Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai returned home, but the team leader and Zhang's mother were not at home.
Today is National Day. Those who are not working should be visiting friends and relatives.
Zhang Tiantian left a note on the table and prepared to go up the mountain. Today, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai planned to take Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran to the mountain to hunt. They would not be back at noon and would come back in the evening to make delicious food.
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai were still at the captain's house, each carrying a backpack, a knife, and two bottles of water.
Zhang Tiantian took White Rabbit milk candy, egg cake, canned food, apples, and soda.
Gu Ranran brought some barbecue ingredients because Lu Jiang and Lu Hai said they were going to have a barbecue in the mountains today.
As soon as Lu Jiang and Lu Hai arrived at the village with Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran, they were stopped by Lu Jiang and Lu Hai's sister-in-law and Lu's mother and father.
"Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, when you two return to the village, won't you come back to see your parents? You two unfilial sons, do you really want to be sons-in-law? If so, return the betrothal money your parents gave you."
Lu Jiang looked at his arrogant sister-in-law, who started to humiliate him and Lu Hai outside, and his father and mother did not stop him. Lu Jiang looked at his father and mother and asked them.
"Mom and Dad, do you two think the same? Do you want Lu Hai and I to return the betrothal money you prepared?"
Father Lu avoided Lu Jiang's sight and said nothing. Lu Jiang's sister-in-law pushed Mother Lu, and Mother Lu began to speak.
"Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, since the separation, you two have rarely returned home. You spend most of your time at the captain's house, and you always go there to bring things.
Since you want to be a live-in son-in-law, return the betrothal money your father and I prepared. Also, return the house. If you become a live-in son-in-law, you won’t be able to share the family house.”
Lu Hai simply couldn't believe that his mother could say such a thing, and couldn't help but ask his mother.
"Mom, do you know what day it is today?"
Mother Lu thought about it and answered indifferently.
"Today is National Day, what's wrong? Every year on this day we don't go to work, everyone knows that."
Lu Jiang looked at the lost Lu Hai and continued to ask Lu's father.
"Dad, you think so too. Do you want Lu Hai and I to return the betrothal money and the house?"
Father Lu didn't say anything, but nodded.
Seeing that all the members of the Lu family had arrived and the villagers had almost gathered, Lu Jiang smiled and continued to ask Lu's father and mother.
"Mom and Dad, since you've made Lu Hai and me your sons-in-law, does that mean we don't have to give you 5 yuan a year for retirement?"
When Lu Jiang's sister-in-law heard this, she objected loudly.
"Why don't you have to pay 5 yuan a year for retirement? Even if you two become live-in sons-in-law, you still have to pay that 5 yuan. And you also have to pay for the medical expenses for your parents' old age."
When the villagers heard this, they felt something was wrong and started arguing.
"Lu Shan's family, there may not be any son-in-law in our village who has to provide for his parents in their old age. Is this the custom in your mother's family? We should go and ask about it."
"Old Lu, are you forcing Lu Jiang and Lu Hai to become live-in sons-in-law? You also want to return the betrothal gifts and the house."
"Lu Jiang and Lu Hai aren't married yet. When they come home from work and have nowhere to eat, what's wrong with going to the captain's house for dinner? Besides, will you give them food when you get home?"
"Old Li, it's funny what you said. Before we split up, we didn't feed Lu Hai and Lu Jiang enough. Now that we've split up, why are we still feeding Lu Jiang and Lu Hai?"
"Yes, ever since Lu Jiang and Lu Hai got their sister-in-law, they haven't had enough to eat. When they're hungry, they run to the mountains. It's really pitiful. In the middle of winter, two little kids are also looking for food in the mountains."
"If you ask me, since you already have four sons and don't want any more children, then don't have any. Giving birth to a child is not good for the child and is simply torturing the child."
"Old Wang, you can't help yourself, can't you? If you're pregnant, just give birth to the baby."
Lu Jiang didn't want to waste time on someone who wasn't worth it, so he told his father and mother directly.
"Mom and Dad, Lu Hai and I are living people. We have hearts, and our hearts hurt. We are not something you can pick up if you want and throw away if you don't want.
Today, in front of the villagers, you have to make a choice: do you want the bride price and the house, or do you want me and Lu Hai?"
Before Mr. and Mrs. Lu could say anything, Lu Jiang's sister-in-law spoke first.
"We're choosing between the betrothal money and the house. Hurry up and bring the money over so we can move out of the house today."
After Lu Jiang's sister-in-law finished speaking, Lu's father and mother nodded.
Lu Jiang was so angry that he laughed. He glanced at Lu Hai, and Lu Hai nodded to Lu Jiang, and Lu Jiang agreed.
"Okay, since you have made your choice, Lu Hai and I promise to return your betrothal money and house to you.
But let's settle things today. After all, Lu Hai and I don't dare owe you anything. Let's settle our child support payments and pay it back all at once."
Lu Jiang's sister-in-law was very excited when she heard this and said directly.
"Yes, we need to calculate everything clearly. There's not only child support but also tuition. You two are going to high school."
Lu Jiang looked at Lu's father and mother who were still silent, so he spoke to the branch secretary.
"Uncle Secretary, could you please help Lu Hai and I figure out how much money we should give them?"
The branch secretary thought about it and answered.
"You and Lu Hai started collecting grass for pigs to earn work points when you were five years old. I need to go back and get the work point book so I can calculate it."
