Little Lu Zhen clung to them, looking left and right until he was confused: "Grandpa, the three brothers look so much alike, I can't tell them apart anymore."
"Here, your aunt made a bracelet. There are marks on the bracelet. Look for yourself."
Mr. Lu couldn't tell the difference either, so he would always pull up the little hand and look at the number marks on the bracelet first.
Today's full moon banquet was held at home. It was simple and low-key. No outsiders were invited. All the guests were family members. Old Madam Lu led the female members of the family to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Gong Linglong collected a basket of gifts on behalf of the triplets and also gave thank-you gifts to each family. She spent the whole day chatting with her elders and peers.
After the confinement period and visiting relatives, Gong Linglong was no longer confined to the house. Every weekend, she took the children out to visit relatives and friends, and life gradually returned to normal.
"Jiayu, I have an appointment with a friend to discuss something. Dabao and the others are asleep. Please help me look after them. I'll be back in an hour."
Gong Jingyi gave Lu Jingchuan a car, which was left at home for Gong Linglong to use. She drove back and forth whenever she went out, which was quite convenient.
"Okay, drive slowly."
Xu Jiayu walked her to the door, closed the door after she left, and sat beside the small bed with a book in hand.
Gong Linglong came out today to meet Sun Ting. There were nearly 200,000 kilograms of grain and tens of thousands of kilograms of fruits and vegetables piled up in the space, which needed to be processed urgently.
Before leaving Beijing, her uncle arranged two large warehouses for her to transfer goods. She first drove to the warehouse to unload the grain, and then went to the teahouse to meet Sun Ting.
Sun Ting has a group of very capable subordinates, all of whom were trained by Gong Chengjun himself. Each of them is in charge of a route, and all the goods she delivers can be transported away within a day.
This time she came and asked Sun Ting to help her order a batch of piglets. This time she wanted a larger quantity, 300 at a time, intending to expand and strengthen her pig farming business.
After finishing her business, Gong Linglong drove to the post office and mailed letters and packages to Seoul.
"Hey, why are they here?"
Gong Linglong had just come out of the post office and was about to drive away when she saw Lu Qiuju and her sister standing at the intersection not far away, both carrying schoolbags.
Just as she was about to walk over, a strong scent of perfumed powder hit her nose. She turned slightly and saw that the fragrant woman had come out of the post office. Looking more closely, she looked about 60% like Lu Qiuhe. She was wearing a woolen coat and dressed fashionably, but her face looked haggard and solemn.
Ruan Yumian!
Her name popped up in Gong Linglong's mind. Although she had heard a lot about her, this was the first time she saw her today. It seemed that Lu Qiuju and her sister had made an appointment to meet her here.
"mom."
Lu Qiuju and the others saw Ruan Yumian now, but did not recognize Gong Linglong behind her.
Gong Linglong went out to do some business today, and she dressed deliberately in a simple and low-key manner, wearing loose cotton clothes and pants, a cotton hat and a scarf. If someone who didn't know her didn't look closely from a close distance, they really wouldn't recognize her.
"Qiuju, Qiutong, you must have waited for a long time."
This time, it was Ruan Yumian who took the initiative to meet them. The mother and daughter had not met each other during New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival. This was the second time she had met them after her divorce from Lu Nanzheng.
"Mom, why have you lost so much weight?" Lu Qiuting asked with concern.
"I caught a cold a while ago and lost some weight."
Ruan Yumian was wearing his old coat, which looked loose and baggy after he lost weight.
Seeing that the two sisters were the same as before, neither fat nor thin, and their complexions were pretty good, it showed that their quality of life had not declined during this period without her mother's care.
"Mom, do you have something to talk to us about?" Lu Qiuju spoke.
"Qiuju, are you blaming your mother?"
Ruan Yumian could sense the coldness in her tone, and her eyes reddened as she spoke. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, "Qiuju, you're already 15 years old and a sensible child. I thought you would understand me and know why I had to do this."
"I understand you. I know you have no choice, but what can I do? You are not our mother now. You are the old lady of the Zhang family, someone else's stepmother and step-grandmother."
When Lu Qiuju thought about what others said to her sisters and laughed at them, she became furious and couldn't help raising her voice, emphasizing the terms "old lady", "stepmother" and "step-grandmother".
Gong Linglong, who was standing by the car, heard her words and smiled slightly. If possible, she really wanted to hide on the spot and look at Ruan Yumian's wonderful face.
"Lu Qiuju!"
Ruan Yumian's expression was particularly ferocious at this time. She was so angry that her originally pale and haggard face turned red.
"You find it unpleasant, too."
Lu Qiuju's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she shouted angrily, "Ever since you married that Zhang guy, people outside have been telling us this. Many people came to congratulate our mom on becoming Mrs. Zhang."
"I, I, you know, your grandmother threatened me with death." Ruan Yumian burst into tears.
"If she forces you, you marry her. Wouldn't you threaten her own death for the sake of your reputation? Would she hold a knife to your neck and force you to marry an old man? If you fight to the death and refuse, will the Ruan family's neighbors watch you die?"
Lu Qiuju now saw through the true face of the Ruan family and finally regained consciousness. She yelled at her with red eyes, "Stop making excuses for yourself. You weren't forced to divorce my father. You really wanted to. You might have been forced to marry the old man from the Zhang family, but you really wanted to marry a powerful and wealthy man who supported the Ruan family."
"Lu Qiuju, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ruan Yumian just felt that she was a stranger now, and couldn't understand why she had changed in such a short time.
"You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not."
Lu Qiuju didn't expose her scandal outside. Considering that she gave birth to them, she gave her some face and changed the subject with a cold face: "What do you want to talk to us about? If you have something, please tell us quickly. We have to rush back to school for class."
Seeing her attitude change drastically, and feeling like she was losing control, Ruan Yumian panicked. She quickly looked at her silent younger daughter, "Qiutong, what's wrong with your second sister? Who's behind this, trying to sow discord between you and me? Is it the Lu family? Is it your father?"
"Mom, no one provoked us. We just heard too much mocking words from outside. Our minds finally became clear, and we finally saw the true faces of grandpa and others." Lu Qiuting told the truth.
Not only did they see the true face of the Ruan family, but Ruan Yumian finally saw it clearly too. Thinking of her current situation and the pain and grievances she had suffered, tears fell like rain: "Qiuju, Qiutong, I'm sorry, it's Mom who is sorry for you.
