"Ahhhh—"
"Don't come any closer! I hate cats! Don't come any closer!"
"Get away from me, you dead cat—"
As soon as Grandma Lu turned around, she saw An Wan holding a black cat and approaching her. She was so frightened that she jumped up like a flea, her voice like the sound of a pig being slaughtered.
"Hahaha--"
Seeing how terrified Grandma Lu was of the cat, Lu Zhili couldn't help but clap his hands and jump up.
Suddenly, Yunping covered his mouth and hugged him. "Be good, don't talk."
In rural areas, there are many people and a lot of gossip. Even if someone is not very bright, if they make fun of their own grandmother, they will still be laughed at by outsiders for days.
They might even accuse him of being an "unfilial descendant."
"Mother, we need to get down to business." Li Xiufang saw dozens of people laughing at Old Lady Lu and herself, and she rushed over to pull Old Lady Lu away in anger.
After making such a fuss for so long, An Wan felt embarrassed to continue, and seeing that Li Xiufang also seemed unwilling to go on, she realized that the situation was not going to end.
She turned around, holding the cat, and walked to Lu Jiayan's side.
"Meow~" She deliberately stuck out her tongue and even imitated a cat's meow.
He understood her meaning instantly.
"Hmph! Go ahead and tell them." Old Mrs. Lu tried to calm herself down, but she had exhausted her strength and no longer had the energy to do that.
He used only his slanted, triangular eyes to steal a sinister look at An Wan and the black cat in her arms.
This bastard is truly bizarre.
Grandma Lu felt increasingly uneasy. These past few times, as long as that bastard was around, she was unable to deal with that bitch Yunping.
"Yunping, you hide at home every day cooking meat, stealing it for yourself, and not giving your mother-in-law a single bite. You heartless, unfilial daughter-in-law, with a heart of stone, you don't deserve to be a daughter-in-law of the Lu family! Lu Sen must divorce you and get out of here!"
Li Xiufang walked up to Yunping, pointed at her nose, and cursed her with the most offensive language in the world.
You already know?
Yunping's face turned as white as snow in an instant. She then remembered that her family had indeed been stewing meat every day for the past few days, but she had forgotten to send some meat to Old Lady Lu.
"Aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you think we eat stewed meat every day? Which eye of yours saw that? Don't make baseless accusations without evidence. If you kill someone, you'll be haunted by a vengeful spirit."
Lu Jiayan's voice was as cold as if he had entered a glacier.
He glanced at Li Xiufang with a sinister and sharp look in his eyes.
In rural areas, reputation is the most important thing.
Especially the daughter-in-law's reputation.
They must be filial, capable, earn money, and have sons.
The requirements for men are very few; as long as they don't get divorced or run away from home, that's fine.
Therefore, her mother must maintain a good reputation as Old Lady Lu's daughter-in-law, otherwise the whole village will think she is a bad daughter-in-law, and if she is pushed too hard, she will do something foolish.
In rural areas, things like this happen every few years.
“I’m telling the truth! I can smell it, it’s coming from your house. I’ll go into the kitchen and see for myself.”
Li Xiufang's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes showed fear.
She was frightened by Lu Jiayan's words "wronged spirit," because she remembered something from the past: someone had committed suicide by drowning because of a few hurtful words she had said.
An Wan held Yun Ping's hand and looked up at her. "Mom, do we have meat to eat? Isn't Aunt Hong next door stewing meat? She even gave me a piece, it was so delicious."
"Wanwan?" Yunping was a little confused by what she was saying.
An Wan flashed her little tiger teeth, smiling sweetly. "Mommy, look, Aunt Hong is here. Did she give me some meat to eat again?"
“Ah Ping, I’m here. It’s alright, I’ll help you.” Niu Ah Hong squeezed out of the crowd and rushed to Yun Ping.
She was working in the vegetable garden, which was a bit far from the Lu family's house, so she only heard the commotion and came to help when things got so big.
"Thank you, Ah Hong." Yunping was very grateful to her kind-hearted friend.
As the daughter-in-law, she really couldn't bring herself to argue with Old Mrs. Lu.
