After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

After closing the door, Fan Cuiying rummaged through drawers and cabinets looking for her silver comb, but she couldn't find it anywhere.

She felt a wave of regret. How could she have been so stupid as to leave the silver comb at Shen Lu's house?

When Shen Lu returned home, she couldn't help but laugh when she recalled Fan Cuiying's embarrassed state.

That silver comb was dropped by Fan Cuiying during their argument on the back hill that day.

She hadn't found a suitable opportunity to return it, but she never expected that keeping it in her possession could be used to extort Fan Cuiying.

The two little ones were sitting on the floor doing their homework when they heard Shen Lu laugh, and they looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Mom, what are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?"

Xiao Yu's crisp "Mama" made Shen Lu even happier, and she went over and patted the two little ones' heads.

"Today, Mom will teach you an idiom, which means 'walking into a trap'."

Before Shen Lu could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock..."

Shen Lu smiled, realizing that with just a casual provocation, Fan Cuiying couldn't sit still.

"Sister-in-law, are you home?" Fan Cuiying's voice came from outside the gate.

Shen Lu pretended not to hear and continued checking the two kids' homework.

Today I only taught some simple pinyin. The two little ones were very serious and wrote in their own unique ways. Xiaoyu's writing was crooked and crooked, and Xiaoze's strokes were stiff.

Shen Lu then explained to the two little ones how to write pinyin before opening the door.

Fan Cuiying was looking around anxiously, afraid that someone would see the few pieces of meat in her bowl.

So much so that Shen Lu almost fell inside when she opened the door.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Tell me what's wrong."

Shen Lu blocked the doorway, showing no intention of letting Fan Cuiying into the house.

Fan Cuiying smiled ingratiatingly, holding up the bowl in her hands: "Here, I brought you some stewed meat, try it, it's delicious!"

Shen Lu looked down and saw three or four dark, fleshy lumps covered in filth, as if they had fallen to the ground, making her lose all appetite.

Shen Lu did not take the bowl from Fan Cuiying's hand. Instead, she pulled Fan Cuiying outside the family compound and spoke directly to her.

"Sister-in-law, please speak frankly. I have other things to attend to."

"Look, I had a silver comb, and I don't know when it went missing from my house. I was so careless. That thief was really brazen, stealing from my house and then from yours."

As Fan Cuiying spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, her eyes fixed intently on Shen Lu.

Shen Lu pretended to suddenly realize something.

"Sister-in-law, do you mean there's a thief here who steals our pork and your silver comb without warning?"

Having heard the answer she wanted, Fan Cuiying slapped her thigh.

"That's right, when he stole your pork, he left behind my silver comb. Give me back my silver comb first."

Shen Lu shook her head.

"That won't do. This is evidence. I need to go and tell the captain of the guard team right away that this matter must be thoroughly investigated."

After saying that, Shen Lu was about to leave when Fan Cuiying panicked. If something was found out, she would be finished anyway.

In a moment of desperation, Fan Cuiying thought of something and stood in front of Shen Lu.

"Hey, sister-in-law, don't worry... We mustn't provoke this thief. Your husband is usually not home, it's just you and the two little ones at home, it's too dangerous."

"Then when Gu Xiao comes back, I'll tell him, okay?"

Fan Cuiying shuddered involuntarily when she thought of Gu Xiao's reputation. Even her husband was afraid of Gu Xiao, let alone her.

Upon seeing Gu Xiao, she would surely be so frightened that she would confess everything.

"No, no, we wives shouldn't cause our husbands distress."

"This won't do, that won't do. Does my sister-in-law mean I'll give you the silver comb and that's it?"

Hearing Shen Lu say this, Fan Cuiying's eyes lit up.

"We're thinking the same thing. Oh well, sometimes suffering a loss is a blessing in disguise."

"Suffering a loss is a blessing, is that right? Then I wish you boundless happiness."

Fan Cuiying wasn't very educated, and it took her a long time to realize that Shen Lu wanted her to keep suffering losses.

"You brat, who are you calling a liar? Do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart?!"

"Why aren't you pretending anymore? Aren't you afraid I'll go to the captain of the guards and expose you?" Shen Lu said coldly.

Fan Cuiying's arrogance vanished instantly, and she began to appeal to Shen Lu's emotions.

"We're all family, so we shouldn't be so formal. Don't make things too difficult for me."

Shen Lu gave a cold laugh.

"When you were spreading rumors about me, you didn't think we were family; when you stole meat from my house, you didn't think we were family. Now you've remembered?"

Fan Cuiying choked.

"I didn't make a mistake for a moment, just pretend you didn't see it this time."

Fan Cuiying knew Shen Lu well; she was proud and concerned about her reputation. She had often come to take meat before, and Shen Lu would see it but not say anything, acting as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Shen Lu hadn't spoken for a long time, Fan Cuiying thought she was going to agree and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Shen Lu say something.

"It's not just this time you stole our meat; considering what you said to Xiaoyu and Xiaoze before, we're settling all the old scores!"

Fan Cuiying's eyes widened, unable to believe what she had just heard.

If all these things were exposed, would she even want to live?

Looking at the obese and sluggish Shen Lu, Fan Cuiying recalled how Shen Lu used to be so weak that she couldn't even lift a bundle of firewood.

With a determined heart, he decided to snatch it from Shen Lu by force.

As long as the silver comb isn't in Shen Lu's possession, there's no way to prove anything!

Fan Cuiying had just taken a step forward when she was pulled back by a strong force.

"you……"

Just as Fan Cuiying was about to turn around and start cursing, she saw Shen Lu stand up and push her away.

The training these past few days has given Shen Lu a lot of control over her body, making her more than capable of dealing with Fan Cuiying.

Fan Cuiying immediately chickened out. She forced a smile and pretended to be stupid.

"We're family, no need for formalities. I'm your sister-in-law, let's go inside and talk things out. We can't let outsiders laugh at us."

"No need to come inside. I'll make things clear to you right here today. I won't hold your stealing of pork against you. Two pounds of pork isn't worth much."

But you need to give me an explanation for bullying Xiaoyu and Xiaoze, and for spreading rumors about me everywhere.”

Shen Lu did this to let the two little ones know that no one would ever bully them again.

Whether it's an adult or a child, a relative or a stranger.

With her as their mother, they will always stand behind them and support them!

Furthermore, Shen Lu is not someone who can be easily bullied or manipulated.

Just as Gu's mother and eldest brother approached, they heard Shen Lu's resounding voice.

"What happened?" Gu Youcai rushed over in three steps.

"Brother, I think what Shen Lu just said was clear enough. If you can't manage your family, I don't mind letting the captain of the guard team handle this matter."

"Don't worry, I will definitely give my sister-in-law and two nephews an explanation."

Gu Youcai's face was grim. He grabbed Fan Cuiying's arm and forcibly dragged her back to the Gu family home.
