"You don't even know who the other person is, yet you just agreed to their request without knowing it."
Luo Xiaoxue poked Lu Siqiao's forehead and scolded her playfully.
Despite her words, her eyes brimmed with joy; she felt as happy as if she had drunk honey when her daughter was praised.
Lu Mingfeng laughed and said, "He doesn't seem like a bad person to me. We'll see tomorrow."
The family opened the gifts Cai Ming had sent, and they were all high-end items: ginseng, milk powder, malted milk powder, and a box of imported chocolates...
"These things are valuable, let's lock them up first." Luo Xiaoxue was startled and quickly moved the things into the house with Lu Mingfeng and locked them up.
Luo Xiaoxue gave Lu Siqiao a piece of chocolate, but she herself couldn't bear to eat a bite.
"You all have a taste." Lu Siqiao broke the candy into four pieces, and put a small piece in each person's mouth.
Master Lu frowned and said, "Why does this candy taste a bit bitter?"
“Grandpa, chocolate is bitter, just like life, bitter at first but sweet later,” Lu Siqiao said seriously.
Luo Xiaoxue patted her head: "We are able to eat these good things thanks to Qiaowa."
Outside the door, Shao Lihua eagerly led her two children to knock on the door.
The eldest son's family got good stuff, so how could they be left out?
"Grandpa, does Uncle's family have any good food? Can we have some too?" Lu Zhenxing and his sister ran up to Lu Sanye and asked in a spoiled manner.
Lu Xiaowan, with her sharp eyes, noticed the black sugar stains still on the corners of Lu Sanye's mouth and asked excitedly, "Grandpa, what good thing did you eat?"
Master Lu was extremely embarrassed and glanced at Lu Siqiao.
Lu Siqiao hadn't forgotten how her third aunt had slandered her as a jinx a few days ago. With her hands on her hips, she said, "That was a gift from Uncle Cai. My third aunt said I was a jinx. How could you dare to eat something that's supposed to be a jinx?"
Shao Lihua came over and joked, "Qiaowa is quite vengeful. What your aunt said was nonsense. You're too magnanimous to hold a grudge, so please forgive your aunt this time."
Lu Siqiao sneered: "Third Aunt, my mother has been taking medicine for many years, and her body is weak. If she doesn't take good care of herself, how will she get pregnant in the future? You're apologizing and making amends, are you just after my mother's nutritional supplements?"
you do not say.
Shao Lihua's smile froze on the spot.
Lu Zhenxing and his sister wandered into the main room and started rummaging around aimlessly, treating the main room as their own home.
"Lu Siqiao, hand over the food right now, or I'll beat you up!" Lu Zhenxing grabbed Lu Siqiao and threatened, "Eating alone won't make you fat, and you can still eat it all!"
"No, I won't give it to you!" Lu Siqiao burst into tears, pretending to be aggrieved. "You guys are so mean! You snatch food when it's available, but if it's not, you treat us like enemies."
These words caused Luo Xiaoxue's expression to change.
She went into the room, opened the cabinet, took out two chocolates and gave them to Lu Zhenxing and his sister, then said coldly to Shao Lihua, "Qiaowa is right. Why should we share the good things we earned through our own hard work with others?"
To be frank, I'm not sharing any good stuff with you, don't even think about it!
Shao Lihua's expression immediately changed. "What a child says is fine, but you really took it to heart! I was just worried that my uncle might be scammed, so I came to check on him. How did that turn into me asking for something? Don't even mention asking you for it; even if you gave it to me, I wouldn't want it!"
The things she said in a fit of anger shocked even herself.
It's too late to back out now.
Luo Xiaoxue reacted quickly, saying, "So I misunderstood you, sister-in-law. You're so magnanimous, you don't hold a grudge. Is there anything else?"
"Uncle, I think that bald man is definitely not a good person. Be careful, don't let him fool you and help you count the money!" Shao Lihua wished she could slap herself, so she had to change the subject and say hypocritically.
Lu Mingfeng smiled helplessly: "Sister-in-law, thank you for the reminder."
Seeing the cold faces of Luo Xiaoxue and her daughter, Shao Lihua knew she couldn't stay any longer and left with her child in a huff.
"Mom, this stuff is so delicious, I want more!" Lu Zhenxing finished the chocolate in a few bites, licking his lips, still wanting more.
Shao Lihua was furious and scolded, "All you ever do is eat, eat, eat! Don't you see that people don't like us?"
"I want it! I'll go find Grandma!" Lu Zhenxing had never eaten such high-class food before. When he realized he couldn't get it, he thought of Grandma Ruan. She loved him the most and was sure she could get it from his uncle's house.
His words reminded Shao Lihua that if one plan failed, another should be devised. She immediately ran to make a phone call to tip off the culprit.
Lu Siqiao had also thought of that.
To prevent the third branch of the family from coming to ask for things again, she suggested leaving two cans of milk powder for Luo Xiaoxue to help her recover, and exchanging the rest for money.
“Mingfeng, this stuff is very expensive, we can’t afford it. Why don’t we exchange it for some money? It’s almost time for Qiaowa to start school, and we’ll have many expenses.” Luo Xiaoxue discussed with Lu Mingfeng.
Master Lu knew the character of the third son's family and, knowing that the eldest son's family needed money everywhere, naturally agreed.
After Lu Mingfeng agreed, Luo Xiaoxue went to the supply and marketing cooperative to call her older brother, who worked at a food company. People in his company should be able to afford these things.
Fortunately, Qiao Siqiao had the foresight that Liu Hong told Luo Xiaoxue that Shao Lihua had just called Old Lady Ruan to complain, and that the old lady would probably return to the village tomorrow.
Without delay, Luo Xiaoxue didn't even dare to leave the milk powder behind, and asked Lu Mingfeng to quickly deliver the supplements to her elder brother's workplace.
When Lu Mingfeng returned, he used the money he had earned to pay Lu Siqiao's tuition and bought a cow for the family. After all that, the money was almost gone.
A day later, Grandma Ruan returned to Lujia Village with Huang Ling and her two granddaughters.
Shao Lihua couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, giving the eldest son's wife a scathing critique of her behavior.
"As expected, whether they are biological children or not, people's hearts are unfathomable!" Before she could even take a sip of water, Old Mrs. Ruan led Huang Ling and the child to the eldest son's house.
When Lu Siqiao opened the door and saw them, there wasn't much surprise in her eyes.
On the contrary, Huang Ling and the others were shocked by Lu Siqiao's transformation.
The girl who used to be as skinny as a monkey now has a rosy complexion, big, dark eyes, and thick, black braids. She looks like a completely different person.
"Grandma, Second Aunt, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, you've arrived." Lu Siqiao forced a sweet smile and invited them inside.
Hearing her natural address, Huang Ling froze, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She glanced at Luo Xiaoxue not far away, feeling increasingly resentful.
"Hmph, you call me 'second aunt' so easily." She moved closer to Lu Siqiao and saw her body trembling slightly. She whispered, "You brat, once your aunt has a child, your fate will be terrible."
After saying that, she pretended nothing had happened and calmly walked inside.
Lu Siqiao lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Luo Xiaoxue put her arm around her shoulder and gently comforted her.
