When Mrs Lu realized that the parent had misunderstood, she explained, “Oh, no. One is my daughter-in-law, and the other is my brother-in-law’s daughter.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s so rare to see a daughter-in-law and a niece who would shop with an elder like daughters! They are so filial, Teacher Li. You are blessed!” the parent quickly said. Then she answered Mrs Lu’s previous question.
She pointed at the crowd in front of her and lowered her voice as she said, “A wife holding a few months old child is here to catch her adulterer husband in action. Her husband brought a shameless woman to go shop here, and when she found out, she chased after him. But, don’t you think that woman is stupid? How could she come here alone? And she even brought a baby with her! She hit that shameless woman, and that woman fought back. She couldn’t beat her, and her husband just watched from the side. He did not even protect her! Later, the woman got angry and put the child on the ground. She took her high heels and hit him back.”
“She put the child on the ground on such a cold day?” Mrs Lu was shocked.
“Yes, she did. Some people didn’t like it, so they helped to carry the baby.” The parent nodded repeatedly. “When she didn’t have the baby with her, the woman was fierce when she hit the other woman. She grabbed her hair and slapped the woman several times. Then, she scratched her face until it was bleeding. She hit the shameless woman until she screamed and screamed. That man actually helped the shameless woman to hold his wife back.”
“That man is really a b*stard!” Lu Xiaoxiao scolded angrily. “That is his wife, and she even gave birth to a child for him.”
“That’s right. She even gave birth to his son!” The parent nodded again. “Since the child is only a few months old, I didn’t expect the man would cheat on his wife. Such an unreliable man!”
“I see.” Mrs Lu quickly interrupted the parent so that she would not say anything inappropriate in front of Lu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yao.
“Since we can’t go in, let’s go somewhere else.” Mrs Lu thanked the parent and quickly whisked Jiang Yao and Lu Xiaoxiao away. She did not want them to stay there and watched the drama continue to unfold.
Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi had only been married for a year and a half, and Lu Xiaoxiao was a young lady who had not even met a partner yet. Mrs Lu did not want them to see such terrible things.
The three of them were about to leave when a woman’s shrill cries and curses echoed from the place where the crowd had gathered.
“Lu Weihua, you will die a horrible death! B*stard! I took care of your children and your parents at home while you cheated behind my back! You went to a hotel with this woman and even helped her to beat me up. Are you still a worthy husband, Lu Weihua? Are you worthy of your son? Since you don’t want me to continue living, then I’ll die with you!”
Then the man scolded her. “Chen Lanying, are you done yet? If you want to be crazy, then be crazy at home! Take your son home!”
Lu Xiaoxiao held Jiang Yao’s hand as they followed Mrs Lu to go downstairs, but she stopped when she heard the man’s voice. She gasped before she called out to Mrs Lu. “Auntie! Isn’t Chen Lanying the woman who had been engaged to my brother? I remember that her husband’s name is Lu Weihua! I think he is the son of one of the bureau leaders in the county.”
