Chapter 409 Filling the Hole in Life with Malice
Lin Anan watched the two little guys running around in the room. Chu Mingyu's nose was almost touching the glass, and he stared at the sun in the sky without even feeling the pain in his eyes.
Lin Anan went over, blindfolded him, and brought him back.
"Be careful not to hurt your eyes."
The sound of a bucket mopping the floor came from the corridor.
After a while, the sound of a brush was heard again.
Lin Anan walked to the door and saw Grandma Zhang bending over and brushing the handrail.
This old man is really particular.
Lin Anan leaned close to Chu Minglan's ear and said a few words. In fact, it was just a brief introduction, but the little girl was very active and immediately stepped forward to help, "Grandma, let me help you."
When Grandma Zhang looked up and met Chu Minglan's clear eyes, she liked it and said, "No, no, I just brought some water when I came back, just brush it casually."
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Grandma Zhang smiled and looked at Lin Anan, "Translator Lin is indeed a learned man, he has educated his children very well."
"Grandma Zhang, why are you still so polite? Just call me An An. This is my younger brother and sister, Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu."
"So they are the two little kids from Captain Chu's family! They are really cool."
Chu Mingyu also leaned over to say hello, "Hello, grandma."
But... after saying hello, he muttered again: "Grandma is so nice, why is the sister-in-law downstairs so weird..."
"What's so strange?" asked Grandma Zhang.
Chu Minglan was closest to Grandma Zhang, so she whispered to her about the incident that had just happened.
The smile on Grandma Zhang's face disappeared. "I was wondering what she was doing in such a hurry! Turns out she was just gossiping about you."
"ah?"
Grandma Zhang lowered her voice, worry showing through the corners of her wrinkled eyes, "She told everyone that there was something wrong with the neighbor on the second floor. She even treated the relatives who came to ask for money with her badly. She was arrogant and quite mean."
Lin Anan stood there in a daze!
She never imagined that refusing a bunch of moldy persimmons would be misinterpreted like this?
Chu Mingyu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. "She's talking nonsense! She gave my sister-in-law the moldy persimmon cakes. My sister-in-law said she's allergic to persimmons, but she forced her to eat them!"
Grandma Zhang cried out "Ouch!" and quickly washed her hands and dried them on her apron. "Don't be angry, little brother. Grandma will give you some candy."
He then hurriedly comforted Lin An'an, "Don't pay attention to her! The Wu family's daughter-in-law has always been like this. Last year, she said that Lao Wang from the kitchen team stole her coal briquettes, but it turned out that her younger brother from her mother's family exchanged them for wine. Her family is full of bad people."
Chu Minglan looked a little serious. She helped Grandma Zhang clean up the remaining handrails before returning to Lin Anan. "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Don't take what she said to heart. We won't come here often in the future."
The little girl's tone carried a maturity that didn't belong to a twelve-year-old, and her expression was exactly like that of a little animal protecting its cubs.
Lin Anan reached out and patted her arm gently, "It's okay, I'm not afraid! Besides, this is your brother Zihuai's home, we can come whenever we want."
Grandma Zhang brought out three kinds of candies, divided them among the two little ones, and stuffed two for Lin Anan, "Listen to grandma's advice, don't bother with her. She has a bad reputation, and no one pays attention to her. She feels aggrieved, so she bites anyone she catches."
"fine."
In fact, Grandma Zhang was only half right.
Ma Chunyan didn't know that Lin Anan was the famous translator Lin, and she didn't know that her man was Chu Mingzhou, otherwise she wouldn't dare.
But she can't catch and bite everyone.
Ma Chunyan thought that Lin Anan was just a poor relative of the new resident who didn’t even know what persimmon cakes were and was humiliating her.
While disparaging Lin Anan, she also wanted to give the new residents a warning and let them know how capable the Horse King is.
I thought I would scare them first, then sell them some good stuff, and they will be obedient in the future.
Lin Anan pinched the fruit candy given by Grandma Zhang, and the candy wrapper made a tiny crunching sound under her fingertips.
Chu Mingyu stuffed the candy into his mouth angrily, his cheeks puffed up like a little hamster: "Bad woman! Knowing that my sister-in-law is pregnant with my brother, she gave her moldy persimmon cakes. I'm going to ask my brother to punish her!"
Lin Anan gently rubbed his head and said, "We can't solve problems with violence."
Grandma Zhang waved her hands hurriedly, "No! Captain Chu is busy with all kinds of things, how can he be distracted by such a small matter? This is the character of the Wu family's daughter-in-law, you should all stay away from her."
Lin Anan suddenly remembered how Ma Chunyan emphasized "the man is the instructor" when she introduced herself.
Behind this woman's arrogance lies a deep inferiority complex.
Just like Grandma Zhang said, she elevates herself by belittling others and fills the emptiness in her life with malice.
Very boring.
Lin Anan nodded, "Yes, Grandma Zhang is right, they are all trivial matters."
Seeing that Lin Anan was really not angry, Grandma Zhang thought that this girl was good, had a big heart, and could accomplish great things. "Then you guys are busy. I'll go back first."
"Okay."
The midday sun gradually grew warmer. Lin Anan and the others sat at home for a while, put everything in order, and then went back.
"We won't cook lunch at noon. Let's go to the office cafeteria to eat."
"Great~"
The three of them walked over slowly and just caught the food coming out of the pot.
"An An girl!"
Chen Tiezhu's wife had sharp eyes and spotted Lin Anan at a glance.
"Sister-in-law, are you and Brother Zhuzi doing well lately?"
"We are fine, come and sit down, I will prepare the food for you."
"Okay, then sister-in-law will arrange it."
When Lin Anan and the others followed Chen Tiezhu's wife to the dining table, Chu Mingyu was attracted by the stewed pork with pickled cabbage at the next table...
Lin Anan saw him twitching his little nose and swallowing his saliva, which was very cute.
"Sister-in-law, give me some sauerkraut stewed with meat."
"no problem."
There was a thin layer of water vapor on the glass windows of the cafeteria. Lin Anan looked through the foggy glass and saw Ma Chunyan walking in with a lunch box.
The woman changed into a blue cotton shirt and a cotton jacket and painted her lips red, making her stand out in the crowd.
Lin Anan frowned and turned her head away, pretending not to see.
Ma Chunyan's behavior was very consistent with her personality. As soon as she entered the door, she complained loudly to the cook who was serving the food. Her saliva almost splashed into the food, attracting dissatisfied glances from people around her.
After getting the food, she waited for another female comrade, and then the two of them walked away arm in arm.
Even through the air, Lin Anan felt like she could hear her chatter, and her hair stood on end unconsciously...
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
The boredom in my heart gradually turned into a sigh.
"The dishes are here." Chen Tiezhu's wife brought three dishes, one meat and two vegetables.
Chu Mingyu's eyes lit up and he immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”
Seeing that he was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit with his cheeks puffed up, Lin Anan started to praise him.
But that's how kids are, they always think food outside tastes better.
"An An, the son of the Shi family is going to get married, did you know?"
When the three of them were almost done eating, Chen Tiezhu's wife was almost done with her work. She wiped her hands and sat next to Lin Anan to chat.
