Chapter 321 Dissatisfaction
3 p.m.
Gu Yihan accompanied Hao Hao to take a nap on the second floor.
Lu Huailin was tidying up the rooster his wife had bought yesterday in the yard.
Mr. Lu walked in carrying an electric toy car and an airplane model.
He shouted loudly, "You brat, where's my grandson?"
Hearing his father's voice, Lu Huailin looked up at him and said, "Dad, keep your voice down, Hao Hao is sleeping!"
"Why are you sleeping at this hour?"
As Lu Huailin cleaned the chicken's innards, he replied with a smile, "He woke up early this morning."
Following behind Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu's face suddenly turned cold when she saw her youngest son cleaning the chickens.
cheapskate
Lu Huailin felt his mother's gaze and looked up past her.
He said to his father, "Dad, why don't you go inside and rest for a while?"
"Eh."
Mr. Lu happily carried a large bag of things and went into the house with a cheerful smile.
Although I didn't get to see my beloved grandson right away, he's already here, so there's no rush.
Lu's mother gave Lu Huailin a cold look, then limped back into the house and sat on the sofa.
Looking at Mr. Lu's excited face, I thought for a moment,
He spoke in a consultative tone, "Old Lu, what do you think about us taking Hao Hao to our house for a few days?"
Mr. Lu glanced at Mrs. Lu without saying anything, stood up, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and sat down on the sofa.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
"I'm Hao Hao's biological grandmother, how could I possibly harm him?"
Mr. Lu glanced at Mrs. Lu and said indifferently, "Give up on that idea. I will not let Hao Hao live with you."
Mrs. Lu seemed to have heard a joke. She stared at Mr. Lu with wide eyes and demanded, "What do you mean?"
Seeing that Lu's mother was pretending not to know, Mr. Lu sneered, "Have you ever sent Hao Hao anything since he was born?"
"Don't you send them several times a year?"
What's the difference between you sending it and me sending it?
Before Lu's father could reply.
Gu Yihan led Hao Hao downstairs, and when she saw Lu's father and mother sitting on the sofa, she was stunned for a moment.
He then beamed and said, "Dad, Mom, you're here?"
Upon hearing Gu Yihan's voice, Mr. Lu smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Hao Hao: "Hao Hao, do you recognize me?"
Hao Hao nodded his little head, curiously looking at his kind-faced father, Lu, and said in his childish voice, "It's Grandpa."
"My mom said that the milk powder I drink is sent by my grandpa."
"Hey, my grandson is so smart."
As she spoke, she stood up, strode over to Hao Hao, bent down, picked him up, and then lifted him above her head.
After taking off, Hao Hao chuckled.
At this moment, Lu Huailin walked in and, seeing his father's movements, worried that he might have strained his back.
He added worriedly, "Dad, be careful with your back."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu, holding Hao Hao, turned around and glared at Lu Huailin, saying irritably, "You brat? Don't you want me to be happy?"
Mrs. Lu, with a long face, looked at Mr. Lu's smiling face and sneered inwardly.
My heart is completely biased towards my armpit.
Why don't I see him appreciating Miaomiao, the eldest son's daughter, so much?
Gu Yihan went upstairs and brought out some snacks and melon seeds, placing them on the coffee table.
He glanced at Lu's expressionless mother and said with a smile, "Mom, have some snacks to treat yourself."
When Lu's mother turned her head and saw the chocolate-covered liquor and melon seeds on the table, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
While her Miaomiao is still eating yellow dust in the Northwest, Gu Yihan is doing well, with all her snacks being imported goods from the Friendship Store.
Is she deliberately showing off how good her life is?
Mr. Lu sat on the sofa with Hao Hao in his arms. "Hao Hao, Grandpa bought you a toy. Do you like it?"
After saying that, he opened the cloth bag and displayed a brand-new, shiny car and an exquisite airplane model in front of Hao Hao.
Hao Hao opened his mouth wide, quickly hugged the toy to his chest, and touched it here and there with great affection.
Looking at Hao Hao's delighted expression, Mr. Lu felt a surge of pride.
In the kitchen
While chopping vegetables, Gu Yihan complained, "Did you see your mother's face?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Huailin asked, puzzled.
"He had a long face, not a smile on his face, as if I owed him millions and he wouldn't pay me back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about her."
Anyway, she went home after dinner.
"snort."
Gu Yihan turned her head away and ignored Lu Huailin.
One hour later
"Dad, Mom, dinner's ready."
Lu Huailin brought the last dish to the table and called out to his father, who was playing with toy cars with Hao Hao.
"They're here."
Mr. Lu picked up Hao Hao and carried him to the dining table, sitting him down in the chair to his right as he looked at the table full of delicious dishes.
A slight smile played on her lips. "Do you have any wine at home?"
Lu Huailin placed a bowl of rice in front of him and shook his head, saying, "No."
Mr. Lu sighed and said, "It would be a shame not to drink with such good food."
Seeing that Lu's mother was sitting on the sofa without moving, Gu Yihan walked over to her side and said softly, "Mom, dinner is ready."
Lu's mother gave a faint "hmm," stood up, and limped over.
Gu Yihan was stunned for a moment when she saw the way Lu's mother walked.
Lu's mother kept observing Gu Yihan's facial expression out of the corner of her eye, and saw the fleeting surprise in her eyes.
A surge of anger welled up inside me.
She felt both inferior and embarrassed by being ridiculed by her daughter-in-law.
Gu Yihan kept her gaze fixed on Lu's mother's legs, trying her best not to look at her.
To prevent her from overthinking.
Lu's mother sat down next to Lu's father and saw that there was chicken, fish, and a plate of stir-fried meat slices on the table.
My heart sank.
Since the last loan incident, Mr. Lu has kept his salary himself and hasn't let her touch it again.
As a result, Lu's mother's meager retirement pension was not enough to support Lu's elder brother, who lived in the far northwest.
Seeing how well Lu Huailin's family was living, she felt sorry for her eldest son.
Thinking of this, Lu's mother deliberately cleared her throat, "Xiao Han, Mom has a few words to tell you."
Gu Yihan withdrew her chopsticks, looked up at Lu's mother, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Mom, please speak."
Seeing Gu Yihan's gentle attitude, Lu's mother immediately sat up straight.
He put on airs like an elder: "As the old saying goes, you won't go poor from eating or dressing, but you will go poor if you don't plan ahead."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Gu Yihan's eyes, then she looked up, clapped her hands, and said in an exaggerated manner, "Mom, you're absolutely right."
"In this life, one must eat well and dress well."
"So that we don't lose people and money before we even spend it, and then we're left feeling terribly cheated!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin almost burst out laughing and quickly reached out to pick up a chicken wing and put it in his mouth.
Upon hearing Gu Yihan's words, Lu's mother's face turned ashen, and she said coldly, "I heard from Huailin that you're not going to work anymore?"
Gu Yihan nodded casually and gave a perfunctory "hmm".
"Then why do you still buy so many luxury liqueur-filled chocolates?"
After saying that, he tapped the table with his chopsticks, making a "bang, bang" sound.
"Look at this, just the few of us, and we've cooked so many dishes."
Lu Huailin really didn't understand his mother's thoughts, seeing that she still wanted to find fault with his wife.
He stood up abruptly.
"Mom, these dishes are specially prepared for Dad."
When Lu Huailin heard what he said, Lu's mother's head exploded.
She felt that everyone in the Lu family was bullying her and treating her like an outsider, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Staring intently at Lu Huailin, she blurted out, "You're a heartless ingrate! I risked my life to give birth to you after carrying you for ten months."
"In the end, all you care about is your father?"
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have thrown you into a chamber pot and drowned you after you were born!"
Seeing that his wife was going too far, Mr. Lu slammed his hand on the table and shouted sternly, "Alright, if you don't want to eat, get out!"
