Chapter 89
Gift-giving controversy
Hu Ouhua looked up and saw Song Beibei and Yang Jiaojiao outside the crowd.
She looked him up and down, feeling a little amused.
Tsk.
What a coincidence!
This also proves the old saying: The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognized each other. Her "good sister" who had been fighting with her since childhood is here again.
They met again in such a strange way.
Moreover, they wore the same clothes.
With the little girl's reminder, everyone's eyes flickered between the two of them, and they soon realized that they were wearing the same skirt.
Before Hu Ouhua came, Song Beibei was dressed in the most fashionable way and had her hair permed, which was very eye-catching. At first glance, she even looked like a local lady from a wealthy family.
But it wasn't until the appearance of the huouhua, her perfect waistline, and the belt of the same color... that people realized that Song Beibei's skirt had been altered.
This skirt is truly an original design.
Song Beibei's physical shortcomings were immediately exposed, making her look shabby.
"Huouhua, did you do this on purpose?"
Song Beibei was furious.
She felt proud for a while, thinking that she was the focus of the party today.
Hu Ouhua is really Hu Jingsheng's natural nemesis!
She's always there for me wherever I go.
How can one not hate her to the core?
"How could that be? It's just that we're wearing the same clothes. It's no big deal, Comrade Song Beibei~~" Hu Ouhua deliberately emphasized her name, and the hint in her words was obvious.
Song Beibei's eyelids flickered, and she felt a little panicked.
"Beibei, you've come to see grandma. Don't be like those other girls out there. You're so sensible that you dress like that. You even altered your skirt on purpose to hide your shortcomings. You're a good kid with a pure heart."
Gu Wanru walked over leisurely.
She grabbed Song Beibei's wrist and led her away from the center of the vortex with a doting look on her face.
"Ouhua, come on, I'll take you to see grandma." Lu Yuetang stepped forward, took her hand, and walked into the house as if no one was around, holding wine and cakes in one hand.
When Hu Ouhua saw that he helped her out of the predicament, she knew that he wanted to show his relatives and friends how much she meant to him. For a moment, all the sadness that was mocked by Gu Wan was swept away.
What is hiding one's shortcomings?
What is pure?
Is it important?
At best, Song Beibei was invited by Gu Wanru to annoy her. If she was really angry, she would have fallen into the trap set by Gu Wanru...
A smile appeared on her face, and she walked into the house with him shoulder to shoulder.
Several little girls were jumping and dancing behind him.
"This sister is so beautiful. When I grow up, I want to be as pretty as her."
"It's the first time I see such a beautiful sister. When she is with my cousin, my cousin will smile~~"
"Yeah, yeah, I noticed that too."
"Sister, are you going to be my cousin's bride?"
"I think so."
A group of young guys gathered together, talking in a flurry, and the shock in the hearts of the elders was even greater.
The third brother, Lu Baiting, is notoriously cold-blooded and ruthless.
Even if the sky falls, he won't frown.
Of course, he wouldn't smile even if you tickled him.
They thought they would never see Lu Yuetang smile in this lifetime.
Fortunately, I saw it in my lifetime.
It’s not easy.
They poured into the living room, continued to join in the fun, and continued to watch the pleasing scene of the loving couple.
In the hall, Grandma Lu was sitting in an armchair, surrounded by several old ladies of the same age, chatting idly.
Gu Wanru came in dragging Song Beibei's hand and said with a smile, "Mom, I called Beibei over."
Grandma Lu saw through her daughter-in-law's thoughts at a glance.
But I didn't expect that Gu Wanru would be so willful in front of all the relatives and friends. If he did something too outrageous, he would have no face to save in the future.
But thinking of her daughter-in-law's worries, she forced a smile and responded with a few words.
The last time Song Beibei went on a blind date and gave a gift, Lu Jingjing messed it up, causing her to lose all face. So this time she learned her lesson and took out a red plush vest from her backpack. She smiled and said, "Grandma, I wish you a long life. I knitted this overnight. It's warm and it's just the right time to wear it."
What Grandma Lu hates most is the color red.
When Song Beibei wanted to try it on for her, she almost couldn't hold it in until Sun Zi came into the room with Hu Ouhua and reluctantly helped her out...
"Grandma, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea." Lu Yuetang said.
He walked forward, put down what he was holding, and then took Huouhua over to Grandma Lu, with a smile between his eyebrows: "Grandma, let me formally introduce you to Huouhua, my partner."
"Hello, Grandma Lu, I wish you good health and a happy birthday." Hu Ouhua said with a smile.
"Oh, you come here empty-handed, where is your sincerity?" Gu Wanru sneered.
Empty-handed?
Lu Yuetang was about to pick up the things when he saw Song Beibei said weakly, "Hey, isn't this a fast-moving consumer product from the supply and marketing cooperative? Last time when I gave a gift, because it was the same as the one from the supply and marketing cooperative, people questioned me for not putting enough thought into it. Sister Hu, you are being too... casual."
"That's right, maybe it was Captain Lu who bought it."
When Yang Jiaojiao saw the two of them holding hands, she was so excited that she couldn't suppress it anymore.
She lost the chance to become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
But Hu Ouhua, this vixen, the woman who almost became her sister-in-law, rose to power so quietly, so what are they?
What is the Yang family?
Lu Yuetang frowned.
He had planned it early in the morning and took Hu Ouhua to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some expensive things, but in the end he still caused such a troublesome incident.
"Alright, alright, please stop making trouble considering my age and my half-buried body. I don't want any gifts either. Considering Bai Ting's filial piety, I don't want anything even if I have nothing." Grandma Lu said.
"Mom, you don't need anything, but others don't give you anything. This is not sincerity. It's obvious that they come to my house and act rudely." Gu Wanru sneered.
Then, she picked up the red woolen vest and said loudly, "Look, Beibei is so thoughtful. She knitted the vest herself. Not only is she sincere, but she also has a pair of skillful hands. Whoever marries her will be blessed for life."
Song Beibei blushed instantly and lowered her head shyly.
"Mom, you——"
Lu Yuetang was about to refute his mother, but he saw Hu Ouhua shaking her head at him, then walked to Grandma Lu and took out a large porcelain jar from her cloth bag.
She opened the lid of the porcelain jar, revealing a white paste with a faint floral scent wafting out.
"Grandma Lu, the last time I saw you, your feet were cracked and your fingers were also covered with cuts. This is a bottle of crack ointment that I prepared after reading a lot of medical books. If you use it for a period of time, the cracks will slowly heal and the pain won't be so severe anymore."
I dug up a bunch of lotus flowers and rubbed them on Grandma Lu's hands.
The fragrance permeates the air, and a warm feeling rubs onto my rough hands. The cream is very moisturizing, and as soon as I put it on my hands I can feel the cracks stretching and not being so dry anymore.
"Oh, it really doesn't hurt that much anymore." Grandma Lu said sincerely.
Not to mention that Hu Ouhua is a very thoughtful child, she is also very thoughtful.
Her hands and feet were chapped, and everyone in the Lu family knew about it, but no one took it seriously. Sometimes the pain was so severe that she couldn't sleep. She tried some ointments, but they didn't work, and she was very worried.
If this ointment is effective, it will be a timely help.
"Mom—"
Gu Wanru was very dissatisfied.
How could you give Hu Ouhua such a big face?
