The next day happened to be the weekend. As agreed in the letter of guarantee, Lu Xiaohua arrived early the next morning, but she stood at the gate of the yard hesitantly and didn't want to go in. Zhou Shufen, who was basking in the sun in the next yard, saw her and walked over slowly, stroking her belly with her hand.

"Isn't this the sister of the Lu family? Now that you are here, why don't you come in?" She asked knowingly, but there was a sneer in her eyes.

Lu Xiaohua rolled her eyes at her, gave her a look that asked her to mind her own business, and then pushed open the gate and strode in.

Lu Qinchuan and Zhou Ruoyu were having breakfast when they saw Lu Xiaohua walking into the yard with a huff. The two of them ignored her as if they had agreed to do so.

Lu Xiaohua leaned against the door frame of the main room with a cold face and asked resentfully, "What should I do?"

After taking a deep gulp of porridge, Lu Qinchuan looked up and said, "Whatever you do at home, do it here. Oh, and water the vegetable patch in the yard, too."

Looking at Zhou Ruoyu arrogantly biting into her steamed bun at the table, Lu Xiaohua was furious: "What kind of fate is this for me? Why can't I get rid of her shadow?"

Zhou Ruoyu snorted softly, "Then just accept your fate. Next time you want to deal with me, think about whether you have a chance of winning before you decide, okay?"

Lu Xiaohua didn't want to go back home, nor did she want to be interviewed by the police. Seeing that her beloved fourth brother only had eyes for this vixen, she pursed her lips and sighed, "It's just bad luck for me."

She was about to pick up the broom and go into the bedroom to clean when Zhou Ruoyu added quietly, "I'm an easy person to get along with. If you don't get along well with me, find the reason yourself."

Lu Xiaohua felt very humiliated and helpless, even having the feeling of being bullied by a dog in a desperate situation. Now she could see the situation clearly. The couple was in cahoots with each other. Her fourth brother was no longer the fourth brother he used to be, and Zhou Ruoyu was no longer the Zhou Ruoyu who listened to her at will.

Lu Qinchuan stood up, picked up his coat from the hanger and walked out: "I have something to do outside. I won't be back at noon."

Lu Xiaohua felt a little aggrieved. Although Lu Qinchuan was surly and cold towards her, he couldn't really make things difficult for her.

But Zhou Ruoyu was different. She always had a feeling that the woman was deliberately plotting revenge. She felt a little scared without Lu Qinchuan.

Just as I was complaining in my heart, I looked up and saw the courtyard gate opened. Zhou Shufen, with a smile on her face, led Erya in, holding a bag of melon seeds in her hand.

Even if she was not Zhou Ruoyu's accomplice, she was at least here to watch the fun.

Zhou Shufen raised her voice, "Sister Xiaoyu, I heard at the door that Captain Lu was going out. You looked lonely, so I came to keep you company."

Zhou Ruoyu reached out and pulled Erya over, saying with a smile, "Why didn't Erya go play with her sister?"

Erya hugged her thighs in a baby voice and said, "I like playing with Auntie. Sister is mean. She won't play with me when she has classmates."

Zhou Shufen glared at her and said, "Kid, it was obviously your sister who wanted to take you to play, but you insisted on playing with your aunt."

Erya, whose thoughts were exposed, was not annoyed. She continued to hug Zhou Ruoyu's legs with a smile: "Auntie is good to begin with. I like her. My sister is out playing, and Auntie is mine alone."

This little girl is so smart and clever at such a young age. No wonder her aunt later became one of the first e-commerce entrepreneurs and made a fortune.

Lu Qinchuan pinched her chubby cheeks and said, "There's candy in the room, go get it yourself."

Erya smiled with her face bent: "Thank you, Uncle Lu!"

Lu Qinchuan put his coat on his arm. Zhou Ruoyu walked him to the yard and smiled mischievously: "Don't worry, she is at least our parents' daughter. I won't make things difficult for her."

After taking a reassurance, he strode out.

When I returned to the house, I saw Zhou Shufen already chatting behind Lu Xiaohua: "...They say it's better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage. The one with the surname Su is really wicked!"

"Let me ask you, if you and Platoon Leader Lai are living happily together, and a vixen shows up and asks him to be your partner, what would you think?"

Lu Xiaohua: “…”

Zhou Shufen's eloquence is truly amazing, and she was talking while eating melon seeds, with no intention of stopping at all.

"Mrs. Zhou, I'm sweeping the floor, and you're eating sunflower seeds behind me. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Lu Xiaohua really wanted to shut her mouth. She hadn't slept well all night because of tossing and turning. Now she felt noisy and annoying.

"Sister Zhou, please don't disturb her. She has a lot of work to do today. She still has the kitchen and toilet to clean up. They haven't been cleaned for so many days. She needs to speed up the process."

Zhou Ruoyu winked at her, and Zhou Shufen understood: "Ah, the work can't be finished in one go. If you can't finish it in one day, do it in two days. Don't tire the little girl out."

Lu Xiaohua's face turned pale when she heard this. Two days? She didn't want to stay even a minute longer, okay?

Then a very dramatic scene appeared. Lu Xiaohua cleaned the house inside and outside with a gloomy face the whole time, just like a wronged person trapped in the evil old society with deep hatred and suffering.

Looking at Zhou Shufen and Zhou Ruoyu in the yard, they were eating melon seeds, drinking sugar water, basking in the sun, with their children running back and forth on their knees. It was another scene of peaceful and quiet life.

I have to say that Lu Xiaohua is good at doing housework. After all, when she is at home, she has to share a lot of housework. Although it is not balanced, she has practiced her hands and feet to be nimble and keep the house clean and tidy.

It was almost noon and Erya was hungry.

Zhou Ruoyu stood up and said, "Sister Zhou, let's eat here at noon today. I'll make you some oil-splashed noodles."

"What is oil-splashed noodles?" Zhou Shufen had never heard of it.

“It’s the kind of noodles you want to have a second bowl of after you finish one.”

Zhou Ruoyu laughed and joked, saying that it was useless to explain, so she might as well shut them up with delicious food.

Lu Xiaohua was cleaning the kitchen. When she saw Zhou Ruoyu come in, she continued to wipe the cupboard without saying a word.

The two of them were busy with their own things, as if the other didn't exist. Zhou Ruoyu started to mix and roll the dough, and then picked a handful of green vegetables from the yard and placed them in front of Lu Xiaohua: "Pick them and wash them."

Lu Xiaohua threw the rag in her hand: "Why should I pick it and wash it?"

"Don't you want to eat?" Zhou Ruoyu didn't even look at her, and began to tear the noodles in her hand into wide strips.

After being advised by her, Lu Xiaohua's stomach started to growl. She swallowed hard and finally took it off and washed it obediently.

The noodles and vegetables were cooked quickly. Various seasonings such as onions and dried chilies were mixed together, and hot oil was poured on them. In an instant, a mouth-watering aroma was stimulated, filling the room with fragrance.

Zhou Ruoyu stole a glance and saw Lu Xiaohua wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her hand. She ordered her resolutely: "Move the table to the yard and eat there at noon."

People are always slaves to delicious food. Lu Xiaohua didn't think much about it and just picked up the table and moved it to the yard.

Zhou Ruoyu filled a large bowl for each person. The aroma of chili and noodles combined perfectly, making the taste buds feel comfortable. Paired with fresh vegetables and rich sauce, every bite was filled with satisfaction.

This is the deliciousness of oil-splashed noodles, it is hard for anyone to resist.

The adults each ate a large bowl. Zhou Shufen was so full that she held onto the table with her hands: "I really want another bowl, but I really can't eat any more."

Lu Xiaohua also wiped her mouth, feeling so full and comfortable!

She was looking at Zhou Ruoyu carefully from behind. When Zhou Ruoyu turned around, she met her inquiring eyes and was startled: "What are you looking at?"

"You are not Zhou Ruoyu, who are you?"
