Chapter 47: She is very experienced in filing a complaint
This woman's name is Li Guifang. She is the wife of Lu Mingwang, the second son of the Lu family. She lives in the county town. She met Lu Mingwang at the steel plant. She is a very capable person.
When she was young, she seduced Lu Mingwang and, despite Lu Minghai's opposition, she married into the Li family. After the marriage, she had the upper hand over him.
There are three children. The eldest one is called Li Chunshu, who is one year younger than Lu Dongping. The second one is a girl named Li Chunhua, who is eighteen years old and got married six months ago. The one she is holding is the youngest, Li Chunwu, who is nine years old.
I gave birth to this child when I was in my thirties and I treat him like a treasure.
Gao Xiulan and Zhang Hongying, the two sisters-in-law, didn't like her very much, but since it was a happy event, they still greeted her with a smile and turned around to go about their own business.
Li Guifang would not do anything for them. She just took the children for a stroll and soon they walked into the new house.
Li Chunwu was just a little kid when Lu Dongcheng left, so he didn't know anything about the kid, but he knew Li Guifang, who was really a hard person to like.
The banquet is tomorrow, and Shengxia will pour wine for the elders at the banquet and recognize them. Calling Shengxia now is just an excuse. I just don't want her to be with Li Guifang and listen to that woman's inappropriate words.
Li Guifang didn't know whether she really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand, so she went into the new house and didn't come out.
He called for people to warm themselves by the fire, but Li Guifang said, "We are all family, you don't need to call me. Just go and do your work. I'll be out in a moment."
Lu Dongcheng couldn't call Wen Wan, so he could only take Sheng Xia out with him: "Go to the kitchen to warm yourself by the fire, and tell mother that Second Aunt is here in the new house, and Wen Wan is in the room!"
Shengxia responded and probably understood what he meant. That woman was probably very difficult to deal with.
She thought the Lu family was different from theirs, being kind and generous, but then a troublemaker showed up. It was true, there were always people like that everywhere.
Li Guifang didn't leave because she was sizing Wen Wan up: "Whose daughter are you? Why haven't I seen you before? How old are you this year?" She was really beautiful, like a fairy, even more beautiful than that summer. Li Guifang fell in love with her at first sight and thought she would be a good match for her eldest son, Li Chunshu.
Wen Wan was not familiar with her and had just found out that she was Lu Dongping's second aunt, so she had nothing to talk about with her.
But since she asked, it seemed a bit awkward not to answer, so Wen Wan replied, "I'm from another place." As for how old she was, this person was not familiar with her, and she was not the production team leader or the women's director, so why did she ask this?
Li Guifang was extremely enthusiastic. She leaned over to look at the things in front of her and said, "What are you doing with the red cloth? Oh, you made all these flowers and lanterns in this room. You are such a skillful girl."
She smiled politely and said, "You're just kidding."
While Li Guifang was talking, Li Chunwu broke free from her hand, climbed onto the new bed nimbly and reached for the red flower hanging there.
Wen Wan stood up suddenly: "Hey, why are you crawling onto the bed?"
Li Guifang turned her head and saw Li Chunwu reaching out to pull the red flowers from the string.
"Mom, flowers, I want flowers!"
"no!"
Wen Wan put the scissors in her hand on the table and rushed over to pull him: "How dare you touch other people's things? How dare you climb onto someone else's bed? Get off my feet!"
Li Chunwu reached out and tore off the red flower made of toilet paper. Of course, Wen Wan also tore it off with him without hesitation.
He cried out "Wow!"
A flower was torn off the quilt, and there were two muddy footprints on the pink peony-patterned sheets on the bed.
Li Guifang couldn't see it, and when she saw her son crying, she immediately became furious and tugged at Wen Wan fiercely: "What's wrong with you, woman? How old are you and how old is he? How dare you pull him? The bed is so high, what if he falls and gets hurt?"
Wen Wan had never seen such a person before, so arrogant and unreasonable.
"Why are you like this? He's still young? Even if he is young, you are not young, right? That's a new bed, the bride and groom haven't even sat on it yet and he's already climbed up and stepped on it? Isn't that unlucky? He pulled the beautiful flowers and he still has the nerve to cry? He looks seven or eight years old, right? Do you know how to teach and take care of children? He's so old and still doesn't understand anything and can't understand what people say?"
Li Chunwu was spoiled and had to be given whatever he wanted at home. Although the flower was pulled, he was not willing to be pulled off the bed. He cried loudly: "Mom, hit her, she pulled me, she is a bad thing!"
Wen Wan was furious: "Little thing, who are you calling mean? If you weren't mean, would you have ripped the flowers I glued together? I've been working on it since this morning, and you just stretched out your hand and it's all gone?"
Li Guifang pulled Li Chunwu up from the ground and pointed at Wen Wan's head: "Bullshit, you look like a decent person, but how can you be so useless..."
"Who are you calling a nobody?"
Lu Dongping stood at the door, lowered his head and walked in, pulling Wen Wan over. "Second aunt, quickly take your fingers back. This is not the Li family. The guests who come to the Lu family are all distinguished guests. Put away the tricks you used to deal with my second uncle. These two days are auspicious days for my eldest brother. If you come to congratulate us, we welcome you. If you come to disrupt the party..."
As he said this, he snorted, "My second uncle's face is only useful to my eldest uncle and my father. It doesn't work for me at all!"
After saying that, his eyes fell on the red ball that Li Chunwu was tightly holding in his hand, and he walked over and stretched out his hand: "Give it to me!"
Li Chunwu just stopped crying and started crying again.
Lu Dongping said with a cold face: "Stop howling, and give me what you have in your hand!"
"Lu Dongping, what do you mean by that? You're in your twenties, and you're bullying a child like him?"
"Second Aunt Dongcheng, why are you here? Hurry up, I'm looking for you outside, why are you making a fuss here? We're having a wedding these two days, this is not the right time!" Gao Xiulan came over wearing an apron, without even having time to wipe the water off her hands, but she was still too late.
Li Guifang is a troublemaker, and she is involved in everything. If Lu Dongcheng's marriage was not a big deal and Lu Mingwang was not his second uncle and it was not easy not to invite him, she really didn't want to see this woman in her life.
Li Guifang coaxed her sweetheart with an ugly expression on her face. She pointed at Wen Wan through Lu Dongping and said, "Where did this little bitch come from? She has no respect for her parents and no upbringing..."
How could Lu Dongping allow her to scold Wen Wan anymore? He interrupted her rudely: "Second Aunt, you must have forgotten that I'm a man of all ages and can do anything when I get into trouble. Please take your hand back and swallow what you want to say."
Wen Wan peeked out from behind him, raised her hand, and pointed at her, imitating Li Guifang: "You are the one with no manners or upbringing. It's a new house with a new bed, and the bride hasn't even sat down yet, but your son climbed up and stepped on it. You saw it but pretended not to see it, and even let him tug at his own game. Who are you scolding? Give yourself a good scolding first."
Humph, you think she is easy to bully. When it comes to making complaints, she is very experienced.
Gao Xiulan hadn't noticed it if she hadn't said it. But as soon as she looked up, she saw two muddy footprints on the brand new bed sheet. She had a polite smile on her face, but now even that polite smile disappeared.
"His second aunt, if you want to come and have a good drink, then take the children and wait outside. If you have any objections to our family and don't come, that's fine. Can I force a cow to drink water? You should know my temper. Other things are easy to deal with, but I won't tolerate any bad things in this child's life. Do you want to go out by yourself, or should I ask his second uncle to come and invite you?"
"Don't bother, it's such a shabby place, I'm tired of getting my feet dirty just by coming here, humph!"
Having said that, he forcibly grabbed Li Chunwu and left.
Passing by the door, Lu Dongping stretched out his hand coldly. Li Chunwu shuddered and threw the deformed little red flower on the ground.
Lu Dongping bent down, picked it up, and held it in his palm.
Gao Xiulan sighed and looked at Wen Wan and said, "I'm really sorry. Look at what happened. Shengxia came to me and said she went into the house and wouldn't leave. I thought she wasn't familiar with you and would just say a few words and that would be it. But I didn't know this person could find something out of everyone she met."
"I'm so sorry, aunt, please don't be polite to me, just get busy!"
"Hey!" Gao Xiulan responded and went forward to pat the mark on the bed, but she looked at her hand and gave up. She looked at the rope that Li Chunwu had torn apart and cursed softly, "It's just an airtight thing. If adults behave like that, their children will also develop that habit. I wonder what will happen to him and his wife in the future!"
Having said that, he hurried out, and when he came back in, he had a brand new bristle brush in his hand, and he carefully swept the mud off the bed.
But there was a faint mark on the pink bed sheet.
After Gao Xiulan left, Lu Dongping let out a long sigh. He glanced at the unrecognizable tissue paper in his hand, then looked at Wen Wan's hands, which were stained red by the red paper and red ink. "Are you done? I'll get some hot water for you to wash your hands."
Wen Wan said, "Wait a moment, there is still one missing. I'll stick another one on to fill in the torn one." She didn't plan to make a hair flower anymore. It would be a waste to cut off such a large piece of red cloth.
She has a big red silk scarf, which she can use to tie Shengxia's hair tomorrow. It can be considered a gift from her.
Lu Dongping responded, put the thing in his hand into his pocket, leaned there with his arms folded, and watched Wen Wan deftly take the paper and turn it into a flower, then dipped it in red ink and let the color spread evenly. After letting it dry for a while, he took a chair and stood by the bed to thread the needle again and hung the flower in the original room.
"Okay!" She turned around and smiled at Lu Dongping.
Lu Dongping also looked at her and smiled. For a moment, he was thinking about what it would be like if he married the little girl in the future. There would be a new house, a new bed, a new quilt, and a room full of red lanterns and red flowers...
No, he wanted to give her something better.
After leaving the house, Wen Wan directly heard Li Guifang arguing with Lu Mingwang, and several people were trying to persuade them.
Lu Dongping didn't even raise his eyelids. He and Wen Wan went around the side and went back to their home to get an enamel basin, poured hot water in it, and even took out the newly bought soap.
