Lan Zixi helplessly winked at Zhou Lu and said softly, "I'm sorry, my mother has such a temper."

"fine."

Zhou Lu knew in his heart that Aunt Qu looked down upon these gifts.

Lan Zixi has no experience in giving gifts to parents, so she relies on searching on the Internet to prepare gifts.

But customs vary from place to place, and they also give alcohol. But her parents don't drink, and her brother is an alcoholic, but she doesn't want him to drink.

"Sister-in-law, I want a gift, I want a gift!"

"I want a gift too, I want a gift too."

Two children rushed out.

When Lan Zixi saw the two children, she knelt down affectionately with a smile on her face:

"Yes, yes, here you go. You've all grown taller. It's great."

The joyful family affection slightly dilutes the embarrassment.

"I have Spider-Man, but yours is not as big as mine,"

The little boy with a tough head and a tough brain was not very satisfied with the toy, "Sister-in-law, you still want to give me a big red envelope!"

"Okay, I will definitely give you a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year."

"No, I want it now!"

"Be good, Xiaoyang, and I will give you a red envelope during the Chinese New Year."

Lan Zixi coaxed patiently.

"No, no! If you don't give me the red envelope, get out. This house belongs to our family!"

The little boy dropped the plastic Spider-Man domineeringly, stared, pointed at Lan Zixi, and said unceremoniously.

Zhou Lu was surprised. He heard that Lan Zixi sent a lot of money to his family, and she paid most of the down payment and mortgage. How could his status at home be so low?

A naughty kid dared to challenge her and tell her to get lost.

This kind of child is particularly annoying. They follow their example, and their parents and elders are their role models.

What the child said was probably because his parents often said similar things in private on weekdays, and the child imitated them.

Lan Zixi earns extra money while working hard and live-streaming. She doesn't even take a break during holidays, so she can make a lot of money.

But apart from their own living expenses and rent, most of them are sent home to help their parents supplement the family income.

How much can the elderly use? The so-called subsidizing the parents' family income is ultimately to subsidize the brother's family.

She said that her brother was an alcoholic, a gambler, and a lazy man. He had recently lost his job, and his sister-in-law stopped working and was unable to make ends meet.

Not to mention the mortgage, he can't even afford to raise his two children.

The money Lan Zixi sent back is an important financial support for the family.

The family should be very grateful to Lan Zixi.

But what Zhou Lu sees now is exactly the opposite.

Zhou Lu was surprised that Sister Zixi dedicated herself to the big family, but the family didn't seem to appreciate it.

It seems that she still feels that she owes her family.

Not only did she not respect her boyfriend who came from afar, she also had to be scolded by a child, while her mother, Aunt Qu, turned a blind eye.

Yes, Sister Zixi needs a lot of investment and capital reserves to start a business. She was defrauded of four million. She probably won't have any money to send back during this period.

If you don’t send any money for the time being, why do you want to show off?

Family love is such a wonderful thing.

It is obvious that Lan Zixi cannot let go of this kind of family affection. She seems to be used to this pattern.

She glanced at Zhou Lu embarrassedly, but still said kindly: "Xiaoyang, you can't drive my sister-in-law away, this is my sister-in-law's home too."

"This is not your home, this is my home!"

Xiaoyang remained angry.

"How about you eat some candy first? I'll go out to buy you something delicious later."

Lan Zixi changed the topic and continued to coax.

"Then you keep your word." Xiaoyang finally stopped.

"Where are your parents?"

"Dad is out, mom is in the room."

Don't you come out of the room to take care of your son?

What woman?

Zhou Lu shook his head slightly, feeling sad for Lan Zixi.

"Why are you shaking your head? Do you think my son is bad?"

A gorgeously dressed woman walked out of the room and looked at Zhou Lu displeased.

Lan Zixi introduced: "Sister-in-law, this is my boyfriend."

"Hey, is he really your boyfriend? I thought he was the delivery guy, haha."

The sister-in-law glanced at the gifts sent by Zhou Lu, with undisguised disdain in her eyes.

She insinuated: "What are they all? I mean, Zi Xi, the boys who went on a blind date with you or chased you in the past can't all drive luxury cars, but at least they all have cars. Why do you find one to let you sit as a mistress?"

Reincarnation? Don’t you think it’s shabby?”

She had just seen Zhou Lu and Lan Zixi get off the tricycle on the balcony, and concluded that Zhou Lu did not have a car.

Chi Cuiqing, two years older than Lan Zixi, is the sister-in-law. Her face is unrecognizable on the street, and after makeup, she looks a bit more tacky and charming.

Lan Zixi introduced her in the car. She was harsh and sensitive, and she often quarreled not only with her husband, but also with her parents-in-law.

Lan Zixi told me to tolerate it as much as possible.

Lan Zixi knew very well that her sister-in-law Chi Cuiqing felt very uncomfortable when she found out that she had brought her boyfriend back, and she didn't like anything about Zhou Lu.

The reason is that her sister-in-law has been in contact with her in the past two months, saying that she wants to marry her to a newly rich man.

Chi Zheng, the name of the suddenly rich man, was from the same village as his sister-in-law Chi Cuiqing and was also a junior high school classmate of Lan Zixi.

It is said that he has become prosperous in the steel business in recent years, and his net worth is tens of millions.

Driving a Range Rover, returning home in rich clothes, and building a luxurious villa, the scenery is very beautiful.

Lan Zixi couldn't remember Chi Zheng's face, but she vaguely remembered his name.

Because when Chi Zheng was in middle school, he wrote love letters to her and pursued her, but she rejected him.

Seeing her sister-in-law repeatedly mocking Zhou Lu, Lan Zixi felt angry no matter how good-tempered she was.

She asked back: "My brother doesn't have a car either. Did you feel shabby when you married him?"

Chi Cuiqing was stunned and changed her face: "Of course I'm poor. If that damn guy hadn't given you so many promises, I wouldn't have married into a broken family like yours. I'd marry here and give birth to two children for your family, and I'd get nothing out of it."

, and you said this to me, am I wronged?"

Chi Cuiqing's fierce attitude is vividly displayed.

She stared with anger, not paying attention to the cheap powder on her face, which was falling slightly.

Aunt Qu from the kitchen came out and tried to break up the fight: "Okay, okay, if outsiders are here, just say a few words. Zi Xi, your sister-in-law has done a great job in adding a child to our family. You are not allowed to talk to your sister-in-law like this again in the future!"

When Lan Zixi heard her mother say this, she could only take a deep breath, endure the anger and grievance in her heart, no longer refute, and walked to the bathroom with her head lowered.

Zhou Lu noticed that Lan Zixi's eyes were red and moist. Knowing that she didn't want him to see it, he ran to the bathroom to wipe away her tears.

It's really distressing.

At this time,

A man who looked about thirty years old opened the door and came back smelling strongly of alcohol.

He looks somewhat similar to Lan Zixi, but his overall appearance is very different from Lan Zixi's.

His eyes were dim and his complexion was sallow. The pimples on his face may not have been dealt with well, and the pimples on his face looked like the surface of the moon, which completely offset his good face shape.

If your guess is correct, this is Lan Zixi’s brother, Lan Baoming.
