Chapter 66

In the courtyard of the Lu family.

Lu Laowu also came out and knocked on Long Yujiao’s room in the west wing. Not long after, Long Yujiao opened the window.

Her eyes were red and pitiful.

“Brother Cheng.”

Lu Cheng said, “This money is really too much. The third and fourth brothers just got married, and this money cannot be taken out. Do you think you can write to the family to discuss it?”

Long Yujiao bit her lip, tears fell, and her voice trembled, “Brother Cheng, I don’t want to do it either.”

“My parents said that they found a good man for me. There is a director of the Revolutionary Committee in the city who likes me and wants to marry me. If I marry him, not only will I get more betrothal gifts, but I will also be transferred back to the city to find a job.”

Long Yujiao looked at Lu Cheng with tears in her eyes, “But I don’t want to.”

“Brother Cheng, I want to marry you.”

As if something was stuck in his throat, Lu Cheng couldn’t speak. He knew how much the educated youth wanted to return to the city at this time, and how good it was to have a job in the city. She gave up so much for him.

Lu Cheng looked at Long Yujiao, “Yujiao, don’t worry, I will find a way.”

On the other side.

Yang Maimiao handed the aluminum lunch box to Lu Laoliu, “Eat first, we’ll talk about what happened after you’re full.”

After saying that, he looked around to see if there was anyone around, and pulled him under a hidden tree.

At noon, cicadas were chirping overhead, and Lu Laoliu opened the aluminum lunch box. Inside was a cooked fish fillet, with a layer of brown rice mixed with white rice underneath.

The aroma floated around the wings of his nose.

Suddenly, Lu Laoliu’s eyes turned red, and he closed the lunch box again, “I can’t eat it, you can take it back.”

He swallowed unconsciously.

“No matter what happens, whether the marriage is over or not, you have to tell me, and we’ll discuss it together.” Yang Maimiao pushed the lunch box back.

Lu Laoliu looked at Yang Maimiao, “Maimiao, my mother has never been so good to me.”

Yang Maimiao:…

“I don’t want to be your mother, don’t say such things.” Her intuition told her that being a man’s mother was not a good thing.

While eating, Lu Laoliu told Long Yujiao about the 188 yuan.

“My family doesn’t have that much money. When I get married, there’s really no hope…”

Yang Maimiao frowned and felt something was wrong. “Don’t worry, wait for my news.”

Lu Laoliu was eating, and Yang Maimiao looked at him from time to time. The people in the Lu family were all good-looking. Even if her mother and Old Lady Lu didn’t have a good relationship, she had to admit that Old Lady Lu was very beautiful when she was young. From

what her mother said, Old Man Lu was a handsome man in the surrounding villages. Otherwise, after the land reform, the landlords had a hard time, and Old Lady Lu would not abandon the son of the landlords and choose Old Man Lu.

In this way, the children born by the two of them, although they have different personalities, their looks are impeccable.

It’s just that Old Lady Lu has a bad temper and always likes to make trouble, which makes her parents refuse to get involved with her family.

After Lu Laoliu finished eating, Yang Maimiao took the lunch box away and looked at him, “Don’t worry, rest assured, leave it to me.”

When Yang Maimiao left.

Lu Feng was still looking at her back, his eyes were somewhat complicated, his stomach felt full and comfortable, and he suddenly couldn’t help laughing.

Yang Maimiao also went home with a frown, and after washing the lunch box, she told her mother about this matter.

When Maimiao’s mother heard it, “Did Lu Laoliu really say that?”

Yang Maimiao nodded, “I don’t think it’s fake.”

Maimiao’s mother slapped her thigh excitedly, “Good news!”

“Old man, someone will mourn for us when we die.” She said excitedly and walked into the house.

Yang Maimiao didn’t realize what was going on. So much money, okay? That would not be enough even if the Lu family was emptied.

The whole atmosphere of the Lu family was wrong.

Shen Wu wanted to propose a separation, but it was obviously not the right time. While cooking in the kitchen, she couldn’t help but chat with Xu Yin.

“It’s good that we’re separated. After the separation, we don’t have to live so cautiously.”

Xu Yin suddenly stared at her, “If we’re separated, will we still be in the same yard?”

Shen Wu glared, “Of course we have to be, otherwise it’s still like before, next to each other, you on the east side of the elevator, I on the west side.”

This is the layout of the house they bought in the future, specially bought with two households per elevator.

Xu Yin suddenly raised her eyebrows.

She stood up and looked outside, “Lu Cheng went to find Old Lady Lu and Old Man Lu.”

“Can I go and listen?” Shen Wu was curious.

Xu Yin thought for a while, “I’ll try.”

Shen Wu: “I’ll keep watch for you.”

Xu Yin sneaked up to Old Lady Lu’s room and lay under the window. She couldn’t hear clearly, and she couldn’t see clearly. She looked at the paper-pasted window, thought about it, and quietly poked a crack.

One eye looked inside, and with a plop, Lu Cheng knelt.

It was so sudden that even Old Lady Lu was startled, “What are you doing?”

She went down to support him and blocked the hole that Xu Yin had just poked.

Xu Yin…

intermittent voices came from inside.

Ever since Li Ping learned that she had scored one hundred and eighty-eight, she was dissatisfied with everything. Before she even went out, she cursed, “People from the city are so great!”

Shen Wu coughed quickly.

Xu Yin’s reaction was faster. She was eavesdropping at first, and when Li Ping came out, she was already standing in the yard with a serious face.

Li Ping saw her, “Fourth sister-in-law, why are you not going to make dinner? Are you being lazy?”

Xu Yin glanced at her indifferently.

Suddenly, Li Ping’s mind became clear, and she smiled awkwardly.

Xu Yin did not argue with her, and returned to the kitchen, and simply told her what happened in the house, “Lu Cheng knelt down and begged the old man and the old woman, and also said that Long Yujiao didn’t want to do it, and Long Yujiao also sacrificed a lot for him.”

“The rest of what he said was not clear, as if he was promising something… Then Li Ping came.”

Li Ping came to the kitchen again after a while, looking at Shen Wu, “Third sister-in-law, is there anything to eat? The baby in my belly is hungry.”

Shen Wu thought for a while and took her an egg.

Li Ping’s eyes widened, surprised by the egg in front of her. She didn’t expect Shen Wu to be so generous.

Shen Wu said, “Mother has been too busy distributing food these two days, and she saved it for you. It’s not easy for you to be pregnant.”

When Li Ping heard this, her eyes were red. She had never found Shen Wu so easy.

Shen Wu sighed, “What’s going on here? If we don’t split up the family, we still must give dozens of dollars in betrothal gifts to the girl in the city. It’s really hard, sister-in-law.”

“Forget it, I shouldn’t say this to you, sister-in-law. You have two children and another in your belly, which is even harder.”

Li Ping almost cried, “Third sister-in-law, you understand me the best!”

Dinner.

Shen Wu cooked the soup. Only she, Xu Yin and Lu Xuan ate well at the table. Everyone else seemed to be worried.

Li Ping never stopped talking and kept making sarcastic remarks to Long Yujiao.

Long Yujiao said nothing, but with red eyes, she would pick up food for the old man and the old woman from time to time.

Her appearance made others seem more ferocious.

It was another silent meal and another noisy meal.

Shen Wu was unmoved.

Li Ping didn’t even wash the dishes today. She stood up angrily, “I didn’t ask for a betrothal gift of 188 yuan. Whoever wants to wash the bowl can do it. Otherwise, we’ll separate!”

“Mom, I can’t live like this anymore!”
