Chapter 25

When Lin Tingwan heard this, she turned around and sneered, “Why? Are you jealous?!”

“I’m telling you from my own experience that raising a child is very expensive, you have to spend it with ease.” Zhao Cuifang said, and suddenly realized, “That’s not right, those children are not your own, and I’m afraid you don’t really want to raise them.”

“Who knows, maybe one day he will send the three children away with just a whisper.”

As she spoke, Zhao Cuifang’s face was full of pride. She put her hands on her hips and looked at Lin Tingwan sarcastically.

He slandered her again and again, and really treated her as a soft persimmon.

Lin Tingwan’s face darkened and she said in a cold voice, “You keep saying you want to send the child away. Have you ever been a stepmother to someone else and sent someone else’s child away, or are you the one who was sent away by the stepmother?”

“You keep trying to sow discord between our family members. After all, my man is a group leader. If there are any problems, the leaders above will criticize him. It’s not your turn to make irresponsible remarks here.”

“Besides, how does it bother you that I spend my family’s money? If you want to buy something, just go and line up. The salesperson is working diligently to serve everyone, but you are here to make trouble. Aren’t you too selfish?”

Lin Tingwan’s words not only touched the salesperson’s heart, but also touched the hearts of the people queuing behind her.

Everyone agreed, “First come, first served is the way to buy things. Why do you care what other people buy?!”

“That’s right. How much time do you have to waste by talking about your wife?”

“If you want to buy something, queue up. If you don’t want to buy anything, get out. I don’t know which man is unlucky enough to marry such a unreasonable wife.”

“…………”

Everyone was talking at once, and their spit was enough to drown Zhao Cuifang.

Seeing that he couldn’t buy the meat and was also covered in a fishy mess, he left with a sentence, “If you don’t want to buy it, then don’t buy it. Who wants it?” and left as if escaping.

After Zhao Cuifang left, someone said, “You think other people’s children are a burden and don’t want to be a stepmother. What were you thinking when you got married?”

Lin Tingwan then understood why Zhao Cuifang had repeatedly instilled wrong ideas into Zizhou’s three children. It turned out that she was right.

But who can say for sure about blood ties?

Sometimes biological children are not as good as those adopted ones…

After coming out of the supply and marketing station, Lin Tingwan was holding a bunch of things in her hands.

In addition to the onions, ginger and garlic used for daily cooking, I also bought some eggs and various vegetables, and did not forget to buy the milk candy that I promised to buy for the little girl.

She also didn’t expect that she could buy rice and flour in this supply and marketing cooperative. Although the purchase limit was three kilograms per person, it was much more convenient than buying them at the grain store in the city.

Most importantly, she bought seeds of all the vegetables she wanted.

There is a lot of open space in her yard, it would be a pity not to grow some vegetables. And she has such a large open space in her space, I don’t know if the food grown in the space will taste better.

So she simply bought some more seeds and planned to plant them in the yard and in the space.

But she bought so many things and only spent about ten dollars.

You know, a cup of milk tea in later generations costs more than ten yuan.

The prices were so high that she almost cried.

She also deeply realized how huge the money her parents and Lu Yunzheng gave her was!

With infinite emotion in her heart, Lin Tingwan quickly walked back to the family compound.

The sun was getting stronger as it approached noon. Lin Tingwan was sweating profusely after carrying so many things all the way.

There were really too many people on the road, and she didn’t dare to use the space at all.

If I had known this earlier, I would have let Lu Yunzheng come with her.

When she reached the gate of the yard, she saw Lu Zizhou sweeping the yard with a broom, while Lu Zihang and the little girl were playing wildly in the yard.

Seeing her come back, the little girl immediately let go of Lu Zihang’s hand and ran to her.

“Aunt, you’re back.”

Lu Zihang was looking at what she was holding in her hand, his eyes almost popping out.

He thought that the woman was lying when she promised to buy candy for his sister, but he didn’t expect that she really bought it and bought a big bag of it.

Does that mean he has a share of it too?

Lin Tingwan really couldn’t bring herself to touch the little girl, so she could only smile and ask softly, “Xinxin, are you tired? Did you drink water this morning?”

“Not tired.” The little girl shook her head happily and stretched out her hand to help, “Aunt, Xinxin will help you.”

“Xinxin is so good, but auntie can do it by herself.” She had too many things in her hands and couldn’t spare one for the little girl, so she simply took them into the house herself.

Lin Tingwan put the candy on the table and took the rest of the things to the kitchen.

Lu Zihang stood in the yard and approached Lu Zizhou and whispered, “Brother, that woman bought a lot of candies.”

Lu Zizhou lowered his eyes slightly and continued to sweep the floor with a stern face, “It’s not for you to eat.”

However, the woman promised to give the younger sister the candy, and he would not refuse to eat it as long as it could be given to the younger sister.

Lu Zihang standing by also swallowed his saliva and said nothing.

After Lin Tingwan had packed up all her things, she walked to the hall and sat down.

Then he opened the bag of candy on the table, took out three candies and handed them to the little girl.

“From now on, you and your brothers can eat candy every day, but you can only eat two pieces a day. You must rinse your mouth after eating the candy, otherwise your teeth will get worms, which is very painful.”

“Will it get worms?” The little girl covered her mouth and said with fear in her eyes, “Then Xinxin won’t eat it.”

Seeing her like this, Lin Tingwan smiled and said, “You won’t grow if you don’t eat more.”

“Really?”

“Of course, auntie wouldn’t lie to Xinxin.”

The little girl then reached out to take the candy and said happily, “Then I’ll go tell my brother.” Then she trotted out step by step.

The little girl brought the candy to the two people and repeated Lin Tingwan’s words. Lu Zihang also showed the same expression, and then he ate the candy happily.

At first, Lu Zizhou shook his head and refused. If the little girl hadn’t forced a piece into his mouth, he would have stubbornly refused to eat it.

Lin Tingwan saw this scene and found it very interesting.

Except for the little girl, those two children were defensive but had good intentions; they just felt insecure.

As long as she treats the three children better, she believes that one day, these two little ones will truly accept her and depend on her like Xinxin.

The thought of not having to go through the pain of childbirth brought me three lovely little babies.

Lin Tingwan suddenly became full of expectations for her future life.
