Thank you to "Xuan An Yin Yan" and Lan Yan from Q Yue for the reward~

******************************

Li Shuning was a bit speechless; the uninvited guest scarcely had any friendship with her. However, she couldn’t just ask them to leave.

Li Shuning thought for a moment, moved her spiritual power, and shortly after, Eldest Sister-in-law Ye came by with her child.

This time, Eldest Sister-in-law Ye brought a large bunch of fresh vegetables.

"Sister Shuning, I came to learn how to knit sweaters from you again."

Li Shuning quickly stood up: "Sister-in-law, come in quickly. Xiao Bao at my house also likes to play with Xiao Keke. Look at you, you always bring something every time you come. It makes me so embarrassed."

"Oh, Sister Shuning, don’t you also give candies to Xiao Keke every time? Besides, it’s just a bunch of vegetables from our farm."

The two chatted and laughed, leaving Tao Xiaoxiao somewhat neglected on the side.

Tao Xiaoxiao felt a bit awkward; last time, she was caught by Eldest Sister-in-law Ye.

"Oh, Xiaoxiao is here too."

Tao Xiaoxiao quickly responded with a smile: "Yes, my parents are out working, and my sister-in-law went back to her family for something. She asked me to take care of my little niece. Since I had nothing to do, I brought my little niece to play at sister-in-law’s house."

Eldest Sister-in-law Ye, however, mumbled to herself. From the Tao Family to here, it’s a journey of half the town. It’s quite a distance to bring a child here just to play. I’m afraid Tao Xiaoxiao has ulterior motives, right?

Could it be that she missed a meal last time and came specifically to mooch a meal this time?

Bringing a child along, I’m afraid Sister Shuning couldn’t directly ask her to leave.

Li Shuning prepared some carrot juice, giving each of the three children a cup.

The carrot juice looked reddish, with a bit of glucose powder added, making it slightly sweet, which the children liked to drink.

Tao Lele drank with the ugliest manner, gulping it down quickly and even wanted to snatch Xiao Bao’s cup. After all, Xiao Bao was younger, while Xiao Keke was older than Tao Lele.

However, Li Shuning was holding Xiao Bao’s cup, as Xiao Bao was too young, and she was afraid she might spill it. So, Tao Lele couldn’t snatch it.

Tao Xiaoxiao didn’t stop Tao Lele but pretended not to see anything.

Eldest Sister-in-law Ye immediately stepped forward and held Tao Lele: "Oh, Xiao Lele, that belongs to the little sister. You shouldn’t take things from others, okay? This belongs to the little sister’s house. Look, everyone has a cup, and you have finished yours."

Tao Xiaoxiao still acted as if nothing had happened.

After the children finished drinking, Li Shuning put the children on the carpet in the living room.

Xiao Bao was already eight months old and could crawl and sit on her own. With toys, she could play for a long time.

Xiao Keke also enjoyed playing with Xiao Bao. The two kids were deeply engaged in playing on the carpet.

Tao Lele didn’t like staying still; at home, she liked to crawl around.

Moreover, she wanted to drink carrot juice, and the little sister wasn’t giving it, which made her somewhat dislike Xiao Bao.

Tao Lele was almost one year old, and once placed on the ground, she started crawling on her own.

In no time, she crawled into Li Shuning’s bedroom.

Tao Xiaoxiao didn’t care and instead enviously looked at Li Shuning’s house. Last time she came, she was allured by the food and didn’t notice the house.

Thinking about it now, how wonderful it would be to live in such a house.

Look at the soft sofa and the black and white TV, and the carpet on the floor. It’s truly luxurious.

At her home, the floor was mud, while here, it was cement.

The more she thought, the more Tao Xiaoxiao felt discontent. Why do some people have such a good life?

Eldest Sister-in-law Ye felt more uneasy as she watched.

She worried for Li Shuning.

This Tao Xiaoxiao, really, doesn’t she understand how to behave? Letting her little niece snatch food from Xiao Bao, letting Tao Lele crawl everywhere, she even crawled into someone’s bedroom. This is someone else’s home, with no manners at all.

As expected, soon, cries came from the bedroom.

Li Shuning picked up the child and went over to the bedroom.

Tao Xiaoxiao and Eldest Sister-in-law Ye followed, and what they saw was unbelievable. Tao Lele had pooped in Li Shuning’s bedroom and then stepped in it, walking around the bedroom, leaving marks all over the pristine carpet, looking disgusting. Moreover, Tao Lele had pulled down the quilt, got tangled in it, and cried because of that, so the quilt was also soiled with poop.

The weather wasn’t too hot nor too cold, and it was a lightweight quilt, and from its look, it wasn’t an ordinary one.

Li Shuning looked unhappy, and Eldest Sister-in-law Ye felt distressed for her.

Tao Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and slapped Tao Lele on the back: "You naughty child, why are you misbehaving like this? I’m so sorry, sister-in-law. Do you have spare clothes? Let me clean the child first."

Eldest Sister-in-law Ye was unhappy: "Tao Xiaoxiao, where do you find guests who let their children crawl around in other people’s homes? You, as the aunt, didn’t take care of the child, and after messing up someone’s room, you still place the blame on the child. Truly, there isn’t a shred of sincerity in admitting your mistake."

Li Shuning also frowned: "Miss Tao, the carpet in my room was custom-made, and the quilt is a down quilt, costing several hundred each. To be honest, I don’t really know Miss Tao, and your multiple visits here have been quite inexplicable. You should take your child and leave; you’re not welcome here."

Tao Xiaoxiao’s face turned sour: "Sister-in-law, the child didn’t know any better, and who knew she would do that? I’ll have my mom wash your quilt. Now with the child in such a mess, I’m just asking to borrow some clothes, and you won’t even agree?"

Li Shuning looked at Tao Xiaoxiao: "So, Miss Tao means that it’s my fault for not watching over your child? For the mess, I deserve it? Why should I lend you clothes? Do I owe you something? Do leave, I don’t want to see you anymore."

Tao Xiaoxiao, eyes glistening with tears, gave Li Shuning a harsh look and, holding her breath against the smell, carried Tao Lele away.

After leaving, she walked in crowded areas, intending to let others know about Li Shuning’s wickedness.

However, with the child smelling so bad, although some were curious, they didn’t want to get too close.

Sister-in-law Ye sighed: "Sister Shuning, you’re just too soft-hearted; you should have made her clean up the room before letting her leave. Where can you find a person like her who so-called brings children to play, and yet, her intentions aren’t pure? Did you see her eyes? Ugh."

Li Shuning smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law, let it be. After today’s incident, if Tao Xiaoxiao comes again, I won’t let her in anymore. Before, I thought, since we are all from the same town, we would occasionally see each other, but who knew this person was so unreliable."

Sister-in-law Ye helped Li Shuning clean up the room before leaving.

Later, Sister-in-law Ye shared this incident with her close friends.

Initially, Tao Xiaoxiao wanted to tarnish Li Shuning’s reputation by saying she was unfriendly, bullied people, was stingy, and nitpicked. However, before she could finish her words, she was retorted by others.
