Chapter 14

The little girl’s words made Lin Tingwan’s face freeze, and she also felt the hostility of the other two children towards her.

This is just the first time they meet, why are you so hostile to her?

Lu Yunzheng’s face was not very good either. He asked in a serious tone, “Who taught you to say that?”

Seeing his sudden change in expression, the little girl was so scared that her lips pouted and she almost cried.

Lu Zizhou and Lu Zihang, who were standing nearby, also turned pale with fear, and were still very afraid of Lu Yunzheng.

Seeing this, Lin Tingwan quickly squatted down and hugged the child in her arms, tearing open the candy wrapper and coaxing her softly, “Your name is Xinxin, right? You and your uncle are a family, and so are your aunt and uncle. How could a family chase Xinxin away?”

Lu Zixin looked at her with tears in her eyes. This aunt looked so beautiful when she smiled, and her body was fragrant and soft, just like her mother.

Seeing that she was silent, Lin Tingwan stuffed the candy into her mouth, stuffed the remaining candies into her hands, pinched her cheeks, and stood up with a smile.

Lu Yunzheng took Lin Tingwan’s hand and said a little embarrassedly: “I’ll take you to the house first.”

“Okay.” Lin Tingwan followed Lu Yunzheng into the house. It wasn’t that she disliked the three children, but the three children were obviously hostile to her, so she couldn’t rush to establish a good relationship with them.

I used to think that getting along with children was easy, but now it seems that being a good stepmother is a long and arduous journey!

Watching the two of them enter the house, Lu Zihang looked at the candy in Lu Zixin’s mouth and asked eagerly, “Sister, is the candy delicious?”

“It’s delicious. I’ll give you one, second brother.” Lu Zixin opened his palm with a smile, and there were three candies on his palm.

Lu Zihang swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said, “You keep it for yourself, my second brother is not greedy.”

Lu Zixin blinked, lowered her eyes, tore open a candy, put it into Lu Zihang’s mouth, grinned and asked, “Second brother, is it sweet?”

“Sweet, hehe.” Lu Zihang scratched his head, chewing candy in his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing his younger brother and sister being bribed by a piece of candy, Lu Zizhou felt that he had lost his career. He moved his eyes away from their mouths and looked inside the house.

Although this aunt looks nice, weren’t those women also very nice to them in front of his uncle?

But secretly…

When he thought that this woman’s true face would be revealed after his uncle left, Lu Zizhou’s eyes flashed with disgust and his brows deepened.

He will definitely expose this woman’s true identity as soon as possible and will not let his younger brothers and sisters get beaten anymore!

……..

After Lin Tingwan and Lu Yunzheng walked into the house, the layout of the house became clear at a glance.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the main hall. The two rooms on the left are bedrooms for rest. The room on the right by the door is the kitchen. There is also a small room behind the kitchen for temporary storage of some sundries. As for the toilet, in a corner behind the house, a small room is also built there so that it does not have to be an open-air dry toilet.

The entire house has a cement floor and looks spacious and tidy.

Seeing that she seemed satisfied, Lu Yunzheng suggested, “How about we go buy furniture?”

Lin Tingwan thought for a while and nodded. This house was indeed missing a lot of things.

Then Lu Yunzheng took her hand and walked into the house. She asked with doubtful eyes: “Aren’t you going to buy something?”

Lu Yunzheng did not explain. Instead, he took out a box from under the cabinet in the bedroom and handed it to her.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and opened the box.

I didn’t expect that there were scattered bills and a passbook in it.

“I said that after we get married, the financial power will be handed over to me. This is the money I have saved over the years. From now on, when I get my monthly allowance, I will give it to you and you will have full control over it.”

Lin Tingwan was not being pretentious, but out of curiosity, she opened the passbook and took a look at the amount on it. She was shocked at the sight.

It’s exactly ten thousand yuan!

You know, her parents spent most of their lives saving just over 10,000 yuan!

Although Lu Yunzheng is now at the regimental level and earns a little over 100 yuan a month, he started out as a private and worked his way up. So she was very surprised that Lu Yunzheng had been able to save up for so many years.

Lu Yunzheng didn’t think so much, he just didn’t want Lin Tingwan to feel wronged.

Their marriage was hasty to begin with, and he didn’t have time to prepare the betrothal gifts, let alone the three turns and one ring, or several major items needed for a wedding. In the final analysis, he owed Lin Tingwan.

However, Lin Tingwan did not feel indebted. Compared to those objects, the heavy banknotes were more real.

In this era when the average salary is 40 to 50 yuan per person, handing her 10,000 yuan is no different from giving her 1 million yuan directly in the future.

Adding the money her parents gave her, she is now a wealthy woman. It would be strange if she is not happy.

Then he put the passbook in the box, took out the small change and bills inside, and said jokingly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll spend all my money?”

“I will earn money for you in the future. You can spend it however you want.”

Regardless of whether this was true or false, at least Lin Tingwan felt very happy hearing it.

After seeing what the bills could buy, he put the money in his bag, which he actually put into the space, and said softly, “Let’s go, while it’s still early, let’s go buy everything our family needs.”

Our home?!

Looking at her back as she left, the smile in Lu Yunzheng’s eyes became softer. He also had a home of his own.

When the two walked to the yard, Lu Yunzheng patted Lu Zizhou on the shoulder and told him, “Your aunt and I are going to buy some things and will be back soon. Stay at home and don’t walk around.”

“Got it, uncle.” Lu Zizhou responded seriously, just like a little adult.

Because they bought a lot of things, Lu Yunzheng drove a jeep and took Lin Tingwan to the department store.

On the way, Lin Tingwan asked with some concern: “Is it okay to leave those three children at home?”

“The family compound is quite safe, and the three children have gotten used to it in the past six months. Sometimes I am too busy in the army to take care of them, and it is the wives of the soldiers who help take care of them. To be honest, I haven’t taken care of anything except providing them with food and accommodation.”

Speaking of this, Lu Yunzheng also felt a little guilty.

But sometimes, there is nothing we can do.

Lin Tingwan also understood Lu Yunzheng’s difficulties. After all, he was the head of the group and had to deal with too many things every day. Sometimes he might neglect the three children.

Besides, he is a grown man, even if he is careful, he can’t help being careless when taking care of the children.

Especially such a young child, who needs company at the right time, and this is what Lu Yunzheng lacks the most.
