Su Ying saw that Li Xiumei was pregnant with a big belly, but she looked very energetic. However, she was already tired after a whole day, so it was better not to ask her to help. It was not good for her to stand for so long with a big belly.
"Mrs. Li, stop struggling. Get some rest tonight. Just wait for dinner tomorrow."
"My family doesn't lack food. I just want to help you. I'm happy that you're getting married."
Li Xiumei has lived in this compound for quite a long time. She had disliked Jiang Rumeng before. She was a pretentious person. If she really liked Lu Dongsheng, she should have confessed to him earlier. Maybe she still had a chance.
But it's too late now.
She had spent a relatively short time with Su Ying, but this girl was quite enthusiastic towards the children in the yard. She would give them candies every now and then, and she was also happy to see other people in the yard.
But Jiang Rumeng always walks with his nose sideways.
Soon Lu Dongsheng came back. Li Xiumei saw him holding a lunch box and said with a smile, "Then you two can eat first. I will come to help you clean up later."
Su Ying caught up with him and said, "Mrs. Li, wait a minute. Why are you in such a hurry? I'll get some candy for the child."
...
...
Li Xiumei walked quickly and had already left the yard. Su Ying was standing at the door, grinning.
Lu Dongsheng saw a plate of dumplings on the table. They were wrapped quite well. He smiled and said, "You know what, Sister Li is really a virtuous person. These dumplings are wrapped really well."
Su Ying pursed her lips: "You mean I'm not a virtuous person?"
"You have me by your side, you don't have to be virtuous, you just need to do what you want to do, come and have dinner."
This afternoon, he has told this matter to everyone he is close to.
Jiang Ruyan's family was also having dinner at this time. At the dinner table, Li Qiang said, "Tomorrow Lu Dongsheng and his wife will hold a banquet at home and invite us to go.
I have a good relationship with him, so I'll give him a two-dollar gift."
Jiang Rumeng was instantly displeased when she heard this. If they were going to get married, then they were going to get married. Why were they holding the wedding banquet now? Did he really want to hold the wedding banquet, or did he want to tell her to give up on this idea?
Even if they got married, Jiang Rumeng was still unwilling.
She should have told Lu Dongsheng her feelings earlier, so as not to let that bitch Su Ying get the advantage.
Jiang Ruyan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, other people's weddings give a pair of pillowcases or an enamel basin, but you guys are so close, so just take two dollars."
The couple's house has been tidied up, so it seems a bit redundant to buy these things now, so it's better to use the money.
Jiang Rumeng muttered, "Isn't two dollars a bit too much?"
Jiang Ruyan rolled her eyes at Jiang Rumeng.
"Your brother-in-law and I made this decision for a reason. Don't get involved in this matter. Don't go tomorrow."
Jiang Ruyan was afraid that her sister would talk nonsense when she went there. She was narrow-minded and still had Lu Dongsheng in her heart. Everyone with eyesight in the compound knew about this. She was afraid that her sister would say something she shouldn't say tomorrow.
Jiang Rumeng was displeased and protested quietly: "Why? I have known Brother Lu for a long time, and I want to go too."
"Then don't talk nonsense when you get there. Think carefully about what I told you the other day. Just live at home from now on. It's inconvenient for you to commute to get off work here."
Jiang Ruyan had already told her younger sister about this matter once, but she resisted with silence, and sometimes Jiang Ruyan was helpless with her.
Li Qiang felt that his wife was right, so he remained silent.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little strange. Jiang Ruyan said, "Then I'll go over after I finish eating to see if there's anything I can help with."
Li Qiang coughed and said, "Okay."
Su Ying ate a few dumplings and a few mouthfuls of rice. When the couple was about to pack up, Jiang Ruyan and Xia Xiaohe came over.
Su Ying was a little surprised to see Xia Xiaohe.
She usually dislikes me, so why is she here to help?
When the two came in, Jiang Ruyan smiled and said, "My husband said you guys are going to treat everyone to a meal tomorrow, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with."
Guests are welcome, and one should not slap a smiling person in the face. Since Xia Xiaohe can swallow her pride, Su Ying can naturally accept it.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, sisters-in-law. We were just about to wash and cut the vegetables."
Xia Xiaohe smiled and said, "We came at the perfect time. Do you have any extra kitchen knives and cutting boards at home?"
“I don’t have that.”
Xia Xiaohe acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Then I'll go get ours."
Jiang Ruyan smiled and said, "Let me wash and pick the vegetables."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"It's okay. We all live in the same courtyard. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If you need help, my family will need your help in any problems in the future."
"Okay."
Soon, Li Xiumei also came, her butt following Jiang Rumeng.
Su Ying wasn't actually very welcoming, but she still smiled politely.
The kitchen became lively. Su Ying pulled Lu Dongsheng aside and whispered, "Did you invite Shen Qingshan?"
Lu Dongsheng also lowered his voice and said, "I told you, if she wants to help, then let her help. You should relax."
"Then why is Jiang Rumeng here too?"
"How would I know? We can't just push people out when they come."
Su Ying slapped him lightly on the arm and warned him with her eyes: "If you dare to fall in love with another woman in the future, you will be dead."
Su Ying left this sentence and turned to go into the kitchen to help.
Jiang Rumeng had a sullen face and felt extremely miserable. She squatted at the kitchen door, looking outside from time to time, but there was no sign of Lu Dongsheng.
He was visiting some friends now and told them to help move a few tables when they came tomorrow morning.
In the kitchen, Xia Xiaohe deliberately said: "Oh, sister Su Ying, you should have just come to the compound to hold a banquet, it's so lively.
You just cleaned up your house, you two don't have any children yet, and Captain Lu is a very clean person. The house looks clean, but it's not festive. There's not a single word of "happy" on it. If someone doesn't know, they might think you did something wrong."
Li Xiumei was not happy to hear this and she glared at him and retorted.
"What do you mean by that? They have already held a banquet in their hometown. Captain Lu also wants to openly tell everyone at tomorrow's banquet that Sister Su Ying is his wife, so as to avoid some ignorant people talking nonsense behind her back."
Xia Xiaohe found this unpleasant and sneered, then chopped the kitchen knife in her hand on the chopping board.
"It's not Li Xiumei. What do you mean by that? Are you talking about me in a roundabout way?"
"Did I mention you? Did I mention you by name? You are really interesting."
Xia Xiaohe took a step forward, her face turning blue with anger. Jiang Ruyan knew her bad temper and was afraid that the two would quarrel, so she quickly said, "We are here to help, not to quarrel. You are both outspoken people, and Sister Li didn't say anything. Since we are here to help, let's be happy."
Xia Xiaohe finally held back. Jiang Rumeng, who was squatting on the side picking vegetables, angrily broke the celery in her hand into two halves.
This is clearly talking about her.
This bitch looks like a fat pig and gives birth to babies like a rabbit.
It would be best if such a person died in the womb.
