Chapter 549 Why not turn against each other? Are you saving your temper for the New Year?

Lu Qiaoge didn't treat Sister Lin as a fellow learner either; they felt they got along quite well.

After all, it was originally a military factory.

She happily took the bus with Sister Lin to Old Li's house.

Li Zhenhui eats lunch in the cafeteria and rarely comes back.

I don't know why, but I came back in a bad mood today.

Lu Qiaoge stopped Sister Lin, who was walking forward, and instead of saying she wanted to watch the excitement, she said, "Wait a bit before going in."

It would be better to go in after the commotion has died down.

Lu Qiaoge didn't think there was anything wrong with Old Mrs. Li's views. It's perfectly reasonable for her to not want to take care of her children anymore now that she's raised them.

However, we can't ignore this issue while interfering in other people's marital problems. Therefore, this person still needs to be educated.

Then, Old Mrs. Li's angry voice rang out from the courtyard: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you heartless wretch! How good I usually am to you! How many meals you've cooked and how many chores you've done when you're home? Every time I see you working, I tell you to rest and then I always order Cui Min to do the work!"

Li Zhenhui, who was about to push the door open and go in, stopped in his tracks.

His brows furrowed deeply.

I didn't hear Xiaomin mention this.

Given Xiaomin's personality, she should have complained to her mother about her mother's favoritism towards her sister-in-law.

His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into tight fists.

The commotion continued in the courtyard, and the onlookers, with malicious intent, remained silent. No one reminded the people in the courtyard that the youngest son of the family had returned and was standing outside the door.

Old Mrs. Li continued pointing at the west room and scolding, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you used to say I was better than your own mother, that you would take good care of me, huh? What, is this how you take good care of me? What time is it? You knew Cui Min ran back to her parents' house, why didn't you come back earlier to cook for me? You came back so late, and you even pretended to have a headache and didn't cook. What do you want to do? Come out, come out right now, eldest son, you good-for-nothing, are you just going to watch your old mother go hungry?"

Li Zhenguo walked out angrily, looked at his mother sitting in the chair with a strong voice, and lowered his voice: "Mom, can you keep your voice down? What's so glorious about this? The children are all home, and the neighbors are watching. Why are you saying all this? I'm hungry, and my wife has a terrible headache. She was so sick she was vomiting. Please, just this once, cook something. My wife and I have to go to work, and the kids have to go to school..."

Old Mrs. Li glared at her eldest son's room with disgust, gritting her teeth as she said, "Stop pretending, Huang Yujie. I taught you this trick. You fooled me, deceived me, and sided with you, so I really thought you were a good person. You know I don't like Cui Min, so you joined me in badmouthing her behind her back. Originally, it was supposed to be a day of housework for you sisters-in-law, but when it was your turn to cook, I told you to pretend to have a headache. I also told you that if Cui Min saw through your act, you should just gag. It's easy to fake, and even at the hospital, they wouldn't be able to tell. You did a great job, always fooling Cui Min. Otherwise, I would have deliberately sent you to buy things... What, you heartless bastard, you've forgotten all this? You've only been busy for a few days and you can't take it anymore, pointing your finger at me and cursing me... Ah..."

The silent onlookers exchanged bewildered glances.

I really didn't know Mrs. Li was like this.

A master! A true master!

Mrs. Li didn't want to fall out with her, especially not with her eldest daughter-in-law.

I just confronted her directly: I'm exhausted from a whole morning, and when I get home I still have to cook for you. You're always so idle, can't you do something or cook something?

Finally, I cursed her: "You're so lazy! Why do you still use your hands to eat every day? Just put a big pancake around your neck and take a bite when you're hungry."

Listen to this, is this what a human being says?

Why not turn against each other? Are you going to keep them around until the New Year?

Li Zhenguo didn't intend to do anything, but he heard snickers and several people talking outside the courtyard.

That's so embarrassing.

Before, when Cui Min was cooking, I didn't realize how many things were going on at home. But now that my sister-in-law Cui Min isn't coming home anymore, things have suddenly become chaotic.

He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Mom, stop talking. I'll go cook, okay? Just sit here and wait for me to finish cooking and bring the food out for you, okay?"

These words were spoken with resentment.

Only a fool wouldn't be able to tell. Obviously, Mrs. Li isn't a fool; of course she could tell.

She wasn't upset when her daughter-in-law talked back to her like that, but she couldn't stand it when her son said those things to her.

Slapping his thigh, he started wailing. Huang Yujie, his face flushed from being scolded, pushed open the door and said with an ugly expression, "Is this ever going to end? You've messed up one person, and now you want to mess up the next one? You may not care about your reputation, but we do."

Li Zhenguo angrily retorted, "How dare you talk to my mother like that?"

Huang Yujie sneered, "Is that your mother? Isn't that your Li family's ancestor?"

Mrs. Li stood up angrily, saying that the insults were too nasty, and that she was being called shameless in front of so many people.

She's going to tear her apart.

I used to think she was very caring, but now I realize she's not as good as Cui Min.

Although Cui Min has a bad temper, she is very efficient at her work. Even when she is unhappy, throwing things, cursing and swearing, she keeps working without stopping.

By the time she finished grumbling, she had also finished her work.

But this mouth is still so annoying.

Not a single one of them is good.

She shouted, "You shameless shrew who needs to be taught a lesson! Divorce me! Divorce me, all of you!"

Huang Yujie sneered, "Are you crazy? You weren't satisfied with just asking your youngest son to get a divorce, now you're planning to make us get divorced too? You're too ruthless."

The old lady lunged at Huang Yujie, and Li Zhenguo instinctively tried to pull his mother away. Li Zhenhui, his face ashen, pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.

Do all of them treat his wife like a beast of burden?

"You're all ganging up on my wife, what? Do you think I'm dead? Eating is such a chore. If even cooking requires such scheming and plotting, then we might as well just dig out the kitchen and stop using it altogether..."

When Li Zhenhui actually went to the kitchen, Li Zhenguo tried to pull him away, and Old Mrs. Li also tried to stop her youngest son, causing chaos in the yard.

Lu Qiaoge slowly entered the courtyard.

The onlookers said, "Why didn't I see Director Lu? How did she get here?"

"I don't know."

"It was a coincidence, but it was also a lucky coincidence."

"Director Lu, I have something to tell you. Old Liu's family upstairs has a dog that likes to squat at my door every day, scaring my child several times. You have to do something about this."

Lu Qiaoge paused for a moment, then told Xiao Cangcang, who was watching the commotion, "Tell Huanghuang to go and see what's going on."

Lu Qiaoge immediately asked, "Master, where do you live? I'll go and see you in a bit."

The driver gave him the address and then decided to continue standing at the door watching the commotion.

Sister Lin followed them into the courtyard.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Qiaoge, Old Mrs. Li immediately stopped crying. She wanted to question Lu Qiaoge, "What are you doing here, you scoundrel?" Although her daughter-in-law was infuriating, she didn't really want Lu Qiaoge to uphold justice for her.
