Living under the same roof for a long time, something bad was bound to happen sooner or later, Lu Lin thought.
Lu Lin also has houses in other places. He was thinking about whether he should move there later.
Lu Lin only dared to think about this in his heart. If he said it in front of everyone, he would definitely get a lecture.
Comrade Lu, who was extremely brave and decisive in charging into battle, was somewhat confused and unable to make a choice at this moment.
Gu Mingyue tried on all the clothes, and Xia Huiying nodded repeatedly, agreeing that all the clothes suited her well.
Lu Wanwan was also very happy to show off her purchases; she had bought several dresses herself this time.
Xia Huiying felt that since her granddaughter started playing with Mingyue, her taste had improved a lot, and she dressed more stylishly.
Although it is not advisable to be too ostentatious in this era, a person's clothing is their public image when they are out in the world.
Lu Lin watched for a few minutes, then hid in his room to read, trying to immerse himself in the world of the book.
"Big brother, why don't you come out and watch my and my sister-in-law's performance!"
Lu Wanwan looked at her older brother with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.
Lu Lin turned a page and said lightly, "What's so interesting about this? It's not like we haven't seen you guys before."
Lu Wanwan put her hands on her hips and said, "How can that be the same? If you keep doing this, when will Sister Mingyue ever become my real sister-in-law?"
Lu Wanwan felt like she was going to be extremely worried.
Lu Lin sighed, closed the book, turned to look at her and said, "I've already said that Gu Mingyue and I are impossible. From now on, you should still call her 'sister'."
Lu Wanwan stared at him with wide eyes, her accusation clearly visible. "Everyone in the compound knows that Mingyue is your fiancée. If you don't admit it, you're being a scoundrel. I'm going to tell Grandpa and Grandma to get justice."
Lu Lin: Gu Mingyue is that charming?
This girl has only known me for a few days, and she's already willing to betray her own family for the greater good. If this continues, things will get out of control.
Lu Wanwan's gaze lingered on the wheelchair, and she smiled, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."
After saying that, he used both hands to push his older brother out the door.
Before Lu Lin could react, his sister pushed him out.
All her energy was used on him, so Lu Lin simply leaned against the wheelchair and let her do as she pleased.
When she came out, Gu Mingyue had just changed into a red dress.
The girl wore a fitted red dress, which made her skin appear even whiter, drawing everyone's attention to her.
"Big brother is truly blessed."
Lu Wanwan hugged Gu Mingyue affectionately.
After changing her clothes, Gu Mingyue joined the audience.
Lu Wanwan even made a scoring notebook to select the clothes that best suited her.
When Lu's parents got off work in the afternoon, they looked at their daughter's new clothes and gave her a thumbs up in praise.
"Uncle and Aunt, this is a gift I prepared for you."
With her secret stash of money at her disposal, Gu Mingyue could choose only high-quality items, which pleased the two of them greatly.
Lu Limin also received a gift, his face crinkling with smiles. "Good boy, you're so thoughtful."
Everyone was very happy holding their gifts, and the dinner table was filled with joy.
After dinner, Lu Limin accompanied his wife to wash the dishes in the kitchen.
In their family, there is no traditional idea that the man should be the breadwinner and the woman should stay at home. Everyone is an independent individual with their own work to do.
After hiring Aunt Liu to help out, the only thing that needed to be cleaned each day was the dinner dishes. Apart from Lu Lin, the rest of the family took turns doing this task.
Today, it just so happens that the Lu family couple is in charge of cleaning.
Lu Wanwan tiptoed in, glancing back every now and then, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was in the living room.
What are you doing, child?
Lu Qinming glanced outside; the living room was empty.
Lu Wanwan came to complain, telling her parents about her encounter with the Zhu sisters during the day.
"Zhu Xiaohong is so annoying. She even looks down on her sister-in-law. It's really too much."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuxiu frowned and snorted coldly, saying, "The Zhu family raised a child like this; he won't go far in the future."
"Don't be afraid if you run into their family again, Mom will back you up."
Since Lu Lin was injured, the Lu family and the Zhu family have been at odds.
This is all because of Zhu Xiaoqing.
Zhu Xiaoqing had always liked to follow Lu Lin around like a shadow since she was a child.
As soon as she came of age, she confessed her feelings to Lu Lin. Even after being rejected by Lu Lin, she did not give up and followed him into the army.
At the time, Zhong Yuxiu had considered bringing the two together, but Lu Lin never had that intention, and there was no need to force the two of them together.
The Gu family hadn't been in contact for over a decade, and rarely mentioned the arranged marriage.
After Lu Lin was injured, Zhu Xiaoqing changed her previous enthusiastic attitude. Not only did she refuse to enter the Lu family's house, but she even avoided Lu family members when she saw them.
The Lu family thought her feelings for Lu Lin were genuine, but it turns out she was only after their family's power.
If that's the case, the Lu family wouldn't be angry; people are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm.
If Zhu Xiaoqing doesn't come, so be it; anyway, Lu Lin and she are just friends at most.
But the Zhu family is shameless. Not only did they spread the news of Lu Lin's paralysis behind his back, they also tried to sabotage the Lu family in their work.
They thought that if Lu Lin, as the younger generation in the family, fell ill, the entire Lu family would fall apart.
Like a hungry wolf, they were ready to profit from the situation.
After the Lu family discovered his malicious intentions, they not only stopped pretending, but also mocked their most promising successor for being a waste.
The Zhu family was full of plans and determined to suppress the Lu family so much that they could not hold their heads high.
Little did they know that this was tantamount to digging their own grave.
The Zhu family was in chaos. With just a slight movement of his finger, Lu Lin caused them to fight amongst themselves, severely damaging the family's internal strength.
"Don't be polite if you run into them next time."
Lu Qinming always used a gentle approach in dealing with people, but when it came to the Zhu family, if it weren't for the pressure from his superiors, the Zhu family would have been out of the picture long ago.
"Okay, I'm going to visit my sister-in-law."
With her parents' words, Lu Wanwan understood the situation.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here."
Gu Mingyue had just finished preparing her things when she heard Lu Wanwan's cheerful voice.
"You've arrived just in time. I've already prepared my things. Lie down."
Lu Wanwan stared at the dark bowl of things on the table, her throat bobbing nervously. Faced with the choice between believing her and running away, she chose to believe her.
She sat stiffly in the chair, too rigid to move.
"Don't be nervous, relax. This mask looks scary, but it's actually very effective. If you keep using it, you'll definitely get whiter skin."
This is a house that Gu Mingyue has used for a long time. With the help of the spiritual spring water, the effect is doubled.
After applying the mask to her, Gu Mingyue also prepared a face mask for herself.
The two looked at each other's faces, which were covered in black grime, and smiled.
They looked so strange that they were afraid to go out, lest they frighten their families.
Zhong Yuxiu cut some fruit, intending to call them out to eat, but she was startled by what she saw.
What's that on your faces?
"My sister-in-law made me this face mask; it's supposed to make my skin whiter."
Turn white?
Zhong Yuxiu looked at the things on their faces with suspicion, somewhat disbelieving.
