Lu Desheng's expression became solemn, and his son and daughter-in-law also said so, which shows that the matter is really serious.
"I understand. I won't contact her."
Lu Desheng promised not to contact Yuan Huilan and her daughter. Although he was not smart enough, he listened to the advice.
Mo Heping took a hitchhiking flight back to Beijing the next day. That same day, Yuan Huilan called him. It was Ruan Qiqi.
"Ruan Qiqi, what right do you have to hit Heping? I asked Heping to give the baby a full-month gift out of kindness, and it would be fine if you didn't thank me, but you actually hit Heping. Do you have any manners at all?"
Yuan Huilan's tone returned to its previous domineering tone. It seemed that she had been doing quite well in the capital during this period of time, which had boosted her arrogance.
"I was indeed rude to your family. I asked Mo Heping to take the full-month gift back. You don't have to send any one-year-old gifts in the future, because Lu Ye and I are severing our ties with you. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
Yuan Huilan's scolding came from the microphone. Ruan Qiqi was too lazy to listen and hung up decisively.
"Ruan Qiqi, how dare you! Say it again...dududududu..."
Yuan Huilan was furious and started cursing, but there was a beeping sound from the microphone. She was so angry that she smashed the phone and her whole face turned red.
This is outrageous! Ruan Qiqi is too bold. Don't think that giving birth to a grandson is a big deal. She won't buy it!
He is indeed from the countryside, without any manners, and is a piece of rotten mud that cannot even support the wall!
Yuan Huilan's face was distorted with anger. She had originally planned to transfer Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi to the capital to make up for what she had done to her son, but now she has changed her mind.
Ruan Qiqi dared to be so arrogant, it must be Lu Ye's indulgence. She wanted to leave these two people alone, let them reflect carefully, and figure out who in this family they can really rely on!
Relying on the reckless Lu Desheng and the unambitious Mo Qiufeng, the two of them will have to stay in that small place of Tanzhou all their lives and will never be able to make a name for themselves!
"Mom, calm down!"
Mo Heping handed over a cup of tea with a very respectful tone.
When she was in Tanzhou before, there was no habit of calling "you" by name. Even when facing elders, they would call them "you". But after arriving in the capital, Yuan Huilan asked her to abide by the local customs and call them "you".
Especially in front of Zhang Zhiguo, you must never be rude.
Mo Heping found it difficult to pronounce at first, but gradually got used to it.
"People in the countryside just lack education. I didn't agree with your second brother marrying her in the first place. I shouldn't have listened to your father. He has been playing it safe all his life. He has lost all his edges and corners and has no ambition at all."
Yuan Huilan kept cursing and then turned her attention to Mo Qiufeng, with deep resentment in her tone.
If Mo Qiufeng had been ambitious, he would definitely have found a place in the capital, and his place would have been no worse than Zhang Zhiguo's, and she would not have needed to marry Zhang Zhiguo.
Although Zhang Zhiguo treated her well, he always acted a little condescending, unlike Mo Qiufeng who respected her in life. However, although Zhang Zhiguo was a little chauvinistic, he did what he promised her. Now her rank was several levels higher than Tanzhou, and she could fully demonstrate her excellent abilities.
"Mom, she is the darling of the family now. Everyone dotes on her and her son. And that second aunt who came out of nowhere, an old lady from the countryside, has no sense of propriety at all. She puts her hands on me every time we meet. It's so annoying!"
Mo Heping continued to complain. The people she hated the most now were Ruan Qiqi and her son, and that inexplicable second aunt.
She hated Ruan Qiqi and her son for taking away her love.
Mo Heping looked down on Xie Taozhi simply because she came from the countryside.
"Go back less often in the future. Your father is getting more and more confused as he gets older!"
Yuan Huilan also thought that Xie Taozhi was a poor relative of the Mo family who came to beg for money, and her tone was full of disdain.
"Mom, Ruan Qiqi and my second brother both beat me up. I can't let this go. You are not allowed to transfer their jobs. You have to delay it for at least a year or two so that I can vent my anger."
Mo Heping started to act like a spoiled child. When she learned that her mother was planning to transfer Lu Ye and his wife to Beijing, she was actually angry.
This year she had put in a lot of effort and tried to please Yuan Huilan before she regained her favor. Lu Ye had always been so disobedient and unfilial, so how could he have gotten so much so easily?
When she was a child, she saw that Lu Ye was pitiful, so she gave him a few biscuits that he didn't like to eat, and said a few nice words to him, which easily made Lu Ye grateful to her. After joining the army, he earned a little allowance and sent her half of it.
At that time, she thought Lu Ye was quite stupid, but she didn't refuse. She thought she would never refuse the money that was delivered to her door.
But I didn't expect that this stupid second brother became a different person after marrying Ruan Qiqi. Not only did he speak ill of her, he also beat her yesterday. It must be the work of that bitch Ruan Qiqi.
What qualifications does this bitch have to come to the capital? She should stay in a small place all her life and be a vulgar frog in a well!
"We should really leave them alone for a while. I'll tell your Uncle Zhang later that it's time for you to go back to school!"
Yuan Huilan urged her to go back to school.
"Mom, can I eat before I leave? I haven't eaten the meal you cooked for me in a long time."
Mo Heping asked tentatively. She still wanted to have a conversation with Uncle Zhang to enhance their relationship.
"The school doesn't have a cafeteria? Go back now, and don't let people say you're taking advantage of your Uncle Zhang's power to mess around!"
Yuan Huilan's tone became heavier and she looked at her sternly.
"knew."
Mo Heping didn't dare to say anything more and went back to school obediently. However, at the door, she ran into Zhang Zhiguo who was returning from get off work.
"Hello, Uncle Zhang!"
Mo Heping called out obediently.
"Why don't you stay in Tanzhou for a few more days?" Zhang Zhiguo looked at her kindly, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Mo Heping looks a lot like Yuan Huilan when she was young, so even though she is not his biological daughter, he still can't help but pamper her.
"I was beaten by my second brother and his wife, and my father didn't help me."
Mo Heping's eyes turned red and he shed tears of grievance.
"What's going on? Come inside and tell me in detail."
Zhang Zhiguo comforted her softly, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked into the house.
Yuan Huilan just walked out and saw this scene. She felt it was a bit dazzling and scolded, "Why haven't you returned to school yet?"
Mo Heping shrank back, and Zhang Zhiguo patted her back soothingly, saying, "I asked Heping to come back. It's time for dinner. Why didn't you let Heping eat before leaving?"
"There is a cafeteria in the school. We can't let her get any special treatment, or people will gossip about her!"
Yuan Huilan walked forward, took the briefcase from Zhang Zhiguo, hung it up, and glared at Mo Heping implicitly.
Mo Heping pretended not to see it. Anyway, she didn't want to go back to school now. She wanted to ask Uncle Zhang about Master Ling's hobbies.
"Who dares to gossip? You are just too cautious. I have said before that you don't need to be cautious with me. You can do whatever you want and say whatever you want. I am not Mo Qiufeng, the useless one."
Zhang Zhiguo snorted lightly, his tone was particularly arrogant, and he deliberately belittled Mo Qiufeng in front of them.
Although it sounded harsh to the mother and daughter, they did not dare to refute and could only listen.
During dinner, Mo Heping and Zhang Zhiguo were chatting happily, and Yuan Huilan was unable to get a word in several times. She ate her meal in depression, her anger growing more and more.
As soon as the meal was over, she stopped Mo Heping who was about to go to the study with Zhang Zhiguo, "How come you have no manners at all? I worked so hard to prepare the meal, but you put away your chopsticks after you finished eating. Are you really like a spoiled brat who only needs food and clothes for you?"
"Mom, I'm talking to Uncle Zhang!"
Mo Heping hurriedly explained, feeling very aggrieved and thinking that her mother seemed to love her less and less.
"Your uncle Zhang doesn't have the time to talk to you about useless things. Wash the dishes and go back to school. Don't come here too much in the future if you have nothing to do. Study hard in school."
Yuan Huilan's tone became increasingly harsh, and she interrupted Zhang Zhiguo who was about to speak.
Mo Heping went to wash the dishes with red eyes. Zhang Zhiguo said softly, "You are too harsh on Heping."
"If you are not strict, you won't achieve anything. She is getting more and more lazy now, and so are you. Don't spoil her all the time."
Yuan Huilan had a stern face, and her originally beautiful face now looked a little more harsh.
Zhang Zhiguo originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw her current appearance, he suddenly lost his mood, even felt bored, and went into the study without saying a word.
Yuan Huilan felt his change and became more and more angry. In fact, after arriving in Beijing, she and Zhang Zhiguo were very close in the beginning, but their relationship soon faded. Especially Zhang Zhiguo, who often joked that she had changed and was not the same as when she was young.
This kind of talk made her very annoyed. Wasn't it just that he disliked her because she was old and not as pretty as she was when she was young?
She is already fifty, how can she not look old?
Besides, Zhang Zhiguo is older than her, so what right does he have to look down on her for being old?
If Yuan Huilan had been as hot-tempered as before, she would have had a big quarrel with Zhang Zhiguo, but now her temper had subsided a lot and she endured it, but the more she endured, the angrier she became.
"Mom, the dishes are done."
Mo Heping came out from the kitchen.
"Well, let's go back to school!"
Yuan Huilan sat on the sofa with a gloomy face. She was knitting a woolen vest for Zhang Zhiguo, but she had just learned how to knit and was not very skilled. She kept missing stitches and her knitting looked like it was chewed by a dog.
"Mom, do you want me to help you knit?"
Mo Heping wanted to please her, so he volunteered, as she knitted a pretty good sweater.
Yuan Huilan's face became even gloomier and she stared at her. Mo Heping felt uncomfortable all over and didn't know what he had said wrong again.
"I'm going back to school, Mom, bye!"
Mo Heping ran away in a hurry as if he was being chased by a ghost.
Yuan Huilan sat and knitted for another half an hour, then washed her face and went to bed, but Zhang Zhiguo was still in the study and did not come out until nine o'clock. She sat alone in bed and became more and more angry as she thought about it, and her heart felt like a fire was burning.
So she got out of bed and ran to the living room to make a phone call.
Called Lu Desheng.
[The third update is finished. The number of words in the past few days has reached nearly 7,000. Yuan Huilan and her daughter will not have a good life for too long. Good night]
