Qi Ran admitted that this was the first time in her life she had ever heard such shameless words.
She hadn't done anything wrong, yet she was slapped twice by Old Lady Li for no reason, and now she was expected to apologize to Old Lady Li?
There's no way such a thing could happen in the world!
Qi Ran turned her head away, clearly showing her displeasure.
Old Mrs. Li was displeased again when she saw Qi Ran's attitude, and sneered, "Eldest son, look at the wife you found! She doesn't even listen to her husband. What will she do when she's in charge of the household? She'll be climbing on the roof and tearing the tiles off the house!"
Old Mrs. Li has always been in charge of the household, but deep down she believes that important family matters should be handled by the man.
The reason she was in charge of managing the household was simply because Old Man Lu was too tired, and she wanted to help him share some of the burden.
However, if these two people were her own son and daughter-in-law, Old Lady Li would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.
If the daughter-in-law is superior to the son today, he'll have to ride roughshod over her tomorrow!
Just like Lao Wu's family, Lao Wu has a wife's brain from who knows where, and all he does is listen to Shen Qianwen's words all day long.
No wonder, Old Lady Li still clearly remembered being asked to apologize to Shen Qianqian last time. Lu Yuncheng always listened to Old Lady Li the most, and he looked at Qi, who was sitting on the ground unmoved.
Ran, with a heavy heart, grabbed her by the collar and dragged her in front of Old Lady Li.
Qi Ran's eyes were red; she had paid the price of 15 years of her life for this man!
And today, he actually forced her to apologize over some trivial matter?
Lu Yuncheng was losing patience. He urged Qi Ran again, "Apologize quickly. Don't delay dinner at home."
Already
Qi Ran bit her lower lip tightly, and finally said to Grandma Li under the watchful eyes of the whole family, "I'm sorry."
Old Mrs. Li's furrowed brows immediately relaxed. This is how a daughter-in-law should be disciplined. One day, she'll have to teach the fifth son a lesson from the eldest.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. As soon as Lu Yunzhi stepped into his house, he saw Qi Qi kneeling in front of Old Lady Li, apologizing.
He glanced at Lu Yuncheng beside Qi Ran, a satisfied smile on his lips.
It's obvious that his bullying older brother is now using his superior strength to bully others again.
However, he didn't like Qi Ran being bullied either, so he ignored it and simply walked past.
Go and kiss your wife.
Perhaps because of what had happened that evening, everyone at the table finished their dinner in silence.
As soon as Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi finished eating, they both slipped into their room. Lately, it had been all vegetarian food; they hadn't had any for a while.
Having prepared some special food, and since Lu Yunzhi had been busy in the city recently, he brought some back with him after get off work.
The two had just put their food in their mouths when a commotion broke out outside the door.
The room wasn't very soundproof, and the two of them could clearly hear everything happening outside the door even without opening it.
Qi Ran, who was outside the door, finished packing her bag. She couldn't bear this humiliation and was preparing to pack her things and go back.
My maternal home.
Lu Yuncheng realized he had gone too far this time, so he quickly hugged Qi Ran tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much she scolded or hit him, pleading tearfully, "Wife, don't go, it was my fault this time, I'll never do it again..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianqian teased, "Your older brother is quite the 'wise man'!"
“That’s right.” Lu Yunzhi was not surprised by Lu Yuncheng’s behavior, after all, he had suffered a lot from such an older brother since he was a child.
When they were children, Lu Yuncheng would take care of the younger members of the Lu family while Grandma Li and Grandpa Lu worked in the fields.
Lu Yunzhi was five years younger than Lu Yuncheng. When Lu Yuncheng was in elementary school, Lu Yunzhi was still a snot-nosed little kid.
Lu Yuncheng often pointed to the firewood on the ground and said, "Go and tidy up the firewood for me."
It took Lu Yunzhi two hands to hold the firewood, and he, along with his third and fourth brothers, worked hard all morning to barely manage to pile it up.
Lu Yuncheng simply sat there doing nothing, waiting for Old Lady Li to return so he could immediately...
He ran up to them, eager to show off: "Mom and Dad, look! I stacked all the firewood this morning!"
"What a wonderful son I have!" Old Mrs. Li smiled from ear to ear, calling him "my wonderful son" over and over again. Sometimes she would even take out an egg from home and cook it into an egg custard for him.
The aroma of steamed egg custard filled the room. Lu Yunzhi and his two companions, their hands covered in wounds, could only stand by and do nothing.
He stared at it, swallowing hard.
The three of them had thought about rebelling, but due to the age difference, they were always forced to work under Lu Yuncheng's supervision until they reached adolescence.
It wasn't until Lu Yunzhi grew taller and stronger than Lu Yuncheng, and until Lu Yunzhi joined the army... that Lu Yuncheng finally spoke to him properly, no longer acting arrogantly as before.
As for Old Lady Li herself, she was a prime example of a snob. In fact, she didn't like Lu Yunzhi at first, but her opinion of him changed after he joined the army and became her most successful son.
Lu Yunzhi spoke these words to Chen Qianqian in a calm tone, as if he were talking about something completely unrelated to himself.
Shen Qianqian felt heartbroken listening to this. In her previous life, because she died young, she had never heard these stories.
It turns out that his childhood was so unhappy that he always felt alienated from everyone in his family.
Shen Qianqian didn't know why before, but now she understands.
"It's okay." She intertwined her fingers with Lu Yunzhi's and said in a coaxing tone, "After we separate, we'll never talk to them again."
When her soft palm touched Lu Yunzhi's rough palm, it was as if she had touched a tiny electric current, which instantly flowed through his entire body, and he stared intently at Shen Qianqian.
