"Lu Qiuju, why have you become like this? I'm your mother, how could you just stand by and watch someone die?"
"Your father has money. His monthly salary is not low. His savings will belong to you two in the future. If you ask him for 200 yuan now, he will give it to you."
"If you don't ask him for money, he will leave it all to Lu Jingchuan and Lu Jingyang in the future, and you won't get a penny then."
"The Lu family favors boys over girls, and your father is the same. They all look down on you. They all despise you because you are a daughter."
"Lu Jingchuan's wife has given birth to triplets, all sons. I heard your father treats these grandchildren very well. If you don't try to get more money now, your father's savings and connections will all be left to them in the future."
When Ruan Yumian said these words, her face was ferocious and gloomy, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was extremely excited. In her eyes, the two sisters were just fools.
In the past, Lu Qiuju would have kept her words in mind, but now after hearing them, she just felt bitter.
"Mom, all the money Dad has is earned by him. He can give it to whoever he wants. It's his right. Even if he leaves it all to my two brothers or the triplets and doesn't leave a penny for Qiu Tong and me, we have no right to say anything."
"Lu Qiuju, are you crazy?" Ruan Yumian yelled at her.
"I'm not crazy, you are."
Lu Qiuju's voice also rose, and she couldn't help but yell out the grievances in her heart, "Because of you, Qiutong and I can't even raise our heads to face people. Because we were disobedient, your parents called us useless trash. It's also because of you that grandpa, grandma, and the other elders of the Lu family look down on us."
“Bang!”
Ruan Yumian was so angry that she slapped her in the face after being hit in a sore spot.
"Second sister."
Lu Qiutong didn't expect her mother to suddenly start hitting someone. She immediately pulled Lu Qiuju behind her and, with red eyes, accused her in dissatisfaction: "Mom, why did you hit my second sister? She's right. It's because of you that we were disliked in the first place, and now you've become the target of ridicule and humiliation because of you."
After Ruan Yumian slapped him, her hands were shaking and she felt a little regretful.
Especially when she saw Lu Qiuju's eyes full of resentment, she panicked: "Qiuju, I, Mom, didn't mean to hit you, I didn't mean to..."
"You don't have to say it."
"Now that you and my father are divorced, Qiu Tong and I will live with him. From now on, you will live your life and we will live ours without interfering with each other."
Lu Qiuju wiped away her tears and pulled Lu Qiuting away, "Qiuting, let's go back to school."
The two sisters turned and walked away. Ruan Yumian immediately chased after them, tears streaming down her face: "Qiuju, Qiutong, don't go. I didn't mean to do that. Please don't go."
Lu Qiuju and the others ran fast and soon left Ruan Yumian behind, leaving her alone crying on the street.
Gong Linglong, who was not far away, heard everything that the three of them, mother and daughter, had just said. When she had talked with Lu Qiuju and her sister before, she found that they had changed significantly since they first met. Now it seemed that they had really received good guidance and their brains had become smarter.
She had originally planned to go home, but now she turned around and went to the post office and called her father-in-law's office, but the call was answered by another staff member, who said that he was on a business trip to the neighboring province and would not be back for three or four days. She had no choice but to drive to the Lu family again.
"Linglong, how come you have time to come here today? Did you bring the three little darlings with you?" Madam Lu asked as soon as she saw her.
"Grandma, I just went out to do something. They were sleeping at home and I didn't bring them out."
Before coming here, Gong Linglong caught a duck in the space, took it out of the trunk, and handed it to the elder: "Grandma, I just bought it at the farmer's market. Grandpa loves to eat duck, so I'll stew it for him tonight."
"Linglong, there are some vegetables at home, take them back and eat them. You are breastfeeding now, so you need to eat more nutritious food. Take them back and make soup with them." Mrs. Lu confiscated them.
"Grandma, my mom bought two chickens yesterday and has been stewing them for chicken soup these past two days. This duck is for Grandpa and the others."
Mrs. Lu had no choice but to accept the granddaughter-in-law's filial piety and pulled her into the house. "Linglong, come in and sit down. I'll make you some tea."
"Grandma, I came over to tell you something, and then I'll be leaving. The three little ones should be getting up soon to drink milk. My mom isn't home today, only Jiayu is here, so I have to go back to help feed them."
Gong Linglong came here specifically to tell her about Ruan Yumian and her two daughters. She didn't care whether Ruan Yumian was living well or not, or whether she would get a divorce or not. She just felt that Lu Qiuju and her sister could still be saved. In order to prevent them from being implicated by Ruan Yumian in the future, she came here in advance to tell her grandparents.
After she finished telling him what she had just heard, Mrs. Lu frowned and said, "Linglong, I understand. I'll tell your father later."
"Grandma, I think there's something fishy about her remarrying the old man named Zhang. It's impossible for the old man Zhang to not care about his reputation, but he still married her at that critical moment. I suspect he has some secret dealings with the Ruan family, or some vested interests involved."
"It's better to investigate this matter. No matter what, Ruan Yumian is related to the two sisters by blood. If something really happens in the future, the two sisters will be dragged down."
Madam Lu agreed with her words. What she said did make sense. She nodded and said, "When your grandfather comes back from get off work, I will tell him about this and ask him to send someone to investigate."
Gong Linglong came here just to talk about this matter, there was nothing else. After talking to her, he drove back.
When she got home, the triplets had just woken up and Xu Jiayu was taking turns helping them pee. She immediately washed her hands and prepared milk powder for them.
Gong Wantang went out to attend a wedding banquet today. Han Ji was busy with work, so all the social interactions at home were left to her. She went to the wedding banquet with Old Madam Han and other sisters-in-law.
Since she was not at home, Gong Linglong and Xu Jiayu had a simple meal. The staple food was steamed buns, a pot of nutritious pork ribs and red date soup, and some stir-fried green vegetables.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Shui Meirong came on a bicycle and brought them two servings of braised pork.
He also told them a piece of news: "Jiayu, your household registration has been moved out of the Xu family. Please take some time tomorrow to go with me to the household registration office to complete the formalities."
"Also, your uncle's family was transferred to a city in the southern mountains. Your father was demoted and transferred to a timber mill in the suburbs. His current woman was also found to have a lot of problems. As a cashier and accountant, she assisted her boss in embezzling public funds for personal use and was dismissed today."
During this period, the Shui family has been making moves behind the scenes to vent Xu Jiayu's anger. They also found out about her living conditions in the Xu family over the years.
Her father didn't love her, her grandparents didn't care for her, her stepmother bullied and abused her, and everyone in the family bullied and belittled her. Her aunt was willing to take her in just for the monthly living expenses.
Shui Meirong went to Xu's house yesterday, slapped Xu Yuanzhi in the face, and forced him to give up custody of his daughter.
