Lu Huaijiao certainly hadn't expected this ending.
She thought Gu Changzheng was just going to teach the old woman who had shoved her a lesson, but she never expected that Gu Changzheng would take someone's life the moment he did.
This action not only ruined Lu Zhengde's reputation, but also caused problems for the child that Lu Zhengde and Qin Yanhua valued most, and also made Zhao Rui realize Lu Zhengde's true character.
This is killing three birds with one stone!
Of course, whether Zhao Rui could deny Lu Zhengde's character was irrelevant to Lu Huaijiao and the others. In any case, Zhao Rui's life or death was none of their concern; she wasn't a relative of theirs.
If she could harm Lu Zhengde's most cherished child while attacking Zhao Rui, that would be enough to make Lu Huaijiao happy.
Although He Meizhu didn't know that Lu Huaijiao had almost been pushed over yesterday, she already disliked Lu Zhengde, and she was overjoyed to hear about the scandal that had happened to Lu Zhengde's family.
He looked even happier than if he had found the money himself.
She pulled Sanbao along and squeezed in.
"Big sister, what do you mean by that? That seemingly respectable Lu Zhengde actually did such a despicable thing? Is that true?"
He Meizhu's voice was loud and clear, and her excitement was almost overflowing.
This made the neighbors who were gossiping nearby all look at He Meizhu with curiosity.
Compared to Lu Zhengde, whom they chatted about over tea, they were more concerned about their neighbor in the same alley. They wondered what grudge she had against Lu Zhengde.
The aunt who had spoken earlier exclaimed "Oh!"
"Isn't it true? They've even taken this to the police station. Wow, this is quite a scene, no less than when Zhao Guofu was caught cheating."
Mentioning Zhao Guofu, who has already been sentenced to death, someone immediately became interested again: "Hey, you know what, Lu Zhengde's young wife seems to be Zhao Guofu's daughter."
"What's wrong with the Zhao family? Why do they keep running into things like this?"
The neighbors were all very curious, each offering their own opinions.
He Meizhu scoffed, "Isn't it because they themselves are morally corrupt? If they were all upright and honest people, how could such a thing have happened?"
"That's right. Sister-in-law Gu, what you said makes sense."
The so-called casual chat is just a bunch of small talk, exchanging "information." Don't underestimate these middle-aged women and grandmas who gather together for idle chatter; their sources of information are in no way inferior to those of intelligence organizations in the past.
That's right, the conversation can easily veer off-topic.
They were originally talking about the Lu family, but someone mentioned men, and then everyone started complaining about their own men. Once they started, it seemed like they couldn't stop.
He Meizhu realized that this wouldn't work. She wanted to know about Lu Zhengde, not listen to them gossip about their men. So she spoke up and steered the conversation back to Lu Zhengde.
The aunties and grandmas who had originally run off came to their senses and continued Lu Zhengde's topic of 'exchanging information'.
"I heard that after Zhao Rui caused a scene at the police station, she suddenly had severe stomach pains and was rushed to the hospital!"
"Oh my, that Lu Zhengde is really disgusting. He's old enough to be Zhao Rui's father, yet he marries such a young wife. I don't know what he's up to."
"Which man doesn't like to look good? Don't let Lu Zhengde's age fool you, he's still a man, and he's definitely not going to change this habit. Besides, he never does any heavy work, and he doesn't look like a man in his forties."
"Not doing heavy work means you're young, no wonder you can attract young girls..."
Seeing that the conversation was going off-topic again, Lu Huaijiao raised her hand to pinch her brow, waved to Sanbao who was with He Meizhu, then told He Meizhu and led them home first.
As for He Meizhu, let her stay here and exchange information with the neighbors.
Lu Huaijiao held Erbao and Sanbao's hands, with Dabao walking in front and Chen Lin following beside them. As they walked, Sanbao kept asking if Lu Zhengde was the bad guy who claimed to be their grandfather.
Lu Huaijiao didn't hide anything from the child and nodded with a smile.
Da Bao clenched his little fist tightly: "Hmph, that bad guy, if he dares to bully Mommy next time, I will definitely beat him up."
A four-year-old child actually said he could beat up an adult? Lu Huaijiao smiled and nodded, saying okay, without questioning whether Da Bao could really beat the person away.
When the second and third brothers saw what their eldest brother said, they joined his team and vowed to drive away any bad people who bullied their mother and protect her.
"To protect Mom and my sister."
"Yes, I will also protect my mom and my sister."
"Me too."
The three brothers shared the same idea.
Lu Huaijiao smiled and said, "What if it's a younger brother?"
Ever since she started to have doubts about her belly last night, Lu Huaijiao couldn't be so sure that the baby in her belly was a girl. In order not to disappoint Sanbao, she felt that she needed to give Sanbao a heads-up in advance.
They had always thought that their mother was carrying a younger sister, but when they suddenly heard their mother say that it might be a younger brother, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at Lu Huaijiao.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Lu Huaijiao asked with a smile.
Sanbao shook his head.
"If it's a younger brother, we'll let them play together."
“They can help us protect Mom.”
