"What's going on? What lady?"
Ye Qinggang was already unhappy. He finally found Lu, but before he could be happy, he was poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
He grabbed Mrs. Lu and said, "Wife, what do you mean by this? Your parents and children are waiting for you at home!"
"Rong An missed you so much last night that he cried himself to sleep."
For some reason, Ye Qinggang felt uneasy, so he immediately brought up his son to play the emotional card.
When Mrs. Lu heard her youngest son crying and looking for her, she felt very distressed.
But before she could say anything, the young lady beside her said, "Sister Lu, have you forgotten what my wife told you?"
Lu, who had just shown signs of wavering, suddenly became firm again.
Ye Qinggang knew something was obviously wrong the moment he saw it!
He pulled Lady Lu behind him, frowned at the young lady and said, "Are you a liar? What are you trying to trick my wife into doing?"
"Don't slander me. Sister Lu was bullied by you. She came back alone and didn't even have a place to stay. She couldn't even find any relatives.
"If my wife hadn't taken her in, Sister Lu would be in such a mess right now!"
After hearing this, Ye Qinggang suddenly realized that something was wrong. He turned his head to look at Lu and found that the clothes she was wearing did not seem to be her own at all.
Although the color is low-key and inconspicuous, if you look closely you will find that it is made of high-quality cotton.
Moreover, the dress did not fit Mrs. Lu well, it was a little too big, and the waist was obviously much wider, so it was folded and tied with a belt.
"What are you wearing? Why haven't I seen this kind of clothes before?" Ye Qinggang just wanted to ask, but for some reason, his tone turned into questioning as soon as he opened his mouth.
Mrs. Lu said with a look of surprise, "I have found a job now. This is the dress that the mistress of the house gave me temporarily.
"Don't tell me, I won't go back with you."
"What do you mean by 'found a job'?" Ye Qinggang was stunned by the news. "Lv Yuxiu, explain yourself clearly!"
Mrs. Lu, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly looked up and looked at Ye Qinggang with red eyes.
To be honest, when she heard that Ye Qinggang came to see her, her heart had already softened.
She could let go of everything else, but her two sons were her flesh and blood, especially Rong'an, who was still young.
She had only been away from home for two days, but she couldn't sleep both nights because she missed her son so much.
If Ye Qinggang had said a few soft words after they met, she might have agreed to go home with him.
Who would have thought that even though Ye Qinggang had come to pick her up, his words became more and more unpleasant, and his temper was even worse than hers.
Not only did she not admit her mistake, she also said that the elderly and children at home needed her.
Everything was exactly as the mistress of the host family had said.
This made Mrs. Lu even more determined not to go back easily.
"I said I found a job in the village." Mrs. Lu straightened her back and raised her voice. "The old lady of Mr. Lu's family in the village needs someone to take care of her. Mrs. Lu knows that I have experience in taking care of people, so she wants me to go to her house to work, and I have agreed.
"You always said before that the family depends on you to make money and support the family, and that you are under a lot of pressure, and I don't understand you.
"Now is the perfect time, let's switch.
"I work hard at Mr. Lu's house to earn money, and I'll leave the household affairs to you.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Lu said that she would give me two days every month to go home and see the children.
"I will give money to the family every month, you just need to take good care of the family."
"No, I... Lu Yuxiu, you..."
Ye Qinggang was completely confused at this moment, and his brain could no longer keep up with his wife's pace.
"What did you mean by that? Are you saying that you will be the one working outside to earn money to support the family, and I will be the one taking care of the elderly and children at home?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Mrs. Lu said, "Didn't you always say that I don't know how hard you work if I don't make money?
"I'm out here making money now, isn't it also to give you a break?"
Ye Qinggang was completely anxious this time, and he grabbed Lu's arm and refused to let go, saying, "No, how can I do the housework?
"Besides, spring plowing is just around the corner. If you can't take care of the family, how can I have the time and energy to go out and farm?"
"At worst, we can hire someone to plant the crops. If that doesn't work, we can just rent the land out!" The young lady who had been silent for a long time interrupted again.
"You make it sound so easy! Doesn't hiring people to plant seeds cost money?
"What do you mean by renting it out? You sound so relaxed. It's already this critical moment. The manure has been transported to the fields. Spring plowing is just around the corner. It would be a loss to rent the land out now..."
"It's okay. You can't make money, but Sister Lu can!" This young lady really pokes at Ye Qinggang's lungs with every word. "Guess how much monthly salary my wife gives Sister Lu?"
"Tsk, how much can there be?" Ye Qinggang said unhappily.
The young lady stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Ye Qinggang several times before saying, "Look carefully, food, shelter, and clothing are provided, and the monthly allowance is two taels of silver!
“My wife said that Sister Lu is very attentive and patient, and she doesn’t mind the trouble of the elderly, nor does she mind the dirt.
"Within less than two days of arriving at the house, he had already made the old lady very comfortable and extremely satisfied with her.
"My wife also said that if Sister Lu does a good job, she will give her a monthly salary increase in the future!"
Ye Qinggang roughly calculated in his mind that he could get two taels of silver a month. According to custom, the host would usually give him a red envelope or something during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival every year.
