"boom"
Blood rushed to his head again. Lu Mo glared at her in embarrassment and anger, but quickly regained his composure, took Ye Qingqing's hand, and walked out, pretending not to have heard.
Ye Qingqing pouted. She had just kissed her twice, which meant her lips must taste really good, and she must be shy.
"Qingya, hurry up and eat. There's your favorite bitter melon and egg dish, as well as shredded pork with garlic sauce."
Lin Shufang greeted them warmly, her face beaming with smiles, without mentioning a word about what had just happened.
Ye Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, her embarrassment lessened, and sat down to eat.
The old man had just returned and was unaware of the major events that had just occurred. He looked rather unwell because he had overheard people discussing Lu Qingquan at the community center that morning.
It is said that Lu Qingquan was expelled from the army for making a mistake in his lifestyle, and he returned home in disgrace a couple of days ago and has been staying at home ever since.
Although the old man was mentally prepared, he still couldn't bear to hear it with his own ears and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Lu Guosheng had lived an upright and honest life, but he never expected that in his old age, his reputation would be tarnished by his disappointing grandson, making him a laughingstock.
"The news about Qingquan has spread; everyone in the compound is talking about it," the old man sighed.
Lin Shufang was stunned. In fact, news of Lu Qingquan had already spread, and some people had even come to her to ask for confirmation. She had always claimed not to know and had not told the old man, but she had not expected that she would not be able to keep it a secret in the end.
“Dad, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes, we can’t worry about that. This isn’t all bad for Qingquan. Every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe Qingquan will turn over a new leaf and change his ways!” Lin Shufang comforted him.
Ye Qingqing lowered her head and pouted. Lu Qingquan was wicked to the core. There was absolutely no way he could reform. He would only get worse and worse. Just wait and see!
The old man sighed again, "Hopefully he can learn from this and change his ways!"
Because of Lu Qingquan's matter, the atmosphere at home was a bit somber. The old man had a poor appetite and put down his chopsticks after only a few bites, preparing to take a nap.
There was a commotion in the courtyard, and soon a figure rushed in—it was Yue Hongxia.
"Hongxia..." Lin Shufang was taken aback, and asked again, "Have you eaten?"
Yue Hongxia, her hair disheveled and her face contorted with anger, yelled at Lin Shufang, "Don't pretend in front of me! I've seen through you completely. You put on this act of being a nice person, but you stab me in the back. You even schemed against your own nephew. No wonder you're getting your comeuppance, Lin Shufang. Your son is crippled. You deserve it!"
Lin Shufang's expression changed. She said she could tolerate it, but she would never say anything about her son. Anyone who did would face her dead!
"What nonsense are you spouting? What scheme did I devise against Qingquan? Explain yourself!"
"Didn't you report Qingquan's matter to the military? Now Qingquan has been discharged from the military, Lin Shufang, you're smug, aren't you? Your son is now disabled and can't go back to the military, you can't stand to see Qingquan doing well, so you stab him in the back, your heart is black... I... I'll fight you to the death..."
Yue Hongxia grew increasingly agitated as she spoke, lunging forward to slap Lin Shufang, her eyes filled with resentment and malice.
Although Lu Jiangang said it had nothing to do with the eldest son's family, she felt it must be related to Lin Shufang. This woman pretended to be virtuous on the surface, coaxing everyone in the family to be devoted to her, but in reality she was a hypocritical and treacherous person.
Lin Shufang was so angry that she trembled all over and didn't react for a moment. She saw Yue Hongxia rushing towards her and had no way to avoid her.
Lu Mo quickly stood up, strode up to Lin Shufang, and reached out to block Yue Hongxia.
