When Lu Jingnian returned home that evening, Xiang Wanwan told him about what had happened during the day, but to her surprise, the man's reaction was even stronger than hers.
"Don't give her anything anymore."
“I have already written back home to ask. It turns out that her family introduced her to a boyfriend, but she didn’t like him, so she came here to work as a nurse by herself.”
"So her family didn't know about her relationship with Ning Feng, and they didn't approve of it either."
So that's how it is!
That girl is so foolish!
Most of the boyfriends introduced by Lu's elders were also from military families, and their financial situations couldn't be bad, but she turned down those good options and chose Ning Feng instead.
It's probably a rebellious streak; the more her family disagrees, the more she likes it.
"So you're not going to help me at all anymore?"
"No need. We don't need to concern ourselves with her relationship with Ning Feng; let her be!"
"Alright."
Since the other family has spoken, she, as their cousin-in-law, has no right to offer suggestions.
······
A week later, Lu Yaqin came to visit again.
"Sister-in-law, we've finished all the food from last time, and now they're not distributing supplies anymore. I've come to get some more."
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she looked around without any hesitation.
Xiang Wanwan was resting in the pavilion with Lu Yao in her arms. She didn't get up when she saw her arrive, only speaking softly:
"Yaqin, it's not that your sister-in-law is unwilling to give it to you, it's just that your family wrote a letter saying that they are not allowed to give you anything and that you have to find your own way to live."
“Last time you took those things, your cousin scolded me that night, so I’m afraid I can’t give them to you today.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yaqin's face immediately fell.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to treat me the same way they treat me?"
I don't think she's being mistreating me!
She's an adult; even if she doesn't take anything from their house, she should be able to find a way to get food herself!
Besides, she's a nurse, a secure job with a monthly salary.
Although the salary isn't as high as that of a soldier, it's still a dozen or so yuan a month, and now trading has been allowed on the island.
Many families have extra vegetables, which they take to the market to sell.
She and Ning Feng could easily buy it with money!
"Yaqin, since I promised your brother, I won't give you anything. Go back!"
“You have a monthly salary, and you can buy whatever you want to eat from the people in the family compound. It will definitely be enough for the two of you.”
Lu Yaqin quickly walked up to her and shouted, "That's not enough!"
Her voice was loud, and Lu Yao, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly jerked and then burst into tears.
Babies a few months old are easily startled.
Xiang Wanwan immediately picked up Lu Yao and stood up to comfort her, saying, "Baby, don't cry, Mommy's here!"
She kept patting her daughter's bottom and coaxing her softly.
When Wu Ma heard the child crying, she immediately came out of the house to greet him and took the child inside to comfort him.
After they entered the house, Xiang Wanwan looked at Lu Yaqin with a sharp gaze.
She used to give her some face out of respect for Lu Jingnian and the Lu family, but now she's throwing a tantrum at her house, scaring Lu Yao into tears.
Lu Yaqin knew she had gotten into trouble and felt a little guilty. She lowered her head slightly and apologized softly, "Sister-in-law, it was my fault!"
"I shouldn't have raised my voice so loudly! I was just in a hurry..."
"Cousin, go back home! You won't be taking anything from my house anymore!"
"It's your business if you're willing to let Ning Feng live off you. Your family doesn't care about you, so it's none of my business! You'd better not come to my house again, lest you scare the child again."
Xiang Wanwan was already angry, so she spoke rudely.
When had Lu Yaqin ever suffered such humiliation? She raised her voice: "What do you mean 'your house'? This is my cousin's house! My cousin's things are my things, why can't I take them?"
