Yun Mo's mind moved slightly, and a golden bracelet inlaid with rubies appeared on each of her left and right hands.
Yun Mo compared her own bracelet with the one Yun Yao used to frame her. The number of circles and the bracelet bodies of the two bracelets were similar, only the patterns and the number of rubies were different. That was why she was able to get away with it so easily.
“Knock, knock.”
Hearing the knock on the door, Yun Mo immediately put the two gold bracelets into her personal space.
When she opened the door, the person standing outside was the groom, holding food in his hands, and it seemed that he came to bring her food.
"Not eating?"
Seeing her blocking the door, Ling Chuan asked in a deep voice.
Yun Mo quickly shook her head and made way.
Ling Chuan put the food on the wooden table, his eyes paused for a moment on the peanuts and red dates scattered on the bed, then turned to look at her.
"I don't know what your taste is, so I just took some at random."
"Oh, thank you."
Facing the man who had already held a wedding with her, Yun Mo was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground and replied dryly.
Seeing her nervousness and discomfort, Ling Chuan didn't stay any longer.
Although she was very hungry, the food tasted terrible. It was tasteless and full of white fat. Yun Mo reluctantly ate two bites of vegetables and put down her chopsticks.
Just as I was about to go to the bed and grab some peanuts and red dates to satisfy my craving, someone knocked on the door again. This time the knock was very light, as if the person didn't have much strength.
Yun Mo opened the door curiously, and found nothing outside. Just as she was about to close the door, a tiny cry as soft as a mosquito came from her knees.
"Aunt."
Yun Mo lowered her head and found a little girl whose height was just above her knees.
The little girl was holding a bowl of tea with great effort, her glass-like black eyes looking at her timidly.
Yun Mo half squatted down, took the tea bowl from the girl, and asked with a smile: "Is it for me?"
"Um."
"May I have your name?"
"Ling Chunhua."
"Oh, so your name is Chunhua, what a nice name."
Ling Chunhua's face flushed with praise. She pointed at the tea in Yun Mo's hand and said softly, "Uncle gave it to you."
Yun Mo didn't rush to drink, but took Ling Chunhua into the house.
She originally wanted to give Ling Chunhua some candy, but she searched the new house for a long time and couldn't find any. She had no choice but to grab some peanuts and red dates from the bed and give them to Ling Chunhua.
Ling Chunhua was shy at first and refused to take it, but Yun Mo put it directly into her pocket and she whispered thank you.
While Ling Chunhua was peeling peanuts and eating them, Yun Mo dripped some spiritual spring water into the tea bowl.
Well, we must always be on guard against others. Lingquan water can not only prolong life, but also has the effect of detoxifying all kinds of poisons.
Afterwards, Yun Mo drank tea while trying to get information from Ling Chunhua.
"How old are you?"
"Six years old."
"Have you been to school yet?"
Ling Chunhua shook her head.
Although Ling Chunhua was young and quiet, her thoughts and articulation were clear. It didn't take long for Yun Mo to have a general understanding of the Ling family.
The Ling family's parents died early, leaving only two brothers, Ling Jiang and Ling Chuan, in the family.
What surprised Yun Mo was that Ling Chunhua was very well-behaved and put the peanut shells and date pits she ate on the table instead of throwing them all over the floor.
Yun Mo originally had a dislike for the stingy Li Zhenli because of the red envelopes and wedding candies, but now she seems to have a better impression of her.
As someone who has raised such a polite daughter, his own character must not be too bad either.
—
The sun gradually set, the guests dispersed, and with the help of their friendly neighbors, the Ling brothers quickly cleaned up the leftovers.
Ling Jiang took out the red envelopes and wedding handkerchiefs he had prepared in advance, and politely sent the neighbors who had helped him out. When he returned, he saw Aunt Zhou talking to Ling Chuan excitedly.
"…Mr. Yun's secretary came in person and gave our family 800 yuan and 200 kilograms of food coupons. Thank you, Chuanzi, thank you so much."
After Aunt Zhou left with many thanks, Ling Jiang put out the pipe in his hand and walked up to Ling Chuan with a guilty look on his face.
"Chuanzi, I'm sorry for you..."
Ling Chuan raised his hand and patted his eldest brother's shoulder to stop him from saying anything else, "The matter has been resolved. It's okay."

Ling Jiang wiped his face in self-blame and said angrily, "I always remember the kindness that Brother Zhou showed us. When our parents passed away, creditors came to our house every day to collect debts. There was not even a handful of rice bran in the jar. If it weren't for the half basket of sweet potatoes sent by Brother Zhou, we would have starved to death.
He is now seriously ill and cannot work, and the whole family has a problem with food. Brother Zhou found me and asked me to arrange a job for Zhou Xiaowei. I can't refuse, right?"
"We will definitely help Brother Zhou if he is in trouble, but next time you need to discuss this with me first."
Ling Jiang nodded quickly, "I understand. I will never make decisions on my own again."
Speaking of which, Lingchuan and Yunmo's marriage was caused by Zhou Xiaowei.
Ling Chuan is a small contractor with about twenty workers under him. He is currently taking on work for a real estate project developed by the Yun family.
The company and the contractors have long had a rule that the age of workers must not be under 16 years old, which is also the national policy.
Zhou Xiaowei is only 15 years old this year. In order to get Zhou Xiaowei to work on the construction site, Ling Jiang lied that Zhou Xiaowei was already 16 years old.
It was bad luck that Zhou Xiaowei encountered a collapse accident not long after entering the construction site and was seriously injured.
The company is responsible for the accident and according to regulations, it must make appropriate compensation to the injured workers.
After investigation, the person in charge of handling the accident found that Zhou Xiaowei was under the age of 16. Not only did he not get any compensation for his illegal employment, but the foreman Ling Chuan also had to pay a high penalty for breach of contract.
Ling Chuan couldn't come up with the money, so he had to go to the company's boss, Yun Shixian, Yun Mo's adoptive father, to plead for mercy.
At that time, Yun Shixian was worried about his adopted daughter Yun Mo. When he saw Ling Chuan, he suddenly had an idea.
Finally, the two sides negotiated that Ling Chuan would marry Yun Mo, and in exchange, Yun Shixian would not pursue Ling Chuan's illegal employment issues.
"Chuanzi, I don't think the young lady of the Yun family is as unreasonable as the rumors say. Since you have married her, you should live a good life with her in the future.
Women are all the same, they all have their own little flaws, it doesn't matter who you marry, and besides, your sister-in-law is pretty and educated, so we won't suffer any loss, what do you think?"
Thinking of the woman's beautiful face, Ling Chuan's throat rolled slightly, "Brother, I know what's going on."
"Okay, it's getting late. You and your sister-in-law should go wash up and rest early after a tiring day."
—
With Ling Chunhua's company and humor, time passed quickly and the sun was setting.
"Spring flowers!"
Hearing Ling Jiang's shout from next door, Ling Chunhua quickly jumped down from the stool, "Aunt, my dad is calling me."
"Well, go back."
Ling Chunhua didn't move, her glass-like eyes fixed on the peanut shells on the wooden table.
