Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Jiang Wanying, who was sitting next to the fire, pretended to be asleep.
"How come this child fell asleep here?" Xu Hongping saw the person sitting on the small stool as soon as she entered the kitchen. She walked over and gently patted her shoulder, "Yingying, wake up quickly. If you want to sleep, let's go back to the room."
"Wife, she has heated up the food for us." Behind him, Jiang Dongfang opened the lid of the pot, and the food inside was still steaming.
Jiang Wanying opened her eyes slightly and said dazedly, "Aunt, you're back!"
Xu Hongping said, "We came back late because of something tonight. Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, and I have to go into town soon."
"Ah? You're going into town?"
Jiang Wanying made an excuse: "I want to buy a few books from the bookstore in the city. Don't worry, my third uncle told Uncle Lu before he left today. He also wants to go to the city, so he will give me a ride."
"Xiao Lu is with you! Then I feel relieved."
Xu Hongping looked like she trusted Lu Yanchuan very much. Jiang Wanying was puzzled. What did Lu Yanchuan do after getting drunk last night to cause such a drastic change in the attitudes of the elders?
You have to know that although her aunt seems to be easy to get along with, there are actually very few people she can trust.
"If the old man and the others go back to the army, where will Xiao Lu live?" Jiang Dongfang took out all the dishes in the pot, filled his bowl with rice, and sat by the fire to eat.
Jiang Wanying moved aside and asked, "Isn't he Fang Jiaxing's uncle? How could he have no place to live?"
Originally, Jiang Xicheng wanted Lu Yanchuan to continue living in his house, but was rejected.
"That's true, but I heard that Xiao Lu's relationship with the Fang family is ordinary. If your uncle hadn't dragged him back this time, he wouldn't have planned to come."
Xu Hongping poured a bowl of egg soup and handed it to Jiang Wanying, "Why did you beat the egg soup? Those eggs are for you to eat."
"I don't want to eat alone!" Jiang Wanying didn't respond. "Aunt, you drink it. I'm still full now."
Seeing this, Xu Hongping gave up and did not force her. She felt very relieved. If her younger sister was still young, she would definitely be happy to see Yingying being so sensible.
"Let Xiao Lu come and live with us. We have an empty room at home. He can live in Old Four's room." Xu Hongping suggested.
Jiang Wanying almost asked if Lu Yanchuan had drugged them, but her uncle just said something unkind, "Forget about living at home. It's not convenient for Yingying, a girl."
Hearing this, Xu Hongping also felt that it made sense and did not mention it again.
Jiang Wanying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to live under the same roof with Lu Yanchuan. That would be so suffocating!

Li Beibei stayed in her room, her hands clenched tightly together, her eyes full of hatred. Jiang Dongfang and his wife had just come to her house, and she didn't even need to eavesdrop to guess the purpose of their visit.
She absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!
It was late at night and the Xu family's house was pitch black. Li Beibei tiptoed to Xu Guoping's room and gently opened the door. The person inside was snoring loudly, sleeping like a dead pig, and didn't notice anyone coming in.
Li Beibei didn't turn on the light. She walked to the bed in the bright moonlight and stared at Xu Guoping with disgust.
She took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision, reached out and shook Xu Guoping's arm, whispering, "Brother Guoping, wake up! Wake up!"
After being shouted at several times, Xu Guoping finally responded. When he opened his eyes, he didn't see who was coming. He was so scared that he picked up the straw mat and pillow and threw it at him, "Who the hell are you?"
The pillow hit Li Beibei's face, causing her to gasp in pain. She endured the pain and quickly said, "It's me, Li Beibei."
Xu Guoping finally relaxed his guard, stood up, and lit the kerosene lamp on the table next to him. He cast a pair of lustful eyes on Li Beibei and said maliciously, "What? You figured it out and are throwing yourself into my arms so late at night?"
