Chapter 384 Change of Retirement Pension Recipient
Before we knew it, the day arrived to pick up Lu's mother and bring her to the family compound.
When Hao Hao returned after buying breakfast, he chattered away with Lu Huailin as they shared the porridge.
"Dad, the cafeteria lady asked me again in a sarcastic tone if Mom hadn't gotten up yet."
"Oh, what did you say?"
Lu Huailin asked casually.
Hao Hao raised his smug little eyes and vividly imitated his reaction at the time.
"I suddenly screamed and pointed at the corner of her eye, saying, 'Auntie, you have wrinkles at the corner of your eye. Have you been worrying too much?'"
After saying that, Hao Hao covered his mouth and laughed, "Then all the aunties' faces turned as black as soot from the bottom of a pot."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin paused for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Yihan got up very early and came downstairs while yawning, when she heard the father and son laughing.
With a slight upturn of her lips, she asked, "What's making you so happy?"
Upon hearing Gu Yihan's voice, Hao Hao turned around and ran to her side, pouting, "Mom, I was telling Dad a joke."
Lu Huailin glanced at Hao Hao with a smile in his eyes, thinking to himself that he hadn't spoiled his son for nothing.
He also knows not to say things that might upset his wife.
"Honey, I've finished tidying up the bedroom downstairs."
"Once Mom and the people who take care of her arrive, let them live together. That way, if anything happens, they can be taken to the hospital in time."
Gu Yihan: "Do you want me to go with you to pick up Mom?"
Lu Huailin looked up at her, smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need, you go to work with peace of mind, I'll take care of Mom."
Gu Yihan nodded.
Although she didn't want to go, she still needed to be polite.
When Lu Huailin said no, she readily agreed and remained silent.
After breakfast
Gu Yihan carried her handbag to the service station.
As soon as she entered, she saw Liu Yufang waving at her. Gu Yihan paused and quickly walked up to her.
He asked疑惑地问道, "Is something the matter?"
Liu Yufang pulled Gu Yihan to her side and whispered in her ear.
He whispered, "Zhang Yue's fiancé broke off their engagement yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Her life has been unlucky from blind dates to her engagement. I suspect that her fiancé is bringing her bad luck."
Liu Yufang rolled her eyes and gave a light snort.
"It's Director Chen's son who's back and caused a scene at Zhang Yue's fiancé's house."
"The man's parents think she's two-timing and immoral, so why would they want their son to marry a 'slut'?"
After saying that, she covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "The Zhang family has become the laughing stock in the family compound because of Zhang Yue's broken engagement."
"Her two married sisters were so angry when they found out that they came back and scolded her for disgracing the whole family and for being promiscuous."
Gu Yihan frowned slightly when she heard Liu Yufang repeatedly calling her a "broken shoe" and a "fickle woman."
She didn't want to hear other people's opinions.
They didn't think breaking off the engagement was a shameful thing.
Moreover, the man easily criticized Zhang Yue and broke off the engagement because of the trouble caused by Director Chen's son.
This proves that Zhang Yue's fiancé is not suitable for entrusting one's life to.
Gu Yihan knew that there was a generation gap between her thinking and those of these people.
Not wanting to say too much, he waved to leave, but Liu Yufang grabbed him.
Gu Yihan's expression darkened. She glanced at Liu Yufang's tightly clenched arm and tried to pull it away but failed.
Her voice came from beside me: "Zhang Yue's reputation in the family compound is already ruined. It won't be easy for her to find a good partner in the future."
"Don't get too close to her, lest she beg for your help when she's desperate in the future."
"And with her falling out with Director Chen so badly, it's hard to say whether he'll make things difficult for her in the future."
"If you get too close to her, you'll be implicated."
After saying that, she sighed and said, "Don't you think it would be better to just date and marry Director Chen's son?"
"They had to pull this stunt, and now look what happened, the ship has capsized!"
Gu Yihan listened to Liu Yufang speaking ill of Zhang Yue in a tone that seemed to be for her own good, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.
He interrupted, saying, "Who says dating necessarily means marriage?"
Liu Yufang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
He blurted out, "If he doesn't get married, Director Chen's son must be out of his mind to give up his job quota to Zhang Yue."
Gu Yihan said irritably, "This is a matter between Director Chen's son and Zhang Yue. They are both willing to be involved."
"It has nothing to do with us."
After Gu Yihan finished speaking, she abruptly pulled her arm away, didn't even look at Liu Yufang, and turned to leave.
She didn't want to hear people say things like Zhang Yue was promiscuous; it wasn't ancient times.
Why should men be the ones to argue and make a scene?
All the mistakes were borne by the women.
Liu Yufang stared blankly at Gu Yihan's departing figure, not understanding why she had suddenly become angry.
Back to the daily necessities counter
Gu Yihan glanced at Zhang Yue and saw that she looked listless with dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't rested well.
Zhang Yue sensed someone watching her and looked up to meet Gu Yihan's distressed eyes.
My nose tingled, and a sudden surge of grievance welled up inside me, followed by tears that fell one by one.
Gu Yihan didn't say anything, but took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to her.
Before I could even offer her a word of comfort, a whole host of military wives came to buy things.
Some military wives looked at Zhang Yue with disdain, while others remained silent, giving her meaningful glances.
Zhang Yue lowered her eyes and sat quietly, letting others look at her without saying a word.
On the other side
Lu Huailin first went to the landlord's house to inform him that he would no longer be renting the house to his mother.
Tell them to go and collect the house this afternoon.
He then drove to the neighborhood office and found the staff member in charge of distributing Lu's mother's retirement pension, and told them about Lu's mother's paralysis.
And I want to change the person who receives my salary on my behalf.
The staff member glanced at Lu Huailin, who was dressed in military uniform.
They refused, saying, "Changing the person who receives retirement pay requires the individual's consent."
Lu Huailin nodded and replied, "I know that."
“My mother is currently bedridden and unable to come to the site to agree to the changes. I would like to trouble you to make a trip and confirm it in person.”
Upon hearing this, the staff member paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Comrade Lu, please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the director."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Huailin's reply, he turned and ran away.
Ten minutes later,
When the staff member returned, he smiled and said to Lu Huailin, "The director agreed that I can go with you."
After saying that, he picked up the relevant documents, bid farewell to Lu Huailin, and went to Lu's mother's residence.
In order to get rid of Lu's mother as soon as possible, Brother Lu and Fang Yi took leave at the same time, which was very tacit.
When Lu Huailin led the staff from the subdistrict office to the courtyard.
The two of them were arguing about who should change Lu's mother's diaper.
Fang Yi screamed at the top of her lungs, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Whoever's mother it is, that's who should take care of her. If all else fails, you can hire a nanny."
"Anyway, that old hag didn't give birth to me or raise me, so it has nothing to do with me even if she dies."
Brother Lu stared intently at Fang Yi with a livid face. Ever since Lu Huailin came last time, he had told his younger brother to come and visit often before he left.
Fang Yi, having given up all hope, resolutely refused to get close to him. If she couldn't refuse, she would deliberately find an excuse to fight with him.
She would only go into the bedroom to help Lu's mother tidy up if she took a dollar from him.
