Chapter 52
The secret of Lu Yuetang's extinction was revealed
Qingfen was sent back to Ningcheng. Old Yang was furious and said that she was crazy. She was living a good life and was fooling around with her son and daughter outside.
Qingfen refused to give in.
She accused Old Yang of being selfish and only caring about enjoying himself, not caring about his son when he got into trouble, and said there was no such a heartless father in the world. After a big fight, the two of them went straight to get a divorce certificate.
But this is not the end.
When Qingfen returned to the company, she found someone else at her workstation. She was so angry that she went to the workshop manager to argue with him. The manager responded without hesitation, accusing her of being absent from work. Not only that, the company also received a report from the Public Security Bureau against Qingfen, which damaged the reputation of the factory...
So, she was fired.
The successive blows drove Qingfen crazy.
She stole all of Lao Yang's savings and ran away that night.
Beijing City, Chengdong Road Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Gu Wanru had just taken Yang Jiaojiao to the Friendship Store and bought her a watch. Now they came to buy fabric, intending to make two new dresses for her. After making her happy, she would talk about her plans.
Yang Jiaojiao, not knowing what was going on, stood in front of the shelves filled with goods. She silently fiddled with the new sewing machine, then looked at the glowing ladies' bicycles... She wished she could take away everything she had touched.
"Hey, isn't this Professor Gu?"
Two people came out of the supply and marketing cooperative. They were the parents of Gu Wanru's former students, and they couldn't help but exchange greetings.
She was afraid that Yang Jiaojiao would be bored, so she let her go shopping and buy some food first.
Before leaving, she gave Yang Jiaojiao 20 yuan and a few food coupons.
Yang Jiaojiao nodded happily.
She started to wander around, and when she reached the grocery cabinet, she saw the canned yellow peaches and her mouth immediately watered.
In the past, every time Qingfen bought a can of food and brought it home during the Chinese New Year, she would secretly give it to her brother Yang Wei and leave a small bowl of sugar water for herself at the end.
She was so greedy that she wanted nothing more.
So, she paid full price for a bottle of canned yellow peaches without hesitation.
Just after paying and opening the can to eat, someone grabbed her wrist suddenly. She felt pain for a moment, and she couldn't hold the smooth bottle, so the can fell to the ground.
“Ahhh, my can—”
Yang Jiaojiao was so angry that she raised her hand to slap the man, but when she saw her face clearly, she was stunned.
"Jiaojiao, it's Mom. I want to talk to you about something."
Qingfen had a black cloth on her head, covering most of her face.
She was furtive, looking around.
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Yang Jiaojiao felt sorry for the cans, but it was Qingfen who was wasting the cans. She was so angry that she had no place to vent and immediately looked unhappy.
Qingfen has been gone for so long.
She overcame numerous difficulties to return to Beijing, and stayed outside the military compound for several days, not daring to show up easily for fear of being caught by the police.
She finally caught Yang Jiaojiao and Gu Wanru going out, and then she followed them.
I didn't expect the lady to be so cold.
She couldn't help but feel chilled in her heart, and her tone turned cold: "Your brother was arrested, aren't you worried at all?"
Yang Jiaojiao's eyes fell on the can and she pulled out the sweet thread.
She muttered, "Who told him to talk nonsense? It's his own fault. Once he's reformed, won't it be fine if he can start a new life?"
"What did you say?"
Qingfen couldn't believe her ears.
These were actually words spoken by her own daughter!
Since she was young, she taught Yang Jiaojiao that the Yang family belonged to her brother Yang Wei, and that her greatest responsibility as a younger sister was to help her brother get married and start a career, and that she should always put her brother first, saying that even her husband and children were not as important as her biological brother.
The daughter always listened to her.
Unexpectedly, within less than a month after Yang Jiaojiao moved into the Lu family's home, her ideas and concepts had changed drastically, and she was corrupted by the colorful life in Beijing.
"That's right. He has offended the noble. If he doesn't behave well, who can save him?" Yang Jiaojiao said with a pout.
Zhao Minghui is not a very reliable person.
But all the big and small news in the circle flowed into her ears through her mouth, and Yang Jiaojiao finally understood who her brother had offended...
At that moment, it would be a lie to say I wasn't panicked.
Fortunately, Gu Wanru did not kick her out of the Lu family... otherwise she would not know what to do.
Pop.
Qingfen slapped Yang Jiaojiao hard, and said with a fierce and ruthless look: "Yang Jiaojiao, don't forget that your surname is Yang. From the moment you were born, you were destined to pave the way for your brother. Since you are so heartless and ungrateful, I will no longer acknowledge you as my daughter. Don't blame me for doing something that you will regret for the rest of your life!"
After all, my son is still the most reliable.
A daughter who is married off is like spilled water.
There is a reason why the ancients valued boys over girls.
"Mom—"
Yang Jiaojiao cried and shouted.
But when Ke Qingfen turned around and walked out the door, she was blocked by Gu Wanru.
"Oh, what a coincidence that I meet you here." Gu Wanru sneered.
"What do you want to do?"
Qingfen looked alert.
She had a dagger on her sleeve, which was originally used for self-defense, and she also planned to use her own blood to save her son in an emergency.
Gu Wanru waved towards Yang Jiaojiao.
Sobbing, Yang Jiaojiao walked up to her and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Mom..."
"Um."
Gu Wanru was originally thinking about how to tell Yang Jiaojiao, but now it's ready.
She held Yang Jiaojiao's hand and said affectionately, "Jiaojiao, since she doesn't want you anymore, why don't I recognize you as my eldest daughter? Move your household registration from Ningcheng to my house, and you'll have the same surname as Yuetang, Lu. Whoever dares to bully you or touch you in the future must get past me first!"
What?
Not only was Qingfen shocked, even Yang Jiaojiao was a little confused.
When she thought about being demoted from Lu Yuetang's wife to his sister...she became reluctant.
But Qingfen seemed to understand.
Gu Wanru, this old fox, who had been hiding the fact that Lu Yuetang was infertile and did not want Yang Jiaojiao to be a shield for the Lu family, must be a better choice.
The Lu family really wants both.
So greedy.
Since they were so heartless and ungrateful as to watch him die without helping, then don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless.
"Gu Wanru, you have been keeping this secret from my Jiaojiao. You didn't tell her that Lu Yuetang is infertile, and you've been playing tricks on her like a monkey. Do you think it's fun? You are the scum of society who are rich but unkind, and officials who do nothing. You will get your retribution--" Qingfen yelled.
That day, Yang Jiaojiao ran away crying.
That day, the news that Captain Lu had lost his fertility spread like wildfire.
That day, Gu Wanru felt what it meant to be... living a life worse than death.
She tried every possible means to stop Qingfen from speaking.
The son's secret was finally exposed.
For a time, Lu Yuetang became the biggest laughing stock in the Beijing circle.
Especially Lu Yuetang's arch-enemy, Jiang Kewei from the Marine Department, when he heard the news, he slapped the table and laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.
"Hahaha, hahaha, no wonder the Lu family wants to find a daughter-in-law from a small county town, it turns out that he can't have children. The Lu family is doomed to have no descendants this time. Thinking back to the time when he fought with me and called me a turtle grandson, now things have changed and he's the turtle grandson now—"
