Chapter 28

“It was you who didn’t let grandpa and grandma come.”

Su Ju pouted. If it wasn’t for Lu Huaijing’s success, she wouldn’t have come.

She heard that soldiers get high allowances, and she wished Lu Huaijing could introduce her to a comrade-in-arms.

The abacus beads of the Lu family’s old house were about to burst out of everyone’s faces. Wang Dani’s face turned black.

Liu Lanhua covered her scratched face, “Sister-in-law, the children need relatives. We’re all family, even if we break a bone, it’s still connected.”

Wang Dani dared to hit her, she had to force Wang Dani to swallow her pride and acknowledge her in-laws.

“When I was struggling to raise them, they didn’t have grandparents or relatives. Now that they’ve grown up, they don’t need them anymore.”

In short, Wang Dani would never agree to let this family of bloodsuckers be associated with her family.

Lu (Old Master Lu) was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He was about to cover his chest and scold Wang Dani for being unfilial.

Tang Wan saw this and supported Wang Dani, “Mother, you can’t say that.”

Her words instantly drew everyone’s attention to Tang Wan. Even Old Master Lu stopped pretending to be sick.

This new daughter-in-law didn’t know about the past, she was the breakthrough.

Li Cuifang and Wang Shuhuan looked at Tang Wan disapprovingly. Lu Huai Mei was so angry that she wanted to scold.

Under the expectant and angry gazes of the Lu family, Tang Wan smiled brightly at everyone in the old house.

“This comrade is right, even if we break a bone, it’s still connected.”

Continue, continue…

Old Master Lu’s face was full of excitement as he stared at Tang Wan. Wang Dani held Tang Wan’s hand tighter.

“Huaijing, since (Old Master) and they are here to bless us, we as the younger generation should respect our elders.”

Lu Huaijing: …

Seeing her wink at him mischievously, Lu Huaijing had a feeling she was going to cause trouble.

Sure enough, under the shining eyes of everyone in the Lu family’s old house, Tang Wan smiled and said:

“Since you are genuinely here to bless me and Huaijing, you should have prepared a gift and a dowry, right?”

Everyone: ???

Tang Wan said calmly, “Oh, besides me and Huaijing, the eldest brother and second brother’s families also need to make up for it.

I’m from out of town, so I don’t know the rules of our brigade, but in our area, you would give at least sixty.”

Three families would be over two hundred.

Everyone in the Lu family’s old house was shocked and their eyes widened. Wang Dani and the others felt very relieved.

“Sixty-eight, why don’t you just go rob money?!”

Liu Lanhua’s voice rose, clearly angered by Tang Wan’s shameless words.

Old Mrs. Lu’s face was ashen, “Where would we two old people get so much money?”

Tang Wan covered her mouth in surprise, “Is that a lot? It’s not as much as my father-in-law’s pension, right?”

Liu Lanhua had come to make a fuss in the morning, and Tang Wan wasn’t stupid. She had specifically asked Lu Huaijing about it.

Although Wang Dani secretly received a small part of the pension, in everyone’s eyes, it was the two old people who had taken it!

Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Lu Jian Guo’s pension, everyone’s eyes towards the old house became subtle.

“I say, those two old people are really ruthless. Back then, when Jian Guo died, they didn’t leave a penny of the pension to Dani.”

“That’s right, they even made her leave with nothing. Dani, a woman, had to raise so many children, how hard it must have been.

Now that they’re finally living a good life, they’re rushing to get benefits. They’re so lucky!”

“…”

Rumors and gossip are not pleasant. Lu (Old Master Lu) loved face more than anything, and he frowned, wanting to explain.

However, Tang Wan wouldn’t give them the chance. She stared straight at Liu Lanhua and Lu Ju.

“Is this your daughter? You’ll definitely give her a dowry when she gets married.

But why do you and your daughter look so different?”

Tang Wan’s muttered words made Liu Lanhua’s heart skip a beat. She squeezed Lu Ju’s hand, trying to appear calm.

No, no, how could Tang Wan, a married woman, know about her business?

The next second, Tang Wan whispered something in her ear with a smile, almost making her legs go weak.

“Last night, Huaijing remembered the trap he dug in the mountains. Guess what we saw?”

“I…”

Liu Lanhua’s head spun. She dared not gamble. If her husband knew what she had done, he would surely beat her to death!

So Liu Lanhua stammered to Old Master Lu and his wife:

“Father and mother, we can’t afford the dowry the third daughter-in-law wants. Why don’t we just go back?”

“Go back? How can I not attend my own grandson’s wedding?”

Old Mrs. Lu was unwilling. After the wedding, she would have Lu Huaijing find a good job for her grandson.

“Lanhua…”

Lu Jian She didn’t understand why his wife suddenly changed her mind. Didn’t they agree before they came?

“I… I feel so sick!”

Liu Lanhua was terrified. She could only pretend to faint by leaning to the side.

If she fainted, it wouldn’t be her fault if her parents made a fuss, right?

“Mother!”

Lu Ju was startled. She glared at Tang Wan, “It’s you, you made my mother faint!”

“Is that so?”

Tang Wan looked apologetic. She squatted down in front of Liu Lanhua and sighed, “It’s really my fault.

I shouldn’t have been so blunt. I’m responsible for making someone faint.”

“Then you pay!”

Old Mrs. Lu’s eyes lit up. This city girl was so easy to fool. She seemed to have found a way to get rich.

However, Tang Wan glanced at her in surprise, “No need for that.”

She pressed her thumb hard on Liu Lanhua’s acupoint, and Liu Lanhua sprang up like a spring.

“Ahhhhh!!!”

Her acupoint was bleeding from Tang Wan’s fingernails, and the pain made her eyes water.

“Oh, so you were faking it.”

Wang Dani rolled her eyes triumphantly, “It seems like you were faking your fainting spells all along.”

“I wasn’t!”

Liu Lanhua blushed with shame under the mocking gazes of the onlookers. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

She covered her face in shame and couldn’t stay any longer.

“Woooooo…”

Seeing Liu Lanhua running away, Lu Ju had no choice but to chase after her. She couldn’t just leave her mother.

“Mother…”

Lu Jian She glanced at Old Mrs. Lu, “I’ll go check on Lanhua…”

Seeing the whole family chasing after Liu Lanhua, Old Mrs. Lu pouted, “Useless things!”

“Indeed, useless.”

Tang Wan nodded seriously, then went over to support Wang Dani.

“Mother, let’s not bother with them. Since the elders have sincerely repented, Mother, for Father’s sake, let it go.”

“Tang Wan, what are you talking about?!”

Although Lu Huai Mei felt relieved that Liu Lanhua had been bullied, she hated her grandparents to death.

How could they acknowledge them again?

“Meizi, what are you getting so excited about.”

Tang Wan looked at her as if she didn’t understand, “Old Man (Old Master) and they are sincerely repentant, right?”

She looked at Old Mrs. Lu and Old Master Lu. Old Mrs. Lu wanted to retort, but Old Master Lu pulled her back.

“It’s your own daughter-in-law and grandson. It’s nothing to apologize for.”

“Yes.”

Old Mrs. Lu nodded in humiliation, secretly marking down Tang Wan. She would have to teach her a lesson later.

“Mother, did you hear that?”

Tang Wan said excitedly, “Old Man (Old Master) and they have admitted that they were wrong.

Not only will they give me and the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law dowry, but they will surely return all of Father’s pension to us, right?”

Everyone: !!!
