But now that she had said those harsh words, there was no way to take them back.
She was clearly just a girl in her twenties, yet she was so afraid of her!
The outcome of this incident was that the two of them were hastily brushed off by Aunt Li and kicked out of the house.
Even Aunt Li shouted a few words in the corridor in a serious manner.
"There's no such loud noise in our house in the middle of the night. If anyone heard it, come and tell me in person! Don't gossip about others behind their backs. Don't be afraid of getting your mouth rubbed!"
The other military wives at home also had a headache after hearing this. They originally just wanted to make a small suggestion, but they didn't expect the person on the other side to be so arrogant and unreasonable!
After saying this, Aunt Li hurried back and closed the door tightly, as if she was afraid that someone would chase her out and scold her.
Lu Yue waved weakly towards Shen Tingwan.
"Forget it, I can't control this matter. It doesn't make sense at all!"
Shen Tingwan just understood that she was tired, so he comforted her.
"It's okay, let's think of a few more solutions."
The two of them went up together to get a basket and planned to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the gate of the family compound, I happened to meet Wang Lu who was off work, holding Qi Yue's hand.
Although Lu Yue had some opinions about Aunt Li, she still liked Wang Lu very much.
She took the initiative to say hello.
"Wang Lu, you're off work so early today?"
Shen Tingwan looked at Qi Yue.
Since she came back from the hospital last time, she has had fewer opportunities to see Qi Yue.
I heard from the children in the compound that Wang Lu brought him to live with her.
But it’s better this way, as it saves me from being beaten and scolded by Aunt Li all day long.
After just a few days of not seeing each other, Qi Yue's face had become rounder, and it was even more obvious how harsh Aunt Li had been to her before.
Qi Yue smiled more often, and saw the two of them greeting each other with a shy smile.
“Aunt Lu, hello Aunt Shen.”
Lu Yue also noticed Qi Yue's slight change and couldn't help but nodded with a smile.
"Yueyue is so good. Have you been going to school with mom to play recently?"
Qi Yue spoke crisply.
"Yes, school is fun."
Wang Lu saw that her daughter's face was always smiling, and she couldn't help but rub her head with satisfaction.
This is the truest appearance of a child.
Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful, regretting that she had not discovered it earlier.
Lu Yue said casually, "Wang Lu, why do you look so bad?"
Hearing her say this, Shen Tingwan shifted his gaze to Wang Lu's face.
I saw that the originally pretty face now had some dark circles and red bloodshot under the eyes, as if she had not had enough rest.
Her lips were also pale, completely devoid of the previous scent of books, and instead, she exuded a sense of powerlessness and fatigue from the inside out.
Wang Lu touched her face awkwardly and said with a smile, "Really? Maybe I've been too tired from preparing for lessons recently."
Lu Yue casually said, "You too, don't work so hard, take more rest."
Wang Lu stammered in response and looked up, only to meet Shen Tingwan's slightly inquiring eyes.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Lu Yue nodded.
When she passed by Shen Tingwan, she only heard her speak softly.
"Sister-in-law, you can always find us if you need anything."
Wang Lu suddenly looked up at her and found that the smile on Shen Tingwan's lips had become more meaningful, as if he had seen through something.
She didn't dare to answer, but hurriedly took Qi Yue home.
Lu Yue turned to look at Chen Tingwan with some confusion, "What's the matter? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Shen Tingwan then withdrew his gaze and responded softly.
As she walked up the stairs, Wang Lu thought of what she had just said, and couldn't help feeling aggrieved.
Qi Yue felt that something was wrong with her mood, so she raised her little face and asked.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
Wang Lu didn't want the child to see her in such a miserable state, so she wiped away her tears, squatted down and spoke seriously.
"Do you remember what Mom told you before?"
Qi Yue nodded seriously, "When grandma is angry, you have to hide in your room. No matter how much she yells, you can't come out."
After hearing this, Wang Lu touched her head with relief.
She would rather suffer the beatings herself than let her child suffer such abuse in this wonderful childhood.
As expected, the moment Wang Lu returned home, she was met with her mother-in-law's extremely gloomy face.
Aunt Li's abuse of her seemed to have become subconscious.
"Why are you back so late today? Where did you go for a stroll again?!"
Hearing the impatience in her tone, Wang Lu just lowered her head and answered.
"No, I was delayed for some time on the way to buy groceries."
Aunt Li glanced at him coldly and spat on the ground.
"If you can't even do such a small thing, what's the point of marrying a hen like you who can't lay eggs! When Xiaole comes back, you two should immediately bring up the matter of having a second child!"
She came all the way from her hometown to join the army just to have her grandson.
But I didn’t expect…
"Why aren't you cooking yet? Are you planning to starve me to death?!"
Aunt Li was annoyed when she saw her dull and dazed look.
Wang Lu put Qi Yue in the bedroom to play by herself, and then went into the kitchen to cook quietly.
Aunt Li felt a strong sense of satisfaction when she saw her daughter-in-law who was submissive.
She strolled into the kitchen with her, and when she saw the cucumber in Wang Lu's hand, she frowned.
A hint of impatience flashed in those cloudy triangular eyes.
"It's the same dishes every day, won't you change some?"
"Go buy some now, I want to eat fried eggplant!"
Aunt Li gave orders in a haughty manner, and Wang Lu could only silently take off her apron and plan to go downstairs to buy more vegetables for her.
She has experienced the consequences of arguing with her mother-in-law many times.
Aunt Li has lived in the countryside since she was a child and has been doing farm work, so her strength is many times greater than Wang Lu's.
When she got ruthless, Wang Lu was completely unable to resist, which was why she controlled her so thoroughly.
Now that my husband is out on a mission, my mother-in-law has become the head of the family.
Wang Lugang wanted to take Qi Yue with him, but Aunt Li slammed the table.
"I'm on guard against thieves every day. Who would do anything to this little loser?!"
"Today I'm going to see if you can actually buy groceries on your own! I'm your mother-in-law! I'm not some evil person, what could I possibly do to my granddaughter?!"
Wang Lu froze at these words. She pushed Qi Yue into the room and spoke softly.
"Yueyue, remember to lock the door."
Qi Yue nodded obediently.
Although she didn't understand what her grandmother meant just now, she could tell from her previous experience of being beaten that her grandmother was angry.
Wang Lu hurried downstairs, but before she had taken a few steps, her vision went dark and she fainted.
