Yu Yin finished handing over the matters at the store; her round trip would take more than twenty days!
We gave Liang a key to the front door so he could help feed the chickens. The fruit trees in the yard had a lot of fruit, and there were also vegetables. We asked him to pick them so we could all share them.
Huang Shan and her brother bought a house together and moved last month. Otherwise, it would have been best to ask her for help since it's close by.
Huang Shan, who bought a house, lived a much more carefree life, which worried her auntie to no end, as such a grown woman was still unmarried.
Huang Shan felt that she had a house and a job, so why should she compromise with others and live her life according to their whims? Why was she so narrow-minded? She insisted on her criteria for choosing a partner, which only increased and never decreased.
Lu Shurui took the children to visit their grandparents and told them that they were going out.
"Going to Beijing? Going everywhere?"
“Go together. It’s a friend’s wedding from Yunnan Province. Shuqi was invited too. Zhuangzhuang and Duoduo from my second sister’s family are also going. It’s good for the kids to go out and see the world. It’ll prevent them from being petty and only thinking about what’s in front of them when they grow up.”
If given the opportunity, Lu Shurui would also like to take the children to see the desert, the grasslands, and the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, so that they can travel more.
Grandpa and Grandma are getting old and don't have the chance to go out anymore. Lu Shurui said he would take lots of pictures to show them. The two elderly people are in their eighties, and although they are still relatively healthy, their age makes it impossible to take them out.
They had said everything they needed to say, and bought their tickets; so they set off.
When the rest of the Lu family found out that Yu Yin and her family had gone out to play, taking Lu Erjie's child and Yu Yin's younger brother with them, they made a lot of sarcastic and sarcastic remarks.
The first to be affected were Wang Mengyao's family, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. How could they be so lucky, living in a big house and being able to travel to Beijing?
“Look at you, you’re brothers and sisters, but he took your second sister’s child to play and left your son behind. Your second brother and sister-in-law don’t treat you like a brother.”
Wang Mengyao pointed at Lu Shukang and launched into a tirade, her sharp and sarcastic tone making her almost unrecognizable; it was as if this woman belonged to someone else.
Wang Mengyao has always followed the innocent and naive image, but perhaps she has given up on it because she is getting older.
"Don't you know what you've done? You still think you can treat me like a brother? You've ruined our brotherhood long ago!"
Lu Shukang was also very frustrated. He and his second brother were only two years apart in age, and they had been compared to each other since they were little.
My second brother was a good student, and all the neighbors praised him. He himself had been spoiled by his mother since childhood and didn't think his second brother was any better than him. His second brother went to the countryside, and he took over his mother's job in the city. His second brother married a woman from another place and might never be able to return to the city, but he was still smug about it.
The college entrance examination has resumed, and my second brother's family has returned.
He was worried that living together would be too cramped, and he was quite unhappy about it. Unexpectedly, the other person never came back at all, and even bought a two-story house with a yard. When he first went there, he felt quite uncomfortable. Why should Lu Shurui be able to live in such a big house?
After the repeated arguments, he was actually quite happy, thinking that less contact would make him feel better. However, news of them opening a shop and making money kept coming in, which was really annoying.
Lu Shukang was lost in thought and didn't notice Wang Mengyao glaring at him angrily.
"I've caused no trouble at all, you're really good at shirking responsibility. Why don't you say that your mother has always favored you, sending your second brother to live with your grandparents while spoiling you? Why don't you say that your mother sent your second brother to the countryside but gave you the job, her heart is completely biased..."
Wang Mengyao's words were overheard by Lu's father and mother. Lu's mother was trembling with anger. She had done everything for Shu Kang's family, and this was the result. Her daughter-in-law was not only ungrateful but also gloating.
"So what if my mom favors me? Didn't you benefit from that? You took care of the baby for a few days after it was born. How much money has my mom given us over the years? Otherwise, how would you buy nice clothes?"
"That's what she wants. Is she doing it for me? Isn't it because she feels sorry for you, her son, that you don't have money to spend, that you have to cook and do laundry? Do you think I don't know that your mother says behind my back that I'm a freeloader?"
The two men reopened old wounds, and outside the door, Lu's mother listened with utter horror. This was the son and grandson she had always loved and cherished. Suddenly, everything went black, and she knew nothing more.
"Lu Shukang, stop making noise, your mother has fainted."
Although Mr. Lu was angry that she was biased, he was also shocked to see her collapse so suddenly after so many years of hardship and suffering together.
Hearing the noise outside, the two people inside rushed out. Lu Shukang ran to find the car, while Wang Mengyao stood there, unsure of what to do.
Lu Shukang pushed over a flatbed cart, and together with his father, they lifted the unconscious Lu's mother onto the cart and pushed her to the hospital.
Fortunately, it wasn't far. When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor took over and began emergency treatment.
"Dad, will Mom be alright?"
"I don't know, let's wait for the doctor to come out."
Mr. Lu was not young, and the shock and fright left him completely exhausted.
"Call your older brother, older sister, and second sister."
Father Lu knew that Lu Shukang was useless and he himself was not comfortable with it. In case something happened to the child's mother, there needed to be someone to take charge.
Lu Shukang tearfully called his eldest brother and two older sisters. His eldest brother, who was not scheduled for surgery, said he would come right away, and his second and eldest sisters also said they would arrive soon.
Back at the entrance of the emergency room, the doctor hadn't come out yet, and his father sat on the ground looking unwell.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just a little rushed."
Lu Shukang was a little at a loss. For so many years, his mother had taken care of everything for him, and he never had to worry about anything.
