Chapter 212 Useless Struggle

At this time, Lu Guosheng spoke up: "Mom, don't be angry. How can we brothers really hold a grudge? Sister-in-law has no blood relationship with us. Maybe she doesn't understand, but I've thought a lot these days. Who is closer than brothers? As the saying goes, brothers are as close as bones. We brothers will get along well."

He is not stupid. He will need Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia a lot in the future, so he must get along well with Lu Guojiu now.

Wang Jinfeng nodded with satisfaction: "The third child is still sensible. Big brother, you should also learn from your younger brother. You can't listen to your wife in everything. Brothers are siblings."

After saying this, Wang Jinfeng felt that something was wrong, because it seemed like she was insulting her daughter-in-law. She was also afraid of making Jiang Zhi angry. After all, she didn't want Jiang Zhi to divorce Lu Guosheng.

So Wang Jinfeng said again: "This daughter-in-law also has to know whether she is sensible or not. Look at Jiang Zhi, she has no opinions at all. Shao Fen is the same. It's just that the eldest brother's wife is usually spoiled too much. Boss, do you know what's going on in your heart?"

Lu Guoji was still quite obedient to his mother. Moreover, his wife had embarrassed him today and made him lose face in front of his mother and brothers. He glared at Jiang Lirong and said, "Stop talking to me. Wait until everyone leaves and see how I deal with you."

Jiang Lirong felt truly aggrieved today. She had done nothing wrong, so why was she being targeted? Her daughter-in-law was pregnant, a major event for the Lu family. How well had she taken care of the family over the years? In the end, she received this kind of attitude from her mother-in-law and husband. She felt awful.

She looked at Lu Guoji with a feeling of grievance and said, "Lu Guoji, you are so ungrateful. How much have I sacrificed for this family over the years? I gave birth to children for you, raised your son to be a talent, got him a job, found him a good wife, and now he's going to have a grandson too. What have I done wrong? What gives you the right to say that to me?"

Lu Guoji felt guilty, but he was a bit chauvinistic. It was impossible for him to bow his head when his wife said that in front of these people. How embarrassing that would be.

He said to Jiang Lirong, "You married me and are my wife. It's not your duty to do these things. Look at which wife doesn't do these things? Why are you special? If you talk back to me again, I'll punish you."

Jiang Lirong felt very aggrieved. She could do whatever others said, but she was really sad when her husband said that. She said to Lu Guoji angrily, "Lu Guoji, you have guts. I don't think you can handle this family without me. I'm leaving." After that, she ran out the door.

Lu Jingxue was about to chase after him.

Lu Guoji stopped Lu Jingxue and said, "Jingxue, come back here! I want to see where she can go. Her brother and sister-in-law, and her younger brothers and sisters-in-law are not allowed to enter the house. If she finds out that there is no place for her outside, she won't need to come back at night."

Lu Jingxue hesitated for a moment and looked at Wang Jinfeng.

What Wang Jinfeng feared least now was her eldest daughter-in-law. As her eldest son had said, her parents were gone, so how could she count on her brother's wife, her younger brother's wife, or her younger brother's wife? She had nowhere else to go, so she could just come back when the time came. Unlike Jiang Zhi, her parents lived in the city, and she owned half of the house, and she had a job, so she wasn't afraid of divorce. Li Shaofen had her son to rely on, so she didn't have to worry about Jiang Lirong at all. Furthermore, Jiang Lirong had bullied Li Shaofen a lot in the past, so this was an opportunity to win her over. For Wang Jinfeng, this was a good thing.

She said to Lu Jingxue, "Jingxue, don't worry about your mother. She has done too many wrong things over the years and has taught you the wrong things. Look how good Jingxin, Jingshen and Jingyuan are. What about you? You live in the same village, but you are so distant from your cousins. Isn't this all your mother's fault? She is not virtuous and has caused unrest in our family. You must discipline your Zhang Tingting well in the future. She can't have the same personality as your mother, otherwise our family will be in chaos."

Lu Jingxue was actually a little confused at this time, because these people today were different from before, but he was not stupid. He knew that his grandmother loved him, the eldest grandson, very much, so what Wang Jinfeng did now would never harm him. As for his mother, she was his own mother, so he couldn't hold a grudge against her. He ignored her for now. Anyway, she had nowhere to go and had to come back at night.

So he didn't chase Jiang Lirong, and said to Wang Jinfeng: "I know, grandma."

Zhang Tingting is now even more confused, because what Wang Jinfeng said just now showed her dissatisfaction with her, but her husband did not refute it and agreed. What does this mean?

She originally thought that her status would be secure after she became pregnant, but now she feels uneasy because her mother-in-law wants to have a grandson, and now she is being used as a sacrifice. Everyone in the family is wary of her.

The more Ai Xiaoxia watched, the more interesting she found it. Everyone in this family was very cunning, and each of them had his or her own little calculations.

At this moment, the room suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Wang Jinfeng said quickly, "It's getting late. We should all have the reunion dinner at the eldest brother's house at noon today. It's Chinese New Year, so we have to have a reunion dinner, right? The eldest brother's wife is not at home, so the second brother's wife will take care of it. Today, I will listen to Shaofen."

Li Shaofen quickly waved her hands: "Mom, this is my eldest brother's house, don't listen to me, we all listen to you."

Jiang Zhi understood what Li Shaofen meant and helped her say to Wang Jinfeng, "Mom, I'll help my second sister-in-law cook. This is my eldest brother's house, and we're not familiar with it, so we'll just hurry and cook."

Lu Guoji said to Zhang Tingting, "You should do more work and don't let your second aunt and younger aunt get too tired. They are guests."

Zhang Tingting originally thought that she would be the first of her grandchildren to be pregnant, and that she would be the object of everyone's attention and protection this year. But now, she has to be the one who does the most work.

But she didn't dare to resist now and could only agree.

Ai Xiaoxia also followed Li Shaofen and others to the kitchen to help.

Lu Jingshen, Lu Jingyuan and Lu Jingxin also went out to help carry firewood and water. Lu Jingxue felt embarrassed to just sit there idle.

After everyone left, only Wang Jinfeng and her three sons were left in the room. Wang Jinfeng also needed this space to talk to her sons.

She looked at her three sons and sighed deeply, "I was really wrong before. What's more important than you two brothers being united? It's all my fault."

To be honest, Wang Jinfeng now really realized her previous mistakes. If it weren't for her bias, and they helped each other, they should have become rich together now, right?

But it was really too late to say these words. In Lu Guojiu's heart, it was already too late. Even if Wang Jinfeng had said these words half a year earlier, he might have been moved. But now it was completely impossible. His heart was already cold.

Lu Guoji actually understood that he and Lu Guojiu had been in the same village for many years, and he knew what they had done better than anyone else.

But he had a little hope, that was his mother was still alive. In order to reassure the old lady, Lu Guojiu had to be obedient.
