After all, she was still a fifteen-year-old girl; whatever she thought in her heart showed on her face. Today, just when Li Yunqiao was taking a break, while others might not notice, he could understand the situation quite well.

When it came to this niece-in-law, Li Yunqiao was not too fond of her in his heart. Such uneducated people who act without consideration need more attention.

"Grandma. Aunt. Uncle."

"Hmm, you two get seated quickly and have dinner." The old lady never liked her since she was born, but now her daughter really couldn’t manage without help, so it had to be that way. She just hoped for her to behave honestly.

Lu chuckled wholesomely, "Mom, when are you going back?"

"I’m staying here for a few days, and then let Yunqiao take me back."

And so, Lu Chunhong settled in. The child was indifferent and needed direction but did reasonably well once instructed.

After all, she was still a child. So, her patience was lacking when it came to looking after Zhibin and Hongpeng.

Lu Fengzhen internalized her thoughts, "Mom, if not, why don’t you take Chunhong back when you leave? She can’t handle the two kids."

Aunt Wang was distressed too; the child was really disappointing, hasn’t even been here long, and behaving like this.

"Then what will you do here?"

"There shouldn’t be any problem. You raised six of us without anyone helping with the kids. Why would there be an issue for me?"

"Alright. Discuss it with Yunqiao later; if things don’t work out, find an outsider, which would be easier to deal with."

"Yes, that’s what I thought too. Chunhong is still young and lacks understanding, so we should avoid any errors that could ruin family relations later."

"Okay. I’ll take her back when I leave."

Alas, the Third’s family might not be happy." Aunt Wang sighed, feeling too old to care about issues anymore, choosing to turn a blind eye when it came to her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, there’s no solution to this."

"Yes, I’ll keep an eye on her these few days."

"Mom, please stay a few more days."

"There are so many things at home, soon it’s time for opening up. Even if I’m no longer fit for much work, I can at least arrange things and cook for them."

Lu Fengzhen knew very well, this is how elders have always been.

For dinner, we had sorghum porridge and pancakes. In the morning, Li Yunqiang had sent over a hundred eggs and two roosters. So, for dinner, we had scrambled eggs with pickled vegetables, and added two more eggs.

Lu Chunhong, being a girl, had a craving but didn’t overstep during dinner.

However, her gaze consistently fixated on Hong Lin, which left Zheng Lihong very displeased.

Initially, Lu Fengzhen hadn’t noticed as she was focused on feeding Hongpeng and Zhibin.

It was Li Yunqiao who gave her a nudge, and upon seeing it, Lu Fengzhen blushed furiously, both with anger and embarrassment.

"Chunhong, I’ll take you back tomorrow."

Lu Chunhong startled, "Aunt, I just came, and you’re sending me back? Wasn’t I supposed to look after you?"

"No need, you can go back."

Aunt Wang didn’t notice until seeing her daughter’s face filled with rage, she finally grasped the situation. At this age, is there anything left unknown?

Feeling utterly embarrassed, "Lihong, Chunhong is immature, both of us will leave tomorrow."

"Grandma, it’s not being intolerant; if something serious happens, relatives won’t remain relatives anymore."

The words were harsh. Everyone at the table had a grim expression.

"I’m not going back."

No one paid attention to her, but this wasn’t her choice now. Though nothing had happened yet, if something stirred, it would indeed be irreconcilable.

Zheng Lihong’s expression remained unpleasant. After dinner, it was she and Lu Fengzhen who tidied up. Lu Chunhong just sat there, as she was used to doing.

Aunt Wang regretted seeing such behavior, wondering why she even agreed in the first place. It was a disgrace at her age, wishing she could leave immediately.

"Yunqiao, is there any way to return now?"

"Mom. Who leaves in the middle of the night?"

"Yunqiao, any solution now?"

"Mom. Xiao Wei’s car from our village is in the city, and I have the key."

"Alright, then take us back."

"Grandma, I’m not leaving. It’s good living here. Now I understand why you came to stay with Aunt."

"Shut up." Aunt Wang wore a grim expression.

It frightened Lu Chunhong into silence, though her face harbored a look of discontent.

"Yunqiao, can you drive? Take us back."

"Mom, come back with me today."

Aunt Wang waved her hand.

In the kitchen, Lu Fengzhen also apologized to Zheng Lihong, "Lihong, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect this. So don’t think too much, I’ll take her back tomorrow."

"Aunt Lu, having a big girl live in our home is indeed unsuitable; if it’s inconvenient, we’ll move out.

You didn’t notice earlier, but your niece’s gaze at Hong Lin was like a dog eyeing a piece of meat.

I won’t live with someone like that, not knowing what could happen later. How would we handle it then?"

Her words made Lu Fengzhen’s face alternately green and white, utterly disgraced. What was this? Someone from her own family said such things, and it was indeed a relative’s deeds, unable to refute.

"Lihong, I’ll send her away tomorrow. I’m baffled by this child’s behavior."

Zheng Lihong thought of saying, isn’t it because you married into the city? Living a good life, your family’s members also follow suit.

Honestly, Zheng Lihong didn’t look down on country folks; she just saw that quite a few among the Lu Family truly lacked presence.

After tidying up, stepping out, they didn’t see her mother.

"Fengzhen, Mom wants me to take them back tonight."

"Alright, I’ll go see Mom." Lu Fengzhen was in a very poor mood.

Zheng Lihong mentioned to Li Yunqiao and headed upstairs too.

Inside, Hong Lin was teaching his son and brother to recognize words. "Don’t be mad; for whom is such a person worth your anger?"

"Really, the thickest face I’ve ever seen. So disgraceful, you didn’t see Aunt Lu’s face in the kitchen earlier."

"Enough, there’s no need to get mad over such people. Don’t you know how I am with you? Don’t worry, I wouldn’t even bother to look at such people."

"Hmph, I just can’t stand it. What kind of person? Why would a young girl fixate on a man with a family? Truly shameless."

"Shameless."

Zhibin said with a smile.

"Alright, see, your son learns from you. Don’t corrupt our child."

"Alright, I know."

Zheng Lihong sat on the side, watching her brother-in-law flipping through a book. Her son was playfully teasing his dad; it really was different.
