Li Guifen widened her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.
The person who walked in holding Jun'an was Jiang Manyue?
Jun'an actually looked very happy and seemed to be very close to her?
Before she could ask, Lu Jun'an called her happily and continued to walk towards the main room holding Jiang Manyue's hand.
Li Guifen: Does the sun really rise from the west?
At this time, Lu Qingyou, who had returned from the county town to work, also came back. Seeing Li Guifen standing in the yard in a daze, he looked at her strangely.
"What are you doing standing here?"
Li Guifen came back to her senses and pointed to the main hall. "Man Yue just came back with Jun An. Jun An was so happy that he took her hand and walked into the main hall."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyou also looked into the main room. Jiang Manyue was chatting and laughing with Lu Junan, and they both looked very happy.
Although a little surprised, Lu Qingyou was still quite happy to see this situation. Although they telegraphed Lu Lin that they wanted a divorce, they were still a family after all.
Jiang Manyue was nicer to Jun'an, and Jun'an's life was better before Lu Lin divorced her.
"Okay, don't think about it. It's a good thing that Man Yue treats Jun An well. Let's go eat quickly. I'm starving."
After Lu Qingyou finished speaking, he went to the well to wash the mud off his hands and entered the main room first.
When Jiang Manyue saw Lu Qingyou come in, she politely looked up and called out "Dad". Lu Qingyou responded with an "Hey".
Li Guifen was the last one to come in, holding an enamel basin filled with hot porridge.
Jiang Manyue glanced at the food on the table again: a plate of stir-fried amaranth, a plate of stir-fried lettuce, and a bowl of pickles. Next to it was a small basket of steamed buns, and the porridge that Li Guifen had finally brought in.
Not only was there no meat, but the two vegetarian dishes also looked dry and dull. Jiang Manyue lost her appetite just by looking at them.
There are no strict rules for eating in the Lu family. After Lu Qingyou served himself some food, he didn't care about others and started eating without any hesitation.
Li Guifen served Jun'an a small bowl of porridge, cut a steamed bun into two halves, handed one half to him, then served herself a bowl of porridge and ate it with the remaining half of the steamed bun.
Jiang Manyue was the last one to serve the rice, but she only took half a bowl. She didn't have much of an appetite and just wanted to have a bite.
The next second after eating the dishes made by Li Guifen, Jiang Manyue finally understood why the original owner always went to her mother's house for meals, or made something else to eat by herself. She rarely remembered eating with the two elders of the Lu family.
The food cooked by this cheap mother-in-law is so disgusting!
Jiang Manyue really couldn't eat anymore, so she simply drank the porridge in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, cleaned up the dishes and left the table.
It’s not that she is being pretentious, it’s just that she has never eaten such a disgusting dish!
Even when she was in school, the food in the school cafeteria, which was unanimously agreed by all the teachers and students to be extremely unpalatable, was slightly better than the food cooked by Li Guifen.
After Jiang Manyue left, Li Guifen couldn't help but complain, "Look at her. Which daughter-in-law is like her? She's not willing to eat the meal even after it's ready. She only eats those two bites. Who is she looking down on?"
Lu Qing didn't have time to answer. He just wanted to fill his stomach quickly and then take a nap because he had to go to work in the afternoon.
Seeing that Lu Qingyou didn't respond, Li Guifen had to continue eating with her head down, but she couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Jiang Manyue in her heart.
After finishing her meal, Li Guifen cleared the dishes on the table. Just as she took them to the well to wash them, she heard someone knocking on her gate.
Li Guifen hurried out and saw that it was Jin Laosi's wife Xu Mei and her son Jin Chuanhu who came to visit.
Looking more closely, Jin Chuanhu's eyes were still red, as if he had just cried. No one knew what had happened.
Li Guifen blinked her eyes, not understanding. Their family and the Jin family didn't have much contact, so why did Xu Mei bring her son here?
Xu Mei saw Li Guifen and smiled apologetically, "Aunt Guifen, I brought Chuanhu here to apologize to your Jun'an. Chuanhu is a man who talks too much. I've already taught him a lesson, and he promised not to bully Jun'an again."
Li Guifen didn't know that Jin Chuanhu bullied Jun'an. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Jiang Manyue's voice behind her.
"Chuanhu Ma, wait a minute. I'll go get Jun'an out."
As soon as Li Guifen heard Jiang Manyue speak, she knew it had something to do with her. She watched her call Jun'an out and stand beside her openly.
"Chuanhu, Jun'an is here, you can apologize to him."
Jiang Manyue held Jun'an's hand and reminded Jin Chuanhu very kindly.
Jin Chuanhu sniffed and said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, Lu Jun'an. I shouldn't have called you a wild child without parents. I will never bully you or steal your things again, or I'll ask my mom to beat my butt until it blooms."
When Li Guifen heard these words, her face turned red, but since the other party had come to apologize, she thought about it and decided to endure it.
Encouraged by Jiang Manyue, Lu Junan spoke bravely, "Okay, if you say anything bad about me or steal my things again, I'll tell your mother!"
Jin Chuanhu nodded vigorously, and the two children quickly reached a reconciliation.
Xu Mei, who was standing by, saw Li Guifen's face darken instantly. She felt very embarrassed and said a lot of apologies before pulling Jin Chuanhu away.
After Xu Mei and her son left, Li Guifen immediately turned around and asked about Jin Chuanhu bullying Lu Junan.
"Jin Chuanhu and his gang tried to steal my things, and when I refused, they called me a wild child without parents. Then my aunt came and chased them away, and took me to see Aunt Xu Mei."
Lu Jun'an honestly recounted what happened that morning, and added, "Aunt also took me to her house. Brother Jiang Hong and Brother Jiang Cheng took me out to play, which was really fun. They even said they would take me to the riverside to catch grasshoppers in the afternoon!"
When Li Guifen heard him say that Jiang Manyue stood up for him and took him to play with the Jiang family's children, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Manyue in surprise.
"Mom, what are you looking at me for? I'm Jun'an's aunt after all. Jun'an was being bullied like that outside, and I just happened to see him. How can I just ignore it?"
Li Guifen suddenly didn't know what to say. She couldn't help feeling a little guilty, wondering if she had thought too badly of Jiang Manyue.
She stood up for Jun'an outside and even took him back to her mother's house to play with her nephew, but she didn't tell me and Lao Lu about it at all to seek credit. She just wanted to be good to Jun'an.
Li Guifen, who had just been complaining about Jiang Manyue at the dinner table, felt a little embarrassed. Then she thought about how she had just asked Lao Lu to send a telegram to Lu Lin in the morning asking him to come back for a divorce, and she felt guilty again.
Coincidentally, at this time, the postman knocked on the Lu family's gate again.
"Lu Qingyou's family is here, right? There's a telegram from Comrade Lu Lin, from the Yunzhou Military Region."
Jiang Manyue didn't think much about it, nodded and was about to go up to answer it when she saw Li Guifen suddenly rush forward and snatch the envelope containing the telegram.
