After Lu Huaijiao finished speaking, she yawned and told Gu Changzheng to close the door.
"Close the door, I don't want to see anything that's in my way."
"good."
Gu Changzheng closed the door and bolted it.
It separated the inside from the outside, creating two separate worlds.
Qin Lan stood there, staring at the tightly closed door, trembling with anger!
A chuckle came from the side.
"Oh, isn't this our Mrs. Lu? Why are you acting all high and mighty as a stepmother, but you're all soaking wet? Did someone throw your foot bath water on you?"
Zheng Shujuan was carrying a basket containing some fruit and snacks, which she had brought especially for Lu Huaijiao.
Seeing the mother and daughter who had been arrogantly directing others to work just two days ago, now in such a sorry state, she wanted to say they deserved it.
She's just a filthy rat in a ditch, unable to recognize her own place, climbing into another woman's husband's bed. Such a shameless woman deserves to be spat on.
Things are better now. If it were before, a woman like Qin Lan would definitely have been put in a pig cage and drowned.
Qin Lan didn't react to Zheng Shujuan's words.
He stared blankly at Zheng Shujuan.
Zhu Guihua, however, couldn't hold back her anger. She wanted to curse and give Zheng Shujuan a good scolding to vent her frustration.
She had already boasted to the villagers that she was going to move to the city and live in a small villa with a yard. The old women were incredibly envious of her; they had such a good daughter who was going to marry a rich man.
Now that we've just gotten our hands on the big house, that wretched girl Lu Huaijiao has come back. What does this mean?
If she can't live in a big house, will she be laughed at by the old folks in the village?
Zhu Guihua was about to start cursing, but Zheng Shujuan wasn't afraid of her. She turned around and cursed Zhu Guihua so badly that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.
Zhu Guihua was about to sit on the ground and throw a tantrum again. Qin Lan felt utterly ashamed and grabbed her mother, forcibly dragging her away.
"Yanhua, why are you dragging me away? I haven't even finished arguing with that bitch yet, why are you dragging me away?"
"Hurry up and leave, aren't you ashamed?"
What happened today was both sudden and embarrassing, and it might even affect her relationship with Zhengde. She needs to go back and carefully consider what to do next.
But while she was willing to give up like that, Zhu Guihua was not!
He grumbled and turned to look for someone again.
Qin Lan had no choice but to take out five yuan from her pocket and stuff it into Zhu Guihua's hand.
"Hurry up and go cut some meat for my dad so we can cook."
Zhu Guihua sees money like a leech sees water.
She reluctantly stuffed the money into her underwear pocket.
"How can we cut meat from such a small amount? Your father eats meat and drinks alcohol, and your little brother is also growing and has a big appetite."
"Mom, my little brother is already twenty-two. What's the point of him growing? He's so fat. He won't go hungry if he skips a few meals."
"What did you say?" Zhu Guihua's face darkened instantly.
Immediately afterwards, he started howling at the top of his lungs.
"Poor me, how could I have raised such an unfilial daughter? I asked you to give your mother some money so you could cut some meat for your father to eat, but you wouldn't even let me. And you still say you married the director? Is there any kind of daughter like you?"
"mom!"
Qin Lan was really about to be driven crazy by Zhu Guihua.
She covered Zhu Guihua's wailing mouth and reluctantly took out two yuan from her pocket.
"That's all. I was originally planning to cut some meat for your eldest grandson, but now I'm giving it all to you."
"Really, that's all?"
Zhu Guihua reached into Qin Lan's pocket and rummaged around. Finding that there really was nothing left, she snatched the two yuan, put her finger in her mouth to wet it with saliva, and dabbed at it.
“If Huaiyu wants meat, let his dad cut it for him. Isn’t his dad the director? He used to send so much money to that money-losing kid in the countryside every month, but he’s so stingy with his own son.”
Zhu Guihua's sharp tongue made Qin Lan very reluctant to acknowledge her as her mother.
But what she said was true.
When Lu Huaijiao was working in the countryside, Lu Zhengde would send her his salary as if it were free. Now that Lu Huaijiao is married, he doesn't need to send her his salary anymore, so the rest of the money should belong to Huaiyu.
Seeing Qin Lan's expression, Zhu Guihua knew that Qin Lan had taken her words to heart.
She snorted and instructed Qin Lan to go back and give Lu Zhengde a good dressing down.
“We can’t be nice to that brat Lu Huaijiao anymore. You must tell your son-in-law not to acknowledge her anymore. This kind of money-losing girl is better off dead.”
"mom!"
Qin Lan felt a little uncomfortable. She was also a woman, and she had been scolded by her parents as a money-losing child since she was a child.
Even though she has finally managed to coax Lu Zhengde and given birth to a son, she is still very sensitive to the term "money-losing girl".
Zhu Guihua said "Oh," and seeing Qin Lan's unhappy face, she smiled and patted Qin Lan's hand: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Lu Huaijiao, that good-for-nothing who was born of a mother but raised by one. Don't take it to heart."
Qin Lan's face still didn't look very good, but she didn't dwell on it anymore.
After all, she's the one who married the best among all her sisters, and the whole family depends on her for survival. She's not some useless, money-losing burden.
After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they went their separate ways home.
…………
At Lu Huaijiao's home, Zheng Shujuan delivered the gifts to Lu Huaijiao and sat down to talk to her.
This made her too embarrassed to go to sleep, so she asked Gu Changzheng to wash some fruit and ate and chatted with Zheng Shujuan.
Zheng Shujuan smiled as she looked at Gu Changzheng, who hadn't uttered a single complaint and had worked tirelessly without a word of complaint.
“Huaijiao married a good man. When you come back this time, take him to meet your grandmother. I believe she will be happy to see your good marriage in heaven.”
Although Zheng Shujuan is from the city, she does not look down on people with rural household registration.
Based on Gu Changzheng's words and actions, she judged him to be a reliable man. Marrying him would be much better than marrying those smooth-talking city dwellers.
Lu Huaijiao had already guessed that Zheng Shujuan admired Gu Changzheng.
After all, her grandmother's close aunt was definitely not the kind of person who would be materialistic and snobbish.
Lu Huaijiao nodded with a smile.
"Yes, he's very good to me. I'll take him to see his grandma tomorrow."
Gu Changzheng, who was washing fruit at the tap, trembled. The next second, his thin lips almost split open to the back of his head.
His wife said he was good, hahaha, his wife said he was good!!!
If Zheng Shujuan hadn't been there, Gu Changzheng would have rushed over and given her a good hug and kisses.
Lu Huaijiao, who was talking to Zheng Shujuan, heard the sound of water running continuously. She looked up and glanced at Gu Changzheng, who had his back to them, with a puzzled look.
"Gu Changzheng, what are you doing? Don't you know it's shameful to waste water?"
Gu Changzheng, who was just immersed in the fantasy of his wife loving him to death, was immediately woken up from his dream when he heard that familiar tone of disdain.
