After Miao Xianghua finished delivering his message and saw Lu Jun'an's statement, he felt relieved and turned around to go home.
"Ah Lin, go see your mother-in-law off. It's cold and the roads are very slippery."
Li Guifen asked Lu Lin to go out and see him off, but Miao Xianghua quickly pushed Lu Lin inside. "No, no, it's not like I can't walk. You guys stay here, I'm going back."
"Mom, I'd better go out with you. I haven't finished drying my diapers yet."
Jiang Manyue said this as she took Miao Xianghua's arm and went out. She walked her mother to the door for a long distance before returning.
In the evening, Jiang Manyue also talked to Lu Lin about the Wang family's plan to adopt Lu Jun'an.
"What good things do you think the Wang family have in mind? Your eldest brother only has one child, Jun'an, and they want to adopt him. Do they really think our family is easy to exploit?"
The more Jiang Manyue thought about it, the more she felt that the Wang family was really dreaming. Who could adopt an only son instead of a child?
Lu Lin snorted coldly, "They are just too selfish. They only care about their own plight and don't think about whether their actions will hurt others. They are typical of harming others for their own benefit."
"Anyway, we've figured out their little schemes. Look how concerned my mom is. She even asked my fourth and fifth brothers to help find out. She really treats Jun'an like our own child."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Don't give in to others' concerns. You've set a good example. Your mother has to help you because she cares so much about Jun'an."
Jiang Manyue was a little proud, "Of course my mother is on my side, she loves me because I love my dog."
Lu Lin smiled and pinched her nose, "Yes, yes, I love you and your dog."
Because of this, Jiang Manyue felt a special sense of happiness in her heart. She felt full and extremely happy.
*
After a few days, there was no movement from the Wang family. Jiang Manyue thought they had given up, but unexpectedly, they came again on the first day of the new year.
This time Liu Ye came alone and did not bring her two sons.
Ever since Li Guifen learned that the Wang family was planning to adopt Jun'an, she treated them like enemies, and naturally her face turned unhappy when she saw Liu Ye.
"Oh, it's Chinese New Year, and my mother-in-law comes to our house to pay New Year's greetings. It's really rare."
Li Guifen learned this from Miao Xianghua and spoke in a sarcastic tone, but Liu Ye didn't care and still had a smile on her face.
"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? I was thinking that on the second day of the new year, my daughter-in-law would go back to her parents' home. My poor daughter left early and couldn't bring her grandson home, so I came to take him back to see him."
Li Guifen still had a bad face. "I didn't see you come to pick up Jun'an in the past few years. What happened this year? Have you changed your temper?"
Liu Ye's expression gradually turned sad. "Alas, mother-in-law, I won't hide it from you. Jun'an's grandfather is not feeling well, and he wants to see his grandson."
Li Guifen had nothing to say now. People said that Jun'an's grandfather was in poor health and wanted to see his grandson. Even if she was domineering, she couldn't stop him from seeing him.
Moreover, they only found out about the Wang family's adoption by asking others, and not everyone knew about it. If the Wang family really made a fuss, they would still be in the wrong.
Liu Ye was a shrewd person. Seeing that Li Guifen was speechless, she immediately took advantage of the situation and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, his grandfather hasn't seen his grandson in many years. How about letting Jun'an go back with us this time and stay for a few more days so that his grandfather can cherish him? Is that okay?"
Li Guifen didn't know how to respond for a moment. Fortunately, Jiang Manyue poured two cups of hot water and walked into the main room. She seemed to have found her backbone.
"It's the full moon. Your Aunt Liuye said that Grandpa Jun'an is not feeling well and wants to take care of his grandson. She wants Jun'an to stay with them for a few more days. What do you think?"
Li Guifen asked directly about Jiang Manyue, which made Liu Ye roll her eyes in her heart. This old woman of the Lu family is really useless. She even has to ask her daughter-in-law about such a small matter. Could it be that the Lu family is entirely decided by her daughter-in-law?
Jiang Manyue thought for a moment and said, "My grandpa is ill, so we, the younger generation, should go visit him on behalf of my eldest brother and his wife, don't you think?"
Li Guifen was stunned, and then she understood what Jiang Manyue meant.
What she meant was, who knows whether the in-laws' grandfather is sick or not, and the adults go with them. If his grandfather is not sick, then we have to ask the Wang family what they want to do by lying that the grandfather is sick and taking the child home.
"Yes, yes, our eldest son and his wife passed away early. The old man is ill, and they can't go to visit him. Why not let A Lin and Man Yue go in their place? It can be regarded as representing our Lu family to visit the in-laws."
Liu Ye immediately panicked. The old man was fine and there was no disease at all. If the two adults of the Lu family followed him, wouldn’t that expose the truth?
"No, no, why do we need the second son and his wife to go with us? Jun'an can just go back with us. We don't have much to offer, and we're afraid it will make our in-laws look shabby."
Jiang Manyue sat down next to Liu Ye without any hesitation. "Aunt Liu Ye, Lu Lin and my eldest brother are brothers. Now that he and his wife are gone, Jun'an lives with us. My grandfather is ill, so of course Lu Lin and I have to go and see him on his behalf."
Liu Ye was about to say something when she was interrupted by Jiang Manyue. "Aunt Liu Ye, it's a big deal that my in-laws' grandpa is sick. Our Lu family is in-laws with your Wang family after all. My parents are old, and there are two babies at home. It's inconvenient for them to go out in the cold weather. My husband and I are the younger generation, so it's only right for us to go and see them."
Jiang Manyue's words really made no sense. The Lu and Wang families were relatives. The father-in-law was ill, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Lu family had passed away. As a younger brother, it was only right for Lu Lin to take his wife to visit them.
