: Coming to the door for a beating (update x1)
Just when she was distracted, someone in the crowd suddenly complained to her:
"You usually say that Dr. Lu's wife is a prodigal and spends all day eating and drinking at home. I didn't believe it at the time."
"You can see this today. It takes a lot of trouble to eat such a bite, but she doesn't mind it?"
Zhao Xiaohong was standing not far away with furtive eyes, looking at Father Lu who was lighting a fire in the yard.
She was originally studying the pot that Xu Nan had built in the yard, but even if it was a pot, it looked a bit different.
So what the hell is this new thing?
Zhao Xiaohong was thinking about it when she was suddenly interrupted by a few words from the person next to her.
She curled her lips impatiently, and then echoed:
"You don't know, Xu Nan is recognized by our family members."
"It's delicious, lazy, and wasteful. She eats in different ways every day. You said that her man's monthly salary is probably eaten by her."
"I heard a while ago that she even went out to set up a stall. I thought it was probably her family that was poor because of her. You said it's not shameful for this woman to go out and show off!"
Zhao Xiaohong thought she was complaining quietly, but she ignored her loud voice.
No matter how low her voice was, Mother Lu listened to her words without missing a word.
Originally, a group of people came to watch the fun outside the family yard, and Mother Lu felt a little unhappy.
It feels like my privacy has been invaded.
In a place where these people looked at the three of them like monkeys, Mother Lu felt very uncomfortable.
She actually wanted to chase them away, but then she thought that the people in the neighborhood might be people Lu Nanzhou was familiar with or knew.
Maybe it's just for visiting someone's house and coming over to check out the excitement, and there's no harm in it.
This is probably the same as how they usually kill New Year pigs in the countryside and everyone comes over to eat pork.
Mother Lu thought about it and just watched it. She couldn't lose a piece of flesh even if she took a second look. After all, opening her mouth to chase people away would hurt the goodwill.
After listening to Father Lu's words, she was about to go back to the house and call Xu Nan to ask her to come out and test the temperature of the oven.
As a result, I heard Zhao Xiaohong complaining about her daughter-in-law.
Can this be tolerated?
This cannot be tolerated!
Mother Lu originally thought that they were all gossips in the village who liked to talk about other people's families.
Why has this happened in the city? Not only has it not decreased, but it has intensified. Bullying has come to people's doorsteps.
It's just that she happened to see this scene today.
What about when she's not around?
Will this also happen?
Are these gossips always bullying Xu Nan and looking for trouble with Xu Nan?
After all, this was said blatantly at the door of the house. Will the next step be to go in front of the real owner and point fingers?
Mother Lu didn't dare to think about it anymore. How could a little girl like Xu Nan be compared to these old ladies who love to find trouble in all kinds of ways?
Mother Lu's eyes instantly turned cold, and she glanced at Zhao Xiaohong with a knife-like gaze.
Mother Lu retracted her legs to walk into the house, turned her steps in a different direction, and walked to Zhao Xiaohong.
The courtyard on the first floor was surrounded by railings. Mother Lu stood in the courtyard, while the group of people stood outside the courtyard.
There was only a railing between Mother Lu and Zhao Xiaohong's group.
There is a small door on one side of the railing. If Mother Lu wants to go out, she can just open the door from there.
When people around Zhao Xiaohong saw Mother Lu coming over with a bad look on her face, they subconsciously tugged at Zhao Xiaohong and signaled her to stop talking, and they all came to look for her.
But Zhao Xiaohong didn't know it. She became more energetic when she spoke, and her voice rose unconsciously:
"Hey, why are you pulling on me?"
"Where did I come from? Oh, you interrupted me."
"Let me tell you, this Xu Nan..."
Zhao Xiaohong spoke for a while, paused for a moment, and saw that everyone had different eyes, looking a little weird.
I don’t know why, but these guys are all so quiet today, and no one says anything to them.
She was confused and looked at the middle-aged woman next to her who had just complained about Xu Nan's prodigality:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Why are you looking like this? Why are you squinting all the time?"
"Why don't you answer me when I'm talking to you?"
When Zhao Xiaohong saw that no one responded to her questions, she looked unhappy and thought to herself, who are these people? None of them spoke.
The middle-aged woman who first complained about Xu Nan looked confused when she saw Zhao Xiaohong.
Then he glanced at Mother Lu who was standing behind the railing. She had now opened the small door and walked towards Zhao Xiaohong.
She only felt "murderous" at the moment!
The middle-aged woman avoided Mother Lu's gaze and whispered to Zhao Xiaohong:
"Stop talking, behind you..."
"What happened behind you?"
Zhao Xiaohong turned around and saw that Mother Lu had walked up to her at some point, looking at her angrily.
It was obvious that what he just said was taken in by others.
Zhao Xiaohong's expression changed instantly. Even though she usually made all kinds of nonsense, she was also a person who specialized in picking the weakest persimmons.
This Mother Lu's aura was obviously stronger than hers. She couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling at the sight, and she was also guessing about Mother Lu's identity.
Judging by her age, she should be Xu Nan's mother-in-law or mother?
She opened her mouth and asked Mother Lu shakily, with some uncertainty in her tone:
"Are you Xu Nan's mother?"
Zhao Xiaohong guessed, thinking that she was her biological mother, and it was her mother-in-law who heard that her daughter-in-law was being discussed, so she would not be so angry.
However, as luck would have it, she guessed wrong.
Mother Lu replied with a smile:
"I am Xu Nan's mother-in-law."
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief. She observed Lu's mother's face and thought that she must have heard everyone say that Xu Nan was a prodigal, that's why she was angry.
After all, does this mother-in-law hope that her son will get a prodigal daughter-in-law?
Wouldn’t that be a misfortune for the family?
If her daughter-in-law was like Xu Nan, it would be strange if she didn't scold her eight hundred times a day.
She smiled and said to Mother Lu:
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. After all, marrying a daughter-in-law depends on luck. The daughter-in-law here is a prodigal, so we, the mother-in-law, have to take more care of her."
"You don't even know how talented your daughter-in-law is. She spent all your son's salary on food..."
"Pa" slapped Zhao Xiaohong's face.
Mother Lu used 100% of her force in the slap, which made Zhao Xiaohong feel dizzy.
She covered her face and looked at Father Lu in disbelief. There was a trembling tone in her voice when she spoke:
"You...how dare you hit me!"
"Believe it or not, I make you look good!"
Zhao Xiaohong was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to fight back.
She could only try to intimidate Mother Lu with her tone of voice, but Mother Lu refused to accept her tactics.
