Recalling the unbearable past, Meng Wanyue gritted her teeth, tightened her hand holding the knife, and made a silent decision.
She has worked hard for so many years, there is no way she can lose at this time.
Thinking of this, Meng Wanyue looked up at her mother-in-law who was carefully cutting sweet potatoes, and a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.
Cheng Nianhua was a soft-hearted person, and once she said a few nice words and played a sympathetic role, she couldn't bear to drive her away.
She must hold on to this mother-in-law and hold her heart tightly.
In the entire capital, there are only a handful of men who are better than Lu Huaiyan, and there are few who have a better background than him. Moreover, she has a good mother. If she marries Lu Huaiyan, at least she won’t be troubled by her parents-in-law.
After some consideration, she became more and more reluctant to leave this home.
But it was obvious that Lu Huaiyan had no interest in her. He had only taken care of her over the years for Lu Jingyuan's sake, otherwise he probably wouldn't have even glanced at her.
Moreover, Lu Huaiyan usually stayed in the army and rarely went home. Every time he was with her, he was very alert. She could not find any opportunity to do anything and could not get closer to him.
It's not a solution to keep putting it off like this.
By then, if Cheng Nianhua and Lu Huaiyan really wanted to find a partner for her, she would have even less chance.
Lu Huaiyan is now becoming more and more lazy about paying attention to her. Instead, he is particularly lax with Jiang Xiachu and gets very close to her.
Thinking that Jiang Xiachu had suddenly become a different person, she became angry.
She was originally an ordinary girl, even with a bad personality and was timid and cowardly. How could she suddenly change so much not long after leaving home?
Not only did she become prettier, but her temperament suddenly changed as well, and even she was amazed by it.
Originally, Jiang Xiachu posed no threat to her, but now, she felt particularly threatened and was always afraid that she would steal Lu Huaiyan away.
Especially since I heard that Jiang Xiachu was admitted to the art troupe, and when she joins the army, what if she and Lu Huaiyan meet often again...
Who knows, she might snatch Lu Huaiyan away one day.
The more Meng Wanyue thought about it, the angrier she became. She grabbed a long, thin sweet potato in her hand, angrily broke it into two halves, and threw them into the enamel basin.
“Bang—”
Cheng Nianhua: “…?”
After the sound, Cheng Nianhua, who was originally cutting sweet potatoes, was startled. He quickly turned his head to look at her with a puzzled look on his face, "Wanyue, what's going on?"
Did you get angry suddenly?
When Meng Wanyue heard her words, she suddenly came to her senses. After realizing what she had just done, her face suddenly froze.
"No...it's okay. I was distracted just now and didn't hold it firmly." She quickly made up an excuse to explain.
Didn't hold it firmly? With such a strong force, it doesn't look like he didn't hold it firmly.
Cheng Nianhua looked at the sweet potato in the basin that was broken into two pieces at once, and nodded without exposing Meng Wanyue, saying, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
"Mom, let me cook for lunch today. You take a good rest and I'll make some noodles." Meng Wanyue quickly put down what she was holding and changed the subject.
Although he didn't know what Meng Wanyue was thinking, Cheng Nianhua continued her words, "I just bought some pork yesterday, so let's have some shredded pork noodles for lunch."
Meng Wanyue smiled and stood up, picked up the ceramic basin in front of her and put it on the table, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."
Over the next two days, everything was normal in the Lu family, and they lived an ordinary life just like before. But for some reason, Meng Wanyue's panic had not subsided, and she couldn't even sleep well.
-
At noon, the sun was shining brightly outside.
Meng Wanyue was originally sitting in the yard basking in the sun, but the longer she sat, the more flustered she became. Finally, she decided to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.
It just so happens that some of the food at home is almost finished, so it’s time to go buy some.
She went to the street as usual, walked into the busy market, and was looking around to see which store had the freshest vegetables.
As a result, when she was choosing, she suddenly bumped into a ragged old man.
Her arm was hit hard, and a pain instantly spread throughout her body. Meng Wanyue couldn't help but gasp in pain.
She frowned in pain and turned her head suddenly. Just as she was about to say something, she met the old man's gaze.
The dirt on the old man's face almost completely covered his original appearance. His face was thin and full of wrinkles, and his eyes were cunning.
You can tell at first glance that he's not a good person.
Meng Wanyue was just about to say forget it and quickly leave this place of trouble, but the old man suddenly curled his lips in a smile and winked at her.
Then he stuffed a note into her hand.
Then, before Meng Wanyue could react, the old man ran away.
Meng Wanyue frowned and looked around. Seeing that no one noticed her, she clenched the note in her hand and quickly walked away.
She had an inexplicable ominous premonition in her heart, always feeling that the thing in her hand was a hot potato.
After walking to the side, she carefully spread out her palm and unfolded the crumpled note.
After seeing the contents of the note clearly, Meng Wanyue's face suddenly turned dark. This note was written by her biological mother Liu Zhen.
"Xiao Lin, life is really unbearable. You know, I don't have much skills, so I just want to find a way to make a living. But I don't know what happened recently, but people traffickers are being cracked down everywhere. The group I followed before has disbanded, and they won't let me work on my own."
"As soon as I showed my head, I was beaten up. Those people were really cruel. My body is still covered with bruises. It hurts so much that I can't sleep at night. I really have nowhere else to go. After thinking about it, I can only come to you. My daughter, please have pity on me."
"Mother heard that after your husband left, he gave you a pension. You live in your husband's house now. You don't have to worry about food and clothing. You live a comfortable life as a young lady. You don't need this little money. If mother hadn't helped you, would you have been so successful? Give me some money and help me."
"When I have enough money to make ends meet, maybe I can get through this period, and then I can start a new life."
"My daughter, we are mother and daughter. Although it is difficult for us to recognize each other, blood is thicker than water. You can't watch your mother starve to death on the street. If you do that, you will really become a motherless child in the future."
"I have been sorry for you in the past, but now I am really in a desperate situation. There is nothing I can do..."
“…”
Meng Wanyue read the contents of the letter and her hands were shaking with anger.
Liu Zhen is illiterate and doesn't know who wrote the letter. Who went to so much trouble just to defraud her of her pension?
She was filled with anger and tore the note in her hand into pieces.
