Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao both enjoyed the envious looks and the feeling of being superior.
Since it was close to the Qingming Festival, when people asked them why they came back, Li A-mei gave a unified answer that they came back to repair their ancestral graves and to pray for a good omen.
When the villagers heard that they were going to spend money to repair their ancestral tombs, their eyes widened and they kept praising them, saying that city people are different...
Chu Yaoyao was even more immersed in it, and she wore her most beautiful dress for the occasion. Many women and children surrounded her.
Among them are many of Chu Yaoyao’s childhood friends. Among them are several girls who are the same age as Chu Yaoyao. Because they did not receive any education, they got married and became pregnant early and are now pregnant with big bellies.
Even if a rural woman is pregnant, she still needs to work in the fields. She looks as haggard as if she is in her thirties even though she is less than twenty years old.
So the look in their eyes when they looked at Chu Yaoyao was particularly complicated, filled with envy and sadness.
And what Chu Yaoyao wants to enjoy is this feeling of being superior to others.
During this time, a little girl who was about four or five years old looked at Chu Yaoyao and asked crisply.
"Aunt Yaoyao, your skirt is so beautiful, so pretty, can I touch it?"
The little girl reached out with her dirty hands to grab Chu Yaoyao's skirt, which scared Chu Yaoyao so much that she took several steps back and slapped the little girl's hand away!
Chu Yaoyao said angrily, "You little bastard, who are you? How dare you touch my skirt with your dirty hands? Do you know how much this skirt of mine costs? Can you afford to pay for it if it gets dirty?"
The little girl was frightened by Chu Yaoyao's fierce tone. Her hand was hurt and she stepped back in horror. She sat down on the ground because she was too frightened.
“Waaaaaa…waaaaa…waaaaa…”
After the little girl fell down, she began to cry loudly, her cries were deafening.
Chu Yaoyao disliked the little girl for being dirty, so she didn't even lend a hand to help her. She just glanced at the little girl with disgust.
The other villagers started to chatter, "This girl... seems to be from the Lu family. Where is Mrs. Lu? Mrs. Lu, your granddaughter is crying, why don't you come over and see the child."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Old Mrs. Lu pushed the crowd aside and walked out. At first glance, she didn't look at the little girl who fell to the ground. Instead, she looked at Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao.
“Hahahaha…hahaha…I knew it would be like this…hahaha…I knew it…hahaha…”
When Old Lady Lu saw Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao clearly, she suddenly burst into laughter, and her laughter was so arrogant and proud.
As soon as the little girl on the ground saw Grandma Lu, she immediately ran up, hugged Grandma Lu's legs and shouted "Grandma".
Li A-mei listened to Mrs. Lu's laughter and spat, "Mrs. Lu, what's so funny? Shut up."
Old Lady Lu retorted, "Sister Li, this is your biological daughter, Li Yaoyao, right? Hahahaha... I knew it... I knew it... You would never let your daughter go with the army... When my son's life and death were in doubt, you begged and cried for my son's marriage. It was nothing more than you were after my family's money, the condolence money for my son's death. For so many years, you have been coveting our family's money from beginning to end, and you never thought of letting your daughter marry my son!"
This old lady Lu is Lu Zhanlin’s mother and also Chu Yaoyao’s old neighbor.
They are the only ones who know best why Chu Yaoyao and Lu Zhanlin were engaged back then.
Later, Lu Zhanlin was lucky enough not to die on the battlefield. Li A-mei, in the name of an engagement, said that Lu Zhanlin must support a wife and that she must share the money Lu Zhanlin sent back every month. The two families often quarreled over this.
Old Mrs. Lu had disliked A-mei Li for a long time, and had been harboring evil thoughts in her heart, wanting to find an opportunity to teach A-mei a lesson.
Anyway, Chu Yue has already joined the army. Li A-mei thinks that she has no weaknesses that can be exploited by the Lu family. Since Mrs. Lu said such harsh words, Li A-mei has nothing to worry about.
Li A-mei pulled Chu Yaoyao over and said, "You damn old woman, open your eyes and see clearly. My daughter is so young and beautiful, why would she marry your disfigured and disabled son! Haha, your son is just a soldier in the army. He has been in the army for so long and is still just a small platoon leader. My daughter really went to follow the army, and she can't even get a family room. How can you let her live! Anyway, I won't let my daughter marry your disabled son. Even if you are angry to death, I won't let her!"
After saying this, A-mei Li originally thought that she could make Old Lady Lu so angry that her face turned blue, and she would jump on the spot and look ugly.
But Mrs. Lu was not panicked at all, not even a little angry. Instead, she looked at A-mei Li with a smile.
"Li A-mei, Li A-mei, you just think you are smart and that you can scheme against others. But in fact you are just a big fool, a idiot, you don't even know that you are being schemed against. Haha... idiot... hahahaha..."
Old Mrs. Lu’s arrogant laughter never stopped.
Chu Yaoyao pulled on Li A-mei's sleeve, "Mom, what is this old woman talking about?"
Li A-mei looked at Old Lady Lu and suddenly felt panicked, as if something was escaping her control.
"Mrs. Lu, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you playing tricks on me? I'm telling you, don't think you can still control me. Someone has already married your son, Lu Zhanlin, but she's just another daughter of my sister Li. This isn't considered a marriage fraud!"
"That's right!" Chu Yaoyao chimed in, "My name isn't on the engagement. I'm not Li Yaoyao now, I'm Chu Yaoyao!"
"I don't care if you're Li Yaoyao or Chu Yaoyao. Haha, do you really think I'll beg you to marry my son?" Old Lady Lu snorted disdainfully. "I'm just laughing at your stupidity. Even at this point, you're still kept in the dark and don't even know what you've missed. I'll kindly tell you that my son is not just a platoon leader, but a regiment commander!"
When Li A-mei heard this, her first reaction was disbelief.
She didn't believe that the ordinary Lu family could actually produce a group leader!
"Mrs. Lu, what are you daydreaming about? Your son is the head of a group, and my daughter is a rich lady?! Don't think that I can be fooled by just a few words from you. I tell you! It's impossible!" A-mei Li exhaled sarcastically and spat on the ground.
Bah! If that Lu Zhanlin was the head of the military region, she, Li Amei, could be the head of the military region!
