When the Lu family finished dinner and prepared to cut the cake, Lu Zheng had not returned yet.
Lu Ming noticed that his father looked at the door several times, and wanted to take the initiative to ask whether he should go out to look for his brother, but when he saw Lu Hai's eyes lowered again, he decided not to speak.
Maybe I was just overthinking it. My father usually disliked his younger brother the most, so how could he wait for him?
After Lu Hai made his wish, he cut the two-layer cake himself. He kept the first piece for himself, gave the next two pieces to the youngest in the family, Nianniansuisui, and the rest were divided by Lu Ming.
Although Lu Ming is not as capable as Lu Zheng, his emotional intelligence is still sufficient in the Lu family at times.
He started distributing it from the oldest to the youngest, planning to first distribute it to people of Lu Ping, Lu Juan and their generation, and then to the younger generations in the family.
When it was Su Jianwei's turn, Su Jianwei looked at Lu Ming who was about to leave after giving him his share, and said with a smile: "Third brother, A Zheng hasn't had it yet."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Zheng doesn't like cake."
"It's his choice whether he likes it or not, it's your responsibility whether he breaks up or not."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, this one is for Xiao Zheng."
Su Jianwei put Lu Zheng’s cake aside and sat down to continue taking care of Nian Nian Sui Sui while she ate the cake.
When Lu Ming went to continue dividing the cake, Zhu Xiaoran walked up to Su Jianwei and said, "I like you like this."
Su Jianwei looked at Zhu Xiaoran in confusion. What was she doing?
"It means protecting your significant other's face no matter who you are in front of."
Su Jianwei suddenly realized, "Thank you."
She and Lu Zheng are a family, a couple. If they don't protect each other, then there will be no warmth in this family.
Zhu Xiaoran sighed and said, "Let me tell you, the reason Yang Xiufen and Xu Laoer are having such a big fight and wanting a divorce isn't just because of Xu Laoer's infidelity from more than a decade ago."
"I heard from the Xu family's nanny that it seemed like yesterday when Xu Laoer and his family went out for a drink, Xu Laoer's cousin got drunk and pointed at Yang Xiufen's nose and cursed, and even slapped Yang Xiufen."
Su Jianwei frowned.
"Yang Xiufen was furious and rushed forward to slap him back, but was caught by Xu Laoer, who said his cousin didn't mean it and was just drunk. He also said that a drunk person's slap couldn't hurt much."
Su Jianwei was speechless.
"When I heard this, I wanted to slap Xu Lao Er twice. It's fine that his wife was bullied outside, but he didn't care at all and even asked his wife to take a step back. A man like this doesn't deserve a wife!"
Zhu Xiaoran was so angry that she couldn't help but say, "This is the kind of man I despise the most. Can a housewife be bullied at will? Why?"
"So, what Xu Laoer said today complaining about Yang Xiufen was just a fuse." Su Jianwei said from the side.
She had met Yang Xiufen several times, and she was not such an irritable and brainless person.
"That's right, Weiwei, let me tell you, this Xu Lao Er dared to humiliate his wife in public this time, letting others step on his wife's face at will. He might have done something even more outrageous in the past."
"No matter what, Yang Xiufen is his wife of decades. They've been together for so many years, and their child is already this big!"
"Everyone needs dignity. Xu Laoer wants dignity, but doesn't his wife Yang Xiufen want dignity?"
"He didn't even think about it. The fact that his cousin dared to hit his wife in front of him was actually a slap in his face!"
Su Jianwei nodded, "To put it bluntly, the person his cousin despises the most is him."
As soon as Su Jianwei said this, Zhu Xiaoran immediately felt like he had found a soulmate, "That's right!"
"So I say that Xu Lao Er's current situation is entirely his own fault. Yang Xiufen..."
Zhu Xiaoran sighed deeply when he said this, "Oh, I hope he's okay."
While the two were talking, Lu Zheng also returned from the Xu family.
Zhu Xiaoran looked at Lu Zheng, who came over to Su Jianwei as soon as he returned, and asked, "How are things at the Xu family?"
“I don’t know.”
Zhu Xiaoran: “…”
Why are these two people so tight-lipped? They just don't know the answer to any questions people ask them.
It's not our family's business, so there's nothing wrong with sharing it with everyone.
"Want some cake?"
Lu Zheng looked at the cake in Su Jianwei's hand and shook his head.
When Lu Ming saw this scene, he glanced at his brother and sister-in-law. He said that Lu Zheng had never liked eating cake since he was a child.
"It's getting late, let's go home."
After Lu Zheng finished speaking, Su Jianwei nodded.
Nianniansuisui was playing with Lu Hai in the backyard while Su Jianwei and Zhu Xiaoran were talking. Now that they were ready to go home, Su Jianwei went to call the two children.
It was Lu Hai’s birthday and everyone who came brought big and small bags.
As a result, every year when I leave, I still have a lot of bags in my hands.
Lu Ping's eyes twitched slightly as she looked at the things in the hands of the two little ones. One of them was the one she took away when she wanted to leave. Inside was a watch made of pure gold.
Lu Ping suspected that Su Jianwei was hinting to the two little ones to take the gold watch, so she said to Lu Hai, "Dad, did Sui Sui take the wrong gold watch?"
As soon as Lu Ping said this, Lu Juan and Liu Jing's eyes turned over.
Lu Hai took a look and said, "It's yours every time!"
Niannian took out his gold watch from one of the bags.
Lu Ping and the others' faces turned black, but Lu Hai smiled and nodded, saying, "You got it right. Take it back and let the children play with it."
Lu Ping frowned and said, "How can you give such valuable things to children to play with? You might as well just buy them two balls!"
Lu Hai glanced at his daughter and said, "I can give my things to whoever I want."
Su Jianwei looked at Lu Ping and the others with expressions that looked like they had eaten shit. Although they didn't lack these things, she and Lu Zheng never asked about the things Lu Hai gave to the children.
"Grandpa, come and play with us when you have time!" Suisui said, holding Lu Hai's hand.
Lu Hai nodded, "When I have time, Grandpa will go to your grandfather to play chess and have fun with you!"
"Goodbye, Grandpa!"
"goodbye."
Su Jianwei and Lu Zheng left with Nian Nian Sui Sui under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd.
After getting in the car, Sui Sui, who was so carefree, said to Su Jianwei: "Mom, this is how my aunt looks at people!"
Sui Sui tried hard to squint his eyes, which made Su Jianwei's mouth curl up.
She pinched her daughter's soft little face and said, "Don't learn from her. It's not nice to look at people like that, understand?"
Sui Sui nodded her little head, then turned around and studied with Nian Nian the gold watches that Lu Hai had given them.
As the family of four arrived at the door of their home, they saw a tall and strong man bending over and talking to Mr. Du opposite. Next to them was a little kid who was not much older than Nianniansuisui.
When Sui Sui saw the little kid through the car window, he exclaimed in surprise, "Brother!"
