C422 Save Some Face
Don't we have to get the car back? Otherwise, how embarrassing would you be?" Qin Chuan sneered and stepped on the accelerator, leaving Chen Haiyan with a pair of taillights.
You... Hmph, let's see how long you can be arrogant for! "
Chen Haiyan coldly snorted and stood there cursing for a while before returning home full of anger.
In the living room, Deng Shumei and her daughter sat on the sofa without any politeness. The jacket and bags that they were wearing were thrown onto the sofa and filled up the small space. Lu Xueqing and Chen Haiyan stood by the side like a servant.
"Xueqing, what are you still standing there for? Quickly go and wash some fruits for your Aunt Deng." Chen Haiyan instructed Lu Xueqing.
Lu Xueqing frowned slightly but was unable to say anything and could only run to the kitchen sulkily.
"Hai Yan, I found that your family has not changed at all." Deng Shumei turned her head to look around for a moment and pointed to the old TV in front of the sofa.
"If I remember correctly, you bought this crappy thing when you were married. It has been more than 20 years. Why is it still used?"
Chen Haiyan's expression paused, and she hurriedly explained.
"Conserve? Conserve? Even if you have money, even if it is not bad, it should not be able to be exchanged, right?"
"That is really conserving." Deng Shumei nodded with a smile that was not a smile. There was indeed a flash of strong disdain in her eyes.
It had been more than 20 years and she did not exchange. Was she saving money or did she not have money to exchange?
It really made her think right. This television had always been used because Lu family did not have any free money.
Lu Entang and Chen Haiyan had not worked for a long time. The expenses of the family were entirely dependent on Lu Xueqing. Two years ago, the Luliang's construction material business was not doing well. Lu Xueqing even had to spend money from her family to the company.
It was only in these few months that the Lu family became more relaxed after cooperating with the Wang's Group. However, the last time they gave Chen Weijie's family five hundred thousand from the company, the Lu family had been saving money to block this hole, so how could they be in the mood to think about anything else?
While they were talking, Lu Xueqing had already brought out a plate of fruits and placed it on the coffee table.
"Hurry up and eat some fruits." Chen Haiyan said politely.
"Ms. Xueqing, did you not wash the fruit clean?" Liu Luting pointed to a rotten grape and said.
"I washed it clean. Isn't it rotten? Why don't I just pluck it?" Lu Xueqing did not mind and said. These things were commonly eaten at home, so they were basically bought at once. There was only a large pile. After a long time, it was normal to have a few broken ones.
"That won't do. If one of the grapes is broken, the whole skewer will affect the taste. How can I eat it?"
Liu Luting said with a look of disgust, as if the fruit was poisonous.
"If you want to eat it, then eat it. If you don't want to eat it, no one will force you." Lu Xueqing's face immediately sank.
Wasn't this picking bones from eggs?
"Xueqing, how can you say that?" Chen Haiyan's old face tensed up. She hurriedly said to Deng Shumei and her daughter.
"Aiya, I'm really sorry. I thought you guys came in the afternoon and did not have time to prepare the fruits."
"Then why don't you hurry up and buy some? Hai Yan, I finally came to see you. You don't have to be so stingy, right?"
Deng Shumei curled her lips and said.
Once Chen Haiyan heard that she was stingy, it would be fine.
She was hoping that she could show off in front of Deng Shumei this time to show how good her life was.
"Xueqing, quickly go and buy some fruits for your Aunt Deng. Remember to pick good ones, fresh ones." Chen Haiyan hurriedly instructed.
"I don't have time. You go if you want to go." Lu Xueqing said with a stern face.0
In her heart, she was also extremely helpless towards this vain mother. She wanted to show how good she was in front of others. Why did she keep telling her to do that?
"This child." Chen Haiyan smiled apologetically at Deng Shumei and hurriedly pulled Lu Xueqing to the side.
"Xueqing, even if I beg you, leave some face for mother in front of Deng Shumei. When they leave, mother can do whatever you want." Chen Haiyan said with a begging face.
"Alright... alright." Lu Xueqing helplessly nodded her head. Since she had already said so, Lu Xueqing could only agree.
After a while, Lu Xueqing took the fruits that she had just bought back home and washed them again before placing them in the living room.
At this moment, Lu Entang also walked in through the door with two fish in his hands. It looked like he was going to fish with his old buddies again.
"I said, where did you go? Didn't I tell you to prepare lunch at home?" Chen Haiyan frowned and went up to push Lu Entang.
This kind of relationship between a middle-aged husband and wife had been exhausted over a long period of time. The only thing left was that they did not like each other.
"Didn't I go out to prepare the ingredients? Besides, Didn't you say that Shumei and the others will come in the afternoon?" Lu Entang rolled his eyes and casually threw the two lively carp onto the coffee table.
"Ya!"
Liu Luting was pampered and had never seen such a scene before. She was so scared that her face turned pale. There were even fish scales on her face and she looked terrified.
"Old thing, what are you doing!? Hurry up and take the kitchen." Chen Haiyan urgently said.
