Then, seeing her daughter, whom she had called for a long time without getting a response, rush towards Lu Ying and sweetly call out, "Mommy!"
Liu Fengming's expression completely betrayed his rage.
He looked directly at the little girl in the woman's arms and said in a gentle tone, "Jingjing, don't you miss your dad?"
"Dad is going back to see Grandpa and Grandma in a few days. Would you like to come back with Dad?"
The little girl wasn't afraid. She looked directly at the man and said in a childish voice, "No, Grandpa doesn't like me. I don't want to go back!"
Lu Ying knew that Old Man Liu favored boys over girls. When she brought Lu Chuqing, who was less than a year old, to the Liu family, the old man already knew it was a girl and didn't even look at her.
It was only after Lu Ying repeatedly forced a smile and said that Lu Chuqing looked like Liu Fengming that the old man finally glanced at her, but then immediately said, "What's the use of looking alike? She's not a boy!"
Since then, Lu Ying has never taken Lu Chuqing to the Liu family again.
If Liu Fengming hadn't insisted on taking Xiaotuanzi home for the New Year, she would never have wanted to step into that place again.
I thought Lu Chuqing was too naive to understand the difference in treatment, but I didn't expect the little dumpling to be so clear-headed.
Hearing what the little dumpling said, Liu Fengming's face darkened even more, but he forced a smile and said, "How could Jingjing say that? Grandpa likes Jingjing very much and keeps calling to say he misses her!"
Lu Chuqing hugged Lu Ying tightly and shouted back, "My name isn't Jingjing, and I'm not going with you. Grandpa won't call to say he misses me. Every time I go back and bring something, he takes it and gives it to my younger brother. I don't want to go back!"
The little dumpling wasn't lying; she remembered something very clearly.
Back then, she had a golden piggy bank, which Lu Ying bought for her so that she could save any money she couldn't spend in it, saying that when she grew up, there would be lots and lots of money in it.
In her previous life, she followed Liu Fengming back to the Liu family. Because the two families were not in the same province and the journey was long, Liu Fengming did not allow her to bring many things and threw them away. The piggy bank was the only important thing she kept.
She had kept it by her bedside before, and after arriving at the Liu family home, since she couldn't see Lu Ying, she slept with it every night.
Two days later, she couldn't find her piggy bank anywhere.
When asked, Liu Fengming half-heartedly said he had found someone for him, but he had spent the whole day with his friends and hadn't remembered anything about it.
She cried and went to ask the man to help her look for it again. Annoyed by his persistent nagging, Liu Fengming finally went to look for it.
She slept with Old Lady Liu at that time, in a tiny bed that was so small. They searched everywhere but couldn't find it, so Liu Fengming asked his parents if they had seen it.
As a result, Old Man Liu revealed a fierce and murderous face. Without even looking at Liu Fengming, he glared directly at Lu Chuqing, who was still Liu Jing at the time, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"So what if I took it!"
"A little brat who hasn't even had a penis yet is taking so much money! What a good-for-nothing spendthrift!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than her two-year-old brother from Fourth Aunt's family came running over, carrying a small golden pig in his arms and calling out, "Grandpa! Grandpa!"
Old Liu's face immediately lit up with a smile.
Finally, Liu Fengming tried to appease her by saying that her younger brother could play with the piggy bank, and he would give it back to her when he was done playing with it. He told her to be obedient, or he would abandon her.
She cried very sadly at that time, saying that those were her things, and how could her grandfather take her things and give them to her younger brother without saying a word?
Then Liu Fengming became impatient and yelled fiercely, "If you cry again, I'll throw you out!"
She was terrified and could only suppress her grievances, anxiously waiting for her younger brother to finish playing with the game before returning it to her.
As a result, she didn't get to see the other person finish playing around.
A two-year-old child tripped and fell, and the ceramic piggy bank shattered into pieces.
She always remembered those fragments.
It's as if she still remembers the abuse she suffered at the hands of Old Man Liu in her past life.
How could she possibly go back to the Liu family?
Ignoring Liu Fengming's increasingly ferocious expression, her voice grew even clearer and brighter, "Grandpa doesn't like me at all. He always says I'm a girl and that he's biased towards my younger brother. I don't want to go back with you and suffer!"
As she spoke, she nestled into Lu Ying's arms, her lips slightly pursed, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Anyone who sees this would feel incredibly wronged, and their heart would ache.
Cai Min stopped being polite and directly asked the guest to leave, saying, "You can go now. Even a little child can tell right from wrong, so don't make the child suffer any more."
Being a woman, Cai Min's tone wasn't too harsh; she was practically persuading the man to leave on his own, which was a way of giving him face.
But Liu Fengming was a scoundrel at heart, and he refused to accept any face given to him, bypassing Cai Min and heading straight for Lu Ying.
He also knew that there were no men at the Lu family home at the moment, and he didn't care about Lu Chengyang, that half-grown boy. If he wanted to forcibly take Lu Chuqing away, even the women couldn't stop him.
Sensing his intentions, the group became alert. Lu Ying hugged Lu Chuqing tightly and retreated into the courtyard, while Cai Min and Chai Shuhua stepped forward to stop her. Lu Chengyang then ran out to find Lu Yongkang.
"Jingjing, come with Daddy. Daddy bought you your favorite cake. Let's go home to see Grandpa and Grandma!"
The man's expression was starting to get out of control; his face was contorted as he spoke, which Lu Chuqing found utterly bizarre.
Lu Ying hugged her and glared at Liu Fengming, warning him, "Liu Fengming, I have custody of Qingqing. If you try to take Qingqing away by force, I can sue you!"
The man seemed not to hear her, and looked at Lu Chuqing with a stiff smile, "Jingjing, why aren't you talking to your father?"
"Don't you love your dad the most? You're always saying you miss your dad and want to see him."
"Dad will take you home now, back to our Liu family's home."
With that, the man shoved Cai Min aside and rushed toward Lu Ying behind him.
The old woman was staggered and fell to the ground when Liu Fengming pushed her so hard. Her entire tailbone hurt, and she couldn't help but cry out "Ouch!"
