Zhang Juan was talking so enthusiastically that she didn't notice the stares that were fixed on her.
"Brother, let me make this clear first, I won't get involved in this, but I also won't inform on you." Lu Ya stated her position clearly.
Lu Ya was trying every means to accumulate more family assets, but she was also a mother.
Not to mention that when she was pregnant with Xia Wang from their family, she was tricked and almost lost the baby.
Although the child survived by sheer luck, her body was still injured, which caused Xia Wangniang to suffer from malnutrition in the womb and be sickly after birth.
After speaking, Lu Ya looked at her older brother, who had doted on her since childhood.
Brother, is that what you think too?
But in my memory, my older brother was definitely not like this.
He loved her and her younger brother very much, but after they got married, their father continued to favor his younger brother and even kicked them both out of the house. That's when they couldn't take it anymore.
Lu Ya's unfamiliar and frightened gaze was caught by Lu Yuanzhou.
His expression darkened slightly.
Lu Yuanzhou is a man of few words; he appears honest and composed, but he is not very magnanimous and is only good at using others as pawns.
Zhang Juan's mouth sometimes made Lu Yuanzhou feel good, as it could speak for him and say things he couldn't say himself, but at other times he wished he could sew her unbridled, foul mouth shut.
That's how it is right now.
It's fine to keep these thoughts to yourself; who would dare to shout them out loud?
*Smack*
Lu Yuanzhou stood up and slapped Zhang Juan.
"What nonsense are you spouting? That's your own nephew's flesh and blood!"
"Get inside and reflect on your actions!"
"Phew." Lu Ya breathed a sigh of relief.
Fighting over family property is one thing, but we're still family, and there are some things we can't do.
Thankfully, my older brother is still the same older brother he always was!
Zhang Juan was stunned by the beating.
The dense, aching pain on her face reminded her every second of the fact that Lu Yuanzhou had slapped her in front of her sister-in-law. The rationality she had maintained all night, fueled by her injustice, was also shattered by the shock.
"Lu Yuanzhou!"
She also stood up. Although she only reached Lu Yuanzhou's chest and her aura was significantly weaker, her angry face managed to suppress this disadvantage.
"You hit me? You dare hit me!"
"I'm done living like this! I'm done! I'm going to divorce you!"
Whoosh!
Zhang Juan overturned everything on the desk in the study, and walked out with an air of indifference, without looking back.
Seeing this, Lu Ya couldn't help but sneer, "Big brother, you should also control your sister-in-law. What kind of temper is she? Who owes her anything? She's a mother of three herself, how can she be so vicious?"
Xia Lin tugged at Lu Ya, signaling her to stop talking, then turned to Lu Yuanzhou, whose face was extremely pale, and said, "Brother, it's getting late, Aya and I will head back now."
Once the two left, Lu Yuanzhou stopped pretending and, furious, kicked over the table.
A dozen minutes later, Lu Yuanzhou, having vented his anger, returned to his composed demeanor.
He turned and went back to his room, sat on the edge of the bed, patted Zhang Juan on the shoulder, and spoke with unusual gentleness.
"Juanzi, are you still angry?"
Zhang Juan was still angry, so she turned over and faced away from Lu Yuanzhou.
Lu Yuanzhou frowned and sighed, "Juanzi, I always thought you understood me, but I never expected that you wouldn't understand me either."
"If that's the case, then you want a divorce, so let's get one!"
Zhang Juan was just saying it casually. At her age, with three children, two of whom are married and already married, she's old enough to be a grandmother. Why would she get a divorce? If word got out, wouldn't she become a laughingstock?
She sat bolt upright: "Lu Yuanzhou!"
"You slapped me!"
Zhang Juan's eyes were red, clearly she had just been crying.
Lu Yuanzhou remained unmoved: "Juanzi, don't you have any idea what you should and shouldn't say? Are you out of your mind to say such things?"
Zhang Juan complained, "Am I doing this for myself? Aren't I doing it for this family, for you three? Besides, you siblings are as close as brothers, what can't we talk about?"
“It’s true that Lu Ya is my sister, but she’s always been a distance from us. If she believes this, and then something happens to the Huai’an wife, and she tells Dad, will you still get a share of the family property? We’ll be lucky if our family isn’t kicked out of the house.”
Startled by Lu Yuanzhou's words, Zhang Juan forgot all about feeling wronged.
"Then what should we do? I've already said what I wanted to say. How about we call my sister-in-law over again, and you can slap me twice more?"
Lu Yuanzhou: "..."
"Alright, I have my own arrangements for this, you don't need to worry about it."
"So you're really just going to ignore it? Just let her give birth?"
“Eldest daughter, it’s not that she can’t have children. You should take her to see her in Huai’an tomorrow and see if she’s really capable or if she’s pregnant.”
"if……"
"If what?"
Lu Yuanzhou was worried about Zhang Juan, so he didn't explain things too clearly.
"Let's see how it goes first."
...
"Tangtang".
"Stay away from me, I need to practice my boxing."
"Tangtang, last night—"
You still dare to mention last night?
Su Wantang glared at Lu Huai'an.
"Shut up!"
Lu Huai'an genuinely didn't understand why Su Wantang suddenly turned on him; just a moment ago, they were being intimate and affectionate.
The awkwardness between the two was noticeable even to Wen Wanqing, who is usually oblivious.
certainly.
Wen Wanqing did not suspect that her daughter-in-law, Su Wantang, had any problems.
This must be her son acting up again.
Wan Tang has already come into the house on her own initiative, so why is she still throwing a tantrum?
As soon as they finished eating, Wen Wanqing, with a stern face, called Lu Huai'an into the house.
Upon seeing Wen Wanqing, a thought flashed through Lu Huai'an's mind.
