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

Gu Youcai dragged Fan Cuiying along the way, slamming her against the door when they entered the house.

"Gu Youcai, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Gu Youcai glared at Fan Cuiying, startling her so much that her hand trembled, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces.

"You're over thirty years old, what were you thinking, going to Shen Lu's house to steal meat?"

Gu Youcai grabbed Fan Cuiying's wrist and questioned her sternly.

"Is it really necessary? Aren't you and Gu Xiao brothers? What's wrong with you eating a few bites of his wife's flesh!"

Gu Youcai stood there stunned, never expecting Fan Cuiying to say such shameless things.

"Our family was able to eat meat before because of me. My parents always told me that children who steal things grow up to be successful."

Seeing Fan Cuiying's unrepentant attitude, Gu Youcai was filled with rage, his heart pounding painfully. He tried his best to calm himself down.

Seeing that Gu Youcai did not react, Fan Cuiying became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.

"You've cursed and hit me time and time again because of that Shen Lu. Are you blinded by that little vixen? Maybe you and that slut have been having sex a lot while I wasn't around."

Hearing these words.

Gu Youcai could no longer hold back, raised his hand, and slapped Fan Cuiying hard across the face.

Fan Cuiying covered her face in disbelief.

"Gu Youcai, you...you hit me!"

"I've been married to you for eight years, working tirelessly for this family, and now you're hitting me for an outsider."

The memory of being slapped in public was still fresh in Fan Cuiying's mind, and she immediately erupted.

Fan Cuiying screamed, and if she were to tear at Gu Youcai's hair, she would sit on the ground, pounding her legs and crying, just like a shrew.

Gu Youcai quickly stopped her tantrum.

"You're coming with me to Shen Lu's house now, to apologize to Shen Lu, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Ze."

Fan Cuiying screamed and struggled, "No, I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize!"

"You'd be better off killing me than making me apologize to that bitch!"

Gu Youcai: "If you don't apologize, we'll get a divorce."

Fan Cuiying paused, realizing that Gu Youcai couldn't really kill her, but he would definitely divorce her.

She panicked instantly.

She couldn't get a divorce. Although they had no children, Gu Youcai not only had a proper job, but was also a manager.

Moreover, divorced women are laughed at in their village; if her parents find out she's divorced, they'll definitely beat her to death.

"No, we're not getting a divorce. It's just a matter of apologizing to Shen Lu. I'll go right now."

Gu Youcai took a deep breath and took out ten catties of meat coupons and twenty yuan from the room.

"Give this to the second son's family as an apology."

Fan Cuiying's eyes widened. After compensating Shen Lu, these things represented almost all of the family's savings.

They gave all these things to Shen Lu; how are they going to get through this winter?

"No, this is too much..." Fan Cuiying wanted to negotiate for some more, thinking that giving a small portion as a token would be enough.

She's already apologized to Shen Lu, what more does Shen Lu want?

Seeing her like this, Gu Youcai understood that she wasn't truly remorseful; she was just afraid, afraid that he would really divorce her.

Gu Youcai took a deep breath: "Take this money and go apologize to me!"

Fan Cuiying hurriedly ran to Shen Lu's house and knocked on the door.

At Shen Lu's house, Shen Lu stood at the door with her arms crossed: "Get to the point."

"Take these things. Don't mention those words again."

After saying that, Fan Cuiying stuffed everything in her hands into Shen Lu's arms, her tone full of resentment, making it seem as if Fan Cuiying was the one in the wrong.

At this moment, Gu Youcai arrived late.

"Big brother."

Shen Lu invited Gu Youcai into her home.

Shen Lu was worried that if she and Fan Cuiying got into a fight, it would leave psychological trauma on Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze, so she specially sent the two little ones back to their house.

Gu Youcai looked apologetic.

"I have learned the whole story. It was my fault for not discovering your sister-in-law's actions, which caused you and the child to suffer."

These are gifts from your sister-in-law and me. Please accept them and buy something nice for the two children.

Gu Youcai handed the crumpled banknotes and the meat ticket to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu didn't say much, accepted the money, and considered it forgiveness for Gu Youcai.

It was also to give him a way out.

Before leaving, Gu Youcai repeatedly assured that such a thing would never happen again.

Shen Lu didn't speak, assuring everyone that it's never about what you say, but what you do.

For several days after this incident, Fan Cuiying behaved herself and rarely showed up in front of her.

Shen Lu discusses teaching matters with Li Mei every day, cooks in her spare time, teaches the two children to recognize characters and do arithmetic, and insists on losing weight every day.

As the weather gets warmer, with Gu Xiaohua's help, Shen Lu finally made two short-sleeved shirts for each of the children.

I bought some more fabric, intending to continue learning how to make pants with Gu Xiaohua.

A month passed like this, during which Shen Lu submitted her translations several times, and Dean Jiang's eyes widened in amazement.

Shen Lu received many letters from her brother. In order not to arouse suspicion, Shen Lu took some time to write a letter to her brother.

The letter stated that she was prepared to take good care of the two children and would live a serious life from now on, so he shouldn't worry.

In addition, she found a job at the translation institute through her efforts.

In the past month, Shen Lu has lost a lot of weight, reaching 140 pounds, which is only slightly chubby for someone who is 1.68 meters tall.

That day, a new colleague arrived at the Translation Institute.

Just then, Shen Lu came to deliver her manuscript. The dean had some business to attend to, so Dean Jiang specially arranged for Shen Lu and Wen Xin'er to be the representatives of the educated youth to welcome the new colleague.

When Wenxin saw Shen Lu, she greeted him with a smile and jokingly started talking to him.

"I heard that our new colleague is highly educated. Shen Lu, you'd better be careful not to make a fool of yourself."

Shen Lu's face darkened, and she didn't bother with pleasantries.

"Comrade Wen really doesn't learn from his mistakes; he hasn't remembered the lesson he learned last time at all."

"Shen Lu, don't hold it against me. It was all my fault before."

Wenxin smiled awkwardly, a forced smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she and Shen Lu had a very close relationship.

"To err is human, to forgive divine." With that, Shen Lu turned and left.

Wenxin was left standing there awkwardly.

She stared at Shen Lu's back, wishing she could burn a hole through him with her gaze.

Only when the figure disappeared from sight did Wenxin'er take a step to chase after it.

The two, along with the vice dean, waited at the entrance of the Translation Institute to welcome their new colleague.

While waiting, Wenxin frequently touched her hair, and even took out a small mirror from her pocket to style it.

She hadn't forgotten the main purpose of her trip.

A car slowly drove up from not far away, and inside sat a young man in a white shirt, holding a book.

He looked around at his surroundings, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

If it weren't for...

He would never work as a translator in a place like this; he deserved better opportunities.

"Hello, I am the vice dean of the Translation Institute." The vice dean greeted the person in a businesslike manner.

"Hello, my name is Xie Sili."

The two men shook hands briefly.

Shen Lu was taken aback when she heard the name. Xie Sili, the male protagonist in the novel, did not appear at the Translation Institute until a year later.
