A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 316 You Have to Coax Your Wife When She's Angry

This is a difficult question to answer.

Lu Congyue had indeed angered Zhuang Qingxiang, but he couldn't tell the little girl.

Given the girl's inquisitive nature, she'll probably keep asking until she finds out why he upset Zhuang Qingxiang, and then she'll turn around and ask him why he did that to upset Zhuang Qingxiang.

So Lu Congyue remained silent, pretending he hadn't heard.

Xiao Luyue asked twice more, and when she saw that Lu Congyue ignored her, she became angry.

She wanted to shout at him if he was deaf, because he couldn't hear her.

But she didn't dare to speak loudly. Her mother was right in front of her, and if her mother was unhappy, her mother might get angry if she spoke loudly at this moment.

Xiao Luyue crossed her arms in front of her chest, puffing out her cheeks to show how angry she was.

Even after arriving at their new home, the little girl's anger hadn't subsided.

Once inside the courtyard, Xiao Luyue became even more unhappy.

This place is not as nice as their current home; it's not as big, nor as clean and bright.

Why does Mom insist on moving here?

Sigh... Oh well, what can I do? She's my mother.

Xiao Luyue decided not to say anything and just spoil her own mother.

Zhuang Qingxiang saw it as soon as she entered the room; the watermarks on the floor were still wet, indicating that Lu Congyue had just mopped the floor.

The original owner had been living there and just sold the house and left, so the house is in good condition and ready to live in.

The large bundle she had packed herself had already been placed in the east room. Zhuang Qingxiang looked at the wardrobe left by the original owner. It was alright, quite sturdy, and had been wiped clean.

Zhuang Qingxiang immediately started packing clothes and putting them in the closet.

Lu Congyue was about to ask if he needed help when he heard Zhuang Qingxiang say in a low voice, "There are still some things I forgot to bring. Would it be alright if Director Lu made another trip? If it's too much trouble, I can move them myself tomorrow."

"No trouble at all." What else could Lu Congyue say but make another trip?

There was only a bed here, not a kang (heated brick bed). Zhuang Qingxiang moved the bed against the wall so that the two children wouldn't fall off while sleeping.

After packing her clothes, Zhuang Qingxiang went to check on the west room again.

The west room has also been tidied up; it's very clean and has a bed, a cabinet, and a desk.

It would be very suitable for Sister Jin to stay here. If Sister Jin cannot stay here, it would also be very suitable for Sun Yongxian and her husband to stay here.

If everyone comes to stay, it won't work. She had a good plan, but the place is really not big enough, and there are no extra rooms. She can't let the couple stay in the main room, can she?

After Lu Congyue finished one trip, he made another, and on this last trip, he even brought Sister Jin along.

Sister Jin looked at the west room and was very satisfied.

Anyway, she lives alone, so one room is enough for her.

She was even happier living with Zhuang Qingxiang, and she didn't want to move to a strange place and live with strangers.

only……

"Xiao Zhuang, why did you suddenly move out? Did that bastard Li Weixing cause trouble for Director Lu? Did he stop you from living in the staff quarters?"

Zhuang Qingxiang simply refused to answer any questions she couldn't answer, instead changing the subject: "Sister Jin, when can you move in?"

"It's definitely not possible today. I haven't even packed yet. Every day, once I start work, I don't have time to think about it..." Jin Guilan sighed, glanced at Lu Congyue standing outside the door, and then asked in a troubled voice, "Xiao Zhuang, are you really going to let me move in? Won't it... won't it affect you two..."

Zhuang Qingxiang didn't look in Lu Congyue's direction, but simply said, "He doesn't live here."

Jin Guilan was shocked: "What? You moved out with your three children? Why? Director Lu couldn't have made a mistake too, could he?"

Zhuang Qingxiang still didn't answer, but asked, "Sister Jin, when are you going to finish the formalities and move in? I'm really looking forward to you moving in."

"Almost there, almost there," Jin Guilan replied.

Jin Guilan was dying of curiosity.

Why are this seemingly perfect couple separating? What happened?

Curious as she was, she was very sensible and, seeing that neither Zhuang Qingxiang nor Lu Congyue would say anything, she didn't press the matter further.

In her opinion, the couple had always had a good relationship, and Director Lu was a doting husband. Everyone in the compound knew that Director Lu would stay home to wash clothes and diapers whenever he had a day off.

They're probably just having a fight, and they'll probably move back in a few days.

As they walked towards the compound together, Jin Guilan couldn't help but advise, "Director Lu, I have to give you some advice. Xiao Zhuang is so beautiful and gentle that she's so angry she's run away from home with her child. You have a big problem. I won't ask what happened specifically, but you have to appease her. You can't let Xiao Zhuang stay angry for too long. If she stays angry, your feelings will fade, you know?"

Lu Congyue responded with a wry smile. Once back in the courtyard, he whispered, "Sister Jin, you've seen the situation with Qingxiang. If possible, could you move in with her as soon as possible? I'm really worried about them."

"Okay, I'll start packing tonight," Sister Jin readily agreed. "I'll try... the day after tomorrow, I'll move in then!"

"Thank you," Lu Congyue said in a deep voice.

After parting ways with Jin Guilan, Lu Congyue returned to his home.

The leftover food was still on the table, but the used bowls and chopsticks had been washed and put away.

The food was definitely saved for him, which made Lu Congyue feel a little better, at least she was still concerned that he hadn't eaten.

Yes, that must be it!

However, he didn't want to eat.

The house is too spacious and too quiet; the quietness is unsettling.

I can't stand being at home for even a second without Zhuang Qingxiang!

Lu Congyue turned around and went out again, not riding a bicycle, but wandering around the streets.

Around 8 o'clock, I wandered outside the courtyard and pressed my ear against the gate for a long time, where I could faintly hear children's laughter.

He pouted and squatted down in the corner, feeling sullen.

Jin Guilan couldn't move in for the next couple of days, and he was worried about Huang Yuejin, so this was the only way he could protect his family.

The whole night passed peacefully.

Lu Congyue was woken up by someone.

"Who are you? Why are you sleeping here?" an old man asked, waking him up.

Lu Congyue hurriedly stood up and smiled politely: "Uncle, my family just moved here."

He pointed to the gate of the courtyard.

The old man's expression stiffened, and his brows furrowed: "I heard the commotion yesterday, and someone really did move in... Is this the house you bought?"

"That's my wife!" Lu Congyue said hurriedly. "She was exhausted from moving yesterday and probably hasn't woken up yet."

The old man shook his head, thinking that this family was really stupid to dare to buy this house. It was only because Huang Yuejin was away these past two days that things would have turned out so badly.

And is this man stupid? Why doesn't he go home to sleep, but instead sleeps at his doorstep?

The old man suddenly remembered something and laughed: "Did you upset your wife and get kicked out? Sigh, you young people are really good at making a fuss. Come on, let me knock on the door for you and have a good talk with your wife."

Before Lu Congyue could react, he raised his hand and banged on the door.
