Chapter 120 Call the Police to Arrest Me
"In recent years, we often hear that she has won this honor or that award. Now she has become the mainstay of the radio station. Her mother-in-law is very dissatisfied, but she can't do anything about it. Wang Manzhi's monthly salary is not low!"
When Wang Jinglian was talking excitedly, her expression was exactly the same as Xiaodong's. Lu Youyou couldn't help laughing. The mother and son were so alike.
"Her family doesn't seem to have a big background. She is where she is today thanks to herself." Wang Jinglian praised him, but her expression was not very good. "It stands to reason that someone like her should understand that being a woman is not easy, but why is she treating her own daughter like this?"
Of course Lu Youyou couldn't answer this kind of question.
Maybe Wang Manzhi just doesn't like children, maybe she is a person who favors boys over girls, or maybe there are some other weird reasons.
Anyway, there is no need to take an exam to be a parent, so you can have children whether they are suitable or not.
Wang Jinglian moved closer and whispered, "Auntie Zhang, who lives across from my house, used to be a midwife. She said a long time ago that Wang Manzhi didn't take good care of herself during the last confinement period, otherwise this pregnancy wouldn't have been so difficult."
If it weren't for her image, Lu Youyou would have already brought out the peanuts and melon seeds. Wang Jinglian kept asking for one dish after another, and she felt overwhelmed if she didn't eat something.
"If you ask me, she's just too proud and too strong-willed. Can't she take a leave when her health is so poor? If she wants to go to work, why doesn't she take care of herself before getting pregnant? What if she gives birth to another daughter? Is she going to just leave her alone?"
Lu Youyou could tell that Wang Jinglian looked down on Wang Manzhi. Looking at Xiaodong, she knew that his family must be harmonious and peaceful. It would be absolutely impossible for him to give birth to a child but not raise him.
Wang Jinglian really wanted to have another daughter, but she had not been able to conceive since giving birth to Xiaodong. She had watched Qiu grow up, and she felt uncomfortable seeing such a well-behaved girl living such a miserable life. She looked down on Wang Manzhi even more.
At first, she was worried that Shen Xianling would team up with Wu Weimin, which made her feel uncomfortable. If Wu Weimin became the team leader, she would have to bite the bullet and come into contact with the Wu family in the future.
Fortunately, Gu Qingye showed up out of nowhere, and along with him came the kind and generous Lu Youyou. Wang Jinglian couldn't be more satisfied.
Although the child's father comes home exhausted every day, he is full of praise for Gu Qingye, saying that he is many times better than Wu Weimin, the man with a connection to him.
A strong soldier makes a strong general. With a strong captain who gets things done, the instructor's job will be much easier. As it concerns her husband's future, Wang Jinglian has even less reason to dislike Lu Youyou.
"By the way, are you going to catch seafood tomorrow? There will be a high tide tomorrow, so there will definitely be a lot of good things." Wang Jinglian asked.
Lu Youyou hasn't been to the beach since the last time she went there. Gu Qingye goes out early and comes back late every day, so she picks up so much that she can't finish eating it.
But last time, she was forced to give up before she could get enough of her "getting something for nothing" addiction. When she heard that there would be a tide tomorrow, she agreed: "Okay, or shall we leave in the early morning?"
"No, the low tide time is different every time. We can leave later tomorrow at 7 o'clock..."
"Where have you been hiding now, you little girl? You didn't even wash the dishes or hang up the clothes. You've been lazy for days because of a small cut on your leg. Are you waiting for me to serve you, you money-loser?"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by familiar insults. He didn't need to look to know that it was Old Lady Wu causing trouble again.
Wang Jinglian frowned and said angrily, "If her family's surname wasn't Wu, I would have reported it to the Women's Federation. How could they treat a child like this? They're not so poor that they can't even afford to eat. Their parents have such high salaries, how could they not have room for a little girl!"
Although Wang Jinglian's voice was not loud, the fence could not block the old woman's sight. She saw Lu Youyou and Wang Jinglian before she saw Qiu.
The old woman had never suffered any loss in the family compound. She was still very angry about the last time she was bullied by Lu Youyou and his wife, so she immediately turned her gun around and started cursing.
"Isn't this the captain's wife who always meddles in other people's affairs? In my opinion, the family compound should remove the railings and build a brick wall. Otherwise, some people will stare at other people's homes all day long without doing their work. Your man is just a captain, and his hands are so long that they will be scratched all over. I'm afraid he will have to get injections every day!"
Old Mrs. Wu will remember the word "tetanus" for the rest of her life. She is unwilling to spend an extra penny on a money-losing product. She has to give injections and get medicine, and her heart is bleeding.
Wang Jinglian was so angry that she thought, what went wrong with their good intentions? !
"Auntie Wu, we are just talking in our own yard, it doesn't bother you, why are you saying all this?"
Old Mrs. Wu had no intention of doing anything to Wang Jinglian, but she ended up showing up at her doorstep on her own initiative.
"When is it your turn to say what an old woman does? Your husband is a Shen Shiling, right? He can't even control me, so why do you need to force yourself to be the first?"
Wang Jinglian wanted to have a quarrel, but the old woman was too old and had connections with her boss, so she had to swallow back whatever she wanted to say.
Lu Youyou stood up and fixed his eyes on Old Lady Wu's face.
"Old lady, if you really can't stand it, you can call the police directly. I'm always here to serve you. As for the courtyard wall, I also hope to build a wall, and it would be better to add a cover, so that I don't have to listen to your foul language every day. I couldn't ask for more."
The old woman was at a loss for words, having never heard such an elegant way of cursing in her life, but her instinct told her that it was not a good thing, so she chose to use more force, with a more ferocious look and a louder voice.
"What are you talking about? Call the police. Do you think I dare not? There is an inspection team here. Do you think you are right to disrespect the elderly?!"
"Comrade Lu, don't you know what it means to take a step back and the world will be broader? You are arguing with an old man. It seems that Comrade Lu's cultivation is just average!"
Suddenly another voice joined the battle. It was Wu Baozhu who had not been seen for a long time.
Wu Baozhu's family got a few old ginseng roots, and her father insisted that she send one over. She was very reluctant at first, but she didn't expect to encounter a heated scene as soon as she arrived.
Ever since she met Lu Youyou on the boat, she felt that she had lost face. She made a fuss at home for several days and avoided Lu Youyou for several days.
Wu Baozhu was too proud to tolerate this, and if she endured it for a while, she would get it back tenfold or a hundredfold.
As a result, Lu Youyou didn't go out at all. Wu Baozhu would never do something like getting up early and going to bed late to catch seafood. A month passed like this, and she couldn't find any opportunity to vent her anger.
I finally caught Lu Youyou with evidence, how could I let him go? She didn't expect much, as long as Lu Youyou was embarrassed, it was enough.
She didn't bother to care about the cause and effect. It was useless for a younger generation to argue with an old lady in her sixties or seventies.
Lu Youyou was not angry at all, and even felt like laughing.
I have never heard of a niece inheriting the genes of her aunt. Wu Baozhu's way of being unreasonable and scolding her husband is exactly like that of Old Lady Wu.
Except for Cao Xiangdong and Qiu Tian, there may be no normal person in this family, whether direct or collateral.
A faint smile appeared on Lu Youyou's indifferent face.
"One step back will open up a new world? You guys can retreat, but I won't."
