Chapter 98

"Niuniu."

Lu Huaijing seemed to like Niu Niu very much and picked her up as soon as he entered the door.

Niu Niu was amused and giggled, looking at Tang Wan and Tang Zhou with curious eyes.

"The little girl missed you so much."

Lu Huaili looked at Niuniu with a smile, and then said to Tang Wan and Tang Zhou, "Third sister-in-law, please sit down for a while. The food will be ready soon."

As she spoke, she poured a cup of sugar water for Tang Wan and Tang Zhou.

"Isn't my brother-in-law home for dinner?"

Tang Wan sat for a while and didn't see Lu Huaili's man come back, so she asked curiously.

Lu Huaili smiled and shook her head, "His troops have been busy these past two days."

"He's busy with his business, and we're eating our own food."

Lu Huaijing played with Niu Niu for a while and then put her into the stroller.

Tang Wan saw Niuniu showing a few teeth when she smiled, and couldn't help asking:

"How old is Niuniu?"

"Exactly one year old."

When Lu Huaili talked about Niuniu, her face was full of smiles, and she talked nonstop:

"The child can't speak yet, and can't walk steadily."

"There's no rush for this, take your time."

Tang Wan stared at Niu Niu with envy and suddenly felt that the child was quite cute.

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I heard a sharp sound coming from next door.

"Eat, eat, eat. Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?"

This voice sounds strangely familiar, maybe it's Cheng Xiaoyue?

Perhaps seeing the surprise in her eyes, Lu Huaili rolled her eyes and said unhappily:

"You heard it right, it's Cheng Xiaoyue, she lives next door to us!"

Tang Wan: …

It's true that enemies often meet in a narrow road.

Tang Wan couldn't help but stand up and look outside out of curiosity, and saw Cheng Xiaoyue cooking noodles in the corridor.

The portion is not big, it doesn't look like it was cooked for three people.

Behind her stood two children, one about seven or eight years old, and the other five or six years old.

The two girls were dressed in tattered clothes and were staring at Cheng Xiaoyue with hatred.

Cheng Xiaoyue seemed to sense their gazes, she turned around and glared at them fiercely.

"What are you looking at? There is no portion for you. Eat yours."

The two children are like separate buns. As long as they are not starving to death, that’s enough. This is Cheng Xiaoyue’s principle.

The older girl was called Duan Guihua. She looked at Cheng Xiaoyue coldly until her noodles were cooked.

Cheng Xiaoyue had just picked up the noodles and had no time to eat them when Duan Guihua snatched them away.

"Ah, let go!"

Cheng Xiaoyue was so angry that she jumped up and down, trying to snatch the noodles back, but the smaller Duan Guizhi stepped forward and bit her arm hard.

"Ah, you little bitch, let me go!"

Cheng Xiaoyue gasped in pain. Duan Guihua, who had run a little further away, slurped up the noodles and quickly finished most of them.

She handed the noodles to the little Duan Guihua, then glared at Cheng Xiaoyue fiercely and said:

"My father bought this with his earnings. Don't even think about having it all to yourself!"

"Bitch!"

Cheng Xiaoyue took off her shoe horn and wanted to beat them up, but the two girls had already run away down the stairs.

Tang Wan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It takes evil to deal with evil people.

Perhaps feeling her gaze, Cheng Xiaoyue turned around suddenly and met Tang Wan's smiling eyes.

"Are you laughing at me?"

Cheng Xiaoyue looked at Tang Wan with hatred. She should have thought of it earlier that she would come here.

It was to please Lu Huaili that she got to know Lao Duan next door.

“I didn’t say that.”

Tang Wan thought to herself, you said that yourself, probably because you are afraid that Cheng Xiaoyue will make things difficult for her.

Lu Huaijing also came out and stood behind Tang Wan, making Cheng Xiaoyue cry.

Why is she so pitiful?

Cheng Xiaoyue turned around and went into the house angrily. Lu Huaili couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Duan is very busy, and there is no one at home to take care of the two children, so the two children are very smart.

Cheng Xiaoyue is still a little naive if she wants to control or bully them."

“This is the path she chose.”

Tang Wan remembered that her brother wanted to send her back, but unfortunately Cheng Xiaoyue would rather marry a divorced man in order to stay.

This is not someone else's fault.

"Third brother, please keep an eye on Niuniu for me while I cook."

Lu Huaili came to the corridor carrying the prepared ingredients. Every household's coal briquette stove could be carried outside.

Tang Wan hurried forward and said enthusiastically: "Lili, I'll help you."

"No, Sister-in-law, you take a rest. I'm very quick."

The longer Lu Huaili spent with Tang Wan, the better she felt about her.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and this harmonious scene was seen by Cheng Xiaoyue who was sitting next door.

She pinched her palms tightly, on what basis?

When she tried desperately to please Lu Huaili, Lu Huaili never gave her a good look.

How is she inferior to Tang Wan?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Cheng Xiaoyue's covetous eyes fell on Lu Huaijing again, who was holding Niuniu in his arms and coaxing her.

Tang Zhou was making Niu Niu laugh, and this harmonious scene made Cheng Xiaoyue feel heartbroken.

At noon, Lu Huaili made braised fish, stir-fried pork with beans, stir-fried cabbage, and also steamed an egg for Niu Niu.

These dishes were considered a particularly rich treat in that era, and Lu Huaijing nodded with satisfaction.

During the meal, Lu Huaili fed Niu Niu first. The portion of food was not enough, so she planned to wait for Tang Wan and the others to eat first.

Tang Wan saw through her little thoughts and used the serving chopsticks to put some food into her bowl.

"Lili, don't just focus on feeding the child, eat a little yourself, or the food will get cold."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lu Huaili's eyes were filled with tears. Apart from her mother, her third sister-in-law was the first person to observe all this.

No wonder Third Brother likes her so much. If she were a man, she would also like such a gentle woman.

"mother……"

Niu Niu suddenly shouted "Mom", which made Lu Huaili burst into tears with excitement.

"Third brother, did you hear that? Niuniu is calling me!"

"I heard it all."

Tang Zhou smiled shyly, "Sister is really cute."

"You can't call her sister, she has to call you uncle."

Tang Wan reminded Tang Zhou with a smile, which made Tang Zhou open his mouth in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Perhaps because her smile was too dazzling, Lu Huaili couldn't help but say, "If Third Sister-in-law likes it, she and Third Brother should have a baby soon."

“No hurry, no hurry.”

Tang Wan's pretty face flushed at the teasing, and Lu Huaijing glared at Lu Huaili in annoyance.

"Stop talking nonsense, your sister-in-law is shy."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. When they were leaving, Lu Huaili wanted to see them off, but was stopped by Tang Wan.

"Don't send her off. It's not safe for Niuniu to be alone at home."

"good."

Lu Huaili's lips curled slightly, and she looked back at Cheng Xiaoyue's resentful eyes. She warned:

"My third brother and his wife are already married, and you are married too. You'd better be content."

"cut."

Cheng Xiaoyue snorted coldly, turned around and slammed the door and went into the house. If she was unhappy, no one would be happy either.

Tang Wan didn't know all this. When they returned to the courtyard, Lu Huaijing's guard Xiao Du was pacing anxiously at the door.

"Xiao Du."

Lu Huaijing frowned, thinking that something had happened to the troops, but Xiao Du glanced at Tang Wan and Tang Zhou obscurely.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Ms. Qin broke her leg while working in the brigade."
