Chapter 4 If you don’t agree, I will go on a hunger strike!

"Who gave it to you?" Lu Yuxiu sat down with the little boy in his arms and asked softly. His grandmother had been taking care of him since he was brought home, and it was his grandmother who taught him how to recognize his father by showing him a photo.

He felt guilty towards his child and his grandmother, so his friend was right.

The little dumpling immediately looked at his grandmother with his cute big eyes.

"Have you thanked your great-grandmother?" Lu Yuxiu wiped the saliva off the little guy.

"Thank you. I even gave grandma a leg massage." The little girl looked at her father with a look of praise. She is a very good and sensible child.

"Thank you, thank you, An An is so good. Grandma thanks An An." Seeing the little guy asking for praise, her heart was melted by it, and when she turned to look at her grandson, she felt angry.

"Hmph! You still have the nerve to come back!" Grandma Lu snorted arrogantly!

Lu Yuxiu saw his grandmother's look and smiled helplessly, "Where else can I go if I don't come back?"

"If you don't bring back a granddaughter-in-law, you can go wherever you want!" Grandma Lu got angry when she talked about this. Other people's 27-year-old children are all in school, but he is so good that he hasn't even seen the shadow of his child's mother.

"It's time to eat!" Aunt Wang appeared at the right time, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

"I won't eat! I'll go on a hunger strike if you don't agree!" Grandma Lu said angrily.

"Okay, okay, okay, can't I find it?" Lu Yuxiu compromised.

Grandma Lu couldn't believe it, "Really?"

"Really, let's go and have dinner."

Grandma Lu looked at her grandson doubtfully, suspecting that he was trying to trick her into giving her a meal.

"Let's eat first! An An, quickly call grandma to eat." Lu Yuxiu used his special move.

"Grandma, eat! Eat meat!" An An opened his cute big eyes and called out in a baby voice.

"Okay! Grandma, eat it!" Grandma Lu was unable to resist An An and immediately agreed.

After dinner, An An felt sleepy and was taken away by Wang Ma to rest.

Grandma Lu looked at her grandson and asked earnestly, "Are you still thinking about that girl from the Sun family?"

Lu Yuxiu didn't expect his grandmother to ask this. He had been engaged to the girl from the Sun family before, which was arranged by the elders. The two had no feelings for each other, and he had been in the army for many years. Later, when others had better options, he accepted the cancellation of the engagement.

He didn't feel anything about the previously canceled marriage, but he didn't expect that his grandmother seemed to misunderstand that he didn't want to find a partner because of this.

"That's not the case, grandma."

"Then why don't you get married now?" Grandma Lu asked in disbelief.

Lu Yuxiu was silent. In fact, in the army, his leaders had introduced many girls to him. Some of them didn't want to be a stepmother at such a young age, while others felt that he couldn't be with them.

In the end he didn't want to look for one anymore. Life on the island was hard. He had seen couples and families on the island living in chaos and quarrels. He thought it would be better to be alone.

But I didn’t expect that grandma would actually think about the past.

"I'll ask your aunt to introduce someone to you during this period of vacation?" Grandma Lu asked tentatively.

"Okay." Lu Yuxiu thought that he didn't have much vacation time, so he decided to calm his grandmother down first.

Four years ago, Lu Yuxiu suddenly brought home a baby girl. The Lu family was collectively shocked, but they no longer objected after learning the child's origins. Grandma Lu thought that both families had served in the military and would probably understand.

However, after the Sun family found out, they made a big fuss about the child and took the opportunity to cancel the engagement. Lu Yuxiu had just returned to fulfill the engagement.

Since then, there has been no news about Lu Yuxiu's marriage. His mother divorced his father when he was studying, and there has been no news of her since she went abroad. His father later remarried and paid less attention to Lu Yuxiu's affairs.

The child is still young and can only stay with his grandmother to be taken care of. Grandma Lu is willing to do so and will only take the child away after her grandson gets married.

But four years have passed and her grandson is still unmarried, which makes Grandma Lu very worried.

Grandma Lu watched her grandson nod in agreement, and immediately smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face deepened. She stood up and walked without looking old at all. "I'll call your aunt right now. There are many girls in their courtyard."

Grandma Lu was impatient to call her daughter, as if she was afraid that her grandson would go back on his word.

"Hello, I'm looking for Lu Xiaohui from the obstetrics and gynecology department..."

The corners of Lu Yuxiu's mouth trembled slightly. Seeing his grandmother move so quickly, he felt terrified.

Just give it a try. Although he has no hope, it will be good as long as the old lady can get busy and stop going on a hunger strike.

Later, when he had a wife and children and was living in peace, Lu Yuxiu thanked this attempt in his heart more than once.

......

At the Lin family, Wang Yanmei hurried back home and told her mother-in-law anxiously about the big pie she had encountered.

"Really?" Lin's mother asked in disbelief.

"It's true. Director Lu from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department told me personally." Wang Yanmei couldn't believe it when she first heard about it, but it was indeed true.

Today she went to see her leader to ask about her sister-in-law's previous exam. When she got there, she saw Director Lu from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department answering the phone with a look of joy and relief, and her face flushed with excitement.

She thought something happy had happened in Director Lu's family, and taking advantage of the director's good mood, she went up to ask about her sister-in-law.

However, I didn't expect that after asking, I learned that my sister-in-law was indeed unlucky and was just stuck behind the quota. If she was luckier, she might have passed the exam, and after working for a few years, there is a high chance that she would be able to become a full-time employee.

She was about to leave with regret, but unexpectedly Director Lu stopped her and asked if her sister-in-law was the girl with an oval face, red lips and white teeth, and two pigtails.

When Wang Yanmei heard this, she knew that this was her sister-in-law. Regardless of her personality, her appearance would definitely attract attention if she walked out.

How things turned out later was beyond Wang Yanmei's expectations. She didn't expect that the director would take a fancy to her sister-in-law. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. With her sister-in-law's personality, she was afraid that it wouldn't work. But she had to give it a try anyway.

She had vaguely heard of Director Lu's family background in the hospital. They were a family that came from a large single-family house, and the person who introduced them was Director Lu's nephew.

When Lin's mother heard about this background, she was still a little skeptical. How could such a family background choose their family? "Is there something wrong with Director Lu's nephew? Their family is so well-off, why would they choose a working-class family like ours?"

In fact, the reason why Lu Xiaohui went to find Wang Yanmei was because she had heard her say that her mother-in-law was easy to get along with, so she kept an eye on it. It would be difficult for her nephew to find someone with a similar family background, so she could only look for someone lower down. She had also seen that girl before, and she was really beautiful, so she paid attention to her.

"Um...there is indeed something." This was her first reaction at the time. It was not until Director Lu explained the situation to her clearly that she felt relieved.

But in her opinion, since the child is not her biological child, whether she can get married depends on what her sister-in-law thinks.

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Lin's mother finally felt a sense of reality. She said, how could a family like that be interested in a working-class family.

"Tell me, what's the problem?" Lin's mother knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

"Director Lu's nephew is stationed on an island, at the battalion commander level, and he will definitely be with the army after marriage. His appearance is definitely impeccable, and Director Lu is not bad looking. The only downside is that he is a bit old, 27 years old, and has a child at home."

"You have a child? No, no." When Lin's mother heard that the man was old and had a child, she immediately became unwilling. Her daughter was so young, how could she let her daughter become someone else's stepmother.

"No, Captain Lu has never been married, and the child is adopted." Wang Yanmei had no grudge against her sister-in-law. She was reluctant at first when she heard that there was a child, but Director Lu was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he told her the situation clearly.

"Why adopt a child before getting married? Isn't that a lie?" Lin's mother thought clearly.

"And twenty-seven is really a bit old. Is there really nothing wrong with him? How come he is still not married at the age of twenty-seven?" Lin's mother remained skeptical and muttered to herself, is there really nothing wrong with his body?

"He was delayed in his career development, otherwise how could he have reached the rank of battalion commander at this age? At least he is better than that young boy, right?" Although compared with her sister-in-law, Wang Yanmei felt that age was not a problem.

"This..." After hearing this, Lin's mother felt that the other party had a good family background, but his age was not suitable for the child, and she was conflicted and hesitant.

"Mom, let's stop worrying about it. We haven't even started dating yet. Even if we meet, we may not be compatible. It's better to listen to what my younger sister thinks." Wang Yanmei looked at her mother-in-law who was struggling and felt that it was too early to worry about many things.

"Ah? What do you want to hear my opinion about?" Lin Xia heard her sister-in-law talking about her as soon as she entered the house, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
