Wu Wenlan was also not very happy.
She dressed up carefully today, wearing earrings, a necklace, and a ring, as if she wanted to wear everything on her body.
She carefully combed her hair, wore a newly bought cotton coat, and high-heeled cotton boots, which gave her a certain presence.
But she was just a second wife of a deputy factory director. Her husband's factory wasn't doing well, so she didn't get much real benefit from it.
It's nowhere near as prestigious as being an official's wife.
Wu Wenlan was afraid of being laughed at by the Luo family when she visited them this time. She thought to herself that she had abandoned her man and followed a deputy factory director, but ended up like this.
“How am I shameless? Luo Bin is your Luo family’s grandson. He’s getting married. Shouldn’t your Luo family do something to show their support? His work unit didn’t allocate any housing for him. He has nowhere to live after his wedding. He can’t possibly live on the street with his wife and kids, can he? I don’t care. Anyway, you have to give him a house and money. Your Luo family only has this one grandson. You have to show some respect.”
Wu Wenlan had a very clever plan.
The man she later found also had an ex-wife and children, but Wu Wenlan was a shrew who wouldn't allow the man to give his ex-wife and children a single penny, nor would she allow him to visit them. The man's ex-wife and children were living a miserable life, and all the money was spent on Luo Bin.
He was hoping Luo Bin would support him in his old age.
This time, when the factory was allocating housing, the men used their connections, and Luo Bin was able to get a small apartment. But just then, Wu Wenlan heard some news that Luo Kangcheng had already woken up, and not only that, he had been transferred to Beijing to become the director of a district bureau.
Wu Wenlan was very politically astute and knew what being transferred to Beijing meant. In previous years, in order to prevent the Luo family from relying on her, she was asked to take care of Luo Kangcheng and the Luo family elders. She dared not get involved with the Luo family at all and never listened to any news about them.
When Wu Wenlan learned the news, Luo Kangcheng had already been awake for over a year, and she was filled with remorse.
That's why she couldn't sit still any longer and went to the Luo family in person to demand an explanation.
Grandpa Luo frowned. These days, factories usually provide housing. It's impossible for Luo Bin's workplace not to provide housing. Even if they don't provide it now, he can wait and see.
Besides, distant water can't quench immediate thirst. Even if Luo Bin gets the house in Beijing, he can't use it as a wedding home.
What does it mean that Wu Wenlan is now coming to our door demanding the house?
"Lan, we will give Luo Bin every penny he owes, but what do you mean by coming to make trouble now? When Kang Cheng was in bed, you were never around."
Wu Wenlan didn't care about any of that. "Old man, I'll get straight to the point. I don't believe a word you say unless you sign a written agreement leaving everything under your names to Luo Bin. After you die, Luo Bin will be your heir."
Grandpa Luo was stunned.
He's not even dead yet, and he's already making an inheritance?
Besides, why should they be led by the nose by this woman?
It wasn't that Grandpa Luo was heartbroken over the small amount of money; he just felt that a person should have some backbone.
Grandpa Luo waved his hand dismissively, ignoring her completely.
Wu Wenlan became anxious and stared intently at Grandma Zeng.
"What do you mean? That's your only grandson."
Grandma had no idea what she was up to.
Grandma Zeng frowned and said:
"Lan, it's not that we don't want to agree, it's just that your request is too unreasonable. You've been nowhere to be seen for years, you won't even let us see the children, and now you suddenly come to our door asking for a house and money. Would you agree to that?"
"Why are you spouting all this nonsense? I think you're just trying to delay paying me. Luo Kangcheng holds a high position, right? Aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble at his workplace? Anyway, I'm telling you this: if you don't agree to my demands, none of you will have a good time!"
Grandpa Luo was furious and picked up a broom to chase them away.
"Get out! You're not welcome in our home, get out!"
The elderly couple kicked Wu Wenlan out.
The old couple were quite angry. Shu Hui poured them a glass of water. Chu Yu leaned out the window and looked out. Wu Wenlan looked very angry and didn't seem like she would let it go.
Grandpa Luo felt ashamed. He had been an upright man all his life, and he and his great-grandmother were both old revolutionaries who had devoted themselves to the country. His son was also a hard worker, and the whole family were good people. How could they have ended up with a daughter-in-law like Wu Wenlan?
Wu Wenlan comes from a good family; both her parents are intellectuals. Unfortunately, she is short-sighted and always puts her own interests first.
Another sophisticated egoist.
She wished the whole world would revolve around her.
"She wasn't this unreasonable before. How did she turn into a shrew after all these years?" Old Master Luo muttered, feeling that Shu Hui had made a fool of herself by recounting the family's past. However, the old couple were both people who had seen a lot in life. Grandma said that Shu Hui should stay for dinner, and after this incident, they couldn't let Shu Hui go back on an empty stomach.
She went to buy meat, and Shu Hui couldn't refuse, so she had to cook with her.
When Luo Kangcheng returned at noon, he was carrying a leather bag. Smelling the delicious aroma from the kitchen, he stood at the kitchen doorway and smiled.
"Mom, your cooking skills have improved so much! You're in your sixties or seventies, and your cooking is getting better and better. This braised pork smells so good, I could smell it from far away."
Luo Kangcheng turned his back to wash his hands. He glanced inside and saw that the person was wearing his mother's apron, and he immediately recognized her as his mother.
When Grandma Zeng came out, Luo Kangcheng paused for a moment and turned to look at the kitchen.
Shu Hui came out with a flushed face, somewhat embarrassed. "Comrade Luo, Chu Yutian and I came to visit Uncle Luo and Aunt Zeng. They invited us to stay for dinner."
Luo Kangcheng came to his senses and realized that he had made a blunder.
"Oh, you're here. My dad was talking about Chu Yu yesterday, saying he hadn't seen her in a long time and wondered how she was doing."
