Cui Qian spoke out for justice.
Liu Wang's wife had no say in the family. His mother, Granny Liu, was like an empress dowager, and the family still followed the old ways: getting up at cockcrow, doing laundry and cooking, and having to kneel down to wash her feet before going to bed.
The girls were constantly beating and scolding each other, making their lives chaotic and disorderly.
Cuihua had no say in the family.
Lu Xingxing frowned and pulled the woman off the ground. "Is this all you're good for? Hitting women? Why don't you hit your mother or your son? Saying she didn't raise him well or that you're a good-for-nothing is an understatement."
“You…” He was so angry that his face turned red.
Perhaps seeing her past self, Lu Xingxing pulled the woman aside and said, "You're not wrong, your mother-in-law and husband are the ones who are wrong. Stand up straight, your daughters still need you."
Upon hearing this, Cuihua couldn't help but raise her head.
Looking at Lu Xingxing's face, her deathly expression finally softened slightly. "I did nothing wrong?"
“Look at your daughter, wearing shoes that expose her feet even during the New Year. You yourself are dressed in tattered clothes, while your mother-in-law, your husband, and your son are all dressed warmly. What did you do wrong?”
Liu Wang retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever mistreat her? She just couldn't bear to..."
"Shut up."
Lu Xingxing didn't believe him.
A flicker of emotion crossed Cuihua's eyes, and she found it amusing. Was she reluctant to part with the money? Every time she brought up buying clothes for the three children, Granny Liu would yell at her, saying that she didn't know how to care for Liu Wang. Liu Wang would then glare at her with murderous eyes. Granny Liu controlled the family's finances; where would she get the money? Even the tattered clothes were given to her by Sister-in-law Zhuang.
She has no job and no household registration, so she can only rely on Liu Wang here.
Looking at her, Lu Xingxing knew that she was the same kind of person as her former self.
It's not that she doesn't resist, it's that she has no one to back her up.
I dare not.
“You have two hands, you can make a living on your own. You can find a job, even if you’re just a waiter, you can earn a few dollars to feed your daughter. Do you really want your daughters to end up like you?” Perhaps seeing her past self in her eyes, she wanted to say a few more words.
Cuihua fell into deep thought.
A few daughters huddled together not far away, dressed in clothes inappropriate for their age, their hair and faces disheveled. Even in poor families, it was Chinese New Year, and they would buy their children a cheap piece of cloth to make them clothes.
On the contrary, my son is dressed like a big bear, with cotton padding that looks like it weighs over ten pounds, because I'm afraid he'll get cold.
"Sister Zhuang, take Liu Wang's family back first," Wei Jun said.
He glanced at Liu Wang and said, "It's the New Year, let's not hurt our relationship. Comrade, you've vented your anger. Take the child to the clinic to have his face checked out. Liu Wang, take your mother to the clinic to have her checked out. Don't mention today's events again."
The phrase "It's the New Year" silenced Lu Xingxing.
She knew Wei Jun.
Second brother's friend.
Cui Qian and Sister Zhuang led Cuihua and her three daughters back home.
Liu Wang took Granny Liu and Liu Enci to the clinic.
The temperature in winter is below minus ten degrees Celsius, and everyone is frozen to the bone.
"You're quite the feisty girl," Wei Jun joked after everyone had left.
Lu Yunzhou: "It's good, at least we're not being bullied."
Wei Jun was about to say that it would have a bad influence, but when he saw Lu Yunzhou's indifferent face, he knew that he had given his permission. Otherwise, Lu Xingxing would not have been able to make such a big fuss. Indeed, many people had reported the situation of the Liu family to him.
This time, Granny Liu really messed up.
“This is my cousin, Wei Yong. He’ll be transferred here after the New Year,” Wei Jun said, pointing to the man beside him.
The man's gaze landed subtly on Lu Xingxing.
What a shrewish woman.
Lu Yunzhou nodded slightly.
"Do a good job."
Wei Yong withdrew his gaze and unconsciously straightened his back.
