Chapter 5 Qianqian Goes Mad
The Second Madam smiled and said, "Yes, Qianqian, Miss Lin is the descendant of a loyal hero. If you neglect her and spread the news that you are jealous, it doesn't matter. But if people say that our Lu family has no rules and can't even teach a daughter-in-law, we will be laughed at. As wives and daughters-in-law, we should be more generous."
Hurry up and buy her a headdress!
Mother Lu frowned and said to the old lady, "Mom, if it weren't for Qianqian, I'm afraid our family wouldn't have been able to get through that difficult time..."
The old lady glared at her daughter-in-law fiercely: "What kind of difficulty is this? How many people have begged to marry into our Lu family? What kind of lady does Xiao want to pick? If it weren't for Mr. Meng's request to marry into your father's name, this blessing would not have fallen on the Meng family!"
Ask?
If Meng Qianqian remembered correctly, it was Old Master Lu who went to the Meng family in person to propose marriage.
The Lu family valued her value as a merchant, but now they look down on her merchant background.
Meng Qianqian looked at the old lady calmly: "Since grandma said so, then Qianqian is really unworthy. Why don't we let Miss Lin enjoy this blessing?"
The old lady was just wondering what she meant when she heard her say calmly, "I will abdicate and let Miss Lin take charge of the family. Of course, if she wants to be the eldest young master's wife, that's fine, I'll give it to her."
"You!"
The old lady was choked and stunned.
She never expected that her granddaughter-in-law, who was always obedient and somewhat timid, would say such words in public.
Lin Wan'er is an orphan, her pockets are cleaner than her face. If Lin Wan'er is in charge, the old lady can't even think about living a poor life! After
Old Master Lu passed away, only Lu Xingzhou is an official in the Lu family.
Lu Xingzhou's salary was not high and was definitely not enough to support his family.
All the shops under the name of the Lu family were sold or mortgaged that year, but due to natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past two years, the harvest in the farm has not been very good.
Meng Qianqian turned to look at the Second Madam and said, "Second Aunt, from now on, please ask Miss Lin for the expenses of the Second House, the hairpins and skirts for my younger sister-in-law, and the gifts for my two younger uncles."
The second wife's face changed: "Qianqian, don't be impulsive, you are the legal wife! Why bother to get angry with a woman with no name or status? Second Aunt supports you! From now on, all the osmanthus cakes in the mansion will be yours! No one can snatch them from you!"
Meng Qianqian asked: "Didn't Second Aunt say that Miss Lin is the descendant of a loyal hero?"
With just one sentence, the Second Lady was choked and speechless.
"Grandma and Second Aunt, enjoy your meal. Qianqian is going to see the old lady first."
After Meng Qianqian finished speaking, she walked away calmly in the extremely shocked eyes of the old lady and the second lady.
The old lady came back to her senses after a while and angrily scolded: "It's getting more and more outrageous! This is the good daughter-in-law you taught!"
Mother Lu didn't say anything.
The old lady hated this kind of taciturn person the most. She couldn't say anything. "It's all your fault! Why did you return the key to the warehouse to her?"
Mother Lu said calmly, "The silver in the storehouse was originally Qianqian's dowry. Besides, we agreed that Qianqian would be in charge of the key after she reached the age of marriage. The dishes and chopsticks are ready. There are still things waiting for my daughter-in-law to deal with at home. Please enjoy your meal."
"This is outrageous!"
The old lady slapped the table, looked at Mother Lu's back as she walked to the door, and said unhappily, "A man will only stay at home if a woman is virtuous!"
Mother Lu tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
The second wife said aggrievedly: "Mother, what about my headgear——"
The old lady scolded him, "You only care about your status! If you hadn't come here to ask for this and that, would things have turned out like this? You spendthrift woman, are you short of something?"
The Second Madam dared not speak out, but muttered to herself, "What has it got to do with me? Didn't you make that girl angry yourself?"
Thinking of something, the second wife's eyes flashed and she said, "Mother, in my opinion, Qianqian is just angry with Miss Lin. After all, this matter really made her feel wronged. Why don't we first..."
The old lady said coldly: "What should we do to her? Send her out of the house? Don't even think about it! She is pregnant with my great-grandson. Even if I drive this girl out, I will never let my great-grandson down!"
The old lady only gave birth to Lu Xingzhou, and Lu Xingzhou only had one son, Lu Lingxiao. Naturally, the old lady was very much looking forward to Lin Wan'er's belly.
The old lady snorted, "That girl is so skinny, you can tell at a glance that she can't have children!"
Half a year ago, Meng Qianqian was pushed into the water by Lu Linglong. She was rescued, but the doctor said that the water was cold during a thunderstorm and she had been submerged for too long, which damaged her female constitution and made it difficult for her to have children in the future.
Meng Qianqian went to the old lady's yard.
The old lady had woken up a long time ago, but she refused to get out of bed.
"Great-grandmother, it's me."
After hearing Meng Qianqian's voice, the old lady poked her head out from behind the curtain: "Qianqian!"
Meng Qianqian smiled: "It's a nice day today, would you like to go out for a walk, Great Grandma?"
"Um..."
The old lady didn't want to leave.
She is lazy.
Meng Qianqian said: "I will catch some birds for you."
The old lady got out of bed quickly.
After breakfast, Meng Qianqian accompanied the old lady for a stroll in the small garden.
The weather in Beijing has been rare these days, with the winter sun shining brightly, warming people's hearts.
"Qianqian, I'm gone!"
The old lady's voice came from behind the rockery.
Meng Qianqian smiled and pretended to be surprised and said, "Great-grandmother, where are you hiding? Qianqian can't find you."
"Hohoho…"
The old lady was behind the rockery, smiling in an extremely exaggerated and sinister way, like a little vicious old lady.
Meng Qianqian looked for it on purpose, passing by the rockery again and again, but she just didn't go in.
The old lady laughed evilly: "Hehe~"
"Meng Qianqian!"
A sudden female cry broke the tranquility and beauty of the garden.
The old lady's face fell instantly.
Lu Linglong didn't see the old lady behind the rockery, and walked around to Meng Qianqian: "I'm calling you, are you deaf?"
Meng Qianqian asked: "You like to bark so much, are you born in the year of the dog?"
Lu Linglong was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, "Meng Qianqian! Who are you calling a dog?"
Meng Qianqian: "Whoever responds is the one."
Behind the rockery, the old lady who was about to bark covered her mouth seriously.
Lu Linglong rolled her eyes irritably: "Buy me some clothes! I want to go to the banquet!"
Meng Qianqian didn't even look at her: "Go to your mother to buy clothes. You are not my child."
Lu Linglong looked at her sister-in-law who completely ignored her, her eyes widened with anger: "Meng Qianqian! Why are you so stingy? My big brother is back, believe it or not, I will let him divorce you!"
"I couldn't ask for more."
Meng Qianqian said calmly.
Lu Linglong was used to bullying Meng Qianqian and no longer took this cowardly sister-in-law seriously.
She reached out and grabbed Meng Qianqian's hair.
Meng Qianqian glanced at the shadow on the ground, turned sideways, grabbed Lu Linglong's wrist, and slapped Lu Linglong in the face!
