Chapter 433: Choose to Lie Down
After Lu Zhiyuan returned, he immediately asked the manager of the courtyard to send his aunt out.
This aunt was like a duck with its neck pinched, her face switching between blue and white, and she dared not say anything.
Tian's face looked very bad, as she felt that her husband's action was an insult to his wife.
After sending the people away, Lu Zhiyuan cleared the area and asked the servants to leave.
"Did you hear that?" Apart from this, Tian couldn't think of anything else that could make her husband change his face.
Lu Zhiyuan sat directly next to his wife and said, "Not only did I hear it, but Dad heard it too."
Tian's face turned pale. Her father-in-law hated it most when they competed with her younger sister.
Lu Zhiyuan asked his wife directly, "Didn't you feel upset after hearing what she said?"
How could it not be congested? Tian said nothing, but she just felt uncomfortable.
Lu Zhiyuan now knew very well where the crux of the problem lay, and he decided to give her a strong dose of medicine.
"It's miserable to be my little sister's rival."
Tian looked at her husband in confusion. She didn't want to be her younger sister's rival.
Lu Zhiyuan understood her expression, but he would not let her deceive herself. "The things you care about and what you want are just picking the fruits of my little sister."
Ignoring her reaction, Lu Zhiyuan continued, "The former Pingzhou Governor Shi Tao knew about this, right?"
Tian didn't understand why he asked this. Such a big thing happened to the Shi family, and it was closely related to the Lu family. How could she not know about it?
"His youngest daughter had a crush on Qin Sheng's brother-in-law before, and she was talking nonsense in front of our little sister. What happened in the end?"
What? The Shi family's misfortune actually stemmed from this? Tian was shocked.
"I tell you, Shi Xue must be regretting to death for provoking our little sister." As the eldest son, Lu Zhiyuan's father revealed some of the situation to him afterwards so that he would have a clear idea.
Tian put herself in Shi Xue's shoes and agreed with her husband's words. Her father's high-ranking position and the immense wealth of the Governor's Mansion were gone just because of her one action? The thought of it was suffocating.
"Do you think you can beat my little sister? You don't have to look at me, I definitely can't beat her. Even if I can't win, in the end, isn't it all about blood relationship and status?"
Tian was silent. She might not even be able to last a round with her younger sister.
"Among the four siblings in my family, I have no other advantages except that I was born early, have the eldest child, and am a boy." Lu Zhiyuan laughed at himself.
Not to mention the younger sister Lu Songli, who has been giving advice to her father over the past year; the younger brother Lu Mingzhi is also doing well in the Seventh Institute of Technology; even the eldest sister is doing as well as him in the garment workshop.
During the past six months, Lu Zhiyuan has actually been thinking about it, and he has gradually come to accept his mediocrity.
"Oh..." Tian sighed deeply. Her husband didn't even care about his dignity as a man. He broke everything down and told her about it. He was really anxious and afraid that he would make a mistake.
Lu Zhiyuan knew full well that his wife, as the eldest daughter of the Tian family, was somewhat arrogant and competitive. "Yulan, you really have to listen to me on this matter. We can't just rely on our blood relationship to do whatever we want. Otherwise, sooner or later, this blood relationship will be torn apart. And have you ever considered that if you persist in your wrongdoing, the consequences will most likely be borne by our son?"
"I see."
Lu Zhiyuan emphasized, "Don't just say it, you have to keep it in mind. We, as a couple, should not be provoked by others."
Seeing that his wife still couldn't figure it out, Lu Zhiyuan was really anxious. "Do you think life is bad now?"
When his father was first sent out, he was just a county magistrate in Houcheng. Soon after arriving in Liaodong County, he became a county governor, and now he is the governor of Pingzhou.
His father was right. Their small family benefited from their younger sister and his father. He was really right.
He had no guilt at all about taking advantage of his father, but he couldn't justify taking advantage of his younger sister.
Tian couldn't say that life was bad now.
"I tell you, people like your aunt are just jealous of you."
Tian: Jealous of her? Is that so?
"Yulan, life is so good now, let's just live like this and don't cause any trouble. As the saying goes, if the sky falls, there's someone taller to hold it up. With Dad's health, he can definitely live for at least another ten years. With Mom and Dad supporting us, we can at least live happily until we're thirty-two or thirty-three."
"Then what?" Tian was a little confused.
"Our father said that Xiao'er will be more successful than me in the future. Ten years later, when Xiao'er grows up, he will be able to take over our father's baton and continue to create a better future for us."
"Let's just live a carefree life and strive to live to sixty or even longer, isn't that good? If our grandson is more successful..."
Lu Zhiyuan was still imagining a bright future and didn't notice that his wife's expression was not right.
"Do you want to be a burden to your son?" Tian's voice became heavy. She had no objection to her father-in-law relying on her, but she could not tolerate her husband being a burden to their son!
"How about we work harder to expand the Lu family and give Xiao'er some help?"
Tian was speechless, "What if?"
"What if? Our father is gone, and Xiao'er is still a child. My little sister is so capable, she shouldn't ignore us. As long as we behave ourselves."
…
These words were passed back by the servants arranged by Lu Desheng in Dexinyuan.
When the servant came to reply, Lu Songli was also there.
Lu Desheng's face was dark and sour.
Lu Songli almost spit out the tea in her mouth.
"Your eldest brother is really good at planning. The abacus beads are flying in our faces."
Lu Songli smiled. To use her elder brother's words to sum it up, it was a perfect and happy life.
"I never expected your brother to be so open-minded."
People like Lu Zhiyuan are called "lying flat", and now he is even dragging his sister-in-law to lie flat with him. From another perspective, they can be called winners in life.
Lu Desheng snorted coldly, "Your elder brother is lucky." His tone was sour.
He has his father to take care of him above, his sons and grandsons to take care of him below, and if something happens in between, there is also his sister to take care of him. Why doesn't he go to heaven?
As a father, he hasn't had such a good life yet, but his son has!
"Dad, please allow me to work hard for another two years. In two years, I promise that you and mom will live a comfortable life and you won't have to work so hard." Lu Songli quickly stroked her hair.
Hearing this, Lu Desheng's lips curled up, his beard twitching. In two years, he'd only be forty-three. Well, he'd still be able to walk. Then, he and his wife would go out and explore, enjoying some time together.
