As Su Yan expected, her mother-in-law's leg healed, and on May 1, Zhong Lingshan sent her one-year-old daughter, who could not walk yet, to the Lu family.
That day she hugged Huamin's arm and cried, saying that her son had never had a good day since marrying her, her husband was not by her side when she gave birth, and there was no one to take care of the child.
If her mother-in-law doesn't help her take care of the child, she may not be able to make enough money from her job. Without a job, who will help her raise her daughter?
Zhong Lingshan is not short of money. She said this because she wanted her mother-in-law to sympathize with her. It is very difficult for her to raise the child alone without her husband by her side.
Although Hua Min was soft-hearted, she didn't dare to agree directly when she thought that Lu Jin's wife was pregnant again and Xiangxiang still needed someone to take care of her.
Zhong Lingshan naturally saw Chen Yuhe's bulging belly and felt very uncomfortable knowing that she was pregnant again. Her husband was not around, but her sister-in-law's husband was around, and she also had her mother-in-law to help take care of the child. How could she not be jealous?
This time she learned her lesson and did not argue with Chen Yuhe. After hugging her mother-in-law and crying, she went to hug Chen Yuhe and cry.
Chen Yuhe was completely confused and bewildered by her.
Zhong Lingshan didn't care whether they agreed or not. As long as they didn't object, she would throw down the child's clothes and sixty yuan, and run away without even eating lunch, leaving the child behind.
Lu Fengnian was so angry when he came back. He wanted to send the child back, but he was afraid that the Zhong family would make trouble, after all, Lu Jin had a large family at home.
Lu Yiwei was abandoned in the Lu family by her mother. She cried every morning and every night and became a complete crybaby.
As soon as she cried, seven-month-old Lu Yiman also started crying, making Hua Min and Chen Yuhe's scalps numb.
The Lu family was in chaos. Su Yan shook her head when she learned about this. Zhong Lingshan was indeed not someone to be trifled with. She wondered if she would regret it in the future.
A child raised by his grandmother is naturally his biological grandmother. After Lu Chen comes back, Zhong Lingshan will definitely not take the child back so quickly. She must be busy giving birth to her second and third children by then.
In the end, Lu Yiwei might not be taken back until she's old enough to go to school. When she returns, seeing her parents treating her younger siblings well, she'll definitely feel unbalanced. The relationship between the siblings will definitely not be that good.
Just like Lu Ting and his younger brother and sister, their relationship seems to be good, but they can never play together and there is more or less some estrangement between them.
While the child was taking a nap, Su Yan took a pair of scissors to the flower field, cut a bunch of bean green peonies, and put them in the vase on the dining table in the villa.
Then she carried a basket on her back and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. She planned to wait for Lu Ting to return to the city to collect rent, and then go to the post office to send some food and dried vegetables to her elder brother.
In the evening, Lu Ting came back and said that a family member went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and dug up a jar of silver dollars and gold bricks. A companion who was not far away found it and handed the jar over. She was rewarded with dozens of dollars and a certificate for honesty.
Su Yan asked, "That Huang sister might have dug up someone else's ancestral treasure! Is your father worried about your grandmother's box of dowry?"
Lu Ting nodded. "My dad was a little worried, but I told him not to be afraid. Those things are buried two meters underground. Most people wouldn't dig around if they didn't know where they were."
"I think there will be more and more people going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables tomorrow. I guess many people will regret burying their family heirlooms in the mountains.
Those with yards probably buried their treasures there, or under a tree, right? That way it's easier to find, right? Your grandma's box of dowry will be returned to your father in a few years. Tell him to be patient and wait a few more years."
By then, her father-in-law and her father would have retired and would have moved into their own courtyard houses. She also planned to take the children back to the city, leaving Lu Ting in the military compound.
"It's no use for my dad to rush. I told him I would dig it out for him when the time comes. Later he said there's no rush, and that we have many sons, so most of the things will belong to them when the time comes."
"I didn't expect your father to make such a promise to you again. Do you think that the ancestral home of our family will eventually be given to your son?"
"Yan Yan, of all the grandchildren, my dad likes Yiming the most. He will definitely give that yard to Yiming."
"Lu Jin and Lu Chen weren't married before, and just because they didn't object back then doesn't mean they won't object in the future. Besides, now that your father knows we have such a big yard, will he still give the house to your son?"
"My dad is a traditional man. He always keeps his word. If he says he will give, he will definitely give. Even if we have eight or ten houses, my dad will still leave the ones that belong to Yiming to him."
Su Yan did not continue to argue with Lu Ting. She decided to take things one step at a time. In a few years, the hospital would definitely allocate a house to Lu Jin. Lu Chen and Lu Yu were so capable that they would definitely be allocated houses as well.
I’m afraid that Zhong Lingshan and Chen Yuhe will be dissatisfied after giving birth to a son and will want to fight for the house for their son.
The company's house only had the right to use it, but the ancestral house would belong to them for life as long as they didn't sell it. Any fool would want it, and they weren't stupid, especially Zhong Lingshan, a cunning woman.
Su Yan might give in to them on other things, but she would definitely not give up on the courtyard house. She has three sons, so of course the more houses the better.
When her conditions improved and she made money from her business, she wanted to give not only a yard to each of her sons, but also one to each of her daughters.
Of course, the house given to my daughter is in her name, and the houses given to my sons are all in her name. If they make her unhappy, they can be taken back.
She would never live her life to please her daughter-in-law and son. Life is short. She might as well spend that time planting flowers and taking her parents on a trip.
"Can you take a day off to take the kids to the park on Children's Day?"
"Your son has a performance that day. Let's go to school to watch your son perform. They are rehearsing the show now."
"What show will my son perform?"
"A big chorus and two dance numbers."
Su Yan wondered if her son, being so big, would be too funny to dance. As for singing, he had a loud voice and sang well.
"Do you want to buy a performance costume?"
"Well, we need to buy costumes, but their performance costumes can also be worn everyday. The boys wear white short-sleeved shirts and blue shorts, and the girls all wear skirts, but they didn't specify the color."
"How do you know so clearly?"
"I sent Yiming to school, and his teacher told me that he would be allowed to join the Young Pioneers next June 1st."
Su Yan has to stay at home to take care of the triplets and can't leave. When the school has a parent-teacher meeting or something, Lu Ting is usually notified to go.
Lu Yiming was quite obedient in school. Although he didn't get first place in every subject, he would get a few certificates of merit every semester. The teacher made him the class monitor because he was tall.
Based on his grades and performance, he should be able to join the Young Pioneers, but he is not old enough and has to wait until the third grade to have the opportunity.
