Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Your grandson is a dog for my granddaughter...
This was the first time Lu Xin saw Shen Miao being so aggressive towards someone.
In Lu Xin's impression, she seemed to be polite to everyone. Even though many people in the class disliked her, she had never lost her temper with anyone.
Lu Xin once imagined that he would protect her and become her most solid support in the future. Now it seems that he thought too much...
"Girl, how old are you?"
"Twenty-six years old."
"Ah? It's this big now."
"Yeah, I'm only about twenty years younger than you."
"Where is home?"
"Qinghe Village, east of the city."
"Ah, you're from the countryside... but you don't look like someone who works in the fields, do you?"
"My parents loved me, and I never had to work since I was a child. But I often fought in the village. If anyone in the village was mean, asked endless questions, or liked to gossip, I would go up to her and tear her mouth."
At the very least, people should be as unscrupulously mean as Shen Miao for once.
Lu Xin brought his "future girlfriend" to his brother's first birthday party. Not only the relatives from the Lu family, but also the relatives from the Yang family were very curious. They turned their heads to look at their table from time to time, wanting to see who she was.
Perhaps it was because Yang Feng, the mistress who came to power, set an example of being able to call the shots, or perhaps it was because this group of relatives had no awareness of their own status and they all really considered themselves to be Lu Xin's relatives.
While eating, there are always a few blind people who find a reason to come over and ask Shen Miao questions, pretending to be "elders caring about the younger generation".
Shen Miao is not like Lu Xin, who needs to consider his father and grandfather, and has to maintain superficial harmony with them no matter how much he dislikes them in his heart.
In addition to coming to cause trouble for Lu Jianghai, she also came to support Lu Xin.
She just wanted to let these mistress's relatives know that even if his father didn't love him, not everyone could step on him. Even if his biological mother wasn't around to accompany him, there would still be people who would protect him.
If they were simply curious and wanted to come over to show concern, then Shen Miao could have spoken to them politely;
But if they want to show off and want to give themselves a warning, then Shen Miao will let them know that if they mess with this nail of hers, they will be stabbed and bleed.
Shen Miao originally looked down on the mistress, and even more so on the relatives who followed the mistress to rise to prominence.
It’s because my parents and grandpa unexpectedly showed up here today, otherwise something even worse would be waiting for them.
Shen Miao scooped a large spoonful of beef fillet into Lu Xin's bowl: "Don't you like beef? Eat it."
"Huh?"
Seeing that Shen Miao was almost about to finish the remaining beef on the plate, another woman at the same table said, “There are only a few pieces of beef left. Why are you taking so much at once? What are you going to eat with so many small pieces?”
Shen Miao didn’t even look at her, “When you took away all the braised pork just now, you didn’t say to leave a bite for us.”
“Lu Xin!” Seeing that Shen Miao was not someone to be trifled with, the woman turned her attention to Lu Xin again, “Why don’t you take care of your girlfriend? We are all family, how can she do things like that?”
Under the table, Shen Miao held down his hand, signaling him not to speak, but her face remained calm.
Shen Miao: “He can’t control me. When we are together, I have the final say.”
"Hey, you are still weird," the woman snorted sarcastically and continued to say to Lu Xin, "Lu Xin, after all, you are a grown man of 1.8 meters. You can't be so afraid of women, right? If you are so soft-hearted, in the future..."
"Ah? Sister, are you doing this for Lu Xin's sake? Or are you targeting certain people in your family?" Shen Miao sucked on her chopsticks while looking at Yang Feng at the main table.
"I see that uncle listens to aunt very much. You let Lu Xin take care of me. Do you think aunt is too arrogant at home and want uncle to put down her arrogance?"
"No, no, this shouldn't be about uncle and aunt. Don't tell me you want Grandpa Lu to take care of his in-laws? Tsk tsk, sister, we as juniors can't do things like this. Even if we know something, we can't say it openly."
The woman didn’t know about the ancestors at first, but when Shen Miao said it, she immediately understood what Shen Miao meant. She just wanted to straighten her back, but it drooped down again after a while.
Seeing that Shen Miao had won another victory, Lu Xin beside her hurriedly brought her a cup of chrysanthemum tea with both hands: “Sister, have a drink of water to moisten your skin.”
Seeing Shen Miao charging forward for him and seeing these people from the Yang family being humiliated, Lu Xin felt extremely happy.
It seemed like he hadn't been protected like this for a long time.
Ever since his mother divorced and went abroad, he had to grow up under Lu Jianghai's supervision.
He wanted to be a genius, to be the pride of the Lu family, and to shoulder the future glory of the Lu family. His grandfather and father had high expectations for him, but they forgot that he was actually just a child.
Not only the newborn Lu Miao needs family care, he also needs it.
Looking at Shen Miao's profile, Lu Xin recalled the time when he had a fight with a classmate in primary school. It was his mother who stood up for him in the head teacher's office and argued with reason, which made the boy who took the initiative to pick a fight admit his fault.
At that time, my father and grandfather...
"Your stepmother, tsk tsk, you are not a good person at first glance."
Glancing secretly at Yang Feng at the main table, Shen Miao pretended to eat the food on the plate, but was actually whispering to Lu Xin: “She should be very good at lying, right?”
Having met many people since childhood with Shen Wanshan, Shen Miao had also learned some physiognomy and could see some clues from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
A pair of drooping peach blossom eyes, a bright smile in the previous second can turn into anger in the next second, and a pair of eyes that keep glancing around, like a fox full of bad intentions, always wanting to steal the chicken legs hanging on the beams.
Lu Xin nodded, "She forced my dad and mom to divorce because she said she was pregnant."
“This woman has a lot of tricks in her mind. She must have lied to your father about more than one or two things,” Shen Miao snorted and put some more food on her plate. “Anyone who lies should be dragged away and have their tongues pulled out.”
Liar?
Seeing Shen Miao sneer at deception so much, Lu Xin felt a little guilty.
"There are exceptions, like white lies?" Lu Xin asked tentatively.
Shen Miao answered firmly, “A lie is a lie, there is no such thing as good intentions or bad intentions.”
The piece of meat in Lu Xin's mouth suddenly became choking and he couldn't swallow it for a long time.
"What if I lied to you someday?"
Shen Miao turned her head and glanced at him, then pushed his forehead with her finger, "Don't I know how many tricks you have? If you want to deceive me, I will definitely see through it at a glance."
"What if, what if I lied to you, will you forgive me?"
“No,” Shen Miao answered straightforwardly while eating the cumin mutton sandwich in her hand, “I hate it most when people lie to me. Is there any truth that cannot be told? So no matter who it is, as long as they lie to me, I will never forgive them.”
Lu Xin pursed his lips, wanting to confess something to her, but there was a force pressing on his shoulders, making it impossible for him to say anything...
Everyone had almost finished eating, but the dishes had not yet been served, so people at many tables put down their chopsticks and picked up their wine glasses.
At the table with children, only a few people continued to eat. The younger ones ran to find their parents. Even if there were a few left, they stayed away from Shen Miao and Lu Xin.
There was no way, who made Shen Miao so aggressive? Even adults couldn't stand it, let alone children.
Lu Jianghai hovered the glass in his hand over the glass in front of Shen Wanshan and asked calmly, "Old Shen, do you know that your granddaughter is dating my grandson?"
pull?
Haha, Lu Jianghai is quite good at using words.
"I don't know. I just found out today that Lu Xin is pursuing my granddaughter." Shen Wanshan raised his glass and clinked it with his own, then drank it all in one gulp. "The last time Lu Xin came to my house to help, I felt like a farmhand coming to work for the landlord, not like they were dating."
"help?"
Shen Wanshan asked back: "Why? You don't know?"
Lu Jianghai's face darkened for a moment, but he soon smiled again.
"So what do you think about what happened today? Do you object to them being together?" Lu Jianghai asked again.
Shen Wanshan took a bite of the food and suppressed the taste of alcohol in his mouth: "Let them be. Although the age difference is a bit big, if they really fall in love, no one can stop them. But I think...it will not work out in the future."
Seeing Shen Wanshan say this, Lu Jianghai's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed.
Can't do it? Does that mean you don't agree?
That's good!
“Yeah, I think so too,” Lu Jianghai slightly changed his sitting posture and leaned back on the chair, “Your Shen Miao has never found a friend. I guess she has high standards and must look down on this kid from our family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be nearly thirty and still not get married.”
"A girl as outstanding as Miaomiao should find a successful, mature and steady man who is worthy of her. There are so many young people in your village. Haven't you met a suitable one in all these years?"
Shen Wanshan: ???
Why does this sound so awkward?
Shen Wanshan did not respond to him openly. He picked up the wine and refilled their glasses. He said slowly: "Yes, there are many young men chasing her. They are good and capable. It's just that her parents have high standards for choosing a son-in-law, and they have never chosen a suitable one."
"If you ask me, conditions and looks are not important. The most important thing is to be strong and upright, and be a real man."
As he was talking, Shen Wanshan saw that Lu Xin, who had just picked up some food for Shen Miao, now started to peel crabs for her.
As for Shen Miao, she was just like Empress Dowager Cixi, eating only the dishes she liked.
"Look, how good Lu Xin is to her. His eyes are filled with my Miao Miao." After a pause, Shen Wanshan covered his mouth slightly and said jokingly, "Well, this look is the same as the one you look down on his wife. Tell me, does it look like a dog chasing buns on the street?"
Lu Jianghai:!!!
What do you mean? You said my grandson is a dog?
No...are you scolding him or me?
*
"What? Miaomiao is in love?!"
That day, Qin He and Luo Jialin came to Shen's house to celebrate their move into a new home.
It was during her chat with Shen Wanshan that she heard about Shen Miao and Lu Xin’s relationship.
"Oh, I was wondering why there is always a boy picking her up." After taking a sip of the flower and fruit tea in the cup, Qin He smiled and teased her, "I thought he was her adopted brother, but I didn't expect it to be her boyfriend~"
"No, we haven't talked about it yet."
Putting down the wool scarf she was knitting, Shen Miao replied embarrassedly: "He is just pursuing me now, and I haven't agreed to be with him yet."
"So do you like him?" Luo Jialin asked indifferently.
"Yeah... I like him, but it's not the kind of love between men and women. I just treat him as a younger brother and think he's an interesting person."
Maybe it was because she had been tutoring and reviewing for school all day and hadn't come into contact with strangers for too long, she felt that every day was boring and the taste was blander than plain water.
But to Shen Miao, Lu Xin is like the popping beads in the water. Although he cannot change the taste of the water, every bite he takes is sour and sweet.
Shen Miao had never been in love, but she could still tell the difference between being moved and being happy.
Qin He nodded, and then reminded her: "If you don't like it, you should tell them as soon as possible. Don't delay them, otherwise they will talk about you behind your back."
“I told him many times, but he still wants to chase me.” With a faint sigh, Shen Miao wrapped the wool around her little finger and continued to fiddle with the half-knitted scarf in her hand. “Alas~ maybe he is still young. When he gets tired of chasing me one day, he can figure it out himself.”
Shen Wanshan and the others had the same idea as Shen Miao, and they also didn't think that far ahead.
If it works out, that's the best, if not, forget it, anyway, Shen Miao is already in her twenties and at the age to get married, there's nothing wrong with having someone around to try to get along with.
Besides, Shen Miao had never given them any worries since she was a child. She knew whether the other party was suitable or not, and she didn’t need them, the parents, to give her advice.
They felt that as long as Shen Miao could decide for herself, if she really got together with Lu Xin, age would not be a problem, household registration would not be a difference, and all difficulties could be overcome, including the relationship with the Lu family.
Unfortunately, the Lu family doesn’t think so.
Because Lu Xin took Chen Miao out for dinner that day, Lu Jianghai was so angry that his blood pressure was high for several days after he returned home. He repeatedly ordered Lu Xin to cut off contact with Chen Miao.
Adolescent boys are rebellious, not to mention that Lu Xin is already an adult. The more Lu Jianghai forces him to break up, the more he insists on being with Shen Miao. Not only does he deliberately confess to Shen Miao loudly in school, he also helps Shen Miao scold several teachers who have made trouble for her, determined to slap him in the face.
Last week, Lu Jianghai said that he would not be allowed to go home unless he gave up Shen Miao, so Lu Xin simply moved to the Shen family with his luggage and stayed with Shen Wanshan for several days.
Not only was Lu Xin not angry, he also smiled and thanked him, saying that if he hadn't objected, he wouldn't have been able to spend every day with Shen Miao.
Just a few simple words almost made Lu Jianghai faint in the office.
Lu Jianghai said he wanted to teach Lu Xin a lesson, but ended up torturing himself. After half a month, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and relented, saying that he was allowed to pursue Shen Miao, but he must not bring her home again.
As for Lu Yuanming, the father, and his mistress and stepmother, they did not dare to stop them.
He was able to show off his power to the relatives at his son's first birthday party, and ridiculed both adults and children without restraint. If she was really pissed off, she would make his family affairs known to the whole world.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...
Bringing the washed fruits and placing them on the table, Wang Dongmei glanced at the scarf that Shen Miao was knitting, “You still say you don’t like me, but I see you’ve knitted two or three scarves, right?”
"Oh, it's not for him."
Shen Miao showed a corner of the scarf, which was an exquisitely embroidered lotus, "It was knitted for Grandma Qin."
She had been staying at Qin He's house for some time, disturbing her for several months. Shen Miao felt embarrassed, so she knitted a scarf for her, thinking that it would be cold in winter.
Not only Grandma Qin, she also knitted a few for Zhou's younger sisters Zhaodi, Pandi, and Yao Heng.
Wang Dongmei knits sweaters and trousers for Shen Wanshan and Shen Shansheng every year. Shen Miao's skills are limited, and she has to concentrate on reviewing and preparing for exams every day, so she can only knit a few simple scarves in her free time.
As for Lu Xin’s…if I still have time after knitting these, I might knit one for him too.
"Miao Miao's craftsmanship is good. Look, it's so densely woven. It's much better than the ones sold in shopping malls." Touching the scarf that Shen Miao had half knitted, Qin He couldn't help but praise her, "Don't worry, knit slowly. When you finish knitting, I will definitely wear it every day."
"Why!"
Looking at Luo Jialin at the side, Shen Miao took out several balls of dark grey wool from under the bag and said, “Uncle, can I knit for you in this colour?”
Luo Jialin was stunned, "Me too?"
Shen Miao: “Yes, I will knit it for you after I finish knitting for grandma, but I don’t know if you like this color.”
“Okay, this color is pretty good.”
Touching the two balls of wool, Luo Jialin seemed to be able to imagine what the scarf would look like after it was sewn.
The wool is of very good quality, it is densely woven and will definitely keep you warm when you wrap it around your neck in winter.
"Aren't you going to evening self-study soon? It's cold outside, let your uncle drive you there." Qin He suggested.
Shen Miao: “Will it be too troublesome?”
Luo Jialin put down the cup in his hand: "No, I'm going to the police station soon, and it's just on my way."
“Thank you, uncle~” Shen Miao smiled.
Plans cannot keep up with changes. After dinner, when Shen Miao was about to go out with Luo Jialin, she just went downstairs and saw Lu Xin already sitting on the bicycle, waiting alone in the corridor for a long time.
“Why are you here?” Shen Miao asked.
"I'm here to pick you up for evening study."
As he spoke, Luxin took out a roasted sweet potato from his pocket.
The roasted sweet potatoes were tightly wrapped in a brown paper bag, and when it was opened, a burst of sweet hot steam instantly came out.
"Wow! Sweet potatoes!"
Lu Xin laughed twice and said, "It's cold, it's just right for you to hold it and warm your hands on the way."
Seeing that Lu Xin's nose was red from the cold, Shen Miao reached out to help him brush off the frost on the brim of his hat, "It's so cold, why don't you go upstairs? It's not like you haven't been here before."
"You have guests at your house. It's okay. I just arrived a while ago. Look, my car is not locked yet."
Seeing that Luo Jialin was still there, Lu Xin respectfully greeted him as uncle, and then said to Shen Miao: "Let's go?"
"this……"
Looking at Luo Jialin beside him, Shen Miao hesitated.
The ride to school was fast and warm, but Lu Xin rode his bike to pick me up and even bought me some roasted sweet potatoes...
"Uncle, I'd better go with him and not trouble you."
In the end, Shen Miao chose Lu Xin.
Luo Jialin raised the corner of his lips in understanding, "Okay, then you guys drive slowly."
Shen Miao: “Hmm~!”
Lu Xin held onto the handlebars and sat down, then patted the cushion on the seat and said, "Get in."
At this moment, Lux Xin was like a sled dog in an extremely cold region. In such a cold day, he was not unhappy because of the cold. Instead, he was happy to be able to pull his owner around in the snow.
As he has ridden his bike with others many times, Luxin is now much more stable than at the beginning. In addition, he put a cushion on the back seat, so the bike won't be bumpy even when passing through bumpy areas.
While slowly eating the roasted sweet potato in her hand, Shen Miao asked, “Why did you think of picking me up today?”
"The results of the morning vote are out."
The exam is less than a month away, and the review progress in the tutoring class has reached the final stage.
I don't know who came up with the idea to have each class hold a secret ballot today to select the person with the worst study attitude.
You can write several at a time, or hand in a blank ticket, but if you write more than ten tickets, you will get a "bad" card. This will serve as a warning so that those who have received the black card can quickly correct their attitude and make good use of the last review time.
"What? You got the black card? So you come to me to ask for a touch?" Shen Miao said jokingly.
When it comes to academic performance, Lu Xin is always top of the class. After all, he is a genius, there is nothing to say about that.
But in terms of learning attitude, he must be the worst in the class.
Not to mention ten votes, it's not surprising that he got twenty-nine votes out of thirty-one people in the class.
Of course, the remaining two votes excluded themselves, and Shen Miao handed in a blank vote, she didn’t write for anyone.
"Uh, it's not me, it's you," Lu Xin was reluctant, but had to tell her the truth, "I only have five votes, and you have twenty-one votes."
This was not the worst news, the worse news was that among the four classes voting this time, only Shen Miao got a “bad”.
In other words, this is her third black card.
Shen Miao: ???
Shen Miao jumped down from the car and said unconvincedly: “Why me?”
Shen Miao thought that her learning attitude was correct. Whether she was attending classes at school or going on internships, she couldn't say that she was outstanding, but she was definitely not at the bottom of the class.
Twenty-one votes? Are these twenty-one people blind?!
"Don't worry, it's just a black card. There are only three of them anyway," Lu Xin comforted him, "There's less than a month left. It's okay even if you take two more. You can drop out if you want. It's just the right time to finish your review. When the tuition fee is refunded, it will be great~"
Shen Miao: …
His level of comforting people is indeed a bit average.
What Shen Miao cares about is not money, but her own reputation.
There were more than a hundred people, and she was the only one who got a "bad" grade. Isn't this an insult?
She just didn't believe that there were so many people in the class who would vote for her.
“Did your grandfather do this?” Shen Miao asked.
Lu Xin shrugged. "Of course. Who else would do such a shameful thing besides him?"
