When Ma Xiuzhu heard what her son said, she exploded and jumped up three feet high, "You want me to go with your father?"
"I'm not rushing you, I'm sending you back." Lu Shishen looked very calm, "My vacation is over, I don't have much time to stay at home with you, and Nian Nian is also busy."
"Isn't it just the trivial things of washing clothes and cooking? Which woman doesn't do it? What is she busy with?" Ma Xiuzhu was very dissatisfied with Yang Niannian at this time. She just said a few bad words to her daughter-in-law, and her son wanted to drive her away.
It hurts her heart so much as a mother.
Lu Guozhi's face was not looking good either. He felt very embarrassed to be driven away by his son. He said to his wife with a gloomy face.
"Don't say anything, let's leave tomorrow."
Ma Xiuzhu was not willing to leave like this, so she discussed the conditions with her son directly, "We can leave tomorrow. My family wants to buy two calves. You pay 200 yuan, which will be used as a payment for your father and me to raise them. We will sever our relationship, and I will treat you as dead."
Lu Guozhi remained silent, obviously agreeing with his wife's approach.
"I don't have any money now." Lu Shishen said expressionlessly.
Ma Xiuzhu didn't believe it. "Your wife has money to buy clothes, the family has money to buy electrical appliances, and the family has money to eat meat, but you don't have money to buy a calf for your parents?"
"Nian Nian spent a lot of money to buy those things." Lu Shishen said.
"Didn't you give Yang Niannian the money she spent?" Ma Xiuzhu felt that her son just didn't want to give the money and was making excuses.
Lu Shishen shook his head. "Nian Nian runs a small business in the city and earns a lot of money to supplement the family income. She earns more than my allowance."
Knowing that his son would not lie, Lu Guozhi curiously asked, "What kind of business does she do in the city?"
"Selling clothes." Lu Shishen replied.
"You are a couple, so the money she earns is also your money, right? Don't you have the right to control it?" When Ma Xiuzhu heard that her daughter-in-law could also earn money, she stopped threatening to break off relations.
The younger son is well off, so he can provide more financial support to the family, and the old couple will have someone to rely on when they get old.
I just didn't expect that Yang Niannian, who looks like a vase, is actually somewhat useful.
Lu Shishen, "She makes money to support her and my family, not to support the Lu family."
Ma Xiuzhu felt like she was about to die of anger again. She complained to her husband in a rage, "Listen to me, listen to me, this is the son we raised with so much effort. If I had known he would grow up like this, I should have let him starve to death. Why did I bother buying him condensed milk to drink?"
Lu Guozhi was also very angry, and said with a stern face, "Retirement is not your eldest brother's responsibility alone. Your eldest brother has been taking care of us at home with all his heart, and you have never been by his bedside to show filial piety and help us. So why can't you give us some money?"
He spoke with confidence and did not mention a word about the fact that Lu Shishen had sent all his allowance back home over the years.
Lu Shishen pondered for a while and said, "If you think I am unfilial and not taking care of you, I can change my job and go back home to farm while taking care of you."
When Lu Guozhi and Ma Xiuzhu heard that their youngest son was going to retire and return home, they immediately became depressed.
In recent years, the family built a new tiled house, and their lives are getting better and better. Even the village chief shows some respect to them when he sees them, all because of the youngest son.
If I were to change jobs and go back, what future would I have, other than fighting with my brother over those few acres of worthless land at home?
Besides, the old couple are in good health and don’t need any care at all.
The two old men remained silent, both with long faces.
"You must be tired from the car ride, so go to bed early." Lu Shishen turned around, opened the door and left the room.
An An had just fallen asleep when she saw Lu Shishen push the door open. Yang Niannian blinked and asked, "Are your parents reporting me?"
Lu Shishen closed the door and walked to the bedside and sat down, "They want two hundred dollars to buy the calf."
"Have you promised to give it to me?" Yang Niannian asked.
"No." Lu Shishen shook his head.
After a pause, he added, "I sent all my allowance back home, about 3,000 or 4,000 yuan. After renovating our house, there is still some left, enough for their daily life. I have a family now, and it would be unfair to you if I still gave all my allowance to my family."
His parents are not yet of retirement age, and in two years, he will send them living expenses every month.
The more Yang Niannian listened, the brighter her eyes became. She felt like she had unearthed a great treasure. Lu Shishen had grown smarter after getting married.
The ideological awareness is too high.
A man like this is hard to find even with a lantern, no wonder Zhou Xueli is thinking about him.
The Lu family really has good things coming out of bad things.
She said hot-headedly, "Lu Shishen, because of your understanding, I will give birth to ten sons for you in the future."
Lu Shishen was stunned by her fierce words.
After coming to his senses, he walked to the wall and turned off the light before sitting back down on the bed and saying, "My daughter is doing fine, too."
Having a daughter like Yang Niannian would be very cute too.
Yang Niannian was so excited that she couldn't sleep.
The visit of her parents-in-law this time was quite good, allowing her to understand Lu Shishen more clearly.
Although this man cannot say sweet words, he is down-to-earth and reliable, and is not a mama's boy who outsources his filial piety.
what to do?
She seemed to like this man more and more.
Fortunately, An An was lying next to her, otherwise she might have pounced on him.
Such a good man is right next to me, I can't let him run away.
…
Before dawn, Lu Shishen went to the army.
Lu Guozhi and Ma Xiuzhu also got up quite early, waking up at just six o'clock.
Since her parents-in-law didn’t leave, Yang Niannian could only rest at home for a day and didn’t go to set up the stall.
She cooked breakfast, but Lu Shishen was probably too busy and didn't come back to eat.
Because her son was not around, Ma Xiuzhu kept sulking while eating, but Lu Guozhi was relatively nice and took the initiative to talk to Yang Niannian.
"I heard from Shi Shen that you were selling clothes in the city. How's your business going?"
"It's OK. The money I make a month is a few dollars higher than the Shishen allowance."
Yang Niannian deliberately said that she earned less money to avoid making her parents-in-law jealous, and at the same time reminded them that she was no worse than Lu Shishen.
Ma Xiuzhu curled her lips and said sarcastically, "The money earned from speculation is not even on the same level as the money earned by Shi Shen."
"It's OK as long as there is no difference in the spending." Yang Niannian said.
Ma Xiuzhu choked. This little girl had only been to school for a few days, but her words were quite sharp.
She acted like a mother-in-law, sat upright and said, "My family wants to buy a calf, but we don't have enough money. I discussed it with your father and want to borrow some money from you two."
Just talking about borrowing, not mentioning returning.
What a good plan.
Fortunately, Yang Niannian was well prepared and said with an embarrassed look, "I just arrived here not long ago, and all the money I earned was used to support my family."
Before Ma Xiuzhu could say anything, she offered another suggestion, "Shi Shen sent a lot of living expenses to my sister before, plus the betrothal money you gave my family, it is enough to buy a calf. When you and dad go back this time, go find my mom and ask for all the money back. I will marry into the Lu family and will be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in the future. I am on your side and support you in getting the betrothal money back."
