Chapter 110 -110 Age 30

Seeing that mealtime had arrived, the whole Lu Family had returned, and Mrs. Lu couldn’t stop smiling with joy, yet she worried about her triplets.

Ever since the little ones had learned to crawl, they could hardly be considered well-behaved anymore; the moment you looked away, one of them would vanish without a trace.

Mrs. Lu instructed, “Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xue, play with your brothers and sisters, and help grandma keep an eye on them while I cook.”

“Don’t worry, grandma, I’ll watch over my brothers and sisters carefully.”

“Don’t worry, grandma,” the sisters said in unison.

Su Sanya felt embarrassed just sitting around waiting for food, so she followed Mrs. Lu off the Kang to help with the cooking.

Jiang Nan had heard what the mother-in-law said earlier and felt stifled. Her mother-in-law’s eyes were only for the triplets.

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became until she pinched Brother Lu, who was talking with his brothers, quite hard.

“Hiss~”

Brother Lu was suddenly pinched and quickly covered his waist, wincing as he looked at his wife, “What’s wrong, wife? Who’s upset you now?”

Jiang Nan felt annoyed being stared at by the Lu family men and both sister-in-laws.

She glared and snapped, “What do you mean ‘what’s wrong again?’ I don’t feel like dealing with you.”

Brother Lu, bewildered by the unexpected scolding, scratched his head, feeling completely in the dark about his wife’s increasingly unpredictable temper.

Susu wasn’t aware that the elder sister-in-law was upset over her children. While chatting with her youngest brother’s wife, Xiaoxiao, she also kept an eye on the children’s movements.

Mrs. Lu, hearing the vague noises from next door, frowned. “Why does it sound like the eldest and his wife are arguing again?”

Seeing her husband squinting and ignoring her, Mrs. Lu nudged her man, “Hey, listen, isn’t that the eldest and his wife arguing?”

“It’s nothing; we should stay out of the younger couple’s business,” he responded.

“If it weren’t for the fact that the eldest has lost weight, I wouldn’t bother worrying,” Mrs. Lu slapped her husband, upset and puzzled about what could be wrong with the elder daughter-in-law during the New Year.

Brother Lu rubbed his head, feeling agitated. Why did his wife always feel his parents favored sons over daughters?

“Look at how mother treats the second brother’s family compared to us. It’s outright favoritism.”

“The sisters have grown up without much affection from grandma.”

“Enough, our parents aren’t like that, and you shouldn’t think about things that aren’t true.”

“How can you say they aren’t true? Look at how my parents treat me when I come home, and then look at their attitude toward the second brother’s family. It’s just too—”

“Enough!”

Brother Lu, choked with anger and his chest heaving, lowered his voice out of fear of being heard by the parents. His tone was somewhat harsh.

“People react to each other. If you don’t get along with my parents, I’ll avoid coming home too often to spare both sides the discomfort.

The thing is, the second brother and sister-in-law are dutiful to my parents, so naturally, my parents might favor them a bit. It’s human nature. You can’t expect to have all the good things to yourself.”

Jiang Nan stood there dumbfounded, staring at the man with a stern face, pounding his chest with her fists as tears streamed down her face.

“You bastard…”

…

On New Year’s Eve, the family was all up early, bustling to prepare the chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

With Xiao Yu and his siblings watching over the triplets, Susu confidently took over the cooking tasks, while Mrs. Lu, Lu Xiaomei, and Su Sanya prepared the side dishes and assisted.

The Lu family men, consisting of four members, were making dumplings in the east room since only Father Lu was at home before the New Year.

Aunt Su and Uncle Su’s families brought over some dumplings, which was just enough for the large family to have one meal.

Jiang Nan lay alone in the room sulking, accustomed to the men always taking the initiative to coax her, yet this time her man hadn’t approached her.

Listening to the joyful laughter and chatter outside, Jiang Nan kicked the blanket in frustration.

“Asshole!”

As a result, no one came to check on her all morning. Jiang Nan’s eyes reddened with anger as she felt completely wronged—her entire family didn’t seem to care about her.

By noon, with the crackling of firecrackers outside and the fragrance of delicious food wafting from every household, everyone was joyfully starting their New Year’s Eve dinner.

Even the slowest members of the Lu Family noticed that there was something wrong between Brother Lu and his wife. Susu, naturally not wanting to invite rejection, simply asked the two girls to call their mother for dinner.

Brother Lu, not wanting to sour the festive mood of the entire family on New Year’s Day, got up and went back to his room.

“Wife, get up and get ready. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Jiang Nan huffed coldly but, seeing her husband come in, she climbed down the pole and got herself glammed up, not wanting to be outdone by the Chongxi Sister-in-law.

The whole family gathered around a large table, giving a thumbs up to each of the impressive dishes laid out.

“Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are incredible. It’s no wonder you can run a restaurant,” the third child said, his eyes gleaming as he devoured a piece of braised pork.

…

Susu was all smiles as everyone took turns complimenting her.

“Ah, ah.”

“Ah.”

Up on the kang bed, the triplets watched everyone around the dining table, reaching out with their little hands.

Seeing her drooling children, Susu picked out thin slices of meat for each triplet, and the three siblings gnawed away contently.

During the meal, Brother Lu and his wife barely spoke aside from taking care of their two girls.

To the family’s shock, it was always Brother Lu who would back down and coax his wife, but this time he stubbornly held to his cold war stance without giving in.

Mrs. Lu sighed, knowing her own son too well. It must have been that the elder daughter-in-law said something too extreme, otherwise, given her son’s affection for his wife, the couple surely wouldn’t have been in a cold war for such a long time.

The sisters could sense that their parents were a bit off today, but they couldn’t quite put their fingers on what exactly was strange.

Xiao Xue scratched her head, “Sister, why do Mom and Dad seem weird?”

“It’s nothing.”

Xiao Yu reassured her younger sister, feeling a bit worried herself. It seemed like she overheard her parents arguing last night as she was falling asleep.

By evening,

The siblings, after finishing dinner, excitedly put on new clothes. Even the triplets had changed into festive red outfits.

“Oh, my dear grandbabies, you all look like the children from the New Year paintings. So adorable!”

Mrs. Lu couldn’t stop smiling as she inspected the three boys, “Do you like them? Grandma chose this fabric because it’s so festive.”

Jiang Nan frowned, her face turned cold at the sight of the clothes Grandma had made for the triplets, noticing that Grandma hadn’t made any clothes for her own daughter.

If Mrs. Lu knew what her elder daughter-in-law thought, she’d spit in disdain. After all, whatever she made, it was either criticized for having an ugly color or being unattractive.

“Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year, wishing you prosperity, good health, and all the best.”

“Ah~”

Father Lu and Mrs. Lu, looking at their well-behaved grandchildren, were so pleased that their eyes almost disappeared into their smiles. They handed out red envelopes, which had been prepared in advance, to each of the grandkids.

“And here’s for our Pingping and An’an, An’an and Lele.”

“Thank you, Grandma.”

Susu waved the little ones’ hands.

“Ah, ah.”

Though the three siblings didn’t understand what red envelopes were, it didn’t stop the little ones from clutching them tightly.
