"I know, I will take good care of my fourth and fifth brothers. Don't worry, Mom."
Lu Yanshu lowered his eyes, turned and walked away, concealing the worry and displeasure that had been hidden in his eyes for a long time.
"My Wanwan is so cute."
Yunping brought out some old red clothes that her youngest son had found for Anwan to wear. Although the clothes were about 70% worn out, they still fit her well and made her look beautiful.
I'll buy her some pretty new clothes when I have more money later.
"Mmm." An Wan lowered her head and spoke in a soft, sweet voice. If you looked closely, you could see that her ears were red.
Because this was the first time she had been praised by a woman who was more than ten years older than her (in terms of mental age), and she had to pretend to be a child and call her "Mom," it was inevitable that she would feel shy.
She was someone who couldn't take praise, and at that moment her face turned as red as a couplet pasted on the wall.
"Wanwan, dry your hair with a towel, and I'll clean the bathroom."
Yunping held Anwan and sat her on a wooden stool, giving her a dry towel to dry her hair.
"Okay." An Wan replied sweetly, then took a towel and sat on the wooden stool to dry her short hair.
Seeing a mirror hanging on the wall, she became curious about her appearance and stepped onto a wooden stool.
Upon closer inspection—
Depend on!
It's like a ghost.
Her face was so thin it was just skin and bones, her cheeks were sunken, and she looked like a skeleton, almost like a skeletal monster.
but--
Her facial features are quite good, well-proportioned and pretty.
Especially her amber eyes, big, round, and watery.
Full of spirit, they are eyes that people will like at first glance.
It's just that it's hard for Yunping to praise her as cute.
However, Lu Yanshu's reaction was the real one.
And that cat, it doesn't mind that she's ugly, it's such a wonderful pet.
"Yunping, you bitch, get out here right now—"
"Pah! You heartless, lazy woman, you jinx! You squandered my son's money, ruined our family fortune, and even brought home a good-for-nothing who eats our food."
"Get out here! You jinx, you target practice devil!"
Suddenly, a hoarse, cursing voice rang out from outside.
Like the sound of a bellows.
Upon hearing her mother-in-law's voice, Yunping turned pale and rushed out of the bathroom.
"Oh no."
It's likely that Old Madam Lu found out about her taking An Wan in.
“Mom.” An Wan jumped off the stool and ran to Yun Ping’s side, hugging her leg.
"Wanwan is scared, Mom, don't go." She didn't want Yunping to go out and see Grandma Lu, because she was sure she would be bullied.
"Don't be afraid, Wanwan. Stay here and don't go out. Mom will take care of things outside." Yunping held her and placed her on a small stool in front of the stove so that she could warm herself by the fire.
An Wan had no choice but to nod in agreement and obediently sit on the small stool to warm herself by the fire.
But he turned back and gazed thoughtfully at Yunping's departing figure.
As expected, her staying at Yunping's house caused trouble.
This is a rural area. Yunping has a husband's family, so naturally she has a mother-in-law. Not to mention that her mother-in-law wouldn't agree to adopt her, an abandoned child, Yunping's husband might not be willing either.
Even the wealthiest and most compassionate families would likely not appreciate an abandoned child like her, who is neither pretty nor of unknown origin.
Moreover, the Lu family was extremely poor.
But……
Yunping rushed out of the house and, as soon as she reached the yard, saw her mother-in-law, Old Lady Lu, banging on the earthen wall of the yard with a broom.
The already dilapidated wall broke off at a corner after only a few knocks, and clods of dirt fell to the ground.
"Grandma, please stop!" She ran over to try to stop Grandma Lu, but was hit on the shoulder with a broom.
"ah--"
"Yunping, you bitch! You target practice devil! You made my son lose all his money, and now you've picked up some worthless trash to raise. You're truly a viper! Are you trying to kill my son?"
When Grandma Lu saw that the broom had hit Yunping, a smug smile appeared on her face. Pretending not to know that she had hit someone, she not only did not stop, but also increased the force with which she hit Yunping with the broom.
"No, I didn't! Grandma, please stop, ah—"
Yunping's frail body couldn't withstand Old Lady Lu's attacks at all. After falling to the ground, she was hit on the back again and again by Old Lady Lu's broom.
"Mother, hit her! Teach her a lesson!"
Li Xiufang, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, was cheering on Grandma Lu.
She is the eldest daughter-in-law of Old Lady Lu, and her husband is Lu Xin, who is Lu Sen's older brother.
"Don't hit my mother! You old woman, I won't allow you to bully my mother."
"Stop! Grandma, don't hit my mom—"
At this moment, Lu Zhili and Lu Yanshu, who were hiding in the house, saw Yunping being bullied through the crack in the door. They could no longer hold back and, in a fit of anger, rushed out of the house like a bull and charged straight at Old Lady Lu.
The two of them hugged her together and pushed her backward with all their might.
"oops--"
Grandma Lu couldn't dodge in time and was pushed back a few steps by the two children, bumping into Li Xiufang, who was standing behind watching the play.
As a result, Li Xiufang, who wasn't quick enough to react, was still bumped into by Old Lady Lu no matter how she tried to escape, and the two of them fell to the ground together.
"Ah—it hurts so much! You old hag, get off me!" Old Mrs. Lu pressed down on Li Xiufang, who screamed like a pig being slaughtered in pain.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! Bah! You're the old woman, Li Xiufang, how dare you insult me!"
"What else could you be but an old woman? Get off me! You old hag, ouch, you're crushing me!"
"I'll beat you to death today! Li Xiufang, you worthless slut who was born of a mother but had no father to teach her!"
Grandma Lu and Li Xiufang started cursing at each other, then grabbed each other, fought, and rolled around.
"These two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, aren't they ashamed of doing this every day? It's hilarious! Hahaha—"
