The Bai family's affairs are in complete chaos. Bai Jiamei has never returned home since she ran away, and Chen Hongxia is constantly questioned by Bai Xiangdong whenever she goes out.
The strange looks from outsiders made Bai Xiangdong, this cuckolded cuckold, almost want to stay at home; he was paranoid every day.
Whenever Chen Hongxia left home, people suspected she was going to see Zhou Qi.
Bai Jiahe didn't care; he just hoped they would leave quickly and make room for him.
Li Mei, however, did not give up easily. She would often stake out outside the Bai family's house, and would start a fight with Chen Hongxia whenever she saw her come out.
Sometimes, even when Chen Hongxia stayed at home and didn't go out, she would stand outside and make veiled insults.
During this period, the people in the staff dormitory didn't need any side dishes for their evening meals. They would just talk about the affairs of the Bai and Zhou families while eating, which added a lot of laughter to their originally peaceful lives.
Everyone remarked that the past six months had been more eventful than the previous decades combined.
Many people have already set their sights on Zhou Qi, and have even prepared their reports, just waiting for the right opportunity.
Lu Weiguo felt utterly humiliated. Bai Rongjun's actions at the old house had already drawn a lot of mocking glances from outside.
After Chen Hongxia's incident came to light, everyone's gaze became even more meaningful, and he forbade his wife to have any further contact with the Bai family.
"If you dare to have even the slightest connection with the Bai family again, I'll divorce you!"
The Lu family had a minor argument every three days and a major argument every five days, so He Shuyue gradually stopped daring to provoke Lu Weiguo.
Bai Rongjun, who had been waiting anxiously to see He Shuyue for so long, finally went out. The Bai family was in a state of chaos. She begged Aunt He for help, hoping to find warmth from her.
Unfortunately, before they could even exchange two words, Lu Weiguo stood a short distance away with a livid face, like a gatekeeper.
He Shuyue dared not provoke Lu Weiguo at this critical juncture. He had been on edge for the past few days, so she could only go upstairs first.
Bai Rongjun was extremely disappointed; Aunt He really stopped paying attention to her.
She still thought that in He Shuyue's heart all these years, she was also her daughter.
"Lu Ronghui, did you take things from my room?"
Although He Shuyue listened to Lu Weiguo and didn't speak to Bai Rongjun, she was holding back her anger. When she got home, she discovered that the package she had prepared for Rongjun was missing.
"So who are you planning to give it to?"
"What business is it of yours who it's given to?" But Lu Weiguo was standing there, and she didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only awkwardly go back into the house.
-----
When Lu Yang returned home that evening, he saw his daughter standing proudly in front of a group of little boys, hands on her hips, holding a stick.
"I'm the leader, you have to follow my orders, otherwise we would have captured them alive just now."
An'an was a little annoyed. She had originally planned to lead her people to surround and block the "Japanese devils," but some of them hadn't listened to her and had escaped from the encirclement.
Some of her subordinates were unconvinced.
"Why should we listen to a girl like you?"
"That's right, this is a game for us boys, and we should be the boss."
An'an, who originally wanted to hold a self-examination meeting, was questioned by the people below, and her little face tightened.
"Because I'm better than you guys. If it weren't for me, would you have been able to beat that little tiger on the other side?"
Lu Yang suppressed a laugh as he watched his daughter boast that she was the best. Finally, An'an noticed her father and quickly ran over.
"Alright, that's enough training for today. We'll continue playing tomorrow."
The group of kids scattered in a panic. Lu Yang reached out and picked up the dirty little girl, chuckling as he tapped her nose.
"You're amazing."
"certainly."
An'an was very proud of herself and didn't notice her father's teasing tone. She raised her chin and her tail was practically sticking up to the sky.
She only recently discovered that the children in this area are less intelligent than those in Xin'an, and are easily fooled.
She used to be someone else's follower, but she never expected to become the boss here.
The father and daughter chatted as they walked home. Suddenly, Lu Yang reached out and took the branch off An An's braid. He wondered where she had been playing and how she had ended up with the branch stuck in her hair.
"Dad?" An'an covered her braids and looked at Lu Yang with a hint of resentment. "These are the flowers Mom arranged for me."
He looked at the wilted, drooping branch in his hand and wondered what kind of aesthetic this was.
"Then I'll go back and pick some more for you."
Song Qing was making dinner when she heard An An's loud voice calling for her mother.
"What's wrong?"
"I missed you." Actually, she called her mother just to say it, nothing more. But when she saw Song Qing come out, she quickly started to act cute.
"Why are your clothes dirty again? Didn't Mom tell you to be more careful?"
Song Qing frowned as she looked at her daughter who had jumped down from Lu Yang's arms. Her clothes had turned from yellowish at noon to blackish.
She had just finished making the blouse in the afternoon and hadn't had a chance to put it on her yet, which resulted in this mess of her clothes.
Seeing her mother's serious expression, An'an thought for a moment and hid behind Lu Yang.
"I'm sorry, Mom."
"It's alright, she's just a kid, I'll wash it for her." Lu Yang quickly offered his opinion. It's perfectly normal for a child to get their clothes dirty, and she seemed to have realized her mistake.
"She knows she was wrong, so let's have dinner." We can't scold the child at the dinner table, after all.
Song Qing found it somewhat amusing. He didn't realize that An'an was just habitually admitting her mistakes first, and might do it again tomorrow. Before he could even say a few words to her, he quickly tried to smooth things over, afraid of scolding his daughter.
Since you're willing to wash, then wash more often.
Before dinner was ready, Song Qing went to the kitchen again. An'an was very happy. She suddenly realized that although her grandmother was no longer there to protect her, her father was also good.
"Dad, I want to pick flowers."
Pick, pick, pick! It's just a few flowers, right? It's no big deal to pick a few from such a big tree.
Song Qing saw from the window that the father and daughter were actually destroying the flowers, which were autumn fruits. She picked up a spatula and went outside.
"Are your hands really that hairy? Don't you know this flower is going to bear fruit?"
An'an was holding two tree branches. When she heard Song Qing's words, she instinctively wanted to apologize first, but when her mother glanced at her coldly, she immediately backed down.
"...I..." Lu Yang tried to explain, but his wife glared at him, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
When Song Qing returned to the kitchen, An'an quickly leaned close to her father's ear.
"Mom is angry about what happened earlier. An'an shouldn't have gotten her clothes dirty."
"Hiss, so you understood everything."
An'an smiled shyly and ran to the backyard. Lu Yang quickly went to help Song Qing cook.
He was busy running around in the kitchen, and Song Qing found him both inconvenient and annoying.
"Next time you criticize her, I will definitely not interrupt."
So you knew too? Song Qing was even more annoyed. She was there to educate the child, but Lu Yang was only thinking about being a good father.
