Chapter 134
Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing looked at each other and both realized that something was wrong.
This woman is not a pushover.
Sure enough, Zhou Laoer's wife said loudly: "Mom, I told you a long time ago.
My sister-in-law is still so young, it’s impossible for her to spend her whole life taking care of orchids.
Bring Lanhua back and we will raise her so she can get married peacefully."
She spoke so beautifully that Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing almost thought they were hallucinating.
Aunt Zhou sneered, "Okay, I don't know you, you're just thinking about the boss's pension.
That money belongs to Lanhua, so don’t think about it, or I will never forgive you.”
"Mom, how could you miss us so much? We really love Lanhua."
Zhou Laoer's wife didn't even cook, she just stood guard at the door. With that money, her son's daughter-in-law could save on the dowry when she got married in the future.
"Roll, roll, roll."
Aunt Zhou was also a powerful person. She yelled at him and covered her face with her hands in frustration.
"My poor Lanhua, Xiaolu, can you please tell me what is going on?
Where is the man Xu He married from and what kind of person is he?"
The story has already been half told, and there is no way Tang Wan and the others could hide it from the old man.
After all, even if you really adopt the child, you still have to inform the elderly.
So Tang Wan told Xu He what she was thinking, "Sister-in-law wants us to raise the child."
"How can this be possible?"
Aunt Zhou started to cry, "Xiao Lu, you said my son died trying to save you.
In fact, I know that it is normal for you to have casualties when you go on a mission together.
I don't blame you. Raising a child is no small matter. How can I let him be such a burden to you?"
She is a sensible person. Tang Wan became a mother before she even had a child. She would not do such an unreasonable thing.
"We know, but Xu He is getting married, and you can't bring Lanhua with you in this situation, so we..."
Lu Huaijing was in a difficult situation. It was the first time he encountered such a troublesome thing.
Aunt Zhou patted her thigh and said with a serious face:
"Xiao Lu, I can't let you raise Lanhua. Since Xu He doesn't want to raise her, I will raise her myself!"
In the past, she ignored Lanhua because she was concerned that Xu He was her biological mother and she was also worried that her daughter-in-law would treat Lanhua badly.
But at this point, she is the only one who can take care of Lanhua.
She wiped away her tears and said, "The house they live in now was built by my son at the cost of his life and your troops.
It's okay for Xu He to get married, but she can leave the house to me and I will take care of Lanhua in the future!"
"This……"
Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing looked at each other. They both felt a little worried about Aunt Zhou's frail body.
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "I just caught a cold because I missed Lanhua so much. Don't worry, I can take good care of the child."
"mother!"
Zhou Laoer's wife probably informed Zhou Laoer, and at this moment Zhou Laoer knocked on the door.
Aunt Zhou smiled apologetically at Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing, "This is our family affair.
Let me handle it. He won’t dare to do anything to me.”
When Aunt Zhou opened the door, Tang Wan saw Zhou Laoer standing next to his wife.
Zhou Laoer was a strong man in the village. He glanced coldly at Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan.
Then he said to Aunt Zhou in a stern tone: "Mom, I heard from my wife that my sister-in-law is going to remarry?"
"She is so young, is she still being left alone with your brother as a widow?"
In fact, Aunt Zhou could understand this, but because of Lanhua's incident, she couldn't help but feel resentful towards Xu He.
Hearing this, Zhou Laoer's face turned red with anger, "She receives subsidies from my brother every month.
If you still want to get married now, you have to take back the subsidies and not let her receive them!"
"Shut up!"
Aunt Zhou looked at her son who was only looking at the money with disappointment, "That's Lanhua's money."
"What orchid? You are a married girl. This money should be left for your grandson."
Zhou Laoer did not hesitate in front of Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing, obviously not taking them seriously.
Aunt Zhou was so angry that she vomited blood. She said coldly, "I've thought it through.
Lanhua will be without a father or a mother from now on, and now she only has me as her grandmother.
I will give you all the land and property at home, and I will live alone with Lanhua from now on."
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Laoer's wife's face changed and she glanced at Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing awkwardly.
I don’t know what these two people said to my mother-in-law that made her so tough.
She suddenly felt a little resentful towards Tang Wan.
"We are Lanhua's uncle and aunt, if you are worried, mother.
Bring Lanhua back to live with us. She will be indispensable for us to have food to eat."
Zhou Laoer's wife winked at Zhou Laoer crazily, saying that when the child came home, she would have the final say.
Not only will there be one more person to help with the housework at home, but you can also sell the child for dowry in the future.
As for the extra mouth, just feed it with something to eat.
Hearing this, Zhou Laoer also followed suit and said, "Mom, we will be filial to you."
"No, I've made up my mind."
Aunt Zhou said to Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan without allowing any argument: "Is Lanhua at your house?
I'll pack up and pick up Lanhua to go to Xu He's place."
"Auntie, Comrade Xu He said he would go back to pick up Lanhua in the evening."
Tang Wan didn't expect things to turn out like this, but Lanhua's grandmother had already made up her mind.
Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing, two outsiders, naturally couldn't say much.
"Mom, we'll go with you."
Zhou Laoer wanted to continue, but Aunt Zhou glanced at him, quickly went into the house and started packing.
The old lady didn't actually have much stuff; it only filled a few bags.
But Tang Wan couldn't sit on the bicycle anymore.
Lu Huaijing simply said, "Wife, you carry me, I'll run to catch up."
"Are you sure?"
Tang Wan’s eyes widened. Is her man so powerful?
And he's still running to keep up?
"Sure."
Lu Huaijing noticed the surprise in Tang Wan's eyes, and immediately waved his arms triumphantly, which was inexplicably funny.
"Mom, think about it carefully. How about this? You stay at my sister-in-law's place for two days. I'll come pick you up after I finish my work."
Zhou Laoer was a little afraid of Lu Huaijing, so he could only watch them take his mother away.
Aunt Zhou was a very capable person. She went directly to the brigade to get a letter of introduction, and then followed Tang Wan and the others back to the compound.
This place is not far from the compound, but Tang Wan still rode for forty minutes.
That is to say, Lu Huaijing ran for forty minutes.
When the bicycle stopped, Tang Wan looked at Lu Huaijing, who was sweating all over, and suddenly felt a little distressed.
"Lu Huaijing, we're almost there, why don't we take a break?"
"It's OK."
Although Lu Huaijing was sweating, he quickly adjusted his breathing in front of his wife.
He looked very powerful, like a peacock spreading its tail. Aunt Zhou saw through him but didn't say anything.
As soon as we entered the compound, everyone looked at us curiously. This is the bad thing about living in a compound: people these days are too gossipy.
Tang Wan didn't want to deal with it, so she simply rode her bike back to her yard quickly.
"Orchid!"
Aunt Zhou stared at Lanhua digging earthworms in the yard, and her eyes suddenly became red.
