Chapter 237 Getting Harder

Ai Xiaoxia found that her father-in-law was growing up quite fast, so she didn't even need to learn any nonsense. She just refused directly. She winked and smiled at Lu Jingshen.

Lu Jingshen also laughed. The change in the thinking of these people in the family was all thanks to Ai Xiaoxia.

Wang Jinfeng was so angry that she gasped: "Second brother, you are living a good life now, so why don't you take the opportunity to help your brother more? Can't you say something to reassure me?"

Lu Guojiu still didn't hesitate and said, "Mom, I have a little son at home who is in school and he has to get married in the future. Doing business is risky. I can't guarantee that I will always make money. Besides, my health is not good, so I really can't spare so much attention. If I can live my own life well and not cause you any trouble, isn't that also filial piety?"

Wang Jinfeng was so angry that she was half dead. She thought that these were the ideas that Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen had instilled in Lu Guojiu.

But she was helpless at this time. She actually regretted that she should not have talked about the eldest son first. She should have talked about the youngest son first. The youngest son's home is not like home now because he lost his job and had no money. If the youngest son went to work for Ai Xiaoxia, he would definitely earn more than Lu Jingxin. Wouldn't that be the same as working before, or even earn more than before?

Her mind was almost spinning as she finally figured out how to steer the conversation in that direction: "Second brother, the burden is indeed not light. Jingyuan still has to go to school and will have to get married in the future, but Jingyuan still has a few years to go. Jingxin is about to graduate, and he also has to arrange his marriage in the next two years. You said that Guosheng lost his job. Wouldn't that delay him from finding a partner in the future? Second brother, why don't you talk to Xiaoxia and let your brother go to work for Xiaoxia? It would be considered as helping Jingxin, right?"

Lu Guojiu was completely opposed to this. He said without hesitation, "Mom, I won't interfere in my child's business. They have their own rules and regulations when running a business. You can't just assign people to do it casually."

Wang Jinfeng said, "Look, this system was set by humans, right? Let's just be flexible. We're all family."

Ai Xiaoxia didn't say anything, just wanted to see how Lu Guojiu would refuse.

Lu Guojiu did not let her down and said directly to Wang Jinfeng: "Mom, it's useless for you to say anything. The most annoying thing about Xiaoxia is nepotism. I can't help my child now, and my child has to run a factory for me. Speaking of it, I can earn money to support Jingyuan's schooling. This is the credit of Xiaoxia and Jingshen. Now I want you to make the child unhappy? I can't do it."

In the past, perhaps Lu Guojiu still couldn't say these words, but after having dinner and chatting with Lin Jianye yesterday, he understood that parents' attitude affects their children. The children of the Lin family are all successful and confident because of their parents' support. He always held his son back in the past and was far behind Lin Jianye. So even though he is nervous now, he must let his child see his attitude.

Ai Xiaoxia really wants to applaud her father-in-law this time. His idea is really great.

Lu Jingshen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He never thought that his father would say such words. If his father had been like this before, the family might be much better off. But it didn't matter. At least now his father was the person he expected. He knew in his heart that these were the changes brought about by Ai Xiaoxia after she married him. He was very lucky to have such a good wife.

Wang Jinfeng never expected that her second son could speak so many profound truths, no matter how reasonable they were or how tough they were. She had never looked at this son carefully before, and now she looked at Lu Guojiu as if he was so strange, as if she didn't know him.

It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she could only say to Ai Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, why don't you let your uncle go to your place and try working there for a while. If it doesn't work, you can ask him to come back." She had no other choice but to talk to Ai Xiaoxia like this.

Ai Xiaoxia was very determined: "Your uncle's age and work experience are not suitable for our store. There is indeed no position suitable for him. Don't bother." She refused directly.

Lu Guosheng had been full of anticipation, but now he said angrily, "Forget it, Mom. I won't beg you anymore. I'll just leave it at that. My son is grown up now, and he can support me after he graduates."

Ai Xiaoxia's worldview was completely overturned when she heard Lu Guosheng's shameless words. "Uncle, how old are you? Why do you have to rely on others? Even if you get a car and sell fried skewers at the school gate, you can make a lot of money. I've never seen anyone in their forties who has to rely on their children for support."

Lu Guosheng snorted and said, "If you don't help me, then I'll let my son support me. What's wrong with that? Do I need you?"

Ai Xiaoxia was truly ashamed of the person: "I didn't mean to control you. I just hope you don't regret it later if you do this."

What she said just now was because she really felt that Lu Guosheng's thinking was too shameless, and she was also a little worried about Lu Jingxin.

At this moment, she thought of one thing, that is, her parents and niece need to be old enough to receive pension money. Now that Lu Guosheng has not retired, Lu Jingxin does not need to provide for his retirement, so there is no need to worry.

But listening to Lu Guosheng's words, Jiang Zhi became excited: "Lu Guosheng, I'm telling you, don't think about making things difficult for the child. Jing Xin worked part-time to pay off his debts because you didn't graduate. You still want him to support you? You're dreaming."

Lu Guosheng was a tough guy: "I am just like this, what can you do to me? Either you don't divorce me, or I will let my son raise me."

Ai Xiaoxia was afraid that Jiang Zhi would continue to live with Lu Guosheng because of these worries, which would be quite sad.

So she said to Jiang Zhi, "Don't worry, little aunt. Children and parents have their own conditions for supporting their parents in their old age. My uncle is young, so even if he takes him to court, he won't be in the right. He is not of retirement age and is able to work, so it won't affect Jingxin's peace of mind."

Jiang Zhi finally felt relieved after hearing what Ai Xiaoxia said: "I feel relieved when you say that. I'm not afraid of any trouble myself, but I'm afraid of implicating Jing Xin. I only have this one son. Even if I don't want my life, I have to make sure he's well. I don't want him to learn bad things from your uncle in this family."

Lu Jingshen said to Jiang Zhi, "Don't worry, auntie. If Jingxin doesn't want to work in the city, I can help him find a job in the provincial capital. He has an education, so he won't have any trouble finding a job anywhere."

Jiang Zhi was happy this time: "Jing Shen Xiao Xia, I thank you on behalf of Jing Xin."

Hearing their happy words, Lu Guosheng became anxious: "No, what do you mean? Lu Jingshen, Ai Xiaoxia, are you hoping for me to get divorced?"

Lu Jingshen said to Lu Guosheng, "Uncle, you're truly unfit to be a father. What do you want Jingxin to learn from you? Learn to be lazy and gluttonous? Or to smoke and drink? Parents all hope their children will achieve great things and have a bright future, but you're treating your child like a tool. Don't you feel guilty?"

Ai Xiaoxia also said: "Yes, Jing Shen's and my parents are both wholeheartedly doing what's best for us. They are impartial. I have two older brothers, and my parents treat the three of us equally. Because of my parents' selfless dedication and fairness, we all know how to be grateful and united. Parents are the best teachers for their children. Are you setting a good example?"
