Chapter 543 Luo Feng's Ambition (2)
At the door of Old Lady Luo's house, Luo Baiwan secretly spat, "Serves him right!"
This is retribution, karma in this very life!
He was abused as a child and had to support the Luo family as an adult.
Her own daughter was viciously schemed against by Old Lady Luo. In Old Lady Luo's eyes, Luo the Second and Luo the Third were her sons.
Her whole family is nothing but their slaves! They should be supported by them!
That's enough, that's really enough!
He's not a three-year-old; he's not so easily fooled.
Once Grandma Luo entered her own home, she wouldn't leave no matter how hard she tried to get rid of her.
Daya, Luo Jing, and Xiaomei will all become her bargaining chips, and his good days will be completely ruined by her.
She's like a leech, draining his entire family dry to support Luo Lao Er, Luo Lao San, and their children.
He would never let her succeed. The family's current prosperity was brought about by Daya, and had nothing to do with those vampires from the Luo family.
“When you married into the village, I was five years old and my sister was eight. You never raised me. I helped with chores at home from a young age, but I was fed with dishwater. Without the help of my seventh uncle and aunt, I would have starved to death long ago!”
Luo Baiwan's words resonated with many, as the village chief had suffered greatly in his youth.
The Seventh Uncle's family felt this deeply; their close relationship stemmed from the Seventh Uncle's kindness to the village chief.
Yu Laidi felt a little guilty and stubbornly retorted, "Back then, conditions were bad, and there were many children. It wasn't just you who didn't have food; everyone was starving..."
Luo Baiwan snorted coldly, "So you mean I'm the eldest, so I deserve to die? I won't argue with you about that. But you treat Luo Xiang from your second son's family like the apple of your eye, yet you used my daughter for a ghost marriage and used Da Ya to marry off Luo Juan. Is that true?"
Yu Laidi's eyes flickered, and in her haste, she blurted out.
"Well, I was also instigated by that little hussy Luo Juan. It's really not my fault!"
Luo Baiwan chuckled coldly; this old hag was quite good at saving face.
"Ha, you think Luo Juan, a mere girl, can instigate you? Do you think everyone in the village is a fool?"
Everyone knows you're a second wife. I don't have a mother like you, and I don't have any brothers. I only have one sister.
I will support you all because of my father's last words. I have raised you for so many years, that is enough!
My house isn't even big enough for myself. You can go wherever you want, but don't count on me, and definitely don't even think about taking anything from Luoning.
The onlookers, including Uncle Qi, nodded in agreement. Indeed, Yu Laidi was a stepmother, and the village chief had done a remarkable job in treating her this way.
Old Lady Luo is a real scoundrel; she's been so mean to the village chief and his two daughters, generation after generation.
The village chief's family had just gotten rid of them and started living a good life, and now they want to keep feeding them.
They'd never seen anyone so shameless in their half-lives. The second and third Luo brothers were almost forty, and they still hadn't made anything of themselves; all they knew was to rely on the village chief.
Uncle Qi was the most furious about this matter.
He was helping to record the number of people who repaired the roads in the village every day. Among all those people, Luo Lao Er and Luo Lao San were the least competent at their jobs, always trying to shirk their duties.
Old Mrs. Luo burst into tears in an instant, slapping her thighs with both hands and cursing Luo Baiwan for being ungrateful, while also asking Wang Tiejun to uphold justice.
"Village chief, we and the eldest brother are family. We're family no matter where we are. The blood ties are there, and they can't be severed so easily! You must help our family, or we'll really have no way to survive."
“Yes, Uncle, Grandma is getting old and inevitably does some confused things. I know I was wrong. I will help you and Aunt with chores more in the future, and let my eldest and second cousins rest. Consider it as repaying you for supporting the family back then. Is that alright?” Luo Feng hurriedly expressed her gratitude, her attitude was very sincere and extremely respectful.
Grandma Luo glared at Luo Feng fiercely, thinking, "You think you're so great, daring to step on my head."
She was secretly pleased, however, that Luo Feng was even more clever than her sister Luo Juan.
Luo Baiwan looked at Luo Feng. Could it be that this girl has such comprehension? Is it like a bad bamboo shoot producing a good one?
Wang Tiejun was also somewhat surprised; Luo Feng seemed to be doing quite well.
Those who were just watching the drama unfold also gained a deeper understanding of Luo Feng based on her words. Before, the Luo family members only knew Luo Xiang and the eldest sister, Luo Juan.
This child was at the back of the line and didn't stand out much. I didn't expect him to be such a good kid, better than those other little brats.
It's getting cold, yet they're dressed so thinly, shivering from the cold. It's obvious they've been mistreated by Old Lady Luo. Poor thing!
When Luo Feng realized that everyone's opinion was tilting in her favor, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
Sister, you're about to enter the Luo Ning family to avenge them!
“Uncle, I’m 17 now, I can do any kind of work. I’ll help with the chores around the house from now on, so Auntie can have an easier time! I only need to eat half a bowl of rice per meal. I’ve always had a small appetite. We don’t have much money at home, and my younger siblings are still young, so I have to save them some food!”
Children from poor families mature early, and Luo Feng is truly remarkable. The onlookers nodded in agreement, their impression of Luo Feng improving even further.
Luo Baiwan also wavered. He could ignore the Luo family, but he wanted to adopt Luo Feng. "Alright then."
"Oh no!" Luo Ning, who had been calmly hiding behind the crowd, bowed to Xie Chang'an beside him and ordered, "Go and call my mother right now."
Then she slipped through the crowd and stood to Wang Tiejun's left.
Luo Baiwan's eyes lit up. "Da Ya, you're here! Look how pitiful Luo Feng is, let's adopt her..."
"Dad, the money I borrowed from the credit union to repair the road is still nowhere to be found. Our family is all show and no substance, and we're moving forward with debt."
Luo Feng has parents; it's not your place as her uncle to adopt her. That's not a good way to put it!
We have children, and Luo Feng is not a child. What would it mean to adopt Luo Feng at this time?
People would assume that her parents had died and that she had no one to rely on but had gone to live with her uncle!
But her parents are still alive, and her grandmother is still alive too. She doesn't need us!
Luo Ning forcefully interrupted Luo Baiwan's thoughts. Her own father was soft-hearted at crucial moments. This was a problem that needed to be cured!
If Luo Feng is a good person, then there are no bad people in the world.
Luo Feng and Luo Juan are biological sisters, and they are only one year apart in age. She doesn't believe that Luo Feng was completely unaware of Luo Juan's schemes against her and Luo Jing.
Luo Juan's death is inextricably linked to her. Would Luo Feng let her go without considering their sisterly bond? No way!
Luo Feng was dressed very lightly today, and looked so pitiful, which earned her a lot of sympathy.
Can someone who can say things like "supporting a family and repaying kindness" be considered innocent? Whether others believe it or not, she doesn't know, but she certainly doesn't!
No problem there, the onlookers were speechless.
The Luo couple are both doing well, so adopting Luo Feng is really not appropriate.
Luo Feng panicked instantly, her legs went weak and she knelt down before Luo Ning. "Eldest cousin, please give me this chance to repay my uncle. I will repay the kindness he showed to us siblings, as well as the kindness shown to my father and third uncle."
Now that I'm the eldest daughter in the family, I should do my part for the family. Besides, my mom said that when I was little, my aunt really liked me and took me in for a long time. I have a special connection with my uncle's family!
The onlookers were stunned for a moment, vaguely remembering that this had happened.
When Luo Feng was one year old, her mother became pregnant again, but she fell and miscarried. Overwhelmed with her own problems, she entrusted the younger Luo Feng to Liu Aihong for care.
Luo Ning frowned slightly; she had no idea such a thing existed.
She's a fake!
Pshaw, no, the original owner was only two years old at the time, so it's possible that she didn't know that.
Her easily influenced father was already inclined to adopt Luo Feng, and now that Luo Feng has this kind of unfortunate connection with her family, things are not looking good...
Xie Chang'an hasn't returned yet, I'm so worried!
