Chapter 23
Tang Wan watched with curiosity as Li Cuihua made the bedding. The festive colors made people happy at first sight.
She couldn't help but think of her and Lu Huaijing in this bed tonight...
The more I thought about her, the redder her face became. Fortunately, everyone was busy and no one noticed her.
“Sprinkle these on too.”
Wang Dani took out a bag of peanuts, melon seeds, longans and red dates that she had prepared long ago, and did not forget to replenish them at the end.
"Say something auspicious."
"Mom, this isn't the first time I've made the bed, you know."
Li Cuihua smiled triumphantly and threw melon seeds and peanuts onto Tang Wan and their wedding bed.
"Sowing a handful of seeds brings together two children.
The second one is auspicious.
Three handfuls bring good fortune, longevity and health.
Four handfuls bring fertility and happiness."
Although Wang Shuhua frowned, Tang Wan could see the envy in her eyes when she looked closely.
These days, people place too much importance on having a son.
"Okay, let's decorate the room a little bit."
Wang Dani took out some cutout wedding characters and wanted to paste them in their room.
Just when they were busy, a very loud noise was heard outside.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where are you?!"
When Wang Dani heard the voice, her face changed immediately and she quickly said to everyone:
"Come out quickly and close the door. You are from the old house. Be careful and don't let anyone enter the third brother's new room."
Tang Wan followed them out of the bridal chamber with a confused look on her face, and vaguely felt that the voice was a little familiar.
When I walked out of the house, I caught a glimpse of a woman with short hair. She had a smile on her face, but she gave people an uncomfortable feeling.
"Sister-in-law, mother asked me to help. I can't write two Lu families with one stroke of the pen. After all, we are a family."
This person is Lu Huaijing’s second aunt Liu Lanhua.
"No need for you."
Wang Dani had a cold face. She didn't lose her temper on such a happy day, but her tone was not very good. "We have so many people in our family, how can we handle it?"
"Sister-in-law, you are still thinking about the past. My parents just can't accept that the old people have to send off the young people.
So many years have passed, it's time for you to let go of these grudges and look forward!"
Liu Lanhua's words seemed to have touched Wang Dani's heart. She picked up the broom in anger and no longer cared about anything else.
"Liu Lanhua, stop pretending. What did those two old guys say when Jianguo died?
They said Jianguo was unfilial and that the twins I was carrying were not his.
Since they have already driven our family out, we should stop chasing them. Dream on thinking about reconciliation!"
The argument between the two also allowed Tang Wan to piece together the truth of that year.
When Lu Huaijing's father died, his grandparents drove him and his family out.
Now, I think Lu Huaijing has a promising future, so I am catching up with him again.
"Sister-in-law, Dad and Mom are the elders after all. How do you treat your elders like this? If my brother still insists, I will beat you up."
Liu Lanhua's face turned cold, "It's fine if your eldest and second sons don't call us parents after they get married.
Now that the third child is getting married, you are still like this. How will everyone see our family?"
"The team members are very discerning. They all know that it is not easy for me to raise several children!"
Wang Dani pouted, "Liu Lanhua, you guys are spending Jianguo's pension and you still want to stick with my third child. What a pipe dream!"
When her husband died, the two old people wanted to please their youngest son, for fear that he would not support them in their old age.
Not only did she force them to leave the house, but she also took away most of her husband's pension. If Jianguo's brothers hadn't anticipated this,
She secretly withheld part of the pension and gave it to them. How could she support so many children?
Now that the third brother seems to have become successful, he is clinging to me again. What a dream!
"I won't tell you."
Liu Lanhua avoided Wang Dani's saliva and looked at Tang Wan with loving eyes.
"You must be the third son's wife, you are so fair and clean, you can tell at first glance that you are from the city.
You scholars value filial piety the most. I believe you are different from your mother. You should ask the third child to invite his grandparents to attend the wedding."
These words made Wang Dani's heart skip a beat.
It’s not that she’s afraid that Tang Wan won’t listen to her, but the third brother’s family doesn’t know what happened back then, so they might be soft-hearted.
"My dear third brother's wife, please don't make any mistakes!"
Li Cuihua raised her voice. The people in this old house were vampires. She didn't want to bother with those old couple!
Although she likes to take advantage of others and make trouble at home, she is still united with others outside.
"You have no right to speak!"
Liu Lanhua glared at Li Cuihua fiercely. They were of the same kind and naturally looked down on each other.
Tang Wan smiled generously, "Comrade, since I have married into the Lu family, I will follow the family wherever they want.
I listen to Huai Jing. Huai Jing is not at home right now, so I naturally listen to my mother-in-law."
Wang Dani was particularly satisfied with the flawless words. She raised her chin slightly and said to the angry and frustrated Liu Lanhua:
"Did you hear me? Get the hell out of here!"
She felt a sense of relief.
"As a new bride, you must offer tea to your grandpa!"
Liu Lanhua still refused to give up, and Tang Wan pushed back with all her might, "Huai Jing is the one who makes the decisions in my family.
He is a soldier, I believe he knows right from wrong and has a high level of awareness.
The elders he respects are elders, and those he doesn’t respect are probably disrespectful.”
Liu Lanhua: !!!
She looked at Tang Wan in shock and said something so infuriating that she was about to point at Tang Wan's nose and curse her.
A tall figure stood in front of Tang Wan. It turned out to be Lu Huaijing who had gotten up early to borrow tables and chairs from the brigade.
With a cold face and a hostile tone, he said: "You dare to point at my wife again?!"
Lu Huaijing and Lu Jianguo look very similar. Both of them are soldiers and have a very imposing aura.
When he stood there, Liu Lanhua almost thought she had seen her dead uncle.
"You...just wait, wait for a lot of people to stab you in the back!"
"You have been stabbed in the back for so many years and you are still alive. I am upright and have no fear!"
Wang Dani spat harshly at Liu Lanhua's back, and Liu Lanhua staggered and almost fell.
"You may be so proud of yourself, but be careful that the third brother will die like the eldest brother!"
"Liu Lanhua!"
Wang Dani screamed and rushed forward with a broom in her hand. The child was her weak spot.
She rode Liu Lanhua hard and beat her up, beating her madly, and Tang Wan and the others didn't try to stop her.
"Oh, Wang Dani, you are crazy, let me go!"
"Crazy woman, I'm going to fight you!"
It was not until Liu Lanhua could no longer shout that Li Cuihua, Tang Wan and the other two went forward in a proper manner to pull Wang Dani away.
"Mom, Huaijing is very powerful. He will be fine."
Li Cuihua also reminded, "Mom, today is the eldest daughter's wedding day, let's ignore what she said!"
Wang Dani finally got off Liu Lanhua. She patted her clothes, glanced at Liu Lanhua and said:
"If I hear you cursing the Third Brother again, I will strangle your son to death!"
"Wang Dani, I'm going to go to the commune and sue you for beating me!"
Liu Lanhua felt a severe pain in her chest and her hands were weak, as if her bones were broken.
The faces of the Lu family members changed, and Tang Wan said calmly: "If you want to sue, go ahead.
When the time comes, we will also talk to the people in the commune about what crime it is to insult revolutionary martyrs."
Liu Lanhua: !!!
