Lin Qingyue had a calm expression, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. This was not a big deal, but her second aunt belittled the three children and made them worthless. If someone didn't know, they would think that she was misleading her to be against the children.
"It's nothing. It's normal for children to be a little naughty." She responded calmly.
The second aunt was shocked and immediately said seriously: "We can't just let this go. Today we put a bucket, but what about tomorrow? The younger the children are, the easier they are to discipline. We need to set rules for them from a young age."
"You will be the child's mother from now on. You have the final say on how to take care of the child."
"Second aunt, you just said that I am the child's stepmother, and the child is not familiar with me yet. It is better to leave the care of the child to Lu Siyi for the time being." Lin Qingyue didn't want to step forward and be the bad guy.
Just by looking at this bucket of water, Lin Qingyue could guess that these three children had something against her and might not recognize her as their mother.
The second aunt opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Qingyue's nonchalant look, it seemed that she really didn't intend to argue with the child, so she shut up tactfully.
It wasn't that she had any problem with Lu Siyi's three adopted sons, but since it was the new daughter-in-law's first visit and something like this had happened, she had to give her a way out.
Moreover, Lu Yicheng was a naughty kid who had played many pranks on her in the past. She also wanted to take this opportunity to establish her prestige as an elder in front of Lu Yicheng.
Thinking of this, the second aunt followed Lin Qingyue downstairs: "This child, he still needs to behave in front of the elders. Our Lu family has never had such a child..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yicheng was seen with tears on his little face. He was standing in the yard with a wronged look on his face. When he saw Lin Qingyue, he raised his little face and snorted proudly. It seemed that he looked down on Lin Qingyue.
Lin Qingyue blinked. Is this the first time they meet that they don’t get along?
As soon as she raised her foot, she was stopped by her second aunt: "Look at me, this is how children should be disciplined!"
The second aunt put her hands on her waist, put on a ferocious expression, walked up to Lu Yicheng, and twisted his ear: "Kid, do you dare to play pranks again? If you make trouble in front of your stepmother, be careful that she will not let you down when you go back!"
Lu Yicheng burst into tears, and fluttered his hands and feet to greet his second aunt: "You are a bad person, a bad guy! You and my father's new wife are in the same group! You all bully me."
Lin Qingyue watched the child's ears become red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her eyes were stern: "Second Aunt, this is still a child, why are you so harsh?"
"Qingyue, see, this child just needs discipline." Second Aunt disagreed.
People in this era believe that beatings can produce filial sons.
Lin Qingyue could see through the character of this second aunt, who was always stirring up trouble and confusing right and wrong in order to create chaos in the world.
"It's just a child's prank. Why should we, as adults, take it so seriously?" Lin Qingyue felt distressed when she saw the child's miserable appearance. She went over to pull her second aunt away, wanting to protect the poor child in her arms.
Who would have thought that Lu Yichen's little hand would push her, causing her to stagger.
"Who asked you to be hypocritical? You are a stepmother, and stepmothers are not good to their children!" After saying that, Lu Yicheng burst into tears.
This child is so deeply prejudiced, and she hasn't done anything yet.
"Qingyue, are you okay?" Second Aunt asked with concern, and poked Lu Yicheng with her hand: "What's wrong with you, kid?"
Lu Yichen had tears in his eyes and looked like a pitiful little thing, feeling aggrieved.
