Several people walked towards the Ling family. On the way, old lady Ling kept holding little Linglong. Little Linglong rarely stuck to Long Sheng, but instead hugged her grandmother's neck tightly.
Even though she didn't know what had just happened, Xiao Linglong felt as if she and her grandmother were almost separated.
That's how it feels.
Fortunately, they were all solved by her grandmother.
Grandma is the best!
Gently touching her granddaughter's fair and tender cheek, Grandma Ling felt the full softness of holding her granddaughter, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Mrs. Ling acted very tough in front of those two people who came out of nowhere, she was actually very nervous in her heart.
She knew very well what would happen to Xiao Linglong if the fortune teller's words were believed by the whole village.
Even if absurd things like arson or pond drowning that happened in the past do not happen, it is inevitable that the whole village will look at them differently, and they will probably be ostracized by the whole village.
That would be a very scary thing.
I can’t imagine what it will become.
Old Mrs. Ling would never allow her little granddaughter to be treated like that!
So she had to be tough.
Fortunately.
It worked.
"Those two damn bastards, if I see them again, I will definitely chop them up with a knife!"
Old Mrs. Ling said this while gritting her teeth.
Old Man Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "Why do these people have to come after the little girl? Do you remember what happened last time in the city?"
Old Man Jin now remembered that the last time he sent Ling Mu to school, Old Lady Ling met a fortune teller in the city who said that there was something wrong with little Ling Long.
It’s still like this now.
It's unbelievable.
Old Madam Ling said, "They must have thought my precious granddaughter was so adorable that they wanted to kidnap her! Humph, I'll see if anyone dares to try this again. If they do, I'll chop them down! Let's see who dares!"
Old Mrs. Ling felt that there was no need to think about it. Her baby was so cute, white and tender, just like a little doll. Everyone who saw her would like her and want to hug and kiss her.
How could those beggars not be tempted by her?
They all pretend to be fortune tellers.
She can fool those fools, but they will definitely not escape her sharp eyes.
Old Man Jin nodded, thinking that what Old Lady Ling said made sense.
And... who knows if they are in the same group?
Could it be that he is an accomplice of the fortune teller from last time, and is using the same trick again this time?
It's not impossible.
"You still have to lock the door at home from now on. Don't let the girl out of your sight, otherwise it will be unsafe."
Old Man Jin reminded seriously.
Hearing this, Old Lady Ling nodded, but she was still a little scared.
"That's exactly what we have to do. Otherwise, if something really happens, I won't be able to survive!"
Old Mrs. Ling knew without a second thought that if little Linglong got lost or something else happened to her, the whole family would be mentally devastated.
Little Linglong is not just an ordinary adopted child, nor is she just her granddaughter. She is the daughter of Ling Hancheng and his wife, and the favorite sister of the Ling brothers.
The most important thing is——
She is the spiritual pillar of their entire family.
So nothing can happen to her.
"Grandma, Long'er is fine~"
Maybe it was because she felt the strong emotions emanating from her grandmother, but little Linglong hugged her grandmother's arms tightly and said cute words with her little mouth, which made people calm down.
When Mrs. Ling heard her granddaughter's comfort, her expression gradually relaxed and softened.
She gently touched Xiao Linglong's hair and nodded: "Well, Long'er is always here, and grandma is always with you. She will never leave you alone."
"Grandma is the best~"
Little Linglong pouted her pink lips and gave her grandmother a big kiss on the face with a "bo" sound.
Long Sheng tilted his head as he watched this scene.
This behavior...seems like an expression of intimacy between humans.
When they arrived at the Ling family, Mrs. Ling asked the children to go into the house to play, gave them candy and snacks, and she and Old Man Jin sat in the yard.
This is the only way to protect the children.
The two people talked about what happened just now.
"I'm really worried. What if this kind of thing keeps happening?"
Old Mrs. Ling said in a low voice.
This kind of thing has happened once or twice. If it happens a third time, Mrs. Ling is afraid that she won't be able to bear it and will do something impulsive again.
Old Man Jin glanced in the direction of the house.
"It's okay. When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. There will always be a way to deal with this kind of thing."
"He's just a fortune teller, looking for trouble. If we really provoke him, we can just tell the town that he's superstitious. We can always solve the problem!"
"I'm afraid I'll be targeted by the beggars..."
There is always a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
He was most afraid that those people were together, so he kept his eyes on Xiao Linglong.
If Xiao Linglong were to be left alone someday...
The consequences would be truly unimaginable.
There is no need to farm or anything like that these days, so Old Lady Ling is not too busy. But it will be the busy farming season soon, and by then it will be time for the autumn harvest. I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of little Linglong as closely as she does now.
Old Mrs. Ling sighed and frowned tightly.
"Yeah, I'm worried about that now too..."
Old Man Jin opened his mouth to say that he had relatively free time, but then he changed his mind and realized that the work he was doing was all messy and the environment was not very good, with wood chips flying everywhere, so it was not suitable to bring Xiao Linglong with him.
"Let's discuss it with Hancheng and the others and see if there's any solution." Old Man Jin said, "We can always think of other ways."
Mrs. Ling: "Yes, I need to think about it carefully."
Old Mrs. Ling lowered her head slightly, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
At this time in the house, Ling Xiaowu was playing, and Xiao Linglong and Long Sheng were playing with building blocks.
Looking at the neatly built house, Xiao Linglong pursed her lips, her eyebrows and mouth corners drooped a little, and she looked a little listless.
Long Sheng: "What's wrong?"
Although he was not very curious about human emotions, Xiao Linglong was the little princess of the Dragon Palace and had only temporarily transformed into a human. He needed to ensure her health.
Xiao Linglong raised her head and looked at Long Sheng, pursing her lips and said, "I feel like I've embarrassed grandma..."
Xiao Linglong now feels listless. She thinks her grandmother seems to be in a very bad mood.
She was really sad.
She didn't want to see her grandmother unhappy.
She wouldn't be happy that way.
