Chapter 12

Shen Jiao had expected this situation.

Four years ago, when Lu Zhengxu came back, he gave a piece of pork, a handful of noodles and a bag of sugar to his two uncles’ families.

During that period, the relationship between my third uncle’s family and their side was quite close for a while.

But later, Lu Zhengxu left for four years without any news, and the original owner was a bad guy. Uncle Lu was afraid that Wu Guilan would not be able to raise her two grandsons and would bring trouble to their family, so he would not even say hello to Wu Guilan when they met.

In the team, he even cried poor everywhere, saying that the original owner came to their house to extort money, and they had no choice but to stop having anything to do with Wu Guilan.

In fact, although the original owner was a bastard, he was arrogant and didn’t bother to associate with these people in the village, let alone go to anyone’s house to ask for money.

She just stayed at home and exploited Wu Guilan and the two children.

As for Second Uncle Lu, although he wanted to protect the original owner, he would not openly help Wu Guilan and the two children.

But he also often secretly gave some food to the two children.

Throughout the year, when the family had a feast, they would invite Wu Guilan and her two children to their home to eat.

When Second Uncle Lu heard what Third Uncle Lu said, he glared at him and said, “Third Uncle Lu, do you have any conscience?

When the fourth brother was around, how much work did he do for your family?

When Zhengxu was doing well, how much gift did you receive from him?

Zhengxu is like this now, and you don’t plan to help at all. Aren’t you afraid that your parents will beat you when you go to hell in the future? ”

Lu Wenbo was not afraid of his second brother Lu Wensong at all, and said with his neck stiff: “What I said is the truth!

My own family is already struggling, what can I do to help their family?

Besides, Zhengxu is already like this, who knows whether he will lie in bed for one, two or ten years?

It would be fine if he died. If he continues to be like this, if I help them, how can I survive at home? ”

Wu Guilan was already sad.

Now, hearing Uncle Lu’s words that stabbed her like a dagger in her heart, she couldn’t help but burst into tears again.

Uncle Lu was so angry at Uncle Lu that he couldn’t even speak. “Lu Wenbai, you…”

Uncle Lu was not vague and said directly to Lu Liming: “Captain, you are the captain and the big brother.

You should have some idea in your mind.

Lu Zhengxu is in this state, why did you call us here?

You called us here to serve him, and you want to take care of your own reputation? ”

“Then you have made a wrong calculation. I, Lu Lao San, am not afraid of you.

From now on, their family’s affairs have nothing to do with me, so don’t come to me anymore! ”

Lu Wensong finished speaking in one breath, and then called his two sons, “Xiao Wu, Xiao Kai, let’s go. There is so much work to do at home, and we can’t afford to stay here with them!”

Second Uncle Lu was so angry that his chest heaved violently, “Lu Wenbai, if you walk out of this door today, I, Lu Wensong, will no longer have a brother like you!”

Uncle Lu paused for a moment and said, “If there is none, then there is none. Who cares?”

The father and his two sons left immediately.

Chen Jiao and Wu Guilan didn’t even have a chance to get a word in.

Seeing that Second Uncle Lu was extremely angry, Shen Jiao quickly moved two stools over, “Uncle, Second Uncle, please sit down.”

Uncle Lu sat down, waved his hands, and said, “Forget it.

Lu Ping, Lu An, your third uncle has no regard for family affection at all. Our family cannot be as heartless and ungrateful as theirs.

You have taken so much advantage of your fourth uncle and Zhengxu in the past. Now it’s time for you to repay your kindness.

From now on, you two brothers and I will take turns, with one of you coming over every day to take care of Zhengxu.

Even if Zhengxu lies in bed like this for ten or twenty years, we have to persist in taking good care of him for ten or twenty years! ”

Uncle Lu spoke with great force.

Lu Ping and Lu An were also very clear, “Dad, don’t worry, as long as we two brothers are still alive, we will definitely take good care of Zhengxu.”

Seeing that the father and his two sons were about to settle the matter, Chen Jiao quickly said, “Second Uncle, Big Brother, Second Brother, Mom and I appreciate your kindness.

But you don’t have to come here to take care of Zhengxu every day. Mom and I can take care of him.

Besides, if one of you comes here every day, the family will lose a labor force that can earn full work points, which is not cost-effective. ”

Wu Guilan also wiped her tears and said, “Yes, second brother, we can take care of Zhengxu ourselves.

There is no need to delay your labor. ”

Uncle Lu wanted to insist, but Chen Jiao said, “Uncle, I won’t hide it from you. Although Zhengxu hasn’t been back for the past four years, his comrades helped bring back the money he saved.

I want back what he has saved plus what Chen Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing owe me.

Our family has no worries about making a living. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned to Lu Liming and said, “Uncle, I told you today that my mother would not do heavy work anymore, but at that time she didn’t know what had happened to Zhengxu.

Now I want to apply to you that my mother will not go to work anymore.

In the future, we may just stay at home and focus on raising the children and taking care of Zhengxu. ”

Naturally, Lu Liming had nothing to say about this matter.

He took another puff of his pipe and said, “Okay, you won’t have to go to work in the future.

If there is anything at home that needs help, just let me know. Your second uncle’s family and I will do our best to help. ”

Uncle Lu looked at Chen Jiao’s generous and decent appearance, and he felt a little suspicious.

How come this Zhengxu family seems like a different person?

Now that Zhengxu has become like this, she didn’t say she wanted to leave, but instead took the initiative to assume the responsibility of taking care of Zhengxu.

What’s wrong with this person?

Uncle Lu thought about it and all he could think of was that Chen Jiao was probably thinking about the little money that Zheng Xu brought back, so she was patiently pretending.

When Second Uncle Lu left, he specifically called Wu Guilan aside and whispered, “Sister-in-law, the money Zhengxu saved is the guarantee for you, Yangyang, and Nannan to live in the future.

You have to hold it in your own hands and don’t be confused. Let Zhengxu’s family take care of it. ”

Wu Guilan opened her mouth and wanted to say something in defense of Chen Jiao.

But before he could finish his words, he heard Uncle Lu say, “Looking at the performance of Zhengxu’s family today, I’m afraid they are planning to take away the money Zhengxu brought back.

You’d better be careful and don’t let it end up like what happened four years ago. ”

Four years ago, Lu Zhengxu received a mission to return to the army the day after he married Chen Jiao.

But he left eight hundred dollars before he left.

Such a large sum of money is enough for the family to live comfortably for the next four years.

But the mother-in-law Wu Guilan was confused and gave the money to Chen Jiao who had just come in. Chen Jiao was even more stupid and took the money to please the educated youth.

As a result, the few work points Wu Guilan earned in the past few years were not only used to support herself and her two grandsons, but also to support Chen Jiao’s extravagance.

With the way Chen Jiao spends money, even if there are mountains of gold and silver at home, it is not enough for her to spend.

Wu Guilan was unable to make any excuses for Chen Jiao, nor did she tell Uncle Lu that she had given all the money, salary books, and food certificates to Chen Jiao for safekeeping.

He only agreed: “Uncle, I understand. I will keep the money well and live a good life.”

Uncle Lu reminded them again that if they needed any help, they could just go to their house and let them know.

Then he left with his two sons.

The news that Lu Zhengxu had become a living dead spread quickly in the village.

As soon as Uncle Lu got home, his wife Ma Cuilian came to greet him and said, “Dad, they said Zhengxu won’t wake up?

Is it true? ”

Uncle Lu sighed, “It’s true. That person was lying on the bed, just like he was asleep, but he just couldn’t wake up. Isn’t that infuriating?”

“What about their family in the future…” Ma Cuilian asked hurriedly.

These days, rural people make a living by labor.

It’s annoying to have a disabled person at home, let alone someone like Lu Zhengxu who is lying there half dead.

“Zhengxu saved up some money, and his comrades brought it back to him. He spent it frugally, and his family had no problem with food and drink.

Regarding the care, I originally said that the three of us would take turns to go, but my sister-in-law and Shen Jiao said that it was not necessary and they could take care of her themselves, which meant that my sister-in-law would not be able to go to work in the future. ”

Ma Cuilian breathed a sigh of relief, “There’s money to spend and food to eat at home, so it’s okay not to go to work.

She has been tired for so many years, and now this incident has happened again. Now she has some free time to stay at home to take care of her son and grandson, and to recuperate. ”

Uncle Lu waved his hand and said, “When you are free, go sit over there and talk to your sister-in-law.

Don’t worry about anything else. Our family will just help out more in the future. I’m just worried that she will be unable to get over it.

If anything happens to her, Chen Jiao will be left alone, and Yangyang and Nannan will be in trouble. ”

Ma Cuilian readily agreed: “Okay, I’ll go over and take a look later.”

On the other side, Uncle Lu’s wife Zhang Biying was also asking what was going on.

Upon learning that Lu Zhengxu had really become a living dead, Uncle Lu decisively drew a line between himself and them.

He slapped his thigh and praised, “Dad, you are still smart.

It would be good if he was carried back after death, at least he would have a good reputation and would not be a burden to others.

If we carry him back here half-dead now, he will be a lifelong burden. We can’t have anything to do with him. ”
