Even though Aunt Yu yelled at them to be careful, the naughty kids seemed not to hear her at all. They continued to laugh and play as they pleased, running forward like a group of wild horses that had broken free from their reins.
Qin Wan stood aside, quietly watching these children having fun, with a helpless smile on his face. He shook his head gently and sighed secretly:
"Well, never mind. Let them indulge themselves this time. After all, they are just innocent children under a year old."
Lu Yu was standing by the bed, with a faint smile on his face and a wet cloth in his hand, wiping the bed continuously.
His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he were treating a precious treasure. The bed looked even cleaner and tidier after he wiped it.
The tables and chairs in the house were also neatly arranged, obviously someone had carefully arranged them.
Lu Yu looked around and thought to himself:
"Looking at this, it's probably Yunpeng's doing. This hardworking and thoughtful guy always takes good care of his friends."
This island is called Yunshan Island, and the country has deployed a division of troops there.
He and Guan Yunpeng were both newly arrived regimental-level cadres on the island. Lu Yu arrived half a year late due to his studies.
Just when Lu Yu and Qin Wan were busy, suddenly, a shrill cry came from outside, like a thunderbolt breaking through the sky, breaking the original tranquility.
"Oh my god, the daughter-in-law is abusing her own mother-in-law!"
The sudden cry made everyone stunned. Everyone looked at each other, confused for a moment.
"What is going on?" Qin Wan looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled look, as if wanting to get an answer from him.
Lu Yu was naturally confused, and Qin Wan didn't expect to get a definite answer from him at all. What she really wanted to ask was how Lu Yu would deal with this difficult situation.
Although Lu Yu was only the new leader, he was still the head of a group after all! If he didn't step in to resolve a situation like this, would it be inappropriate?
To be honest, Qin Wan didn't want Lu Yu to get involved. The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a family affair where each had their own reasons, and it was difficult for a judge to make the final decision. It was often a thankless task.
Of course Lu Yu understood his wife's thoughts. He was very calm and composed, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.
He remained calm and composed as he continued to scrub the bed, oblivious to the noisy scene outside.
The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult to judge. On a larger scale, it may cause unrest in the family; on a smaller scale, it may just be some trivial family matters.
However, the final direction of the situation will depend on the attitudes and handling methods of both parties. So there is no need to rush.
If no one really cares, or the situation is particularly serious, then it's fine for him to come forward. Otherwise, it's better for him not to come forward.
Although Qin Wan looks aloof and arrogant, he is actually a hot-tempered person at heart.
She released her spiritual sense to investigate the specific situation there.
Soon, she discovered that in front of the door of the house at the back of the third row of houses, there was a round, fat old lady sitting on the ground in a completely ungraceful manner, acting like a spoiled child.
The old lady slapped the ground repeatedly and cursed at the top of her voice:
"Li Zhaodi, ah Li Zhaodi, you are such a heartless ungrateful bastard! I have treated you well over the years, and you actually dared to hit an old woman like me! Come on! Come and beat me to death!"
Not far in front of the old lady, stood a middle-aged woman, so thin she barely resembled a human. She clutched a young child in her arms, her entire body like a puppet with its soul taken away, frozen in place, motionless.
"I'm going to die! What the hell is going on?"
There was only an angry shout, and then a woman in her forties wearing a blue apron and with some flour on her hair rushed out from the opposite door in a hurry.
The woman kept mumbling something as she ran.
When she got closer, she stopped, pointed at the old lady standing there making trouble, and shouted:
"Mrs. Zhou, what are you doing? Look at what you've done to Zhaodi!"
Seeing this, the old lady called Mrs. Zhou quickly turned around and cried to the woman who came to mediate:
"Oh my, Director Fang, you're finally here! Please come and judge for yourself! It's clearly this daughter-in-law who's trying to force a poor country woman like me to death. It's not me who's causing trouble!"
As she spoke, the old lady slapped her thighs vigorously, and the jade bracelets on her hands collided with her movements, making crisp tinkling sounds.
It turned out that the middle-aged woman who rushed out was the director of the neighborhood committee’s Women’s Federation, whose surname was Fang.
As for this old lady, her husband's surname was Zhou, and everyone respectfully called her Old Lady Zhou. She had been living with her son Zhou Aiguo, and could barely be considered a military dependent.
As for the haggard and skinny woman, her name was Li Zhaodi, and she was Zhou Aiguo's wife. The timid little girl was naturally the daughter of Zhou Aiguo and Li Zhaodi.
"Stop crying! Mrs. Zhou!"
Director Fang shouted sternly, stopping the crying Old Lady Zhou. He then quickly turned his head, staring directly at the woman named Li Zhaodi, and said sternly:
"Li Zhaodi, now it's your turn to explain to me what exactly happened."
Hearing this, Li Zhaodi trembled all over and avoided looking at Director Fang.
Her lips trembled slightly as she tried to speak, but after a long pause she could only utter a few fragmented words:
"I...she...she...I...Xiaocao...I..."
The sound became smaller and smaller, until it was almost as thin as a mosquito.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou glared at Li Zhaodi fiercely, her face full of impatience. Then, she suddenly lifted her sleeves and exposed her arms.
When everyone looked closely, they saw several bright red marks on it, which was shocking.
Old Mrs. Zhou pointed at the scars and angrily shouted at Director Fang:
"Look at this! Take a good look! All these injuries were caused by this woman beating me like this!"
After saying that, she glared at Li Zhaodi viciously.
Facing Mrs. Zhou's accusations and the shocking injury
