Gu Fulan turned away, unwilling to admit, "I didn't mean it."
Seeing her denial, Lu Yao didn't reveal it, "Mom, Duan Mingjie and I came back from the capital, and Gu Miaomiao used a soft knife on me again and again. You are such a shrewd person, I don't believe you can't tell."
Whether it was because she couldn't see it or because she was using it as an excuse, she knew it very well.
Gu Fulan pursed her lips and did not answer.
"I won't talk about it before. Let's just talk about today. Did I ask you to disturb my sleep? Did I tell you that I wanted to separate from you? I asked Gu Miaomiao to finish all the words alone. In the end, she even slapped me with a "not allowed" She was charged with marrying her second brother, mother, that’s not how people behave, right?”
Gu Fulan took a deep breath and said, "Yao Yao, your second brother is divorced. It's a good thing that Gu Zhiqing likes him. Aren't I thinking of finding a wife for your second brother as soon as possible?"
"Mom, we are not talking about the same issue." Lu Yao paused and continued, "But since you mentioned the second brother's marriage, let's make it clear that since you planned to let Gu Miaomiao marry the second brother, , did I ever object?"
Gu Fulan said in a dissatisfied tone, "You didn't object, but you weren't very happy either."
Hearing this, Lu Yao laughed angrily.
"So, my mother thinks that I should set off firecrackers to celebrate my second brother's marriage even if he sits on my head and poops, right?"
Gu Fulan frowned, "Yao Yao, it's not that serious. Miao Miao is just..."
Lu Yao asked, "What does it mean to be serious?"
Gu Fulan opened his mouth but was speechless.
"Mom, if you want Gu Miaomiao to marry you, I have no problem with it, but if Gu Miaomiao tries to make a move on me in the future, I will never let her go."

"Duan Mingcheng, I can't marry you."
The Duan Mingjie brothers were planting corn when Gu Miaomiao suddenly came over crying.
Duan Mingjie looked at Duan Mingcheng in confusion, "Second brother, what's going on?"
When did they get involved?
Duan Mingcheng waved his hand to Duan Mingjie, "I'll tell you later."
Duan Mingcheng looked at the aggrieved Gu Miaomiao, "What's wrong? Are you attracted to someone else?"
Gu Miaomiao: "..."
"It's okay. We are talking behind our back anyway. Others don't know, so I won't tell anyone."
Gu Miaomiao: "!!!"
This time I was so angry that I cried.
Duan Mingcheng must be a piece of wood!
"It's Yaoyao!"
Gu Miaomiao felt aggrieved as much as she wanted.
Duan Mingjie didn't intend to care at first, but he frowned when he heard his wife's name, "What's wrong with my wife?"
Seeing Duan Mingjie looking over, Gu Miaomiao was secretly happy, "Yao Yao doesn't want me to marry into your family, and said she wants to separate from my aunt!"
"impossible!"
Duan Mingjie immediately retorted, "My wife is not such a person, please stop giving my wife a shit basin!"
Gu Miaomiao frowned, Duan Mingjie didn't believe her!
"How is it impossible? Yaoyao said that you and she built the house and wouldn't let Duan Mingcheng and I live there. She also said that we would separate our families. I heard her clearly."
Duan Mingjie couldn't help but sneer, "So, you are not interested in my second brother, but our house, right?"
After saying this, Gu Miaomiao's face instantly turned pale. She looked at Duan Mingcheng in panic and hurriedly denied, "Mingcheng, I didn't mean that."
Duan Mingcheng closed his eyes helplessly.
"I can understand that you look down on me. You and your sister-in-law had a quarrel, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing."
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie dropped his guy and walked away.
As soon as Duan Mingjie got home, he saw Gu Fulan sitting in the yard crying.
Seeing Duan Mingjie coming back, he turned around and didn't look at him.
Duan Mingjie walked over with a frown and said patiently, "Mom, why are you crying?"
"I didn't cry."
Duan Mingjie: "Is that because I'm blind?"
Hearing this, Gu Fulan stood up and punched him on the shoulder several times.
Duan Mingjie was not angry after being beaten, "Tell me what happened."
"You don't believe me even if I tell you. Just ask your wife."
Duan Mingjie was a little unhappy when he heard his mother talking about his wife in this tone, "You are my mother, can you still lie? After asking you, I will naturally ask my wife."
Gu Fulan was worried that he was adding fuel to the fire. Duan Mingjie asked Lu Yao and the situation was not good, so he told the truth.
After hearing everything, Duan Mingjie was angry and distressed. He wanted to go into the house and hug his wife, but before that, he had to make it clear to his mother.
He was patient and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, "Mom, is anything my wife said false?"
Gu Fulan looked up suddenly.
"Lao San, do you think so too?"
Duan Mingjie took a deep breath, "Mom, did my wife-in-law say that she would support you? Did she say that as long as Gu Miaomiao doesn't get in the way, she won't care about it? What do you want her to do? Is she a qualified daughter-in-law?"
"It's been so long. I've watched my daughter-in-law put up with everything because I wasn't in the middle. Even if Gu Miaomiao tried to get in the way, she didn't stop her second brother from marrying her. Mother, why are you dissatisfied?"
Gu Fulan hesitated, unable to explain why.
"Mom, I'm going to put my words here today. I have no control over my second brother's marriage to Gu Miaomiao, but if you want my wife to be wronged, I will never agree!"
Gu Fulan opened his eyes wide, "Third brother, do you want to separate from me too?"
At this moment, Duan Mingjie finally felt the powerlessness you said she felt.
"My wife and I have never talked about separation, and my mother doesn't have to join others in holding the shit basin for both of us."
After saying that, Duan Mingjie stepped into the house.
Duan Mingjie came in cautiously and found Lu Yao sleeping soundly on the bed.
The man's stern face softened instantly, and he tiptoed over.
He took off his shoes and lay down next to her.
Lu Yao was drowsily asleep. She felt someone around her and immediately woke up.
Seeing that it was Duan Mingjie, she lazily hugged his waist, found a comfortable position in his arms, and said in a soft and waxy voice, "Has the corn been planted?"
"No."
Lu Yao raised her head in his arms, "Then why are you back? Second brother can't do it alone, can he?"
"Come back and see you."
Lu Yao blinked, let go of him and sat up.
"You knew already?"
Duan Mingjie also sat up after her, hummed softly, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, "Daughter-in-law, I have made you feel wronged again."
"I'm fine. I even slapped Gu Miaomiao. I think I earned it."
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie laughed out loud, "Well, you did the right thing, but you just can't let yourself be offended."
Lu Yao pushed him away, "I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I beat her, and..."
Lu Yao bit her lip, "I had a quarrel with my mother just now."
Duan Mingjie tilted his head and looked at her, "What do you mean?"
Lu Yao blinked, "That's right, we had a small exchange, maybe the tone wasn't very good."
Duan Mingjie laughed out loud again, "Well, it's not a quarrel, it's just communication at most."
