In the evening, Lu Yao saw her mother-in-law and Duan Mingjie coming back one after another.
The mother-in-law had a slumped face, as if no one could feel sorry for her, and Duan Mingjie, who followed behind her, also had a bad look on her face.
Lu Yao was extremely puzzled.
On the first day of work, why are mother and son still at odds?
Gu Fulan was so angry that he went back to the house.
Lu Yao looked at Duan Mingjie, "Did you quarrel with mother?"
Duan Mingjie poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one go.
Lu Yao became more and more curious, "What's wrong?"
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips, "When my mother is not cooking, she has nothing to do. She just wanders around the construction site, directing this and supervising that. Lao Li and Feng Wei are like idlers, unable to carry out their work at all."
Lu Yao blinked, a little helpless. Although she was not present at the scene, she could imagine what the situation was like.
"Mom is also worried about you and wants to help you. Just tell her properly."
"I told her angrily in the morning, but she didn't listen at all, and it was still the same in the afternoon. I couldn't quarrel with her in front of so many people. On the way back, I said a few words to her, and then she started quarreling with me. ”
"you....."
Just as Lu Yao was about to speak, she heard a bang. Gu Fulan pushed open the door of her room, stood at the door, and shouted at Duan Mingjie, "You were the one who quarreled with me first. Do you talk to me like this? What do you call me?" I've delayed you, why have I affected the relationship between your brothers? Ah!"
The breath in Duan Mingjie's chest rose rapidly.
Lu Yao was also a little confused.
"I see, they are not doing it for you, okay? They are using your money to work as foreigners. They don't do much work. Thirty cents a day passes. I don't feel bad!"
"When I'm there, they don't dare to be lazy!"
Gu Fulan patted her chest, "I became this bad guy for you, and you still said I delayed you. Okay, buy me a ticket and I'll go back to my hometown!"
Duan Mingjie also became angry and said without hesitation, "Okay, I will buy you a ticket tomorrow!"
After saying that, Duan Mingjie went upstairs in anger.
Duan Zhiwei and Duan Yanyan stood in the back, not daring to express their anger.
Lu Yao hugged Duan Yanyan, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid. This is not the first time your third uncle and your grandma have quarreled. It will be fine tomorrow. You go up and go to bed first. You have to go to school tomorrow morning."
Duan Zhiwei held Duan Yanyan's hand, "Auntie, let's go up and sleep."
Lu Yao nodded, "Go ahead, I'll go see your grandma."
When they heard that Lu Yao was going to see their grandma, the two children went upstairs with confidence.
Lu Yao sighed, walked to Gu Fulan's bedroom door, opened the door gently, "Mom, am I coming in?"
The people inside didn't say anything. Lu Yao lit the candle in the dark and turned around to see Gu Fulan wiping tears.
Lu Yao was helpless, walked over and sat down next to her, "Mom, what Duan Mingjie said just now were all angry words, don't take it to heart."
Gu Fulan sniffed and said with a choked sob, "Isn't it for him? There are a few people who are just idle workers. If I don't watch them, others will follow suit. At this rate, in such a freshman school, when will If he can build it well but can't deliver the work on time, won't it be him who will be in trouble then?"
Lu Yao nodded, "I know, I know, don't cry anymore."
"He actually said that I was holding him back, wuwuwu——"
The more Gu Fulan talked, the more aggrieved she became, and she began to cry.
Lu Yao reached out and hugged her, "Mom, I know you are doing this for his own good, and he must know it too. Stop crying."
Gu Fulan let go of Lu Yao, "He knows shit. If he knew, he wouldn't call me a burden."
Duan Mingjie, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help it, "When did I say you were a burden? Why are you adding fuel to the fire?"
Lu Yao was stunned, "Why are you here?"
Duan Mingjie sighed.
He came down to apologize, but he heard his mother adding fuel to the fire.
Gu Fulan frowned, "You didn't say it, but that's what you meant!"
Lu Yao stood up, "Stop, everyone stop!"
Lu Yao looked at Duan Mingjie and said, "Don't talk yet."
Lu Yao sat back down and said, "Mom, I can understand your thoughts. You don't want Duan Mingjie to suffer."
Gu Fulan glared at Duan Mingjie, "Your wife is much more sensible than you!"
Duan Mingjie closed his eyes in anger, turned around and stopped talking.
"However, we have foremen at our construction site, like Fourth Uncle, Feng Wei and Lao Li. All three of them are very dedicated to their duties. Duan Mingjie also trusts them. However, your supervision in the past made them look useless."
Gu Fulan explained, "That's not what I meant."
"You definitely don't mean it this way, but can you guarantee that people won't think too much? Can you guarantee that these two or three hundred people won't think too much? If there is a talkative person who stirs up trouble in front of Fourth Uncle and the others, he will be considered as a talker. If I don’t talk about it, will I feel comfortable?”
"If the construction site does not belong to our family, and you are cooking on the construction site, and someone is sent to supervise you, how would you feel?"
Now Gu Fulan couldn't say anything to refute.
Seeing that Lu Yao had finished talking, any further words would be counterproductive, so she changed her subject, "It's quite difficult to cook for two or three hundred people. You follow Aunt Guan'er and the others to prepare the food and strictly control it." , if you don’t let everyone profit from it, you are doing Duan Mingjie a big favor. If you don’t help him, no one will really help him. Besides, your son is such a smart person, can he tolerate everyone continuing to work hard? "
After saying that, Lu Yao pulled Duan Mingjie over.
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips and apologized awkwardly, "Mom, I shouldn't have said anything to you just now, please don't be angry."
Gu Fulan glared at him, "You drove me home, but you can't help it. I'm your mother, I'm not going anywhere, I'm relying on you!"
Lu Yao lowered her head and suppressed laughter.
Sure enough, women are unreasonable, especially older women.
It was obviously the mother-in-law who wanted to go home, but now she confused the truth and said that Duan Mingjie would drive her away.
Duan Mingjie didn't want to argue with her anymore, "Okay, I was wrong."
Gu Fulan hummed twice.
Duan Mingjie sighed helplessly, "Mom, your son is not stupid, can he be allowed to work as a foreigner? After a while, I will find a few more foremans, and you can just take care of everyone's food and don't wander around the construction site. Okay, okay, I’m so old, what should I do if I get hit by something again?”
Lu Yao: "Mom, your son is worried about you."
Gu Fulan snorted, "I don't have to worry about him!"
Lu Yao laughed, knowing that her mother-in-law was no longer angry, so she said with regret, "I became the squad leader today. I thought I would wait for you to come back to tell you the good news, and we would celebrate together."
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie was overjoyed and went over to hold Lu Yao's hand. The next second, Gu Fulan slapped it away and held Lu Yao's hand with both hands, "Daughter-in-law, you have become an official!"
