Family? Who is your family?

Zhu Ruru rolled her eyes in her heart.

I wish Hongjiang and Mr. Liang that although they have been more peaceful these days, they have not caused any trouble.

But have they forgotten all the words and things they said and done before?

"No need, just sit at the table by yourselves! After all, we haven't eaten in the same pot for a long time. I'm not used to it!"

Zhu Ruru directly rejected Zhu Hongjiang's proposal to sit at the same table with Mr. Liang.

Sitting at the same table with them, no matter how good your appetite is, you probably won't be able to eat much.

Zhu Ruru refused so bluntly, which made Zhu Hongjiang and Liang feel somewhat unnatural, but unexpectedly they did not insist any more.

He just said: "Niece Ruru, how can I not get used to what you said?"

"...Okay, if you don't want to sit with us, my second uncle won't force you."

Then, they found a place to sit down.

Zhu Ruru ignored them and sat down with Tang Qinglan and others.

After a while, the banquet officially started.

Although the dishes are not very good, they include fish and meat, and the portions of each dish are quite sufficient. Yes.

For most of the people here, it’s pretty good.

It has been a long time since Zhu Hongjiang and his family had eaten such a "lavish" meal. As soon as the dishes were served, Zhu Hongjiang, Liang and Zhu Caiyan's eyes lit up.

Without waiting for others at the table to do anything, they took the lead in picking up their chopsticks to "grab" the food.

Especially for Zhu Caiyan, within a short time, there was already a mountain of food in the bowl, and then he started gobbling it up like a hungry dog.

Zhu Caiqi on the side looked at it and frowned.

"Ayan, can't you eat more slowly? Be careful of choking later!"

As soon as Zhu Caiqi finished speaking, Zhu Caiyan was choked and suddenly started coughing. After a while, his face turned red.

"Yan'er, are you okay?"

Mrs. Liang stuffed two chopsticks into her mouth, then put down her chopsticks to see how Zhu Caiyan was doing.

Seeing how uncomfortable he was being choked, I quickly patted his back and struggled for a while before helping him spit out the piece of meat that was choked in his esophagus.

"Yan'er, be careful when you eat."

Zhu Caiyan glared at Zhu Caiqi, "It's all my fault, brother. If he hadn't been talking about me there, I wouldn't have been choked!"

Mrs. Liang also felt that Zhu Caiyan's choking was related to Zhu Caiqi talking about him, so she also glared at Zhu Caiqi reproachfully.

Zhu Caiqi: "..."

Zhu Ruru, who was at the table next to her, naturally heard what was happening on their side. She raised her eyes and glanced at Zhu Caiqi sympathetically. Of course, she didn't say anything.

…

After the meal, Zhu Ruru, Tang Qinglan, did not stay long, and Zhu Hongjiang and Ye Shi said goodbye and left.

Before he could even walk out of the yard, he was stopped by Mr. Liang who was chasing him.

"Sister-in-law, niece Ruru, please wait a moment."

Zhu Ruru raised her eyes and glanced at Mr. Liang, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "What's the matter with you?"

Liang didn't care about Zhu Ruru's cold eyes and had a smile on her face.

"That's right, niece Ruru, and sister-in-law, I'm here to apologize to you."

"I used to say some unflattering words. Hongjiang and I have been feeling very guilty during this period."

"We feel that we still need to formally apologize to you. I'm sorry, and I hope you can forgive us."

Zhu Ruru and Tang Qinglan looked at each other.

Obviously, neither of them expected that Mrs. Liang would actually apologize to them.

However, Zhu Ruru didn't think Liang was sincere.

Her eyes fell on Mrs. Liang and looked straight into her eyes.

Ms. Liang felt a little guilty when Zhu Ruru looked at her with such direct eyes, "Niece Ruru, you, why are you looking at me like this? I sincerely apologize to you."

"Oh, okay, we understand." Zhu Ruru said lightly.

"Then you and your sister-in-law won't blame us anymore, right?" Ms. Liang asked with a smile.

"Let's see it later." Zhu Ruru replied lightly. After saying this, she didn't want to pay attention to Liang anymore and turned to leave.

However, Mrs. Liang suddenly stopped in front of them with a lunge.

"Sister-in-law, niece Ruru, please wait a moment!"

Zhu Ruru frowned slightly.

There was a hint of impatience in his tone: "What's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Liang smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing special. Sister-in-law, niece Ruru, can you lend me some money?"

Zhu Ruru: “…”

If she hadn't known that there was nothing wrong with her hearing, Zhu Ruru would have thought that she had heard wrongly.

Mr. Liang actually asked her to borrow money?

She said that during this period, Zhu Hongjiang and Liang seemed to have suddenly changed their genders and become different people.

It turned out that he actually wanted to borrow money from her!

Tang Qinglan also didn't expect that Liang called her and Zhu Ruru to borrow money from them, and she was startled.

Seeing Mrs. Liang looking at her, her eyes flashed and she said, "I'm sorry, second brother and sister, our family doesn't have much money either. Ru Ru bought a carriage yesterday and almost all the money was spent."

Tang Qinglan learned from Zhu Ruru that she still had some savings, but Tang Qinglan did not want to lend the money to her second siblings and their family.

However, Tang Qinglan was not very good at lying. As soon as she said these words, Mrs. Liang could tell that she was trying to prevaricate her.

"Sister-in-law, you may be able to lie to others, but you can't lie to me. Who doesn't know that Ru Ru of your family is a capable person. She has many ways to get money. How could she buy a horse and then run out of money?"

"I don't need to borrow too much, just twenty or thirty taels."

Zhu Ruru suddenly burst into laughter.

I have to say that Mr. Liang’s face is thicker than the city wall!

You have to borrow dozens of taels with just one mouthful, and this "borrow" may not be returned one day.

"Sorry, I won't lend it! Not to mention tens of taels, I won't lend you a penny!"

Zhu Ruru refused directly.

The smile on Mrs. Liang's face suddenly froze.

Then he smiled again and said with a flattering tone, "Niece Ruru, can I beg you? I am begging you, second aunt."

Zhu Ruru's face was cold and stern, "If you don't want to borrow it, you won't. It's useless if you beg me."

"Get out of the way, don't block me here."

If Liang hadn't blocked the courtyard door, Zhu Ruru wouldn't have wanted to say any more nonsense to her.

Liang suddenly knelt down with a "plop" sound.

When she knelt down, Tang Qinglan beside her was suddenly startled.

She didn't expect that Mrs. Liang would go to this extent just to borrow some money. This was not like her usual temperament.

Thinking of this, Tang Qinglan frowned.

"Second brother and sister, what are you doing? Why do you need so much money? But what happened?"

At this time, Zhu Honghe and Ye had already noticed the movement here and came over.

They also learned that Mr. Ye wanted to borrow money.

"Yes, second sister-in-law, why do you want to borrow so much money? Please tell sister-in-law and niece Ruru quickly."

When their second wife first arrived here, they were also allocated a house, so it was far from their turn to build a house.
