Chapter 9 Lost and Found
"Don't talk nonsense..."
Jiang Yurou gave a weak smile: "Xixi, don't always say that. Your fourth brother and his wife have a good relationship. Don't ruin your sister-in-law's reputation..."
"Her reputation has already been ruined. Why should I ruin it?"
Lu Yunqian waved her hand without caring at all, "That woman just took advantage of the fact that my fourth brother has been in the army for many years and knows nothing, so she became more and more aggressive.
My parents always told me to tolerate her and give in to her! I wanted to understand him, but who could understand me?
In the entire Lu family, I have become invisible. My parents are eager to sell me for a good price. I don’t know what will happen in the future…”
Pa La Pa La...
Lu Yunqian never stops talking.
Jiang Yurou's mind was empty. Occasionally she glanced out the window, only to find that Lu Yunchen had left without her knowing. She felt more and more disappointed.
Why wouldn't he even look at me for a second?
If he hadn't disdained her, why would she have calculated so much? She would have come to this point today and had to work hard on Huang Xinran. In the final analysis, it was a helpless choice.
Yes! It's all his fault!
…
Huang Xinran didn’t know what she was thinking, otherwise, who knows how she would have cursed at her!
This person, even though he is a prostitute, still wants to build a memorial arch for himself.
There is no one left!
There were many people in the family, so three tables were packed for dinner. Especially since Jiang Yurou was shameless enough to stay and eat for free, she pulled Lu Yunqian to sit on one side, and Huang Xinran was left with no seat.
Looking at Lu Yunqian's provocative eyes, Huang Xinran laughed secretly.
She was not the same person she used to be, so she would not make a fuss over such a small incident and make a fool of herself by an outsider. She took the opportunity to squeeze in between the children and sit with Yaya and Maomao.
She was more than happy to spend more time with her two children. She had already eaten, so eating again was just a formality.
Honestly speaking, Huang Xinran was also surprised that Jiang Yurou had the nerve to stay.
It was the 1980s, the tail end of the collective economy, and every household had no extra food. When people visited other people's homes, most of them would leave on their own at mealtime. There were very few people like Jiang Yurou who were not aware of this.
Especially since the Lu family killed chickens today.
Huang Xinran just realized that she didn't know since when Jiang Yurou and the Lu family became so close!
Look!
She greeted everyone warmly and familiarly, and even took the initiative to serve food to Zhang Wenbi, which made the people at the table laugh continuously.
"Uncle Lu, you look energetic again. You should eat more after a busy day!"
"Auntie Lu is getting younger and younger. If you go out with me, I'm afraid everyone will think you and I are sisters. Auntie Lu, chicken wings are for you!"
"And Fourth Brother, you eat too..."
…
Look, Jiang Yurou is quite good at doing a favor by using the chickens killed by the Lu family.
Jiang Yurou happily married Jirou to Lu Yunchen.
Just as it was about to be put into the bowl, Lu Yunchen suddenly retracted his hand and the piece of chicken fell onto the table.
"Ah, Fourth Brother..."
Jiang Yurou was startled, and looked at the fallen chicken leg with a look of distress. She couldn't bear to eat such a big chicken leg.
"No need!~"
Lu Yunchen frowned and said stiffly: "This is my home, I can pick up vegetables by myself! There is no need for an outsider to interfere."
The word "outsider" made Jiang Yurou's face change immediately.
Everyone was in complete silence, and the air suddenly became quiet.
No one could have thought that Lu Yunchen would say such a shameless thing. He didn't even give the other party any face at all!
"Yun Chen, Yu Rou is a guest after all..."
Zhang Wenbi came out to smooth things over with an embarrassed look on her face. But Lu Yunchen had a dark face and didn't want to explain at all. Zhang Wenbi couldn't say much, because her son had been away from home for a long time and was in the army. He was the hope of the family. She didn't want to break up with her son, so she could only glance at Jiang Yurou awkwardly.
“Puff!~”
Huang Xinran was so amused that she couldn't help laughing out loud, without even trying to hide it, and her eight teeth were showing.
Jiang Yurou's face turned red in an instant.
There is resentment and resentment, but more importantly, there is embarrassment and grievance.
She yelled: "Fourth Brother..."
"I only have a sister whose brain was eaten by a dog, don't claim to be a relative halfway!" Lu Yunchen's mouth is indeed poisonous.
After hearing this, Jiang Yurou could no longer sit still.
She stood up with a pale face, suddenly covered her face and ran away.
"Sister Rourou..."
Lu Yunqian was anxious and shouted. Seeing that Jiang Yurou ignored her, she quickly got up and chased after her.
After thinking for a while, he stopped and ran back: "Fourth brother, you know exactly how Sister Rourou feels about you, how could you hurt her feelings? You disappoint me so much!"
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Lu Yunchen to say anything.
The voice was still heard from far away: "Sister Rourou, wait for me..."
The scene was eerily quiet for a while.
No one spoke.
Finally, it was Lu's mother who broke the silence, "How can you say such things in front of guests? As a mother, I don't know what to say to you. Alas!"
"Mom, I'm telling you the truth. Is there anything I said wrong?"
Lu Yunchen frowned and asked back.
The question left Zhang Wenbi speechless.
It was the head of the family, Lu Tianlei, who spoke up: "Alright, alright. Hurry up and eat. Eat well because you still have to go to work in the afternoon!"
Huang Xinran watched coldly, feeling very uncomfortable.
Thinking about the stupid things she had done in these years, she had married into the Lu family and married such a good man like Lu Yunchen, but she still tried to commit suicide without any bottom line, making it so that no one in the entire Lu family would stand on her side.
After all, I have failed miserably as a human being...
"Mom, please eat..."
Perhaps because she saw that Huang Xinran was slow to eat, Yaya picked up a handful of pickled radish shreds with her chopsticks and carefully put them into her bowl.
Years of accumulated power made her instinctively defensive.
Even though her mother suddenly changed her attitude and treated her well, she was subconsciously afraid of her when she turned around. It was just the nature of mother and daughter that made her follow her instinct to get close to Huang Xinran.
Picking up a piece of shredded radish with chopsticks and giving it to her was also a cautious test on her part.
"Yaya, good boy!"
Huang Xinran was very happy and quickly gave her a big smile. He took a piece of hand-torn cabbage from the table and put it into Yaya's bowl, "Yaya, eat quickly too. Eat more so you can grow faster. Got it?"
"Well, Yaya eats, brother eats too!"
The little girl's eyes lit up instantly. She nodded heavily and then started eating with big mouthfuls.
Maomao, who was standing by, glanced at Yaya, then rolled his eyes at Huang Xinran, and continued eating.
Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks appeared from the side. Huang Xinran also picked up a piece of cabbage and gave it to him, "You eat too!"
Maomao was startled.
The little hands turned pale in an instant and held the chopsticks tightly.
The little guy had a frown on his face and a serious expression, which looked exactly like Lu Yunchen.
But in the end, he pursed his lips stubbornly and lowered his head to eat his meal.
He didn't touch the piece of cabbage Huang Xinran gave him. He didn't touch it until he finished his bowl of rice. He pursed his lips and stared at the cabbage for a long time, but finally took it and ate it slowly.
A rare smile appeared on the serious little face.
This was the first time that woman picked up food for him!
Huang Xinran returned to her room after eating.
"Yesterday" she eloped and took away almost all her belongings, and gave all the money to Xiao Huayu.
When this money fell into Xiao Huayu's hands, it was like a mouse falling into a rice jar.
She searched everywhere and counted everything, but she only found 35 cents. This money was the change given by the conductor when she took the bus "yesterday".
I feel anxious because I have no money.
Disappointed, she closed the box, but suddenly a light flashed at the corner of her eyes, and she looked quickly.
This……
Isn't this the antique bracelet she once lost?
