Lu Fengnian felt extremely sad when he thought about his biological mother who died of heavy bleeding during childbirth and his aunt who married his father as his second wife.
He is the poor child without a mother. His mother died of heavy bleeding during childbirth. He is guilty.
"Dad, don't be sad. Maybe grandma didn't die giving birth to you?"
"You're a conspiracy theorist, kid. My mother didn't die giving birth to me. Was she murdered? I've seen photos of my mother. She's so beautiful. Your grandfather definitely wouldn't be able to kill her.
You wouldn't doubt your aunt, would you? How could she, a little girl, be so bold as to harm others? If she really was the one who harmed people, my grandfather would never have married her into the Lu family."
Lu Ting thought about it and realized that in that era, children born by young women were indeed not valued that much, and even if they had the intention to do something evil, they didn't have the courage to do it.
"Dad, what kind of person was my great-grandmother? Could she have had anything to do with my grandma's death?"
Lu Fengnian thought carefully about what kind of person his grandmother was. She was an old lady with bound feet, very superstitious, and favored boys over girls. She didn't seem to like his aunt and Lu Shiwei very much.
"How did your grandmother die? Go ask your grandfather next time you go back. If your grandfather hadn't mentioned this, I would have thought I was born by my aunt.
Okay, let’s get to work first. Bury what needs to be buried, and put away what needs to be put away.”
Lu Jin and Hua Min stayed to organize their treasure chests, while Lu Ting and his son Lu Fengnian each carried a hoe and went to the backyard.
Su Yan put her treasure back into the bag of wool, took a flashlight to the backyard to light them up, and watched the father and son start digging the hole, one with a hoe and the other with a hoe.
It took the father and son a full hour to dig a three-meter-deep pit. When Lu Fengnian was taking a break, Lu Jin came over and dug a few more times with a shovel.
After putting the box down, Su Yan suddenly asked, "Will the rain seep through the box when it rains heavily?"
Lu Ting smiled and said, "Even if the rain seeps through the box, the things inside won't be damaged. At most, the silver coins will oxidize and look ugly."
Lu Fengnian said, "Then put the silver dollar and the yellow croaker in the jar and seal the jar with wax."
Su Yan smiled and raised her eyebrows at Lu Ting. See, your dad is much smarter than you.
Lu Ting thought for a moment and said unyieldingly, "Dad, let's put a tarp over this big box of porcelain. We don't know when we can take it out."
"Well, that's a good idea. It's almost ten o'clock. Let's finish the work early and rest early."
"To avoid arousing suspicion, let's lay some blue bricks in the yard when we have the conditions!"
Su Yan gave Lu Ting a thumbs up and paved blue bricks in the yard. In the future, shoes would not get dirty when walking on rainy days, and outsiders would not suspect that there were treasures under the blue bricks.
It was half past ten before they restored the yard to its original state. Su Yan usually went to bed at around eight o'clock, and she was indeed a little sleepy at this time.
The couple returned from the Lu family with their treasures. Su Yan went back to her room to hide the treasures her mother-in-law had given her in her space. She was worried that Lu Ting would open the painting and take a look at it, so she asked, "Lu Ting, are you really giving me this painting?"
"If Yanyan likes it, I'll give it to you."
"Then I hid it. Don't ask me where the painting is."
"Well, I won't ask, so you hide it! Actually, I can also paint Chinese paintings, including landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, but not as good as my grandma."
It turns out that the painting gene can be inherited from generation to generation?
"Really? You're really amazing!"
"How about I draw you a picture then? One with clothes on and one without clothes on? Which one do you like?"
Lu Ting smiled and stole a kiss on Su Yan's face. Su Yan kicked him on the butt and said, "You filthy rascal, get out of here! I'm going to hide my treasure."
This person is like two different people during the day and at night. He becomes unruly as soon as he comes back.
After Lu Fengnian and Hua Min finished washing up, they lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. "Xiao Min, it turns out I'm a motherless child. No wonder you've suffered so much with me."
"I haven't suffered any grievances following you. Don't think too much. The children are all grown up, Jin'er is back, and our lives will get better and better."
Lu Fengnian hugged Hua Min and rested his head on her shoulder, sobbing, "Wow... I, Lu Fengnian, am a man of integrity, but I feel so sorry for my mother! If I hadn't been born so big, my mother would definitely not have died in childbirth."
"Don't think about it, this matter has nothing to do with you. They say everyone has their own destiny. It's because my mother-in-law is unlucky and has no chance to be with her relatives.
Your mother was only a teenager at the time, and had no experience in pregnancy and childbirth..."
Hua Min paused as she spoke. "If my mother-in-law has no experience, does that mean my grandmother has no experience too? Doesn't my grandmother have any experience too?"
"Fengnian, your father said that your mother had a difficult birth because you were too big, right? Looking at your mother's photo, she doesn't look too weak or small. Could it be that your grandmother knew your mother was pregnant with a son and tried her best to make her pregnant?"
Lu Fengnian let go of Hua Min, "Xiao Min, are you doubting my grandmother and letting my mother make up for it too much?"
"You can try to get your father to tell you why they kept it a secret from you for so many years. Why did your mother have a difficult birth? Didn't the midwife have any experience?"
Lu Fengnian analyzed it carefully and felt that there must be some unspeakable secret, otherwise why would they keep it secret for decades?
No matter who was involved in his mother's death, he had to find out the truth of the matter.
If it was your aunt who did it, then don't blame him for being rude. Just kick her out as soon as your dad leaves.
If his grandmother killed his own mother, he couldn't burn incense for her now anyway, and he wouldn't burn incense for her secretly in the future.
"When Xiaoyan gives birth next time, she must go to the hospital and not hire a midwife. If you don't have enough money, we'll pay for it."
Hua Min glanced at Lu Fengnian and said, "Your son is precious. We don't need to take Yanyan to the hospital. Ting'er will probably find someone to arrange a bed for her in advance."
Lu Fengnian suddenly laughed out loud, "Xiao Min, have you forgotten that our in-laws all work in the military hospital?"
"Yes, my in-laws all work in the hospital, so we don't have to worry too much about Yanyan having a difficult delivery. However, since she's giving birth in the hospital, we have to prevent the other roommates from stealing the baby."
When they talked about this, they remembered that their son had been replaced by a daughter by their family, and Lu Fengnian and Hua Min were particularly annoyed.
Not only did they raise someone else's child for 19 years in vain, but the person who stole their child was actually their own family member. They are simply worse than animals.
Gu Li is also very annoyed now. Lu Jin has returned to the compound, and now everyone knows that she is not a child of the Lu family.
Everyone came to laugh at her, saying that she was kicked out of the Lu family, but she refused to leave the art troupe and wanted to suck her uncle's blood.
In short, there were all kinds of things said. She went to argue with them, but she couldn't win. Fortunately, Ye Yao always stood by her.
Help her speak well of her and comfort her. It wasn't her fault that she took the wrong child. What does it have to do with her? Those people are just full and have nothing better to do!
