Chapter 304: The Big Aunt with a Strong Mouth

Father and Mother Lu came back around 3pm.

When they came back, they both looked unhappy.

Shi Tingyu guessed that they were upset by their grandmother.

Fortunately, Father and Mother Lu were not the kind of people who would lose their temper. After all, at their age, they had good self-regulation ability. They smiled again after seeing their grandson. Mother Lu

asked, "Did you cook something delicious for lunch? It's New Year's Day, don't be disappointed, tell me what you want to eat in the evening?"

Shi Tingyu smiled and said, "I like everything you cook."

Seeing the sweet smile of her daughter-in-law, Mother Lu's mood improved.

Shi Tingyu was indeed not very picky about food. Her mother-in-law had figured out her taste during the month of confinement, so she was happy to eat whatever the other party cooked.

Just after they finished talking, Lu Jianguo's family came back. They

also looked unhappy.

Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo looked at each other. They all left their parents' home without a smile.

They knew that they were probably in a bad mood, so they didn't ask too much.

But Lu Zhen couldn't keep secrets. As soon as he got home, he asked Lu's mother, "Grandma! Is there anything to eat at home? I'm hungry."

Lu's mother knew what was going on with her toes. She probably didn't have anything delicious to eat at her in-laws' place.

Lu's eldest sister-in-law looked a little embarrassed, but she managed not to get angry at her son.

Shi Tingyu said, "I have some biscuits. I'll get you some."

Lu Zhen was instantly happy. "Thank you, auntie!"

He had eaten the biscuits that his auntie baked when he just came back. They were milky and delicious.

Mother Lu looked at her grandson, whose mood had improved again, and shook her head helplessly.

However, although the people on the eldest daughter-in-law's side were not very good, there was one thing that was better than her family. That was that as long as they did not neglect to show filial piety during the holidays, they would take what they should take, and they would not always ask the concubine to subsidize the family.

It was just that during the annual gift-giving period, there was only money coming in but no money going out. Not only did they not have a decent meal, but they also did not have any New Year's money for the children.

She said it was not a big deal, just send some gifts during the New Year, and they would not bother her family later.

But her parents' family was different, always thinking about them helping her younger brother.

According to her, it would be more comfortable to do it with her eldest daughter-in-law's family.

Mother Lu never thought that at her age, she would still envy her eldest daughter-in-law one day. It was really a sin.

As for why she didn't compare it with her younger daughter-in-law's family, the two families were not at the same starting line at all. What was there to compare? It would only bring shame upon herself.

At dinner, Mother Lu catered to almost everyone's taste, especially the two daughters-in-law.

Eating with the children at home, Mother Lu sighed in her heart, this is home. As for

her parents' family, well, let's not talk about it.

After dinner, Mother Lu thought of what happened at her parents' home today and told the children at home about it.

"Tomorrow your uncle, aunt and grandmother will come to pay New Year's greetings. If you have anything unpleasant to hear, come to me and I will tell them."

Shi Tingyu and Lu's sister-in-law Qin Ping nodded.

Lu Weiguo thought more. Generally speaking, it is normal for people to pay New Year's greetings to each other during the New Year. In the past, when people did not have to work during the New Year, it was always "you go to my house to eat today, and I go to your house to eat tomorrow", but generally the elderly would not follow.

This time, the grandmother followed, and it was probably not a good thing.

Thinking of this, he cheered up and had to be good to his wife tomorrow.

The next morning, Lu Weiguo got up early and cleaned up the house with Lu Jianguo.

Qin Ping also got up and helped Lu's mother make breakfast.

Shi Tingyu was still asleep.

It was so cold, she really couldn't get up.

This time Qin Ping didn't say anything. She knew that her sister-in-law was from another place and was not used to the weather in Eastern Province.

But when it was time for breakfast, Shi Tingyu couldn't get up, because someone was coming to the house today.

After getting dressed and coming out, the strong temperature difference made her shiver.

After washing up quickly, Shi Tingyu went into the house to eat.

After breakfast, Lu Weiguo took on the job of washing the dishes.

While his sister-in-law helped to cook, he helped to wash the dishes.

At about ten o'clock, there was a burst of talking at the gate of the courtyard.

After a few breaths, the people arrived.

Leading the group was a short old lady, followed by a man in his forties and a woman of about the same age. The two came side by side, probably a couple, and behind them followed a child about the same age as Lu Zhen.

Lu Weiguo introduced them to Shi Tingyu, "The one in front is my grandmother, the two people in the back are my uncle and his wife, and the boy is my uncle's son."

As he was talking, two more people came in, and the two families were two meters apart. They

were about the same age as Lu's father and mother.

Lu Weiguo said, "This is my uncle and aunt."

After knowing who the people were, Shi Tingyu followed Lu Weiguo and the others to call for them.

When Lu's grandmother saw Shi Tingyu, she smiled, "This must be Weiguo's wife, she's so beautiful, we've been married for a few years, and this is the first time we meet."

Shi Tingyu saw that although the other party was smiling, the obvious flattery and calculation in his eyes could not be deceived.

The younger aunt followed suit and said, "Yes, I think the real person is better than the one in the newspaper."

Shi Tingyu's eyes flashed and she said a few humble words. Seeing that her uncle's family didn't talk much, she took the initiative to pass the words over and greeted her aunt.

The aunt smiled and took out two red envelopes wrapped in red paper.

"Xiaoyu, right? These are for you and the child."

Shi Tingyu quickly declined, but the aunt said, "The new daughter-in-law has to give them to her relatives when she meets them for the first year. The one for the child is the New Year's money."

Lu Weiguo said, "Keep it."

Shi Tingyu finally put away the two red envelopes and thanked her aunt.

Seeing this, the younger aunt secretly curled her lips, "Sister-in-law is really capable. She didn't even inform us about the gift. People give gifts according to the older ones. You didn't say anything, and we were not prepared. Let my nephew's wife have opinions about us again."

Aunt Lu snorted and said, "I want to tell you, but do you have money? You borrowed fifty yuan from my elder sister's family for more than ten years, and you haven't paid it back yet. Besides, do you need to be taught to give red envelopes when you meet the new daughter-in-law for the first time?" The

younger aunt's face flushed instantly.

The older aunt continued, "Besides, when Jianguo got married, I informed you, did you give gifts? Humph, you didn't give a penny. I'm embarrassed to tell others."

Shi Tingyu looked at the quarrel between the older and younger aunts with a sharp gaze, and silently gave a thumbs up to the older aunt.

When the uncle's face turned red and the grandmother was about to speak, Lu's mother appeared in time to interrupt the old lady and uncle Lu.

"Let's go inside and talk. It's cold outside."

Inside, Lu Zhen was sitting on a chair holding his brother, holding his brother's two fingers and playing Doudoufei.

In an instant, the white and tender child in Lu Zhen's arms attracted everyone's attention.

However, before they could say anything, Li Jian climbed up and stood in front of Lu Zhen and Shen Shen, baring his teeth at several strangers.
