Lu Xuan looked at Boss Lu. He just glanced at him lightly. Boss Lu seemed to have thought of something. He opened his mouth, but it seemed as if something was strangling his throat.
Finally, he looked at his wife and said, "Okay, don't talk."
Li Ping didn't know what was going on and was a little angry: "Why don't I say anything? What if they don't go to work? They'll just starve."
Although the Lu family has seven brothers, the seventh brother is studying in the commune and only goes home once a week. The youngest is Lu Xiaoliu, who listened to the quarrel.
"Sister-in-law, why are you so angry about the third and fourth sisters-in-law not going to the fields?"
Li Ping subconsciously glanced at Long Yujiao.
Lu Xiaoliu didn't notice and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't you get any work points either?"
"How can it be the same? I'm pregnant." Li Ping said as she puffed out her belly.
"But when you weren't pregnant, you also had a headache today and a stomachache tomorrow, and you didn't go to work..."
Seeing this, Boss Lu felt that something was wrong. Why was the blame now shifted to him? How much did Lu Xuan's matter have to do with him? He already regretted speaking out.
He pulled Li Ping, who was about to retort, and said, "Okay, shut up!"
Li Ping was still a little unconvinced. She felt that she had a reason to rest. Also, Long Zhiqing had said when he came back in the afternoon that if they didn't work, then wouldn't they also have a share of the public food?
In Li Ping's view, this was taking advantage of them.
However, Boss Lu maintained a firm attitude: "This is a matter between Third and Fourth Brothers. You guys should decide. We can do whatever we want."
Lu Xuan said, "My wife is preparing for the exam and cooking at home. I'm going to work. I'll bring home the game I hunt and we'll eat together."
"If you still have any objections, then we can split up the family. I will support my wife as she pleases."
When Lu Xuan also talked about dividing the family, his voice was not loud, but it made people believe that everything he said was true.
Old Man Lu looked up at his third son and frowned.
Lu Ye heard someone say behind him: "I'm the same as Third Brother."
Li Ping's eyes widened immediately. "How can we split up the family? Anyone in this village who splits up the family will be criticized!"
"Dad, we can't split up the family."
Chen Wu felt that there were still things about this family that she didn't know. The book was written around Long Yujiao, and did not give a very detailed description of the family relationships of the Lu family. However, according to her observation, it seemed that when it came to this point, everyone was not so resistant to the fact that she only cooked and prepared for the teacher's exam at home.
However, it seems that few people believe that she can pass the exam.
Obviously, she and Xu Yin were the parties involved, but at this moment, it seemed that they had nothing to do. Shen Wu glanced at Xu Yin, who was yawning out of boredom.
Long Yujiao frowned slightly, as if she didn't expect things to get to this point, and suddenly poked Lu Laowu next to her.
Lu Cheng, the old fifth Lu who had been silent the whole time, frowned and said, "We can't split up the family. If we do, the whole family will fall apart."
Old Mrs. Lu shook her head and repeatedly said that she didn't want the family to be divided.
Lu Laoliu had a different opinion: "I actually want to split the family! Otherwise, I have to share the work points I earn with the public to support my eldest brother's two children and pregnant wife, as well as my fifth brother's unmarried wife."
"Let's not talk about my second brother. He works in the county town and pays 18 yuan a month into the government. My second sister-in-law works in the fields, and Pan'er can't eat much."
"My third sister-in-law just got married, so she can't work. But my third brother earns ten work points every day. No one in our village can match him when it comes to hunting. We can't eat meat without my third brother."
"Fourth sister-in-law..."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Lu hit Old Six Lu on the head and said, "How can you have the right to speak? Divide the family? Have you started a family yet? You're making trouble for dividing the family. I think you're rebelling."
Lu Laoliu's arrogance instantly subsided a lot, and he muttered: "If I don't have a family, then I will live with my parents."
Chen Wu finally understood. No wonder it was Li Ping and Long Yujiao who were looking for trouble with her. Now it was also these two families who did not agree to separate the family.
I also understood what Lu Xuan said, that if they were too picky, they might not necessarily gain the upper hand.
With this in mind, Chen Wu felt even more at ease in her misbehavior.
In the end, it was Old Man Lu who made the final decision. "Third Brother, let's do as you said. Your wife will stay home to take the teacher exam, and you will go to work. You can bring home the hunting stuff you usually take."
His eyes fell on Lu Ye: "I know you have money. I can give you 20 kilograms of food a month."
Lu Ye frowned slightly.
After all, others still took advantage of her and Lu Xuan! Among them, there is also the heroine who got all the benefits everywhere, but in the end she not only suffered losses but also got the reputation of "big weirdo".
Chen Wu was not willing to let others take advantage of her, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well.
He then looked at Old Man Lu and said, "Dad, you are a fair man. It is because you are in charge of our family that we can live such a good life."
When Old Man Lu heard Shen Wu praising him, he smiled and said, "Of course, no one can compare to our family."
Chen Wu continued to smile and said, "I don't work in the fields, so I have no complaints if my husband brings home more meat. However, that educated youth Long has an easier job than us, so it's only natural that he should pay for the public food while eating from the public."
"If she doesn't pay, and everyone else does, then all the food she eats belongs to someone else. How can I be willing to do that? Don't you agree?"
Lu Laoliu was the first to respond: "Third sister-in-law is right!"
"Anyway, I don't want to! Dad, why don't you find me a wife..."
Xu Yin yawned, listening to these trivial matters. She had never experienced such things in her previous life. She glanced at Chen Wu with a sour face: "Other people live in the educated youth camp, don't get married, don't pay food, eat and drink, and don't do anything for our family. They are worse than me. I can't stand it."
"My man pays me extra food every month. If she doesn't want to pay, her man has to pay. Otherwise, Lu Ye, we won't pay either."
As he said this, he glared at Chen Wu and said, "If you want to pay, then you will be a coward in my eyes for the rest of your life, and you will not have the right to dislike me in the future."
Shen Wu...
Sister, you are too immersed in the role.
…
Li Ping originally wanted to fight for her own interests. It didn't matter whether it belonged to Chen Wu or Long Yujiao, whoever it was, it was better to have it than not. Her eyes turned quickly, "If you ask me, it makes sense. What do you think, Wang Hua?"
Wang Hua's husband is not here, so she has not said anything.
When her name was called, she thought for a moment and said, "She went to the countryside as an educated youth from Long. At that time, the educated youth center in the village hadn't built a house yet, so she lived in our house. She also started dating my fifth brother. Except for the first two months of her time there, she hasn't delivered any grain to the family since then. She hasn't done anything about the chores around the house either. I don't think it's good for this to continue."
Wang Huaren looks simple, works hard, and doesn't like to talk. She is the most normal person in the family. But when she speaks, she can make sense and have reasons.
The fire was initially directed at Chen Wu and Xu Yin. Long Yujiao inexplicably felt some hostility towards these two people, and was happy to add some firewood to serve as a fire starter. However, how did the fire go around and around and burn her?
Even now, the whole family doesn't occupy her, how could this happen?
The fifth brother, Lu Cheng, saw that everyone was targeting Long Yujiao, frowned, and stood up angrily.
