Ruan Qiqi glanced towards the kitchen and said to Lu Ye in surprise, "Your stepmother is just frying some rice cakes, why is there so much noise?"

"She was so angry that she poked a hole through the bottom of the pot!"

Lu Ye answered casually, not knowing that he had guessed it right.

Lu Desheng was too lazy to get angry with them. Human habits were terrible. Now that he heard these outrageous words, he was able to remain calm.

Moreover, he felt that what Ruan Qiqi said did make sense.

Lu Ye's two younger brothers grew up with him and Lin Manyun. They had never experienced hardship and were very spoiled. As men, they had to be fearless of hardship and fatigue. Those who were spoiled would become sissies.

Lin Manyun saw Lu Desheng's thoughtful look and her heart sank.

Having lived with him for more than twenty years, Lin Manyun knows this man too well. Lu Desheng must have been moved by that crazy girl.

"Old Lu, the baba is ready, eat it while it's hot!"

Lin Manyun interrupted Lu Desheng's thoughts and placed a plate of slightly burnt fried cakes on the table.

"Why is it burnt? Did your stepmother really drill a hole through the bottom of the pot?"

Ruan Qiqi started yelling in surprise.

"It's very likely. After all, my stepmother hates me the most for not being successful. It's normal for her to get angry and make a fuss!" Lu Ye said.

Lin Manyun's eyebrows skipped a beat, and she gritted her teeth as she explained, "The fire is too high. If you were a little slower in turning the noodles over, they would get burnt. Do you have enough vegetables? Do you want me to stir-fry some more?"

"That's enough, but since you want to cook so much, then cook a few more dishes. Lu Ye and I will definitely be able to finish them."

Ruan Qiqi was not polite at all. As long as Lin Manyun cooked the food, she would finish it even if it made her throat full.

“Go fry!”

Lu Desheng has spoken. You can’t just not let people eat their fill.

Lin Manyun's mouth tasted of blood, but she didn't dare show it at all. She had to put on a smile and go to the kitchen to cook. Fortunately, there was a pot at home.

Ruan Qiqi followed him to the kitchen quietly. When she saw Lin Manyun taking out a new pot from the cupboard, she started yelling, "Oh no, Lu Ye, your stepmother really chiseled a hole through the bottom of the pot. How angry must she be!"

"It's a strange thing. She can even drill through the bottom of a pot. The grass in the vegetable garden is taller than the vegetables. She has so much strength, why doesn't she weed?"

Lu Ye didn't even bother eating, and ran to the kitchen to watch the fun. He and Ruan Qiqi each pulled at one side of the door frame, and they were talking in a sarcastic tone again.

Lu Desheng came over with a fierce look on his face, just in time to see Lin Manyun trying to hide the broken pot. The fresh gap made his head throb with pain.

"Old Lu, this pot has been used for many years and it's no longer strong!"

Lin Manyun quickly explained.

"You're angry if you want to. Why blame the pot? It shouldn't have broken down earlier or later, but it broke down when Lu Ye got promoted. What a coincidence!"

Ruan Qiqi curled her lips and acted in a righteous manner.

"That's normal. My stepmother is as narrow-minded as a needle tip. She gets angry when I get higher scores than her son on the exam. I'm used to it."

Lu Ye's face was full of sarcasm. He didn't even look at Lu Desheng. He turned around and went back to eat.

"It's understandable. After all, you're a stepmother, so you definitely want the best for your own son. If you think about it this way, even though you don't have the love of your parents, you have the best future!"

Ruan Qiqi said something to comfort her and went to eat.

These words pierced Lu Desheng's heart like needles, especially what Lu Ye said about the exam. He looked at Lin Manyun suspiciously.

In the past, he always thought that Lu Ye’s grades were poor because he didn’t work hard enough, and he never thought that it was his wife’s fault. Is she really suppressing Xiao Ye?

"Old Lu, I didn't... This pot was about to break. Xiao Ye has made a difference. I am happier than anyone else, really!"

Lin Manyun cried bitterly and used her usual tricks, but her tricks that always worked didn't work today.

Lu Desheng still had a look of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say anything else. He just glanced at the broken pot, looked at Lin Manyun deeply, and left the kitchen.

Lin Manyun stood in the kitchen in a daze, with a cold feeling on her back. She knew that Lu Desheng had become suspicious of her.

That damn bastard Lu Ye, why didn’t he starve to death back then!

Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye ate all the dishes with relish, but Lu Desheng didn't even take a few bites of the vegetables, as he was full after eating his poop.

"Let's go to your stepfather's house to ask for a red envelope."

Ruan Qiqi stood up decisively. Time was precious and there was no time to waste.

"What red envelope do you want?"

When it comes to Mo Qiufeng's affairs, Lu Desheng has a particularly sharp ear. He has been secretly competing with Mo Qiufeng, determined to defeat this old fox and prove that Yuan Huilan's choice was wrong.

It’s not that he still has feelings for Yuan Huilan, he just doesn’t accept it.

Because Yuan Huilan told him that Mo Qiufeng was hundreds of times better than him, and she was blind to marry him. Fortunately, she turned back in time and married Mo Qiufeng.

These words made Lu Desheng very angry, and since then, he regarded Mo Qiufeng as his opponent.

He can never lose to Mo Qiufeng!

"Lu Ye has been promoted, and as an elder, we have to give him a red envelope to celebrate. Okay, we are leaving now. Bye!"

Ruan Qiqi waved her hand and pulled Lu Ye outside.

"Five, four, three, two..."

Ruan Qiqi counted silently, and just when she counted to two, she heard Lu Desheng's call: "Manyun, go and wrap a red envelope for Xiaoye, and wrap it thicker."

She and Lu Ye smiled at each other, turned around quickly, and waited to receive the red envelope.

Ruan Qiqi also said: "The last time I went to the Mo family, Uncle Mo packed a huge gift for us, fifty yuan, so generous!"

Lu Desheng's head hurt even more. He secretly cursed Mo Qiufeng for being shameless. He gave him the red envelope secretly without telling him, causing him to be bullied by this crazy girl.

In order not to lose to Mo Qiufeng, Lu Desheng simply went to the room and wrapped the red envelope himself.

Lin Manyun had already given a red envelope of ten yuan, which was the limit of what she could tolerate. If Lu Desheng hadn't asked for a thicker amount, she would have given at most one yuan.

After all, in her opinion, all the money of the Lu family belonged to her and her son, and Lu Ye and Lu Chuncao had no right to spend it.

"I didn't ask you to wrap it thicker. Are you wrapping ten yuan to make Mo Qiufeng laugh at you?"

Lu Desheng was very dissatisfied. He felt that Lin Manyun had suddenly become not sensible at all. The face that he originally thought was gentle and beautiful now looked more mercenary and calculating.

Lin Manyun gritted her teeth and wrapped two red envelopes, each containing fifty yuan, because Lu Desheng said that he must not lose to Mo Qiufeng.

Just one hundred yuan, and Lu Ye got it so cheaply that Lin Manyun almost fainted from the heartache.

Although she was very unwilling, Lin Manyun did not dare to resist. She took the two red envelopes and went out and stuffed them into Lu Ye's pockets.

Lu Ye didn't even look at it and gave it to Ruan Qiqi.

Lin Manyun couldn't help but sneer, "Xiao Ye is really sensible. He knows how to hand it over to his partner before getting married."

Lu Desheng frowned, thinking that Lu Ye was indeed stupid. How could he hand over the money before getting married? It seemed so humble. He hadn't even arrived yet, but the girl had been trained to be so obedient. It made him so angry.

"I forgot to mention that Lu Ye and I have already obtained our marriage certificate. Look, here is our marriage certificate. So, I solemnly invite you two to come to my humble home tomorrow night for a glass of wedding wine!"

Ruan Qiqi took out two marriage certificates, waved them in front of Lin Manyun, and invited them to the wedding banquet.

Lin Manyun's eyes went dark. She really wanted to kill this crazy girl. She must have done it on purpose. She didn't say anything when she came in. She only told her after giving her two red envelopes that she would have to give another red envelope when they went to have a drink tomorrow.

Three red envelopes! I feel so sorry for her!
