Chapter 214: Li Bao is scared

Qiao Lu was full of fire, her face full of hostility, "Did I hit them?"

"I'll pay if I hit them until they're disabled!" This statement was truly full of malice.

Lin Zhao gave her an elbow.

"The mouth is used to spray dung, what do you need this mouth for!" Her eyes shot out coldness. Children were her reverse scale; whoever touched them would be unlucky.

Qiao Lu's face turned pale.

Seeing that the person in front of her who looked easy to bully was a tough nut to crack, she didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.

She said timidly: "You were the one who spoke to me first..."

"That's also because you almost hit my child!" Song Aunt frowned tightly. "And how are you talking, girl? Your words are too poisonous, my child didn't offend you." Song Aunt frowned.

She looked at Song Yuncheng, her tone reprimanding: "Look at what kind of person you brought back. It's one thing to be impolite and have no sense, but before anything happened... you couldn't tolerate your younger brother, and your heart is bad. Are the two sockets on your head for decoration?"

"If you bring back any more messy people, get out to the dormitory!"

Song Yuncheng glanced at Qiao Lu gloomily, and when he looked at Song Aunt, a flattering smile appeared on his face.

"Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's my eyes that were blind, I didn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

Distinguishing loyalty and treachery, laughing to death.

Song Aunt was also amused, and the anger on her face almost couldn't hold.

"... Get lost." She scolded with a smile.

"Alright!" Song Yuncheng responded, grabbing Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao, "I'm rolling. Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, Uncle will open canned food for you."

Gu Hangbao made a request: "Is there cherry?"

"Yes," Song Yuncheng's smile was bright, "I know you like it, I specifically saved it for you."

Hearing this, Qiao Lu, who was about to leave, was angered into a pufferfish.

She also liked cherry ones. When she asked her boyfriend for them before, he said they were useful and couldn't give them to her. She didn't expect they were for this little brat.

She was so angry!

Qiao Lu turned back, glared fiercely at Song Yuncheng, and strode away, her feet hitting the ground with great force.

Song Aunt stared at Song Yuncheng's back, angry: "Look at what kind of person you brought back! It's really infuriating!!"

Song Yuncheng was very guilty, quickened his pace, and brought the twins back to the room.

It's over, it's over, my ears won't have any peace from now on!!

Xiang Yubao covered his mouth and laughed.

Song Yuncheng felt the vibration from his arm and squinted his eyes at him, "What are you laughing at?"

"Uncle, you're afraid of Great-Aunt!" Xiang Yubao said.

"Aren't you afraid of your mother?" Song Yuncheng retorted. As a son, who isn't afraid of their own mother?

"Not afraid, I like my mother!" Xiang Yubao's brows were full of seriousness.

Song Yuncheng was silent.

Forgot again that these two cubs are mother-blowers...

"Forget I said anything," he said.

The complexity in Xiang Yubao's eyes couldn't be described in words.

"... Alright, whatever Uncle says."

Song Yuncheng found it funny.

What's with talking like a little adult?

Song Uncle just came back and happened to hear his wife's words, "What are you talking about, what's infuriating?"

His tone was full of confusion.

"Ask Song Yuncheng!" Song Aunt said.

Oh my, she even called him by his full name. It seems the problem isn't small.

Song Uncle looked around, "Didn't they say there were distinguished guests at home, where are they?"

"Ask Song Yuncheng!" Song Aunt repeated.

Song Uncle was very confused.

What's the situation?

He looked at Song Yunjin, "Yunjin, what happened?"

Song Yunjin told his father everything he knew, one by one.

Without emotional color, using a narrative tone, almost one hundred percent restoring Qiao Lu's words.

Finally, he stated his position.

"Dad, if my brother marries that person, I'll live in the dormitory, I won't be an eyesore."

Song Uncle's face was stern, "Who said you're an eyesore. You're born to me and your mother. This home always has a place for you to stay. If Song Yuncheng dares to marry those messy people without your mother's and my consent, you don't need to say it, he'll have to roll."

What's the problem? He gets married himself, and the rhythm of the whole family's life has to change. There's no such thing.

Song Yunjin was really afraid his brother's brain was poisoned and he would insist on marrying that girlfriend, making him have no place to stay in this home, and also ending their brotherly relationship.

Hearing his father's words, the teenager who hadn't entered society yet breathed a sigh of relief.

His voice was muffled, "Dad, I don't like that female comrade, she's impolite and a troublemaker. If my brother marries her, our family won't have any peace in the future."

Lin Zhao patted Yunjin's back, "Yuncheng has already broken up with that female comrade, I see he's serious, don't mention this in the future."

Yunjin muttered: "Who knows if it's true or false."

The house wasn't soundproof, Song Yuncheng naturally could hear this, pushed the door out, and said seriously: "It's true, broken up means broken up, how could it be false!"

It was just dating, if it's not suitable, why can't they break up? Besides, Qiao Lu agreed, he and she have nothing to do with each other, and in the future, they'll just be ordinary comrades.

Yunjin didn't say anything more, pursed his lips lightly, his eyes looking at his brother with worry.

"Brother, do you feel uncomfortable in your heart?"

Song Yuncheng didn't know how to say it, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's definitely a little uncomfortable. After all, I spent so much energy and money, and when I was dating... I was aiming for marriage. Saying I'm not uncomfortable is lying."

"But not suitable is not suitable. Before taking the next step, stopping the loss in time is good for me and good for her."

He was very rational and wouldn't regard personal feelings as more important than anything else. In life, there are many more precious things, such as his parents, Yunjin, Zhaozhao sister, and the four cubs...

Originally, dating Qiao Lu was because he was at the age to talk about marriage, and another reason was that Qiao Lu's appearance and conditions were quite suitable for him.

Actually, when visiting the Qiao family before, Song Yuncheng felt vaguely uncomfortable, thought he was overthinking, and didn't take it to heart. Today Qiao Lu came and showed excessive possessiveness toward his parents' house, and then he felt that he and the Qiao family weren't on the same path.

"Brother..." Yunjin didn't know what to say.

"Alright," Song Yuncheng interrupted him, "It's nothing."

Song Uncle said: "Don't talk about this, let Yuncheng solve his own affairs."

Song Aunt said to Yunjin: "You're only a few years old, don't worry about so much. Your brother is an adult, he knows what should be done and what shouldn't be done."

While speaking, she slanted her eyes at Song Yuncheng.

Song Yuncheng: "..."

Dating a girlfriend, almost becoming a lonely person.

He looked at Lin Zhao, who was watching the fun, for help.

Sister, stop watching, say something, save your younger brother.

Lin Zhao met Yuncheng's pitiful face, her voice light and slow, "Uncle, Aunt, Third Brother mailed a package, I'm borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, sending some to you, hurry up and take a look."

She greeted Yunjin to open the cloth bag she brought.

High-quality red dates, honey, and a blanket with a good-looking pattern...

"These are all good things," Song Aunt touched them, "Why bring them all over? It would be better to keep them for yourself. You and Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao can eat these dates, give the honey to your parents, this blanket..."

Her words paused, she really liked it in her heart, and didn't act polite with Lin Zhao, saying directly: "I like this blanket."

"I knew Aunt would like it," Lin Zhao smiled.

Aunt liked things with bright colors the most. This blanket had many colors, and the color matching was beautiful. Of course, she liked it.

"Third Brother definitely wouldn't forget to mail dates and honey to my parents, Aunt, don't worry, just keep them. Third Brother mailed me so much, he definitely had the intention of letting me pass some to you, he was too lazy to divide them, so he just mailed them all to me."

The facts were just as Lin Zhao thought.

Lin Shifan was afraid of trouble, stuffed everything for the uncle's family into the cloth bag, and mailed it to his own sister.

Song Uncle felt warm in his heart, "Alright, we'll accept it, the filial piety of our own nephew, what can't we accept."

"Exactly, exactly," Lin Zhao said repeatedly.

Song Aunt didn't say anything annoying anymore, glared at her, and put the things into the cabinet.

"Why bring meat over, what do you want to eat?" she asked.

With one glance, Song Aunt knew Zhaozhao wanted to order food.

"Sweet and sour pork!" Lin Zhao's tone was light.

Song Aunt: "I'll make it for you."

After speaking, she pulled Song Yuncheng to help.

Before leaving the room, she said to Lin Zhao: "Zhaozhao, you rest, Yuncheng will help me today."

It was also because she was too indulgent, he dared to bring a female comrade home without saying a word, it was really asking for a beating.

"Alright," Lin Zhao didn't act polite, slumped on the sofa, and narrowed her eyes to rest.

Song Uncle smiled, took out the sugar-roasted chestnuts he brought back from his briefcase, opened the seal, and the soft, sweet fragrance drifted out.

"Sugar-roasted chestnuts!" Lin Zhao opened her eyes abruptly, her tone happy.

Her favorite snack when she was in school, Uncle bought them for her every year at this time.

"Yes, knowing you love to eat them, I bought them for you while I was at it," Song Uncle's eyes were doting.

He originally planned to let Yuncheng send them to his sister, but didn't expect Zhaozhao to come just right.

"Thank you, Uncle," Lin Zhao smiled like a flower, ate two, and greeted her twin sons to eat.

The two cubs ate sugar-roasted chestnuts for the first time, and the sweet, sticky texture made them narrow their eyes.

"Delicious."

Song Uncle reminded: "Delicious doesn't mean you can eat too many, there's meat to eat soon, the sweet and sour pork your great-aunt makes is delicious, you'll want to eat it a second time after eating it once."

Gu Hangbao was a clever ghost, understanding that sugar-roasted chestnuts could be kept, while sweet and sour pork was rare.

He only ate two to taste the flavor and then stopped.

He patted his little belly, "I'm keeping my belly empty."

"Very smart," Song Uncle praised, "After eating, take the sugar-roasted chestnuts back and eat them slowly."

"Alright!" Gu Hangbao responded happily, "Thank you, Great-Uncle."

Xiang Yubao leaned his body next to Song Uncle, saying softly: "Thank you, Great-Uncle."

"Why be polite with me," Song Uncle laughed and ruffled their hair.

The two cubs laughed hehe.

Xiang Yubao finished the chestnut in his hand slowly, looked at Lin Zhao: "Mom, can Li Bao eat chestnuts?"

"Yes."

"Can I save some for him?" Xiang Yubao asked embarrassedly, and explained: "Li Bao is sick, his appetite isn't good, he can't eat anything, Grandma said he lost two jin."

Lin Zhao frowned, "Li Bao still isn't better? How long has it been."

Xiang Yubao's brows were full of worry, "Still not better, Grandma said he's still coughing, his throat hurts, it hurts so much he can't eat anything."

"If he can't get better, he has to go to the hospital," Lin Zhao said.

Gu Hangbao's voice was loud, "Li Bao doesn't want to, he's afraid of injections. Grandma said she would take him to the hospital, he was so scared he ran back to the room and cried, cried until his throat was hoarse, and in the end, he didn't go."

Lin Zhao pinched her brows, "This won't do. How can you not go to the hospital if you're sick and not getting better? The illness will only get more serious if you drag it out."

The twins started school, but their good brother Li Bao didn't go with them, all because Li Bao was sick, suddenly had a fever, was so sick he couldn't get up, so he fell behind.

"Grandma said the same thing," Xiang Yubao said, "But Li Bao is scared."

Lin Zhao knew why Li Bao was scared. He and his parents went to the hospital to see Gu Chan's family and met a patient who was screaming miserably, which scared the child.

"Even if you're scared, you have to get treated, how can you not treat it."

Gu Hangbao was full of conflict, "I'll go back and persuade him."

Lin Zhao said: "I'll go back with you, I have something to tell your eldest aunt and second aunt."

Gu Hangbao's mouth was fast, "What is it?"

"About the matchbox business, do you want to listen, Gu Gu Hangbao?" Lin Zhao's eyes were helpless, curiosity was too strong.

Gu Hangbao shook his head hurriedly, "Don't want to, don't want to."

After speaking, he went to stick to Yunjin.

Song Yunjin: What a worldly little guy! Sticks to him when there's something, stays far away when there's nothing.

After eating, Lin Zhao left the Song family with the two cubs.

On the way home, they met the Diao family.

Diao Tuozi's second son saw them, was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.

He bowed to Lin Zhao.

"... I'm sorry."

"About Qian Bao's matter, it was my father's fault, I apologize to you on his behalf, I'm sorry."

Lin Zhao thought he was going to do something, took the two cubs back a few steps, heard the apology, and complexity flashed in her eyes.

"Where is your father?" she asked one more question.

Grief appeared on the young man's face, his voice trembling, "... My father is gone."

His father starved to death.

He had that kind of crime on his body, was locked inside, had one meal and was hungry for the next, was forgotten by the person on duty, and in the end...

Thinking of his father's sunken appearance, tears appeared in Diao's second son's eyes.

No matter how wrong his father was, he was good to them, he must be in pain.

Lin Zhao was silent.

People are dead, things before death are wiped clean, and her resentment is gone.

"What are your plans?" Lin Zhao looked at the Diao family not far away.

"We plan to go build the frontier," Diao's second son said.

They planned to do something meaningful to atone for his father's sins, so that his father wouldn't be at peace below.

Lin Zhao nodded, "A good decision."

Diao's second son smiled, walked toward his family, put on his backpack, and left without looking back.

After this departure, I'm afraid they will never come back.

Lin Zhao saw the twins had questions to ask, smiled and said: "Want to ask something, ask."

"What does gone mean?" Xiang Yubao asked.

Gu Hangbao followed closely: "Where is the frontier?"

Lin Zhao explained to the little brothers in words they could understand.

While talking, the mother and three children returned home.

Lin Zhao pushed out the bicycle, locked the gate, and carried the two cubs back to the Fengshou Brigade.

After seeing Qian Bao and Yao Bao, they went to the Gu family's eldest house.

Huang Xiulan saw Lin Zhao, her tired face brightened, "Third sister-in-law."

"Eldest sister-in-law." Lin Zhao looked at her eldest sister-in-law's yellow and thin face, the darkness under her eyes, and frowned, "Eldest sister-in-law, how many days haven't you slept? The bags under your eyes are almost hanging to the ground."

Huang Xiulan touched her eyes, smiled bitterly, and said: "Third sister-in-law, do you have meat there? If you do, give me a few liang."

"Li Bao doesn't have an appetite for anything, I think he loves meat, if I make meat, he might be able to eat it."

Lin Zhao: "Yes. Didn't you say Li Bao's throat still hurts? Don't make it too complicated, how about making him a vegetable and lean meat porridge, it's healthy and tastes good." ===== CHAPTER 215 =====
