"I don't know, but there is nothing wrong if you pay more attention." Ling Xiaowei said softly.
Wang Juan tapped Ling Xiaowei's forehead and said with a smile: "You, why are you so narrow-minded?"
"Aunt Wang, you are the person I trust most." Ling Xiaowei hugged Wang Juan's arm and said coquettishly.
After hearing what Xiaowei said, Wang Juan was very happy. Being trusted by others was the highest compliment.
After things were arranged in the factory, Ling Xiaowei went back.
The end of the term was not far away, so she had to spend more time studying.
When I got home, I saw Zhang Cuifen sitting in the hut, making rice dumplings. Ming Ming and Xiao Yue were squatting aside, watching attentively. Ming Ming had been wanting to stretch out his hand to make one for himself, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was hit by Zhang Cuifen.
.
For the past month, Zhang Cuifen has been busy at home and taking time to go to the factory. Ever since she fell into the water last time, she has always been a little suspicious.
"Sister is back!" Xiaoyue shouted happily when she saw Ling Xiaowei.
Zhang Cuifen was startled, and Ling Xiaowei saw her whole body shaking.
It seems that the incident last time left a psychological shadow on her, and these days, she always feels that Zhang Cuifen is a little wary of her, as if she is very afraid of her.
She is not doubting herself, right? Although it is a guess, Ling Xiaowei always feels that Zhang Cuifen has changed.
Besides, she was also present that day.
"Aunt Zhang, it's me." Ling Xiaowei walked to the hut, holding her schoolbag in her hand. She saw in the basket on the ground, a pot of glutinous rice, a bowl of candied dates and red beans, and a large bowl of pickled soy sauce.
Meat.
"Aunt Zhang, let me help you wrap the rice dumplings together." Ling Xiaowei actively requested.
She doesn't often do things with Zhang Cuifen, but now she wants to take the initiative to understand and care for her. After so many years, she has let go of the prejudice in her heart, and feels that it is not easy for her.
She is just an ordinary woman who works hard for her children and contributes to her family.
She was like that in her previous life, and she gradually understood that in a life where she could not see the future, no matter how pure-hearted a person was, they would all change, not to mention that the other person was a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
"Aunt Zhang, someone must have pushed you that day!" Ling Xiaowei mentioned the incident where she fell into the water.
Zhang Cuifen made a movement with her hands and looked at Ling Xiaowei, her eyes a little complicated, "How can you be so sure?"
Ling Xiaowei was holding the rice dumpling leaves and wrapping them in the shape of a cone. She saw Zhang Cuifen's look in her eyes and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, you can't be suspicious, I pushed it!"
"No, how is that possible!" In fact, Zhang Cuifen's eyes flashed slightly, deliberately avoiding Ling Xiaowei's eyes.
"If I had pushed it, then I would have suffered a big loss. I spent eight hundred yuan on it!" Ling Xiaowei mocked herself.
When Zhang Cuifen heard that it was eight hundred yuan, she felt really distressed, and then complained to herself, how could she miss Xiaowei like this, "Xiaowei, it was all thanks to you that day, otherwise I would have died too! I will pay you back the eight hundred yuan."
"No, I'm just kidding. Your money and my money are all our family's money. Aunt Zhang, I just want to tell you, don't be afraid. The person who harmed you will definitely be caught. At the same time, don't worry.
, I treat you as a relative, and I will not harm you. But..." Ling Xiaowei's eyes suddenly darkened,
She said to Zhang Cuifen: "Aunt Zhang, has anyone said anything to you recently?"
Zhang Cuifen was quite moved after hearing the first half of Ling Xiaowei's words, but suddenly became nervous after hearing the second half of what she said.
"No, no one said anything to me." Zhang Cuifen marveled in her heart, Xiaowei is really an amazing kid, he can guess all this.
After hesitating for a moment, she said honestly, "Someone told me, my former mother-in-law's sister-in-law, she told me to be careful about you."
As expected, Ling Xiaowei asked calmly: "Why should you be wary of me?"
"Hey, I... I'm really embarrassed to say it." Zhang Cuifen felt a little sad because others said bad things about Xiaowei.
"Aunt Zhang, we are a family. If there is anything we can't say, just say it!" Ling Xiaowei had wrapped a rice dumpling in her hand and looked extremely calm.
Zhang Cuifen was moved when she heard Xiaowei talking about her family. Yes, hadn't she said before that she would stand firmly on Ling Xiaowei's side? She would never change her mind.
"It's like this. My ex-sister-in-law came over and told me to be wary of you. She said that you were too narrow-minded and scheming and that you would treat Ming Ming harshly in the future. She also said that the factory your father built will not last long.
You will take away all the time, and Mingming and I will have nothing. After all, we are outsiders, and Mingming is not your father’s biological child, but you are your father’s biological child.” Zhang Cuifen said it all in one breath, adding something at the end.
She added: "She also said that it was probably you who pushed me into the water."
Ling Xiaowei held a rice dumpling needle in her hand, and then inserted the needle heavily into the rice dumpling.
Zhang Cuifen was so frightened that she refused to say anything. She looked at Ling Xiaowei with an expressionless face. She felt very unsure. This child wouldn't think that she really thought that!
"Xiaowei, I...I swear, I have never thought about it this way. Now I am quite content. I can't control that factory. Let me make it clear that I hope he will go to college and go to the city on his own.
There will be a future." These were her sincere words.
Although she is confused sometimes, she can still understand some things clearly.
Who is her sister-in-law? Does she know that she was not good to her in the past? Now she is currying favor with her just to get more odd jobs. Now she is turning a deaf ear to her. There must be nothing good going on.
"Aunt Zhang, thank you for telling me this. What is your ex-sister-in-law's name?" Ling Xiaowei asked, coming out to sow discord at this time, she had a weird intention.
"My name is Qiao Daping, the eldest in the family." Zhang Cuifen said.
"Your surname is Qiao? You said before that you wanted to introduce a girlfriend to Wang Jian, was she the one who introduced you?" Ling Xiaowei thought of what happened a long time ago.
Zhang Cuifen nodded, "Yes! Qiao Daping said that Qiao Hongmei is her cousin, and their grandfathers are from the same clan. I didn't know that before. How did you know, Xiaowei?"
"You guessed it, both of them have the surname Qiao, right?" Ling Xiaowei said with a smile.
"Yes, you have a good brain." Zhang Cuifen said with a smile.
"Aunt Zhang, anyway, don't believe what others say, lest you fall into their trap." Ling Xiaowei always felt that this Qiao Daping was unkind.
Zhang Cuifen's heart suddenly tightened. She was very nervous. Could it be that she was falling into someone else's trap?
While the two were wrapping rice dumplings, the sound of a tricycle came from outside the house.
"Director, I have heard for a long time that your house is the largest building in our village. Today I finally saw it." Before I saw anyone, I heard a loud voice.
