Zhang Cuiping lowered her head and ate the rice in her bowl earnestly.
The crying from next door was still going on.
The fourth branch of the family.
As Lu Huaijiao listened to Xu Honglian's increasingly pitiful cries, she sat under the grape trellis, resting her chin on her hand, looking extremely troubled.
Gu Changzheng brought the food out and placed it on the stone table in front of Lu Huaijiao.
He found it somewhat amusing to see the little girl lost in thought.
"What's wrong? Why do you look unhappy?"
Lu Huaijiao wrinkled her nose and gave the man beside her a disdainful look.
"It's just that having a daughter-in-law like Xu Honglian in the family must be a huge worry for the parents-in-law."
"Hmm? You're already thinking about what we'll be like when we're old?"
Gu Changzheng smiled and handed the chopsticks to Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao was not very willing to accept.
The main problem is that she had just eaten breakfast not long ago, and now it's lunchtime, so she really can't eat much.
She could skip the meal, but she couldn't ignore any wrong statements Gu Changzheng made.
"I won't be like that when I'm old. I'll live separately from my children when they grow up. It's their business what kind of wife they want. In short, they can't come to me and upset me."
Otherwise, she would close the door and let Gu Changzheng out!
but……
Lu Huaijiao looked the man beside her up and down, her eyes full of ill intent.
Gu Changzheng felt a chill run down his spine.
"Wife, just tell me what you want me to do. Don't look at me with those calculating eyes. I'm a coward, I'm scared."
He wasn't lying; he was genuinely afraid of Lu Huaijiao! Mainly because her terrible ideas always came out of nowhere, catching him off guard and making his heart race.
So it's better to clarify things upfront.
Lu Huaijiao was quite frank.
She nodded and said in a serious tone, "Dad is getting old now, but he can still beat his unfilial daughter-in-law because he works hard and is physically strong."
"so what?"
Gu Changzheng had a gut feeling that what followed wouldn't be anything good, but he still couldn't help asking the question.
Even if he didn't ask, Lu Huaijiao would continue talking.
Wouldn't it be better to show that you're eager to learn?
As expected, Lu Huaijiao continued, "But you're so lazy now, you only work sporadically, so your body won't get any exercise. When you get to Dad's age, will you still be able to beat your unfilial daughter-in-law?"
Gu Changzheng: ? ? ?
He was shocked! He was dumbfounded! He was at a loss! He had never seen Lu Huaijiao so arrogant!
What do you mean he's so lazy?
"No, my little darling, my wife, my darling, isn't there something we need to figure out first?"
Gu Changzheng felt that everything else could be discussed later, but there was one thing that needed to be made clear right now.
"What's up?"
Lu Huaijiao lazily raised an eyebrow.
Gu Changzheng laughed in exasperation at that "you're just making excuses, I'm not listening" attitude.
Gu Changzheng reached out and pulled the person into his arms, kissing him: "Do you think your man isn't feeling well?"
Yes, that's the matter.
Whether he was a strong and healthy man in Lu Huaijiao's eyes far outweighed whether he was a lazy man, which shows how important he was.
As he said this, there was something hard and painful that was really uncomfortable.
This is indirect proof—no, it's direct proof that he's in good health.
Lu Huaijiao shifted uncomfortably: "You're healthy now, but if this continues, your back will definitely give out. By then, you won't be able to beat up your unfilial daughter-in-law, and you might even need me to help you walk."
She imagined a scene in her mind: she was as beautiful as a flower, while Gu Changzheng beside her had become a hunched-over, white-haired old man due to excessive indulgence...
That scene is actually quite something to look forward to!
Lu Huaijiao was amused by her own imagination.
Gu Changzheng clicked his tongue, and then, holding his wife, ate two bowls of porridge and three steamed buns. After coaxing the person sitting on his lap to eat a few bites of scrambled eggs, he finished the rest of the scrambled eggs and pickled vegetables.
He then let out a satisfied burp.
Lu Huaijiao found it extremely distasteful.
You're so dirty!
Gu Changzheng: ...
I knew this person was the type to kick someone when they've used them.
He was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Xu Honglian's crying next door gradually subsided, but Lu Huaijiao knew that this matter was definitely not over yet.
If Xu Honglian doesn't cause some trouble in the next few days, she's no longer Xu Honglian.
"Gu Changzheng, how about we guess what Xu Honglian will do next?"
Out of embarrassment and anger?
She felt that the possibility was relatively small.
The most likely scenario is that she'll go back to her parents' home? And use her family to force Gu Jianhua to apologize to her?
Lu Huaijiao guessed correctly.
Before she could even finish the thought, she heard a loud thud from the neighboring yard. Excited, she wanted to stand up and see if she had guessed correctly.
Where are you going?
"Let's see if Xu Honglian went back to her parents' home to get help!" Is there even a need to ask such a simple question?
Gu Changzheng really has no sense of judgment!
Gu Changzheng didn't expect his wife to be so clever and to guess it so easily.
"No need to go see him. He did go, and he brought two children with him, cursing and saying he wouldn't live with his second brother anymore."
Gu Changzheng's account was exactly as he had witnessed it.
Lu Huaijiao hummed in response.
"You know her very well!"
"Hmm? Why does that sound so sour? Let me see who's secretly jealous?"
