Chapter 38 Mutual Dissatisfaction
Chen said, "What's the point of you going to look for them? The eldest wife hates us right now. If you go there, not only will they not help us, they might even harm us."
"I don't believe it!" Lu Zhiyi said, "Even if the eldest cousin's wife is mean and doesn't want to share her food with us, doesn't that mean grandma won't be willing too? I'll go and beg grandma."
In her opinion, Su was soft-hearted and would definitely help them as long as they cried.
And Madam Lu is her biological grandmother. Even if she is partial to the eldest wife, it is impossible for her to ignore them at all.
They all had food for the servants, and it was just a small matter to share some with them.
She should also sit on the donkey cart and rest her feet from time to time, just like Lu Zhixi did.
The worst person in the first house was Jiang Tangtang, who must be the one behind all this. She just had to avoid Jiang Tangtang and ask for help from Madam Lu.
The more Lu Zhiyi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He stood up and ran to the resting place in the Lu family's main house.
"Stop!" Chen grabbed her and said, "Are you trying to kill us?"
"Mom, has something happened?" Lu Huaiyun was dumbfounded if he couldn't see that something was wrong at this time.
Seeing Chen's hesitation, Lu Huaiyun urged again, "Mom, just tell me what's going on! It's already this late, do you still want to hide it from us?"
Chen gritted her teeth and finally couldn't help but said, "She is not your real grandmother!"
"Mom, what did you say?" Lu Zhiyi stood there dumbfounded. "I don't understand. Who are you saying isn't our real grandmother?"
Lu Huaiyun had already guessed this, so he wasn't too surprised. Thinking about the time when his mother changed, he asked, "Did Mom find out about this at the post station?"
Chen nodded and recounted everything that had happened at the post station. Afterward, she lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want people to know your background? Do you want people to know... that you are one of those unpresentable descendants?"
"Mother, why bother with those empty reputations now!" Lu Huaiyun said with a self-deprecating smile: "Now we are just exiled prisoners, not in the capital. For now, the most important thing is to survive."
He then analyzed, "Since Grandma has been keeping this a secret, it means she doesn't want it to be known. Also, she hasn't taken action against us before, and she certainly won't do so now. Mother, you're worrying too much."
Chen's expression changed several times, and suddenly, a flash of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, "My son is so smart, why didn't I think of it before!"
As she spoke, she ran towards the main house where they would rest.
Lu Huaiyun stopped her, "Let Han Ge'er go! Even if his father is not her biological son, he is still the blood of the Lu family. My Han Ge'er is also a descendant of the Lu family. The elderly are soft-hearted and will not embarrass a child."
After saying that, he gave Lu Han some instructions and asked her to go find Old Madam Lu with a few river clams.
As Lu Huaiyun had planned, Old Man Lu did not let Lu Han return empty-handed.
"What's the use of this?" Looking at Lu Han holding a few bamboo tube rice and yam cakes in his arms, Lu Zhiyi snatched a yam cake with dissatisfaction and took a bite angrily.
After just one bite, she was stunned.
Why is it so delicious?
She was reluctant to swallow it, but she couldn't help eating it. A palm-sized yam cake was eaten clean by him in the blink of an eye.
Lu Han only brought back a yam cake. He drooled all the way, but he forced himself not to eat it because he wanted to bring it back to his mother.
But as soon as the pancake was brought back, my aunt ate it up in just a few bites and immediately burst into tears.
Seeing that Lu Zhiyi was still as selfish as before, Lu Huaiyun and his wife both looked dissatisfied.
Chen loved both her daughter and her grandson, and she could not bear to scold her daughter or blame her grandson. In the end, she reverted to her old ways and scolded the people in the first wife's house.
"This old lady is too stingy. She only gave such a little food to a beggar! Is it possible that our Han brother is not as good as those lowly people? Those lowly people have food to eat, so why doesn't our Han brother have it?"
Lu Zhiyi was savoring the pancake and was very dissatisfied. She reached for the bamboo rice in Lu Han's arms and cursed, "It must be that fat woman Jiang Tangtang who's causing trouble. She won't give us anything to eat."
It didn't rain today, so Liang Jiamin didn't bother looking for a place to stay and slept outside as usual.
The two families' resting places were not far apart, so Chen's scolding naturally reached the Lu family's main branch.
However, Mr. Lu went back to the carriage to rest and did not hear it, but Jiang Tangtang heard it clearly.
Jiang Tangtang sneered immediately.
Today, Lu Han went to ask Mrs. Lu for food. Because of his young age, she didn't argue with him, which was considered as her approval of Mrs. Lu's behavior.
However, some people are not worthy of being nice to her.
She walked over and snatched the bamboo rice from Lu Zhiyi's hand, saying, "You ate my food and you still scold me, who do you think you are?"
"What are you doing?" Lu Zhiyi widened his eyes angrily and tried to snatch the bamboo tube rice back from Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang's physical fitness training these days was not in vain, so how could she possibly let her snatch the bamboo tube rice back?
Not only did Lu Zhiyi fail to get the bamboo tube rice back, he was also kicked hard by Jiang Tangtang.
"You evil woman, no wonder your cousin doesn't like you. Look at you, you are ugly and have a bad heart! You deserve it, you deserve that you will never get his heart in this life." Lu Zhiyi sat on the ground with his legs hugged, glaring at Jiang Tangtang fiercely and cursing.
Jiang Tangtang is not the original owner, so she doesn't want to win his heart!
She didn't even bother to look at the idiot Lu Zhiyi, and said to Chen and Lu Huaiyun, "Don't let the child come over to ask for food again. If you come over again, I won't give it to you!"
Lu Zhiyi covered his leg and said angrily, "Why? What's it to you? We didn't ask you for anything!"
"Because I made this!" Jiang Tangtang said, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She took the bamboo tube rice and left.
Lu Zhiyi's eyes widened with anger, but he was helpless.
Finally, out of habit, she complained to Lu Huaiyun, "Brother, look at her..."
However, Lu Huaiyun did not defend her as usual, but took his son to the side to eat bamboo tube rice.
Old Madam Lu gave Lu Han three bamboo tubes of rice. Jiang Tangtang took the one from Lu Shiyi, but she ignored the remaining two in Lu Han's arms.
Lu Huaiyun gave one to his son and shared the other with his wife.
Smelling the fragrance coming from the bamboo tube, Chen swallowed and became dissatisfied with her son for the first time.
Even though Han Ge'er is young and should eat one bamboo tube rice, shouldn't the remaining one be given to her as a filial piety?
This boy actually ate with his wife without even asking her a question.
Little did she know that Lu Huaiyun was also very dissatisfied with her as a mother at this moment.
He finally managed to get his son to please his grandmother and bring back food, but he ended up being offended by his own mother and the people over there.
And the younger sister actually snatched food from her nephew.
In her opinion, Lu Zhiyi was wrong, but she, as a mother, was also wrong. It was because she doted on her younger sister that she became brainless.
