Although Lu Xuan brought only a tattered bedding roll, torn socks, and torn pants, it was impossible to hide the fact that the Lu family's life was getting better day by day.
Didn't you see that after Lu Xuan came back, his daughter had changed into a new dress and shoes, and even had a children's hairpin in her hair? The fabric and the style of the hairpin were obviously not found in other small places.
Not to mention his wife Shen Wu, the way she dresses is better than any other married young lady. She wears a red plaid blouse and high heels, which shows off her figure very well.
Many people were envious when they saw it.
Chen Wu also knew that she was eye-catching, but she had been eye-catching for a long time. This dress was picked for her by Lu Xuan, and the dress was beautiful. If she didn't wear it, what would happen if this man didn't buy it for her in the future?
As for what people in the village say behind her back, Chen Wu has never been afraid of what others say behind her back. Of course, if she hears it, don't blame her for exaggerating it.
No one dared to say anything in front of her.
If we were to say who is the most sour family, it would have to be the Lu family. Boss Lu was really confused.
While eating, he kept muttering, "Lu Xuanhe is like a lunatic. With that money, why don't he buy something for himself? I see he bought something for his wife."
"Chen Wu is the same. She only knows how to enjoy herself and doesn't know how to feel sorry for her man."
Mrs. Lu gave birth to another daughter and felt a little desperate. Since the family split up, Chen Wu had been getting further and further away from her.
Even when people are close to you, you still want to compete with her.
After so long, seeing that Chen Wu's family was living a better and better life, she no longer had any desire to compare with them. Listening to Boss Lu's complaints, she just felt sad.
"We are all brothers. I think Lu Xuan is much more reliable than you now."
When Boss Lu heard this, he said, "How can that be the same? I haven't been to jail."
"Count it up, how many people in our family have not been to labor camps? I am one of them."
"I'm a good person. Lu Xuan doesn't follow the right path. I'm watching. I don't know when he'll have to go to jail again."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on his daughter lying on the bed: "You are still blaming me, why don't you learn from your fifth brother's wife? Look at how pregnant she is, two babies, four sons."
"If you give me a few sons, I will die without regrets."
Li Ping felt heartwarming when she heard this. She was not so annoyed with Chen Wu recently, although she occasionally felt that Chen Wu and the third brother had only one daughter after being married for several years, so why was the third brother so good to him?
But they were too far away, and Chen Wu didn't have much interaction with her in daily life. What annoyed her more now was Long Yujiao. She was the only one who could give birth to four sons at once?
They had already separated, but whenever something happened, Lanlan would always scold her for giving birth to a son for Boss Lu and compare her family with Boss Five's.
She didn't ask for a betrothal gift of 188 yuan, but she kept 100 yuan for herself.
In addition to Lanlan, Boss Lu usually expresses his dissatisfaction by comparing her with Long Yujiao. Li Ping is actually more annoyed with Long Yujiao now.
Hearing Boss Lu comparing her again, she simply rolled her eyes at him: "She can give birth to a son, why don't you go with her?"
"You go give her one hundred and eighty-eight dollars too!"
…
The two started bickering in the middle of the night.
Chen Wu didn't know about the Lu family. Unexpectedly, one day when she was passing by the Lu family after get off work, she was stopped by Li Ping.
"Third sister-in-law."
Shen Wu looked at her suspiciously.
Li Ping smiled widely: "Third sister-in-law, how is my daughter doing in school?"
Chen Wu was surprised when she heard Li Ping's question. Li Ping's three daughters are now in school, but none of them are in her class. The tuition fees are all paid by Lu Qing. Wang Hua couldn't stand it and gave them clothes from time to time. She also gave the clothes that Panpan didn't wear to the daughters of the eldest family through Lu Qing.
Li Ping had never cared about these girls. Shen Wu looked at Li Ping and said, "Sister-in-law, just tell me what you have to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Li Ping was exposed by her and looked a little embarrassed.
"Nothing much, it's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I just wanted to talk to you." He lowered his voice and said, "Third brother, you know that the fifth brother doesn't like you?"
Why did Li Ping suddenly come to her and ask her what Long Yujiao was doing?
Shen Wu felt very strange in her heart.
His expression remained calm: "So what? There are many people who dislike me. I don't need everyone to care."
When Li Ping heard Shen Wu's words, she was speechless.
That's really rude of you.
I just wonder if Long Yujiao would be furious if she heard this.
"It's nothing, I just think she has bad intentions. Compared to her, our relationship is still better." Li Ping said as she pulled Chen Wu's arm.
Chen Wu dodged the attack without leaving a trace, feeling that the man was being too attentive for no reason and was either a traitor or a thief.
Shen Wu's movements were natural, so Li Ping didn't take it to heart: "She's been acting strangely lately. Every day when she cooks, she's reading a book."
"I think she doesn't like you. Even Old Lady Feng next door can see it. She's been so low-key lately, just reading. Is she trying to replace you as her teacher?"
"Third sister-in-law, I'm telling you this out of kindness..."
Chen Wu did feel that Long Yujiao had been much more low-key recently. Ever since Xu Yin shot her with an arrow on the mountain last time, she didn't seem to have taken the initiative to cause trouble for her again?
Just meet occasionally.
It was also a forced smile...
Considering what Li Ping just said, it is impossible to replace her teacher's position, and her background probably won't pass the review.
Why are you reading so seriously?
Chen Wu blinked. Could it be that she is preparing for the college entrance examination now?
The more you think about it, the more likely it becomes.
Chen Wu and Li Ping chatted for a while, and finally ended with Li Ping asking her to give her more food and clothes if she had any leftovers at home.
*
Shen Wu's guess was correct. Long Yujiao was indeed not planning to continue wasting time in this small place with Shen Wu and Xu Yin. She wanted to study hard, prepare in advance, and return to the city early.
She was exhausted from doing farm work in this small place, and she would hate it if she stayed here for the rest of her life.
She had to make sure she could get out of this place. By then, the college entrance examination had just been resumed, and the country needed talented people...
By the time she graduated, reform and opening up had begun, and there was gold everywhere.
By then, she will be as successful and famous as described in her book. Will Chen Wu and Xu Yin still be so high and mighty?
When Long Yujiao thought about that scene, she wanted to laugh.
As soon as Lu Cheng pushed the door open, he saw Long Yujiao reading a book with a faint smile on her face. His heart was stirred slightly, and he seemed to see the time when the two of them just met.
She was an educated youth who had just been sent to the countryside. When he went to pick her up, others were complaining about the poverty of this place, but she was reading a book. I don’t know what she saw that made her happy, but she just had such a gentle smile on her face that she didn’t even notice the person next to her bumping into her.
It was Lu Cheng who gave him a hand.
Lu Cheng walked over, coughed lightly, and stared at Long Yujiao with a fiery gaze: "Yujiao, take a shower and go to bed."
