Thinking that she would have an exam the day after tomorrow and would definitely not have time to prepare this tomorrow night, Yun Mo hurriedly said, "Let's wait until Friday to buy it. Take some time these two days to go to the Wan family and ask old lady Wan if she has finished eating the sour pork. If she has, bring the jar over and pickle one for old lady Wan as well."

"good."

Ling Chuan and Yun Mo tacitly did not tell their eldest brother Ling Jiang about Li Li's visit, but Ling Jiang still found out from Zhou Xiaowei.

The night he found out, Ling Jiang went to the courtyard and took his daughter Ling Chunhua home.

Seeing the father and daughter return home, Li Li stood at the door of the main hall and sneered at Ling Chunhua, "Oh, are you willing to go back to your own doghouse?"

Ling Jiang signaled to his daughter to carry the things back into the house.

After his daughter returned to the house, Ling Jiang looked at his wife, "Did you go to Chuanzi's house to make trouble again yesterday?"

Li Li had already found an excuse. "I sent Jiale to kindergarten yesterday and ran into Chunhua's teacher. She was urging Chunhua to go to school. I just wanted to bring Chunhua back. I don't know which slutty bitch is talking nonsense!"

No matter how dumb Ling Jiang was, he could tell that his wife was indirectly scolding his sister-in-law Yun Mo. "Xiao Wei told me about this. It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law."

Seeing her husband protecting Yun Mo, Li Li suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Why is Zhou Xiaowei acting like a gossip?"

Ling Jiang stared at his wife coldly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. I have already brought Chunhua back. You should avoid going to Chuanzi and your sister-in-law in the future, otherwise I will not let you off easily!"

"You think I'm happy to go, but there's no gold or silver waiting for me to pick up over there. I don't even want to go if you invite me!"

Seeing that his wife didn't take his words to heart, Ling Jiang couldn't help but say something harsh, "Li Li, I warn you, if you go to Chuanzi's place to cause trouble again, we will get divorced. The Ling family is poor, and I am an incompetent man. I can't stand your repeated torment.

After the divorce, you can go back to your own family and do whatever you want. I will never say a word about it. "

Unlike previous times when he was angry and threatened to divorce, this time Ling Jiang's tone and expression were calm, and the look in his eyes was full of indifference and disappointment, as if he really wanted a divorce.

Li Li felt uneasy and fearful, and for a moment she lost the courage and confidence to talk back.

At this moment, Ling Chunhua put away her luggage and came out of her room.

"dad."

In fact, Ling Chunhua came out of it because she heard her father and mother talking about divorce and she was afraid that her parents would really divorce.

Looking at his daughter, the coldness on Ling Jiang's face disappeared, and he forced a smile, "You must be hungry. Daddy will cook dinner for you. Eat and go to bed early. You will go to kindergarten tomorrow morning."

"Um."

Seeing that her husband spoke harshly to her but was kind to her daughter, Li Li felt angry and jealous.

After her husband went to the kitchen, she glared at her daughter.

Ling Chunhua shrank back when she was glared at and called out "Mom" anxiously.

Li: "Don't call me, I'm not your mother, the one with the surname Yun is your mother, why are you still going home, you're having such a good time living there, you're eating and drinking delicious food every day, but you didn't even open the door when I asked you to, I raised you for nothing, you're really an idiot..."

I wish my aunt was really her mother.

Ling Chunhua thought silently.

There was no water in the water tank, so Ling Jiang took the bucket and prepared to go to the well to get some water. As soon as he reached the kitchen door, he heard his wife scolding his daughter, and his face suddenly darkened.

The next day, after sending his daughter to the kindergarten, Ling Jiang specifically reminded her: "Chunhua, don't rush home after school. Wait for dad to pick you up."

"Um."

Worried that Li Li would mistreat her daughter while he was away, Ling Jiang had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

The midterm exam is not as strict as the unified exam. Everyone sits in their seats to answer the questions, but the desks have to be spaced apart and turned around so that the desk pockets face the podium to prevent cheating.

The examination lasts for three days, with one subject in the morning and one in the afternoon. After the examination, you will need to attend a self-study class, during which you can review the subjects to be tested later and also check answers with your deskmate.

After Yang Huiying checked the answers for two subjects with Yun Mo, she didn't want to check them again.

"I've discovered that comparing answers with a top student like you is simply humiliating and very depressing to one's confidence."

Yun Mo comforted him with a smile, "You can't say that. It's possible that my answer is wrong."

Yang Huiying is very self-aware. "If even you can't do it right, then there is no hope for me."

Yun Mo was speechless. After all, Yang Huiying's grades in all subjects were indeed worse than hers.

At 5 pm, after Li Li picked up her son from the kindergarten, she turned around and went to Duoduo Kindergarten where Ling Chunhua was studying.

Ling Chunhua kept Ling Jiang's words in mind and did not leave with most of her friends after school. Instead, she sat in the classroom and played a woolen rope game with a few friends who also left late.

"Chunhua, your mother is here to pick you up."

After playing for a while, the teacher on duty stood at the classroom door and called her.

Ling Chunhua shook her head at the teacher, "I won't leave. I want to wait for my dad to come."

Although the teacher was puzzled, he still went out and told Li Li what Ling Chunhua meant.

When Li Li heard that her daughter refused to go with her, she became furious and insisted on breaking into the classroom despite the teacher's dissuasion.

Seeing the aggressive Li Li, Ling Chunhua was so scared that her face turned pale.

"Mother……"

Li Li grabbed her arm and dragged her out, slapping Ling Chunhua in the face as she dragged her, "You're a rebellious person. You didn't go home after school. Wait till you get home and see how I deal with you!"

"Mother Chunhua, you can't hit the child..."

Seeing Li Li attacking Ling Chunhua, the teacher hurried forward to dissuade her, but was pushed to the ground by Li Li.

"Get lost, it's none of your business when I discipline my daughter!"

On the way back, Li Li kept beating and scolding Ling Chunhua, regardless of the strange and condemning looks from passers-by.

Ling Chunhua has been sensible and hardworking since she was a child. All the neighbors in the old street like her. When they saw her being beaten and scolded by Li Li, they all spoke out to persuade her.

"Li Li, why are you so angry? Chunhua is so young, and the wound on her head hasn't healed yet. How can she withstand a beating like this? Aren't you afraid of damaging her head?"

"This girl is becoming more and more undisciplined. She has to be taught a lesson before she learns to obey."

Looking at the backs of the mother and her two daughters, several neighbors shook their heads and sighed.

"I've never seen a mother as cruel as her. After all, the baby is her own flesh and blood. How can she not feel sorry for him?"

"This woman is so mean-spirited that she dotes on her son like he's her ancestor. Just wait and see, if she raises her son like this, he will definitely turn out to be a prodigal son."

"Who says it's not true? It's a different era now, and we still insist on the feudal system of favoring boys over girls."

Ling Jiang arrived at the kindergarten at almost 6 o'clock, only to find out that his daughter had been forcibly taken away by Li Li.
