After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Deng Jing touched his little face. "You must be Lili, right?"

"Yes," Su Li nodded, "Who are you?"

Linlin reminded her younger brother, "This is Erbai Niang."

"Love?" Su Li's eyes widened, and she pointed her chubby finger at Su Jue. "You love him, and he loves you too?"

The siblings couldn't pronounce "伯" (bo) and "二" (er), which made the shy Deng Jing and Su Jue blush with embarrassment.

Fortunately, the children wouldn't think of going there.

Su Li's gaze quickly shifted to the rice candy on the table, and her mouth was practically watering.

Deng Jing found it amusing and broke off a small piece for him.

Su Li didn't take it immediately, but quickly glanced at her older brother and sister.

No one stopped him, so he quickly took it.

He wasn't in a hurry to eat. Instead, he snuggled closer to Su Jue, hiding inside his coat, and ate secretly like a little mouse.

Su Jue sighed helplessly, knowing that the boy was afraid of being scolded.

He was still teething, so Lin Zhilan and Su Lang rarely gave him candy and were very strict with him.

Now that she's finally managed to get a piece, Su Li even knows to secretly eat it.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang had already heard the children's voices and were just coming out of the room with Su Pei and Su Yao.

Su Li has sharp ears and immediately reacted when she heard her mother's footsteps.

She took a bite first, and then, with lightning speed, shoved the remaining half of the rice candy into Su Jue's mouth.

Su Jue: "..."

There's even that brat's drool on it!

Su Jue has always disapproved of hitting children, but this time he was itching to do it himself.

Su Li had already turned around to face Lin Zhilan and Su Lang, and said in a way that seemed to imply something was amiss, "I didn't eat!"

Lin Zhilan didn't speak, so he pointed at Su Jue and complained, "He loves to eat, so hit him!"

With the rice candy stuffed in her mouth, Su Jue's expression shifted from shock to helplessness.

Seeing that he was rarely at a disadvantage, Deng Jing couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

Su Jue caught a glimpse of that smile and suddenly felt that the rice candy in her mouth, still wet with saliva, wasn't so unbearable after all.

Lin Zhilan knew what had happened without even asking.

But she wasn't in a hurry to teach this brat a lesson.

"Come here." She beckoned to Su Li.

Su Li pouted and buried her head in Su Jue's arms, pretending not to hear.

Lin Zhilan sighed helplessly, "I won't hit you this time."

"Hehe." Upon hearing this, Su Li immediately smiled again and went over to hug her mother's leg.

"These two are my second uncle's older sisters, Sister Peipei and Sister Yaoyao." Lin Zhilan pulled him in front of Su Pei and Su Yao. "Come on, greet them."

Su Li raised her face and obediently called out, "Sister!"

Su Li is good-looking, and when she's not being naughty, she looks quite well-behaved.

Su Pei and Su Yao smiled at him and said, "Hello, little brother."

Lin Zhilan nodded in satisfaction, her gaze falling on Su Li's innocent little face, and then looking at her two quiet and well-behaved nieces beside her.

I suddenly remembered a line from "Dream of the Red Chamber" when Lady Wang first met Lin Daiyu:

"I have a wicked child, the devil in the family..."

Whether Jia Baoyu was a troublemaker or not is debatable, but Lin Zhilan certainly knew what she meant.

Lin Zhilan pulled Su Pei and Su Yao into her arms. "Your little brother is very naughty. As his older sisters, you can discipline him."

Su Pei liked her aunt very much, and smiled with pursed lips, "I don't know how to discipline my younger brother."

"I'll demonstrate!" Linlin raised her hand.

She walked over, took Su Li's hand, and slapped his palm a few times.

Lin Zhilan said to her two nieces, "That's how it is. You should learn from your sister and not be afraid of him."

Deng Jing quickly stood up. "Zhilan, that's not how you teach children."

Su Li, unaware that Deng Jing was speaking up for him, wiggled his hips provocatively at his sister, "It doesn't hurt at all, it doesn't hurt at all, nyah nyah nyah..."

Wow!

Lin Zhilan was utterly astonished by her son's "outrageous" behavior.

"Su Lang!"

Su Lang quickly grabbed Su Li and carried him outside.

Even as Su Li was being dragged along, she still managed to make faces at Su Pei and Su Yao.

Deng Jing was stunned, as were Su Pei and Su Yao.

Lin Zhilan shrugged at Deng Jing, spreading her hands, "Second sister-in-law, you see what kind of thing I gave birth to, right?"

Deng Jing burst out laughing.

Jiang Chengzhou was raised to be obedient and sensible by his parents, and Linlin was also a child who was both affectionate and well-behaved. No one expected that Zhilan's youngest son would have such a personality.

This is just the beginning.

We ate lunch at Xu Yueyun's place.

The three little girls quickly warmed up to each other again after just one meal, chattering away and agreeing to sleep together that night.

Deng Jing naturally came back with her.

Knowing that his journey would be long and arduous, Su Jue followed along.

He wanted to get closer to his daughter, so he asked Su Lang how to style a girl's hair.

Su Lang naturally wouldn't refuse him, letting Linlin be his model and serve as an example for his second uncle.

Su Pei and Su Yao still remember their father, but he seems somewhat unfamiliar to them, and they dare not get close to him.

Moreover, children are very good at reading their parents' expressions.

If a mother is not close to her father, she will also feel that her father is distant.

When Su Jue suggested styling her daughter's hair, Deng Jing didn't refuse; instead, she encouraged her daughter.

With Linlin nearby, Peipei and Yaoyao finally agreed.

Deng Jing watched as Su Jue braided her daughter's hair. Su Pei and Su Yao had faint smiles on their faces and bright eyes.

Deng Jing unconsciously laughed along, but a wave of bitterness welled up in her heart.

"like!"

A childish voice interrupted her thoughts.

Deng Jing lowered her head, and Su Li, who had somehow slipped to her side, looked at her with bright eyes.

"What's wrong, Lili?" Deng Jing smiled and reached out to pat his head.

"Gift."

Su Li put her hands behind her back and twisted her small body around.

"Are you going to give me a gift?" Deng Jing asked.

Su Li nodded obediently, her expression as sweet and well-behaved as could be.

He inherited his parents' good genes; he has fair skin, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a delicate, adorable appearance.

People who meet him for the first time are always deceived by his appearance.

After those two incidents that morning, Deng Jing clearly still hadn't fully grasped Su Li's true nature.

When Su Li smiled at her like that, Deng Jing's heart melted.

She bent down, placed her hands on her knees, and asked with a smile, "What are you going to give Second Aunt as a gift?"

Su Li flashed a smile, revealing her small teeth, and held something high in both hands.

"Quack quack!"

A frog, alive.

Startled, Deng Jing instinctively took a step back, tripped on the threshold, and fell backward.

One hand firmly wrapped around her waist.

Su Jue had somehow appeared behind her, completely surrounding her.

Fearing that Deng Jing would reject him, he quickly let go and shielded her behind him.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

No one else knew, except Su Jue, who knew that Deng Jing was most afraid of soft-bodied, wriggling animals like frogs, lizards, and earthworms.

"Su Li, your second aunt is afraid of frogs, so throw them out quickly."
