"I should be the one thanking you, Auntie. How can I let you thank me?" Qian Xiaomei was embarrassed by Lu's mother's thanks.

"We are neighbors, so we should get along harmoniously. Isn't it said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor? If there is any problem in the future, we can talk. It is not easy for us to gather together from all over the place." Mother Lu sat there and said with a sigh: "If there is a problem, and the neighbors don't help, what will this family do?"

"What Auntie said is right. If something happens at home and our neighbors don't help, we will be really worried." When Qian Xiaomei heard what Mother Lu said, she nodded in agreement.

"It depends on the neighbors. Some people won't lend you a piece of honeycomb coal even if you ask them to. It's useless to be friends with such neighbors." After hearing Qian Xiaomei's words, Lin Chunhua came out and said

"You don't have to talk about this here. Honeycomb coal belongs to my family. I can lend it to anyone I want. If you don't want to lend it to anyone, then don't lend it to me. You don't have to bring it up all the time." Seeing Lin Chunhua bring it up again, Qian Xiaomei retorted without any hesitation.

"I just told you that you are stingy. When I offered you a piece of unburned honeycomb coal in exchange for a piece of burned honeycomb coal from your house, you refused to exchange it. I dare not get along with a neighbor like you." Lin Chunhua snorted with her arms crossed.

"You talk as if I am willing to get along with you. From now on, we should not use each other in our family." Seeing her like that, Qian Xiaomei curled her lips and said

"Okay, what are you two doing? We are neighbors living together, so let's talk it out. Don't be so decisive. What will we do if we need your help in the future?" Mother Lu interrupted as she watched the two of them bickering.

"I can't use her family. They won't even exchange a piece of honeycomb coal for it. Even if you get along with them, what good can you get out of it?" Lin Chunhua always remembered this incident, so every time she saw Qian Xiaomei, she felt very annoyed.

"You don't need my house. Ha, since you don't need my house, then don't follow me around and let the elder sister teach your child to read." Seeing that Lin Chunhua was still talking, Qian Xiaomei stood up and said, "Don't think I don't know. When I was talking to the elder sister just now, you were eavesdropping in the room. When you saw that the elder sister agreed to me, you came out. You are a person who is willing to take advantage of small things."

"I just eavesdropped, so what? Since the elder sister agreed to teach your child, then I said, she also agreed to my family, if I want to take advantage, it is the elder sister, how can I take advantage of you?" Lin Chunhua was so angry that she laughed when she heard this.

"What are you teaching?" Zhou Xiaocao heard the two quarreling in the room, and came out with the intention of watching the fun. When she heard them talking about teaching something, she interrupted them and asked

"Captain Gu's wife promised to teach our two children to read, and Qian Xiaomei said that I was taking advantage of her. What advantage did I take from her? Tell me." After hearing Zhou Xiaocao's question, Lin Chunhua said it without thinking.

"It's free to teach children to read, isn't it?" Zhou Xiaocao rolled her eyes when she heard this, then looked at the others and asked

"Yes, it's free. If it cost money, I wouldn't let her teach me." Lin Chunhua's face changed immediately after she finished speaking. She turned her head and looked at Lu's mother who was sitting on the side with a gloomy face. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain.

When Mother Lu heard what Lin Chunhua said, her face turned red with anger. When Lin Chunhua looked at her and wanted to say something, she said without waiting for her to speak, "Okay, since you said so, your child doesn't need to come when my daughter is teaching her to read. Even if he wants to come, I will chase him away."

"Auntie, that's not what I meant. I was just talking to Zhou Xiaocao and the conversation got to that point. You can't stop your eldest sister from teaching my child to read." When Lin Chunhua heard that Lu's mother didn't want Lu Qingyan to teach her child to read, her face turned pale. She ran forward and grabbed Lu's mother's arm and begged.

"Don't beg me here. My daughter taught your child to read for free. It's fine if you're not grateful, but you actually said such things. Do you think our family is easy to bully?" Mother Lu stood up and shook her hand off. She sneered and said, "It's just like what my little sister said. You really are someone who is willing to take advantage of others."

"Auntie, I really don't mean that. Please listen to me." When Lin Chunhua heard what Lu's mother said, she reached out and grabbed Lu's mother's arm again, wanting to explain something.

"Don't tell me." Mother Lu didn't want to say anything here. She picked up the stool and looked at Qian Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, when my daughter wants to learn, I will go to your house to tell her. Don't bring outsiders to my house then."

"Oh, Auntie, I understand." When Qian Xiaomei heard this, she immediately agreed loudly.

"Auntie, Auntie, please listen to me." Seeing that Lu's mother had returned home, Lin Chunhua stood at her door and knocked on the door and shouted.

"I was saying that some people just like to take advantage of others. Look, they didn't get any advantage this time." Seeing her like this, Qian Xiaomei snorted coldly, picked up a small stool and called her mother-in-law to go back to the house.

"Tell me, what are you doing here at this time? If you hadn't come out, my family's problem would have been a done deal." After hearing what Qian Xiaomei said, Lin Chunhua looked at Zhou Xiaocao angrily and said

"Why are you blaming me? I didn't ask you to say those things." Zhou Xiaocao was scolded for no reason and didn't want to do it anymore. She rolled her eyes and retorted: "It's you who wants to take advantage, not me. Why do you say I'm wrong?"

"If you hadn't come out and said these words suddenly, would I have been able to finish my words and tell them to others?" Lin Chunhua was really choked up. After glancing at Zhou Xiaocao, she looked at the door of Gu's house.

She thought to herself that after her husband came back, she would ask him to ask Captain Gu for help. Maybe the situation could be turned around.

After he figured it out, he went back to the house without even looking at Zhou Xiaocao.

"What kind of people are these? They keep complaining all day long." Zhou Xiaocao watched the man enter the house, spit on the ground, and went upstairs to chat.

"What's wrong with you?" Father Lu just woke up and saw the old woman sitting on the bench angrily. He frowned and asked

"It's still Lin Chunhua. I thought that child was pretty good at first, but who knew she would be this kind of person now." Mother Lu patted her chest and said, "Our daughter agreed to teach her child to read, but she said she came because we don't charge money. If we charge money, she won't come to our house."

"Listen, what is she saying?" Mother Lu was so angry when she thought of what she said.

"Then just tell her you won't teach her anymore. Why are you getting so angry? It's not worth it if you get yourself hurt by the anger." Father Lu felt that his wife loved to get angry. It was not worth it at all for her to get so angry over such a small matter.
