Wu Xianglan had been at the textile factory for a while, broadening her horizons and sharpening her mind by quite a few levels. Seeing her mother-in-law insisting on her bringing food to her elder sister-in-law’s family, she knew sothing fishy was up, and sure enough, after a couple of asly whimpers, she started playing the victim to gain so advantage. Heh, if Lu Jiahe got any benefits, wouldn’t she flaunt it in front of her? Would there still be a place for her, Wu Xianglan, in this ho?
With a vixen outside ensnaring her man’s soul, if Lu Jiahe held anything decent in her hands, it’d be chard away as well. The money her man earns isn’t for her, but it should at least be for her kids. Why should it go to outsiders, huh!
"Mom, you better not forget the pain after a wound heals. The ss Old Four and his wife made was just cleaned up by my elder sister-in-law, and now you’re starting again. At least Old Four’s couple is sowhat stable. What has your second son got? Why send him to Head Flower Factory, eh? Talking about how he’s climbing over Liu Suqin’s walls at night, fooling around with a tramp, sneaking into her bed, huh! The Head Flower Factory is full of female comrades. Aren’t you just sending Zhu Bajie into the Spider’s Web? He’s over the moon, but would those ladies of Head Flower Factory be pleased?"
Liu Sanjin: "....."
Shut it, will you? Why do you keep talking about sneaking into beds? It’s so vulgar!!!
"Letting him go there would upset not only the female comrades but also the n there. Would their families want such a bastard in the Head Flower Factory? Who’d feel at ease? My elder sister-in-law just finished wiping Old Four’s ss, now she has to wipe for the second brother? They clean up once and he needs his butt wiped every day. My elder sister-in-law is so busy, with her job and running the auxiliary food workshop at the factory, does she have ti to wipe the second brother’s behind every day?"
Shen ng: "...."
Talking about wiping butts... Disgusting!!!
"You, what are you saying? If your husband improves, won’t you have a good life yourself? Moreover, Xiao ng hasn’t even said anything yet. What are you grumbling about? Don’t you think working at the textile factory has made you sothing special. All said and done, you are just a temp worker. If it weren’t for Xiao ng not dwelling on your past misdeeds, you would still be farming at ho!"
"Yes, my elder sister-in-law is kind, allowing a chance to turn over a new leaf. I’ll rember her kindness for a lifeti. What about you, you old hag? You’re always plotting against my elder brother or elder sister-in-law, sucking their blood dry. Everyone’s leaning on them for support. Your heart’s wandered off to Oz Country, I’ve never seen such a mother like you. It’s like elder brother isn’t your own flesh and blood. Hmph, you used to curse at my elder sister-in-law all the ti. You co over acting all high and mighty, pretending to be nice. I say just muddle through life without fussing so much. It’s rather shaless how you’re eagerly stirring up trouble."
Shen ng: "...."
You sure have a sharp tongue, finally using your brain for once when you speak!
"Nonsense, I can’t be bothered to argue with you, hmph!"
Liu Sanjin seed to be hit where it hurt, leaving in a hurry without even taking her cane. Watching her go, Wu Xianglan felt a bit uneasy. She had just had the upper hand verbally, but it was a heat-of-the-mont outburst. Now that the old woman had left, she suddenly felt insecure.
"It’s over, it’s over, the old woman is furious. She left without much scolding, elder sister-in-law, do you think she might bully Yong Qiang and Yong Li at ho while I’m at work? Damn Lu Jiahe, useless nincompoop, besides the flesh below his waist, he cares for nothing else. My children are his own flesh and blood, yet he can’t even protect them when he’s ho. Woo woo woo... Why is my life so hard!"
Wu Xianglan choked back sobs. Without waiting for Shen ng to respond, she grabbed Liu Sanjin’s cane and hurried after her. She had to make a scene, or the Lu Family wouldn’t know her capabilities, and would bully her children behind her back. Her heart was entirely with her two kids now, and if anyone dared to lay a finger on them, she’d fight tooth and nail, absolutely.
Shen ng shook her head at her retreating figure, constantly sinking in this quagmire, never being able to settle her mind.
Turning around, she found herself face-to-face with the children. Her heart clenched, thinking about the people she had t at the village entrance, worrying that the sa words would be spoken to the kids when she wasn’t at ho. She had to educate them quickly.
"You know, what’s happening at your grandma’s house isn’t our concern. Mom just ca across so matters and wants to talk to you about them. You all need to take this to heart!"
"What’s that?"
Shen ng rubbed her hands together, feeling a bit uneasy. Previously occupied with earning money to provide for her children, she hadn’t thought about giving them privacy education. Now, seeing Ming Fang growing up, if she didn’t tell her about the matters concerning young girls, who knows how scared she might be when she encounters sothing she doesn’t understand!
"Today, when I returned to the village, I t quite a few elder ladies who said they want to arrange child betrothals for their grandchildren with you kids. You are all still young, so if anyone tries to talk to you about this, don’t listen. If so little girls or boys talk to you about it, just take it as a joke, laugh it off and move on. Ming Liang, you always have a sharp tongue. If a little girl tells you she’ll be your bride when she grows up, you have to tell her that’s sothing to think about when we’re grown-ups. Right now, your task is to study. Got it?"
"I got it, Mom. There was a girl in our class who told she wanted to be my bride when we grow up, and I didn’t agree to it. What do little kids know?
"It’s all nonsense from the adults. When the kids in our class go ho together after school, so adults see us and say we’re like a little married couple. Mom, it’s all what the adults say, it has nothing to do with us."
Ming Fang said this with a frown. When her brother and Daya walked ho together after school, soone said that Daya would beco her brother’s bride when she grew up. She felt uncomfortable hearing this and sneakily threw a clump of dirt at the person’s back, almost getting caught.
"Anyway, rember that child betrothal and anything about ’little brides’ and ’little husbands’ are all jokes. Just act like you don’t understand, okay?"
The children nodded their heads, and Lu Mingkai suddenly chuckled.
"I like Xiao Ya. I’m going to marry her when I grow up."
Shen ng: "....."
Mingyang/Ming Liang/Ming Fang: "...."
Why can’t they understand what was just said?
"Mingyang, take this dish your grandma brought over to Uncle Sanjin’s house, say we’ve already eaten and can’t finish it. Ming Fang, you’ll sleep with mom tonight; I have sothing to tell you."
"Okay."
Lu Mingkai seed a bit reluctant as he clung to Shen ng’s trouser leg, refusing to let go.
"I want to sleep with mom too, I want to! I’m still a baby!"
"Xiao Ya can already sleep alone, yet you still want to marry soone? Go be a bachelor!"
Shen ng was just teasing Lu Mingkai, but to her surprise, her usually clingy youngest son imdiately let go of her hand and insisted that he could also sleep alone!
Speechless, she was rendered speechless by the cheeky kid!
