"Damn it, you just spout false accusations like that?" Luo Yan was furious.
"Wow!..." Luo Yan cried out loudly after finishing her meal.
"Tongtong's big yellow teeth, stinky."
Liu Jingqiu was displeased upon hearing this and glanced at Hua Lixun.
"How dare you talk nonsense like that, child? Who taught you that?"
Luo Yan cried her heart out.
"Daddy won't give money to Yanyan, but he'll give candy to Tongtong..."
This statement sounds like a child rambling incoherently making accusations, but adults understand it immediately.
Liu Jingqiu said she donated most of the money. If that's true, the mother and daughter don't even have enough to eat, so how could they possibly have spare money to buy candy?
Furthermore, An Xiaotong, as Liu Jingqiu's daughter, claims that all of Liu's father's money belongs to her. Isn't this just an attempt to usurp Liu's place?
Furthermore, because Liu Jingqiu adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards An Xiaotong, An Xiaotong rarely brushed her teeth, which is why her teeth were indeed yellow.
Can someone who won't even take care of their own daughter really have the heart to donate to others?
Not only Sun Bailing, but even Luo Shicheng, who trusted Liu Jingqiu implicitly, couldn't help but have doubts.
The little girl seemed like a child throwing a tantrum and crying, but why did every word she said sound like it was directed at her? The more Liu Jingqiu looked at Luo Yan, the more suspicious she became.
"It was An Xiaotong's fault. Auntie apologizes to you on her behalf, okay?"
Liu Jingqiu coaxed Luo Yan, reaching into his pocket to take out a piece of candy and give it to her.
"Auntie will give you candy, don't cry."
Liu Jingqiu gave them fruit hard candies. These candies are very slippery when you put them in your mouth, and especially if a child eats them, they can easily get stuck in their throat if they are bumped or suddenly start crying.
Luo Yan, her face streaked with tears, took the candy while sobbing.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
The child finally stopped crying, and the four adults breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, dig..."
It seems Liu Jingqiu is up to something again. Well then, let's bring it on. Luo Yan handed the candy to Hua Li.
Hua Li had no good impression of Liu Jingqiu, who liked to stir up trouble, and didn't want her daughter to take her candy at all. However, she knew that children don't understand, and if she forcibly threw it away, her daughter would definitely cry.
Hua Li reluctantly thanked Liu Jingqiu, then unwrapped the candy and fed it to Luo Yan.
Luo Yan's eyes were filled with tears, and her little mouth was puffed out with a candy, making her look incredibly cute. Hua Li's heart melted at the sight.
Sun Bailing's impression of Liu Jingqiu worsened after Luo Yan's tearful complaint.
"Comrade Liu Jingqiu, your intention to help comrades in difficulty is good, but that is not a reason for you to take on two jobs at once."
Your job rightfully belongs to Comrade Hua Li. Even her husband has no right to give it away. Therefore, you don't have to return the one hundred yuan subsidy Luo Shicheng gives you each month, but you must return your salary to Comrade Hua Li.
What?! Let her give all her salary to Hua Li? That won't do! Liu Jingqiu almost lost control of her expression.
"What the leader says is true, but I've already donated all my money, and I really can't come up with any more."
"The leader has already helped her so much, how can she keep quiet and expect him to stand up for her?" Hua Li said in a hoarse voice.
"The commander didn't say you had to pay it back right away. If you can't come up with it right now, there's still the monthly allowance for the families of martyrs and soldiers. Just deduct fifteen yuan a month until it covers my salary."
The person who was usually so quiet that she wouldn't say a word suddenly became tough, and Luo Yan clapped her hands and laughed.
Mom is awesome! Keep it up, Mom!
Liu Jingqiu wished he could strangle the talkative Hua Li, but then he heard Sun Bailing say something.
"Comrade Hua Li is right, it's settled then. As for Comrade Liu Jingqiu's work, we'll notify you within three days."
Sun Bailing made the decision, and no matter how dissatisfied Liu Jingqiu was, she had no choice but to accept it.
Hua Li bowed to Sun Bailing, and Luo Yan waved her little hand to say goodbye to Sun Bailing.
Sun Bailing glared at Luo Shicheng, who stood like a wooden stake.
"What, do I have to send someone to go with you to do this?"
Luo Shicheng gave Sun Bailing a military salute, feeling dejected, and walked out the door first.
Hua Li carried Luo Yan and followed behind Luo Shicheng, but Liu Jingqiu suddenly stepped forward and walked to the door, causing Hua Li to stumble.
Luo Yan coughed, and Liu Jingqiu heard it, secretly curving her lips into a smile before turning around and nervously apologizing.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice. I hope you didn't break anything?"
Hua Li had no time to pay attention to Liu Jingqiu's insincere words, and only patted Luo Yan's back lightly.
Luo Yan coughed incessantly as if she were choking, her little face turning red, which frightened Hua Li so much that she started wiping away tears again.
"You brat, you tricked me, I'll make you suffocate!" Liu Jingqiu gloated, reaching out to pry open Luo Yan's mouth.
"Is the child choking? Let me check."
You should never try to remove food stuck in your throat with your fingers; Liu Jingqiu practically wishes she were dead.
Luo Yan coughed suddenly, and the candy in her mouth splattered onto Liu Jingqiu's face, rolling off her face and landing on the white polyester fabric on her chest.
The sugar stains weren't very noticeable, but Liu Jingqiu was worried that they would get dirty over time. She had to use all her strength to control herself and not slap Luo Yan across the face.
Sun Bailing walked over in a few steps and saw that Luo Yan had spat out the candy. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and instructed Hua Li.
"Don't give your child hard candy anymore, it's too dangerous."
Hua Li was also terrified and nodded vigorously with tears streaming down her face.
Luo Shicheng went straight downstairs after leaving the house, completely unaware of what was happening behind him.
Sun Bailing had the driver take Hua Li to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Luo Shicheng got into the passenger seat first.
Hua Li carried Luo Yan and Liu Jingqiu out and could only sit in the back seat of the car.
Hua Li may be weak-willed, but that doesn't mean she's stupid. Liu Jingqiu gave Luo Yan a hard candy first, but then deliberately bumped into her on the way out, causing Luo Yan to get stuck. It was clearly a premeditated murder plot.
Hua Li placed Luo Yan near the car door and protected her like a mother hen guarding her chicks. Her guarded posture caused Luo Shicheng, who was looking at her in the rearview mirror, to frown frequently.
Liu Jingqiu caught a glimpse of it, sniffled, and choked up.
"Comrade Hua Li, I really didn't mean to bump into you. Why are you making such a face, as if I bullied you and your daughter? I won't sit down, I'll just get off and walk, okay?"
As Liu Jingqiu opened the car door to get out, Luo Shicheng called out to stop him.
"It was just an accidental bump, don't be so delicate, Hua Li, apologize."
"Why should I apologize? She bumped into me and almost hurt Luo Yan..."
"Enough!" Luo Shicheng interrupted Hua Li sharply. "I've given you back your job, and I'll give you a hundred every month. You've achieved your goal. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Are you only happy if you keep harping on Comrade Liu Jingqiu's mistakes?"
"I didn't!" Hua Li's tongue got tied when she got angry, and she trembled like a leaf, unable to speak coherently.
Liu Jingqiu wished he could kill Hua Li on the spot.
"Comrade Hua Li, I know you're unhappy that Shi Cheng has taken good care of me, but you can't just falsely accuse me like that! I've already explained, why are you still so relentless? Do you want to drive me to my death before you're satisfied? Waaah..."
