Chapter 35 -35 Old Mrs. He

Chapter 35 -35 Old Mrs. He

A group of women and old ladies initially didn’t care much, but when they saw the leader’s wife with a stern face, they stopped their laughter and nodded earnestly to show they understood.

“Alright, as long as you remember, just don’t go talking nonsense outside,”

Aunt Wang waved her hand to signal everyone to disperse.

The women called out to their kids and, with hunched shoulders, quickly went upstairs one after the other.

Usually at this time, the old ladies, women, and children would all be downstairs.

Susu glanced at the ground floor, which was empty without a single person.

“Wow, what’s going on today? There’s not a soul downstairs. I was wondering why it was so eerily quiet.”

When Lu Xiaoting heard her voice, he too came over, “Yeah, it is very quiet.”

Susu turned around and found herself blocked by the man, surrounded by his presence, and felt a bit embarrassed.

An ambiguous atmosphere rippled between the two, with pink bubbles all around.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the other homes of the Family Court was not so good.

The men from each household were aware of what had happened at the Family Court and were at home asking their wives about it.

An old lady looked at her son’s stern face and felt a little scared, her old face creased with worry.

“I, I just saw that the kid wasn’t with them, so I made a guess… Who knew it would spread everywhere.”

He Zhong slammed his palm on the table, frustrated and helpless, “Mother, it’s because of your baseless gossip that our leaders have talked to Old Lu.”

“That, that’s not going to affect you, is it?” The old lady’s face showed fear and anxiety.

The several children at home were also startled, staring at their father.

“Xiulin, go buy some presents tomorrow, take your mother, and apologize to their family.”

“Mom, at your age, how can you…”

Seeing that his own mother still didn’t realize her mistake, He Zhong stated firmly, she had to go, no excuses.

The old lady quivered her lips, clearly reluctant.

…

“So, it’s just because the people of the Family Court saw that I came alone? And then the rumor about us abandoning Xiao Yu started spreading?”

Susu was incredulous, amazed at the wild imaginations of the old ladies and daughters-in-law.

“I’m truly astounded… They managed to spin something out of thin air into a story with complete details, as if it were true.”

“Wife, don’t be angry,”

Hearing her husband’s comforting words, Susu shook her head, “I’m not angry, just a bit speechless.”

Having been here for a few days, she wondered if the little guy missed her.

Lu Xiaoting saw what the little woman was implying and whispered, “Xiao Yu was saying today how much he misses you.”

“Really? Then you tell me…”

…

The next day, the couple left the Family Court early in the morning.

He Zhong’s wife got the house in order and then hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bag of brown sugar and a bag of fruit candies.

One reason was she dared not disobey her husband’s words, and the other was the fear of affecting her husband’s job.

As soon as she returned from the supply and marketing cooperative, she dragged her unwilling mother-in-law out the door.

But they ran into an immovable guard at the gate and returned home without achieving anything.

Watching her mother-in-law smother her giggles, He Zhong’s wife sighed in resignation.

Over here, Susu was busy as could be in the new yard, oblivious to the fact that people from her home had already made several trips.

Due to Xiao Sun and Sister Hong’s daily sales, the demand for marinated goods increased, leading the supplier to start delivering twice a day instead of once.

Naturally, Susu and the others were extremely busy. As soon as the ingredients arrived, they immediately set to work.

When lunchtime finally arrived, Susu felt like her back was about to break and plopped down on a stool.

Family Court

Looking at the still closed door, He Zhong’s wife became anxious, and as soon as her husband returned, she hurriedly said,

“I’ve been here several times today, and the Lu Family’s door has been locked the whole time. You don’t think his wife is throwing a fit with Lu Gong’an over this, do you?”

He Zhong thought about it but didn’t notice anything unusual with Old Lu today.

“I’ll ask Old Lu when I go to work this afternoon.”

In the evening, when the couple returned together, Susu was being pushed on a bicycle by a man.

The residents of the Family Court, who normally wouldn’t bother much with Susu, were actually smiling and nodding in greeting to the couple.

Not to mention Susu herself, even Lu Xiaoting was quite surprised.

“What, is the sun rising from the west today? Why are so many people smiling at me?”

No sooner had the two of them sat down at home than there was a knock on the door, before Lu Xiaoting could speak.

Susu wondered, “It isn’t some other trouble, is it?”

Lu Xiaoting shook his head and got up to open the door.

“Sister-in-law, Aunt Wang?”

“Xiao Lu, are you two back? Where’s your wife?”

He Zhong’s wife covertly took her mother-in-law’s hand.

“She’s inside, Sister-in-law, Aunt Wang, please come in.”

Lu Xiaoting hurriedly made way for the two women and turned to call into the house, “Wife, Sister-in-law He and Aunt He are here.”

“Sister-in-law He, Aunt He, please take a seat.”

As she spoke, Susu got up to pour water for the two women.

“No need, no need, sister, please don’t trouble yourself.”

Seeing how easygoing Xiao Su was, Sister-in-law He felt even more embarrassed and looked at her mother-in-law, who was shrinking back, and sighed.

“Xiao Su, today I brought my mother to apologize to you.”

Seeing the mother and daughter-in-law duo, Susu guessed something but didn’t rush to speak.

Sister-in-law He was a straight shooter, and given it was her mother-in-law’s fault, she laid out the whole story.

Watching her mother-in-law cowering and frustrated by her inability to swallow her pride and admit to wrongdoing, since she considered herself an elder, there was nothing she could do. After all, she was the daughter-in-law.

“Xiao Su, I specially went to the supply and sales cooperative to buy this for you and to bring my mother-in-law to apologize. My husband also really lectured us when we got back; I’m terribly sorry, because of one reckless word from my mother-in-law, the whole Family Court was abuzz.”

Sister-in-law He tugged at her mother-in-law, who was silent like a gourd cut at the mouth, and whispered a reminder,

“Mother, have you forgotten what Lao He said at home?”

“Little Lu’s wife, it’s all my fault; if you’re going to blame someone, blame me, nothing to do with my son, but please…”

Remembering her son’s words, Old Mrs. He quickly blurted out a string of things.

Susu raised an eyebrow, seeing that the old lady feared implicating her son, therefore she was brought here by her son and daughter-in-law.

Seeing Sister-in-law He giving her signals on the side, Susu instantly understood and kept a straight face.

“Aunt He, you have to keep your word, otherwise, I really will go to the Police Station to ask their leaders about it.”

“Oh dear—”

Old Mrs. He cried out in alarm, frightened she was almost about to kneel, and repeatedly assured by patting her chest.

Susu and Sister-in-law He exchanged a look and saw the amusement in each other’s eyes.

After sending off the old lady, who was trembling and being supported by Sister-in-law He as she slowly moved along the wall,

Susu finally laughed out loud, “Hahaha, that old lady is really funny! Hahaha…”

Lu Xiaoting watched his little woman laughing until her stomach hurt, and his eyes and brows were filled with smiles.
