Chapter 405: Contributing to the Country (Page 2/2)

Gu Yunlan then talked about what happened yesterday, New Year's Eve, when Lu Changzheng took the children back to the Lu family.

Now that he's back in Beijing, the Lu family is here. It would be unreasonable for Lu Changzheng not to go home during the New Year. Even if he is given generous pension money, people will still complain behind his back that he doesn't even go home during the New Year.

Don't waste your life letting others say such things.

Lu Changzheng was pursuing a career in government, and it would be bad for him if he developed a reputation for being disobedient and unfilial.

For the sake of Lu Changzheng's reputation, Gu Yunlan of course asked him to go back.

It was like this last year and it is also like this year.

This year, not only did he have to bring two big ones back, but he also had to carry a lot of stuff!

Gu Yunlan is not so petty that she would not even want to give away a few things. On the contrary, these things can play a very significant role!

Because she had prepared several portions of brown sugar, she asked Lu Changzheng to go sit with the neighbors on both sides.

She heard him say that when he was a child, he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and a neighbor's aunt gave him half a steamed bun to eat.

He was also given half a sweet potato to eat.

Tell him to go back, go to someone's house and sit down, and bring a brick of brown sugar with him.

Lu Changzheng has grown up now and completely listens to his virtuous wife and does what she says.

When he was carrying the things back, he saw some from his neighbor's house. He stood there and chatted with everyone, letting everyone see how much he had brought back.

Both good wine and good cigarettes.

After that, I took some brown sugar bricks and went to visit my neighbors.

It was the old lady who had quarreled with Lu's mother when Lu Changzheng came back last time who sent one to her.

It was she who gave him half a steamed bun to eat when he was a child.

Other neighbors also brought their two children to visit.

Of course, the neighbors will also ask, why doesn’t your wife come back?

Lu Changzheng just smiled and said that his youngest son was still young and the weather was too cold, so he asked her to stay at home to take care of the child.

Everyone also expressed their understanding!

However, no one knew what kind of dispute had taken place in the Lu family. The father and his sons left without even having a meal.

Then, on New Year's Day, Lu's mother came out and scolded the neighbors about how unfilial Lu Changzheng was!

But when people asked her what she had done to be unfilial, she couldn't say.

Of course she couldn't say it, because she was bringing up the old matter again, wanting him to give her 300 yuan a year for retirement allowance, and if he didn't give it to her, she wouldn't have to eat!

How could she be happy when they gave brown sugar bricks to these irrelevant people but were unwilling to give her living expenses?

You should know that her daughter called her and cried, saying that Qian Jing was not a human being and was really stingy. Except for letting her barely make ends meet, he didn't give her a penny more to spend!

But how could she bear this? She couldn't even live like this!

Mother Lu was heartbroken.

Look at what kind of life his daughter is living? But this brother doesn't even care about his sister's situation, and even buys brown sugar for others!

A while ago, she was still doing her best to deliver dumplings and buns, but in the end, they were all fed to the dogs!

So how could she not be angry? Wouldn't it be nice if she could transfer the spare money to her daughter to spend?

His true nature was revealed, and he forgot all the warnings and instructions given by Lu Changfu and his wife.

It was impossible for the couple to stop them.

Lu Changzheng is no longer the same person he was before. He will no longer endure whitewashing the situation and give himself the illusion that his family is very united and friendly.

He is no longer rare.

So when he heard his mother's words, he didn't hesitate at all, and ignored Lu Changfu and his wife's attempts to keep him. He took his children and left without even eating.
