Luo Qianyu turned around and saw a hunchbacked old lady stepping in by holding the door frame.

Lu Jiuchuan and others called her "Grandma", and Luo Qianyu also called out.

Old Mrs. Lu didn't even glance at her. She stepped over the threshold and walked into the living room with her hands behind her back.

"Where did your mother go? Why didn't she show up when her wife came home?"

Lu Siman made a face behind her and shouted towards the kitchen:

"Mom, my milk is coming, come out quickly."

Then Luo Qianyu saw her mother-in-law, wearing a torn dress and rushing out with a kitchen knife in her hand.

"Oh, I was busy in the kitchen and didn't have time to ask Ah Chuan to invite you. Why are you coming here in person?"

Then Lu Jiuchuan grabbed her hand, bent down and whispered in her ear:

"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

She smiled back and nodded slightly.

Mrs. Lu, who was walking into the living room, had already started to complain:

"Zhang Guifen, you have a bad background. You are the eldest daughter of a landlord and you have received education. How come you don't even know the most basic etiquette?"

"When a new bride comes home, she has to pay respects to the elders no matter what. Should she serve tea first?"

"Haha." Zhang Guifen smiled and unbuttoned her ragged clothes. "Mom is right. Please sit down."

Then he said to Luo Jiuchuan and the others:

"Achuan, ask your wife to pour a cup of tea for grandma and me, and then introduce ourselves to the people."

"In this new society, kneeling and greeting are no longer popular. Just pour two cups of tea."

Old Mrs. Lu sat on the wooden master chair in the middle of the living room, and she also sat on the other side.

Slap the knife in your hand on the square coffee table in the middle.

This made Old Mrs. Lu shudder and swallow the nagging on her lips.

Lu Jiuchuan winked at Lu Siman.

Lu Siman trotted to the nearby dining table, poured two cups of tea, and brought them to Luo Qianyu on a tray.

Luo Qianyu first handed a cup to Old Mrs. Lu and called her "Grandma".

After she took it, without waiting for her to respond, he turned around, took another cup and handed it to Zhang Guifen, calling "Mom".

“Hey!~”

Zhang Guifen responded crisply, rubbed her hands on the tattered clothes she was wearing, and then took out a red envelope:

"Change your words and live a good life from now on."

Then he waved to the two children hiding outside the door:

"Come in and meet your mother. Dingyu, you guys should also let the sister-in-law meet you."

The two children ran over and snuggled up to her.

Lu Jiuchuan's two younger brothers and Lu Siman stood in a row and said to Luo Qianyu:

"Hello, sister-in-law. I wish you a happy wedding and a long-lasting happiness together!"

Luo Qianyu took the red envelopes and started giving them out.

She posted one, and Luo Jiuchuan followed up with one:

"My second brother, Lu Dingyu, is 20 years old this year and is studying at home to prepare for the college entrance examination."

"My third brother, Lu Xuezhou, is 18 years old and still in high school."

"My little sister, Lu Siman, is 14 years old and is in junior high school."

Luo Qianyu called out again, and several people thanked her with a smile.

The second one was a little shy, while the third one was more like Lu Jiuchuan, with a calm expression, but both of them had red faces.

According to her understanding, it is not easy for people of this generation to go to school, and they start school late. The age difference in a class is particularly large.

It was rare that her mother-in-law and Lu Jiuchuan could send all the children in the family to school.

But just by hearing the names of a few people, I felt that my mother-in-law was different from other families in the brigade, and she should be a cultured person.

This made her even more curious about her mother-in-law.

After recognizing several younger brothers and sisters, Lu Jiuchuan brought the two children to her.

"Call me mom."

Then he introduced her:

"The older boy is 5 years old and his name is Henian. The younger girl is 3 years old and her name is Hesui. I will explain the rest to you later."

The two children huddled beside Lu Jiuchuan without saying a word. The boy named Henian had a defensive look in his eyes.

Luo Qianyu had never interacted with children before and didn't know what to do, so he stuffed the red envelope into the child's hand somewhat stiffly.

Unexpectedly, Henian didn't answer it. Instead, he grabbed Hesui and ran away. No matter how the adults called him, he didn't turn back.

Lu Jiuchuan explained in a muffled voice:

"They might be...shy."

Zhang Guifen ignored them and turned to look at Old Lady Lu:

"Mom, Achuan's wife has given red envelopes to her younger brothers, sisters and children. Shouldn't you give some to Achuan's wife too?"

Old Mrs. Lu put the teacup heavily on the table with a thump.

"He looks like a piece of wood and a bean sprout, thin and yellow. He is not worth a hundred yuan for the bride price."

"Does the money in your family come from the wind? If you spend so much money, why not find someone with big breasts and a big butt?"

Luo Qianyu was unhappy, but she held back and didn't say anything. She wanted to see how the Lu family would deal with it.

But even the most lively Lu Siman didn't say anything.

Her mother-in-law, who was said to have a bad temper, drank a sip of tea and then said slowly:

"Mom, if I remember correctly, the year Achuan's father died, you said that I had a bad background and kicked us out of the house."

"Today is Ah Chuan's big wedding day. Come over to drink the wedding wine. I can reserve a seat for you at the main table. After all, you are an elder and a guest."

"You insisted on being polite, and we agreed to your request, but not only did you not pay us for changing our words, you also pointed fingers at me."

"Achuan, Ayu, your grandma doesn't know etiquette. Send her back to your uncle's house and don't reserve a seat for her at the wedding banquet."

Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up trembling, with a mouthful of phlegm stuck in her throat.

If you want to curse someone, you can only make a "hehe" sound.

The two brothers Lu Jiuchuan each held one of her up and helped her walk out.

No drag at all.

Luo Qianyu held back her laughter and silently gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up in her heart.

But Zhang Guifen drank the cup of tea in one gulp, then stood up and looked at her with disgust on her face.

A few wrinkles appeared on the rosy and plump face:

"What your grandma said is not entirely wrong. He is indeed as thin and yellow as a bean sprout. He doesn't look like a member of our Lu family at all."

"Hey, Siman, take your sister-in-law to the new house, and then come to the kitchen to help. I'm really busy."

After saying that, he picked up the kitchen knife on the coffee table, sighed again, shook his head and walked away.

For a moment, Luo Qianyu really didn't know how to get along with this mother-in-law.

Lu Siman took her arm carelessly:

"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. If you get to know mom for a long time, you will know that she is not a bad person. She just often says whatever she thinks."

"Come on, I'll take you to the new house."

The new house was Lu Jiuchuan’s original room, with big red wedding characters pasted on the doors, windows, quilts and pillows.

All you can see is red, and the house is very tidy, as if no one has ever lived there.

Lu Siman brought her into the room and ran away in a hurry.

Luo Qianyu sat in the bed bored, feeling mixed emotions that he didn't know how to describe.

Marrying and living in another family is more complicated than imagined. It is better to live in the last days, without any worries and fight against it if you don’t agree.

Thinking of this, she sighed.

Suddenly two little heads popped out of the window and looked at her secretly.

She pursed her lips and thought hard, but couldn't figure out how to be a stepmother, so she simply waved to the two little guys:

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, come in."

The little ones came holding hands.

She grabbed a handful of candy and squatted in front of the little ones.

He Sui reached out to grab the candy, but He Nian knocked it out of her hand:

"We don't want a mother."

After Henian finished speaking, he pulled Hesui up and ran out, shouting again:

"We don't want a mother."

Luo Qianyu was helpless. No wonder people said it was difficult to be a stepmother.

But she was not the type to regret things, so she decided immediately: if they could live together, they would live together, and if not, she would divorce decisively.

She won't compromise herself just to curry favor with the male lead!
