Chapter 355 Guilty

Mother Lu just came home and didn't want to talk about all these unhappy things, so she just said "I know" to follow Father Lu's words.

When they cleaned up and made breakfast, it was already dawn.

Father Lu went to work soon.

When passing by the security department, he found his eldest son and said, "Your mother is back this morning. You can come over to have dinner together in the evening. Weiguo and his friends also bought toys for Xiaozhen, and you can take them back when the time comes."

After hearing this, Lu Jianguo smiled and said, "Dad, I know, you should go to work quickly, don't be late."

In the evening, Mother Lu cooked a few hard dishes, made some wine, and waited for her husband and the eldest son's family to come.

As soon as Lu Zhen entered the house, he shouted, "Grandma!"

Lu's mother responded with a smile. After seeing Lu Zhen, she touched his head and said, "Has our Xiao Zhen grown taller?"

Lu Jianguo smiled and said, "Of course not. He is the tallest in his class."

After that, he looked at his mother again, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and Mom has become a lot younger. You said you would come back but you didn't tell me in advance so that I could pick you up."

Lu's mother said, "Your dad can still ride a bike, so he doesn't let you get up early to run back and forth."

Qin Ping greeted Lu's mother at this time, "Mom."

Lu's mother smiled and nodded, "Xiaoping, how are you doing in the factory recently?"

Qin Ping smiled bitterly, "It's okay, but not as good as when mom was here."

Now she knew what it meant to leave someone alone.

Since her mother-in-law retired, some of the conveniences she used to have are no longer available, and other workers don't greet her with smiles like before.

It was then that she realized how much of a benefit her mother-in-law had been to her in the factory.

But there is nothing she can do now, as her mother-in-law is old.

Fortunately, several leaders have a good relationship with her mother-in-law, so she hasn't suffered any major grievances.

Lu's mother naturally knew that her life as the eldest daughter-in-law would not be as good as before after she retired, but she would just return to the position of an ordinary worker and would not suffer any major grievances.

As long as she can adapt to this gap, the rest will not be a problem.

Lu Jianguo and Lu's father ate the meals made by Lu's mother with satisfaction in their eyes.

The two grandfathers said in unison, "It smells so good!"

After that, they looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed. It was also because they had not eaten Mother Lu's food for a long time.

Qin Ping just ate without expressing any opinions.

However, Xiao Zhen would pick up a piece of meat for Mother Lu from time to time.

At this time, Mother Lu couldn't help but think of her youngest daughter-in-law. If she thought her dishes were delicious, she would definitely praise her with sweet words.

However, this thought only flashed through her mind, and she regained her composure.

After eating and drinking, Qin Ping helped to wash the dishes.

Mother Lu looked at it and didn't say anything more.

Although this eldest daughter-in-law has many shortcomings, she is better than the worst.

After Qin Ping finished washing the dishes, Lu's mother went into the house and took out the toys that Shi Tingyu and the others had brought for Xiao Zhen, and handed them to her eldest grandson, "Xiao Zhen, this is a toy your uncle and aunt bought for you."

Lu Zhen excitedly stepped forward, "Really? Uncle and aunt are so kind to me. I will save my pocket money to buy a toy for my brother during the Chinese New Year, and grandma will help me bring it to him so that he won't forget me."

Hearing Lu Zhen say this, Lu's mother felt very comforted. She should be content, Xiao Zhen is a good person.

The grandparents were talking happily, and Qin Ping seemed to be looking forward to it.

She thought about the wool scarf her brother and sister bought her during the Chinese New Year. She still wore it even when it was cold. The material and style of the scarf made people ask her where she bought it from time to time. She was very proud of it.

But she was destined to be disappointed this time because Lu's mother did not go in to get anything until they left.

On the way back, Qin Ping complained quietly: "This year, my brother-in-law didn't bring us anything."

It was a winter night, and there were not many people on the road. Qin Ping's words were heard by Lu Jianguo, "Okay, don't be ungrateful. It's good that Wei Guo and his family can think of Xiao Zhen. I haven't seen you buy anything for Wei Guo on weekdays, and you can't force others to buy things for you."

Qin Ping stopped talking for a moment, because she felt a little guilty at this time.

In July, Shen Shen celebrated her second birthday. Lu Jianguo asked her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick out a set of clothes for Shen Shen and send it over. She took the money, but didn't buy anything.

At that time, she was angry that her mother-in-law ran to Nanjing to take care of her grandson without caring about them.

At that time, Lu Zhen happened to be sick with a fever. She was reluctant to give up the salary for taking leave, but she had to take leave.

You know, if Lu Zhen had a headache or fever, it was her mother-in-law who took care of him.

Of course, she could also ask Lu Jianguo to take leave to take care of him, but as the head of the security department, Lu Jianguo's salary was higher than hers, so it was most appropriate for her to take leave to take care of him.

She took leave and took care of the child, but she felt a little resentful in her heart.

However, she knew that she could not make decisions for her mother-in-law, so she could only sulk by herself. It happened that Lu Jianguo asked her to buy a birthday present for Shen Shen and send it to Jinling. She didn't buy it at the time.

When Lu Jianguo asked, she said that she had already sent it. Lu Jianguo didn't think that his wife could lie about such a thing, and he really believed her.

At this time, Qin Ping dared not complain about anything, and could only walk behind Lu Jianguo dejectedly.

Lu Zhen happened to see his mother's guilty face, he stepped forward and asked quietly: "Mom, did you do something wrong?"

Qin Ping glared at him and made a gesture to shut up at him.

Lu Zhen understood, thinking that his mother's intermittent stupidity had come again, and he planned to have a good talk with her when he went home in the evening.

While Lu Jianguo drank some wine and fell asleep, Lu Zhen asked Qin Ping if she had done anything wrong.

She had no defense against her son, and was tricked into talking in a few seconds.

Lu Zhen felt depressed when he heard that his mother did not buy a birthday present for Shen Shen and hid it from his father.

Is this something a human would do?

How could such a thing be concealed? His grandmother had been in Jinling for most of the past six months.

But before that, he had to talk to his mother.

He did what he said.

Lu Zhen began to talk eloquently.

He talked about how good Shi Tingyu was to him, how good the other party was to the two adults, and then analyzed the consequences of Qin Ping's actions. Finally, he concluded, "Mom, you did a very ugly thing."

Lu Zhen was twelve years old, which was a sensible age in the countryside, so Qin Ping accepted her son's teachings well.

Lu Zhen looked at his mother's stupidity, sighed helplessly, and sent her back to rest.

After getting up the next morning, Lu Zhen quietly told Lu Jianguo about this, and Lu Jianguo wanted to find Qin Ping immediately.

But on second thought, he held back.

That day, he took a day off and personally took his son on winter vacation to the department store to pick out a gift for Shen Shen.

The birthday gift was missed, but the New Year's gift was still okay.

When Qin Ping came back from work in the afternoon, she learned that Lu Jianguo had taken leave to buy something for Shen Shen.

Her first reaction was not anger, but fear.

How could she not be panicked when what she had done was known?

Fortunately, Lu Jianguo did not say much, but just tightened her temper and reiterated that she was not allowed to do such things in the future, otherwise she would not be allowed to interfere with Shen Shen's birthday gifts in the future.

Qin Ping quickly apologized. She was just overwhelmed by the rush of her mind at the time. She regretted it afterwards, otherwise she would not be so guilty.
