Grandma Lu not only favors boys over girls, but also behaves like a wicked mother-in-law towards her own daughter-in-law.
Grandpa Lu never cared about these things. He only cared about whether the Lu family had an heir.
Lu Xiangbei had an older brother, but he died in an accident when he was 18 years old.
The pain of losing a son in middle age could not stop them from having children. As a result, the first two children were girls. They were very disappointed and continued to try.
Finally, when they were both 45 years old, Lu Xiangbei was born. Fearing that the previous accident would happen again, they gave birth to their last child, Lu Xiangnan, when Grandma Lu was 48 years old.
Grandma Lu therefore felt that if she could do it, her daughter-in-law could do it too, so when facing her daughter-in-law, Grandma Lu would urge her to give birth to a boy.
When she first married Lu Xiangbei, Lin Xiang and Lu Xiangbei lived in the Lu family's ancestral home.
Lin Xiang has a bad temper, but she can endure it for Lu Xiangbei.
At first, Lin Xiang would endure it, but after her daughter Lu Xinyao was born, she couldn't stand the lack of attention and contempt shown by Grandpa and Grandma Lu towards their granddaughter, and when they urged Lin Xiang, who had just given birth, to have a second child, Lin Xiang couldn't stand it anymore and had a big fight with the two old people.
Lu Xiangbei knew his parents very well, and he also knew that his wife had been tolerating his parents' actions because of him.
Before getting married, Lu Xiangbei had wanted to take Lin Xiang out to live away from home with his parents.
But seeing that her parents-in-law were so opposed, Lin Xiang discussed with Lu Xiangbei to live with them first.
Seeing that Lin Xiang agreed, Lu Xiangbei had no choice but to agree, but he did not give up the idea of buying a house outside.
When Lin Xiang was pregnant, Lu Xiangbei had already bought a house outside as their home.
Originally, Lu Xiangbei wanted to move out at that time, but was strongly opposed by Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu. Lu Xiangbei had an argument with them. In the end, both sides took a step back and decided to move out a year after Lin Xiang gave birth.
At that time, Lu Xiangbei and Lin Xiang did not think about the old couple's thoughts and agreed.
As a result, after Lin Xiang gave birth to Lu Xinyao, conflicts became more and more frequent. Even half a year after Lin Xiang gave birth, he began to urge Lin Xiang and Lu Xiangbei to have a son, and said that if she became pregnant again, she must ask the doctor clearly whether it was a boy or a girl. If it was a boy, she would keep the child; if it was a girl, she would abort the child and rest for half a year before trying again.
When Lin Xiang heard the old man say this, she was furious and immediately started arguing with the old man.
The old lady also started to make a fuss, saying that Lin Xiang was an unfilial daughter-in-law.
Lu Xiangbei was called back home by the Lu family's old housekeeper.
When Lu Xiangbei returned home, the three of them were still in a stalemate. The old lady was sitting on the ground, blocking Lin Xiang and not letting her go out.
The old man pointed at Lin Xiang and scolded her for disrespecting her parents-in-law.
Lin Xiang just stood there, saying nothing, pulling the luggage in one hand and holding the child in the other. Little Lu Xinyao was crying in Lin Xiang's arms, crying heart-wrenchingly.
As soon as Lu Xiangbei came back, his parents started complaining about Lin Xiang's bad deeds in front of him.
However, Lu Xiangbei didn't believe it at all. He knew that if his parents hadn't been too extreme, Lin Xiang wouldn't have lost her temper like this. So Lu Xiangbei stood on Lin Xiang's side.
Lu Xiangbei's reaction made his parents even angrier. They became even more angry, cursing and even beating him, saying that he was unfilial.
Lu Xiangbei ignored them and left the Lu family with Lin Xiang and Lu Xinyao.
From then on, the family of three lived in their own home.
Before Lu Hongyu was born, none of the three of them had ever returned to the Lu family's old house or visited the two old people.
Lu Xiangbei's sister tried to persuade him, but Lu Xiangbei just wouldn't listen. He had to protect his wife and children.
Lu Xiangnan understood Lu Xiangbei very well. After seeing clearly what kind of people his parents were, he made the decision not to get married or have children in this life. This was also the reason why Lu Xiangnan rejected Mi Jia, even though he was actually a little attracted to her.
But in order not to implicate Mi Jia, he lied that he had a lover.
But he didn't expect that so many things would happen later because of his refusal.
Lu Xiangnan's decision made the old couple of the Lu family very worried, but no matter how they tried to control him or what they said, Lu Xiangnan still did what he wanted.
After learning that Lu Hongyu was born, the old man and the old lady of the Lu family took the initiative to contact Lu Xiangbei and Lin Xiang in order to see their grandson, which completely broke the cold war. However, it was only during the Chinese New Year that Lu Xiangbei would bring his wife and children back to the Lu family's old house.
Sometimes if you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Everything is up to you.
After Mi Duoduo's life story was exposed, Lu Xiangbei only wanted to send Mi Duoduo to the Lu family's old house because he didn't like this child who was not born by Lin Xiang.
At the same time, this was also the decision of Mr. Lu. After knowing about Mi Duoduo's existence, Mr. Lu took the initiative to suggest that they raise the child.
"Xiangbei, your mother and I are old now, and we know that we went too far back then and we know we were wrong.
We also want a child to accompany us and don't want to be too lonely. But whether it's Xinyao or Hongyu, I know you won't be willing to give them up. So, since you don't like Mi Duoduo very much, just send her to me and your mother. We will help you raise her and let her accompany us. "
Lu Xiangbei was moved by Mr. Lu's words. He knew that he had been too unfilial over the years, so he agreed to Mr. Lu's request, also wanting Mi Duoduo to show filial piety on his behalf.
However, he didn't expect that Mi Duoduo didn't want to recognize him at all and didn't want to go back to the Lu family.
There was no other way, so Lu Xiangbei had to take his two children to the Lu family’s old house to visit his parents often.
How could the old couple of the Lu family still pay attention to Lu Xinyao when facing their eldest grandson?
In my memory, Lu Hongyu always respected his sister and often talked back to his grandparents, saying that his sister was very good and he wanted to take care of and protect her.
No matter what Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu said, Lu Hongyu still maintained the principle of "My sister is the best, I must protect her."
If someone asks Lu Hongyu who is the best person in the family, he will definitely answer without hesitation, "My sister is the best!"
Seeing this, Lu Xiangbei was very pleased and felt at ease leaving the two children in the Lu family's old house.
That's how it was. Whenever Lu Hongyu came, she would say, "Sister is good, sister is great, I love sister the most." The old couple of the Lu family also gave up. As long as the two children could come back to accompany them often, that would be enough.
When Lu Hongyu was fifteen years old, Mrs. Lu passed away, and then Mr. Lu passed away as well. Both old people were very calm and peaceful when they left. They lived very happily over the years with their grandson by their side.
Lu Xiangbei wanted Mi Duoduo to come back to attend the funeral, but although everyone in the Huo family came, Mi Duoduo was the only one missing. In the end, she did not show up.
