"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Hui stopped eating the meat and looked at his mother.
If he separates from the family and lives alone, he will be left without a mother. If he asks his wife to return to her parents' home and remarry, he will be left without a wife, and he doesn't want that.
Mother Lu glared at him and said, "Shut up. I'm asking about your wife."
Zhang Xiu Lan was also stunned and even a little flustered.
I knew that this meal was not simple. I originally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the third daughter-in-law and let her see who is the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family. I didn't expect the old lady to say such tough words.
Is he really going to turn things around? If he does, will he target his daughter-in-law?
No matter how dissatisfied she was in her heart, she dared not show it on her face. If she really got into a fight, her mother-in-law would really ask her to go back to her parents' home.
Her parents are gone, and her three brothers have separated and live on their own. Where can she go back to her parents' home?
"Mom, I'm just talking. I'm not going anywhere."
Besides, he didn't say this in the same arrogant tone as before.
"Since you're not going anywhere, then live a good life. Don't stare at other people's families all day long. Our Lu family doesn't stare at the little things in our wives' hands all day long. It's not just Wanwan. If any of you have money given by your parents, it's all yours. Others must not be jealous."
Zhang Xiu Lan secretly curled her lips. She also wanted her parents' money, but there was no such thing.
Wang Sanni was different. It was the first time she heard her mother-in-law speak so formally.
In the past, when her elder sister-in-law bullied her in words and deeds, it was never under her mother-in-law's nose. Sometimes, her elder sister-in-law would make a fuss and ignore everything, and her mother-in-law rarely got involved. She thought her mother-in-law was really a nobody.
But then again, if she really couldn't do it, why would the sister-in-law always avoid doing those things with the mother-in-law? I think the sister-in-law knew how powerful the mother-in-law was in the first few years she came here.
What Wang Sanni regrets most now is that she was too weak before and did not dare to make things public, otherwise her sister-in-law would not have become more and more rampant.
After talking about Zhang Xiulan, Mother Lu looked at Wang Sanni again and said, "Second brother's family, we have wronged you over the years. Your eldest brother is not ambitious, and the second brother is honest. Mother knows it has not been easy for you."
Just with this one sentence, Wang Sanni's eyes reddened and she no longer felt wronged at all.
After Wang Sanni finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Wanwan again, but was stopped by Jiang Wanwan just as she started, "Mom, I know what you want to say. I don't feel wronged by marrying Lu Xiao. We are doing well now. As long as we live a good life, our lives will only get better and better."
Mother Lu nodded in satisfaction, her eyes slightly red. "The third daughter-in-law is right. As long as we live a good life, there will be no hurdles that we can't overcome. Things will get better and better in the future. No more words, let's eat."
The Lu family was having a lively dinner, and the educated youth were also looking forward to this dinner.
During the days that Du Jiaming was ill, the educated youth helped a lot. They did not participate in cooking during the autumn harvest. Today was a good opportunity for him and Qiao Wenwan to cook a meal for everyone to show their appreciation and repay the favor.
Du Jiaming doesn't know how to cook. When Jiang Wanwan and the other two lived together before, he only lit the fire, and the rest was prepared by Qiao Wenwan and Jiang Wanwan.
Those two people have the final say on what to do and how to do it.
Today he still helped to light the fire and watched Qiao Wennuan busy herself.
Under the dim light, Qiao Wenwan's little face looked a little childish, and Du Jiaming stared at her in a trance.
In his dreams, Qiao Wenwan always appeared as a strong woman. Ever since he had that long dream, he could hardly remember her fresh and youthful appearance.
A small face the size of a palm, a pointed chin, delicate eyebrows and eyes. So he likes such a little beauty?
I really can’t remember. Maybe when I was young, I liked such weak and protective women.
Later, her personality became stronger. Although she would be gentle and considerate in front of him, this sense of weakness was almost gone.
However, this face still has no flesh on the cheeks even after getting older, which makes it look a little mean.
I couldn't help but think of her face during the day, a standard oval face with a full forehead and fleshy cheeks, a different kind of beauty.
However, no matter how beautiful a flower is, it will wither early in such an environment.
Her life in the previous life was not long, and she chose the path in this life herself, so she probably won't go far.
If she could be a little softer and not be so willful with him, he might be able to help her.
To be honest, he had let her down in his previous life, so he should just repay her a favor.
Qiao Wenwan saw that Du Jiaming was always in a daze, either looking at her or looking at the stove, and she always felt that something was different.
"Brother Jiaming, how could Wanwan do this? She knew we didn't have much rations, but she still tried to steal them. If it weren't for her, the other comrades at the educated youth camp wouldn't have been separated from us."
Originally, Li Meiling suggested that everyone should take care of their own food, and the other educated youth were still hesitant. But now that Jiang Wanwan wanted to take away most of their food, the others agreed to Li Meiling's proposal without thinking.
The food list has been drawn up, and everyone will take turns cooking from now on.
Du Jiaming only knows how to light the fire, so she has to cook around the stove every day.
When she thought of this, Qiao Wenwan hated Jiang Wanwan to death.
"Just give it to her. I already owe her something. As for the rest, I can figure out a way later."
Du Jiaming didn't think it was a big deal. He didn't care about a few bags of corn.
Qiao Wenwan was so anxious that she almost jumped up and down, "If we give it all to her, how are we going to survive the winter?"
Du Jiaming added a few pieces of firewood into the stove. The fire was bright and warm on his body.
He looked up at Qiao Wenwan, with a hint of indulgence towards the little girl, "It's just some corn. There's always a way to deal with it. There's no need to worry about such trivial matters."
A small matter? Seeing that he really didn't seem anxious, Qiao Wenwan slowly felt relieved.
Yes, the Du family is about to turn things around. In the future, the Du family will be richer than the Jiang family. The Du family will definitely not watch Brother Jiaming starve.
Thinking of this, Qiao Wenwan felt relieved, and said with a little shyness, "Then I will listen to Brother Jiaming."
Du Jiaming added more fire to the stove and looked at the flames without saying anything.
Liu De poked his head in again and asked, "Qiao Zhiqing, Du Zhiqing, is the meal ready? I'm starving."
Knowing that Du Jiaming was going to treat everyone to dinner today, Liu De didn't eat much for lunch.
It just so happens that today the brigade is distributing grain, and moving the food around is all hard work.
"It's almost done, it will be ready soon," Qiao Wenwan quickly put the cabbage into the pot and put a circle of pancakes on the edge of the pot.
The room was dark, and Liu De couldn't see what the two people had cooked after working for so long, and there was no smell of meat.
But Liu De didn't think much about it. Du Jiaming has always been generous, and Qiao Wenwan's cooking skills are also good. It might be that he caught a cold today and his nose was not open.
After hearing what Qiao Wenwan said, he turned around and went to find Yang Jun and his friends. After a long fuss, he finally managed to get out the half bottle of wine that Yang Jun had hidden.
"That's right, good food should be paired with wine. This year's grain harvest is great, so we should celebrate, right?"
