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

When Fan Cuiying and the other woman learned that the visitor was Shen Lu's neighbor across the street, they almost burst out laughing.

This person was someone who saw Shen Lu all the time, and she knew best what kind of person Shen Lu used to be.

No matter how much Shen Lu tried to explain, it couldn't compare to a single sentence from Director Zhang's friend.

The two were waiting to see what would happen.

After a moment's thought, Li Mei looked up at Director Zhang amidst their expectant gazes and said...

"Xiao Shen, this kid is alright. He's a bit withdrawn and lazy, but otherwise, he doesn't have any major problems..."

Li Mei's words froze the smiles on Fan Cuiying and the other woman's faces.

Shen Lu was also stunned.

The original owner's house was always in chaos and reeked of foul odors; anyone with eyes could see that.

Why would Li Mei help me?

Hearing his friend say this, Director Zhang's expression relaxed considerably.

She patted Shen Lu on the shoulder.

"Young people all make mistakes. As long as they are willing to correct them, there is no big problem. We should give young people more opportunities."

Li Mei responded from the side.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you supervise and correct her. If there are any problems with her conduct, I will report them to you immediately."

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."

The two talked as they walked outside.

Fan Cuiying and her companion looked grim after their scheme failed.

Shen Lu curled her lips. They can't even handle this? She could make them look even worse.

"Director Zhang, please wait a moment."

Shen Lu interrupted Director Zhang's departing steps.

"Since you've come all this way, I also have a favor to ask."

Fan Cuiying and the other woman immediately tensed up. What kind of trouble was Shen Lu up to now?

Meeting the questioning gazes of the group, Shen Lu spoke.

"My husband sent me household expenses before, but my mother-in-law took most of it, saying she was saving money for us. Now I need the money, and I would like to ask you to witness how they return it."

When Shen Lu said this, the expressions of the two people changed instantly, especially Gu's mother.

Although they used this excuse to deceive Shen Lu when they took the money, they never thought they would return it one day.

The family's only source of income was their eldest son, Gu Youcai, who worked as a laborer and earned forty yuan a month, which was barely enough for the family to make ends meet.

But ever since they got the sixty yuan from Shen Lu, they've been living a very comfortable life. Every neighbor around them envies her for having a son who's a regimental commander.

No, this money absolutely cannot be returned, but in front of the Women's Federation director, Gu's mother couldn't very well refuse directly.

So, Gu's mother forced a smile with a stiff face.

"Young people don't have the concept of saving money, so it's safer to leave it with me, I..."

"It's like this, Director. As you can see, the two children have a lot of daily necessities they need. I should also buy them some school supplies, and they need a lot of nutrition too. Also, there are clothes and shoes for Gu Xiao from his time in the army..."

Shen Lu pointed to the empty house and rattled off a whole bunch of things, while Gu's mother's face grew darker and darker.

Logically speaking, this is Shen Lu's own family matter, and as the director of the Women's Federation, she shouldn't interfere.

However, Director Zhang did not leave immediately, but chose to stay here to oversee Shen Lu.

This mother-in-law and her family were clearly too arrogant in front of Shen Lu, and the actual situation was probably different from what Fan Cuiying said.

Looking at the silent Women's Federation director beside her, Gu's mother gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay, I'll go home and get the money for you later."

Upon hearing the result, Shen Lu smiled sweetly: "How could I let you, with your old bones, make the trip? I'll go with you. It's seven hundred and twenty in total, so don't miscount."

When the number 720 reached Gu's mother's ears, she felt waves of heartache.

She had almost spent all her money and didn't have seven hundred yuan left.

Even though she was seething with hatred, Gu's mother couldn't say anything in front of the Women's Federation director.

Anyway, there's absolutely no way she'd give money to that little slut Shen Lu. Does she really think he's easy to bully?

Seeing that they had reached a compromise, the Women's Federation director, who still had a lot of work to do, told them to leave.

The three escorted the director downstairs.

Once the director was out of sight, Gu's mother's face immediately fell. She had initially thought of threatening Shen Lu, but then she reconsidered and decided that Shen Lu was an easy target and should be coaxed with kind words.

Then, Gu's mother put on a fake smile again.

"Little Deer, keep that money with your mother for now. I'm doing this for your own good. Gu Xiao has it tough outside, so you need to learn to be thrifty and manage the household well."

Shen Lu rolled her eyes. The original owner ended up like this because of their manipulation.

She's not the original owner of this body, so she won't be morally blackmailed by their words.

Shen Lu was too lazy to pretend with her here. She had already thought of a solution when she recalled things yesterday.

"Mother-in-law, what do you think? I'll go to Gu Youcai's workplace and cause a scene every morning on my way to work and every evening on my way home. What do you say?"

For her, saving face and such are not important at all.

After all, not many people knew her, but many workers knew their supervisor, Gu Youcai.

Yes, because Gu Xiao once saved the factory manager, Gu Youcai was appointed as a supervisor in the factory.

"You don't want your son to lose his job, do you?"

When Gu's mother heard what Shen Lu said, her face turned green.

She certainly understood the gravity of the situation; if it were in the past, she was certain that the cowardly Shen Lu would not have gone.

But now, she's not so sure.

Shen Lu seems to have suffered brain damage after being hit by a car; she's acting like a mad dog, biting anyone she can get her hands on.

Shen Lu had more important things to do, so she spoke up.

"If I don't see the money before tonight, I'll go to Gu Youcai's workplace and make a scene tomorrow during the day. You don't want Gu Youcai to be in a difficult position, do you?"

After finishing her sentence, Shen Lu left directly and headed towards the military hospital.

Realizing that Gu's mother was after the children, Shen Lu couldn't sit still for a moment and just wanted to bring the children to her side as soon as possible.

Upon arriving at the hospital, as soon as Shen Lu pushed open the ward door, the two little ones immediately looked at her warily.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoze, Mom is here to take you home."

Gu Xingyu shielded his brother behind him.

"You bad woman, get away from me. I don't want to go back to that messy place."

Shen Lu knew how outrageous the original owner of this body had been, and felt somewhat guilty.

However, the thought of the spotless house she had cleaned eased her guilt considerably.

She crouched down, looked the two little ones in the eye, and tried to communicate with them earnestly.

"I've cleaned the house thoroughly. I made a mistake before because I was confused. I swear I've realized my mistake and I will correct it."

"So, could you please give Mom another chance?"

Shen Lu did not try to force or deceive them just because they were young.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Shen Lu, Gu Xingyu was at a loss for what to do and looked at Gu Xingze with pleading eyes.

Although he is usually loud and arrogant, he is very dependent on his older brother and almost blindly follows his brother's decisions.

Under the watchful eyes of Shen Lu and Gu Xingyu, Gu Xingze hesitated for a long time before slowly nodding.

This is... the same me going home.

It felt like fireworks had exploded in Shen Lu's mind. Even when she had earned billions before, she had never been this happy.
