Chapter 228 The Favored Child
"Isn't it that I came here after receiving your call?"
Lu Tianlei smiled and approached her: "Oh, at this age, you are still losing money. Isn't it shameful!"
"Who is crying? Who is crying? I was just blinded by the wind..."
Zhang Wenbi was both happy and angry, and couldn't help but pinch him twice.
This made Lu Tianlei scream “Ouch, ouch”.
Huang Xinran walked away silently with an amused look on her face. She really couldn't tell that her parents-in-law had such a good relationship.
After Lu Tianlei comforted Zhang Wenbi for a while, they talked about Lu Yunqian. When he learned about the mess Lu Yunqian had done, his face was very calm.
"Where is she now? Take me there."
"Okay... Old man, what are you going to do with her? The child looks plump and white. It would be a pity to give her away. I can't bring myself to do that..."
"What are you thinking? Since she is capable of having a child out of wedlock, she should bear the consequences of this."
Lu Tianlei patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's find the person first."
"good."
With Lu Tianlei's arrival, Zhang Wenbi finally felt more confident. She nodded, said something to the others, and went out with him.
Looking at Huang Xinran standing outside the door, Lu Tianlei turned around and walked over: "Ranran, I will definitely take good care of Lu Yunqian when I go there this time, and don't let her cause trouble for you. Just live a good life with Yunchen, and don't be influenced by her. People should always look forward, right?"
"I know, Dad."
"That's good. That's good."
Lu Tianlei nodded, reached into his pocket and took out a wad of money, and handed it to her, "You can use this money first. If it's not enough, just tell me."
"No, no, no... Dad, there's no way I can take your money, please keep it!"
Huang Xinran quickly declined.
"Just take it if I give it to you, be obedient!"
"That's really not possible, Dad."
Huang Xinran insisted not to accept it: "It's not easy for you to come here right now. You have to spend money on the road, and I'm afraid you will have to spend money on Lu Yunqian later. If I still take your money, when Yunchen comes back and finds out about this, won't he be angry? I absolutely cannot accept this money!"
"Her? I didn't plan to spend money on her..."
Lu Tianlei didn't know what tricks he had in mind to use on Lu Yunqian. However, seeing that Huang Xinran refused to take it, he handed it to Zhang Wenbi: "This money is for you to replenish your body. You have suffered such a big loss because of my Yunchen. It is my Lu family who has let you down. Use this little money to buy something good. Even if you don't eat, the two children still need to grow up."
"dad……"
Huang Xinran was very moved.
During these years since she married into the Lu family, no matter what people outside said about her, the two elders at least never said anything in front of her.
He now took the initiative to express his attitude, which made Huang Xinran feel relieved.
"I don't want the money. But regarding the child, I have made it clear: I will never help Lu Yunqian raise a child. This matter is non-negotiable. Apart from this matter involving the bottom line, if there is any other need, I don't mind helping her."
For example, finding a house to stay temporarily.
She couldn't arrange for her to live in her own house, but she could help her find a suitable house.
As for more, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request.
"rest assured!"
Lu Tianlei didn't say much, he and Zhang Wenbi just rode a bicycle into the city.
Huang Xinran couldn't help sighing as he looked at the backs of the two elders.
He had to travel thousands of miles to clean up his daughter's messy stall, all because of the debt he owed to his daughter!
Huang Xinran was still unsure about how the two elders would solve Lu Yunqian's problem. She tried to contact Lu Yunchen, but Lu Yunchen was still out of contact.
Fortunately, she has become accustomed to the other party losing contact every other day, otherwise, she would be so worried!
Zhang Wenbi and Lu Tianlei did not return that night, and there was no news of them for the next two days.
It was not until three days later that the two men brought Lu Yunqian back.
Lu Yunqian had obviously lost weight. She followed the two elders holding her child in her arms without saying a word. On the contrary, the child in her arms was white and plump and looked very cute.
This child doesn't look much like Lu Yunqian. Lu Yunqian has delicate features, a thin body, and a small oval face with the cuteness and naivety unique to a spoiled child.
But after giving birth, her oval face became smaller and thinner, and her original cuteness disappeared, and she became a bit mean.
The child in her arms had a round face, small eyes, and particularly obvious baby fat.
Huang Xinran frowned at first glance.
The last time she saw this child, she didn't pay much attention to him. Now that she looked at him carefully, she realized that this child looked very much like the boy from the Niu family.
Could it be that...
An idea flashed through her mind, and she subconsciously looked at Lu Tianlei, but Lu Tianlei's eyes were looking at the small house.
The house allocated to them by the troop was really small, and she had also separated a room for her child, which made the living room outside small as well. When there were more people, it seemed even more cramped.
"Mom and Dad, are you hungry? I'll go cook dinner and it will be ready in a moment."
"Don't move! The doctor said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. How can it be easy to heal a lot of your broken bones? Rest well, I'll be done in a minute."
Zhang Wenbi took the initiative to say this, and as he walked towards the kitchen, he thought of Lu Yunqian and looked back: "You, come over and help."
"I'm still holding the baby..."
Lu Yunqian was unwilling, but Lu Tianlei glared at her: "When you were little, your mother carried one child after another to work as soon as she got out of confinement. Don't you want to work? If you don't work, you'll starve to death."
"But……"
Lu Yunqian wanted to explain herself but she didn't dare to, so she could only reluctantly go to the kitchen with the child in her arms.
In fact, what Lu Tianlei said was a bit exaggerated.
But he was also partially true.
When Lu Yunqian was still very young, the country encountered three years of natural disasters, which led to a large-scale reduction in production, and even many villages had no harvest at all.
In order to avoid starving to death and to fill your stomach, you have to eat immediately after giving birth.
After all, there were several older children up there, all with open mouths waiting to be filled, so they had no time to care about the younger ones.
Because of the limited conditions at the time, Zhang Wenbi had little milk after giving birth, and Lu Yunqian was almost hanging on by a thread. She finally survived the most difficult three years, and the child grew up.
Therefore, whether it was Lu Tianlei or Zhang Wenbi, or even the whole family, they all spoiled her and got used to her, and there was no doubt that there was a sense of compensation involved.
But no matter how much I love you, I can't stand the disappointment and sadness again and again.
Even Lu Tianlei, looking at the child whom he once loved with all his heart, is now only cold and apathetic.
"I have discussed this with her mother and have decided to find a suitable man for her to marry."
Lu Tianlei never stops talking until he shocks people. As soon as he opened his mouth, Huang Xinran was startled.
