Wang Qiufen was so angry that her body couldn't stop shaking. Originally, she and the old man had always been very pleased because their children were all very successful. Whenever they thought of this, they almost woke up laughing even in their dreams.
But who could have thought that the fourth brother would start causing trouble as soon as he came back!
Both of them have proper jobs in the commune. Can't they just live a stable life?
Lu Dongxue stiffened her neck, her face full of dissatisfaction, "Mom, I am your biological daughter, how come you are now partial to Qin An Ning?
The five of us are all brothers and sisters. Qin An Ning has helped all of them, so why doesn’t he help me?
Yesterday, when Dongliang was attending a meeting in the county, he heard County Magistrate Li personally praising Qin Anning and saying that he would give her a reward. If they didn't have a good relationship, would County Magistrate Li have praised her in front of so many people?
I just wanted her to help me with something, but she kept making excuses. She doesn't even consider me a family member."
"Then do you treat Ningning as a family member again?" Lu Cheng's cold voice came at this time, and his eyes stared at Lu Dongxue without any emotion.
"My eldest sister-in-law often sends Ningning some dried seafood and silk fabrics. My second sister-in-law knows that Ningning likes to eat dried fruits, so every autumn she tries every possible way to collect a lot and send them to Ningning. My third sister even makes all kinds of clothes for Ningning all year round. What about you?
Have you ever done anything other than causing trouble for Ningning?
We don’t care about the amount of things, but the thought that goes into them.
Whether you treat it with care or not, everyone can see it without saying it, no one is a fool.
Ningning has always wanted family harmony, so every time she came back, she never failed to bring gifts to your home. Now it seems that those gifts might as well be fed to the dog.
Lu Dongxue, I don't care if you're selfish, but don't use those selfish thoughts on my wife and me, and don't have any bad ideas about the family, otherwise don't blame me for not considering my parents' feelings and punishing you harshly! "
Lu Dongxue was no exception, but she was afraid when Lu Cheng got really angry, "You...you...I'm your biological sister!"
"You're not a big deal, just a sister!"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Lu Dongshuang quickly pushed Lu Cheng out and advised, "Okay, okay, Ningning's family is still here, just say less."
Lu Cheng looked coldly at Lu Dongxue, who looked strong on the outside but weak on the inside, snorted coldly, and turned away without saying anything.
"You should talk less. There's trouble at home. It would be bad if there was a quarrel."
Lu Dongshuang originally wanted to say a few words of advice to ease the atmosphere, but she didn't expect that Lu Dongxue not only didn't appreciate it, but also vented all her anger on her.
"Did you show off? Stop pretending to be a good person!" Lu Dongxue glared at Lu Dongshuang fiercely.
Lu Dongshuang was stunned by this sudden accusation and didn't understand how she had offended her again.
"Why are you biting like a mad dog?" Tang Lijuan couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but retort to Lu Dongxue.
Wang Qiufen was a little exhausted. She waved her hand weakly and said, "Alright, stop arguing. If you don't want to stay, go back first."
Shu Ran used the excuse of going to the bathroom and pulled Qin An Ning out of the room.
She asked with concern, "Ningning, what's going on? Do you have any unresolved conflicts with their family?"
Shu Ran was full of doubts. Through the contact over the past two days, she felt that the people in the Lu family were quite nice.
Ningning is not an unreasonable child, so there shouldn't be any barriers, right?
Qin Anning briefly explained the situation and comforted her, "Aunt, don't worry about it. Let Lu Cheng handle the Lu family's affairs. Lu Dongxue won't dare to do anything to me."
After hearing the whole story, Shu Ran was no longer worried.
Lu Dongxue did not leave. At lunch time, she had a sullen face, as if everyone owed her money.
However, Qin An Ning ignored her completely and continued to eat and drink, completely ignoring her as if she were air.
She was not that stupid and did not say anything excessive at the dinner table. After the meal, she quietly pulled Lu Rongjiang aside and said something, and Qin Anning pretended not to see it.
Lu Rongjiang scowled and sternly reprimanded Lu Dongxue, "What are you doing here? County Magistrate Li praised An Ning because An Ning performed well at work. How can you think that An Ning can ask County Magistrate Li for help in transferring her position just because of this?"
How can the appointment and removal of cadres be so casual?
You two both have good jobs, so just be down-to-earth and don't aim too high."
Lu Dongxue was ultimately unable to convince Lu Rongjiang and left in a huff.
Lu Rongjiang looked at the back of his fourth daughter as she walked away, feeling a little uncomfortable. He thought he did not favor boys over girls and treated them equally, so why did the fourth daughter go astray?
"Dad, I've asked for your advice on the oil press. Once you've completed the paperwork, you can go buy it with the letter of introduction."
Lu Cheng pretended not to notice Lu Rongjiang's melancholy look, walked over and talked to him about business.
Lu Rongjiang's attention was indeed attracted.
"What did you say? How much is it..." A series of questions came like a machine gun. Lu Cheng remained patient and answered them one by one.
At night, Qin An Ning couldn't sleep and couldn't help but gently poke Lu Cheng beside her, "I think my parents are forcing themselves to smile this afternoon. Will they blame me for not helping?"
Lu Cheng grabbed Qin Anning's hand and held it in his palm, saying firmly, "No, they are all reasonable people and know that Lu Dongxue is just being unreasonable.
They were just sad that Lu Dongxue had become so selfish."
Qin An Ning curled her lips, thinking that a selfish character was not developed in a day. It had been evident since she opposed Lu Chang's marriage. Perhaps there were signs even earlier, but the Lu family just didn't pay attention.
But she would not say this out loud. No matter how bad Lu Dongxue was, she was still the daughter of the Lu family. If she, an outsider, said anything more, wouldn't that be stupid!
It rained during the day and didn't stop until the afternoon, so the temperature was a bit low at night. Qin Anning pulled the towel up to cover her abdomen and lifted Lu Cheng with her foot. "I'm a bit cold. Go and close the back window."
Lu Cheng obediently closed the window and asked with concern, "Are you still cold? Do you want to take out the thick blanket?"
"No need, it will be much better if you close the window." Qin An Ning rubbed against Lu Cheng, absorbing the warmth from him.
Lu Cheng took Qin An Ning into his arms and said, "Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."
The moon outside the window was bright and flawless, casting a silver glow through the curtains. In this quiet night, the two of them slept in each other's arms, as if they had forgotten all their worries.
