Chapter 14 Naming the Two Children



Lin Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Liu Cuihua and Li Xiuying were finally taken away by Captain Li.

It's really depressing to be in this era! I can't use the good things I have, and I have to endure the humiliation.

If she had not suddenly thought of an idea when she was about to move in, and asked her second sister-in-law Wang Lijuan to help her find Captain Li, she would not have been able to take back the three large tiled houses so quickly.

Although I don't care about these three big tiled houses, I can't help others, and I can't live in the old kitchen before I find a place to settle down!

Lin Yuexi turned around and went back to the house, looking at the simple furnishings inside, thinking about the days to come.

The two children came over timidly, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with their little hands, their eyes full of anxiety.

She leaned over and gently touched the children's heads, whispering to comfort them: "Don't be afraid, mother will not let anyone bully you again in the future."

While it was still early, Lin Yuexi decided to thoroughly check the house.

The original owner had been exploited badly over the years, and her family didn't even have any decent savings. Fortunately, she had stockpiled so much goods when she traveled through time, but she couldn't show them to anyone rashly at the moment, and she had to find some excuses and cover-ups before she could use them.

She dug out some worn-out but mendable clothes and planned to deal with them quietly at night after the children fell asleep.

After a while, the second sister-in-law Wang Lijuan came in quietly, with a concerned look on her face: "Yuexi, you were great today. You beat Li Xiuying so well! If you had done this earlier, how could you have suffered so much?"

Seeing this, Lin Yuexi stood up to greet her and thanked her sincerely: "Second sister-in-law, today it's all thanks to you for being smart and running to call the captain, otherwise I really don't know how this would end."

Wang Lijuan waved her hands and sighed, "We are all family. My sister-in-law and mother went too far in the past, so I can't interfere. If you have any difficulties in the future, just let me know."

As they were talking, Lu Zhendong came over and said, "Third brother's wife! I'm going to let my eldest brother and his sisters move back to the old house. Can you talk to the team leader some other day and ask him not to let your mother-in-law undergo ideological transformation..."

Seeing her father-in-law trying to give in, Lin Yuexi knew that she couldn't go too far for the time being, so she said, "Okay, as long as you can do what you say. And as for the matter of my sister-in-law going to labor camp, if my brother has the same attitude as you, I can also talk to him."

Lu Jianguo, who was about to walk over angrily, heard this. He had originally come to cause trouble for Lin Yuexi, but after hearing what she said, he turned back and thought about it.

I thought to myself, since this bitch said so, I might as well go along with her and forget about sending Xiuying to prison.

Isn't this house just for moving out? As the saying goes, there is life, there is no shortage of firewood. After a while, I can persuade my parents to take this house back.

So he quickly said, "Yuexi! Thank you for forgiving your sister-in-law. I will move out now..."

Wang Lijuan, who was standing nearby, became anxious when she heard this. She thought Lin Yuexi's old habit of being soft-hearted and kind had come back again, so she said anxiously, "Yuexi, you can't do this..."

Seeing that the second son's wife was helping Lin Yuexi to oppose, Lu Zhendong said unhappily, "Second son's wife, what did you say when you and Jianmin separated? You said you would never intervene in our Lu family's affairs again. If you come here to interfere, I will call Jianmin right away..."

When Wang Lijuan heard her father-in-law say this, she no longer dared to say anything.

You know, when the family was divided, it was because he couldn't stand the way their family humiliated Lin Yuexi that he went to great lengths to convince Lu Jianmin and her parents, brother and sister-in-law to separate and live on their own. Moreover, he really said such words at that time.

Lin Yuexi knew what she was worried about. She patted her hands and whispered to her, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what to do. I will never let them bully me again..."

Wang Lijuan was relieved when she heard Lin Yuexi say this, "Okay then! I'll go back first, and you can do whatever you want?"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Lin Yuexi also understood Wang Lijuan's situation. It was already very good that she dared to help herself in this situation. Moreover, during the time when the original owner lived in the kitchen, she was the only one who treated the original owner the same as before. To be honest, without her help, it was unknown whether Lin Yuexi and her son could survive until now.

"Dad, brother, as long as you move out now, I will talk to Captain Li tomorrow and will no longer hold them responsible..." Lin Yuexi said calmly.

"Okay, third daughter-in-law, I will move with your eldest brother now..." After saying that, she left with Li Jianguo without looking back.

Lin Yuexi looked at the departing backs of Lu Zhendong and Lu Jianguo, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

How could she not know what the father and son were planning? They were just lying in wait for the time being, hoping to find an opportunity to counterattack.

But since she had made up her mind to change the family's situation, she had no intention of giving them another chance.

When the room became quiet, she turned around and saw the two children staring at her pitifully.

Only then did she look at the two children carefully. The little ones were malnourished, skinny and small, with patched clothes, and their eyes revealed the cowardice that came from long-term oppression.

Lin Yuexi hugged them in her arms with a distressed look, "My children, you have suffered so much. Mom was wrong before, and I will never do that again in the future."

"Mom, Gou'er thanks you. You were so awesome today. You even made grandpa listen to you..." The boy said to Lin Yuexi with admiration in his eyes.

"Mom, you are so brave. Cat likes her so much today..." The little girl also looked at her with her ears shining.

Dog, cat, Lin Yuexi was stunned!

Why, are these two children just called Cat and Dog, without any formal names? Lin Yuexi tried hard to search through the original owner's memory, but couldn't find it.

"Mom, what's wrong with you!..." Gou'er asked when he saw that something was wrong with Lin Yuexi.

"You are called Dog and Cat, who gave you these names..." Lin Yuexi started to get angry.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Everyone calls us like this all the time. You call us like this too..." the dog explained.

Oh my god! The original owner was too outrageous! This is your own flesh and blood after all, why do you call it that? Don’t you feel sorry for it?

Seeing that Lin Yuexi didn't say anything, the dog and the cat thought she was angry again. They broke free from her arms and said in unison, "Mom, don't be angry. It doesn't matter what you call us, just don't hit us."

As soon as the two kids said this, Lin Yuexi was even more confused! It turned out that the original owner had treated these two kids like this before, beating them when she got angry.

What a sin this young child has committed! Lin Yuexi felt heartbroken.

"My children, I am not angry. I will never hit you again. I will no longer call you dog or cat. I will give you names. From now on, the dog will be called Lu Ziyan! As for the cat, let's call it Lu Xiyun!"
