Lu Yu also knew that his wife would definitely not be happy to hear this news, but it was better for them to go back, because he would go on a mission after the New Year.

The son turned two years old in the first month of the lunar year, and the daughter was only a few months old. If the mother didn't stay at their house, the daughter-in-law would have to take care of the two children alone and probably wouldn't even have enough to eat. So he might as well take this opportunity to let the daughter-in-law go home and live with him, and then go back to see them when he takes a vacation in the future.

When Lu Yu returned, he told He Na about this. Even though He Na was unhappy, she finally compromised. She wasn't stupid. Since she couldn't change anything, she had to compromise. Her husband didn't resist, so her resistance would only cause disharmony between the couple.

She was reluctant to divorce Lu Yu, and she was still waiting for Lu Yu to let her live a rich life.

Lu Yu likes her being well-behaved and sensible, so she naturally won't be stupid enough to learn from Zhong Lingshan.

Lu Chen also received the news in advance that Lu Yu's wife had given birth to a daughter as a second child. Chen Yuhe was secretly happy to hear the news, and she gradually calmed down in the past two months.

When her mother came to see the child, she told her a lot of truths, such as how to get along with each other, how to maintain the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and how to maintain the relationship between sisters-in-law...

Chen Yuhe is not stupid either. She knows where Lu Chen’s breaking point is. If they continue to make trouble, the relationship between the couple might really break up.

She was just unhappy because she gave birth to two daughters in a row. Plus, she liked to compare herself with other sisters-in-law. All of them gave birth to sons, but she didn't. She must have felt very uncomfortable.

She is conceited and strong-willed, wanting to outdo others, but she has no ability. In order to prevent others from looking down on her for not being able to give birth to a son, she wants to keep her mother-in-law by her side as a nanny.

As soon as Hua Min left, she had no problem taking care of the children alone. Because Lu Chen was afraid that she would not have time to cook, he would go to the cafeteria to get lunch for his wife and eldest daughter at noon.

Lu Chen also told her that in order to be fair, his parents would let his mother go back after his sister-in-law finished her confinement. If they wanted their mother to take care of their child, they could bring the child home and everyone could take care of it together.

Chen Yuhe felt that she had won. If she hadn't made a fuss that time, her mother-in-law would definitely have stayed at He Na's house for the New Year.

Anyway, she couldn't keep her mother-in-law, so He Na couldn't keep her either. If He Na wanted to go back to the courtyard, she would take her two children back with her.

Anyway, they live together, they don't have to spend any money, and she doesn't have to do any work. Why not just have food and drink?

No matter how much money He Na and Chen Yuhe gave to their parents for the New Year, her family would give the same amount. She wouldn't give more anyway.

When Lu Fengnian came to pick up his wife home on New Year's Day, He Na took the initiative to go with them, and in the middle of the month, Lu Chen also sent the mother and daughter home.

The daughters-in-law have returned, and Lu Fengnian was worried that they would quarrel over trivial matters, so he gave them warnings in advance.

Zhong Lingshan is not very afraid of her mother-in-law, but she is really a little scared when her father-in-law gets angry. He Na is very smart and will not express her opinions openly even if she has any. Sometimes she will take the initiative to help her mother-in-law with some housework to please her.

Of course, at this time she would not take the initiative to add fuel to the fire and stir up conflicts between Chen Yuhe and Zhong Lingshan.

At the end of the year, there was a lot of work waiting for them to do at home, and Chen Yuhe, a pregnant woman, had no choice but to work.

The job of collecting firewood was left to the children. As a mother, she always had to wash the clothes of her own children, starch and wash the bedding and sheets before the New Year, and also clean the house.

Her mother-in-law had no time to cook, so she had to take over because every time she had to cook, Zhong Lingshan and He Na would hide in the room to feed the baby.

Chen Yuhe felt that her parents-in-law were just looking for trouble. It would be fine if her mother-in-law came back, but why did they call those two back? With more people coming, there would be more dishes to wash.

Fortunately, she didn't help wash the clothes of the adults and children. Sometimes Chen Yuhe would get angry when she saw her mother-in-law washing the clothes of the two children as well.

She wanted to find someone to quarrel with, but those two seemed to have made an appointment. As soon as they saw her, they took the children and hid in the room.

It's the end of the year and in order to have good luck, one cannot swear words to avoid bringing bad luck to the coming year. Chen Yuhe gritted his teeth and endured it.

Su Yan didn't expect that her father-in-law really called He Na, Zhong Lingshan and others back. She was still thinking that if her parents-in-law were celebrating the New Year at Lu Yu's house, then their family could return to the Siheyuan to celebrate the New Year this year.

On the 20th of the lunar year, Lu Ting came back from the city and gave the rent he collected to Su Yan.

"Wife, two families moved out after the New Year, and there is only one left. Do you think we can rent out the other courtyards?"

"Rent it, but tell the new tenants they can only rent it until the winter of 1976. Also inform the last tenant and give them another two years."

“Why didn’t you rent it at the end of 1976?”

"At the end of the year, I will take the children to live in the city and let them go back to school."

"What should I do if you all go back to the city? Wife, do you want me to stay in the army alone?"

"When you have time to rest, return to the city. I will come back when I am free."

Su Yan didn't tell Lu Ting that she planned to open a shop in the city and start her business in the spring of 1977, and she would wait until after the incident in 1976 was over.

Lu Ting was still thinking about how to keep his wife by his side so that the triplets could stay in the city to go to school and his mother-in-law could help take care of them.

Su Yan suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, my brother might be transferred back next year. Let's send them more food this year!"

"Oh, that's good. However, his previous position has long been taken by someone else. Now that he's back, his position must have changed!"

"That leader has returned this year. Once he's settled down, he'll definitely slowly make arrangements for my brother. After all, my brother helped them a lot before and married his daughter."

"Don't worry about your eldest brother. We'll find a way to get all the tea seeds in the warehouse to Jinshi these next two days. They'll take them to be pressed for oil."

"If we press it now, I'm afraid there won't be any tea oil left until the New Year."

"Don't worry, I'll ask them to leave us 100 kilograms of tea seed oil. We'll go to Jinshi again after the Lantern Festival."

"Want to sell grain and cotton? Want to sell fruit shops and pigs?"

"Sell. We'll stay in Jinshi for two days. I've asked someone to rent a large warehouse there, and they can come over and pick it up when the time comes.

It's the tea seeds in the warehouse, you have to find a way to put them into sacks."

"Once the sacks are used up, they are gone. Why don't you ask your friends to recycle them? We will give them a pot of orchids for the New Year."

The situation in the past two years has not been as serious as in previous years. Everything seems peaceful outside. As long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, no one cares whether you have flowers at home.

"Give two pots, one for my friend and one for his grandfather."

"Okay, I'll give you a pot of Phalaenopsis and a pot of Clivia."

Anyway, Phalaenopsis orchids are not expensive. She naturally would not give away these precious orchids, such as Suguan Heding, Lianban Orchid, and Jade Orchid... These orchids still need to be sold for money.

"Okay, pick out two more plain flower pots. Once the tenants move out, we can plant more flowers in the courtyard. We only have fruit trees in that yard now."

Su Yan knew that Lu Ting had seen something. Perhaps he had also sensed that the situation was getting better and he would be free to do whatever he wanted in the future.
