Huang Shuping saw her mother-in-law glance at the eldest grandson of the Lu family, and then glance at her two second sons, her face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Why is this child's skin so white? He doesn't look like his father at all."
Su Yan was about to pick up her bowl to eat when she was angered by what Zhu's eldest sister-in-law said and was about to retort.
Hua Min smiled and said, "My Yiming looks exactly like his father when he was a child. My Lu Ting was also fair and tender when he was young, but he got quite tanned after joining the army."
Seeing her mother-in-law say this, Su Yan also agreed, "My Lu Ting is indeed tanned. Except for his hands and face, the parts of his body that are not sunburned are still quite white."
Is Lu Ting dark? Not too dark, but standing next to Su Yan, he definitely looks darker. Besides, Lu Ting's chest, abdomen, and thighs are quite white.
Lu Ting made a bottle of milk powder for his son and heard his wife praising his white skin. He smiled at her.
Huang Shuping felt that the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family was quite shameless. Everyone was eating, why was she talking about men's bodies? Who wants to know whether your man is white or not?
Su Yan ate her meal quietly. As long as they didn't bring up the topic of her son and Lu Ting, she wouldn't say a word.
After dinner, they sat down to discuss the issue of betrothal gifts. The betrothal gifts for all of Lu Fengnian's sons were 400 yuan, a ladies' watch and two pieces of cloth.
However, they had promised to buy Lu Jin a bicycle before, so they bought him one for this wedding. After all, they owed this second son.
Lu Fengnian also said that because of the famine, he didn't have a wedding banquet for his eldest son's wedding, but he had a wedding banquet for his eldest grandson's third birthday, and he had a wedding banquet for his second son's wedding, so he wouldn't have a wedding banquet for the birth of his child.
Principal Zhu had no objection, but Mrs. Zhu didn't dare to say anything. Huang Shuping looked at the watch on Su Yan's hand and asked, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family bought a plum blossom watch. Should she buy a plum blossom watch for Xiao Ting as well?"
Su Yan wanted to laugh. The Lu family bought him a domestic watch, and this one was obviously on the black market in Tianjin. They also bought several imported Rolexes, but what does this have to do with the betrothal gift?
It wasn't the Lu family's money that Lu Ting used to buy her a watch, bicycle, and sewing machine.
Su Yan remained silent, and neither did Lu Ting, waiting to see what further demands the Zhu family had.
As the head of the family, Lu Fengnian said: "The plum blossom watch on Xiaoyan's hand, as well as the bicycle and sewing machine, were all bought with my son Lu Ting's own savings.
We bought her a domestic watch at that time. My son Ting was shopping in a department store and saw a Plum Blossom leather strap watch on the counter that was very suitable for his wife, so he bought an extra one.
They moved out right after they got married, and they still send us vegetables, grains, and fruits every month. They even paid for the wedding banquet for Yiming.
Lu Fengnian was also afraid that after Zhu Ting married into the Lu family, she would find out that the eldest daughter-in-law had everything while she had nothing, and she would then think that her parents-in-law were partial to each other, so he decided to tell them all at once.
Zhu Ting glanced at Lu Jin in confusion. Lu Jin understood what she meant and nodded. "Well, my eldest brother did buy a lot of things for my sister-in-law after he got married. Xiaoting, when I start working and earning money, I will make up for the purchases you need."
Zhu Ting smiled and said, "Okay!"
Huang Shuping thinks her sister-in-law is a little silly. She believes a man's promise casually. When she gets married and has children, there will be a lot of things to spend money on. How can she remember the original promise?
Seeing the Zhu family's daughter nod in agreement, Lu Fengnian continued, "We have a courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong, covering an area of about 300 square meters, and Chen'er and Yu'er live there now.
Because I am the eldest son and grandson of the Lu family, my grandfather left the house to me. I originally planned to leave it to Lu Ting, but now I have decided to leave it to my eldest grandson Lu Yiming. Jin'er, Chen'er and the others agreed at the time.
Zhu Jinghong laughed awkwardly. Old Lu had so many sons that it was indeed difficult to divide the yard. It would be fine if each of them could get two or three rooms. If all were given to Lu Ting's children, there would be no need to worry about the other children being disappointed.
Seeing her husband remained silent, Mrs. Zhu naturally hesitated to speak. Huang Shuping, however, had no qualms and said with a smile, "Uncle Lu, I heard that Lu Jin was adopted later. He hasn't been around for so many years. Don't you think of compensating him in any way?"
Lu Fengnian showed a fake smile on his face, not embarrassed. They did owe their second son, so he said that in addition to the 400 yuan betrothal gift, didn’t he promise to buy them another bicycle?
"Except for the house, everything else in our Lu family is divided equally. My Xiaojin doesn't have a job, so he has one more bicycle than his brother."
Zhu Wei smiled awkwardly, "Uncle Lu, my wife didn't mean anything else. She was just worried that my sister would have no place to live after she gave birth to a child.
Your yard is so big, one child can get two or three rooms, right?"
"The house is still under my name, and I have no objection to giving it to Jin'er, Chen'er, and the others to live in. However, the ownership of the house needs to be settled first. The Lu family's ancestral home must eventually be registered under the name of the eldest son and grandson of the Lu family."
Zhu Jinghong nodded, "Old Lu, they are all children of the Lu family. When your Lu Chen and Lu Yu get married, you have to prepare a house for them, right?
Your family's courtyard has so many rooms, it would be great if each son could have several. As for the ownership, it can be given to whoever you decide. As long as the children have a place to live, that's all that matters."
Su Yan is now completely uninterested in the courtyard house. Her father-in-law had previously said that he would give the house to Lu Ting, and now that her son was born, he said he would give it to her son.
Even if her father-in-law really transferred the ownership of the house to Lu Ting's name, Su Yan knew that there would still be trouble after Lu Chen and Lu Yu got married.
The Lu family's sons did not make a fuss at the beginning, but when they got married, how could they not make a fuss once pillow talk started? They were all sons of the Lu family, so why should it be given only to the eldest brother?
So now she is trying to find a way to quickly negotiate the deal for the four-courtyard house in Houhai. She will feel at ease only after she gets the land deed and the house deed.
Her parents-in-law are not yet fifty years old and can live for at least another twenty or thirty years. It’s pointless to quarrel every day over a house. Anyway, she has no hope of staying in the Lu family’s yard.
After dinner, Su Yan took the child from Lu Ting and went back to her room. She didn't care what the Zhu family talked about.
She could understand that from the Zhu family's perspective, they definitely hoped that their daughter would marry into a wealthy family and live a good life.
After drinking the milk powder, Lu Yiming wanted to sleep, but he became energetic when he thought of the Lu family's courtyard house.
"Boss Su, my grandfather wants to leave that courtyard house to me. In my previous life, I worked so hard and had to pay for housing every month. I never expected that after traveling through time, I would become a wealthy third-generation rich man. My grandfather wants to give me the courtyard house. I'm so rich."
"Your grandfather said before that he would leave the courtyard house to your father, but all the Su brothers could live in it. Don't you understand that it's just a name, for the sake of appearance?"
Grandpa said he would definitely give it to me. I don't mind if my second uncle, third uncle, or younger uncle lives in it. When I grow up, I'll sell the courtyard house and buy a villa. They won't come to steal it anymore.
[Go to sleep, stop dreaming. Study hard in the future and buy yourself a big villa.]
"Boss Su, didn't you want to buy a big yard? Why haven't you gone ahead and bought it yet? If someone else buys it, you'll have no place to cry."
【Why are sellers so anxious to leave in May? 】
