Lu Ting originally wanted to leave work early, but as soon as he stepped out of the office door, his father came over.

"Dad, why are you here today?"

"We took Lanlan back to the military hospital early this morning, and we just came home to see her after we dealt with her case. I heard someone said that you made a mistake and your wife was pissed off and left."

"Where did I go wrong?"

"What happened to the young comrade who was locked up for questioning?"

"I saved her and her mother during the earthquake relief efforts. She was transferred to our military region, and I don't know how she came to find me."

"You bastard, I was wondering why Xiao Su was so irritable these past few days. It turns out it's because of you! I'm telling you, you can't make any mistakes. If you dare to divorce Xiao Su, I'll break your legs."

He had never dared to divorce his wife, and now his wife was ignoring him and wanted to divorce him. He felt really wronged. He had never even held hands with other women, so why did they all think he had cheated on her?

"Dad, I didn't do anything!"

"Hmph, it'll all be over once you do it. Your wife is five years younger than you and very beautiful. You don't know how many men envy you for finding such a good wife. If you don't cherish her, you'll regret it one day.

I heard from your mother that you haven't been home for 10 to 20 days. What have you been doing?"

"The military district was holding a small competition, so I took them to training every day, and also had meetings to customize their plans. I didn't get back until 9:30 pm. If I went back to the city, it would probably be 11 pm, which would disturb Yanyan's rest. Xiao Huang was tired from driving, and I was tired from running around, so I didn't go back."

Lu Fengnian believed his son wouldn't mess around. His eldest son was like him, determined that this was the only one for him. When he was young, there were women who tried to seduce him, but he remained indifferent.

Isn't it stupid to ruin your marriage and career for an outsider?

"The little competition is over. Now you have some free time. Go back and spend more time with your wife and children."

"Yan Yan went to Shanghe Village. I was going to ask Xiao Huang to take me there. Dad, how's Lan Lan?"

When Lu Yilan was mentioned, Lu Fengnian sighed and said, "Don't talk about her. That child is ruined."

"Did you take her to the hospital for a checkup today?"

"Well, the baby is pregnant. Lu Jin and his wife are so anxious that their lips are covered in blisters. Sun Minghao's hometown is in Hebei. Your mother and I plan to go there with your brother and his family tomorrow."

"What about the baby in Lu Yilan's belly?"

"It's better to give birth to the baby."

They clearly said last night that if Lu Yilan was pregnant, she should have an abortion. Why did they force her to give birth to the baby now that the diagnosis was positive?

"How can they have children if they can't get married?"

"Lanlan is a little young, so we can let them hold the wedding banquet first, and then register the marriage when she turns 20. You know, there are still many people who have grandchildren but don't even have a marriage certificate."

"What if the man doesn't agree?"

"Our family is so well off, why wouldn't he agree? Sun Minghao's hometown is in the countryside, his parents live in a small town, and his father is just an ordinary worker."

"Then how much do you hope the man will give as a gift?"

"We're not asking the Sun family to buy a TV. We have to get the three turns and one ring. We can't let my granddaughter down."

Lu Ting remained silent. The Sun family was not well off and there might be more than one child in the family. Sun Minghao's father was the only one working, so how could they raise so much for the betrothal gift?

Also, Lu Yilan saw that Yanyan was making money from running a clothing store and wanted to open a clothing store too. Wouldn’t her dad be so foolish as to pay for her help?

"Dad, Lanlan wants to open a clothing store. Are you planning to give her money to open the store?"

Lu Fengnian frowned and said calmly, "She does have that idea, but opening a clothing store requires a lot of money to rent a storefront and purchase goods. If your mother and I take out all the coffins, what will we eat?"

Lu Ting sneered. It is said that the crying child gets the milk. Ever since Lu Jin was found, his parents have been subsidizing their family.

Lu Yilan is now the most shameless girl in the Lu family, and she has taken advantage of her parents many times.

"If Dad uses his retirement money to help Lu Yilan open a shop, I guess if she has a child, you guys will have to raise it. I wonder if my sister will bring the whole family here to make a scene if she finds out."

Because Lu Yilan's biological mother was not around since she was a child, everyone felt sorry for her and gave in to her, even her younger brothers and sisters had to give in to her, which made her spoiled and willful.

Especially his mother, who treated Lu Yilan like a treasure and always kept her by his side with great care. Fortunately, in his father's eyes, Yiming was the most important.

"Dad, Yanyan and I won't interfere in Lu Yilan's affairs. Lu Jin will host the banquet, and we can just pay the bill."

Lu Fengnian opened his mouth to say something, but Lu Ting continued, "We have a lot of girls in the Lu family. If Lu Yilan starts this, what will happen if everyone else follows suit?

I don't blame her for leading our Rourou astray. She even had the nerve to ask Yanyan to lend her money to open a shop. Yanyan wanted to save money to start a business in the south, and she had to go to the bank for a loan, so how could she afford to lend money to others?

In short, he wouldn't lend it to her even if he had it. It's not his fault for being stingy. If Lu Yilan hadn't caused all this trouble, his wife wouldn't be so angry, and she wouldn't have happened to run into that female comrade who came to borrow a book from him.

It is his duty to be filial to his parents, but his brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews are none of his business, and he has no obligation to support them.

Lu Ting counseled Lu Fengnian for a few more words and hurried downstairs. Now that the small competition was over and he had taken a day off today, he should go back to Shanghe Village early.

Su Yan had just sent the truck driver away and was taking her child home when Su Qingshan came in with an enamel basin of jelly.
