Chapter 409: Chapter 409: A Day in the Life of Tang Tang

"Xiao Yong, don’t bully little kids."

Tang Tang was caught by Xiao Yong and immediately showed an indignant look.

Zhou Zhiyong was surprised by her. How had she changed so much in just about a month? Is this still my Tang Tang?

He then reached out and pinched her chubby little cheeks twice, pulling them outward.

"Who taught you this? And you should call me brother." Zhou Zhiyong was very curious.

Tang Tang was pulled to the point of tears, pitifully calling out: "Brother."

Seeing her like this, Zhou Zhiyong panicked a little, quickly pulling out another chocolate from his pocket.

He only had three, hadn’t eaten them himself, and now two were gone.

Tang Tang got the chocolate, her face showing her trademark silly smile again.

"han~"

"Don’t let Aunt Mao know, or she’ll confiscate all your chocolates." Zhou Zhiyong warned.

Tang Tang especially liked sweets, and Jiang Yingxue particularly liked this little one, so she bought a ton of imported candies online for her.

Hence, the little one who used to eat with a big appetite every day began having a poor appetite for several days, so Mao Sanmei started to limit her candy intake.

Actually, candy isn’t good; eating too much not only damages teeth, leads to obesity, but also causes osteoporosis and affects intelligence.

But for Tang Tang, who loves candy, this was a huge blow, so every day she would use all sorts of tricks to outwit her mom for a few candies.

Don’t underestimate her; she’s quite clever, always managing to sneak a few extra candies daily.

Tang Tang didn’t understand what Brother Xiao Yong was saying, but she knew the principle that candy shouldn’t be kept for long. So she directly peeled open a chocolate and stuffed it in her mouth.

"han~"

Tang Tang squinted her eyes, and at this moment, the wind was truly sweet.

"Xiao Yong, bring Tang Tang over to eat." At this time, a cooking auntie called out.

Upon hearing, Xiao Yong immediately pulled Tang Tang inside, and the other children also rushed towards the small dining hall.

Tang Tang’s dishes and utensils were kept for her, and she held them obediently, following her older brothers and sisters in line.

Mao Sanmei, helping in the kitchen, also noticed her and couldn’t help but smile seeing her so well-behaved and cute.

She realized bringing Tang Tang to Rainbow House wasn’t just for Tang Tang to meet friends but also to better understand her daughter’s well-behaved life.

"Tang Tang, can you hear sounds now?"

"Tang Tang, how did you learn to speak?"

"Tang Tang, did you start kindergarten?"

"Does your new mom treat you well? If not, come back, okay?"

"Tang Tang, you’re a little silly, hehe, do you know what I’m saying?"

...

When queuing, the children were not quiet, all teasing Tang Tang noisily.

Tang Tang was so popular primarily because she was well-behaved and cute; everyone liked this little sister who only knew how to smile silly.

Another reason was that Tang Tang returned today bringing lots of delicious snacks to share with everyone, and there were two extra dishes for lunch.

Soon it was Tang Tang’s turn, and it was her own mom, Mao Sanmei, serving her meal.

"Ooh~" She raised her small bowl high.

Mao Sanmei glanced at her, then suddenly bent down, wiped the corner of her mouth with a finger, and showed it to her.

"han~"

Seeing the chocolate on her mom’s finger, Tang Tang immediately showed a silly smile.

"Auntie, I gave Tang Tang the chocolate, don’t blame her."

Standing behind her, Xiao Yong immediately stepped forward, shielding Tang Tang behind him.

Mao Sanmei was taken aback, then gave Xiao Yong a thumbs-up and shook her hand, indicating she wasn’t blaming them.

Then noticing the children in the line behind Tang Tang all craning their necks and staring, Mao Sanmei felt a bit flustered.

Not daring to criticize Tang Tang further, she quickly began serving Xiao Yong.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yong moved Tang Tang back to the front, letting her go first.

Tang Tang looked at the food in her small bowl, gave her mom a silly smile, her eyes showing a hint of cunning.

She then proudly puffed out her little belly and walked happily over to the small dining table.

As if saying, I’m not afraid of you, I have my brothers and sisters.

Mao Sanmei was amused by her little demeanor.

But she didn’t forget to serve Xiao Yong.

Ding Guilan, accompanying Ruan Hongzhuang on the side watching, couldn’t help but say: "All good kids."

Ruan Hongzhuang nodded and then asked Ding Guilan: "Is Xiao Yong’s mom still sentenced to life?"

Previously, Ruan Hongzhuang heard from Ding Guilan that Zhou Zhiyong’s dad was a taxi driver, who got into a dispute with a drunk and was killed by the drunk with a knife.

The drunk’s family was influential, and ultimately compensated to settle.

Xiao Yong’s mom was very resentful, so sought revenge by poisoning the drunk’s entire family.

Back then, after Xiao Yong’s mom committed the murders, she didn’t immediately flee but chose to surrender after sending Xiao Yong to Rainbow House.

She was sentenced to death with reprieve. Death with reprieve isn’t the same as the death penalty; within two years, if there’s no intentional crime, it can be reduced to life imprisonment.

And in prison, what crime could be committed, so generally death with reprieve is equivalent to life.

Of course, if there’s a meritorious performance during this period, life can be changed to a fixed-term sentence, but the sentence can’t be less than 25 years.

By the time 25 years are up, Xiao Yong would be in his thirties, still able to see him marry and have children.

"Still life, it’s not easy to earn merits." Ding Guilan sighed.

Seeming to pity Xiao Yong’s mother’s fate, and also pitying Xiao Yong, such a good child.

"I’ll try to figure something out." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Then I thank Miss Ruan on behalf of Xiao Yong. He’ll be very happy to hear this." Ding Guilan rejoiced.

"Don’t tell him yet, for I’m not sure about the outcome." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Right, so he doesn’t get his hopes up." Ding Guilan understood Ruan Hongzhuang’s approach.

Then said: "Let’s go, let’s join for lunch."

At this moment, Tang Tang was burying her little head in her bowl, gobbling down.

It seemed her appetite improved a lot since coming to Rainbow House.

Oil on her nose, her face covered with rice grains, looking like a little kitten.

Xiao Yong habitually took out a napkin to wipe her off.

Tang Tang obediently tilted her head, not moving, cooperating quite well.

"You’ve learned to speak, wonder if you can go to kindergarten. If someone bullies you there, come back and tell brother, brother will hit him..." Xiao Yong chatted like a worried old father beside Tang Tang.

Tang Tang couldn’t hear what he said but knew her brother was talking to her.

So she grinned widely at Xiao Yong, showing her small white teeth.

The sunlight streamed through the window onto her little face, at this moment, she shone like a little angel.

A gust of wind sneaked in through the window, brushing against Xiao Yong’s hair, like a mother’s gentle hand, lightly patting.

"han~"

Tang Tang’s gaze followed this gust of wind outside the window.

A bird perched on the window ledge, curiously looking at Tang Tang.

As their eyes met, the bird tilted its head, and Tang Tang immediately imitated, but tilted too much, fell over with the bowl, the remaining food splattered over her face and head, sparking laughter in the dining hall.

Seeing everyone laugh, she laughed too.

"han~"
