Chapter 75 Virtuous and Capable
Besides, Li Fangfang had been cursing for so long, and her voice was getting louder and louder.
Forget about dying, there's not even a sign of weakness. It's obviously a lie!
Teachers have all said that children should not lie and should be honest!
He didn't want to get himself involved because of someone else's lie.
After saying that, Lu Zhongshun turned around and ran without looking back, walking hurriedly towards the gate of the courtyard.
He had only taken a few steps, his body not yet fully outside the courtyard gate.
Suddenly, Shen Cuifen's clear, cold voice rang out from the kitchen—
"Zhongshun, wait! You left something behind, come back and get it!"
"Mom, I've got them all!"
He turned around and shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the courtyard.
"Come back, so come back!"
Li Fangfang stood at the kitchen door, hands on her hips, speaking sternly.
Lu Zhongshun pursed his lips, a hint of reluctance on his face.
Although I was thinking to myself, "It's not a big deal."
But seeing his mother's unyielding gaze, he obediently turned around and walked back, his steps dragging as he moved toward the kitchen.
A moment later, he came out of the kitchen, his hands empty.
But when he saw Li Fangfang so angry that her face was distorted and her features were almost twisted into a knot, he realized that she was furious.
Instead, he grinned, his eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Grandma, give me a penny, and I'll pass on your message."
He stretched out his hand, palm facing up, looking quite self-righteous.
Li Fangfang gritted her teeth, her jaw clenched, and her temples twitched slightly.
She muttered under her breath, "You little brat, all you know is how to take advantage of someone's misfortune!"
Despite her scolding, she still rummaged through her clothes, searching high and low, but couldn't find many coins.
Finally, she pulled out an old cloth bag from the innermost layer of her clothes. The edges were worn white and the stitches were loose.
With trembling hands, she opened the cloth bag, shook it for a long time, and finally managed to pry out a penny from it.
The copper coin had been worn smooth and shiny, with rust on the edges.
She glared at Lu Zhongshun with a pained expression.
Lu Zhongshun accepted the coin with a smile, squeezing it in his palm until it made a slight sound.
His eyes lit up as if he had found a treasure, and he turned and skipped away.
"Mom, why did you send Zhongshun to tell Auntie to come back?"
Lu Guizhen squatted by the stove, tidying up the dishes while frowning and asking.
If we really attract daffodils, our house will be in complete chaos.
The moment the thought crossed Lu Guizhen's mind, she felt a chill run down her spine.
She knew her aunt's character all too well.
Every time she came, she would stir up trouble in front of Lu Weidong and Li Fangfang, always picking on Shen Cuifen.
Not only were their words harsh, but every sentence was also loaded with hidden meaning.
She has a mouth that can turn white into black and make the living furious.
Not to mention that last time, when Shen Cuifen couldn't bear it any longer, she poured feces into her mouth.
Even now, when Lu Guizhen thinks about that scene, she still feels disgusted but also relieved.
But precisely because of this, she was even more worried.
If her man comes along too, wouldn't he avenge her?
Wouldn't that cause an uproar?
My house will be turned upside down sooner or later!
Shen Cuifen smiled, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
"Of course, we should stir up the water, the more chaotic the better!"
Lu Guizhen was completely confused, and her brows furrowed even more.
She didn't understand why her mother would deliberately invite trouble.
But looking at Shen Cuifen's calm and composed expression...
She suddenly realized that perhaps her mother had a deeper meaning.
She had made up her mind to only side with Shen Cuifen.
No matter what happens, she will not back down.
This was a vow she had made long ago in her heart.
If anyone dares to be rude to her mother, she'll grab a weapon and fight!
She would never show mercy, even if the other party was an elder or a relative.
If your fists aren't enough, use a spatula.
If a spatula won't work, use a carrying pole!
In the past two days, she has really learned Shen Cuifen's style.
When it comes to fighting, you have to be ruthless!
If you're not afraid to fight to the death, the other side will back down first!
Once the momentum builds, it's hard to say who's afraid of whom!
Lu Guizhen now understands completely.
When Shen Cuifen was forced to marry Lu Weidong, Lu Shuixian was behind it all.
That woman is not only gossipy, but also vicious.
They pretend to care on the surface, but spread rumors behind the scenes.
It's said that the daughter of the Shen family is cursed to bring misfortune to her husbands, so no one dares to
But what she truly hated was that Shen Cuifen had married into the Lu family.
Lu Shuixian had always coveted the Lu family's land and house, wishing she could be in charge herself.
Now that Shen Cuifen has arrived, she is both virtuous and capable, managing the household in an orderly manner, and naturally she is not content with that.
This woman is wicked; she goes around trying to arrange marriages for people, wanting to marry herself off to a widowed old bachelor.
The man was over fifty years old, hunchbacked and lame, and reeked of alcohol; he couldn't even get a hot meal.
Lu Shuixian, however, spoke eloquently, calling it a "heaven-sent match," and even asked her relatives to help persuade her.
Lu Guizhen sneered, inwardly cursing him for being shameless.
If she were to encounter something like this again, she would definitely tear off her mask in person.
It's said that "aunts are close, maternal uncles are fake, and paternal aunts are half true and half false."
But Lu Guizhen felt that this statement might not be accurate.
At least in her eyes, some of her aunts were more ruthless than wolves.
Some aunts are even warmer than biological mothers.
People cannot be generalized.
It all comes down to the people!
Those who have no conscience, whether relatives or cousins, are all bad.
One or two of them pretend to be friendly on the surface, but secretly they wish you all the worst.
They don't feel like they're losing out when they freeload on ordinary days.
If something really happens, they all run away faster than rabbits, not even giving a second glance, let alone offering a helping hand.
People like Lu Shuixian aren't even human!
She is vicious and ruthless; she smiles on the outside but hides a knife in her heart.
Just a few days ago, he was hypocritically trying to reconcile Shen Cuifen, but then he turned around and started stirring up trouble behind her back.
This kind of person, wearing the skin of a relative, is worse than an animal!
Shen Cuifen cleaned the chicken thoroughly and rinsed it several times with clean water.
Only after the blood has been completely rinsed away should it be placed in a basin to dry.
She sat on the old stone steps under the eaves, with an old cloth spread on her knees.
Holding a thick needle in his hand, he bent down and began to mend Lu Guizhen's shoes.
The sole of the shoe was worn through with a large hole, the stitching along the edges was completely frayed, and the upper was also torn.
She sighed, twirled the thread, and began to sew, stitch by stitch.
I've been so busy lately, I'm either arguing or on my way to arguing all day long.
The house is in chaos, and rumors are rampant outside. There's never a moment of peace.
No sooner had Li Fangfang finished arguing with Lu Shuixian than she started making a scene again.
The stove is cold, so the food won't get hot.
No one has time to sit down and have a proper meal.
Even though Guizhen's shoes had a big hole, she didn't bother to sew them up.
This child has worn old shoes patched upon patched since he was a child.
My toes are almost cracked from the cold.
She, as a mother, actually put it off for so long before remembering to make it up.
I felt really bad about it, and my eyes welled up with tears. I accidentally pricked my finger with a needle.
Blood beads appeared, but she ignored them and continued sewing.
She estimated that it would only take a morning to fix it.
First, padded the base thickly, then sewed it tight round and round.
