Chapter 230: Do you really want one hundred and eighty-eight?



The fifth and seventh brothers started fighting again.

The two families had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. Old Mrs. Feng was not happy to eat melons in the past, but this time they had a serious fight.

The family separation started with great fanfare.

Old Man Lu didn't want to split up the family business. The two brothers were fighting to the death, and Tao Xing even wanted to take Lu Laoqi to live with her mother's family.

There is no other way. His youngest son cannot follow the example of the sixth son and marry into someone else's family.

Old Man Lu pulled the seventh child out and lowered his voice: "Youngest, you haven't worked since you came back from school. Dad knows you've been hit hard by this. Dad hasn't said anything to you for all this time. It's not impossible to split up the family."

Old Man Lu lowered his voice and said, "Back then, when that old man died, did he give you anything?"

Lu Ming looked up when he heard this and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? He died so suddenly. You might as well go find my third brother instead of telling him to die. He went to beat that old man every day for the past six months."

Old Man Lu was silent.

He knew this, and because he knew this, he would not easily go to find the third brother. That year, because he said the wrong thing, he went out to the toilet in the middle of the night, and the third brother was standing at the toilet door with an axe.

He was still dazed, but was suddenly awakened by the shock.

He was so angry that he wanted to scold him.

The third brother took the axe and put it on his neck. He was halfway through cursing when the rest of the words got stuck in his throat, so he put the knife on his neck, just to stop him from talking about the fourth brother.

Old Man Lu felt very aggrieved, but the boy was a reckless person, fearing that he would suffer the same fate as that dead old man. From that night on, Old Man Lu would easily have conflicts with his third son.

The shadow left on him was so severe that he would often wake up from his dreams. The six months he spent in labor reform were the most peaceful days he had ever lived.

He was the only one who knew about this, no one else knew, not even his partner.

Old Man Lu coughed and said, "I'm asking you. When you were with him, he treated you like his son. Are you sure he didn't give you anything?"

"Go find me." Lu Ming spread his hands and said, "If you can't find my father, you can support me in the future. My future is ruined anyway."

He looks like he's playing dirty.

This made Old Man Lu feel strange. Could it be that the dead guy really didn’t leave anything for Old Seven?

The thought of this possibility made me angry again.

"You followed him and called him dad for nothing? He's a rootless bastard, and his actions are really dishonest!"

Lu Ming snorted and chuckled, thinking that his father had enjoyed a lot of good wine and delicious food in the past. The eunuch was a servant and had his own motives. He called Old Man Lu "Brother" and served him comfortably.

Now he is complaining about others being unkind.

If Lu Xuan hadn't ruined his plan, he would have gotten even more...

Now it is not known whether it was snatched away by that group of people or dealt with by the dead eunuch, or whether it was simply taken by his third brother.

Old Man Lu was still unwilling to give up and wanted to find out: "Really?"

"Dad, just pray that it doesn't happen. If it does, our family will be entangled in complicated relationships... Then we can reclassify our class status and you'll be happy..."

"What are the ingredients?"

Before Lu Ming could finish his words, Lu Tao arrived. He had been busy all day and had to come to divide the family business. He heard Lu Ming's words as soon as he entered the door.

Old Man Lu panicked: "Nothing, nothing, just chatting casually."

"Don't talk about things you shouldn't talk about. Tell me, how do you want to divide the family?" There was nothing left to divide in the Lu family.

There were just some pots, pans, and even less food, but it wasn't a simple matter. Whenever the chopsticks were different, there would be a fight, and most of the time it was Tao and Xing who were arguing.

Don’t think that Lu Cheng beat Lu Ming so easily, but when he met Tao Xing, Lu Cheng didn’t dare to say a word, and they finally broke up.

The old couple still stayed with the fifth brother's family. After separating the seventh brother and the crazy Tao Xing, Lu Cheng was much happier and felt comfortable lying in bed.

Holding Long Yujiao, he said, "Our life is indeed not easy now, but we have our parents to help us. I will ask them in a few days if they have any money and get you some meat."

"Following me has caused you so much trouble."

Long Yujiao nodded, happy to be separated from Tao Xing.

Lu Cheng lay on her belly and listened: "I don't know if it will be a boy or a girl."

"Speaking of the third and fourth brothers, there are actually some who are not as good as us. The third brother only has a daughter, and the fourth brother got married earlier than us and doesn't have any children." Lu Cheng thought: "At least we had a son before them."

Long Yujiao also looked at her belly. According to what she wrote, it was twins, or boys. Later, Lu Cheng always wanted a daughter. In order to have both a son and a daughter, she arranged the happy life described in the book.

She didn't want twins at all now.

She even wanted Lu Cheng to get a sterilization after this baby was born. Since she couldn't have another child, she didn't even dare to think about how to raise the baby...

The two fell asleep while chatting.

The next day, the news that the Lu family had split up again spread throughout the village like wildfire. At the same time, some rumors were circulating in Laoya Village.

"I heard that when Long Zhiqing got married, she asked for a betrothal gift of 188, which wasn't for her parents. She secretly withheld the money."

"Her parents only asked for eighty-eight!"

"Is this true?"

"That's fake! If I'd deducted a hundred, would she have to live so hard?"

“I think it’s fake too…”

"Really? Someone read the letter she wrote!"

When the news first spread in the village, Lu Cheng didn't take it seriously. Now, after two days, his friends have come to ask him what's going on.

"You really asked for eighty-eight. Your wife asked for one hundred and eighty-eight for you?"

Lu Cheng frowned: "How is that possible? Where did you hear that? It's nonsense."

"My wife is a very good person. Please don't wrongly accuse her."

"If I hear you talking nonsense again, I'll hit you!"

The man had originally told Lu Cheng out of kindness to prevent him from being fooled, but after hearing this, he shook his head helplessly: "Everyone in the village is talking about it now. You'd better ask your wife what's going on."

Long Yujiao had rested for two days, so she naturally received information slower than others. When she heard the news, she had an ominous premonition.

Lu Cheng came back and said, "Wife, the rumors about your betrothal gift are all nonsense. I believe you. Please clarify it for everyone."

Long Yujiao was nervous, but she forced a smile. "That's all nonsense. Even if I were to clarify, they would only want to hear what they want to hear. We don't care. It won't be long before the rumors are refuted."

This is what Long Yujiao thought, but she really didn't expect that the situation would get worse and worse. Some rumors even came out that if she didn't clarify it, it meant she had tacitly agreed to it.

Even Lanlan couldn't sit still and asked her if she had money.

Long Yujiao perfunctorily brushed Lanlan off. This was definitely not happening for nothing. Someone was pushing it. The one who made the most trouble was Feng Erbao from the Youth League Institute. He was also the one who made the most trouble during her last exam.

Chen Wu's current residence was right next to the Youth House. Long Yujiao ran to Chen Wu's house angrily and banged on the door.
