"Didn't you hear anything? Why don't you go and take a look!"
Lu Guofu was sitting under the veranda at the door of the house, with iron sheets, steel files and other things placed in front of him.
He was originally a welder in the factory, but after being injured, he could no longer do heavy work.
My son took over my job, but as a grown man in his fifties, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
So he made some small gadgets at home using the scraps from the factory or discarded iron sheets and bars.
Making a basin, repairing a pot, these odds and ends, seemingly insignificant, can earn you around ten dollars a month.
It is very rare for a disabled person like him to be able to support himself and contribute a little to the family income.
Being able to earn money and not become a burden to his family, Lu Guofu's mood gradually calmed down.
He is no longer as depressed and decadent as he was when he had just had his amputation.
After his father, who was paralyzed by a stroke, passed away, Lu Guofu felt more and more that a huge mountain weighing on his heart had been removed.
Yes, his biological father died, and Lu Guofu’s first reaction was not sadness or sorrow, but a long sigh of relief.
You really can't blame him for being unfilial.
There will be no filial son by the bedside of a long-term patient.
The family was extremely poor, and Lu Guofu had no conditions to be filial to his parents.
It’s better that dad is dead, at least he doesn’t have to suffer anymore.
Moreover, without the paralyzed elderly person at home, it would be easier for Huazi to find a partner.
There were only two rooms in their house, one was used as the main room, and the other was partitioned. Old Man Lu occupied half, and Lu Guofu lived in the other half with his little daughter.
Lu Xinhua is a grown man, but he doesn't even have his own room.
Can only sleep in the main room.
Of course, these days, no one has a big house.
There are cases where three generations of a family and more than a dozen people live in one house.
But, Old Man Lu is a paraplegic.
Unable to take care of oneself.
Lu Guofu himself is a cripple, and Feng Sufen is also in poor health. Even though the couple takes care of them, there is always a smell of feces and urine in the house.
Until now, Lu Guofu still remembers the time a few years ago when the matchmaker brought the girl to his house to meet him.
As soon as the door curtain was lifted, the girl covered her nose.
There are also some more delicate ones who will have sex with you right in front of you.
That scene was extremely embarrassing.
Lu Guofu and his family wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Fortunately, the old man couldn't bear it anymore and passed away in the middle of the night last year.
Lu Guofu and his wife cried bitterly.
Not only was she crying for her father, but she was also crying for her own suffering, and the sliver of joy in her heart.
Finally he left, and Huazi got rid of his biggest burden.
Son, woooo, my son can finally talk about marriage.
After the funeral, Lu Guofu and Feng Sufen discussed cleaning up the house and then arranging a marriage for Lu Xinhua.
It was just that we didn't have enough money at the time, and bricks, cement and other materials were hard to come by, so it was delayed for several months.
Last month, Lu Guofu and his wife finally scraped together enough money and found someone to get some old bricks from the demolition of their old house, so they were ready to start renovating the house.
Qiao Jianguo had an accident in the front yard.
Then, his own son seemed to be obsessed with her and kept getting close to the young widow Gu Xiaoni every day.
"Hua Zi's father——"
Feng Sufen was guarding a honeycomb coal stove, on which chicken soup was stewing, which was bubbling and emitting steam.
The rich aroma of meat began to fill the yard.
Feng Sufen looked around and saw no neighbors peeking out, so she lowered her voice and said to Lu Guofu, "That Gu Xiaoni is actually a capable person."
They all lived in the same tenement house, and Feng Sufen watched over them for three or four years.
Gu Xiaoni is in charge of all the work in the Qiao family.
When she gave birth to Qiao Qiao, she was about to give birth, but she still struggled to wash bedding and climb up the ladder to clean the house with her big belly.
She is diligent, efficient, and hardworking. She is really a good daughter-in-law.
Every time Feng Sufen saw Gu Xiaoni busy at work, she couldn't help but feel sad: Gu Xiaoni had also met her own Huazi before.
If the family wasn't too burdened, how could her son Huazi lose to that little stutterer Qiao Jianguo based on his character and appearance?
"What's the use of being neat?"
Lu Guofu raised his head and glared at Feng Sufen. "She is Qiao Jianguo's wife, and she's a second-married woman with a child and a big belly."
"Our Huazi is a young man getting married for the first time!"
"What? Are you and Huazi both possessed by evil spirits? Are you so eager to become someone's cheap father and grandmother?"
"Humph! You guys are willing, but I'm not!"
"Besides, we and the Qiao family are neighbors in the same compound, living in the front and back houses."
"If Hua Zi really marries Gu Xiaoni, will Old Madam Ma from the Qiao family be able to stay quiet?"
Once a woman remarries, she has nothing to do with her husband's family.
But Gu Xiaoni is not alone, she has two children.
When the time comes, Ma will use the child as an excuse and say that she misses the child, and run to the Lu family to make trouble. Who can stand it?
Ma is not a kind person.
In this day and age, in this slum, Ma can still gain weight. Haha, you can see how selfish she is!

Lu Guofu is a man after all, more rational and realistic.
He could fully foresee that if his son married the young widow in the front yard, his family would be inseparable from the Qiao family.
By then, maybe his stupid son will have to work like a slave for the old couple of the Qiao family!
