Mother Lu hadn't expected the situation to get to this point. Her face was pale. "The old man has one foot in the coffin, and I still have to rely on a meager pension to survive. How can I be so miserable?"
Lu Zhicheng frowned, feeling even more irritated: "Mom, why are you shouting? What if Jing'er comes back and hears it?"
Mother Lu wiped away her tears and said, "Zhicheng, I thought I could only rely on you in this life, but I didn't expect that in the end I would have to rely on my unborn grandson."
Zhicheng was such a good kid, with a bright future, a wife and children.
Mother Lu thought of the source of all this and said angrily, "It's all because of that bitch Pei Anan. It was a mistake to let her marry into the Lu family!"
Lu Zhicheng couldn't stand hearing this: "Mom, why are you blaming An An? It was me who cheated, not her."
Mother Lu didn't expect her son to still protect that woman: "Zhicheng, she cheated us out of all our family's wealth, and now she's living a comfortable life. She's always flaunting her looks online. It's really embarrassing. Why are you still protecting her?"
Lu Zhicheng's face darkened: "Mom, stop talking, let's think about what to do about the wedding. Do you want your golden grandson or not?"
Mother Lu affirmed: "Of course we have to have it. This is our only child, how can we not have it? Jing'er is a little young and likes to play, but the baby in her belly is real, we can't give it up."
"Mom will find a way to raise money for the wedding. Zhicheng, don't worry. Mom will definitely find you a wife."
She thought of many people from whom she could borrow money.
Lu Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Mom, then I'll leave it to you. I'll go and explain to Jing'er."
Mother Lu: "Zhicheng, go to bed early at night and stop looking at your phone all day. It's not a good idea to be without a job. How about I help you find one?"
When Lu Zhicheng thought about work, he recalled his previous experience of working like a slave in the company after he lost power. He frowned and said, "Everyone knows me when I go out to look for a job now. I'd better wait until the storm has passed."
Seeing that Lu's mother looked worried, Lu Zhicheng assured her, "Mom, don't worry. For now, we can use Dad's pension to make ends meet. When the storm has passed, with your son's ability, it's only a matter of time before he makes money."
Mother Lu was very confident in her son and immediately relaxed. "Zhicheng, I absolutely believe in you. Go and have a rest. You must be tired from all the investment stuff. I'll make you some broth later and then find a way to raise money."
Lu Zhicheng nodded and went back to his room to play with his phone while waiting for the hot soup.
When Lu Ma thought about her son's lonely and unmarried situation, she immediately became excited and started making phone calls everywhere.
It took a long time to collect 70,000 yuan, and together with the previous 10,000 yuan, it was only more than 80,000 yuan.
After discussing with her son, Lu Ma realized that they could afford to rent a wedding dress, but there was only enough money for two tables of banquet, so they started to figure out how to make a profit from the betrothal money.
Not long after, after they had excitedly arranged everything, Li Jing'er sent a text message.
Lu Zhicheng's face turned pale: "Mom, Jing'er said they want 88,000 yuan for the betrothal gift."
Lu Ma's face suddenly changed. "She's paying for it herself, why does she want a betrothal gift? A wedding is hard enough, and she still wants a betrothal gift?"
Although Lu Zhicheng felt that this sounded unpleasant, he kept a stiff face and said nothing.
Mother Lu slapped her thigh and said, "This woman is too ignorant of the rules. She's still like this even though she has a child. If Zhicheng doesn't want her, who else would dare to want her? No, I have to talk to her when she comes back."
Lu Zhicheng also said with a dark face: “Jing’er is too ignorant.”
So Li Jing'er came back happily from shopping, carrying a hand full of things, only to be faced with two ugly faces.
She looked confused: "What's wrong, Zhicheng, Mom."
Mother Lu's face was grim, and she was the first to attack: "Jing'er, I'm not saying anything to you, but you already have a child and are pregnant, why are you still running around and buying so many things?"
Li Jing'er felt confused. She hadn't even gotten married yet, but Lu Ma had already started to feel sorry for her money.
"Mom, I bought all this with my own money. Isn't it a bit too much for you to interfere so much? Zhicheng, you should also tell me something."
Mother Lu snorted coldly: "Why, do you still want Zhicheng to help you instead of speaking for me?"
Li Jing'er looked at Lu Zhicheng, only to see him say with a sullen expression, "Jing'er, you've been too much of a fool this time. You don't even think about me."
Li Jing'er was even more confused: "What's wrong?"
Mother Lu sneered, "What are you talking about? You've already given yourself to my son and are pregnant with his child. How dare you ask for such a high price now? My son has already asked to marry you, so why are you asking for more?"
Li Jing'er was stunned: "Zhicheng, don't you even want to pay this little bit of betrothal money? My family will laugh at me if I do."
She felt even more upset when she thought that her parents, who already favored Xiaobao, would be even more angry.
Lu Zhicheng didn't want to push Li Jing'er too hard, so he went forward and hugged her: "Jing'er, it's not that I don't want to pay, it's just that I really don't have the money right now. Can't you be flexible?"
