Chapter 135 -135: Favored and Surprised

After the Wang Family had settled their separation, Aunt Wang, holding her dried goods, came over to visit Mrs. Lu.

The two elderly women chatted idly while watching the children play rambunctiously on the kang bed.

“Aunt Lu, I really envy you. Your family’s siblings are so close-knit and harmonious, your daughter-in-law is filial, and the men are exceptionally good men” Aunt Wang genuinely admired.

Mrs. Lu chided her, “Aren’t all men like that? You’re exaggerating too much.”

“Your man truly isn’t an exaggeration. In the surrounding ten-mile radius, you can count on one hand the number of men like him. Who else’s husband helps his wife take care of the kids and cook meals? Isn’t that a loving and good man?”

Mrs. Lu nodded with a smile, humbly agreeing.

“None of the women in the Family Court don’t envy you. A good man who also is handsome. Though being handsome can’t fill the belly, it’s still pleasing to the eye, isn’t it?”

Mrs. Lu nodded, “Yes.”

…

After seeing off Aunt Wang, the smile on Mrs. Lu’s face never faded. She even found the men and boys of the family more pleasing to the eye.

Smiling, she asked, “What would you gentlemen like for lunch?”

The two brothers looked at each other, “We’ll leave it to you, Mother. You decide.”

Father Lu was a bit scared by his quirky wife.

The father and sons exchanged glances.

“What’s gotten into your mother? What’s she freaking out about?”

“Don’t know.”

Susu stifled a laugh, thinking to herself that her mother-in-law must have been provoked by something Aunt Wang said.

Mrs. Lu was in high spirits. Watching her eldest son, busily working with low brows and eager eyes, she nodded in satisfaction.

The wife of the oldest had changed a lot since coming back; she had become more sensible. She no longer pettily threw tantrums or got angry so easily.

She heard from her eldest that in the Southern, the eldest also worked while his wife stayed home to cook, ensuring they could enjoy a hot meal when he returned.

She had also come to terms with things; if the iron rice bowl was gone, it was gone. As long as the eldest and his wife worked together, they could make a good income as individual business owners.

“Eldest’s wife, later give me your eight-character birthday.”

Jiang Nan paused while chopping vegetables, “Alright, Mother.”

Susu chimed in with a smile, “Mother, should we go to the market to buy some wine?”

“Right, we should buy a bottle. Old Blind Man really likes it.”

Mrs. Lu called into the inner room, “Eldest, go to the cooperative and buy a bottle of good baijiu.”

“Buy more wine? Don’t we have some at home?”

“Just go and buy it when your mother tells you to. Why ask so many pointless questions?” Mrs. Lu glared.

Brother Lu grudgingly nodded, “I’m going now.”

Jiang Nan also guessed that her mother-in-law was probably going to see Old Blind Man, and she was somewhat skeptical.

“An’an, don’t you bully Da Hei.”

Susu scolded, but then saw the rascal climbing onto Da Hei.

An’an blinked his big eyes, “An’an is not bullying, just riding the doggy.”

“You cannot ride the doggy either.”

Susu promptly lifted her son off, but the little fellow was still pouting.

“Pingping, keep an eye on your brothers and sister. Don’t let them ride Da Hei.”

“I know, Mommy.”

Pingping puffed her chest, gently consoling Da Hei with her little hands and sternly warned her eager younger siblings in her baby voice.

“Mommy said you can’t bully Da Hei!”

“Otherwise, you’ll get a spanking.”

An’an and Lele covered their little bottoms, shaking their heads. “No spanking, no spanking.”

Hearing the little one sternly using Mommy to scare her siblings, all the adults couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“This child, she’s so by-the-book, just like the second child when he was young.”

Mrs. Lu looked at Pingping and was reminded of her second son’s childhood—always so methodical, more so than even some adults.

Susu had already imagined the childhood scenes of Lu Gong’an and couldn’t help but chuckle.

The triplets were now like little shadows, hugging their dad’s legs and calling out “Dad” as soon as they saw him get off the bed to put on his shoes.

“Dad.”

“Dad.”

“Dad.”

Lu Xiaoting touched his daughter’s little pigtails with a gentle tone, “Pingping and Anan, Lele be good, Daddy is going to the restroom.”

“I want to go with Daddy.”

“Anan wants to go too.”

“Daddy, hug me, Lele wants a hug.”

Father Lu looked at his grandchildren who insisted on following their dad outdoors and affectionately tried to persuade the triplets, but they weren’t buying it.

Lu Xiaoting, with no choice, called out to his wife in the living room who was cooking,

“Wife, I’m going to the restroom, Pingping, Anan, and Lele insist on following.”

Susu, with one hand on her hip and the other waving a spatula, said, “You three be good at home, don’t follow Dad.”

The triplets feared their beautiful mom the most at home — while grandpa, grandma, and dad just pretend to be scary, mommy really would spank.

The three little ones quickly covered their little butts with both hands and shook their heads vigorously.

“Not following, not following, mommy won’t spank.”

Susu was almost charmed by her three kids’ actions and almost couldn’t hold back her laughter, glaring at the tall man.

Lu Xiaoting awkwardly touched his nose, whispering close to his wife’s ear, “Wife, don’t be mad.”

“Quickly go to your restroom.”

Susu, annoyed, felt like spanking him just as she would spank the triplet’s little butts.

Mrs. Lu, hearing the interaction of her son and daughter-in-law, couldn’t help but smile joyfully.

…

After dinner, Father Lu rode a bicycle with his wife to visit the Old Blind Man.

“What’s it about?”

The Old Blind Man came out to open the door and went straight to the point.

Mrs. Lu quickly pulled out Brother Lu and his wife’s birth dates, “We want to consult about our son and daughter-in-law.”

The Old Blind Man leaned against the heated brick bed, closed his eyes, and started calculating, mumbling words that the couple couldn’t understand.

Father Lu and Mrs. Lu kept silent, not even daring to breathe heavily for fear of disturbing the Old Blind Man during his fortune telling, and quietly waited.

…

On the way back, Mrs. Lu thought about the Old Blind Man’s words, filled with smiles.

According to the Old Blind Man, Brother Lu’s family had overcome their tough phase, and the couple, working together, would progressively do better.

She couldn’t help but wonder if the rough patch Brother Lu’s family faced was her own maternal home? After hearing about the troubling affairs of her maternal home from Brother Lu, he had also broken off ties with them.

In her opinion, Jiang Nan’s mother-in-law was also problematic, always exploiting her daughter to support her son and grandsons.

“Brother Lu’s family, you and him must work together with all your might, that’s the only way.

I went to the Old Blind Man, and he confirmed as long as you two are united, things will gradually improve.

Don’t worry about home; even if we’re not the kids’ grandparents, their uncles and aunts treat them very well.”

Jiang Nan was somewhat moved by this, her mother-in-law speaking so openly for the first time.

Nodding, “Mom, I understand. Seeing the kids’ condition when I returned, I knew they are doing very well. I really appreciate father, mother, and my brothers-in-law and their wives.”

Jiang Nan wasn’t blind; upon returning she immediately noticed the children were thriving, their faces rounder and taller.

She used to constantly call the Chongxi Sister-in-law, and now felt increasingly embarrassed.

…

Brother Lu and his wife departed on the fifth day, traveling from Provincial City by train to the Capital, then transferring from the Capital to Yangcheng.

The sisters were sad to leave their parents, their eyes swollen from crying.

However, luckily with many kids at home, they bounced back the next day.
