Chapter 41 Vampire Mother's Family

"I don't have a mother's family." Lu Qinniang said, with no emotion on her face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were an orphan..."

"I'm not an orphan." Lu Qin's mother said, "My parents are both alive and well. I'm worse than an orphan!"

Although orphans have no one to take care of them, at least they can have peace of mind.

Unlike her, her parents are not human beings. They sold her and then always wanted to squeeze money from her.

"Didn't I tell you?" Lu Qiniang said nonchalantly, "My father wanted to sell me off in order to have a son. I don't really resent them for this. They were afraid of cutting off their family line, and I understand."

But what she didn't understand and couldn't forgive was that they would sell themselves to such a dirty place just to make a few more taels of silver.

If her mother-in-law hadn't felt sorry for her and bought her home as a child bride, she would be...

I guess I don’t even know where I was reborn.

"I've severed ties with them," Lu Qiniang said. "I don't have any contact with them. But I took the three maids to the Zhou residence, and they came to ask me for money. At that time, I was afraid of losing my job at the Zhou residence, so I gave them some money and sent them away."

"Now, you should have heard that I have no money. It's finally quiet."

She said self-deprecatingly, "Everyone else hopes their daughter will have a good life, but they're just afraid I won't have one either. As soon as I feel comfortable, they'll immediately come and take advantage of me. But I don't tolerate bad habits, and I don't owe them anything anymore."

Now if someone from the Lu family comes to her house again, she won’t need to use a big broom to beat them out.

"But they won't come," Lu Qiniang added, "They're smart. They're probably afraid of getting involved with me and being asked for money."

No one cares about the poor in a busy city.

"I'll just pretend I don't have a mother's home, and I won't take the three of them back."

Xiao Yan nodded: "That's fine. Maybe it's a bit presumptuous of me to ask this, but are you their biological child?"

"I hope not! I always wonder, how can a mother not love her own child? I can't understand it. But do you know why I was born stronger than others?"

"Why?"

"Because my great-grandfather was a strong man who could lift a tripod." Lu Qiniang said, "My great-grandmother was a Hu woman, so if you look closely, you can actually see some slight differences between my nose and eyebrows."

Xiao Yan nodded.

That's true.

Lu Qinniang's appearance is worth scrutinizing. If she loses weight, she will look good too.

"You'll know if you meet my brothers and sisters from the Lu family."

They practically share a nose.

Where does all these twists and turns in his life come from?

Not loving children is a bad trait that a very few people have, and it can never be washed away.

"Then do you still keep in touch with your brothers and sisters from your mother's family?"

"No, my sisters are all married. I have a younger sister who is quite sharp-tongued. I heard she became a concubine of a rich man last year. My parents are so proud of their daughter now. She's promising, haha."

If I had never been to Zhou's house, I would really believe that "I would rather be a concubine of a rich man than a wife of a poor man."

Pooh!

What the hell is a concubine?

Not only is he a head shorter than his wife, but he also has to call the children in his belly "Master" and "Miss".

My children are sitting, and I am standing.

No matter what others say about Potian, in Lu Qinniang's eyes, this is all against Tiangang.

She couldn't handle that kind of blessing anyway.

"I have such a promising aunt!" Erya suddenly said, blinking her eyes. "Mother, does she wear gold and silver and call servants?"

"Get out of here!" Lu Qiniang slapped her on the back. "If you ever think of becoming someone's concubine, I'll beat you to death."

Erya: "...Who wants to be a concubine? I definitely want to be the wife. I just want to see how rich the rich can be. Do all the cats and dogs in the house wear gold locks?"

"Haha, that Ah Huang is waiting to wear gold and silver with you." Lu Qiniang rolled her eyes at her, "Good girl, can't you do more work? You think about these trivial things every day."

Erya snorted, "Aren't you afraid of being poor? When I have money, I'll send you money every month, and you won't have to work anymore."

"Your mother isn't old enough to need you to support her yet. Just live your own lives well, and that will be the best way to show your filial piety to me."

Erya didn't want to hear that and turned around to go into the house.

Lu Qiniang ignored her and watched Daya carving on the ice. "I'm not bragging, I think my daughter is the best, but look at me, Xiao Yan, when it comes to being clever and skillful, isn't Daya the best?"

I saw that Daya had already carved a trumpet creeper on the ice, with petals clearly defined and lifelike.

Xiao Yan nodded: "Zhao Zhao is indeed very talented."

San Ya said: "What about me, what about me?"

"Jiaojiao is also very good."

San Ya's face suddenly lit up with joy.

Xiao Yan brought the two girls with him and carved the ice into the shape of a small courtyard. The courtyard wall was covered with flowers, and Ah Huang was running happily in the yard.

"It's a pity that I can't carve figures yet, otherwise I would carve our whole family." Daya said regretfully.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to say he was coming, he heard Lu Qiniang say, "That's too much trouble. This is quite nice."

So Xiao Yan also followed suit: "That's great."

"Mom, mom, you actually hid the silver secretly!" Erya's voice sounded in the house, with great surprise.

Lu Qiniang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh no, oh no, she found the silver. This stinky girl, you've searched even the rat hole several times. Erya, don't move, that's not our silver!"

Erya: "Humph, just try to coax me, I'm not a child. Can others put money in our house?"

"Why not?"

Seeing that she could no longer hide the secret, Lu Qiniang told her children what Grandma Sun had asked her to do, and warned them not to tell anyone about it.

Daya said, "Don't worry, Mom. We all know what's going on and we won't tell anyone."

San Ya was a little confused, but nodded obediently: "My family is poor and we don't have any money."

Xiao Yan was amused by her cute look and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

To be honest, his favorite is San Ya.

Maybe it’s because I’m young and simple-minded.

Erya said, "Who is so kind as to send so much silver every year even though someone has died? Mother, could this also be the imperial pension? Has my father's share been embezzled again?"

When it comes to money, she becomes very cautious.

She has been sensitive throughout her life, especially about money.

"Impossible." Xiao Yan said, "As far as I know, the court has no follow-up compensation."

"Maybe he just met a good person." Lu Qiniang said, "Don't think about those nonsense. No one can covet this money, understand?"

"She's very good at hiding it," Erya muttered to Grandma Sun, "Why didn't she tell me earlier? If she had known, she would have borrowed money when my mother was sick."

"Nonsense! This is her coffin money. She's an old woman all alone, with no one to rely on. How can she feel at ease if she doesn't leave some money for herself? Oh, and I'm going to ask Doctor Hu to take a look at her—"

"What are you looking at?"

Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Doctor Hu came in carrying a medicine box.
