Chapter 478: Fetching Water with a Basket in Empty Hands



Chapter 480: A Wasteful Journey

Despite being ridiculed by A-mei Li, Mrs. Lu was not angry and continued to look at Li A-mei with a tone of contempt and pity.

"Sister Li, sister Li...hahahaha...you can control our Lu family, but I can't control you? What platoon leader, what disfigurement, what disability...I just said it on purpose to scare you! I knew you were ungrateful. When you heard my son's conditions, you definitely wouldn't marry your daughter to him."

"Hahahaha... I just didn't expect you to think of letting someone else impersonate me. I'm surprised you could think of that... Now, that person is the captain's wife, and you and your daughter still don't know what you lost. Hahahaha... You deserve it!"

"Sister Li, I told you not to despise the poor and love the rich! You deserve to end up with nothing!"

Old Mrs. Lu told the truth completely.

After all, they have been neighbors for many years. How could she not see through Li A'mei's true nature? So she deliberately concealed Lu Zhanlin's information in order to force out Li A'mei's ugly face.

Old Mrs. Lu originally thought that A-mei Li would at most break off the engagement, so that the Lu family could get back the money they had given to A-mei Li over the years.

Unexpectedly, Li A'mei actually came up with the idea of ​​having someone marry her instead, and no one knew who that girl was.

That girl has been in the military area for quite some time, and there has been no news from Lu Zhanlin. I guess the two of them are getting along.

Old Mrs. Lu didn't care who Lu Zhanlin married. Her eldest son had always been independent-minded since he was young, and he was thousands of miles away from home after joining the army. As long as they knew that he was still alive and that money was sent to them every month, that was enough.

Generally, elderly people like to keep their youngest son by their side, and Mrs. Lu is one of them.

She has two sons and one daughter, and lives on the money sent back by her eldest son. She also used the money from selling her eldest daughter as a dowry to find a wife for her youngest son. Now her youngest son is by her side every day, and she has grandchildren. Her life is quite fulfilling.

Especially after she had vented her anger on Li A'mei.

After saying this proudly, Mrs. Lu took the little girl's hand, not bothering to look at A-mei Li's gloomy face, and turned away with a swagger.

Li A'mei stood there in a daze, her face turning pale and blue, and she could hardly speak.

Chu Yaoyao also couldn't believe it, but Mrs. Lu was so arrogant that it didn't seem like she was lying.

She asked hesitantly, "Mom... is what this damn old woman said true? Lu Zhanlin... is Lu Zhanlin really the leader? Then Chu Yue will get the upper hand!"

Chu Yue went to marry in place of someone else, and unexpectedly became the wife of the regiment leader!

Not only did she not keep her university place, she was even kicked out!

They were clearly plotting against others, so how could they end up with nothing?

"Impossible... Impossible... I don't believe it!" Li A'mei suffered a serious psychological blow and could not accept the reality before her. Even though she had doubts in her heart, she was still deceiving herself.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! How could Lu Zhanlin be the head of a group? It must be Old Lady Lu who is lying!"

Li A-mei, overcome with emotion, grabbed a nearby villager and demanded, "Tell me! Is the Lu family's soldier son really a regimental commander? Is that true?"

"If you ask me... I don't know... Old Mrs. Lu never talks about this kind of thing, no matter how you ask. But... the Lu family suddenly built a new house this year, and it's a two-story building. If you don't believe me, go and take a look. That house cost a lot of money. Even the village chief's family can't afford to build such a nice house."

When Li A'mei heard this, she immediately pushed the villagers away and ran towards Lu's house.

"Mom, wait for me..."

Chu Yaoyao quickly picked up her bags and went to chase after Li A'mei who was running out.

They walked around the village and soon arrived at Old Lady Lu's house.

The towering two-story house is the best house in the village. The gate is extremely large and a plaque with the words "Glorious Home" is hung on the door.

From the moment Li A-mei saw the house, she felt a chill in her heart.

She collapsed to the ground with a thud, "We were cheated! Yaoyao, we were cheated! Why is my sister Li so miserable... Why is her life so miserable... How could such a good son-in-law be given to that cheap girl Chu Yue... How could he be given to someone else..."

Li A'mei cried, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

This time, she was no longer acting hypocritically, but was truly heartbroken.

"It's gone... everything is gone... I've been planning and planning... how could it be all in vain in the end... nothing is left..."

"Mom, is Lu Zhanlin really the commander of the army?" Chu Yaoyao was still in doubt at this time.

Li A'mei looked at Chu Yaoyao with eyes swollen from crying, and said inconsolably, "My daughter...my Yaoyao...you could have been the wife of the regiment leader...that's the regiment leader...you could have lived a life of luxury...Mrs. Lu, you have such a cruel heart! How dare you lie to me! Lied to me! Now all this belongs to Chu Yue! It all belongs to someone else! Yaoyao, why are we mother and daughter so miserable? Wuuuuu..."

Although Chu Yaoyao was willful, at this time, she did not blame Li A'mei for her evil ideas, which caused her to lose the high position of "the captain's wife" by accident.

She gritted her teeth and thought about it.

"Mom, we absolutely can't let Chu Yue get away with it. Lu Zhanlin's engagement is mine. It was a mistake before. Can't we just change it back?"

'What? What did you say? Change... back?'

"Yes, I am willing to marry Lu Zhanlin now. Chu Yue has always wanted to go to college and study. Then let's switch places. She goes to study, and I go to marry Lu Zhanlin and join the army." Chu Yaoyao said beautifully.

Li A-mei had already felt that the sky had fallen and there was no turning back.

But now after hearing what Chu Yaoyao said...

"Change it back... yes, change it back... the engagement is ours, not that girl Chu Yue's! Even if she doesn't want to, we have to change it back!"

When Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao looked at each other, the greed in the eyes of mother and daughter was exactly the same.

Therefore, Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao only stayed in the village for one night.

Li A'mei did not go to the Lu family to make trouble because she knew that Old Lady Lu was there and would never give them any information.

She went to the village party secretary's house and the village chief's house to make trouble, because the village party secretary and the village chief must have Lu Zhanlin's unit number and specific location.

After receiving this information, Li A'mei immediately returned to the city's train station the next day, carrying bags and Chu Yaoyao, bought two train tickets to the southwest, and set off in a hurry.

These things happened a few months ago. Logically, the train would have been on the road for three or four days at most, and they would have already arrived in the southwest and caused trouble in the military region.

How could it take several months to appear?
