My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

Besides, Aunt Mei and the third and fourth wives returned to the Lu family's old house to live together, but she still felt uneasy.

The third and fourth wives didn't have much private money to begin with, so now that the house had been renovated, they handed it all over.

Aunt Mei was very shrewd. She would rather leave her private money to her unreliable parents and brother and sister-in-law, and only brought back a hundred taels of silver to the Lu family mother and daughter.

"Xingcheng, mother always feels that your aunt and grandmother seem a little strange! Could it be that they are just pretending to be rich and can't hold on for long? We mother and mother must be careful... If this doesn't last long, we still have to make a living on our own!"

Aunt Mei secretly watched Lu Shengshi meet a river fish seller at the door today. She looked left and right, waiting for the neighbors to see her before she bought five kilograms of fish!

There are so many people in the Lu family now, what use is five catties of river fish? How can it be enough to eat!

The neighbor stretched his neck to ask her, and she said: "It's such a fishy thing. If you buy too much, you will just throw it away. It's a waste! There is no good river fish here in my hometown. We only eat silver carp and crucian carp in Kyoto. We don't even eat carp! The small cat will cry when seeing this river fish..."

Lu Shengshi's words were full of disgust.

But when she returned to the house, the five kilograms of river fish became a treasure again!

First, she told Aunt Mei and the third and fourth wives how delicious the river fish tasted. She also said that although the river fish was small, the fish soup would be so fragrant that the whole street would be filled with the aroma.

The more Aunt Mei listened to these words, the more she felt overwhelmed. She was really afraid that Lu Shengshi and her mother would frame her and her son. In fact, she didn't even know how long she could hold on...

The last time they returned to Beijing, the mother and daughter got some money from nowhere.

Although the house was renovated and life improved, and Lu Zhanyao's concubines and children were all brought back to live with them, their life was still very tight, and there was no trace of the grandeur they had when they were in the Lu Mansion!

To buy groceries every day, Lu Shengshi has to go to the town in person, and he is very careful with his money!

If someone passed by the door, they would buy a few pounds of cheap food like river fish, pair it with vegetable leaves and coarse grain steamed buns, and make a pot of fish soup, which would feed the whole family for the whole day!

If they were selling pork, blood sausage, or something like that, they would just say that they were used to eating good food in Kyoto and now they just wanted to eat something light, and they would not spend a penny carelessly!

Since Aunt Mei brought her son back, she has only eaten stewed beef once, and she bought it with her own money on the day she returned from the refugee camp.

"Mom, I don't want to go back to my uncle and aunt!"

Lu Xingcheng felt disgusted when he thought of the small shabby house where his mother lived with him.

"No matter how difficult the Lu family is, it's better than our life! Besides, if Daddy comes back someday, I'm the eldest son. If I go back to that shabby house with you, it will make Daddy feel cold, and wouldn't it be a waste of money for the third and fourth brothers and sisters?"

Lu Xingcheng's words made Aunt Mei's eyes red.

"Lu Zhanyao, will he ever be able to return to his hometown in glory?"

Aunt Mei was secretly worried, but she heard cautious footsteps coming from outside.

She was immediately startled, because the figure looked like a man!

There are no adult men in the Lu family now!

Aunt Mei grabbed the feather duster in her hand at once, but feeling powerless, she ran to the outer room and picked up a fire stick!

"What... who is it... you are not allowed to come in! Otherwise, I will call for help!"

"Who are you calling? I'm back! Don't make any noise, shut up!"

Lu Zhanyao suddenly lifted the door curtain and walked in, scaring Aunt Mei so much that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

"Sir...sir...why...why...are you back?"

"Why? You wish I would die, take my son back to my mother's home, find a man to support you in a few years, and change my son's last name?"

Lu Zhanyao hated Aunt Mei to the core at this time. Thinking about how he had doted on her for many years, and that she had given birth to his first son, and that Xingcheng was well-educated, he ignored her status and position and promoted her to be his second wife even though she was just a maid!

But I never thought that she would be so heartless!

Although husband and wife are like birds of the same forest, they fly away separately when disaster strikes, but this Aunt Mei is an eagle, she only has wings but no heart at all!
