Zhou Jiao had indeed let go of the Lin family a long time ago, but that didn't mean some people would do the same. She might even be eager to appear in your sight.
Lin Liying appeared at Zhou's house...
It happened just as Miao Lishan came home from get off work, just as Zhou Xiaozheng hadn't returned home yet, and just as Zhang Guoqing walked in with his two young sons...
The timing was very good, neither too early nor too late.
Zhou Jiao, who was upstairs, heard the familiar voice and immediately turned back to her room as she was about to go downstairs. She might as well have spent her time entertaining guests and read a book.
"Sister... I, I..." Lin Liying said to Miao Lishan, then looked at Zhang Guoqing and his three sons with hesitation.
Is this a hint that the four of them, father and son, should avoid suspicion?
Let them, who were once sisters, say some shameful words?
Zhang Guoqing glanced at her and asked Aunt Chen to serve two teas. Of course, this tea was different from that tea. The Zhou family always served coarse tea to their guests. What? How can you say it's so good?
Hehe, there are not many places that can drink tea leaves now, it is already quite high-end.
Didn't you see that every time his father-in-law went to a meeting, he had to bring his own tea, or else he would have to pay 20 mao for tea a night? This is not an exaggeration at all.
Zhang Guoqing wouldn't try to be so rude as to pretend he didn't see the other person's expression. He went upstairs to find his wife. He was going to seek comfort. Did he feel that the guest disliked him?
The three Ping'an brothers, however, sat on the sofa without moving. Their point was, "This is my home. You can talk about it or not. The front door is in front."
Especially Xiao Wuyi curled his lips and turned his back to the other person. Don't think he doesn't know this woman. Everyone knows that she came to the house to help the family.
You offended people as soon as you opened your mouth, you idiot!
Seeing her caring son-in-law forced to retreat upstairs, Miao Lishan looked at Lin Liying with a hint of displeasure. She frowned and pointed at the sofa next to her, "Sit down first."
Lin Liying would read the expressions on her face and sit down without saying a word. As soon as she opened her mouth, she burst into tears, which stunned the three Ping'an brothers who were pretending to read, work, and watch a play.
Liuyi threw the half-sticky empty bullet head on his hand onto the table with a "pop" sound, turned his head to look at Lin Liying, and then continued working on himself.
If it were someone else, they would have said something like "children" or told them to go upstairs and play, but who was Miao Lishan? It was hard to say whether she had the foresight to do that.
Even if she did, she wouldn't be willing to mention her three grandchildren.
In her heart, there are probably no other children in the world who are more talented, smarter, more well-behaved, more caring, and more protective than her three grandsons.
Another point she has always supported is that her three grandchildren were born with good fortune. In her own words:
When Zhou Jiao arrived in the capital with Ping'an in her arms, she brought the news that the man she loved was still alive. When she was most desperate and wanted to commit suicide, it was little Ping'an who held her hand tightly with tears in his eyes.
When she calmed down her grief and felt deeply ashamed that Zhou Xiaozheng had no son to inherit her, the birth of Liuyi and Wuyi suddenly dispelled the rumors against her...
Therefore, the three Ping'an brothers who grew up with her had a status only slightly lower than Zhou Xiaozheng in her heart, so she would never bear to let them suffer any injustice.
In the Zhou family, if you ask who dotes on the three Ping'an brothers the most, apart from her, no one else can rely on the children unconditionally and without principles.
In her words, I can afford it!
——Yes, he earns nearly 300 yuan a month, so he can say this with confidence.
"Don't cry. When the child's grandfather comes back and sees him, he'll be angry again. What's the point of crying? If there was any use, I would have cried myself to death long ago."
Lin Liying wiped away her tears fiercely, "Sister, did you hear what I said? You must help me this time. If you don't help me, I will be dead."
Miao Lishan glared at her unhappily. "It's just a job transfer. Why would you make such a fuss about life or death? If that's what you're saying, those people locked up in the bullpen would have died a long time ago."
"But I was wronged."
Miao Lishan snorted, "You're still being unfair! Have you forgotten that there was a time when you often came to me and told me how great Director Yang was? And asked me to spend more time with her?"
Miao Lishan got angry when she thought about it. "You asked me to go get closer to that woman? Who is she? Her husband has a high position, but mine isn't much lower than his. If I'm not compared to a man, just say I joined the Children's Corps when I was eight years old. Who is she? And you want me to please her? Do I need to please her? You're too nice to her, but did she write to you after she ran away? I'm afraid you still feel sorry for her if she died."
"Sister, I'm doing this for your own good. Who knew it would end up like this?"
Miao Lishan couldn't bear to see her look aggrieved, so she waved her hand and said, "Stop talking. In fact, we both know what you meant. Even if I'm stupid, I know what your original intention was."
Lin Liying stared at her and asked in a deep voice, word by word, "We're sisters, and you really have the heart to watch me die? Don't you care about sisterhood at all?"
"Let's not talk about life or death for now. It's not like I haven't drifted around before." Miao Lishan exhaled. "But you, have you considered our sisterhood first?"
"There are too many things in the past, and I don't want to talk about them. I just want to ask you one thing. When your biological mother was exposed by the Zhou family as having been drugged, were you the first to know?"
Miao Lishan's question stumped Lin Liying.
She told him clearly, "If we were really sisters, how could you have kept it a secret from me? Since I had already made the choice then, why should I keep mentioning sisterhood now?"
The living room was silent for a moment. Even Aunt Chen, who was about to come in, retreated quietly after hearing Miao Lishan's words. If she were to say it, she should have made these things clear long ago.
Wuyi blinked, climbed down from the sofa, picked up the cup and handed it to Miao Lishan, "Grandma, don't be sad. If others wrong you, it's because you are not your biological parent. Look, we three brothers have the same parents, which is good enough."
Miao Lishan took the cup, put it aside, and patted her legs.
"No, I'm older now. Your legs will hurt if you sit on me. My mom said it's because you didn't have the conditions to take good care of yourself when you were young."
Miao Lishan laughed: "You little idiot. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
Wuyi glanced at Lin Liying across from him and shook his head. "We have guests here. Let's wait for my grandfather to come back before we eat. Grandma, let me tell you a story."
Miao Lishan looked at Lin Liying who lowered her head and remained silent. She had no mood to listen to any stories, but the child hugged her arm, and she couldn't bear to refuse, so she smiled and nodded.
"Then listen carefully, I don't tell stories to ordinary people." The chatterbox cleared his throat and said, "Once upon a time, there was a man who raised a flock of sheep.
One morning, he was about to go out to herd his sheep when he discovered one was missing. It turned out there was a hole in the sheep pen, and a wolf had gotten in through the hole during the night and carried the sheep away..."
