"Your grandfather is so good to you." Yun Duo sincerely praised Lu Jiajia after hearing her words. However, she was not envious.
Grandma and Yun Da always prioritize her needs when it comes to food and clothing. Although they never bought her a "luxury" like a toothbrush, Grandma would soak peeled willow branches in water every day so she could use them to clean her teeth morning and night.
Even though they didn't give her the best, they were trying their best to treat her well, and that was enough.
Yun Duo followed Lu Jiajia into the courtyard.
"Duo'er, come here quickly, see if your sister-in-law's pancakes are delicious." Village chief's wife Zhang Chunxiang greeted Yun Duo with a smile as soon as she saw her.
Yun Duo quickly shook her head and said very politely, "Thank you, Auntie. I know the pancakes my sister-in-law made are delicious without even tasting them. But you don't need to give them to me. Let Jiajia eat more. Grandma has already cooked dinner. I'll eat when I get home."
These days, everyone is short of food, even if the village chief's family is better off than others. She wouldn't be so naive as to accept the pancake Zhang Chunxiang offered.
Sure enough, Zhang Chunxiang was just being polite. Seeing that Yun Duo refused, she said, "You child, you've even learned to be polite." As she spoke, she put the wheat cake back into the bowl and looked at Yun Duo, asking, "Duo'er, what do you need to see your village chief uncle for?"
Village chief Lu Zhimin was sitting right next to him.
Yun Duo looked at Lu Zhimin, then at Zhang Chunxiang, and said, "Uncle Village Chief, Aunt Village, Aunt Chrysanthemum, and... and Yusheng's mother got into a fight at the gate of our yard. They fought for a long time and were cursing at each other. The cursing was really awful. Grandpa even covered my ears. He wouldn't listen to reason with them. Later, Grandpa got angry and took a basin of water out and splashed it all over them."
“Aunt Juhua said that we are outsiders and cannot change our surname from Lujia Village, so Grandpa asked me to invite Uncle Village Chief over.”
He paused, then asked, "Uncle Village Chief, Aunt Village Chief, what do you mean by changing the surname of Lu Family Village? Isn't Lu Family Village a place name? Can a place name be changed by itself?"
That Zhang Juhua! All she does is cause trouble all day! She's utterly clueless! And Lu Laogen too, he's always listless, can't even control his wife, he's completely useless!
Lu Zhimin's face darkened. He silently grumbled about Zhang Juhua and her husband Lu Laogen in his heart, but looked at Yun Duo with a gentle expression and said, "Our village is registered with the government as Lu Family Village. How can it be changed? Don't listen to your Aunt Juhua's nonsense. She's just someone who likes to talk nonsense. Just ignore her."
"But you... Yusheng's mother, how did she get into a fight with your Aunt Juhua? They even fought at the gate of your yard, did it scare you?"
Yun Duo shook her head first, and then said, "I don't know why they started fighting. Aunt Juhua said that she was my benefactor and I should repay her. I don't understand why Aunt Juhua told me to jump into the river. She was also my benefactor. So I asked Grandma. Before Grandma could answer, Aunt Juhua got upset and said that I was still standing there and hadn't died. She also said that she wouldn't hold it against me for being ungrateful, but I shouldn't have turned the tables on her. Then... Yusheng's mother rushed in from outside, and then they started fighting."
Yun Duo deliberately spoke in a way that wasn't very clear, requiring the listener to guess what she meant. However, she believed that Lu Zhimin definitely understood what she was trying to say.
In this way, Zhang Juhua will no longer have the face to claim that she is her savior, and the village chief will not hold her grandfather's water-splashing incident against her.
Sure enough, the village chief's brows furrowed slowly: "You're saying that Zhang Juhua told you to jump into the river?"
