The next morning, when Mrs. Zhu saw her son-in-law making milk powder, she went into the room and talked to Zhu Ting about raising children.
"Tingting, after thinking it over, I've decided not to help you take care of the child. Lanlan is so noisy, I definitely can't take care of her alone. I also have to cook for your dad and the others."
"Mom, if you don't help us take care of the children, who will?"
"Take it to Old Lu's house, or ask someone to take it for you."
"Taking the child to the Lu family is definitely not an option. How can I go back and throw the child to them after I've taken the money? Mom, if you don't help me take care of the child, I will divorce Lu Jin."
Lu Jin paused holding the bottle, his face dark as water, and said coldly, "Zhu Ting, you said you want a divorce?"
Zhu Ting was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw Lu Jin's voice getting cold, she also got angry. "If your mother doesn't help us take care of the child, and my mother doesn't help either, who will take care of the child?"
"Didn't you say you'd take a half-year break from school?"
"Xiaolan cries non-stop every night. She's so disobedient. How can I take care of her by myself?"
"Who made her cry so much?"
"Lu Jin, what do you mean? Are you blaming me? Are you still not a man? You can't even publish an article, you can't carry anything, what's the use of me having you?
You are miles ahead of your elder brother. How could I have been so blind to find a pale-faced scholar like you?"
Don't hit people in the face, don't expose people's shortcomings. Zhu Ting was jumping around on the edge of death. Lu Jin clenched his fist in one hand and held the bottle in the other.
Mrs. Zhu saw her daughter talking nonsense and quickly said, "Tingting, how can you be so outspoken at such a age?"
"How can I be so outspoken? Lu Jin is already worse than his brother. His brother is about to be promoted to a full colonel while he is still studying. His brother treats his sister-in-law very well, but he has to meddle in my affairs for a long time even if I eat two oranges.
The reason his sister-in-law was able to give birth to a big fat boy is because his eldest brother is very capable. Lu Jin is not like that. He becomes soft after only ten minutes in bed. That’s why I gave birth to a daughter who looks like a little chicken.
The words "Lu Jin is no good" became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Lu Jin threw the bottle to the ground. Bang! The bottle broke and the milk powder spilled all over the floor.
"I can't? Then go find a man like my elder brother. Miss Zhu, I won't serve you anymore."
"If you don't want to serve me, then don't serve me. Without you, Lu Jin, I don't know how much more carefree my life would be. Lu Jin, if you have the guts, step out of this room and don't look for me again."
Mrs. Zhu patted Zhu Ting on the shoulder and said, "You stupid kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"
“Woooo ...
Little Yilan, who was sleeping soundly during the day, was frightened when she heard her parents quarreling and suddenly burst into tears.
"Lu Jin, your daughter is here. Since you are leaving, why don't you take her with you? Otherwise, she will be a burden to me."
Shocked, Lu Jin originally wanted to go out and calm down, but when he heard this, he was so angry that he wrapped his daughter in a blanket and carried her away.
Mrs. Zhu wanted to stop him but couldn't. As soon as Lu Jin left, Zhu Ting lay on the bed and wailed, "How could he do this?"
Mrs. Zhu looked very disappointed with her son, and she bit her lip and said, "You dead child, you still say that."
"Mom, you said twice that my child would die during Chinese New Year. If anything happens to me this year, it must be because of your curse."
"Just keep doing it. If you keep doing it, this family will fall apart. If you divorce Lu Jin, it will become a second marriage."
"What's wrong with being a second marriage? I can still get married even if I don't have a child. But no one will want him if he has a child. And the thousand yuan saved by the family is in my hands. I have money, so why should I worry about not being able to find a partner?"
Mrs. Zhu shook her head. This girl was spoiled by them. The Lu family was not so easy to bully.
Lu Jin braved the wind and snow and took the children back to the Lu family by car. As soon as he got home, Lu Jin knelt down in front of Hua Min and Lu Fengnian and told them what happened at his father-in-law's house.
Lu Fengnian was so angry that he slammed the table and wanted to go to the Zhu family to settle the score. Hua Min advised him, "It's not good to quarrel on New Year's Day."
"What's the big deal about Zhu Ting humiliating my son? Since she wants a divorce, we should grant her that."
"Old Lu, they say that reconciliation is the key to success, not separation. Jin'er is angry, why are you joining him in making trouble? Lanlan is still so young, do you want her to leave her mother when she is young?"
Lu Fengnian called Lu Jin up, "Xiao Jin, this is a matter of life and death for you. You need to think carefully about whether you want to continue this marriage."
Lu Jin was very conflicted at this time. He had never thought about divorce before. It was Zhu Ting who brought it up. But he felt very uncomfortable because Zhu Ting put him down like that.
Seeing that Lu Jin remained silent, Lu Fengnian sighed, "You've been completely controlled by her. This woman has no respect for you at all. Do you really want to continue living with her like this?"
"Dad, I want to calm down for two days."
"Okay, calm down for two days, and then we'll go to the Lu family."
Lu Yu and Lu Chen were deeply moved when they heard about their second brother's experience. They secretly ran to their eldest brother's house while their parents were not paying attention.
When Su Yan saw her brothers-in-law coming to visit, she hurriedly brought out two fruit plates, one with dried fruits and the other with fruits.
Seeing that there were chocolates and colorful candies in the dried fruit plate, Lu Yu picked up one and tasted it.
"Sister-in-law, something big has happened."
"What's the big deal?"
"My second brother stayed at Zhu's house for one night and then came back with Lanlan, but my second sister-in-law didn't come back."
Su Yan wondered if they had a fight during Chinese New Year. What on earth had they argued about to irritate the good-tempered Lu Jin so much?
Lu Chen continued, "It's not okay for my second sister-in-law to insult my second brother. Without my eldest brother, there will be a day when I won't make money and won't have a son."
