Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 141

It was nothing more than her complaining about how miserable her life was, how she ended up marrying a man like Lu Jianguo, and how she ended up with sons like Lu Ting and Lu Jiefang.

She kept going on and on about how much she regretted it.

She shouldn’t have given birth to so many sons, and she shouldn’t have married Lu Jianguo.

Whenever Lu Jianguo heard this kind of talk from her, his ears were almost calloused, but he didn’t take it to heart.

Lu Jianguo’s indifferent attitude actually irritated Old Mrs. Lu.

Old Mrs. Lu kept cursing and nagging.

Once a woman gets old, their temper seems to worsen.

She was completely different from the Old Mrs. Lu of the past.

One wonders how other people’s wife manage to maintain the same gentleness for forty years.

Lu Jianguo suddenly thought about the person who was matched to him back then.

The two people who had matchmaking with him were Li Pandi from the Li family and Wang Zhaodi, the daughter of the Wang family.

Li Pandi and Wang Zhaodi were the same age at the time, and both came from families with many siblings. Wang Zhaodi was thinner than Li Pandi and had a delicate, frail look about her.

At that time, Lu Jianguo’s mother thought that a woman with a small butt like Wang Zhaodi couldn’t give birth to sons, so she didn’t let Wang Zhaodi marry into family and chose Li Pandi instead.

But now looking at it, Wang Zhaodi has married into the Chen family next door.

In these forty years, Wang Zhaodi has never had any conflict with the Chen family. She has always been diligently taking care of the Chen family.

But when Lu Jianguo looks at his own wife Li Pandi now, this Li Pandi has turned into such a shrew.

Lu Jianguo now really regrets it.

If he had known earlier, he should have chosen Wang Zhaodi instead of Li Pandi.

These two women were obviously the same age and had similar family backgrounds, so how come their tempers differed so much over these forty years?

Li Pandi just keeps complaining endlessly.

When she was young, she complained that he couldn’t earn a lot of money and couldn’t give her a better life. Now that she’s old, she’s started regretting marrying him and doesn’t want to give birth to any more children for him.

Lu Jianguo just sits on the doorstep all day long, smoking and sighing. He’s completely helpless towards Li Pandi.

“Don’t think that by not saying anything, everything is fine. Look at you, you’re like this every day. You are just a good-for-nothing who can’t even fart even if I hit you with half a stick. How could I have been so blind to marry you?

Look at the sons we’ve had. Every one of them is so rebellious and disobedient. Now even the eldest Lu Jiefang is like this. What did he say just now? He just said he’s not going to eat.

I knew he was that kind of person. We had an agreement that he would eat the watermelon with us, but I just sent Lu Ting away, and he reacted this way to me.

I just can’t believe that he really wants to find Lu Ting. He must have something to ask Lu Ting for, so he did that.”

How could Li Pandi not know what kind of person her son is?

She just doesn’t understand how Lu Ting, who is crippled in both legs, can still help Lu Jiefang.

Lu Ting is just a useless cripple man. He’s completely helpless now.

A person like Lu Ting, not only can’t he find a wife, even if he had one, he would just run away.

Lu Ting is really useless. He was just asked to work in the county, and he actually managed to break his legs. He doesn’t even know how to watch his step. How can his eyes be so bad that he doesn’t see the ground in front of him?

“You just shut up. Look at this whole family now, it’s not even a family anymore. After the second son left, now even Lu Ting has distanced himself from us. Don’t you know you need to reflect on your own mistakes?”

TL: Old Mrs. Lu’s name is Li Pandi
