Su Lixuan changed the subject and started talking to Sheng Yan about family matters.
"I'm planning to take my mother-in-law to the hospital for a checkup soon. Her blood pressure is a little high, so I need to prescribe some blood pressure-lowering medicine for her to keep on hand."
She emphasized: "It's better to be prepared."
Sheng Yan's expression showed that she had obviously heard it. After eating the steamed bun, Su Lixuan said goodbye to her.
This was all she could say; saying more would seem strange.
In the original book, Sheng Yan's father had a heart attack and had no medicine with him, so he died due to lack of timely rescue.
Sheng Yan's tragic fate also started from the death of her father and continued to become more miserable.
It's just a reminder, Su Lixuan won't be stingy at all.
It's probably due to the prevailing trend.
There are many "good people" like Su Lixuan in the slum where she lives.
While Su Lixuan was reminding Sheng Yan, there were also some good people in the compound waiting to remind Lu Dahai...
Last night, after Lu Dahai finished drinking and realized what his wife and son were planning, he deliberately went to bed and slept soundly.
He will avoid responsibility.
Before going to bed, it was as if he had given himself a psychological hint that no matter how loud the noise his son made, he must not wake up, because once he woke up, he would feel guilty.
It would be better if he fell into a deep sleep. The next morning the matter was already a foregone conclusion. He could make the excuse that he drank too much last night and not only would he feel guilty about it, but he could also pretend to be a good person and comfort his future daughter-in-law.
This is Lu Dahai's consistent principle in dealing with people, so that in the Lu family's hearts, his status and image are much higher than Zhang Guifang.
Lu Dahai came out of the house yawning, thinking for a while how to face his future daughter-in-law.
He must pretend to be ignorant at first. If the little girl complained to him, he would have to call his son over and give him a good beating.
With him playing the good guy and upholding justice by beating his son, and Zhang Guifang playing the good guy and threatening him a few times, the little girl, who was thin-skinned, probably accepted what was forced upon her last night.
He thought it through carefully and even calculated how much dowry he should give to the Sheng family when he went to the public toilet.
Since the matter of the two children is a foregone conclusion, no matter how well-off the Sheng family is, they can no longer look down on his family.
The status is reversed, and now the Sheng family is afraid that his family will not recognize and marry Sheng Yan...
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Dahai felt that the look in the eyes of passers-by when looking at him seemed a little strange.
Thinking that his son might have lost control last night and made too much noise, his old face turned red and he smiled at someone he knew who was passing by.
But he didn't expect that his smile would scare the other person so much.
Visible terror.
The old man usually had poor legs and feet, and walked slower than anyone else. But with the old man's smile, his feet seemed to be on hot wheels.
He walked so fast that he disappeared in a moment.
Lu Dahai was puzzled and pulled over an acquaintance to ask, "What's wrong with Old Chaitou? How come his legs and feet are suddenly so good?"
The old neighbor he pulled over scratched his nose and laughed: "Maybe I've been wearing too many plasters lately."
Lu Dahai is smart. When he sees the other person talking, his eyes are rolling around, as if he wants to say something but stops himself.
He knew there must be something wrong here.
Or something he didn't know! "Tell me the truth, what's going on?"
If it was just because his son made too much noise last night, it would be impossible for the people he met along the way to treat him like this.
Take the person in front of him for example. He is the one who can usually chat with him the most, but now he has become mute in front of him.
It's so abnormal. If he still hasn't hidden it from him, Lu Dahai would have to tear his head off and let that old man kick it like a ball.
"Chengzi, tell me the truth, what happened?"
"Brother..." The middle-aged man who had just pretended to be mute looked around with an embarrassed expression, "Did no one tell you what happened in your family last night?"
Pulling Lu Dahai to a secluded place, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Dahai: "Come on, brother, let me tell you about your family affairs."
"You'll have a rough idea of what's going on, and you won't have to ask everyone one by one... Oh, what a shame!"
Why is it embarrassing?
Lu Dahai's hands were shaking as he took the cigarette.
He knew his brother's character. If his younger son had succeeded last night, even if the incident became serious, his brother would have to wink at him and praise his younger son's ability behind his back.
Maybe they would even have to congratulate him and say that his youngest son's marriage to a wealthy family was a foregone conclusion.
So what happened?
How could it be completely different from what he expected? Not only was there no knowing look, nor a single kind word, but he was suddenly told "shame on you".
Lu Dahai: "What's embarrassing? Who is embarrassing?"
The man patted him and lowered his voice: "Who else could be embarrassed? Of course it's your wife. Hey, don't be angry first, listen to me slowly. I originally wanted to come to you this morning to comfort you..."
The two of them didn't talk for long, just the time it took to smoke two cigarettes.
But Lu Dahai squatted there alone until more than two hours passed before he barely regained his strength. He stood up with the help of the wall and stomped his numb feet.
He walked home hunched over little by little.
He kept his head down all the way, and even if someone greeted him, he would just nod casually. Lu Dahai didn't even have the mood or the face to look up to see who was greeting him.
Those who passed by and knew the inside story exchanged glances, and everything was said without words...
…
Calculating the time when the breakfast shop would be closed after it was sold out, Su Lixuan took the remaining steamed bread to pick up her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and Lu Wanqin walked home talking and laughing all the way.
Inevitably, they talked about the farce that happened in the Lu family last night.
But what Lu Wanqin wanted to talk about was not the Lu family, but...
Lu Wanqin: "My daughter-in-law also went to watch the fun last night. Do you know what she said to me when she came back?"
Su Lixuan shook her head.
Lu Wanqin laughed angrily, "She told me to find a place to move out before my son comes back from his business trip."
"It's said that a mother living with her son is laughed at, and the Lu family is a good example."
When Li Yanhong heard this, her good mood suddenly turned into a shattered mood.
Furious, she raised her voice unconsciously: "She asked you to move out? While you were working so hard to raise your son here, she didn't even know where she was standing!"
"Now that I've finally made it through, I haven't even had a few days to enjoy the good life, and I haven't even seen my son's filial piety. Instead, I have to drag my old bones to make room for them?"
How can this be possible? Li Yanhong became angrier and angrier as she spoke.
Even killing the donkey after it has done its work is not so cruel.
Li Yanhong: "She's just taking advantage of the situation! The Lu family is an example. She's just using the Lu family's affairs to drive you out!"
Ironically, Lu Wanqin's daughter-in-law can tolerate a bunch of mice in her house, but cannot tolerate an old woman in her house.
