Pei Nansheng stood there with a blank face, but he was actually laughing so hard he was about to burst. He loved this little sister so much; every villain needs another villain to torment him.
Ding Fengguo, being an experienced and shrewd man, immediately understood what was going on and stopped Ding Youdao.
“Dad, you just keep spoiling her like this. She doesn’t act like a junior at all. Her behavior is no different from that of a shrew on the street…”
Ding Fengguo glared at his eldest son. "Shrew? Isn't she your son?"
Ding Youdao reluctantly swallowed the rest of his words.
After putting away the bedding, Zuo Ling continued putting away the bathroom items: shampoo, conditioner, skin cream, towels, toothbrush, toothpaste...
Take the new one, don't want the old one.
After getting all the daily necessities, I went to the kitchen and found a few lunchboxes. I packed sweet and sour fish, braised pork ribs, stir-fried bok choy, and shredded pork with eggs into the boxes.
Ding Fengguo and Ding Youdao had just finished eating, and had barely touched their food.
If it moves, Zuo Ling will take it away too, not to eat it, but just to annoy those two old guys.
I packed all the rice to take away, and along the way I found a dozen or so fruits, bamboo shoots, braised pork, canned fish, two packs of grilled sausages, and two boxes of pastries.
After finishing the collection, Zuo Ling said to Ding Fengguo:
“Master, tell your men that if they dare to embezzle any more of my money, whatever they embezzle, I’ll come and take it from you. Aren’t you afraid I’ll empty this place? Let them keep embezzling.”
He snorted, grabbed his things, and left.
Ding Fengguo was alright, but Ding Youdao's face was ashen; he had never seen anyone so presumptuous in front of them.
Just as Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng reached the courtyard gate, a loud noise was heard.
Ding Youdao rushed out the door, shouting, "What's going on? Where's the noise coming from? Where's the noise coming from?"
Ding Fengguo slowed down a few steps, gazing in the direction of the firelight. His cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly. Over there was... the clinic.
A secret passage! Oh no!
Zuo Ling secretly glanced at Pei Nansheng, whose face was solemn and serious, without even a flicker of his brow.
Something was wrong. Ding Youdao remembered his eldest son: "Nansheng, quick, go and see what's going on."
Zuo Ling found it amusing that the person catching the thief was making the thief...go to the crime scene.
Pei Nansheng ran quickly toward the clinic.
Finally, there was someone he could command. Ding Youdao breathed a sigh of relief and glared fiercely at Zuo Ling.
Zuo Lingchong's cheap father smiled brightly, "I love seeing you angry, yet helpless against me."
Ding Youdao felt a rush of blood to his head; he couldn't stand arguing with the rebellious daughter. He flicked his sleeves, turned around, and went back into the house.
Ding Fengguo displayed a dignified and approachable demeanor, smiling kindly.
“It’s not that your father doesn’t want you to live at home. He’s married now, and people always have their own selfish desires. He wants you to live outside so that the family can live in harmony. Come back and visit your grandfather often when you have time, and I’ll have them cook you something delicious.”
That old fox really knows how to win people over.
It's a pity that she's no longer the easily swayed Zuo Ling from her previous life.
"Alright, thank you, patriarch. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Zuo Ling's smile deepened. Acting, after all, is something everyone can do.
Zuo Ling carried large and small bags to the dormitory, made her bed, and Pei Nansheng returned.
Zuo Ling didn't ask any more questions; she could guess that Pei Nansheng must have planted a time bomb at the clinic to cover up the crime.
What she was curious about was, if Pei Nansheng didn't ask her for the bomb, where did his bomb come from?
He stuffed all the food he'd robbed from his cheapskate father into Pei Nansheng's hands. In a good mood, he didn't mind the leftovers and left with a smile.
After a while, Zuo Ling heard the voice of a child next door. It was Pei Nansheng calling Xiao Hao over for a private tutoring session.
Zuo Ling was also a little hungry, so she took two boxes of sushi to eat. The sushi had a mild flavor, so it was not easy for others to notice.
Ding Fengguo is the head of the family, so naturally everything he uses is of the highest quality. His bedding is made from newly fluffed cotton this year, and Zuo Ling even took two thick blankets from him.
It's still cold when I sleep, mainly because the air is so cold that my breath turns to frost – it's no joke.
There were plenty of things for heating in the space, but she didn't take them out. Being in the Ding family's residence, caution was paramount.
I didn't dare take off my clothes to sleep. Sleeping in thermal underwear and a down vest was very uncomfortable, and I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned.
Tonight, many people, like Zuo Ling, are unable to sleep.
