Lu Zhenping left with his wife and children in tow, and Lu Jiaxuan and Lu Jiahe hurriedly helped Liu Sanjin onto the kang bed inside the room. Zhou Jiaojiao handed over the child in her arms to Lu Jiaxuan and took a cup of water into the room.

Mother-in-law still had quite a few nice things at hand; they must be carefully attended to.

It wasn’t until everyone had settled down at the table that they began to cool down and think about the words they had just said to Lu Zhenping. How arrogantly they had spoken before, and now how fearful they were.

Lu Jiaxuan’s hands were trembling as he held the child.

His older brother is now the deputy director of the Provincial Police Department. What does that mean? He didn’t dare to think.

His elder sister-in-law now controlled the entire economic affairs of Ning County Commune. How powerful she was, he dared not think even more.

Lu Jiahe was scared only for a moment, but it was just that brief moment. Then his mind cleared up. Now that his older brother and elder sister-in-law were so formidable, he would walk sideways in the village in the future. Who would dare to offend him? If anyone dared to offend him again, he would have his brother arrest them and take them to the police station.

"Wu Xianglan, you better be careful from now on. If you dare run off to your maternal family again, see if I don’t deal with you."

"You? How are you going to deal with me?"

Lu Jiahe sneered, lifting his chin, "Didn’t you hear? My older brother is with the police now. I still treat you like a person, so you better behave. If you make trouble again, I’ll have my brother arrest all of you and throw you in the detention cell."

"Ha, who do you think you are? Just don’t forget, you used to brag to me about how you used to bully our older brother. Let’s see if your maternal family ends up in detention before you do. Let me tell you, you better behave yourself. If I find out you’re seeing that vixen again, I’ll have my elder sister-in-law sort you out. Yong Qiang, Yong Li, have you eaten enough? Come back to the room with mom. It’s exhausting to cook a meal; there’s no reason for mom to do the dishes as well."

"We’ve eaten enough, mom. We’ll go back with you."

"Good children."

Lu Jiahe was stunned for a moment, wanting to scold someone but not daring to open his mouth. What he said might not reach his older brother, but if Wu Xianglan spoke, her family would listen in a moment.

Lu Changzhu was very happy; his son was indeed impressive. He knew his eldest wouldn’t just come back home to farm. It was unexpected that he suddenly went to the provincial city and became such a high-ranking official.

"Father, we’ve finished eating too. There are still things to do at home, so we’ll leave first."

"What do you mean leave? Wait. We haven’t finished eating yet. After the meal is over, wash the dishes."

Lu Jiasheng was displeased. They had come over to have a meal, not to help out. Besides, they didn’t come empty-handed today; they also brought some provisions. How could they still work here? Who were the freeloaders in this house? Did his father not have any idea?

"No, father. Jinghao has things to do tonight; she is a workshop director now, and she has many people looking for her after work. Moreover, the Head Flower Factory is rushing the deadline. If it wasn’t for you saying that we should all come back for dinner tonight, she would be working overtime. A whole night’s overtime is almost 30 cents lost. It’s quite a loss. With the day still early, she has to stop by the Head Flower Factory. We are not people with nothing to do."

"You foolish bear, what are you talking about? You’ve eaten your meal, and now you can’t wash a few dishes? Is this how you respect me?"

Xie Jinghao held Ni in her arms and calmly said, "Father, Jia Sheng and I give three yuan a month for the elder care money, and tonight when we came, we also brought two cans of canned food and a bag of wheat germ to nourish you and mother. We are not unfilial, we really have other matters. There are others at home who haven’t done anything or contributed anything to wash the dishes!"

The couple confronted the elders and then left directly with their children.

Lu Changzhu’s face turned red with anger, one after another, they were all thoughtless things, all children born to Liu Sanjin, not one of them well-behaved.

Lu Jiaxuan clenched his fists, bowing his head as he sat in his place, his teeth grinding audibly.

Weren’t the veiled implications from the third son and his wife about them?

The family had always been like this, so why were they now always targeting him and Jiaojiao?

Were they trying to stir up trouble until no one could live in peace?

After attending to her mother-in-law, Zhou Jiaojiao turned back to the main room. She choked up at the sight of the nearly finished meal on the table, casting a glance at Lu Jiaxuan. What was wrong with him? With all the good dishes, why couldn’t he have thought to save some for her? She hadn’t eaten her fill yet!

"The wife of the fourth son has arrived, just as we’re nearly done eating. You clean up the leftovers. If you can finish them, do so; if not, leave them for tomorrow morning. Afterward, wash the dishes!"

"What? Dad, I’ve just spent so much time taking care of Mom, and I’m not full yet. There’s hardly any leftovers left, and after I eat, I still need to take care of the kids. Or maybe, let the second brother..."

"Get lost, I won’t do it, I’m busy with something else."

Hearing that he could be responsible for washing the pots, Lu Jiahe didn’t care about eating anymore. He threw down his chopsticks and ran outside.

"What about Jiaxuan? Let Jiaxuan wash them."

Lu Jiaxuan’s brow furrowed. What was Jiaojiao thinking? He was an official working at the commune, how could he enter the kitchen to wash dishes!

"He can’t do it. In our Lu Family, men don’t enter the kitchen; that’s women’s work. I see that the fourth son is quite good with the kids, so once you’re done eating, get started on the dishes."

Zhou Jiaojiao: "..."

What nonsense, the men of the Lu Family can’t enter the kitchen? Lu Zhenping from the eldest family is practically living in the kitchen, have you not seen it, or are you oblivious to the rumors???

Shen Meng, Mingyang, Xiao Hu, and the other kids waited in the main room until Lu Zhenping brought back a large pot of sour soup rice noodles.

At the old courtyard, there was meat and eggs, but they didn’t taste good at all. They picked at their food, claiming to be full when they’d hardly eaten anything substantial.

There were some dried rice noodles left at home, thinking that Xiao Long might still be hungry at home alone, they quickly called him over.

"It smells so good, I didn’t expect my uncle’s cooking to be this great."

"Your auntie trained him well. He used to be terrible at cooking. Give it a try; I cooked it Diannan-style. I saw there was a jar of pickled vegetables left in the cupboard, so I fried some pickled vegetable with eggs and brought it over!"

Xiao Long distributed bowls and chopsticks and served the rice noodles.

The noodles were smooth and full of flavor, paired with the side dishes, they were incredibly delicious.

Shen Meng asked Xiao Long to serve her a big bowl. Before rushing to eat the noodles, she drank a sip of the broth and felt wonderfully satisfied.

"Delicious."

Lu Zhenping’s gaze on her was intense, like thunder clashing with earth’s fire; Shen Meng’s face turned a bit red under his stare.
