Chapter 41: You Are My Son
Shen Meng was holding Ming Kai, gasping heavily, and during the break caught the sounds of Wu Xianglan’s ingratiating voice.
"Ouch, Jinghao, look, you’re still angry. Even though we haven’t officially split the family, even if we did separate our kitchens, everything at elder sister-in-law’s is still considered Lu Family’s belongings. Elder sister-in-law has left you so much noodle soup, what’s wrong with Yong Qiang and Yong Li having a little? This is also Lu Family’s food. Jiahe and I work hard to earn work points, what’s wrong with us eating a meal?"
"You, do you even make sense talking like that? Bringing your two kids to the elder sister-in-law’s place, you either lift the pot lid or open someone else’s cupboard. How is that any different from robbery?"
Wu Xianglan’s face changed, and seeing Xie Jinghao made her uncomfortable. Thinking about how long Xie Jinghao had been bringing Xiao Gang here, as if to monopolize the food. Regarding sewing, she is also capable, not even asking for fabric. She would be happy just to have such a noodle soup meal every now and then!
Surely, Xie Jinghao must have badmouthed her and Jiaojiao; otherwise, how could she end up being the victim of such accusations?
"Xie Jinghao, don’t you spout nonsense! When have I ever stolen from elder sister-in-law, hmph, you bring your son over every day to take advantage, elder sister-in-law is too kind to say anything to you. You’re utterly shameless, coming here to reap benefits every day. If you dare do this, then you have no place to accuse me. Let me tell you, Lu Mingyang is the legitimate firstborn son of the main branch; he doesn’t drive me away, what right do you have to speak?"
Xie Jinghao, infuriated by her words, felt the child in her stomach kick vigorously several times. Lu Mingyang, seeing Auntie Three uncomfortable, quickly came over and fiercely said: "You leave, don’t come to our house, Auntie Three comes because my mother allows it, why should you come and eat our food? My mother has already discussed splitting the family with the village, grandmother knows too, after the New Year when my father returns, we’ll definitely split. In my father’s absence, as the firstborn son, my word carries weight. Now go, if you don’t leave, I will call for help. The village chief will have to uphold justice for me."
Wu Xianglan, scolded by a child, became flushed with embarrassment, while everyone in the Lu Family mentioned that Lu Mingyang is Lu Zhenping’s firstborn, but internally none accept it because Lu Mingkai is Lu Zhenping’s legitimate son.
