Chapter 479: 444 The Farmer and the Snake (Explosive Update 4)

After getting a glimpse of Beijing’s wealthy circles, Tang Su knew that for someone like Jiang Shanshan, whose family ran a seafood business, they weren’t really that rich.

They couldn’t even be considered high-income, at most they were middle class.

"First, enjoy your meal, let someone else handle other matters, here, have some duck soup." Lu Han still took the phone from her hand, set it aside, and ladled her a bowl of duck soup.

The abalone duck soup that Lu Han made in the pressure cooker had no other ingredients added; the soup was clear and the flavor was fresh. He had tasted it while in the kitchen just now, and it was very delicious.

Tang Su slurped several mouthfuls hungrily, eating both the abalone and the duck meat.

The duck meat was neither tough nor dry, and with a dip in Lu Han’s secret homemade sauce, the flavor was heavenly.

"Is it good?"

"Mmh, I finished the whole bowl. I feel like I could go without rice, just this bowl of steamed egg and a bowl of duck soup, and I’m full, burp—"

As if to prove it to Lu Han, Tang Su even let out a satisfied belch.

"It’s okay, I only steamed a single pot of rice, no worries, I’ll eat it."

"If we can’t finish it, just leave it there, we can still eat it tomorrow." Tang Su didn’t believe in the common advice to avoid leftovers; as long as they’re well-preserved and not spoiled, they can certainly be eaten.

When she was younger, she went through a phase where she loved fried rice with egg. That type of dish didn’t taste as good if it was made with freshly steamed rice; leftovers from the day before were best, especially when fried the next day for the optimal texture.

"Yeah, I can eat it. You just focus on eating more steamed egg and drink more bowls of soup."

"Okay."

Seeing that she was serious about eating and no longer paying attention to other matters, Lu Han forwarded that text to his father. Anyway, his parents had a lot of free time on their hands, so helping them out with some work was a good way to keep them occupied.

After dinner, Tang Su went to wash the dishes, and since Lu Han couldn’t wrestle them from her, he wiped the table and tied up the trash bag, ready to take it out later.

Their neighbors from the same community, who had seen the video of them at the playground with Tongtong, didn’t make any comments in the group chat. They knew what kind of people Lu Han and Tang Su were, so no one said anything about the video.

It was just something created to grab attention by taking things out of context.

Anyone with a bit of sense could see that.

People like Sister Cai, who stood up and raised their voices, were all speaking in support of Tang Su and Lu Han.

After Tang Su finished washing the dishes, they went downstairs to take out the trash and take a walk. They greeted the residents warmly as usual, including the elderly men and women who were also out for a stroll.

They all gathered around discussing ways to help them, "For such random commentary and online abuse, cursing people willy-nilly, surely there’s something that can be done about them, right?"

"Not at all, Old Zhang. Many platforms require real-name authentication now, or at least phone number binding, and phone numbers are linked to IDs. So if Lu Han and Tang Su really don’t want to let it go, they can hire lawyers. It’s just that the process of gathering evidence might be a bit troublesome."

I heard from the young people at home that the country has good measures in place against cyberbullying; there have been cases where people who intentionally cyberbullied others were administratively detained.

"Exactly, as much as free speech is valued, you can’t just spout nonsense and curse others with things like being unable to have children. What kind of mentality is that?"

"Tang Su and Lu Han are coming, let’s tone it down."

Someone spotted Tang Su and Lu Han coming out of their building and reminded everyone.

As Tang Su and Lu Han approached, they greeted everyone with smiles and laughter.

Seeing that they weren’t affected by the comments online, everyone quickly returned to normal.

After greeting everyone, Tang Su and Lu Han received a call from Sun Qing and said goodbye to the elders.

Once outside the community, Sun Qing and Bai Dingxian came over together.

"What brings you two here at this time?" Lu Han asked Bai Dingxian.

"She doesn’t trust my sister-in-law," Bai Dingxian replied to Lu Han.

"You had dinner alone with Doctor Bai tonight?" Tang Su was happy for Sun Qing. It seemed that the two had taken a big step forward on the path of love.

"Yeah, originally I wanted to enjoy a little sweet time in our own world, but as Doctor Bai and I talked about you guys, the angrier I got. I still wanted to come and see you."

"Nothing’s wrong, right?"

Sun Qing knew that with Lu Han by her side, Tang Su would definitely be fine, but she still wanted to hear it from her in person.

"Really, I’m fine. This time, I’ve made my complaint," Tang Su said with a smile.

"Huh? Complained to whom?" Sun Qing was puzzled.

"My mother-in-law."

"Ha, having a mother-in-law really is different. Moreover, you have a formidable one at that. Just wait, those rats hiding behind the internet, this time, they will have no place to hide. Just sitting and waiting for them to show their true colors."

Tang Su pursed her lips, feeling that a memorable lesson would suffice for those people.

As long as they remember not to make careless remarks in the future.

Sun Qing glanced at Bai Dingxian and Lu Han, then pulled Tang Su aside to talk about Ge Qing adding her on WeChat.

"Doctor Bai’s mom added me. This Auntie Ge, you should probably call her ’Aunt-in-law’ together with Doctor Lu, right?"

"... Third Aunt-in-law, my mother-in-law’s third brother’s wife, Lu Han’s Third Aunt."

"Right, you got the relationship sorted out. She contacted me last night, saying she’s coming to Hua City in a few days. It made me lose sleep all night. This morning, I told Doctor Bai about it, and Doctor Bai told me not to deal with her."

"But this situation is tricky. She’s going to be my future mother-in-law. Isn’t it inappropriate for me not to interact with her?"

"When we went to Beijing last time, I didn’t even meet this Third Aunt-in-law. How about I ask Lu Han for you what kind of person Third Aunt-in-law is and whether she’s easy to get along with?"

"Sure, that would really help me out, Tang Bao." Sun Qing was especially grateful.

It was just like what you’d expect from close girlfriends. Even if she didn’t speak out loud, Tang Su knew her needs and would timely offer help to solve her problems.

"What’s the big deal about that? But what about you, have you had anyone following you around lately?"

"Well, not since Doctor Bai has been acting as my bodyguard."

"Good, seeing that you two are getting along so well reassures me."

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and our relationship isn’t that great. It’s still the same old story." Sun Qing didn’t feel as optimistic as Tang Su.

The four of them chatted for a while at the entrance of the residential area before Sun Qing, thinking of Bai Dingxian’s work, suggested they head back. They watched as the two left.

Then, Bai Wei’s call came through to Lu Han’s phone, "Mom—"

"I’ve found out who’s pushing things behind the scenes, Ouyang Jingjing. Do you know her? If not, I’ll have someone investigate further right away. By dawn tomorrow at the latest, I’ll dig up everything there is to know about her."

"No need, Mom, I know her. She’s Ouyang Rui’s sister."

"Ouyang Rui? Oh, that sickly girl, the one you pretended to be the boyfriend of?" Bai Wei had a good memory and remembered the Ouyang Rui with many prefixes.

"Yes."

"So her sister has gone mad? Why would she want to harm you and Tang Su? You know, you’ve been kind to the Ouyang Family; this is outright ingratitude, it’s too much. I’ll have your father sort out those Ouyangs, see what kind of daughters they’ve raised," Bai Wei fumed.

"Mom, no need. This has nothing to do with the Ouyang Family; they just raised a snake, that’s all," Lu Han said.

Tang Su: "..."
