Lu Xue'er touched her neck and said truthfully, "He pinched me, but I hit him back. I'm coming back to stay for two days."

Grandpa Lu gave a faint "hmm".

Just when Lu Xue'er thought he wouldn't respond, he changed the subject, "I'll have Old Li give him a talking-to tomorrow."

Lu Xue'er was touched that her grandfather would stand up for her. "Thank you, Grandpa."

Grandpa Lu didn't say anything.

If it were him in the past, he probably wouldn't have bothered with these things.

But now the Lu family is broken up, and the only people he can truly confide in are his second son's family and his grandchildren, only Yunzhang and Xue'er are still willing to acknowledge him.

As people get older, they especially long to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren.

Besides, Qin Huaijun's treatment of Lu Xue'er is a slap in the face to the Lu family.

Although the Lu family is not what it used to be, it is not a family that Qin Huaijun, a young man with no ability, can bully. If it were his father, Qin Jinye, the old master Lu would have to think twice.

Lu Xue'er told Grandpa Lu a lot about her experiences in the Qin family.

This includes Lin Xiaoxiao giving birth to a son for Qin Yushen.

Old Master Lu's eyebrows twitched slightly. "It's a son? What's his name?"

Lu Xue'er pouted, "I don't know. You know that I don't get along with her, but I heard from my father-in-law that her nickname is something like An'an."

An'an.

Old Master Lu pondered those two words carefully in his mind several times.

The only great-grandson of the Qin family is also the only great-grandson of the Lu family.

Unfortunately, given how much the fourth brother and his wife hated him, they probably wouldn't see him again until he died.

A surge of regret instantly overwhelmed Old Master Lu.

"Grandpa, you..." Lu Xue'er was speaking when she looked up and saw that Grandpa Lu was in tears, his aged face full of countless regrets.

In an instant, he looked as if he had aged more than ten years.

Grandpa Lu wiped his face and said to Lu Xue'er, "Go see your father, comfort him, and don't overthink it. The sins you commit will always have to be repaid. Now that it's paid, it's time to look forward. Let him think more about Yunzhang."

“…Okay.” Lu Xue’er pursed her lips and walked out of the room.

Lu Hua already had a leg ailment, and after being beaten by Wen Mo, his old injury flared up and he suffered new injuries. He has been bedridden for several months now.

He kept shouting that he was a useless person.

He even said he wanted to kill Wen Mo.

After seeing him, Lu Xue'er's hatred for Lin Xiaoxiao's family intensified.

Her family, which she was so proud of, was torn apart by Lin Xiaoxiao's parents. How could she not hate them?

But there was nothing she could do.

They could only watch as Lin Xiaoxiao's life got better and better, while the Lu family declined more and more.

Li Yuan returned home during dinner time, carrying clothes she had bought from the Friendship Store. It turned out she had gone shopping. Perhaps it was the joy of shopping that made her less angry, even when she saw the marks on Lu Xue'er's neck.

He simply said, "It's good that they fought back."

Lu Xue'er felt a little uneasy, and when she heard arguing coming from her parents' room that night, she became even more irritable.

"Mom and Dad, what are you arguing about so late at night? Aren't you ashamed?"

Li Yuan snorted, "Shameful? Haven't I embarrassed myself enough? My man is a cripple. When we go out, everyone points fingers and makes sarcastic remarks. I think it's because we've had a good life for too long. Twenty years ago, I couldn't compare to your fourth uncle, and twenty years later, I still can't. I've completely lost face."

Lu Hua, with a ferocious expression, grabbed a pillow and threw it at her.

"You slut, don't think I don't know you like the fourth brother. You did such a shameless thing twenty years ago. If it weren't for Yunzhang, I would have divorced you long ago."

"Hey fourth brother, why don't you go find him? He has a beautiful, well-off, and rich wife. Do you think he'd even look at you?"

"Even if you were given to Lao Si for free, he wouldn't want you."

Li Yuan was struck on a sore spot. She screamed and lunged at Lu Hua, scratching several bloody marks on his face with her fingernails.

Even though Lu Hua was bedridden and unable to move easily, he was still stronger than Li Yuan.

The two fought fiercely, their expressions so ferocious they looked like demons, as if the other was some irreconcilable enemy.

They are clearly... a married couple.

Lu Xue'er stood blankly at the door, suddenly unsure of what to do.

In the end, it was Grandpa Lu who had Aunt Xu separate the two.

"If you can make it work, then make it work; if you can't, then get a divorce." Old Master Lu's cloudy old eyes swept across the two faces, his voice weary.

Lu Hua sneered, "Divorce? Let's get divorced tomorrow. Whoever doesn't is a slut."

Li Yuan remained silent.

divorce?

impossible.

Her brother and sister-in-law treated her well; she never felt uncomfortable whenever she returned to her parents' home. Her sister-in-law treated her like a younger sister. But she knew that all of this was based on the fact that she was the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

If she really gets a divorce and goes home, it'll be fine in the short term, but in the long run, her brother and sister-in-law will definitely have complaints about her.

Her family was not as well-off as the Lu family.

She was able to marry Lu Hua only because she used a lot of scheming.

"Yunzhang is my son, I'm not getting a divorce." Her attitude wasn't as arrogant as before, but it wasn't weak at all.

She was able to stay in this family not because of the man, but because she gave birth to a smart and ambitious son.

Lu Hua wants to divorce her? Dream on.

"If you two keep arguing, you'd better move out and not disturb my rest." Old Master Lu felt a tightness in his chest; he wasn't in a good mood.

The old man is the absolute authority in this family.

As soon as he spoke, Lu Hua and Li Yuan fell silent, their heads bowed, not daring to say anything more.
