Compared with Chinese families, white families are much less stable, after all, white women are not taught to abide by the three obedience and four virtues from birth.

At this time, Chinese women are undoubtedly much more miserable than Chinese women in the 21st century, they obey the orders of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, and form a family with a strange man, and from then on they are really the water spilled by the married girl, whether it is experiencing poverty, illness, or birth, old age, sickness and death, they can only end from the beginning.

If they are lucky, it is better to meet a good man who can know cold and heat, if they are unlucky, even if they encounter coldness and violence, they can only stay alone in the marriage room and cry secretly, unless they die ruthlessly, otherwise they can only suffer in endless pain.

In addition to the coldness and violence they may encounter, they are also facing the danger that a complete family may be divided into several parts, after all, for Qing men at this time, three wives and four concubines is a very normal state, and a man with a little ability will not guard a wife to live.

And even if there are three wives and four concubines in the family, the man can go out of the house to spend all day drinking, and the woman must not only not complain about this, but also have to worry about everything for her husband, even whether their husband can have fun outside, otherwise it is not a woman's way.

Strictly speaking, Will is still very good in this regard, Will's wife died of illness after giving birth to Sandy, and Will is immersed in the grief of losing his wife, and would rather pull Gloria and Sandy alone than have the intention of continuing the string.

As for Claudia, it was just an accident, or perhaps fate, a special reward that God could not bear to see Will die alone and so on.

For Gloria and Sandy, the consequences of the appearance of a strange woman by Will's side are uncertain, and it is possible that Will will get another happiness from it, but it may also bring the danger of splitting this originally incomplete but warm and complete family.

In order not to irritate Gloria and Sandy, Will placed Claudia and the children in Washington, D.C., and did not let them get involved in Gloria and Sandy's lives.

But this is also unfair to Claudia and her children, Will can only take the time to see the two of them, and cannot give them a complete family, the children can barely make a living like this when they are young, and once the children are older, this kind of treatment will also lead to another tragedy.

Therefore, testing Gloria and Sandy's acceptance of Claudia and the child is the task that Will gave Li Mu.

Gloria is not easy to deal with, so Li Mu started with the relatively simple Sandy.

"That woman... What's her name? Sandy felt as if her body was frozen in the snow and ice, and it didn't take until half a sound to respond.

"Claudia, Claudia Weir." Li Mu took a fierce medicine, and the long pain is not as good as the short pain.

In fact, Claudia's surname is "Nell", but if she forms a family with Will, Claudia will have to change her surname to "Will".

Sandy lowered his head, Li Mu couldn't see Sandy's expression clearly, and after a long while, Sandy replied in a muffled voice: "Isn't it surnamed Nell..."

It turns out that Sandy doesn't know anything, he just doesn't want to face it.

It is understandable that children from single-parent families are sensitive, and in the face of certain unexpected situations, they would rather be like ostriches and bury their heads in the sand.

For a long time, Sandy has always been lively and lovely in Li Mu's impression, and in the face of her strong sister, although she knows that she is invincible, Sandy has never chosen to admit defeat.

After Li Mu came to Will's house, Sandy's sense of existence has always been very low, but as long as there is an opportunity, Sandy always does not hesitate to release her kindness and enthusiasm to Li Mu, which Li Mu has never felt in Chu Xue and Gloria.

This petite little girl is like a daffodil in the corner of the garden that no one admires, no matter whether anyone notices her or not, she will quietly bloom with her own beauty.

Li Mu's words were like a sharp scalpel, mercilessly uncovering the scars that Sandy had been deliberately ignoring, and they were so bloodily exposed in the ice and snow.

At this moment, Li Mu didn't know what Sandy was thinking, but Li Mu could see that Sandy's originally cheerful and kicking calves were now still, and the two fluffy hairballs were obediently attached to the boots, as if they were sewn on them.

"Sandy..."Li Mu was extremely distressed, and naturally hugged Sandy's shoulders, trying to give Sandy some warmth.

Sandy was like Snow White who had just been woken up by a kiss, although her movements were slow, she leaned on Li Mu's arms very resolutely, put her hand into Li Mu's windbreaker, hugged Li Mu's chest, and almost used all her strength.

Li Mu wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that no matter what kind of language he had, he was so pale and powerless at this moment, so he had to pass on the message of "I've always been there" to Sandy with a slightly trembling shoulder.

I couldn't hear any sound from Sandy, but Li Mu could feel that his chest was a little wet, and Sandy's hands were so hard, Li Mu was worried about whether Sandy would break his nails, as for his sweater...

Leave it to fate!

As if sensing Sandy's sadness, Pan, who had been crazy, actually ran over from afar, first raised his paw and tried to put it on Sandy's arm, and after being pulled away by Li Muba, he tried to lick Sandy's hair.

This is not good, Li Mu held Sandy's shoulder with one hand, and resolutely pushed Pan's head with the other hand to prevent Pan from succeeding.

Such good hair must not be licked by a dog, and now Li Mu has a faint smell of sunshine lingering on the end of his nose, no need to ask, this must be from Sandy's blonde hair.

Pan was very dissatisfied with Li Mu's obstruction, and after sticking his head forward a few times and failing to succeed, Pan yelled at Li Mu twice in annoyance.

Sandy in Li Mu's arms obviously noticed all this, but Sandy did not give justice to Pan this time, but raised his foot and kicked Pan aside.

It's really accurate, Sandy's head is still in Li Mu's arms, and he hasn't even turned his head...

Although the response he received from his master was not friendly, Pan persevered, and got up and leaned towards Sandy.

Sandy was even more polite, this time he kicked him directly, and kicked Pan with his foot, resolutely not letting Pan come over.

Well, no matter how perfect the scene is, there are all kinds of shameless shots.

Although Pan failed to do so, Sandy was clearly distracted and began to compete with Pan single-mindedly.

This is not bad, at least Sandy is no longer sad, and Li Mu decided to reward Pan with a chicken leg for dinner.

Although he didn't complete the task, he dodged and dodged Mason, who had made a meritorious service, and took Pan back away, and Sandy finally turned his attention back to Li Mu.

"Actually, I already knew... Will went to Washington this time to see the woman and my brother..."Sandy didn't let go of Li Mu, but raised his face slightly and gave Li Mu a sly smile, like a little fox who had successfully stolen chickens.

"You, you know..."Li Mufeng was messy, and he didn't know who revealed the news to Sandy.

"I already knew, not only me, Gloria also knew, we just didn't talk about it, it depends on how long Will can endure it..."

That's right, this is normal, as Will's close-fitting little padded jacket, how could he watch his father have been immersed in the pain of losing his mother, he may not understand when he was young, but as time goes by, Sandy and Gloria will eventually understand that their father is no longer an omnipotent superman, but a normal person with flesh and blood.

"Great, I'm going to tell Will..."Li Mu decided to have someone send a telegram to Will immediately, I'm afraid that after receiving the call, Will will rush back with Claudia and the child overnight.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but admonish: "If you see Claudia, you can't talk about that woman." ”

It doesn't matter if you say it behind your back, after all, the stepmother and daughter will not be as close as the biological mother and daughter anyway, and Li Mu did not expect Sandy to call her mother as soon as she saw Claudia, but she couldn't call "that woman" directly, otherwise she would be caught in the middle, and it would be Will who would be embarrassed, and don't think about living in peace at Christmas.

"Are you stupid for me? My etiquette lessons weren't for nothing. Sandy squinted at Li Mu, her face full of contempt.

The blue eyes are like the Milky Way in the sky on a summer night, the long eyelashes flickering thrillingly, the perfect melon seed face is dotted with a few faint freckles, the high nose bridge is full of sculptural three-dimensionality, the clear lip line is like the character of a little girl, love and hate are clear, through the full lips of the slight opening, you can see the white teeth fleeting...

Li Mu was secretly frightened and pushed Sandy out in his arms, wanting to keep a safe distance.

Sandy, who originally closed his eyes slightly and opened his teeth slightly, his face was already red, but he still insisted on slowly approaching Li Mu, was very annoyed, twisted his body to avoid Li Mu's arm, and hummed and chirped in his mouth like Pan just now, his legs were raised, his waist flashed, and he actually straddled Li Mu's lap.

Li Mu found out that Sandy was over 1.7 meters tall unconsciously, and sitting on Li Mu's lap, he actually felt condescending.

This action... It's not good to push it outward, Sandy's arm has already hugged Li Mu's neck, Li Mu's hand is on Sandy's waist, as long as it is lifted up a little, then it will definitely touch a part of the shoe as long as you dare to write.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph..."Sandy snorted proudly, in fact, at this time, Yang Tian let out a string of laughter similar to a witch's "oh roar roar..."

God is pitiful, God and God can testify, this is the first time in Li Mu's life that he is so close to a girl, and it is such a shameful ambiguous shape, almost in an instant, the little sister who has always been suddenly turned into an elf who broke into the city by mistake from the forest, Li Mu suddenly flashed a sentence in his mind at this time: Life is like that, if you can't resist, then let's stop.

Well, as described above, all the exciting scenarios are full of intrusions.

Li Mu didn't wait for a sweet kiss, but what he waited for was a loud shout: "What are you doing?" ”

There is no doubt in this voice that the only one who dares to disturb Li Mu's good things at this time can only be Gloria.

Li Mu and Sandy are like virtual heroes who want to amplify their moves, and the moment they hear Gloria's voice, they both have a stiffness of a few tenths of a second.

But after the stiff time, Sandy's first reaction was to kiss him regardless of it, and Li Mu's first reaction was to hold Sandy firmly in his arms.

Well, this was just Li Mu's subconscious protective move, but he also successfully avoided Sandy's raid.

Sandy, who was firmly embraced, struggled hard, but could no longer succeed, because Gloria had already carried the hood on the back of Sandy's neck and pulled Sandy out of Li Mu's arms.

Sandy struggled for a long time, but still couldn't escape Gloria's clutches, and by the time Sandy finally stood firm, Li Mu had already gotten up from the chair.

Tears spilled out of Sandy's big eyes in an instant, and this time it was really not pretending to be pitiful.

Li Mu's heart suddenly throbbed as if he had been scratched by a cat, and then looked back at Gloria with an angry face, and the first snow that was already dripping, Li Mu suddenly had a very strange feeling, like a husband who was fooling around outside was caught by his wife.

Li Mu wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but he couldn't find the right language.

"I hate you!" Sandy was very direct, shook Gloria away, and ran in the direction of the dock crying.

Well, I don't need to explain it now.

"You're too much, Sandy is still a kid." Gloria gritted her teeth, her eyes as if there was fire.

Li Mu immediately explained honestly: "We talked about Will and Claudia, so..."

Li Mu couldn't care about whether Gloria could accept Claudia at this time, at this time, it was better to throw Will out of the top bag first.

In any case, Will is Gloria's father, and this relationship cannot be changed, and Li Mu and Gloria, although they seem to have an ambiguous relationship, may be strangers at any time because of a certain change, so it is better to die and not die.

In this regard, Li Mu and Will can also be regarded as difficult brothers.

What is a brother?

If he can help Li Mu survive this catastrophe, presumably Will will not mind.

Uh-huh, it should be...

No, definitely.

"Fuck off, Sandy is not an adult now, how can you be like this with her?" Gloria was also dizzy.

You can't be like this if you're an adult...

That is, if you are an adult...

Stop, if you think about it any longer, you will immediately evolve from a "bastard" to a "scumbag".
