Chapter 36 -36: Mrs. Lu’s Burst of Output

“I can’t take it anymore; thinking about it makes my stomach hurt from laughing.”

Susu patted her own head. The more she tried to shake off the image of Old Mrs. He’s trembling legs, the clearer it became in her mind.

Lu Xiaoting was also amused to tears.

…

The next day, the couple went downstairs at their usual time.

By then, there were already quite a few old ladies and little kids downstairs.

“Hey, you two are heading out so early?”

Someone asked, and Lu Xiaoting nodded in agreement.

“Little Lu’s wife, why do you go out so early every day? I heard you’re doing business outside, is that true?”

“People said the leader’s wife mentioned it, so how could it be false? It must be true.”

An old lady helping her granddaughter urinate interjected, which made everyone glance over curiously.

Susu was shocked, but her face remained calm, and she politely smiled at everyone.

Internally, she found it very odd. The people in the Family Court usually ignored her, so why were they suddenly all smiles and talking to her these past few days?

Strange! Too strange!

“Little Lu’s wife, are you really doing business outside?”

“Just earning some meal money.”

Susu nodded without going into detail, “Then, auntie, I have to get busy now, we’ll chat more when I come back.”

“Oh, then go ahead, don’t let us keep you from your work.”

The crowd watched the young couple leave and then resumed their joking.

“Don’t you think Lu Gong’an and his wife really have a good relationship, always going in and out together?”

“But I feel like Little Lu’s wife has changed a lot.”

“Yeah, yeah, not as aggressive as before, always trying to get a bargain.”

…

“The ladies suddenly greeting me gave me quite a scare at first.”

Susu’s first reaction was ‘Hostile intent!’

Lu Xiaoting raised an eyebrow, “Wife, you get scared too?”

Susu gave him a glare, annoyed at how he made it sound like she was always so fierce.

She poked him hard, “Hmph!”

Lu Xiaoting held his side, unable to hide the smile in his eyes as he watched her huffy back.

Police Station

“Hey, Old Lu, why are you so happy today?”

Lao He looked up and saw a man with a smile spreading across his face.

“How about it? Your little sister-in-law isn’t angry anymore, right? I asked your sister-in-law to bring my mother over to apologize.

It’s all my mom’s fault; the old lady just says whatever comes to her mind. One random guess and it spread through the Family Court like wildfire.”

“It’s fine now.”

Lu Xiaoting immediately put away his smile and restored his usually stern face.

“Yesterday did indeed give auntie quite a fright, my wife just wanted to teach auntie a lesson. Auntie didn’t have any trouble getting home, right?”

“Ah, what could possibly go wrong.”

He Zhong waved his hand dismissively, “It’s a good lesson for the old lady, keeps her from being idle and gossiping with the other old ladies in the Family Court all day.”

Under the high, scorching sun of the midday, the intense heat shimmered on the ground.

During her lunch break, worried about the situation at home, Susu ran to the store to make a phone call.

County

“Auntie, your daughter-in-law is calling.”

The auntie from the store shouted from the doorway.

Just after dinner, as Mrs. Lu was about to take Xiao Yu to sleep, she immediately exclaimed with joy, “Got it, got it, I’ll be right over.”

After saying so, Mrs. Lu was about to call for Xiao Yu when she saw the little guy had already dashed out like a gust of wind.

“Wow, that stinky kid runs really fast.”

“Go ahead, Auntie, we’re here at home,” shouted Aunt Liu Fen, poking her head out.

Watching Mrs. Lu trot out, “Look how happy your auntie is.”

Susu, keeping an eye on the time, redialed the number.

“Mom, it’s me, Susu. How’s the braised food business at home? Any problems? How are you and dad’s health? Take it easy with the work, and don’t tire yourselves out.”

“All good, all good.”

Hearing her daughter-in-law’s words, Mrs. Lu was so thrilled she couldn’t close her mouth.

“Don’t worry about the family business; it’s been going really well every day. Just be at ease in the Provincial City.”

Beside her, Xiao Yu stood on tiptoes, his little face flushed and desperate, and called out in a baby voice, “Grandma, tell her, I really, really miss Auntie.”

“Oh dear, I forgot about you, little one.”

Hearing the conversation between her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Susu’s smile grew wider.

She also spoke a few words with the little guy and then heard her mother-in-law mention the incident.

“Susu, you have no idea. They asked questions as if we were abusing Xiao Yu at home. If I wasn’t worried about affecting my second son, I would have snapped back right there.”

Susu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, briefly explaining the whole situation.

“What the heck?”

“They said you two abandoned the child and aren’t raising him? No wonder they kept questioning Xiao Yu.”

Mrs. Lu became increasingly angry, standing with hands on hips and cursing indignantly.

“They’re truly the worst, spouting nonsense dirtier than eating shit, just making up rumors about other people’s families…”

The lady from the small shop, hearing the commotion and wondering what was going on, couldn’t hold back her curiosity. She craned her neck and perked up her ears.

“Scoundrel!”

Xiao Yu was also fuming, pouting his lips and sporting a very unhappy look on his little face.

…

“Mom and dad, take care of your health, I’m going to hang up now.”

“Hey, hey, hey, you and your younger brother take care of your health too. You just be at ease in the Provincial City, we’re here at home.”

After paying the bill, Susu went back to take a nap; otherwise, she would struggle to stay awake in the afternoon.

Just after Mrs. Lu hung up, she immediately called her son.

“Would you look at you? Your wife is being bullied like this and you’re not even helping her. I really—”

Lu Xiaoting was met with a torrent of scolding from his mother before he could get a word in, and then the phone was abruptly hung up.

The other family members, having heard the entire tirade from Mrs. Lu, all showed awkward expressions.

“Little Lu, sorry, I’ve already scolded my wife. She definitely won’t make reckless comments anymore.”

“I also had a serious talk with my wife; why would she spread such nonsense.”

…

Lu Xiaoting nodded solemnly with a stern face.

“Today at noon, I called my mother to inquire about the situation at home, and I mentioned that day’s event. Mom got so angry she started scolding over the phone.”

Susu collapsed on the bed, having grown quite indifferent to sharing it with another person.

Looked at by the man’s deep, dark eyes, Susu looked up, “What’s up?”

“Mom called the station this afternoon.”

“Hmm, and then?”

“Cough, she vented for a while, then just hung up,” said Lu Xiaoting, touching his nose tip.

Susu paused for a moment, recalling how loud the phone calls from that era were, and belatedly asked.

“Your colleagues at the station didn’t all hear it, did they?”

Under his wife’s scrutinizing gaze, Lu Xiaoting nodded.

“Yes, they heard every single word.”
