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

Chapter 339 The troublemakers have arrived.

It's unbearable to look at!

Zhuang Qingxiang left after she finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, Lu Congyue looked down and smiled wryly.

He was in the prime of his life, full of vigor, and it was early in the morning, and the two of them had just made up...

Any one of those reasons would be enough to make him lose his composure like he is now.

There was nothing I could do but stay inside and think about other things to calm down.

Zhuang Qingxiang was busy in the kitchen for a long time before Lu Congyue came out, followed by three little tails.

All three children woke up, so Lu Congyue had to take care of them first.

Zhuang Qingxiang prepared a portion of the freshly steamed egg cake for the three children and asked Lu Congyue to make each of them a cup of malted milk powder, which would be perfect to eat with the egg cake.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Yongxian and Shi Peiran also got up.

Sun Yongxian exclaimed, "Sister Zhuang, you've made something delicious again! The aroma is making my mouth water!"

Shi Peiran suppressed a laugh: "He was still asleep but was already drooling. He was woken up by the fragrance."

When Sun Yongxian learned that Zhuang Qingxiang had gotten up early in the morning to prepare steamed egg cakes especially for her, she was so excited that she shouted and yelled, wishing she could recognize her sister on the spot.

Lu Congyue: "Shi Peiran, you'd better be careful with Teacher Sun. Someone might take some good food and run away."

"Director Lu, you don't understand me. In my heart, no matter how delicious the food is, it's not as important as Pei Ran!" Sun Yongxian snorted.

Shi Peiran laughed: "I'll have to ask Sister Zhuang to be my apprentice when I have time, so I can learn a few tricks properly, lest my wife get kidnapped."

"Shi Peiran!" Sun Yongxian stomped her foot.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

After breakfast, Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian tidied up their things at home with the children, while Lu Congyue and Shi Peiran went to the courtyard in the alley to get Zhuang Qingxiang's things.

When they arrived, Jin Guilan was already waiting for them and had helped them pack.

"Sister Jin, I'm sorry, I didn't make you late for work, did I?" Lu Congyue greeted her with a smile.

Jin Guilan was somewhat disappointed to see that only the two men had come, and Zhuang Qingxiang hadn't.

"It's not a problem. I swapped shifts with someone today and will be working this afternoon. I'm free at lunchtime. I was thinking of chatting with Xiao Zhuang, why didn't she come?"

"I'll be there in a bit," Lu Congyue said. "I'll take these over first, and she'll come to pack the rest later."

Jin Guilan was then happy.

After she divorced Li Weixing, she stopped going to the compound because there were too many acquaintances there who would point fingers and gossip about her. She felt more comfortable if Zhuang Qingxiang came over and they could chat together.

Lu Congyue and Shi Peiran took the things back and told Zhuang Qingxiang. Zhuang Qingxiang immediately decided to go over first, so that she could chat with Sister Jin while packing her things.

"What's the rush?" Lu Congyue advised. "Sister Jin doesn't work at noon, so you have plenty of time to chat. Pack your things first, and we'll go over together in a bit. Once you're done, invite Sister Jin to have lunch with us."

Zhuang Qingxiang agreed and quickly helped Sun Yongxian pack all her clothes and bedding.

The group then set off for the courtyard in the alley.

But as soon as they entered the alley, they realized something was wrong.

A large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.

"What's going on?" Zhuang Qingxiang immediately tensed up, her first thought being that Huang Yue had come in to cause trouble.

Lu Congyue shook his head: "We seemed fine when we left. You and the children stay here and don't move. I'll go check on them."

"Yongxian and Dr. Shi will stay here and watch the child. I'll go with you!" Zhuang Qingxiang decided immediately. "I'm worried about Sister Jin!"

If Huang Yue comes in to cause trouble and accidentally injures Sister Jin, then she will be in serious trouble.

Anxious, Lu Congyue pushed through the crowd and entered the courtyard. He saw Sister Jin being held back by her two sons, unable to move. She was trembling with anger and was clearly furious.

Standing in front of them was none other than Li Weixing.

It wasn't Huang Yuejin! Zhuang Qingxiang's heart, which had just relaxed, tightened again. Without even consulting Lu Congyue, she rushed over and shouted, "What are you doing?! Let go of Sister Jin right now!!"

When Li Weixing saw Zhuang Qingxiang, he was taken aback, then immediately his face darkened: "Why are you everywhere? What business is it of yours what our family affairs are? Get lost!"

"Pah! Li Weixing, you shameless old bastard, I divorced you a long time ago! Who are we family with now?"

When Sister Jin saw Zhuang Qingxiang and Lu Congyue approaching, her courage surged, and she immediately began to hurl insults.

"Li Chao, Li Wei, let me go! I'm your mother! How dare you lay a hand on me?!"

Zhuang Qingxiang panicked upon hearing this: "You dare lay a hand on your own mother? You'll be struck by lightning sooner or later! Let go of Sister Jin right now!"

The brothers Li Chao and Li Wei showed no remorse, only helplessness and tolerance.

"Mom, how could we dare to lay a hand on you? You were the one who grabbed a stick and tried to hit someone without asking any questions. We were just afraid you'd hurt Dad," Li Chao sighed. "You've been arguing with Dad for so long, shouldn't you have vented your anger by now?"

"Yes, Mom, let's know when to stop," Li Wei added. "Dad's had a tough life too. You've both lived most of your lives; if you keep making a scene, won't the neighbors laugh at you?"

The two of them kept talking to themselves, neither of them letting go of Zhuang Qingxiang.

Li Weixing, of course, already knew that his two sons were on his side, so he smiled and said, "Guilan, we've lived a pretty good life as husband and wife these past few years. We still have a bond, don't we? I agreed to your insistence on divorcing me, and I didn't stop you from moving out, but you can't keep making a scene like this forever, can you? You're getting on in years, don't you get tired of it?"

The father and his two sons, each talking to themselves, labeled all of Jin Guilan's behavior as throwing a tantrum.

Zhuang Qingxiang was astonished: She had never seen anyone so shameless!

"Let go!"

At this moment, Lu Congyue spoke, his sharp gaze sweeping over Li Chao and Li Wei, causing the two of them to involuntarily lower their hands.

As soon as Jin Guilan regained her freedom, she couldn't wait to run to Zhuang Qingxiang's side, as if only in this way could she feel safe.

Zhuang Qingxiang took her hand and patted it: "Sister Jin, are you alright?"

Jin Guilan didn't cry when her two sons held her back, but now, hearing Zhuang Qingxiang's caring words, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She sniffed, trying to hold back her tears.

It's so embarrassing for someone her age to be crying like that!

"I'm fine." She paused for a moment, her voice slightly hoarse, and said, "They somehow found out my address and just came looking for me, saying they want Li Weixing to stay with me."

Jin Guilan glared at her two grown sons, gritting her teeth.

Don't think she didn't know that after Li Weixing was released, he initially lived with Li Chao, and later went to Li Wei's house, which didn't last more than a few days in total.

Now, none of them wanted Li Weixing to stay at their house, so after discussing it, they decided to send her here.

Is she some kind of despicable person? They're already divorced, yet she still wants her to go back to picking up trash!
