"No, the Ma family just needs to live in peace with the Lu family. Grandpa, the order given to me is to balance the forces of all parties and protect the old men." Lu Shiyi had thought about helping to take care of the elderly. "I will complete the task."
"Don't worry, I will take care of it. If the younger generation of the Ma family commits a crime, don't let them off lightly just for your grandfather Ma's sake." Lu Bairen instructed Lu Shiyi, "Don't overthink it, Xiaojin. Old man Ma wants to match Ayi and Ma Jie, but I'm not satisfied with Ma Jie's plan."
"Grandpa, I can see that Ayi and her are not compatible." Su Jin quickly comforted the old man.
Lu Bairen listened to Su Jin and assured Lu Shiyi that nothing would happen. When Lu Shiyi was in the hospital, although his academic performance was better than other children's, he was always cautious when it came to girls.
"Back then, many people in the hospital wanted to introduce him to girls, but he dismissed them all with various excuses." Du Ruo said bluntly, "I was prepared for him to be single for the rest of his life. But after he met Xiao Jin, he seemed like a completely different person."
Su Jin covered her mouth and laughed: "Grandma, Ayi is really good."
"Come on, it's better for you two to live well. You should be more careful when handling the Ma family's affairs." Lu Bairen waved his hand, telling the couple to be careful. "I heard that the son of the third branch of the Xin family has a crush on Ma Jie. The Ma family doesn't want to marry into the Xin family, so Ma Jie is directly causing trouble for you."
Lu Shiyi frowned. One of his missions when he returned to the imperial capital was to keep an eye on the Xin family and see which family would contact them privately.
Mr. Ma’s decision made everyone feel at ease.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Ma has a good relationship with you. It's good that he can control the younger generation. If he can't... the Ma family will be over. Ma Jie thinks that I am not determined to get it. There must be someone talking behind her back. She is very dissatisfied." Lu Shiyi told Lu Bairen.
The Wang family should be the first choice. The other party is a gossip. In addition, the relationship between the Wang family and the Ma family is delicate. Before, the status of the two families was equal. Now, the status of the Ma family has been rising year by year and is much higher than that of the Wang family.
"Ayi, the old man in the Wang family is quite bad. He took other people's military merits and sat in this position. Everyone around us knows it." Lu Bairen reminded his grandson that the Wang family's surrender was not trustworthy.
Lu Shiyi looked at his grandfather in surprise. In the military district of the imperial capital, the eldest grandson of the Wang family also did the same thing. Due to everyone's report, the other party failed to succeed.
"Grandpa, is Wang Rao a member of the Wang family?" Su Jin remembered that there was a boy named Wang Rao in his junior high school. He cheated in the final exam and was caught by the invigilator. He even made a lot of nonsense.
"Yes!" Lu Bairen nodded. "He's Old Man Wang's most valued grandson. Xiaojin, how do you know him?"
Su Jin immediately told Wang Rao about cheating at school. She had resigned at the end of the semester and didn't know what had become of the invigilator.
"The invigilator was forcibly demoted by the Wang family during the holiday on a charge they fabricated. They were simply upholding justice," Lu Shiyi told Su Jin. "You weren't suited to know these things at the time. Even Sister Yunfeng resigned because of this. While things were in turmoil on the surface, the Wang family was secretly pressuring Sister Yunfeng."
Bang!
Lu Bairen slammed the teacup on the table: "We should have suppressed him from the beginning. Even if we couldn't find evidence, we should have made things difficult for him."
"Grandpa, please keep this to yourself at home. Don't spread it around outside." Lu Shiyi quickly stopped him. "If what Old Song said is true, the Ma family will be eager to find another big shot to mess with."
Lu Bairen nodded slowly. "I know what's going on. You should be careful. The location of the Divine Sword is too conspicuous. After you left the imperial capital, the higher-ups stopped letting anyone into the Divine Sword, causing those families to try to find connections."
The grandfather and grandson talked about what was happening outside and could not hide anything from their wives.
"This is the tradition of the Lu family. As Ayi's wife, you have to face a lot of things when Ayi is not at home." Du Ruo stared at Su Jin's expression and immediately told her the reason.
"Grandma, I understand." Su Jin listened to Du Ruo talking about the situation in the courtyard and found out that there were still factions.
Many of Grandpa Lu’s old comrades were framed because they were too upright. Most of them were arranged by their younger generations to work on the farms of Songjiang Commune.
After Grandpa Lu made some arrangements, he arranged for Lu Shiyi to move from the imperial capital to Songjiang Commune to continue his service, in order to protect the safety of these old men.
Lu Shiyi and Su Jin had the rare opportunity to leisurely chat with the two elders. Hanhan was held in the old man's arms and fell asleep quietly.
"Grandma, let me make lunch for everyone today." Su Jin looked at the wall clock. It was already 5 o'clock. According to the schedule of the two elders, it was time to prepare dinner.
"Okay, I'll let Sister Yang rest today, and we'll have the dinner made by Xiao Jin." Du Ruo nodded in agreement.
Since Su Jin came back, she has been busy with household chores and has been unable to cook for the elderly.
If she were to be tricked by someone with ulterior motives, her reputation would be ruined.
"Mrs. Yang!" Du Ruo led Su Jin to the kitchen and told her where the kitchen utensils were. "Xiao Jin is going to make dinner today, so you can help."
"Grandma, I can do it myself." Su Jin followed Du Ruo into the kitchen. Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang were cleaning the kitchen. "Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang, you can stay in the living room and talk with me."
"Aunt Lu..." Aunt Yang felt embarrassed. Taking care of the leader and Du Ruo was her job.
"Come with me to the living room. It's rare for Xiaojin to come home." Du Ruo told Aunt Yang, "If people outside ask, it's hard to believe that Xiaojin didn't have a good meal. Xiaojin, your parents-in-law will come back for dinner after get off work."
"Aunt Yang, don't worry, I'm a very good cook." Su Jin chuckled, "I see there's fish, and the bacon I brought. Ayi also bought three pounds of pork belly. Let's make a big meal today."
