Lu Huaijiao led the two little girls by the hand to fill the water bottle, and then took them to the yard to test it. Seeing that water was indeed coming out of the nozzle, the two little girls were very happy.
She kept giggling.
Lu Huaijiao leaned against the door frame, watching the two sisters play, a faint smile on her lips: "Remember not to aim at their eyes."
"Okay, Auntie."
“We remember, Auntie.”
The two sisters answered together, their voices melodious and pleasant.
The other people in the kitchen had different thoughts when they heard the sound.
Needless to say, Xu Honglian was extremely angry. Her hatred was so intense it was almost tangible, and she wished it could fly out of her eyes and tear Lu Huaijiao, that troublemaker, to pieces.
As for Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan, who were about to get their hands on the toy water guns only to have them snatched away by their uncle's two good-for-nothings, they didn't dare to cry under Gu Changzheng's intimidation. But they were still indignant that their toys were gone just like that.
The two of them got up from the ground and rushed towards Xu Honglian, reaching out to grab and scratch her, shouting, "Give us back our little water guns! Give us back our little water guns!"
These two mischievous kids, not daring to throw a tantrum at Gu Changzheng or act wildly in front of the newcomer Lu Huaijiao, could only come to their mother, Xu Honglian, to cause trouble.
Once they start making trouble, it never ends.
Moreover, relying on Xu Honglian's doting affection, these two weren't afraid of their mother at all. Besides, they were mother and sons, so when they started arguing, no one else could easily interfere.
Gu Changqing has already said what he wanted to say; if he hadn't, no one would have cared.
Gu Changzheng didn't want to see them arguing, so he went outside and looked at Lu Huaijiao playing with the two children in the yard. The light from inside the house cast a soft, dim glow on her face, as if shrouding her body in a light.
Surrounded by her two children, she exuded a sense of tranquility and peace.
Gu Changzheng, who originally wanted to enjoy more time with his wife, suddenly had a thought: having children sooner isn't so bad. At worst, they can have a family of four later.
Of course, Gu Changzheng would never agree to Lu Huaijiao's suggestion of having ten or eight children. She didn't care about her health, but he did.
Two kids are enough; any more than that and they'll be noisy and annoying, and your wife won't have time to spend with you.
Lu Huaijiao was unaware that Gu Changzheng had already thought of all this.
At this moment, Lu Huaijiao, who was squatting down playing with the two children, had thoughts completely opposite to Gu Changzheng's.
She was thinking that since Gu Changzheng refused to have a child with her, there was no need for her to waste any more time with him. The idea of breaking up with Gu Changzheng had already crossed her mind.
Gu Changzheng was unaware of this.
During the meal, Lu Huaijiao didn't shovel rice into Gu Changzheng's bowl like she did the night before. Instead, she only took a small amount of rice when He Meizhu started serving.
He Meizhu glanced at the silent fourth brother and keenly sensed that something was wrong with the young couple.
"What's wrong, Jiaojiao? Fourth brother is wrong. We need to be full to have the energy to get angry."
The meaning behind her words was quite clear.
Lu Huaijiao, however, scorned her spoiled behavior from last night and gently shook her head: "No, Mom." After saying that, she buried her head and ate her meal in small bites.
He didn't spare Gu Changzheng a single glance during that time.
The other people at the same table couldn't help but glance at the couple a few more times. They didn't know what had happened between Lu Huaijiao and Gu Changzheng.
He Meizhu's glares kept flying at Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng lowered his head and tried to curry favor with Lu Huaijiao several times without making a sound, but Lu Huaijiao silently dodged him each time.
The atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Lu Huaijiao was completely unaware.
After dinner, He Meizhu urged her to go back to her room to rest.
Lu Huaijiao rolled up her sleeves, ready to wash the dishes: "Is it my turn to wash the dishes tonight, Mom? I'll go back to my room after I'm done washing and tidying up." The girl who was usually so delicate and even complained about the weight of chopsticks was now offering to wash the dishes.
What kind of shock must have happened to him?
He Meizhu dared not wash the dishes for Lu Huaijiao anymore.
"It's alright. You must be tired from your trip to the city today. Let Mom wash these dishes. You can wash them next time."
"Mom, I'm not tired, I'll be done washing soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Huaijiao laboriously carried the basin to the sink to wash the dishes. She couldn't just haphazardly rinse them with water like Xu Honglian did.
A pair of large hands reached out and picked up the basin first.
"Go back to your room, I'll wash the dishes."
Gu Changzheng's deep voice sounded above him.
Lu Huaijiao shook her head again: "I can wash it."
"Lu Huaijiao!"
Gu Changzheng's tone carried a hint of anger. Normally, when Lu Huaijiao was lazy and caused trouble, he thought she was indeed a little troublemaker. But now that she was unusually diligent, Gu Changzheng felt even more uncomfortable.
A thought kept surfacing from the depths of her heart: making her do chores was an unforgivable sin. Lu Huaijiao wasn't born to work; she was meant to live a pampered, unruly life.
Lu Huaijiao was unwilling.
Gu Changzheng ignored her and simply carried the basin away. Taking advantage of his height, which was much taller than Lu Huaijiao, he carried the basin out. Even on tiptoe, Lu Huaijiao couldn't reach the wooden basin that held the bowls.
So annoying!
Lu Huaijiao stood there dejectedly, pouting and a little angry. So what if Gu Changzheng is tall?
She hummed twice, inwardly criticizing Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng, carrying a wooden basin, walked to the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he kept glancing at Lu Huaijiao inside the house. When he saw her frowning and pouting angrily, his tense jaw relaxed and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Indeed, a little troublemaker is only suitable when she's a bit delicate and pampered.
"Watch the road, fourth brother."
He Meizhu's soft voice rang out from the side, and Gu Changzheng quickly came back to his senses, stepping out of the threshold with a tense face.
He Meizhu, who witnessed the fourth son's instant change of expression, exclaimed: "He's just like his father!"
He's all talk and no action; he doesn't know how to coax people properly. But at least the fourth son is better than the old man; although he doesn't know how to coax with words, he still knows how to do it.
This is barely acceptable.
He Meizhu returned to her room with peace of mind.
Lu Huaijiao tidied up the rest of the kitchen, then carefully washed her hands with water, making sure they weren't greasy or dirty at all.
Gu Changzheng had already washed the dishes. Seeing Lu Huaijiao carefully lathering her hands with soap, he thought she was being a nuisance.
But it's also very cute and pleasing to the eye.
This is the kind of girl he cares about.
"Would you like to take a bath? I'll get you some water."
Gu Changzheng placed the bowl on the side dish rack and turned it upside down to drain the water.
Lu Huaijiao raised her head and looked at Gu Changzheng warily: "Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious! Gu Changzheng, just say what you want."
So what if she just doesn't want to be together? She's ready to lay her cards on the table!
