After thinking for a while, Liu Shulin shook her head, feeling that this path was not feasible.
Cai Junze asked: "Why?"
Liu Shulin said, "After what happened with the Niu Li family, Lu Qingyan must have become more cautious. She must have warned her parents not to follow in Niu Li's footsteps. Furthermore, the brothers in the Lu family are certainly keeping a close eye on us. If we privately contact Lu's father and mother and try to reach an agreement like the Niu Li family did, I'm afraid it will ultimately be in vain."
Cai Junze frowned and thought about it carefully. It seemed that this was the case?
After a moment of silence, Cai Junze said, "Although this is likely to happen, I still want to give it a try."
Although the chance is slim, what if you are lucky enough to succeed?
He still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Liu Shulin looked at him deeply and said, "You can try, but be careful not to cause any trouble that could have been avoided."
Cai Junze said: "I understand."
Then, for the next few days, he wandered around Wupo Village, trying to find an opportunity to get close to Lu's father and mother.
Most of the time, Mr. and Mrs. Lu stay at home to take care of the children and rarely go out. When they do go out, they just walk around the village or pick vegetables in the vegetable fields.
That day, Cai Junze finally waited until Lu's mother left the village to go to town to buy things.
He seized the opportunity and showed up when no one was around to "talk about something" with Lu's mother.
Seeing Cai Junze, Lu's mother was surprised!
Since Cai Junze and Lu Qingyan divorced, they have rarely seen each other again.
"Cai Junze, what's the matter?" asked Lu's mother.
Cai Junze exchanged a few pleasantries with her, then said, "Aunt Lu, I want to talk to you about Yang'er. Qingyan is leaving him at your house now, right?"
Hearing about Yang'er, Lu's mother became alert and said, "Cai Junze, don't try to get Yang'er. I'm not Niu Li, you can't bribe me!"
Cai Junze guessed that she would answer like this. With a flick of his eye, he asked tentatively, "What if I offer a higher price than what I offered to Niu Li?"
Mother Lu narrowed her eyes and asked, "How much did you pay Niu Li?"
Is there any chance? Cai Junze said, "Fifty taels."
Mother Lu's eyes were filled with thought as she asked, "Then how much are you going to give me?"
Cai Junze rolled his eyes and asked, "How much do you want?"
Mother Lu sneered and said, "Answer my question first."
Cai Junze said okay in his heart and said, "Sixty taels."
Mother Lu gave him a cold look and said, "Without a hundred taels, I think there's no room for negotiation."
He added, “Even if it’s one hundred taels, there’s no room for negotiation.”
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Cai Junze followed and said, "Aunt Lu, Yang'er is originally our Cai family's child. Look, now that Qingyan has thrown him to you, it's obviously adding to your burden. Not only will it consume your energy, but it will also consume your family's food. It's better to return him to us and get some money. Why not do it?"
"So, you used this rhetoric to deceive Niu Li?" A sharp look flashed in Lu's mother's eyes.
"We're not kidding," Cai Junze said. "If she succeeds, we'll definitely pay her. How can that be called kidding?"
"I told you, I'm not Niu Li." Mother Lu said coldly, "Your tricks won't work on me. Qingyan is my daughter, how could I stab her in the back? So, give up. Don't try to win me over with money. I'm not that easy to win over. Unless you can meet my asking price."
Then, he stretched out two fingers towards him and said, "Two hundred taels!"
"This is the only amount that can win me over!"
"Nothing lower than this!"
Cai Junze: “…”
Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t backstab your own daughter?
What? Just give me two hundred taels and you can stab me in the back?
Of course, he won't give this money!
The Cai family is not rich enough to spend two hundred taels to do such a thing.
"What if it's one hundred taels?" he asked tentatively.
"Of course not!" Lu's mother said, "If you want me to do something to let Qingyan down, you have to pay more! Otherwise, there's nothing to talk about."
Cai Junze walked silently beside her for a while. Mother Lu glanced at him and asked, "Why are you silent?"
Cai Junze said: "Your asking price is too high, we can't agree to it."
Mother Lu's eyes twinkled, and she said, "Actually, I can show you a way forward."
"A clear path?" A hint of surprise flashed across Cai Junze's eyes.
"That's right, a bright future," said Mother Lu. "You haven't married yet, have you? Why not reconcile with Qingyan and marry her? Then Yang'er will naturally be able to return to your Cai family. As long as you agree to reconcile, I'll find a way to persuade her to divorce Niu Jiashi. How about this bright future?"
Cai Junze frowned, then shook his head and said, "There's no way I can get back together with her."
Mother Lu's eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction as she said, "What's wrong with my Qingyan? You and her already have a child, so what can't be resolved? If you want to bring Yang'er home so badly, you have to reconcile with her. Otherwise, she won't let you take Yang'er away."
Cai Junze asked, "Aunt Lu, are these your thoughts or hers?"
Mother Lu said, "Of course that's what I meant. Considering Qingyan's personality, do you think she's someone who would compromise so easily? However, if you're willing to give in, I'm willing to help you negotiate and convince her to get back together with you."
This is what she really thinks.
In fact, she really hopes that they can get back together.
