Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

To Lian Rongrong, Xiao Wu was just a six-year-old girl, not Lian Qingwu who killed her.

So when Lian Qingwu appeared in front of her, Lian Rongrong simply smiled and waved, letting her into the room.

"Why are you here? Come and sit down." Lian Rongrong gestured for Xiao Wu to sit down next to her and handed her a piece of chocolate.

Xiao Wu feigned surprise, but never actually opened the chocolate.

"Why aren't you eating?" Lian Rongrong asked curiously.

Xiao Wu tilted her head back and answered obediently, "Such a good thing, I have to save it for my godmother."

Lian Rongrong frowned slightly upon hearing this, then asked, "Is your godmother very good to you?"

Xiao Wu hesitated deliberately for a moment before cautiously answering:

"It was my godmother who saved Xiaowu's life, so naturally my godmother is good to Xiaowu."

Xiao Wu's hesitation and expression seemed to be telling Lian Rongrong that this was not the case, and Lian Rongrong did indeed think so.

She patted Xiao Wu's head with a touch of tenderness, then took out a few pieces of chocolate and stuffed them into Xiao Wu's hand.

"Eat up, Auntie has more."

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, but ultimately left clutching a few pieces of chocolate.

The next morning, before Lian Rongrong had even gotten out of bed, her mother knocked on the door and came in.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Lian's mother rarely came to see Lian Rongrong at this time, after all, the shop was busy and Lian Rongrong always came back to rest very late.

Lian Rongrong's mother was reluctant to disturb her daughter, so she always wished she could sleep a little longer.

Therefore, when Lian's mother appeared in the room at this time today, Lian Rongrong guessed that she must have something to say.

"Mother has something to tell you." Mother Lian sat by Lian Rongrong's bedside, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, still with that kind and benevolent look.

"What is it? Just tell me." Lian Rongrong sat up and looked at her mother.

"It's about your second sister-in-law. You know her personality; she's someone who can't sit still."

Now that he's back, he hasn't rested for a single day. Isn't your shop short-staffed? Your second sister-in-law can go help out."

Lian Rongrong was really surprised that her mother would make such a request, but after calming down and thinking about it, it wasn't unexpected.

After all, her mother had always doted on Wenhui. Although her mother had been angry and annoyed when Lian Xiuyan confessed that Wenhui had stolen the ring.

However, Wenhui's return not only caused the situation to reverse again, but also made her mother feel even more sorry for her daughter-in-law.

However, a mother is a mother, and Lian Rongrong is Lian Rongrong; Lian Rongrong remained skeptical about the ring.

Despite the testimony of her elder brother, Qiu Ju, and Xiao Wu, Lian Rongrong still felt that Lian Xiuyan's behavior during this process was illogical.

"Mother, my second sister-in-law just got back, let her rest properly."

Lian Rongrong knew that she couldn't say anything bad about Wen Hui to her mother now, because her mother wouldn't believe her anyway.

Originally, she only intended to make up an excuse, but then her mother sighed and said to Lian Rongrong with some displeasure:

"Your second sister-in-law had already anticipated that you would refuse, which is why she brought this up with me."

Rongrong, I don't know why you've gotten into a fight with your second sister-in-law.

Your Uncle Wen is incredibly good to your father. Even just for your Uncle Wen's sake, we should treat your second sister-in-law better.

Previously, when Lian Xiuyan falsely accused Wen Hui of taking the ring, Mother was also furious. But now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, why are you still treating your second sister-in-law this way?

Since her mother had already said so much, Lian Rongrong naturally had nothing left to hide.

Lian Rongrong sat up slightly and spoke to her mother in as gentle a tone as possible:

"Mother, do you really think that my second sister-in-law has no problems at all?"

Have you ever considered that, given Lien Hsiu-yen's character, if she really took the ring, could she still hold on in such a life-or-death situation?

Furthermore, think about it carefully. Before this, weren't Second Sister-in-law, Lian Xiuyan, and Wang Yue very close?

Do you know what they were plotting behind the scenes?

The Lian family has never truly had peace over the years. Doesn't the second sister-in-law, who manages the household, bear any responsibility?

Lian Rongrong thought that these words would at least make her mother think, but to her surprise, her mother almost without hesitation defended Wen Hui.

"Your second sister-in-law told me all of this last night. She guessed that you would misunderstand her because of it."

You didn't see how swollen your second sister-in-law's eyes are from crying. Over the years, no one knows better than me how arrogant Lian Xiuyan and her daughter have been.

Even I can't do anything about them, let alone your second sister-in-law. Your second sister-in-law is so young but has already taken charge of the household. What can she do to maintain harmony in the family?

"Of course, we'll try everything we can to reconcile them. You didn't see it at the Tianzhan Bridge, but when Lian Xiuyan bullied me, your second sister-in-law firmly stood by our side."

"Mother, you're too naive. She was only doing it for herself!"

Lian Rongrong was anxious for a moment, and her tone couldn't help but become a little harsh.

Even the mother was slightly angered by this. She suddenly stood up and said in an unfriendly tone:

"When did you become so suspicious? Even if your second sister-in-law can speak, what about your eldest brother? What about Qiuju?"

Qiuju is someone in your room, and your older brother would never lie. Could it be that what they said isn't true?

In my opinion, it's because you have a prejudice against your second sister-in-law. I'll make the decision today; I'll have your second sister-in-law go help out at the shop in a little while.”

After finishing her sentence, Lian's mother turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, she stopped again.

Mother Lian glanced at the milk powder on the table, then turned to Lian Rongrong and asked:

"Do you still have this milk powder?"

Lian Rongrong, not understanding why, answered truthfully, "There's more."

"Then I'll take this. Xiao Wu is so skinny. Didn't you say this stuff is nutritious? Give some to the child too."

It was just a box of milk powder, and Lian Rongrong certainly wouldn't stop her mother, especially since it was for Xiao Wu, which Lian Rongrong was willing to accept.

However, even Rongrong was still very sad. It seemed that everything started to change as soon as Wenhui came back.

The eldest brother and Qiuju were blinded by Wenhui, and even their mother, who had always doted on her, began to show favoritism.

Watching her mother's retreating figure, Lian Rongrong sighed. She knew that the days to come would likely be anything but peaceful.

After her mother left, Lian Rongrong got up. She couldn't sleep anyway, so she figured she might as well go to the shop to prepare.

Yesterday, those thugs caused a ruckus at the shop, and I don't even know what it looks like now.

With a less-than-pleasant mood, Lian Rongrong arrived at Lian Rong's food stall.

As soon as she opened the door, Lian Rongrong saw that the main hall had been cleaned spotlessly, and several waiters were carefully wiping the tables and chairs.

The chefs in the kitchen were also busy preparing ingredients. Although these staff members and chefs had only been here for a short time, it was clear that they had already made this place their second home.

From the moment she opened the shop door, Lian Rongrong swept away the gloom in her heart, because she had secretly decided that no matter what, she would not let Wen Hui defile this pure land.
