Early the next morning, Su Qingyu woke up with pain all over her body and was shocked to find Lu Bocheng leaning on the bedside looking at her.

Lu Bocheng looked away embarrassedly.

Su Qingyu rolled her eyes at him, cleaned herself up under his attentive service, and let the man lead her to the kitchen.

The Lu family usually hired a woman to help cook three meals a day and take care of some housework, but she did not live at home. She came every morning and went home after cooking in the evening. Her home was also in the town.

On this day, Lu Bocheng’s stepmother did not let the woman come.

In the local area, it was a tradition for newlyweds to cook soup for their mother-in-law as their first meal on the day after they got married. Su Qingyu didn’t say anything.

When she got to the kitchen, she looked around and started working.

In the kitchen, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, whole grains, vegetables, meat, rice, and noodles were all quite plenty. The kitchen was also larger than the Su family’s, with a higher roof, and was kept very clean by the helper, which saved Su Qingyu the effort of cleaning up.

After asking Lu Bocheng’s family about their preferences, she started cooking.

Seeing that he was still wandering around the kitchen, she ordered him to fetch water and light the fire, and he worked hard.

When Su Qingyu prepared several breakfast items and brought them to the main room with Lu Bocheng, Lu’s father, stepmother Wu Shi and others had not shown up.

Su Qingyu looked at the delicious breakfast on the flower table and drooled. She got up early in the morning and worked hard for a long time. She didn’t even bother to drink water. Her stomach had already started protesting.

Fortunately, it was summer now. If it were winter, the oil would have frozen the vegetables.

Looking at Lu Bocheng again, he clenched his hands, his face was full of anger, and he was about to lose his temper.

Su Qingyu hurriedly pulled him over: “Tell me about your family.”

Lu Bocheng was so angry but he immediately let go.

Taking advantage of the situation, he took her to sit down on the chair and told her about the Lu family.

Lu’s father and Lu’s mother lived in the next village back then, so the elders knew each other. Lu’s father has been restless since he was a child. He didn’t like working in the fields, so he liked to run outside. He didn’t like the three melons and two dates in the field, so he liked to go out and think about ways to make money.

After he had saved some money, he bought goods and worked as a peddler in various towns and villages. When it was time to get married, few families were willing to give him their girl. The older generation preferred men who were down-to-earth and took care of their families.

But Lu’s mother took a fancy to him and insisted on marrying him regardless of her parents’ objections. The Lu family was very happy and quickly arranged a marriage for the two of them. They also had high praise for this diligent and honest daughter-in-law.

The couple gradually enlarged the peddler’s responsibilities, carrying the goods on a load, turning them into oxcarts for hauling goods, and even hiring assistants. He sold more goods, traveled farther and farther, and made more and more money.

A few years later, Lu Bocheng was born, and Lu’s mother wanted to settle down.

The only son of Lu Bocheng’s maternal grandparents at that time had an accident and died before he had married. Lu’s mother became the only support. When they saw that their daughter and son-in-law wanted to settle down, they were overjoyed. They sold several acres of land at home and gave all their savings to their daughter and son-in-law.

The couple gained the wealth of the in-law’s family and soon bought a shop in Fengting Town and opened a grocery store. Their days were prosperous and they gradually settled down.

When Lu Bocheng was three years old, Lu’s father went out to purchase goods and brought back Wu Shi. At that time, she still had a big belly and was holding an almost three-year-old toddler in her hand.

Lu’s mother was hit hard.

Lu’s father went out to buy goods, and she was a woman who was busy in and out, taking care of her parents-in-law in the countryside, and taking care of business. She didn’t even take care of her young son, leaving him to his parents, but she didn’t expect her husband to turn around and bring home another woman.

Lu’s mother fell ill.

After struggling for several years, fighting wits and courage with Wu Shi, finally when Lu Bocheng was six years old, she couldn’t stand it any longer and left the young Lu Bocheng behind. Lu Bocheng’s maternal grandparents could not bear the shock of the death of their two children, and they passed away one after another within a few years.

Lu Bocheng became a little pitiful person who had no one to care about.

As he got older, his eyes filled with anger when he saw his father and Wu Shi, being affectionate and loving with their three children. Gradually, he no longer liked staying at home, and he started to entertain cats and dogs, call friends, and stop doing other things.

Su Qingyu glanced at Lu Bocheng and found that he was not seriously injured. You could still save him.

Lu Bocheng noticed Su Qingyu’s gaze and looked at her face: “What’s wrong?”

Su Qingyu shook her head: “It’s okay.”

After thinking about it, he asked: “Your second brother, are you sure he is your father’s?”

Lu Bocheng was a little disdainful and sneered: “I hope he is not. But when you see him, you will know that he is almost the same as my father. Otherwise, the family has raised him for three years and still can’t Finally, when I saw my father, I kicked the mother and son out.”

This Wu Shi, tsk tsk, had such a good life.

She was not imprisoned in the pig cage by that family but was just kicked out and lived a good life. Such luck.

While her husband was working outside, she hooked up with Lu’s father, who was selling goods, and she got pregnant with Lu’s father’s child, and she dared to give birth to him in that house. Three years later, Lu’s father went to sell goods again and dared to strike up a conversation. Finally, he was caught by the family and the mother and son were kicked out.

Tsk tsk, this woman Wu Shi was not punished in the end and was even held in the palm of Lu’s father’s hand. She gave birth to two sons and one daughter for the Lu family. She cleaned up all the stains and straightened her back. Not only did she jump out of the mountain nest, but she also lived a life of counting copper coins every day without touching water.

Tsk tsk. In her previous life, she probably gave food to the lucky star.

As for that family, they had raised other people’s children for three years and they still don’t know how to be talked about in the village. Father Lu probably also lost a lot of money, which was considered a consolation.

Then take the money and marry a good match. Everyone was happy. Only Lu Bacheng’s mother was miserable.

She also admired her mother-in-law. Lu’s father had lost all his trousers back then and could hardly save the shop, but under such circumstances, she could still give him all the money and persuade her parents to sell their land to save the shop.

In the end, she died early due to mental and physical exhaustion.

“Should there be any explanation before your grandparents passed away?”
