In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
At lunchtime, Lawyer Fang and Ling Ran returned to Zhou's residence. "Miss Zhou, thank goodness I've accomplished my mission. All the properties and goods in Lu Yongan's store will be compensated to you. The three Lu Chunjiang brothers will move out tomorrow."
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's have lunch here!"
"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful. My family won't arrive until the day after tomorrow, and I only know how to boil water for instant noodles."
After arranging for Lawyer Fang to sit down, Zhou Xiang softly asked Ling Ran, "Where's Auntie? Why didn't she come with us?"
Ling Ran's face looked unhappy. "She was taken away by her three sons. I wonder if she will soften her heart."
"Then don't worry about it. Can she still get another house for her three sons?"
"That's right, let's eat!"
Returning home surrounded by her three sons, Dong Yunyue sighed softly as she looked at the living room that had barely changed and the messy kitchen. In just twenty days, everything had changed.
No, things had already changed when her husband was supported by his three sons to open a shop;
When her daughters-in-law are more cunning and competitive than each other;
When she took the gold bar from Zhou Xiang;
When she couldn't earn enough money to marry her daughter-in-law;
When she couldn't change her husband's temper, she focused on controlling the family;
As she gave birth to son after son;
When her father married her to this man who had a formal job and looked honest;
Everything has changed.
Since we grew up and no longer have the joy of childhood, time has changed with every step, and things and people have changed all the time.
She was reluctant to touch anything in the living room. This place was decorated by her bit by bit. Her lifelong pride was not giving birth to three sons, but that she bought this four-bedroom apartment with her own efforts.
As a result, after climbing to the peak of life, he fell directly off the cliff.
The three Lu Chunjiang brothers looked at each other, and the eldest brother, Lu Chunjiang, spoke up, "Mom, since you can't bear to part with it, why don't we buy it back ourselves?"
Dong Yunyue turned around and asked coldly, "What are you going to buy it with?"
"Gold, gold bars."
"Oh!" Dong Yunyue chuckled, "Gold bars? The gold bars were given by Zhou Xiang, and this house is compensation to Zhou Xiang. I'm going to use the gold bars she gave me to buy her property?
Chunjiang, when did you become so shameless?
Do you know how much you have to pay for reputational damage? There's practically no upper limit!
Why did Zhou Xiang only take the house and the goods in the store? Because she would not take back what she gave away.
What she took away was what we had worked so hard to earn, the money and things your father had earned by using her reputation.
If she wants the three in your hand plus the three of mine, she will have to pay them all this time. She has left you some room and has not let you go to the bottom of the world.
Yet you shamelessly want to use the gold bars she gave you to buy back her property. Can you be any more shameless?"
Dong Yunyue walked into her room and began to pack her daily necessities.
Lu Chunjiang looked at his younger brother and said, "You heard it too. It's not okay to have wild ideas. My cousin's wife wants to teach us a lesson. She wants to teach us a lesson for not being filial to her aunt.
I can do anything with this gold bar, you can do whatever you want! Lixia, pack up your things, we will go back to your house and stay for a while.
Jia Lixia hesitated. "Chunjiang, if we go back, the villagers will know that we broke up with Miss Zhou, and we won't be able to take advantage of her influence."
Lu Chunjiang stared into his wife's eyes. "Lixia, when did you change? Since your family intends to take advantage of Miss Zhou's influence, why don't you treat her aunt well? There is no such good thing in the world!
At first, my cousin's wife had a good impression of you. You married into the county town from the suburbs, and everyone said you had landed in a good fortune. Why didn't you cherish it? Why did you push me to separate?
Jia Lixia looked at the second and third daughters-in-law, gritted her teeth, and told the truth, "It was the second and third families who said they wanted to split up. They said that after the split, they wouldn't have to watch Mom throwing things around every day."
Lu Chunjiang looked at his two younger brothers. "What about you? Did you also listen to your wife's instigation?"
Lu Xiawen sighed, "Brother, it's no use saying this now. Yes, it was my wife who instigated this, but I'm also fed up with our mother's strict control over the family."
"Okay, stop talking. You'll soon experience the benefits of being controlled by our mother. Just take care of yourselves!
Lixia, if your parents don't want us to go back, or if you don't want to go back, then just get a divorce and you can live wherever you want."
Jia Lixia immediately went back to her room to pack up, "Go home and stay."
Dong Yunyue packed up her things. There were three large bags that she couldn't carry with her, so she called out to her eldest son, "Chunjiang, use your phone to call your cousin and ask him to drive over to pick me up."
"good!"
Lu Chunjiang quickly came out of the bedroom, took out his cell phone and made a call.
Dong Yunyue sighed. Normally, she couldn't get anyone to do anything, but now it was too late no matter how well she performed.
Ling Ran came very quickly. He was happy that his aunt was not coaxed away by her three cousins.
When I was moving things for my aunt, I met my uncle and aunt at the elevator entrance on the first floor.
"Uncle, aunt, you don't have to go upstairs, aunt will be down soon."
"Ling Ran," Dong Yunsheng followed behind his nephew, watching him stuff the large package into the back seat of the seven-seater car. "Ling Ran, what's going on with your aunt?"
"You and your aunt are free, right? If so, let's go to the market town together. We can't park here for too long."
"Okay, let's go together. If I hadn't heard others talk about the verdict at the court gate, I really wouldn't have known that this happened in your aunt's family."
"We only responded immediately after realizing how courageous Lu Yongan was. If we had waited any longer, he probably wouldn't be in the detention center, but would have been taken care of by those two... Auntie, here."
Ling Ran turned around and was about to go back to move more things when he saw his aunt coming downstairs, followed by Lu Chunjiang and Lu Xiawen, each carrying a large package.
Ling Ran stuffed the two large packages into the last seat and said to his uncle, "Uncle, you squeeze into the last seat!"
"Okay!" Dong Yunsheng nodded and turned to look at his two nephews. "Chun Jiang Xia Wen, check your conscience, think back to your childhood, and ask yourself if you regret it. In this world, money can't buy you the medicine for regret."
After saying that, he got in the car and squeezed next to the big package in the back seat.
Dong Yunyue sat next to the package in the middle seat and left the passenger seat to her sister-in-law.
Ling Ran patted his two cousins on the shoulders and said, "Are you satisfied? Are you free? Go and enjoy your freedom! Don't ever enter my territory, or I'll let the dogs bite you."
The car left. Lu Chunjiang glanced at his elder brother and turned to go upstairs.
~~
Seeing where his sister lived, Dong Yunsheng was a little dissatisfied. Dong Yunyue waved her hand and said, "What does it have to do with me if you are dissatisfied? As long as I am satisfied, you should mind your own business. What you should care about are your two sons.
I carefully selected two daughters-in-law, but the third son insisted that he liked the third one. As a result, a single bad apple spoiled the whole barrel!
I advise you! If your son does not listen to your advice when marrying a daughter-in-law, and you separate the family after marrying her,
No, marry one and divide one. After serving your man and son for decades, it’s time to enjoy a peaceful life. The young couple can go on their own.”
