Zou Jinglan didn't know that Zhang Zhao's warehouse had been robbed because it was his private warehouse and his original wife didn't have the key, let alone a second wife.
She came here with other purposes. She always felt that since Zhao Letong regained his consciousness, everything went wrong for her. This child was just like her.
This time he brought with him one of Zhang Zhao's daughters, who was also a legitimate daughter and was just fourteen years old. Her name was Zhang Rong, and she was at the right age for marriage.
Mrs. Zhao looked at her malicious face and Zhang Rong's shy look and knew that they had come with bad intentions.
What is your intention in wanting to see your sister-in-law?
Thinking about my sister-in-law's temper, I probably wouldn't suffer any harm, so I put my mind at ease and focused on watching the fun.
Zhao Letong staggered in, his legs not even as high as the door sill, so Shanhu carried him over.
"Tongtong is here. You've grown taller in the past few days. Auntie misses you so much and really wants to take you to stay at my house for a few days.
My sister passed away early, and the child has no mother to love him. How pitiful!
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her face turned black. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. She has always taken care of Letong as her own daughter. Is this a slap in her face?
Zhao Letong said innocently, "Auntie is so nice to me. Can I go to your house?"
She was just worrying that she wouldn't have the chance to go again, and Zou Jinglan was like a sleepy girl, offering her a pillow.
Zou Jinglan said it casually. She just wanted to take care of the child, but Zhao Letong agreed readily, thinking it was an opportunity. If he could fool the child, it would be more convenient for him to visit the Zhao family in the future.
"Of course, auntie would love to have you. This is your cousin, Rongjie'er. Play with Rongjie more, maybe we can become a family."
Mrs. Zhao's face turned black. What family? She is thinking about her two sons. This aunt is really a troublemaker. She is just causing trouble for the men in her family.
"Aren't we a family now? My cousin is family too, right?"
Zhao Letong pretended not to understand. Zou Jinglan smiled and didn't care. "Yes, but we can become closer relatives."
Zhao Letong stopped talking and hugged Zhao Dasao and acted coquettishly to make her feel better.
After eating some snacks and drinking a bowl of almond goat milk, Zhao Letong touched his stomach with satisfaction. It felt so comfortable to be full and satisfied.
"Aunt, please have lunch at home. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."
Zhao Letong said, "I'm going to my aunt's house to play. Didn't my aunt come to pick me up? I want to try the Zhang family's food and see if it's delicious."
Let them eat at their own home, they are so beautiful that they would not even feed the food to the dog.
"Are you really going?"
"Well, of course. I'm bringing some of my nephews along too. Auntie won't mind, right?"
"Won't."
Zou Jinglan's face was stiff. What were those brats doing?
"Okay, I've called someone. Auntie is waiting for me."
The ones who can go out to play are three nephews, three, four and five. They are all under ten years old, at the age when cats and dogs don’t like them. They are so energetic that they are crazy happy to go out to play with their aunt.
The four children sat in the Zhao family's carriage. Zhao Letong made a plan as soon as she got in the car. Her nephews were used to listening to her thoughts, and they all nodded with excited eyes shining.
It's not often that you get the chance to play a prank in broad daylight without getting beaten up.
Zou Jinglan didn't know what kind of ancestors she brought back.
Zhang Zhao was a very hypocritical person. Although he had a lot of money in his private treasury, he lived a very frugal life at home. There was no luxurious decoration, and his family was even a little shabby.
Zhao Letong looked at the house and realized how sinister and vicious this man was, and he couldn't let him stay.
As soon as Zhao Youning's nephews came in, they ran around like crazy. They even bumped into the servants but didn't apologize. They continued to run around wildly, destroying the flowers, trees and grass.
"Auntie, there's a bird's nest on the tree. Let's get the eggs for you."
The laughter of the boys scared the birds in the trees away, and the noise made Zou Jinglan's head buzz with pain.
Zhao Letong smiled and said, "Look how lively your nephews and grandchildren are. You have to make something good for lunch, with more meat.
I like to eat steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, roasted deer tails, and roasted goose..."
Zhao Letong was a little lazy when talking, and he would not talk if he could avoid it, but he did not stutter at all when reading out the names of the dishes. Zou Jinglan's heart was pounding when she heard it. Was this ancestor trying to eat the Zhang family out of money?
"Aunt Zou, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell? Then go and rest. I'm going to play."
Zhao Letong chased them to catch birds and dig earthworms, and the garden was in a mess.
Zhang Rong complained to Zou Jinglan a little: "Look at what they did with all that stuff! They've ruined the few exquisite peonies I worked so hard to grow."
Zou Jinglan was just worried about having no place to vent her anger, so she immediately retorted: "Who am I doing this for? You still want to marry into the Zhao family? Can't you bear this?"
If you are not happy about it, just think that my efforts are in vain. She is just my stepdaughter, and I won't worry about her.
The men in the Zhao family all value friendship and loyalty, and they don't take concubines. They're all pretty, so where can you find such a good marriage?"
Zhang Rong was no pushover. "You wanted to marry into the family, but you didn't manage to do that. My father will take care of my marriage, so you don't need to worry about it."
Zou Jinglan slapped her in the face: "How dare you talk to me like that? I'm your stepmother. Believe it or not, I'll spread the word that you're unfilial the moment I leave the house."
Zhang Rong didn't expect her to hit someone. She cried, "How dare you hit me? My father never even touched me."
"That's your father. Now that I'm your legal mother, I have the right to teach you a lesson. Be polite to me, or I'll marry you to an old widower. Let's see if your father will protect you."
Zhang Rong ran away in anger. Zou Jinglan swung her hands and said, "You little bitch, you dare to contradict me? You deserve to be punished!"
When she turned around, she saw Zhao Letong covering her mouth in shock. "Aunt Zou, you hit someone. That's terrible."
