Chapter 820: Every family has its own problems

"The money and the account books are here."

Lu Miao smiled and joked while pushing the account book to Gu Ying for verification:

"If there is a mistake in the calculation, if there is more, then we can give less, but if there is less, we can't give more."

Gu Ying also smiled and pushed the account book back to her:

"If I don't trust others, how can I not trust you?"

"It has nothing to do with whether you believe me or not. You have to look at the account book anyway."

With just an account book, Lu Miao pushed it back again and again with a serious look.

Gu Ying laughed and had to pick up the account book to look over and add up the numbers.

Lu Miao listed the accounts clearly, but they were all items worth a few cents or dollars, and there were quite a few pages of records.

In this way, it will take a lot of time to just flip through it.

By the time Gu Ying finished reading, it was already seven o'clock in the evening and it was dark outside.

Considering her family, Gu Yingyuan said that she would not eat here so as to avoid having trouble taking the bus later.

Lu Miao tried to keep her, saying that he and the child's father would drive her back later and asked her not to worry.

Gu Ying couldn't refuse, so she had to follow the host's wishes.

During the meal, Lu Miao and Gu Ying sat side by side at one side of the long table.

During this time, Lu Miao asked:

"Xie Fei is staying at school to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam, and you're teaching here. It's so far from home, are you still running back and forth every day?"

Gu Ying paused and said:

"Even though the elders are all here, someone still needs to look after the house."

Lu Miao said "hmm" and nodded thoughtfully.

According to traditional thinking, there is nothing wrong with what Gu Ying said.

However, Xie Zhengguo and Yang Yun are still young and strong, so they don't need to be looked after by others.

Every day, buses have to reverse two or three times to run from the South Third Ring Road to the West Second Ring Road.

If you ride a bicycle, it will take at least an hour and a half to get there.

Gu Ying is an elementary school Chinese teacher, so she has to lead morning self-study classes.

Teachers are scarce, and she has several classes...

She basically spends the whole day in school. The phrase "get up early and go to bed late" is very vivid when used to describe her.

She worked so hard, Lu Miao thought, Xie Zhengguo and Yang Yun should be more understanding of her.

But, it seems that there is no...

After sending Gu Ying home after dinner, Lu Miao just walked out the door and into the yard, and then he remembered something. He took a few steps towards the rabbit cage:

"My family gave birth to a new litter of rabbits a while ago, and we've been raising them for about a month. Do you want some? Take a couple and raise them. It's almost December, and we'll raise them for another month. They'll be perfect for the New Year and we'll kill them and eat them."

Gu Ying said, "You can keep it for yourself and feed it to your children to supplement their nutrition."

"Rabbits lay eggs quickly, and they give birth every once in a while. We can't even keep them alive if we kill them all at home. Why should we leave any eggs for them?"

Lu Miao smiled and said that he should ask Fu Jingyou to clear out an old rabbit cage and put two rabbits in it for Gu Ying.

"These are easy to raise. The old vegetable stems that humans can't eat are just right for feeding them. You can raise them and kill them for New Year's or use them as rabbit breed to improve your life in the future. You can take them back and see the actual situation."

"Okay then."

Gu Ying nodded gently and said with a smile:

"Thank you so much for coming here to eat and take things."

"Where are you talking?"

Lu Miao tutted in anger, took her arm, and followed Fu Jingyou out, chatting and laughing.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when I wandered all the way to the Xie family's gate in the south.

"Who is it?"

"Mom, it's me."

Gu Ying knocked on the door.

Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou accompanied her with a rabbit cage, intending to send her in and then go back.

Unexpectedly, when Yang Yun came to open the door and heard Gu Ying knocking on the door, her tone immediately changed:

"Hey, it's so late, you still remember to come back?"

Yang Yun slowly and calmly pulled the bolt.

Outside the door, Gu Ying hesitated to speak, and finally turned to look at Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou awkwardly:

"Just send it here. It's getting late. You should go back early. I'll invite you over for dinner and tea next time we have a holiday..."

Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou looked at each other and put the rabbit cage at her feet before she could say anything.

The door to the Xie family courtyard suddenly opened from the inside, and Yang Yun said sternly with a stern face:

"Who did you bring back?"

Not only was Lu Miao shocked, but Gu Ying was also shocked.

Yang Yun wanted to scold as soon as she opened her mouth.

But she could see a few people clearly under the hazy light of the street lamp across from the door, and her expression changed like turning the pages of a book:

"Hey, is Xiaobao here? Come in and sit down!"

"No, auntie."

Not to mention that Lu Miao and Yang Yun don’t get along very well.

It's so late. If I go in, I'll waste my time and disturb others' rest. Where can I sit?

Lu Miao shook his head, picked up the rabbit cage and put it forward, explaining for Gu Ying:

"I ran into some problems over there, and I thought Gu Ying could help, so I invited her over to sit for a while... This was a last-minute decision. Next time something like this happens, I'll definitely call my uncle and aunt first to let them know so they don't worry."

After hearing Lu Miao's explanation, Yang Yun stopped talking about Gu Ying and asked Lu Miao in a friendly manner how he handled the matter and whether Gu Ying could help.

"Thanks to Gu Ying, everything is resolved."

Lu Miao wanted to explain clearly why Gu Ying came home late so that Yang Yun would have no reason to blame Gu Ying.

So I didn't stay at the Xie family.

Let Gu Ying have a good rest. After watching Gu Ying carry the rabbit cage into the yard, Lu Miao said goodbye and left with Fu Jingyou.

Lu Miao never felt how much Yang Yun liked him.

On the contrary, the more she got along with Yang Yun, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Especially when he saw Yang Yun's attitude change so quickly just now, Lu Miao felt it was scary.

Although everyone behaves in front of others and behind their backs, Yang Yun is a bit too picky and harsh towards Gu Ying, the daughter-in-law.

The door wasn't even open yet, and he said that.

If other friends or colleagues came with Gu Ying, what would they think when they heard it?

Lu Miao sighed and shook his head inaudibly.

Fu Jingyou saw it out of the corner of his eye and reached out to cover her hand.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay... I just think 'every family has its own problems' is absolutely true."

Fu Jingyou drove the car with his eyes fixed on the front. He knew that she was feeling this way because of what happened in the Xie family. He raised his eyebrows and smiled deeply, comforting her:

"This statement is not absolute."

"Um?"

"At least our family has never been so naive."

There were some minor frictions, but they were minor matters.

With a little patience or good communication, the problem can be easily resolved.

Lu Miao reacted and stretched his neck to look at him:

"What? You sound quite regretful. Do you want to hear it? Then I can read it to you later?"

"You should just sing. Singing sounds better than chanting."

Fu Jingyou shook his head and curled his lips in a low smile.

The lights from the roadside reflected into his deep eyes, sparkling and watery.

It seems to hide endless tenderness.

“How annoying!”

Seeing Tsundere, Lu Miao snorted and leaned back into the passenger seat.

After all this banter, I felt a lot better.

Lu Miao continued to chat with him leisurely:

"Do you have a meeting on Friday?"
