Three hundred fifty-three

ut on hold.He Ya is a smart woman, and she has a team of very intelligent women behind her, so she quickly changed her battle strategy. Upon learning that Rong Ling had been attacked, she came to visi...Xiaoyouyou tugged at Rong Ling's arm, giving him a playful squeeze and wink. Rong Ling understood and led the little one to his small room. Lin Meng was curious, glancing at the father-son duo, but politely showed respect for their privacy, refraining from prying deeper.

After the father and son entered the room, the little boy blinked his eyes and asked him in confusion. "Daddy, why do we have to move out Isn't it good to live where we used to live Youyou likes where we used to live."

There's a big lawn there where he can roll around, and it's very open so he won't feel cramped. Most importantly, he still has lots of good stuff in his old house, Mommy didn't bring any of it out!

Rong Ling crouched down, rubbed the little guy's head, and said nothing.

"Why is that, Daddy!" the little one continued to ask.

"That's adults' business, kids shouldn't ask!"

The little guy immediately frowned and snorted. “Daddy is mean, you can’t exclude me just because I’m a child!”

After finishing her words, she glared at Rong Ling. Her dark and bright eyes shone, like two searchlights.

"Hmph, actually Daddy didn't have to say it, I already know. It's because grandma wouldn't let Mommy stay, right!"

Rong Lingxia's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he felt that this matter shouldn't have been told to him by Lin Meng. Because under the circumstances of knowing that Youyou might be angry with her grandmother, she wouldn't tell the child with such a personality, then――

"Wasn't it Haohao who told you!"

That deep-thinking little guy, though he rarely spoke, was incredibly intelligent. He observed everything silently and perceptively, forming his own opinions about it all.

The little boy didn't deny it, and asked insistently, "Why!"

Then, after stamping her foot, the little fist clenched up as well. "Grandma doing this isn't good!"

He puffed up his cheeks angrily.

Rong Ling was starting to get a headache. He had just settled the issue between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and now he had to deal with another one: his grandmother and grandson. He really felt like it was a hassle. Sure enough, whatever involved his father, who only caused trouble for him, became complicated!

"Yoyo, grandma knows she was wrong and got punished by daddy!"

"Oh!" the little guy blinked curiously.

“Daddy punished Grandma to reflect for a night, or else, Grandma should have come with Daddy to see Mommy just now and apologized to Mommy. You know, your grandma loves you the most. You made her spend a whole night without seeing you, which is a huge torture for your grandma! Is this punishment enough!”

The little boy nodded. He still liked his grandma very much. His grandma made him delicious food, played with him, told him some old stories, and even bought him lots of toys.

"Then we'll go back, right We'll be back tomorrow, won't we!"

The little guy said, holding onto Rong Ling's arm gently, like he was with his mommy. He held Rong Ling's arm and brought it up to his chest, clinging to him lovingly.

Rong Ling reached out and, with one hand, lifted the little boy.

"No going back!"

"Why!"

"That way when you marry your mommy, it'll look a little better!"

"I don't understand!" After all, he is still young. How could he possibly understand so much!

"When you grow up, you'll understand!"

"I have to wait until I'm older again!" the little boy complained softly, his voice filled with longing for growing up.

Rong Ling just smiled softly.

"Dad, when are you going to marry Mommy! Why haven't you married Mommy yet!"

The little guy thought, why is the adult world so complicated If you want to get married, just get married!

"Almost there!" he replied nonchalantly.

The little guy broke the pot and asked to the bottom of it. "When will it be done!"

"Well, well, look who's become a curious little thing today!"

Saying that, he held the little guy and walked out.

The little guy wouldn't budge, wiggling his little bottom. The grown-up persisted relentlessly, "Come on, Daddy, just tell Yoyo, okay Please! What time is it! Yoyo wants Daddy and Mommy to get married soon, be together soon, and then we can move back into the big house!"

Rong Ling patted the little guy's head and, without saying anything, left the room.

Lin Meng's gaze swept over gently.

The little one immediately stood up, hugged Rong Ling's arm, and whispered in his ear, "Father is bad!"

Ronger was stunned.

"Daddy, put me down!"

Ron Ling let him down, and he ran to find Lin Meng.

"What did you talk about with your daddy!" Lin Meng teased.

The little guy made a spooky face and shouted, "Secret!"

Then she glanced at Rong Ling, like a little dumpling, rolled into Lin Meng's arms, and found herself a spot in her embrace, tucking herself in and leaning against her chest, half-closing her eyes, enjoying herself like a young master.

Rong Ling was thinking about the look his son had given him, that glance which wasn't quite like a child's, carrying with it some unfathomable meaning. His thoughts began to turn slowly.

*

The next morning, Rong Mama came over right away. She didn't need to go out of her way to find the new address; she just had to sit in the driver's car and come over. She arrived early, just as the sky was beginning to lighten with a hint of fish belly white. Lin Meng and the others were still asleep. Rong Ling was also sleeping holding Lin Meng, waking up only when the driver called her.

As soon as he hung up the phone, a smile played on the corner of his lips.

"Little one—" He leaned down and whispered in Lin Meng's ear.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She scratched her ears like a little animal, mumbled something, and snuggled closer to him.

"Wake up, it's time to get up!"

"Hmm" She hummed softly, her voice nasal, and opened her eyes a sliver. She tilted her head slightly as she looked at him.

He kissed her little mouth and said to her, “My mom is here, get up!”

Oh, his mother is here!

She unconsciously closed her eyes again, drifting off to sleep. Then, when the message slowly translated in her mind a step later, she suddenly opened her eyes wide!

"Mother-in-law is here!" The voice, just woken up, was still a little hoarse.

"Well, she's here. The driver said she got up early and was busy all morning, and now she's at the door. She didn't dare come in and is waiting outside. It's cold out there, so the driver called me because she was worried she'd catch a cold."

"How could Auntie not knock on the door!"

Lin Meng immediately got up and pushed Rong Ling. "Go quickly, go quickly and open the door, don't let your mom get frostbite!"

As he spoke, he flung back the covers and got out of bed barefoot.

Rong Ling didn't move. "This door, you should open it. It's more appropriate!"

Lin Meng glared at him and said reproachfully, "What's the matter Everyone drives the same way!"

Saying that, she found a coat and threw it on randomly. She hurried out the door. Rong Ling watched her back and smiled. This little woman was even more anxious than his own son!

Upon arriving at the door, Lin Meng abruptly yanked it open. To his surprise, Rong Mama was indeed standing outside. At that moment, he felt a surge of emotion.

"Mother-in-law, you're here! Why didn't you give me a call! Come in quickly, come in!"

Saying so, she quickly took the basket from her mother's hands, gently grasped her mother's arm, and led her inside.

Mom Rong was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and said nothing before going into the house. When Lin Meng put down the basket, Mom Rong quickly said, "There's some porridge and steamed buns in here, I just made them this morning. You can heat them up and eat them later!"

Lin Meng heard this and sat down beside Mama Rong, grabbing her hand.

"Mother, what are you doing! What a bother to make all this early in the morning!"

Congee is easy, just set the time and the pressure cooker will do it itself. But those buns, they require kneading dough and making the meat filling, which would be quite troublesome. Rong Ling said that Rong Mama started very early this morning to make them, so how early must that have been!

Upon seeing Mother's face again, Lin Meng realized she didn't look well. Her complexion was pale, and her eyes were puffy. It was obvious that she hadn't slept well at all!

Lin Meng's heart was instantly filled with emotion!

"Just listen to Mom explain there. 'I saw Youyou and Haohuo liked eating buns quite a lot, so I made some. There's pork with green peppers inside, and also chicken broth with mushrooms. It was kind of rushed, so I didn't make any others!'"

Lin Meng really likes to eat shiitake mushrooms!

To say that Mom did this by coincidence is simply too much! She knows what Youyou and Haohuo like to eat, so she made green pepper pork. Why didn't she notice that Linmeng likes mushrooms This is just her being embarrassed to admit it!

Her heart, as delicate as a dream, would understand with just a little thought!

"Youyou and Haohuo will definitely love this, hehe. Wait until they are better, they will be very happy for sure. And there's mushroom chicken soup, hehe, I can just borrow some light to eat a little too, this is exactly what I like!"

Mom immediately smiled, her eyes especially bright. "If you like it, eat more! I made plenty!"

"Well, good, thank you aunt!"

"Auntie, please sit down first. Let me pour you something to drink and warm your body up. It's quite cold outside, isn't it"

Saying that, he immediately went to the kitchen.

Seeing Lin Meng disappear into the kitchen, Rong Ma remained silent. The moment she was out of sight, Rong Ma sprang up like a rabbit and rushed to Rong Ling's side, leaning in with a worried tone, "

"Rong Ling, Mengmeng... she... isn't angry anymore, right!"

Rong Ling just laughed. “She wouldn’t be so petty. She didn’t even get mad at you. You see, as soon as I said you were coming, she woke up immediately and jumped out of bed to open the door for you! That speed, I couldn't even match it!”

Mom just covered her mouth and giggled, a wave of relief washing over her. Then, like a rabbit, she quickly hopped back and sat down on the couch again, afraid that Lin Meng might have seen their little exchange. After waiting for a moment, Lin Meng came over with a glass of water.

She pushed a cup of slightly pale gold liquid towards Mama Rong, smiling gently. "You need to warm the water before adding the honey, otherwise, its benefits won't be as effective. Aunt Rong, come have some honey water. It's warm and perfect for you. It invigorates the body and nourishes your skin!"

This explains why she came out a little late.

Mom hadn't really noticed it before, Lin Meng had made it for her, and she took it and drank it casually. But now that she suddenly paid attention to this small detail, her feelings were completely different.

This girl is actually really good. She's caring, gentle, and what's rare is that she doesn't mind things.

Mom gently cradled the warm honey water in her hand, finally letting go of the last bit of unease in her heart. She opened her mouth and apologized.

"Mumu, yesterday was Auntie's fault. She shouldn't have said those things! Auntie sometimes gets dizzy and does silly things. In the past, Rongling always told me off for this, and I knew it wasn't good, but I just couldn't change. After you left yesterday, Auntie regretted it a little, but she couldn't bring herself to apologize."

Mother reached out and grasped Lin Meng's hand, holding it tightly. "You are a good girl, your aunt knows that. I apologize for yesterday's events. Please forgive your aunt, I wasn't malicious, it was just...a moment of impulse, and then things happened like this!"

"Hee hee, I've already forgiven you!" Lin Meng chuckled. "Accepting your buns and porridge is the same as forgiveness. Besides, I know that everything your mother-in-law has done is for Rong Ling, and I understand that!"

Mom then smiled sheepishly.

"Rong Ling chimed in from the side, "Your mom wants to take you back, but that house doesn't know when it will be sold. Staying here like this is pretty good too, it saves us the trouble of moving again!"

"Hmm," this was exactly what Lin Meng had in mind.

Mom softened her tone and apologized. She felt a little embarrassed now, so she sipped her honey water slowly and said, "Maybe I came a little early. You guys should go back to sleep for a bit more!"

"Not too early!" Lin Meng responded cheerfully. "Mother, please sit down first, I'll tidy up a bit and then call Youyou and Haohuo to wake up!"

When Mom heard her grandson's name, her eyes lit up and her heart felt like little claws were scratching at it constantly, she was very excited.

"I'm going to check on Youyou!"

Saying that, she boldly drank the honey water in one gulp, then stood up and habitually sprang to one side. But later she realized this wasn't her home, but a rented apartment, the layout of which had changed. She had no idea where her grandson lived!

At that moment, looking at all this strangeness, Mama Rong's heart was deeply moved!

She truly felt the impact of this strangeness, the profound effect it had on a person; and she also truly felt the extent of the harm her impulsive words caused to a woman and two children!

She was taken aback.

Lin Meng didn't notice and walked up smiling, pointing with her finger.

"Mom, Youyou and Haohuo are in this room. Go over there and wake them up directly, it's almost time!"

Mom nodded, didn't say anything, and went to that room in a somewhat silent manner.

Lin Meng looked at Rong Ling with puzzlement, unable to understand why Rong Mama seemed to have a wave of sadness again. Rong Ling shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't understand either.

But as soon as she came out of the children's room, Mama was back to her usual playful and cheerful self. Then she rushed to serve everyone hot porridge and steamed buns, and afterward, she even snatched up the dishes from Lin Meng, pushing him out of the way.

"What's going on!"

Lin Meng whispered to Rong Ling.

Rong Ling smiled without speaking. He probed so thoroughly, what did it matter as long as things developed in the expected direction!

Thus, Rong Mama would run over here very diligently. Especially when Youyou came back late at night, she would also stay later. This brings us to Rong Sanbo. Rong Sanbo expressed his desire to nurture Youyou, and Rong Ling said that he currently had the heart but not the ability, so handing Youyou over to Rong Sanbo for cultivation was a good idea, it would only benefit the little guy. Lin Meng, out of personal feelings, wasn't really willing for Little Youyou to get too close to Rong Sanbo, especially she didn't want her child to eventually accept Rong Sanbo's affection and be influenced by him.

However, because she loved Rong Ling, she had a bit of love for Rong Sanbo out of affection. Besides, Rong Sanbo was indeed deeply in love with Rong Ling, and the fact that he was Youyou's great-grandfather was undeniable. And allowing the little one to receive a better education would actually benefit the little one. She shouldn't block the little one's path because of personal feelings.

So, although Lin Meng was reluctant in her heart, she still handed the child over.

This really pleased Rong Sanbo. That night, as soon as he received Lin Meng's agreement, he opened a private stash of sixty-year-old Luzhou Laojiao and had a grand drinking session. Of course, Lin Meng didn't know about any of this!

Thus, the little fellow began to go out early and return late. Mom Rong followed him, also staying in this house later and later. Lin Meng watched and felt a pang of sympathy. Day after day, making an elder go back and forth like this was truly not right. But the room was limited, and if Mom Rong moved in, it would be difficult to arrange things. So she could only suppress these feelings, thinking about delaying things until the villa was actually sold. Then, she could let Mom Rong move in without any problems!

Life in the neighborhood is peaceful. Because most residents are ordinary people, mostly working for a living, they go out early and return late. When they are home, it's usually elderly couples taking care of their children, so it's a very harmonious and friendly atmosphere!

Jiang Changhao didn't know where he got the news, but he somehow ended up at the door. At this point, Haohao's head was a complete mess, with messy hair growing on his forehead that was already starting to look like short black strands. If it grew any longer, he'd probably be mistaken for a little fairy!

"I'll take him!"

As soon as Jiang Changhao said this, Haohao's little face darkened. "Whoosh!" He jumped off the sofa and rushed to hug Lin Meng's legs, hiding behind her. Then he poked out a small head and glared fiercely at his father, as if he were looking at a class enemy.

"What kind of look is that!" Jiang Changhao glared coldly at Xiao Haohuo.

Lin Meng immediately reached out, slightly bending down, her small hand covering half of the little boy's face.

"Don't be so harsh on the child!" She frowned, looking at Jiang Changhao, expressing her disapproval of his attitude!

Jiang Changhao was not so cold and harsh towards Lin Meng. He even smiled at her.

"This kid, has he been bothering you lately!"

"No, he's been very well-behaved!"

Jiang Changhao took large strides closer, and Little Hao tightened his grip on Lin Meng even more. His hold was so tight that it made Lin Meng's legs ache a little. She took a step or two back with the child, widening her eyes and looking at Jiang Changhao warily.

Jiang Changhao looked at the big and small pair, and suddenly burst into laughter. In the end, he laughed so hard that he covered his stomach, laughing until his waist bent!

What's going on!ght into the child's hands, completely ignoring the kid's eager eyes and smile."Here you go, as promised, a reward for you!"When he was playing soldiers and officers on the phone, he promised the litt...
