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

After being relentlessly accused by the three, Shen Lu, whose mind had just woken up, became much clearer and immediately switched to a fighting stance.

Shen Lu's gaze passed over the three people and landed on the last one, the director of the Women's Federation.

She was a middle-aged woman with a pair of frameless glasses that were rare for that era, and a Women's Federation armband on her right arm. She exuded a serious aura.

She stepped forward, holding a notebook and pen, and scrutinized Shen Lu with a critical gaze.

"You're Shen Lu?"

Shen Lu met the gaze of the Women's Federation director without flinching, her voice neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hello, Director, I am Shen Lu."

The director of the Women's Federation held a notebook, writing something down as she spoke to Shen Lu.

"Your mother-in-law's family accuses you of beating your own child, maliciously harming your mother-in-law, and living in an extremely unsanitary environment. What do you have to say about that?"

Hearing the Women's Federation director's businesslike inquiry, and considering her attitude, Shen Lu could roughly deduce that she was a reasonable and principled person.

Shen Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Fan Cuiying and the other woman had acted so confidently that Shen Lu was worried that the Women's Federation director was on their side.

Shen Lu's mind works quickly; after a moment's thought, she gives a clear and logical answer.

"The children are indeed sick, and as their mother, I have taken them to the hospital in time."

As Shen Luhong spoke, she showed the child's medical record and the hospital's payment records for the past few days, which clearly stated that the child was already in the recovery period.

"Yesterday, Fan Cuiying and another person came to the hospital and tried to hit me without saying a word. I understand that they were probably worried about the child's condition, so I did not fight back."

"I only grabbed my mother-in-law's cane to stop her, and then under her threat, I obediently let go of the cane. There was no malicious intent to harm her. If you don't believe me, you can ask the nurses at the hospital for verification."

Every word Shen Lu said was true, so of course she wasn't afraid of an investigation by the Women's Federation director. The arrogant behavior of Fan Cuiying and the other woman yesterday had attracted a lot of attention.

Listening to Shen Lu's watertight answer and comparing it with the exaggerated statements of Fan Cuiying and the other woman, the director of the Women's Federation frowned and pondered more deeply.

When Fan Cuiying heard that Shen Lu had asked the Women's Federation director to investigate, she panicked and quickly changed the subject.

"How do you explain that your house is so dirty and messy? Many people, including myself, can't stand the stench coming from your house."

Fan Cuiying spoke with great conviction, and under her instigation, Shen Lu's family had maintained this state for almost half a year.

When Fan Cuiying came yesterday, she witnessed firsthand the garbage everywhere. When the Women's Federation director sees the state of Shen Lu's home, she will definitely reprimand her.

Fan Cuiying thought gleefully, but the panicked look she had imagined for Shen Lu did not appear. Instead, Shen Lu spoke calmly.

"As for the living environment, I think it would be better if you could see it for yourself."

Shen Lu stepped aside, and the layout of the entire room came into view.

The room was spotless and sparsely furnished, like a model room for bachelors in the military region.

Clean and tidy bed sheets and duvet covers were drying on the balcony, and clothes belonging to both children and adults were neatly hung there.

There wasn't a speck of grease on the stove, not a speck of dust on the floor, and the air was filled with the clean scent of soap.

The room was nothing like the dirty and messy place that Fan Cuiying and the other woman had described; on the contrary, it was exceptionally clean.

The two people who saw the room were also extremely surprised. Shen Lu hadn't cleaned the room for half a year, so how could it be so clean?

Could it be that she knew something in advance?

"She...she must have known, that's why she packed in advance..." Fan Cuiying said in a panic.

"Director, please don't be fooled by her. Maybe the trash is hidden in the cupboard." Fan Cuiying walked into Shen Lu's house and searched everywhere.

But every corner was strangely clean, making one wonder if they had gone to the wrong place.

The director of the Women's Federation glanced at her, and Fan Cuiying stopped what she was doing, feeling rather annoyed.

As a housewife, Fan Cuiying was also puzzled. How could an ordinary person tidy up the room in one day?

What she didn't know was that Shen Lu was no ordinary person; she was a domestic whiz with a severe case of mysophobia.

Seeing the expression on the Women's Federation director's face change slightly, Shen Lu knew that Fan Cuiying and the other woman's credibility had been greatly diminished by the director.

Thanks to her years of experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder, she was able to quickly clean the entire room until it was spotless.

The director of the Women's Federation walked into the room, her eyes scanning back and forth. Although the room wasn't exactly cozy, it was clean.

Looking at the half-full rice jar and the lean meat hanging in the shade, with both rice and meat, it seems they are truly living a good life.

However, although this fat woman wasn't as bad as her mother-in-law's family said, the era she lived in still gave her such an obese body, and both of her children were hospitalized.

As the director of the Women's Federation, this required her to consider things more carefully.

Just then, a sound came from the doorway.

"Old Zhang, what brings you here?"

The director of the Women's Federation turned around and realized that it was someone she knew.

"Comrade Li, it's been a long time."

The Women's Federation director put away her notebook, her face replacing her seriousness with a smile, and strode towards the door to shake hands with the person who came in.

Shen Lu looked at the older woman carrying a vegetable basket at the door; she seemed familiar, and she tried to recall who she was.

He quickly realized that the person living across the hall from him was Li Mei, the wife of the military region's political commissar.

Seeing the two being so affectionate, the others looked puzzled.

"Comrade Li and I went to the countryside together before," Director Zhang explained the relationship between the two in one sentence.

"What's going on here?" Li Mei's curious gaze swept back and forth between the group. Gu Xiao's family was always a handful, so why did they invite the director of the Women's Federation today?

Director Zhang explained the cause and effect clearly in a few words.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Director Zhang spoke up after learning that Li Mei lived across from Shen Lu.

"Since you live across the hall, what's your impression of this Comrade Shen?"

Li Mei glanced at Shen Lu, then swept her gaze across the clean and tidy room, frowning.

Shen Lu's heart skipped a beat.

Director Zhang doesn't know her situation here, so she can still fool him. But Li Mei is watching her from across the street every day!

Li Mei had witnessed firsthand how lazy and indifferent the original owner of the body was to her children. She tried to dissuade the original owner many times, but the original owner always refused to listen.

Including yesterday, it was Li Mei who found Gu Xingze freezing outside in the middle of the night and came knocking on the door to ask what was wrong.

The original owner didn't want to get into trouble, so she reluctantly opened the door to let Gu Xingze in.

As long as Li Mei speaks up and testifies about the original owner's past situation, he'll be finished.

Even the composed and calm Shen Lu's mind was racing, strategizing in her head.

But the more he thought about it, the more desperate he became.

She never imagined that Li Mei would have any chance of helping her.

Is it really impossible for me to keep both children?

Shen Lu slowly closed her eyes, preparing to face the judgment of fate. Now that she had transmigrated, she could only accept the karma of the original owner.
