

Lin Yue wanted to tell her that you should not have too thick a filter for your mother, because your mother often loses her temper with you. Lingling learned spanking from her. But since the child did not bear grudges and thought she was gentle, she could not refute anything.

She knew what Lingling was worried about, and finally the two of them agreed, "If you are afraid that you have gone too far, then let's make a deal. When you want to teach Little Mushroom a lesson, you must do it in front of me. If you do something wrong, I can remind you."

Ling Ling really did it. She would only teach Little Mushroom a lesson when Lin Yue could see her. If she wasn't in front of Lin Yue, she would keep account for Little Mushroom. So Lin Yue was very confident in her. As long as she didn't go too far, he wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the children.

The vegetables in the morning were not as fresh as those in the afternoon. Lin Yue only bought a few potatoes and a handful of leeks. She also bought some seasonal fruits, apples, pears, persimmons, and grapes, but bought a few less. Because there were so many kinds, it was heavy to carry in her hands. Lin Yue put them in the backpack and walked home with Xiao Wanli.

She didn't buy the fruit just to eat it. There were many kinds of fruit, but she only had one or two of each. Fruits were expensive at that time, and ordinary families couldn't afford to buy them. It was normal to buy an apple.

She bought these fruits mainly to have a reason to take out the fruits in the space. Anyway, everyone just needs to know that she bought fruits. Who can keep accounts for her?

Moreover, the fruits on the market are not as delicious as those in her space, and the quality is different.

The big and small walked into the family compound. Before they even reached the downstairs, they saw Lingling holding little Sisi in her arms, with little Mushroom beside her, talking to a few women downstairs. Their family lived on the third floor, and they didn't know how Lingling got these two little guys downstairs.

Wanli had just mentioned Lingling behind his back, and he felt a little guilty at the moment. Now that he saw someone, he wanted to rush forward. However, Lin Yue felt that the atmosphere over there was a little strange, so he immediately grabbed Wanli and walked over there together.

There were many trees planted in the family yard, and some areas were cleared for growing crops and vegetables. Although Wanli and Lin Yue saw a group of people talking to Lingling early in the morning, they were probably too focused on what they were saying and did not notice the two people for a while.

In the shade between the two family buildings, four women in their forties were sitting. Some of them were sewing, sitting on ponytails, crossing their legs and teasing the children in front of them, laughing and making faces from time to time, looking extremely obscene.

Lin Yue had only been in the family compound for a short time, and she basically didn't know any of the people in this group. She only barely recognized that two of them had spoken to Yang Yan yesterday.

As they got closer, Lin Yue heard someone say, "Girl, you didn't let your aunt touch your brother's little bird. Then your aunt asked you, when you were in your hometown, did any other uncles secretly go to your house to sleep with your mother?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several people looked at each other, laughing so hard that they fell over, with malicious intent written all over their faces.

Lingling was still young and didn't understand the meaning of the words, but she could tell from their attitudes that they had bad intentions. She asked, "Why do other uncles want to sleep with my mother? Don't they have homes?"

Another person said, "Hey, kid, you don't understand! Look, the little one in your arms, couldn't that be your biological sister? Was she born secretly by your mother at home?" After saying that, he made eyes at the other people, looking very proud.
