Days passed by, and the Yang family became more and more lively each day.
Before we knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Yang Ercui told Qiao Wanyue in private that she had already registered and would take the exam on the seventeenth.
The Lu family had a turbulent first day of the Lunar New Year, so Lu Rong suggested that they have a reunion dinner on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to drive away bad luck. Qiao Wanyue and Lu's sister-in-law naturally had no objections.
That day, the two of them finished their work early and went home.
Lu Yunqi also did what he could.
According to local custom, people go to worship their ancestors on the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Usually, it is the men who go. In previous years, Yang Lin would take Lu Yunqi and his brother to go. This year is very different. Lu Yunqi can't get up, and Yang Lin is no longer a member of the Lu family.
"Let's go, my daughter and I," Lu Rong said after thinking for a long time.
Qiao Wanyue and Sister-in-law Lu naturally had no objections.
They started preparing dinner and supplies for the cemetery well in advance.
In the morning, people from the Lu family started arriving in an endless stream. They were all close friends who came to visit. During the Lu New Year, the Lu family members were not at home, and everyone understood. Now that things had calmed down, they all came to visit.
Qiao Wanyue kept them company while Lu's sister-in-law and Lu Rong prepared things.
By noon, fewer people were visiting, and most of the things were ready.
Just as I was about to have lunch, there was a loud banging on the door.
Lu Rong assumed it was just another visitor, but when he opened the door, he saw the person at the door roll their eyes and immediately close the door.
"In-laws, in-laws, I'm here to visit relatives." Granny Ma stood awkwardly in the middle of the doorway.
Lu Rong glanced at her, "Visiting relatives?"
"Put your things down and leave."
Granny Ma was naturally unwilling. After struggling at the door for a long time, she and her son and daughter-in-law forced the Lu family's door open. Lu Rong fell to the ground and his hand bled.
When Granny Ma saw the door open, she darted into the yard and stood in the doorway.
“Laidi, your mother-in-law won’t let our family in. We just wanted to see how you are doing. Your mother-in-law is so wicked, Laidi, my darling.”
Sister-in-law Lu felt like vomiting from being yelled at.
She shook off Granny Ma's hand, went over and helped her mother-in-law up, saying, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Grandma Ma didn't expect her to be so unconvinced, so she simply stopped pretending. "Everyone else brings big bags and small packages when they go home for the New Year. You brat, you don't even visit your parents during the New Year, do you? I'd rather raise a dog than you. At least a dog knows to wag its tail at me."
Sister-in-law Lu sneered, "A dog won't exchange for your dowry, nor will it let you beat and scold it. A dog will bite if it gets pushed too far. Do you want to try what it's like to be bitten by a dog?" Sister-in-law Lu's back teeth were grinding together.
Granny Ma's face fell. "You want me to die?"
"Sister, you've misunderstood Mom. We really came to see you today. We heard something happened to your family, and Mom was so worried that she didn't eat for three days. She sprained her ankle during the New Year, and if I hadn't stopped her, she would have limped here. Now that her leg is better, we've come to see you." Sister-in-law Gu Yun's eyes swept back and forth across the Lu family's house. The smooth floor and the red brick house made her green with envy.
"Now that you've seen it, you can leave." Sister-in-law Lu didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Gu Yun and her husband exchanged a glance.
This way of going is too cheap for this sixth sister.
"Sixth Sister, Mom has just recovered from a serious illness and caught a chill while visiting you. Won't you make us some hot water to drink?" She muttered softly, "It would be best to add some brown sugar and eggs."
Sister-in-law Lu blocked Granny Ma's path to the kitchen. "If you don't leave, I'll have someone beat you up. The Lu family doesn't welcome you. How many times do I have to say this? Don't you remember what you said before? Then I'll ask the Ma family head to judge this for me."
Granny Ma paused in her steps.
"What did you say."
Sister-in-law Lu had already seen through it all.
Blood ties? That's all bullshit.
