Shen Wu leaned over and said, "Mom, what are you doing secretly?"
She appeared suddenly and silently. Old Mrs. Lu was startled and jumped up, covering her chest when she saw it was her.
"You unlucky guy, you scared me to death."
Shen Wu was unhappy now: "Mom, if you say that to me, and you're sneaking around like this, I'll shout and let everyone know that you're not here with good intentions."
Old Mrs. Lu can't stand the onlookers anymore.
These incidents severely dampened her spirit, especially the incident at Widow Jin's house, where she actually fell into Wang Hua's trap.
At first, she wanted to catch Lu to feed him, but after entering the yard, she saw a kerosene light in the widow's room, so she had a bad idea and wanted to catch a wild man.
What bad luck!
Who knew her son was there? You know, she would never go there even if she was beaten to death.
That old guy Feng Fanpi attracted so many people with just a few shouts. She has been feeling so frustrated lately.
Old Lady Lu pulled Shen Wu aside and said, “Don’t make any noise, just listen.”
Nowadays, houses are not very soundproof, and it seems that the elderly people in rural areas will not speak softly. Moreover, the old lady Feng’s family next door is arguing, and the intermittent words can be heard through the wall.
"Mom! I want to marry Mingyue!"
Old Mrs. Feng was so angry that she almost collapsed: "I won't allow it! If you want to marry me, I won't acknowledge you as my son."
"Okay, then I'll go to Mingyue's house with her." Boss Feng has figured it out. He can't just watch Mingyue suffer. Now Mingyue is willing to marry him, he can't miss it.
Mrs. Feng's eyes went dark: "Say it again, you rebellious son!"
“Bang!”
As he said this, he slapped Boss Feng in the face again.
Boss Feng tilted his head in pain, but still looked at his mother stubbornly: "Mom, I have made up my mind. A few days ago, I thought Mingyue was arrested and sent to a labor camp. I couldn't eat and wanted to go with her."
"If you don't let me marry her, then I will never marry again and our family will be extinct."
Everyone in the room was very angry.
Old Lady Feng was so angry that she was shaking: "That Widow Jin is pregnant with Second Master Lu's child, and the Lu family doesn't want to raise him, so how can you raise him?"
"I don't care whose child she is pregnant with. Once the baby is born, she will call me daddy."
When Old Lady Feng heard these crazy words, she wanted to squat on the ground and cry. "How will Lanlan laugh at me? How can I hold my head up in front of her?"
Hearing this, Shen Wu wanted to hear what Old Lady Feng's son said, but Lan Lan's laughter came to her ears.
This laughter.
Happy.
I couldn't hold it in any longer, my shoulders were shaking.
It seems like he wants to laugh out all the recent frustrations.
With the interruption of Old Lady Lu, Shen Wu listened carefully and heard a sentence——
"Mother, your reputation is related to your son's lifelong happiness. Is it more important to us to have descendants and incense?"
There was no sound from Old Lady Feng for a long time.
Old Lady Lu laughed for a long time, and finally stopped laughing. She asked Chen Wu, "What else did they say?"
Chen Wu felt that she could no longer hear anything, so she looked at Old Lady Lu and said, "What you said is quite important, but I won't tell you, mother. I'm going back to boil some water."
After saying that, he walked away leisurely.
Old Mrs. Lu looked at her back, then leaned against the wall and listened for a while, but she heard nothing, and didn't hear anything further. This third daughter-in-law was really annoying, and she couldn't sleep that night.
Then he walked over to the kitchen and said, "You're still boiling water in the middle of the night, wasting firewood and water, and you don't do anything good. Lao Wu's family is pregnant, but you're still pregnant."
Chen Wu said: "Maybe your son is not good enough."
Chen Wu’s main goal is to avoid internal conflicts and push this matter to her third brother, while Old Lady Lu cannot publicize it.
For every word she said, the third daughter-in-law had ten words waiting for her, and how many young wives in the village could say what she said?
Old Mrs. Lu listened against the wall again and made sure she couldn't hear anything before going back to sleep.
It’s just that Old Mrs. Lu just left.
Lu Xuan pushed the door open and came in.
It was already late at night and he still proved that it was not his fault.

Chen Wu only had one day off a week. The next day, she woke up without even cooking and made an appointment with Xu Yin to go to the county town to purchase things.
Unexpectedly, Long Yujiao also went to the county town and suffered a lot at the hands of Shen Wu and Xu Yin. She hated them to death and was a little afraid of these two people during this period.
"I'm going to the hospital to check on the child."
Long Yujiao smiled and stroked her belly with her hand.
As if showing off.
At this time, Xu Yin didn't want to have children at all. As soon as she came, Xu Yin stayed away from her so as not to pass on the pregnancy to her.
Lao Zhou's car arrived on the road.
Several people got on the bus together, along with other aunties from the village.
When I arrived at Yang's house, Yang Maimiao was waiting at the door. Maybe because of her pregnancy, she had gained a little weight, but her skin was particularly good, and she looked much calmer than before.
Mai Miao got in the car: "Third sister-in-law, Fourth sister-in-law, are you going to the county town too?"
"We don't have enough noodles at home. Let's go buy some more noodles and some green beans to boil for water at the construction site."
Yang Maimiao laughed and said, "No one builds a house like you do, and you even care about the mung bean water."
In fact, there were not many mung beans, just for the taste, but Chen Wu's reputation in the village improved a lot because of this mung bean water.
Yang Maimiao also brought some peach cakes with her, and gave a piece to Shen Wu and Xu Yin. "I'm pregnant now, and I'm getting hungry. My mother and Lu Feng asked me to bring some food."
Speaking of this, Mai Miao's face was full of sweetness.
"Then I can't compete with a pregnant woman for food." Chen Wu pushed it away.
"I brought a lot, you can eat it."
Xu Yin took a bite and looked at the look on Yang Maimiao's face when she talked about her mother. She also missed her parents a little. Thinking of this, she glanced at Long Yujiao again with a cold look in her eyes.
This is the culprit.
Being glanced at by Xu Yin, Long Yujiao felt a chill all over her body, and that suffocating feeling seemed to come back: "I didn't do anything to you."
Xu Yin looked away.
Eat the peach cake.
Chen Wu first went to the grocery store to buy white flour, mung beans, and rice. Since the family split up, she rarely bought sweet potato flour, sorghum flour and other foods.
But white flour and rice are also expensive.
In addition to building a house, Shen Wu still had an economic crisis. She and Xu Yin's consumption concepts were the same as those of later generations. Even if they were restrained in this era, they could not be as frugal as people in this era.
It also needs to be open source.
But there are too few open-source channels in this era. While buying things, Chen Wu was also looking at the people in this county town.
I didn't expect to meet Wang Hua in the grocery store this time.
She was still holding Pan'er's hand.
Pan'er saw Chen Wu first: "Third Aunt!"
She ran over happily and stretched out her hand towards Shen Wu: "Aunt San, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"
As she spoke, she saw Xu Yin. She was a little scared of her fourth aunt, but she still said enthusiastically, "Fourth aunt, I miss you too. Do you miss me?"
Xu Yin nodded slightly.
Shen Wu pinched her face: "Pan'er is so cute, who wouldn't want her?"
Then he looked up at Wang Hua——
