When the two arrived at the compound, many people were talking about the Lu family's birthday banquet that day.
I mainly want to talk about two things. One is that the seventh son of the Lu family is indeed dating a girl from the Chen family in a county in the southern province.
Another issue is that Lu Zhengnan from the Shen family will definitely cause a scene, and there's also the fact that Shen's wife is suspected of being pregnant.
After walking for about five minutes from the entrance of the compound, the two arrived at the Lu family's residence.
Along the way, familiar people greeted us warmly.
Aunt Li gossiped: "Seventh son of the Lu family, are you bringing your girlfriend home?"
Aunt Deng joked, "Zhengjing, Chen's sister, I was thinking at the banquet that you two are a perfect match."
Grandma Hu urged, "Xiao Lu, you're not young anymore, hurry up, this old woman is waiting to drink your wedding wine!"
"Young lady of the Chen family, don't worry. I've watched Lu grow up; he's got guts. He'll be a good husband as he gets older."
"Okay, Aunt Hu!" Lu Zhengjing smiled and happily coaxed Grandma Hu a couple of times.
"Okay, thank you!" Chen Xihua nodded gently in response. This kind of friendly neighborly greeting was just polite and a slight smile was enough.
When the two stepped into the Lu family's gate, the guards at the door did not look them in the eye.
Chen Xihua wasn't nervous and followed Lu Zhengjing inside. At this time, the entire Lu family was in the living room, but thankfully, the second branch of the Lu family wasn't there.
Lu Zhengjing: "Father, eldest brother and sister-in-law, fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law!"
"Seventh Brother is back!"
Welcome to my home, Chen.
Since you said you're trying to date my seventh son, I'll treat you as his friend for now.
If you're not satisfied with Lao Qi, I'll introduce you to other men, around your age, and with even better temperaments!
The first to speak was Old Master Lu.
His eyes showed satisfaction, and he spoke in a gentle and kind manner, just like the concern one would show to a younger member of a family.
The seventh brother has a good eye. The fifth daughter of the Chen family, despite her young age, has a remarkable presence that catches the eye.
When she first entered, she was confident and poised, showing no sign of timidity or shyness, and her eyes were bright and clear.
The reason why Grandpa Lu was so eager to invite Chen Xihua to his home today was because he learned about the situation from his niece, Lu Zhengyi, and made the decision immediately.
It turns out that his seventh brother had liked her for a long time, but because of what happened between Changxing and her eldest sister back then, both the girl and the seventh brother probably felt awkward, especially the girl.
Therefore, his formal invitation to her home today is a way of showing the Lu family's attitude towards her.
The Lu family didn't look down on the Chen family or any girl from the rural area of the county.
There were many factors involved in what Lao Qi and Chang Xing did, and the person who wanted to oppose it was his own daughter, Lu Zhengnan.
Chen Xihua nodded slightly, parted her lips slightly, and said in a crisp voice, "Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to bother you!"
"Hello everyone!" She paused slightly, momentarily unsure what to call the others.
The couples Lu Zhengde and Du Lan, and Lu Zhengren and Wu Chanjuan, were all very warm and friendly.
Lu Yiyang's eyes sparkled, while Lu Zeyang was still somewhat uneasy because of what happened with Zhou Qingqing at noon.
Du Lan noticed Chen Xihua's hesitation and said warmly and cheerfully, "Hello, Chen classmate. I am Zhengjing's sister-in-law. You can call me Sister-in-law Lu."
“Yes, Xihua, I’m Fifth Sister-in-law!” Wu Chanjuan said with a smile.
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the Lu family's door: "I want to come in!"
It was Lu Zhengnan who rushed over. She had just seen Lao Qi and that girl walk into the Lu family from a distance.
But she was stopped by the guards. "Zhang Hongqi, what do you mean?"
“Comrade Zheng Nan, Commander Lu said you are not allowed to enter!” Guard Zhang Hongqi said sternly.
"Move aside! Father won't stop me from coming in. Even Chen Xihua can come in!"
Lu Zhengnan was furious. She shoved the guards and wouldn't let it go.
She just saw it; the seventh brother took that girl back to the Lu family.
Inside the house, Old Master Lu's face was indifferent, but his whole body exuded an undeniable air of authority. He looked at his eldest son and said, "Zhengde, go out and take a look."
“Yes, Father.” Lu Zhengde turned and left, his expression serious and helpless.
"Zhengnan, stop shouting, I'll take you home!"
The father invited Chen's fifth son to his home as a guest. As soon as he returned, he instructed the guard not to let the second son go back to his parents' home.
Fortunately, the seventh brother and the Chen family girl had just entered the door when the second sister arrived. If she had been stopped at the door, it would have been a laughing stock.
Father knew about the foolish things his second sister had done. She must have come to ask him for help with her job.
If someone in Changxing wants to have a second child, it's indeed not a good idea to leave them at the police station.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Nan was so confused that she even interfered in her son and daughter-in-law's sex life. Lu Zhengde really didn't know what to say about this second sister.
"Brother, I'm not going back! I want to see Father!" Lu Zhengnan was furious when he heard his brother's words.
Because Lao Qi's boyfriend came, he deliberately avoided her. Is it because she, as a married daughter, is ashamed to be seen by others?
If it were before, and the guards had firmly stopped her from returning to the Lu family, she would have let it go.
But today, she insisted on going in. Lu Zhengnan, disregarding everything else, shouted, "Father, don't you recognize me as your daughter anymore? Father..."
Soon, one or two neighbors heard the noise and came out to look.
Lu Zhengde tried to pull her away, but Lu Zhengnan dodged him and was about to shout, "Father..."
"You damned brat, Zhengde, let her in!" Old Master Lu roared angrily.
Although he was old, he was still sharp of hearing and sight, and of course he heard his daughter shouting at the door.
He had originally thought that it was best not to air his dirty laundry in public, so he let it go.
Looking at the fifth son of the Chen family in front of him, his expression was natural, neither curious nor surprised, as if nothing had happened.
Soon, Lu Zhengnan stormed in, and Lu Zhengde also jogged in.
When he saw Chen Xihua sitting on one side of the living room with Lao Qi, chatting and laughing with his father.
Ignoring the occasion—since they were all family—Lu Zhengnan strode up to Lu Zhengjing and began to question him:
"Seventh Brother, don't you know the situation of the Chen family? Why did you still fall for her lie?"
"Second Sister!" Lu Zhengjing's face darkened.
"Zhengnan, shut up!" Old Master Lu sternly reprimanded.
Chen Xihua remained calm. She knew Lu Zhengnan well; he was an extreme and biased person who only believed what he thought was right.
The rest of the Lu family seemed to have gotten used to it, their expressions awkward and helpless!
“Father, you’ve all been deceived by her. You stopped me at the door just to entertain her. How could you do this?” Lu Zhengnan turned to his father and asked him with a righteous indignation.
Old Master Lu felt a tightness in his chest, which grew increasingly suffocating. He thought about what his daughter had done, and how she had truly caused Changxing so much suffering.
He knew why his daughter had come to him, but he wouldn't help her.
Having fewer and better births is a matter of national policy. Changxing is not someone who shirks responsibility. If I help him, I will only harm him.
He slowly stood up, faced Lu Zhengnan, and spoke earnestly.
"Zheng Nan, you can't control what Lao Qi and Chen are doing, it has nothing to do with you."
Mind your own business, Shen family!
You're over forty, not twenty anymore. Can you please stop being so unreasonable?!
He's acting like a complete madman!
He got angrier and angrier as he talked!
Lu Zhengnan was incredulous and furious. Pointing at Chen Xihua, he said:
"Father, am I being unreasonable? Do you think I want to interfere? You've all been fooled by this little bitch!"
Snap!
Old Master Lu slapped Lu Zhengnan across the face.
