Chapter 193 Leaving the Capital
The more Lu's mother thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Her gaze swept over the buildings outside the car, and she paused for a moment.
Seeing the guard drive the car into the compound, her mood instantly improved.
It seems that Mr. Lu has forgiven her.
The car had just stopped
Lu's mother couldn't wait to get out of the car, pushed open the gate, and happily walked into the living room, where she saw Lu's father sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
She walked straight to the sofa opposite and sat down, then called out to the kitchen, "Sister He, make me a bowl of egg noodles."
Upon hearing this, Aunt He quickly replied, "Yes, Madam."
When Lu's mother saw that the fruit plate on the coffee table was empty, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. Why didn't they even put out snacks at home?
He kept complaining, "Hey, Lao Lu, you have no idea how awful the food on the train is."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu didn't even glance at Mrs. Lu, put down the newspaper in his hand, and closed his eyes to rest.
When Lu's mother saw that Lu's father ignored her, she pouted and thought, "We've already let her come back, why are you still putting on airs?"
A moment later, Aunt He placed the egg noodles on the dining table and said with a smile, "Madam, the meal is ready."
Lu's mother snorted coldly, stood up, walked to the dining table, and began to wolf down her food.
She was starving. She had only eaten one meal during the long train journey, and the food was barely palatable.
"Crunch."
The living room door was pushed open by six expressionless strangers, followed by Brother Lu and his family of three.
When Lu's mother looked up and saw so many people, she frowned slightly.
When they saw their eldest son behind them, they stopped eating.
He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and quickly walked to Brother Lu's side, anxiously asking, "How is it? Has the matter been resolved?"
Brother Lu glanced at his father, who was sitting silently on the sofa, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.
He gave Lu's mother a smile that looked more like a grimace: "It's resolved."
Standing next to Brother Lu, Fang Yi was startled when she heard his voice in her right ear; she was terrified of being beaten these past few days.
Mr. Lu opened his eyes and glanced at Fang Yi and Miao Miao, who were behaving timidly.
He waved to the guard beside him: "Give them the transfer order."
Upon receiving the order, the guard immediately took out two transfer orders from the document bag and handed them to Lu's mother and elder brother respectively.
After taking it, Lu's mother looked at it with a puzzled expression.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide, and her voice trembled: "What does this mean!"
Mr. Lu rubbed his temples, glanced at Mrs. Lu, and said sarcastically, "What? It's written in black and white, why do you still need to ask me?"
Tears welled up in Lu's mother's eyes instantly, and she roared, "What right do you have to interfere with my work?"
Father Lu's eyes instantly turned cold: "Don't you like Lu Huaixu? He went to the Northwest, and you didn't go with him. Are you comfortable with that?"
Upon hearing this, Lu's mother was stunned for a moment, then quickly snatched the transfer order from Lu's brother's hand.
Upon seeing the above content, I was so angry that I trembled all over.
He roared angrily, "How could you ruin my son's future? You knew perfectly well that he was competing for the factory manager position!"
Brother Lu listened to their argument with his head down, a smile playing on his lips.
He hoped that Mr. Lu would change his mind about sending his family to support the Northwest, out of consideration for Mrs. Lu.
Mr. Lu's sharp gaze swept over his silent eldest son.
Like a cowardly turtle, he has no sense of responsibility and always uses Lu's mother as a tool.
She gave Lu's mother a cold look: "You only remember your eldest son's future, why don't you think about your youngest son's future?"
Lu's mother was furious. Her youngest son had already become a regimental commander at such a young age. What future did he need?
Mr. Lu glanced at Mrs. Lu's face and knew what she was thinking: "Foolish woman."
He'd worked so hard for so long, and she almost ruined it all.
If it weren't for Lu Huailin's intelligence in knowing to quickly send his mother to the guesthouse...
Once a family dispute breaks out among them in the family compound, those who are watching Lu Huailin will be able to ruin all his efforts.
"I disagree." Tears welled in Lu's mother's eyes, and her voice was choked with emotion.
“I’m willing to go, since I’m retiring soon anyway, but I can’t ruin Huaixu’s future.”
Mr. Lu stood up abruptly, pointed at Mrs. Lu, and said sternly, "I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you."
After saying that, he looked at Brother Lu to the side and said, "Since you've chosen not to get a divorce, then live your life well."
Lu's mother clutched the transfer order tightly in her hand, knowing that Lu's father would not change his mind.
After calming down, she realized that she couldn't change the fact that she was going to the Northwest. Since the emperor was far away, she shouldn't blame her for using her father's name to make some moves.
Fang Yi mustered her courage and took a step forward.
She knelt down in front of her father with a thud, crying out in anguish, "Dad, I want a divorce."
When Miao Miao saw Fang Yi kneeling down, she was so frightened that she burst into tears, and the living room suddenly became lively.
Upon hearing this, Lu's mother stared intently at Fang Yi: "How dare you mention divorce?"
Fang Yi ignored Lu's mother, knowing this was her last chance.
She raised her head and looked directly at Lu's father: "Dad, Lu Huaixu is a beast. He has already made my left ear deaf. If I stay with him, I will die."
After saying that, he took off his cotton coat without regard for everyone present, revealing the bruises on his arms.
Lu's mother hated Fang Yi to the core. If it weren't for her older brother, how could Lu's father have allowed them to support the Great Northwest?
At this time, Lu's mother was unaware that Fang Yi had also gotten involved.
"A couple might quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed; which couple doesn't quarrel?"
After finishing speaking, Lu's mother walked up to Fang Yi and slowly helped her put on her clothes.
He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Since Brother Fang was able to harm my son, it's not too much for you, as his sister, to pay off his debts, is it?"
Mr. Lu stared at Fang Yi without replying.
Instead, he waved to the veterans standing to the side, who immediately went to Lu's mother, took her arm, and led her outside.
Caught off guard, Lu's mother was suddenly restrained by the two men and roared, "Let me go!"
Lu's father looked at Lu Huaixu, his eyes devoid of any emotion: "Don't try to play tricks on me. When I was fighting the Japanese, you were probably still waiting to be reincarnated!"
Brother Lu looked worried: "Dad, Miaomiao is too young. She can't handle the climate and environment there."
Upon hearing Brother Lu's words, Miao Miao cried out, "Waaah... Grandpa, Miao Miao doesn't want to leave you."
Mr. Lu glanced at Miaomiao expressionlessly.
"The tickets have been bought. These people will be going to the Northwest with you. If they find out you're up to something..."
Mr. Lu paused for a moment, then sneered, "They have the right to enforce family discipline on you."
Brother Lu froze upon hearing his father's words, glancing at the four burly veterans remaining in the living room.
He knew that these veterans were all from the Northwest.
She looked up at her father with hatred in her eyes: "Dad, do you have to be so ruthless?"
Lu's father didn't even glance at his eldest brother, but greeted the other veterans.
The two veterans immediately restrained Brother Lu, preventing him from resisting.
The other two veterans restrained Fang Yi and Miao Miao, who was crying her heart out.
Fang Yi glanced at Lu's father with a deathly pale face, then stopped struggling. She regretted it; she shouldn't have provoked Lu's father.
"Dad, you'll regret this. Once we're gone, you'll be all alone." Brother Lu shouted at the top of his lungs.
Brother Lu never expected his father to be so heartless.
With bloodshot eyes, he said, "Dad, pray that I never go back to Beijing in my life!"
As Mr. Lu watched their departing figures, he felt uneasy. He knew that if he didn't have someone keep an eye on them, Mrs. Lu would definitely not give in.
The mother and son were used to being high and mighty, and they got everything too easily, so they didn't know how to cherish it.
Without his own and his youngest son risking their lives in the army, who would know them!
