Qiao Shanshan dragged her tired body past the Lu family's gate when a dark figure flashed before her eyes.
Sister-in-law Lu's maternal family?
Why is she here?
Qiao Shanshan had no time to think about other people's affairs. She dragged her tired body and pushed open the door of the Yang family's house. When she saw the scene in the yard, she was so frightened that she shuddered. Old Mrs. Yang was sitting in the yard, Yang Lin was lying on the ground, and Zhong Qingqing was lying on the ground.
Everything went black.
"Why aren't you cooking again?" she said, suppressing her anger.
She spent a day carrying manure in the cowshed. The people in the cowshed bossed her around and beat her if she didn't do a good job. Others could go to work in the brigade, and she wanted to go too, but was told that she was not qualified.
She was dissatisfied, but even after complaining to Yang Dongliang, all she got was the response that this was the only treatment people received in the cowshed, and that if she didn't want to stay, she could go somewhere else.
Qiao Shanshan certainly wanted to go somewhere else, but her aunt had also been sent to the countryside, and she had nowhere to turn for help.
Aside from the Yang family, she had no idea where else to go.
Grandma Yang pretended not to hear, letting Qiao Shanshan throw things around as she pleased. After the meal was ready, she would eat, then turn around and go to her room to sleep, pretending to be deaf and blind and not hearing anything.
When Yang Sicui returned home that evening, she pulled Zhong Qingqing into her room.
Yang Lin moved into Yang Huaiyuan's room.
Zhong Qingqing disagreed and made a scene several times, even scratching her hands raw and fainting from anger several times, but none of it stopped Yang Lin. She also tried to go on a hunger strike, but after realizing that no one would feed her if she didn't eat, she went hungry for three days and then calmed down.
This family just made do with what they had.
To throw and break things.
Grandma Yang and Qiao Shanshan engaged in a fierce battle of wits, while Yang Lin lived a life of idleness and waiting for death.
Yang Ercui pretended to be deaf and dumb and worked hard to improve herself.
Yang Sicui spent her days out doing nothing, and would go home for dinner on time.
In short, life goes on.
The arrival of the Ma family was just a minor incident; the Lu family's reunion dinner on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month would continue.
In the afternoon, Lu Rong took the children to their parents' graves to sweep the tombs, set off firecrackers, and had Lu Hui kowtow several times. Lu Rong then sat on the graves and talked with their parents for a while.
As darkness fell, the mother-in-law and her daughters-in-law finally returned home.
"Next door, they're fighting over who's washing the dishes again." Sister-in-law Lu enjoys watching the commotion next door every day.
Qiao Wanyue smiled and handed a plate of food to her sister-in-law, saying, "Life will never be too boring."
Winter isn't over yet, and it's too cold in the yard.
The table was set up in the main room, and Lu Yunqi sat in a specially made chair, leaning back, and was able to pick up the food himself.
Lu Hui sat thoughtfully beside him, and when his father couldn't reach the food, he stood on tiptoe to serve him some.
Firecrackers went off outside.
Inside the house, the family enjoyed a lively meal together.
Halfway through the meal, Lu Rong picked up a glass of wine, his eyes slightly red, and said, "Boss, this time Mom is sorry for you."
Lu Yunqi smiled but didn't raise his glass. "This was an accident."
When Lu Rong saw that he didn't raise his glass, she understood. The eldest son didn't blame her, but those words from that night had indeed pierced the child's heart. She later thought about it and realized that her suggestion to bring Yang Lin back for dinner was really just out of kindness.
But upon reflection, I wondered who this kindness was for.
Yang Lin?
Or is it Lu Yunqi?
Or perhaps it's Lu Rong.
Lu Rong couldn't figure it out. She lived her life in a daze, mostly doing whatever she wanted. Many times she didn't want to stand out, but there was no man in her family and her parents had passed away, so she had no choice.
Ultimately, it was her weakness.
