On the other hand, Madam Lu was happily on a video call with her friends, mainly to show off that she had learned how to knit a scarf.

“Let me show you the scarf I knitted this afternoon. It’s not finished yet. At most, it’s a half-finished product.”

Madam Lu held the scarf and pointed it at the phone camera, showing it to the other party carefully.

She was in the courtyard just now, but she felt that the lighting there was not good, so she entered the house.

After examining the scarf, the other party couldn’t help but praise, “Not bad, you learned quickly.”

Madam Lu smiled humbly. “I just did some research.”

Coincidentally, Lu Qianling heard their conversation. She looked at her mother in disbelief and asked curiously, “Mom, you know how to knit a scarf?”

Madam Lu looked up and saw Meng Chuyuan and Lu Qianling sitting in the living room together. She was stunned for a moment before nodding in response.

“Yes.” She blinked and said. When she saw Meng Chuyuan, she felt inexplicably guilty.

After Madam Lu subconsciously moved the scarf in her hand away, her phone camera happened to capture the sofa. As a result, the other party saw Meng Chuyuan and Lu Qianling.

“Juan, is that your eldest daughter-in-law sitting beside your daughter?”

When Madam Lu heard this, she snapped back to her senses and flipped the camera back to the front. However, since the other party had already seen it, she could only nod and reply, “Yes, it’s her.”

“Your eldest daughter-in-law is a really popular person now. My youngest daughter has already idolized her. Juan, if you have time, bring her out to play with us.”

It just so happened that everyone wanted to see what kind of charm the woman Lu Qingye liked had.

Madam Lu smiled awkwardly. “Let’s talk about it another day. She’s filming a variety show tomorrow.”

The two of them chatted for a while before ending the video call.

Lu Qianling felt as if she had been living under a rock. After her mother hung up the video call, she walked over and stared at the palm-sized scarf. She could not help but examine it.

“Mom, did you really knit this?”

“What are you saying? Are you looking down on me?”

Lu Qianling nodded and said unabashedly, “I really don’t think you have the ability.”

Madam Lu was not to be outdone either. “Your eldest brother wants to cut off your allowance and you deserve it. You just don’t deserve to be pitied.”

Just as Lu Qianling was about to retort, Uncle Yuan shouted from the kitchen that dinner was ready. Otherwise, she would definitely have to show off to her mother about the five thousand yuan a week.

The next morning, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen were about to set off to record the second episode of Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat.

In order to catch the earliest flight out, they got up before dawn.

Lu Qianling had specially set an alarm to wake up early. Last night, she insisted on sending them to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, Meng Chuyuan and the others joined the other four guests.

After Lu Qianling saw Qi Zhen, she immediately perked up and her sleepiness disappeared.

“Brother Qi Zhen, can I take a photo with you?”

Qi Zhen saw her infatuated expression and smiled awkwardly. “You are?”

“I’m Lu Jinsen’s sister. You can call me Lingling.”

“Alright, Lingling.”

After the two of them took the picture, Lu Qianling went on to talk to other guests.

Qi Yan sat on the chair to rest as she watched Lu Qianling walk around them. She was very active.

She stared at Lu Qianling and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She said in a sarcastic tone, “So this Second Young Master Lu has a younger sister. I thought that other than Eldest Sister-in-law, there was no one else in the family.”

Lu Qianling heard her sarcastic tone and walked in front of Qi Yan. She put her hands on her waist and responded to her in the same tone. “Sister, what’s with your tone? What do you mean there’s no one else in our family?”

The expressions of everyone present changed. They did not expect Qi Yan to say such words, and they did not expect Lu Qianling to be so rude as to retort back.

Qi Zhen’s face was a little pale. He didn’t expect Qi Yan to dare to say that, which put him in an awkward position.

“Lingling.” Lu Jinsen frowned and pulled her back. He said sternly, “You should go back.”

Lu Qianling shook off his hand and glared at Lu Jinsen unhappily. “F*ck! What’s wrong with you? Aren’t you usually quite unreasonable? Why are you afraid now?”

Meng Chuyuan stood at the side and did not speak. However, she seemed very calm and was not provoked by Qi Yan’s words at all.

After a while, Meng Chuyuan smiled and said calmly, “I wonder what Sister Qi Yan was trying to express. Why don’t you tell us.”

Qi Yan lowered her head silently.

Qi Zhen, seeing that his sister was so arrogant and rude, could only stand up and apologize to Meng Chuyuan and the rest. “I’m really sorry. My sister might not have meant it that way either. She just doesn’t know how to talk.”

Lu Qianling lost control of her emotions and couldn’t help but curse. “Pui! Old woman, no wonder you can’t get married at 30 years old. Serves you right.”

“What did you say? Say it again?” Qi Yan hated it when people talked about her age and the fact that she still wasn’t married at 30 years old.

She stood up and was about to walk towards Lu Qianling when Qi Zhen reached out and stopped her.

“A child? That girl looks like she’s almost an adult. You call this a child?”

“Lingling, hurry up and go back.” Lu Jinsen pulled her back again. He held her shoulder and turned her around manually, pushing her away.

Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows and chuckled. “Sister Qi Yan, you’re not young anymore, right? Do you think what you said just now is appropriate?”

Meng Chuyuan respected Qi Yan for being older than her and was willing to call her sister. However, being older did not mean that everything she said was right.

The Liao sisters stood at the side and did not dare to make a sound. On the Variety show, everyone thought that Qi Yan was quite dignified. Although she did occasionally give people a sense of intimidation, she was not as scary as before.

After Lu Qianling left, they gradually quietened down.

On the way back, Lu Qianling angrily deleted the photo she took with Qi Zhen. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

After boarding the plane, everyone remained silent. It was only when they arrived at the recording location and when the director appeared with the recording team that their expressions softened a little.

“Everyone, long time no see!” The director held a small speaker in his hand and said warmly, “Welcome to the recording location of the second episode of Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat, the beautiful Xiao Hai Fishing Village…”

[I’ve been waiting for the second episode for the past few days. Who could understand?]

[Sister Meng, I’m here-I

[Director Luo is still as long-winded as ever. Every time he live-streams, he has to do something emotional.]

[Why do I feel that they seem to be in a very bad state? Is it because they woke up early to catch the plane?]

The director laid out a lot of groundwork before finally entering the main topic of this episode’s recording.

The production team took the initiative to show the photos of the three houses to the six guests. Then, they needed to take the boat prepared by the production team and row to the island opposite. The rules of choosing a house were first come, first served..
