I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Wei Miao was digging the ground energetically until he heard the voices of Wei Ling and others coming from the main room.

He took a deep breath of the wealth that was constantly bubbling up from the ground, crawled out, changed into clean clothes, and cleaned himself up.

"Laba, let's go to school first. You stay at home and look after Weidong. Don't disturb big brother."

Wei Ling gave instructions in a serious manner to Laba, who was silent and just looking at them.

Under Xu Ayu's feeding, the cub is no longer skinny. With flesh on his cheeks, his facial features have become more outstanding.

Wei A whispered, "Could this be the young boy from that rich family who was stranded outside?"

Xu Ayu spat at him, "Don't listen to them talking about all those weird things in the tabloids all day long. There's no such a coincidence."

After listening to what Wei Ling said, Laba's dark eyes were like glass. He met Wei Ling's expectant eyes and nodded noticeably.

Wei Ran rolled his eyes and urged:

"A Ling, Laba can't talk. It would be bad if something happened to him. Why don't we all stay here to take care of Ping Mei and A Dong?"

"Okay, I think Erguo is right, we all should stay." Wei Ping said as she was about to take down the small schoolbag hanging on the wall.

Wei Li saw the three people's excited expressions and reminded them softly:

"You are not afraid of Big Mom's iron grip and Big Dad's nagging, just stay at home."

The three of them shuddered at the same time, and after saying a few words to Laba, they carried their schoolbags and went to school.

"Teacher Li!"

Wei Ling and others met Li Xiaoya who had just returned from outside in the yard, and greeted her with great energy.

Wei Miao was just about to open the door when he heard Li Xiaoya's screams, followed by Wei Dong's crying, and Laba's low animal-like growl.

The moment Wei Miao opened the door, Ali ran out first, and then Li Xiaoya's scream was heard again.

When I came out of the main room, I saw Laba lying on the ground with a slap mark on his face, a shoe print on his chest, and blood at the corner of his mouth. His eyes, which were originally as black as glass, were staring at Li Xiaoya with hatred and ferocity.

Weidong sat on the ground and burst into tears.

In the yard, Ali was licking his paws leisurely, his pair of extremely beautiful cat eyes looked very lazy and unruly.

On the contrary, Li Xiaoya looked as if nothing had happened, covering her thick woolen skirt with a look of pain on her face.

"Xiaoya!"

Wu Ziyang rushed into the yard with an anxious look on his face.

"A big pot."

Wei Dong saw his elder brother, got up and stumbled towards Wei Miao.

Laba was still lying on the ground, making gurgling sounds in his throat and glaring at Li Xiaoya fiercely.

"Xiaoya, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital."

Li Xiaoya, who was hugged by the bruised and swollen Wu Ziyang, froze and said:

"Zi Yang, I, I'm fine. It's just that Laba and Ali suddenly attacked me and I didn't react."

Wu Ziyang looked at her expression carefully and said distressedly:

"Xiaoya, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."

After saying this, his eyes fell on the inconspicuous Laba. The child lying on the ground with blood on his face was shocked for a moment by his fierce eyes. He frowned and said:

"Little brat, your family didn't send this child away? Are you planning to raise him?"

Wei Miao hugged the sobbing Wei Dong and said:

"My mother said he couldn't speak and was sent to a poor children's home, where he was bullied..."

As Wu Ziyang thought about the child's background, his sharp eyes softened a little.

"I think he has been through some kind of trauma. If conditions permit, he should go see a doctor. I know a very good psychiatrist in the French Concession." (Note 1)

"I think it's Miss Li who should see a doctor. She's bleeding from her leg."

Lu Pingsheng's warm voice came from the door. Wu Ziyang turned around to look at him first, and then when he heard his words, he lowered his head to look at Li Xiaoya's legs.

"Xiaoya, what's wrong with your leg?"

Li Xiaoya suppressed the darkness in her eyes and said hesitantly, "Yes, it's Ahri..."

When Ali heard Li Xiaoya talking about her, she turned her head and meowed proudly at them, with a fierce light flashing in her upright pupils.

Wu Ziyang was really a little angry this time, but he held back and said, "Ah Miao, a cat that hurts people cannot be kept."

Wei Miao looked at Ahri licking his paws fearlessly and said to Li Xiaoya:

"Ms. Li, what fragrance are you using?"

Li Xiaoya was slightly stunned, "It's just an ordinary fragrance."

Lu Pingsheng raised his foot and kicked Laba who was baring his teeth. Everyone was surprised by what happened. The child who had been lying on the ground like a bared wild dog suddenly relaxed and became obedient.

Even Wei Miao didn't know when Lu Pingsheng and Laba became so close.

Lu Pingsheng sniffed his nose, frowned and said:

"Floral water? No wonder."

Wei Miao saw that his frowning motion with his two dark eye sockets was very funny and wanted to laugh at him, but after hearing his tone, he changed the subject and asked.

"What's wrong with the toilet water?"

I don't know what Li Xiaoya said to Wu Ziyang, he no longer bothered about letting Li Xiaoya go to the hospital, but looked at Lu Pingsheng and said:

"Yeah, what's wrong with the toilet water?"

Lu Pingsheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and continued:

"The floral water that Miss Li uses should be the latest model of Shuangshu brand, which contains a scented water extracted from nepeta."

Lu Pingsheng bent down, pulled Laba up, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face carefully.

At this moment, the morning sun shone on his purple face, and Wei Miao saw something new in him.

Noticing Wei Miao looking at him, Lu Pingsheng handed the handkerchief in his hand to Laba, letting him wipe it himself. He raised his head and continued:

"It's okay for ordinary people to smell this kind of stuff, but if someone who is emotionally tense smells it, they will easily lose their composure and go crazy. Animals like cats and tigers will eat people if they smell this extremely strong smell."

Wei Miao cooperated by sniffing, "Is Laba always tense?"

Lu Pingsheng said, "Maybe it was the familiar smell or some images deep in his memory that made him lose control."

If Wei Miao didn't know Lu Pingsheng well, he would have thought that he was secretly trying to flatter Li Xiaoya.

What was it about Li Xiaoya that could make Laba go crazy? Although he always liked to follow Xu Ayu in the past, most of the time he would hide in the corner by himself. He had also seen Li Xiaoya.

Wei Miao didn't believe what Lu Pingsheng said about toilet water making people crazy.

Her Ahri was no ordinary cat. She rushed out, obviously to vent her anger on Laba and Weidong.

After all, in Ali's eyes, except Wei Miao, everyone else in this family is his younger brother.

Wei Miao lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. For a moment, the only sound in the huge yard was Wei Dong's sobbing.

"Big pot, it hurts~"

The little fellow with tear marks on his face raised his hand. There were broken skin and stones rubbed into his flesh. It looked painful.

Wei Miao lowered his eyes, blew gently, and imitated Xu Ayu's usual way of coaxing Wei Dong and said:

"Blow it and it won't hurt. I'll give you some biscuits later."

When Weidong heard about food, he grinned.

But he didn’t wash his face when he got up early, and his face was full of tears, making him look like a little kitten.
