Chapter 335: Big Sis Qin And Cao Lanzhu
Grandma Qin thought of the Cao Family in the backyard.
Cao Jun’s eldest son found a partner at the military, brought her home a few days ago, and Cao Jun’s wife and mother gossiped behind her back that she didn’t dare to pick up food when eating, didn’t dare to speak loudly, but had a strong sense of self-esteem. A slight cold face would make that young woman shed tears.
In the end, Cao Jun’s eldest son had to take her away early.
In her opinion.
Old Mrs. Cao and her daughter-in-law had the biggest issues.
Regardless of the young woman’s character, if she went to the man’s home for a meal and ate heartily, wouldn’t they say she was like a starving ghost?
If she spoke too loudly, wouldn’t they say she had no upbringing?
Anyway, in one sentence, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn’t like that young woman. Naturally, they found fault with everything about her.
But at this moment, Grandma Qin gazed intently at the young woman before her.
Bright eyes and white teeth, composed and elegant, especially when she smiled, her eyes curved, instantly making one feel joyful.
She suddenly thought in her heart, with such a young woman, even the Cao Family wouldn’t dare to be picky or give her a cold face, right?
Oh my, this temperament and appearance match Hengzhi so perfectly.
She kept saying good, good, good.
She enthusiastically greeted Lu Qiaoge to sit down quickly, and signaled with her eyes to her standing daughter-in-law to come over and talk to the young woman.
Bai Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief; she was happy with her mother-in-law’s attitude.
Lu Qiaoge truly felt the Qin Family’s warmth and joy toward her.
She quietly scanned the living room.
There weren’t many Qin Family members today.
Qin Hengzhi’s grandparents, father, and mother, Secretary Song, and Nanny Aunt Guo.
But actually nowadays, one couldn’t call the nanny directly “nanny,” but either “sister” or “aunt” or something like that, just like Sun Qin’s current position as Director He’s life secretary.
Old Qin had two sons and one daughter; Qin Feng was the eldest son, and there was another son named Qin Lang, who lived in another compound.
The daughter’s name was Qin Min, the youngest in the family.
Qin Feng and his wife Bai Jinyan had one son and one daughter; Qin Hengzhi’s older sister was named Qin Ruixue. Lu Qiaoge had heard Qin Hengzhi mention his eldest sister, but only once.
After Lu Qiaoge learned about it, she didn’t tell anyone else.
The 28-year-old Qin Ruixue fell in love with a singing actor named Gu Jingwen from the troupe after watching a literary performance, but he had a fiancée who was about to get married.
Although Gu Jingwen’s family background wasn’t as good as the Qin Family’s, it wasn’t much worse; he was from the railway system, and could be considered old acquaintances with the Qin Family.
But actually, his fiancée’s family wasn’t an ordinary family either.
Yet Qin Ruixue fell madly in love with Gu Jingwen. According to Qin Hengzhi, not only did the Gu Family disagree, but the Qin Family also disagreed, and they expressed their attitude to both the Gu Family and the woman’s family, saying they would restrain and discipline Qin Ruixue. But man proposes, God disposes; Qin Ruixue really got her wish and married Gu Jingwen.
Qin Hengzhi didn’t go into details, but Lu Qiaoge could guess how Qin Ruixue schemed to get Gu Jingwen.
In this era, no need to cook the rice into cooked rice; as long as they didn’t *hold each other without clothes, it could basically succeed.
This Eldest Sister Qin must be Gu Jingwen’s fan, the extreme kind.
Less than a month after marriage, Gu Jingwen signed up to support the Feizhou railway construction.
That was the railway crossing the great rift valley connecting the two countries.
It would be completed next year, and Gu Jingwen stopped singing to become an ordinary worker.
What he’s like now, Qin Hengzhi didn’t say, and Lu Qiaoge didn’t ask.
The reason Lu Qiaoge thought of Eldest Sister Qin was that she rarely returned to her mother’s home, but today she came, and was walking hand in hand with Cao Lanzhu toward here.
This was what Xiao Cangcang told Lu Qiaoge.
Xiao Cangcang didn’t know Qin Ruixue, but it knew Cao Lanzhu.
Lu Qiaoge indifferently glanced out the window, then withdrew her gaze.
She told Xiao Cangcang in her heart not to worry; Cao Lanzhu was actually very smart and wouldn’t be foolish enough to cause trouble at this time.
As for Qin Ruixue, Lu Qiaoge didn’t take her to heart at all.
She had played a good hand terribly.
Not worth racking one’s brains over her.
Lu Qiaoge smiled brightly as she took the tea, moistened her mouth, and placed it on the coffee table.
Over there, Grandma Qin signaled her daughter-in-law again with her eyes. Bai Jinyan originally wanted to wait until things quieted down or after the meal to take it out, since Lu Qiaoge had just entered the house not long ago.
But actually, she had no experience.
Her eldest daughter’s marriage was a complete mess, and besides, she was in the northwest at the time and powerless.
By the time she found out, everything was too late.
So now, she didn’t know when would be the best time to give Lu Qiaoge the meeting gift.
But since her mother-in-law was eager, she would take it out.
The thing was on the shelf in the living room’s multi-treasure cabinet; she took it over, sat beside Lu Qiaoge, her face full of smiles, but obviously still a bit tense.
“Um… Qiao Ge, this is for you… take it, don’t refuse.” A date-red box was placed in Lu Qiaoge’s hand, and Bai Jinyan added: “I’m not good with words; if you refuse, I won’t know what to do.”
The research-oriented mother-in-law was a simple-minded good mother-in-law.
Lu Qiaoge discovered that not only was she simple-minded, but also very frugal.
She just didn’t know what was in the box.
Lu Qiaoge first nodded obediently at Bai Jinyan, and upon opening it, found a bracelet that was entirely emerald green.
Lu Qiaoge’s eyes held a smile, and her voice softly thanked: “Thank you, Aunt.”
Bai Jinyan felt greatly relieved and let out a big sigh.
But the next moment, the atmosphere in the living room tensed up.
Old Qin and Grandma Qin darkened their faces; Qin Feng and Bai Jinyan showed sadness, disappointment, and anger.
The previously smiling crowd lost their smiles.
The main door was pushed open, and a woman with short hair, tall figure, wearing a leather jacket walked in from outside.
She was holding the hand of a slightly embarrassed Cao Lanzhu.
Entering the living room, Qin Ruixue let go of her hand, crossed her arms, and unabashedly looked Lu Qiaoge up and down.
Lu Qiaoge also unabashedly looked her up and down.
It seemed she wasn’t the real or fake eldest daughter, because Qin Ruixue looked very much like Qin Feng.
Qin Hengzhi resembled Bai Jinyan more.
But it could also be said he took the best traits of both parents.
Qin Hengzhi didn’t look at Qin Ruixue, only at Lu Qiaoge, his voice flat: “This is my eldest sister.”
Lu Qiaoge smiled: “Eldest sister, hello.”
But she wouldn’t give Eldest Sister Qin a chance to speak; she looked at the embarrassed Cao Lanzhu, her tone carrying a smile: “Comrade Cao, we meet again.”
Cao Lanzhu gave an embarrassed smile; facing Lu Qiaoge’s smiling face, she uncomfortably tugged at her clothes. Last time at the dance party, she hadn’t dared to show attitude toward Lu Qiaoge, and now it was even less possible.
Somehow, she knew she wouldn’t get any advantage and might even lose face.
But this crazy Eldest Sister Qin insisted on dragging her along, though she also wanted to see what Lu Qiaoge was like at the Qin Family, so she came along.
She hurriedly said: “Yes, we meet again.”
Old Master Qin’s gaze was sharp, seeming very calm, but actually the situation in the living room was clear at a glance.
No one notified Qin Ruixue, yet she came; was it a coincidence or someone deliberately told her? Now wasn’t the time to ask.
