The next day, after Su Yan finished writing the manuscript, she went to Lu's house with a basket of strawberries to entertain her son. When she got there, she found out that Zhu Ting had packed up and returned to the city early in the morning. Lu Jin, worried about her, followed her back.

Su Yan handed the strawberries to Lu Yu, held her little fat baby and started chatting with Hua Jing.

"Yan Yan, you should have heard what Xiao Ting said about Xiao Jin's wife. The couple quarreled in the room all night last night. Zhu Ting said Xiao Jin was useless and wanted to abort the child. She went back to the city early in the morning."

"Oh, the parents-in-law didn't say anything?"

"My brother-in-law said that if Zhu Ting really aborted the child, he would send her back to the Zhu family and marry Xiao Jin off."

Su Yan guessed that the woman definitely didn't want to have an abortion, otherwise she wouldn't have forgotten to use contraception in the first place.

When the Zhu family came to the Lu family, they saw that her son was so popular with her parents-in-law, and they wanted Zhu Ting to have a child as soon as possible.

The Zhu family must have thought that their aunt was hired by their parents-in-law, so how could they expect to get it for free with the money she spent?

What Su Yan didn't expect was that Zhu Ting had such a bad temper. She was probably spoiled by her parents.

Logically speaking, girls of this era have no status at home and have to do some work.

Even if the original owner was spoiled by her family, and was a bit useless because of her poor study skills, at least she would help her mother with things within her ability. Although she was a bit spoiled, at least she would not lose her temper. Zhu Ting was a little confused about this.

"Aunt, don't get involved in my sister-in-law's affairs. Just take good care of Yiming. If you say anything, my sister-in-law will definitely be unhappy."

"Well, I won't get involved. My sister didn't argue with her when she saw she was pregnant. She even cooked several eggs for her this morning."

Su Yan always felt that this matter would not end so easily. A few days later, Zhu Jinghong and his wife brought Zhu Ting to the Lu family.

As for Lu Jin, he had no idea that his young wife went back to her parents' home for two days in order to seek the help of her father-in-law.

When Lu Fengnian saw Principal Zhu and his wife coming over, he couldn't help but want to swear when his son didn't come back.

"Second brother, why hasn't my Lu Jin come back?"

Before Zhu Ting could say anything, Zhu Jinghong smiled and explained, "He sent Tingting back to her parents' home and then returned to his courtyard to focus on his writing. He said he wanted to write well and earn money to support his children."

"Well, it's time to make some money. Ting'er was already supporting himself when he was his age."

Lu Fengnian knew the purpose of Zhu Jinghong coming to the Lu family. Wasn't it just to ask his sister-in-law to help Zhu Ting take care of the children for free?

If he agreed, he would definitely offend the eldest family. After all, it was the eldest family who paid his sister-in-law to look after his grandson. If they paid him, it would be easy to talk about it. Now he had no say in the matter.

"Old Lu, I came here today to talk to you about Tingting. Your Lu family will have another grandchild by the end of the year. My Tingting is still in college, so she naturally won't be able to raise the child by herself after she has one."

"Old Zhu, with your connections, Xiaoting can actually apply for a year's leave of absence. It won't be a problem if she graduates a year later."

Zhu Ting pouted and interrupted in dissatisfaction, "Dad, you're biased! My sister-in-law didn't drop out of school back then, so why should I? She's become a hands-off boss since she had a child. Even though it's summer vacation now, she still returns to the Lu family every day to report in, as if Lu Yiming isn't her son."

Lu Fengnian was somewhat glad that Su Yan was not here today. If she were here, there would definitely be a lot of noise and chaos.

When Lu Fengnian heard Zhu Ting's rebuttal, his face became even uglier. He didn't expect that Old Zhu's daughter would be like this. She was very quiet when she first came to the Lu family, but now she is relying on the baby in her belly and is completely disrespectful to her elders.

Seeing Lu Fengnian's expression change, Zhu Jinghong scolded Zhu Ting, "Tingting, how could you talk to your father-in-law like that? Apologize to him now. I'm sorry, Old Lu. Tingting has been spoiled by my wife over the years."

Zhu Ting lowered her eyes and whispered, "Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have refuted you."

Hua Jing held Lu Yiming and sat aside, pretending not to hear. Lu Chen and Lu Yu were helping Hua Min in the kitchen. If they didn't invite the Zhu family to dinner when they came over, they would definitely be gossiped about.

Madam Zhu glanced at Zhu Ting and said, "Your temper has worsened since you became pregnant. My dear, this child doesn't mean what she says. Please don't take it to heart."

The Zhu family actually blamed the second daughter-in-law's bad temper on her pregnancy. When the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, she never talked back or lost her temper. The so-called scholarly family is all bullshit.

"Alright, Madam Zhu, I'm Old Lu, so how could I possibly argue with a junior? What brings you here today?"

"My daughter Tingting came back to her parents' home and said she was too young to take care of the child because she had to go to school, so she wanted to abort the child. This is nonsense. Pregnancy is so difficult, how can you just abort it?"

Lu Fengnian now looks down on Zhu Ting even more. Whenever something happens, she goes back to her parents' home to complain. Is she complaining to her family that he, her father-in-law, wants her to divorce Xiao Jin?

The child is already making a fuss before she's even born. If she really gives birth to a son and still doesn't make a fuss, then do he and Xiao Min have to listen to her?

"No one in our Lu family asked her to have an abortion. As for who will take care of her child after it's born, I want to make my position clear here today.

Xiao Min can only take a month off to take care of her during the confinement period. It is impossible for her to quit her job and come back to help your daughter take care of the child.

My cousin was specially invited by my eldest brother to help take care of the children. I have no right to assign her any work because we are not the ones who pay her salary.

Seeing his wife about to retort, Zhu Jinghong quickly grabbed her and said with a smile, "Old Lu, we can't abort the baby in Tingting's belly, but there's no one to take care of it after it's born. What do you think we should do?"

"Old Zhu, your grandson shouldn't need much care anymore, right? How about asking your wife to go to the courtyard and take care of Xiaoting's child?"

Zhu Jinghong was stunned. "Old Lu, if my wife doesn't take her grandson to her daughter's house to take care of him, won't my eldest daughter-in-law be furious?"

"Since Madam Zhu is not available, why don't they ask someone to take care of it?"

"We have no objection to hiring someone, but the couple just got married and they don't have much money. Hiring someone to take care of the child will cost about 20 yuan a month, and the cost of food for more people at home is not small."

Lu Fengnian naturally understood this problem. Wasn't it that Lao Zhu said this in front of him just to force the couple to pay? If they paid for the second family, the eldest family would definitely have opinions.

Even if he goes back to give the boss some extra money, it's probably useless because the gap is already there.

"Old Zhu, you know my family situation. I have four sons. I didn't have a wedding banquet for the eldest son because I owed it to the second son.

He even bought an extra bicycle than his elder brother, and seeing that they had no money, he gave all the money for the wedding banquet to him.

When my Lu Ting got married, he only gave the Su family 400 yuan as a gift and a watch. We didn't give them anything when they moved out."

Lu Ting and his wife have left Lu Ting's children with them. It is not known how the old couple supports their eldest grandson.
