Chapter 34

Lu Yunzheng hurried to the kitchen and brought out the food.

Lu Zizhou and Lu Zihang, who were standing at the door as punishment, were already starving.

While she was cooking, the two children’s stomachs began to growl.

But without their uncle’s permission, they didn’t dare to move, and even if they did, they wouldn’t have the face to eat the food she cooked.

When Lin Tingwan was holding the little girl and sitting on the chair, she slowly said, “Call them both in.”

Although when she was in the kitchen, she was still thinking that she should just stand in the corner as punishment so that it would teach her a lesson.

But when she saw the two children sweating profusely, she felt a little distressed. It would be bad if the children got sunburned.

Lu Yunzheng also immediately walked to the door and said expressionlessly: “Come in!”

……

When Lu Zizhou and Lu Zihang entered the room, they did not sit down directly, but stood obediently in front of Lu Yunzheng and Lin Tingwan.

Even though they knew they would be scolded, they both had to endure it.

Who made them do something wrong?

But Lu Yunzheng didn’t say a word, he promised to cooperate with Wanwan, so he will focus on cooperation!

Lin Tingwan waved her hand, “You two, come over here.”

Lu Zihang and Lu Zizhou hurriedly walked over, with their heads down, not daring to look at her.

“Are you worried about your sister today?”

Lin Tingwan did not ask the two children to admit their mistakes, but asked them in a gentle voice about their mood today.

Lu Zizhou and Lu Zihang never expected that her first sentence was not a reprimand but a question.

The two nodded in unison, “I thought my sister was sold by you…”

Perhaps because he had been standing outside for too long, Lu Zizhou’s voice was a little hoarse, but he still lowered his head and expressed what was in his mind at the time.

Lu Zihang, who was standing by, was even more afraid of making her angry, so he quickly echoed, “Aunt, it was because that fat aunt said you were going to sell my sister that my brother and I got anxious…”

Lin Tingwan’s eyes flashed. It was indeed Zhao Cuifang’s doing. The two slaps she gave were not enough.

“But what’s the actual situation? Has my sister been sold?”

Hearing her question, the two children shook their heads in unison. Not only did they not sell their sister, they also bought them new schoolbags and new clothes.

Their mother bought the schoolbags for both of them. It has been such a long time and they still don’t have new schoolbags.

“We know we were wrong.”

Lu Zizhou clenched his fists and a hint of shyness flashed in his eyes, but he had done something wrong and he should apologize!

Lin Tingwan raised her eyebrows. She thought that Hanghang would be the first to admit his mistake. After all, Zhou Zhou was more twisted than Hanghang.

“Do you know where you went wrong?”

Lu Zizhou’s eyes flickered slightly, his brows slightly frowned, and he remembered what she said at that time.

He raised his eyes and responded, “We shouldn’t have listened to the fat aunt, and we shouldn’t have slandered you without finding out the actual situation. I’m sorry.”

“Aunt, my brother and I know we were wrong. We will never listen to Fat Aunt’s nonsense again.” Lu Zihang quickly agreed and changed his words to aunt, being very well-behaved.

Lin Tingwan nodded, smiled and praised: “You remembered my words, you are quite smart.”

But before the two of them could feel happy, they heard Lin Tingwan change the subject and said, “However, you still don’t know where you really went wrong, and you don’t know why you believed others so easily.”

“If it was something else, not about my sister, would you still subconsciously think that what Zhao Cuifang said was right?!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of both men changed and their brows furrowed.

The subconscious answer in my heart is: No!

Thinking of this, the two were full of doubts. They didn’t know why they subconsciously believed what the fat aunt said, saying that their sister had been sold.

Lin Tingwan also gave an answer instantly, “That’s because you don’t trust anyone in your heart, including your uncle!”

The two raised their eyes and were about to deny it, but she continued with a smile, “You feel that your aunt won’t like you, that you are a burden, and that she will kick you out sooner or later, so you don’t feel safe or at home.”

“But your uncle is your relative. If he thinks that I won’t treat you well and won’t become a member of your family, will he still bring me back? If you trust your uncle, will you still think that I am an outsider, will you still not believe me and accept me?!”

Both of these children are very smart and think a lot.

It is also because of this that after losing their mother, all they heard were negative voices, so even at Lu Yunzheng’s home, they were very restrained and felt insecure on weekdays.

Coupled with some bad things that happened before, these two children will not be able to accept other people quickly, let alone trust them.

She used to think that as long as she was good enough to the two children, they would naturally feel her sincerity.

But she was wrong. If a person doesn’t trust another person and doesn’t accept another person, then even if you treat him well, what can it change? !

Seeing the two children hanging their heads, as if something had been revealed, Lu Yunzheng on the side also coughed softly.

“Zizhou, Zihang, since your uncle chose to marry your aunt, it must be because she is worthy!”

“Uncle chose to take you in because your father’s new wife treated you badly and was afraid that you would be bullied and feel insecure. Now that I have you by my side, we are all a family and you will always have a place in this family.”

“Uncle and aunt will always be your relatives. Since they are relatives, don’t you also trust your aunt as much as you trust your uncle?!”

“Your aunt bought you so many clothes today, not even a portion for me, but how did you do it? Isn’t it very hurtful?!”

Lin Tingwan originally thought that Lu Yunzheng’s cooperation was very good, but when she heard the last sentence, she felt a little guilty.

It’s not that she didn’t think about buying things for Lu Yunzheng, but there were simply too many things and she couldn’t carry them all with the little girl.

Besides, she didn’t buy it herself, so why would she be picky? !

Lu Zihang listened to his uncle’s words and felt that they were going too far today.

He immediately pouted and whispered, “Aunt, I know I was wrong, and I won’t do that again.”

Lu Zizhou also raised his eyes to look at Lin Tingwan, his eyes trembling slightly, and he apologized a little shyly: “I’m sorry, aunt!”

This call of “Aunt” completely resolved the gap between them and Lin Tingwan.

And Lin Tingwan achieved her goal today.

She had thought wrong before. Now that the two children were willing to accept her and trust had been initially established, how far was it for them to truly become a family? !
