A family of old, weak, women and children, a laughing stock in the surrounding villages.
"I'm with Tan Jiancheng and someone is taking care of me." He has always been a man of few words in the Lu family, and it was rare for him to explain today.
Lu Jinhua was still about to take action, but her father saw that Cheng Haoze had already made up his mind. He immediately dismissed his eldest daughter, took a puff of welding smoke, and was silent for a while before saying:
"Dad doesn't object if you want to go out and earn money. But you have to leave a boy at home, otherwise the old man won't agree." This was the first time that Lu's father put on a bad face in front of Cheng Haoze.
"Our family is poor, and Changsheng has never had good food or clothes since he was born. I'll go out and earn money for two years, and then have a boy for the family, which will be just right." Cheng Haoze wanted to play dirty tricks.
Lu's mother thought that this made sense. Her grandson must eat better and dress better than others when he is born. That is what a golden grandson is.
"Raising children is not difficult for people in the countryside because they have money at home." When his two younger daughters got married, the betrothal gift was a sum of money. Although he did not keep all of it, he left more than half of it.
Over the years, the old couple has raised three daughters and still has some spare money, otherwise they would not have the confidence to recruit a live-in son-in-law.
"Jinhua just gave birth to Xiao Changsheng not long ago. I heard people say that having children too frequently is bad for women's health." Cheng Haoze tried to find an excuse, "If you are not healthy, you can't raise a good child, especially a boy. He eats a lot in the belly."
No matter whether it is reasonable or not, as long as it can make the Lu family give in and let him call me grandpa, it's fine.
"Old lady, from today on, Jinhua will not work in the fields. Just cook an egg every day. Take good care of yourself and give me a smart, fat grandson." After saying that, he looked at Cheng Haoze again.
"In the past, when food and clothing were scarce, women in every household gave birth to one child after another. Some women started having children at 17 or 18, and they would still have seven or eight children and still be alive and well. Grandma Ji, who lived to the east of the village, gave birth to seven children and lived to be over 90."
Therefore, in Lu's father's opinion, Cheng Haoze's nonsense just now was useless.
"I must go out to work today." I asked Tan Jiancheng to buy the ticket. It will be auspicious for me to go out today.
"Are you disobedient?" When Lu's father was angry, Lu's mother and Lu Jinhua huddled aside.
Cheng Haoze seemed to be meeting his father-in-law for the first time.
That's right, usually Lu Jinhua and Lu's mother are fighting in the front lines, so Lu's father is naturally not needed.
Today's matter is neither big nor small, but it concerns the vital interests of the Lu family, so it is exaggerated.
"Tsk-", Cheng Haoze laughed. It turned out that he was just a tool for giving birth to children.
He has no use now that he has a son, but now the seeds have not been planted yet, so they are still useful.
But he was disobedient and offended the whole family.
"Or Lu Jinhua can go out to work with me." Cheng Haoze wanted to see the bottom line of this family. In fact, he didn't want to stay in the same space with Lu Jinhua at all.
Lu's mother's eyes lit up. It was a good idea that the two of them could earn money and at the same time, they could have a grandson.
Father Lu pondered for a moment and said, "That's not right. If Jinhua gets pregnant, she'll need someone to take care of her. Your mother and I won't be able to take care of her while you're away."
"I'll send Jinhua back home once she's pregnant, but I'm worried about the long journey. Even if I bring her back after she gives birth to my grandson, the child is too young and the journey is too tiring, so it's not suitable."
So this grandson must be born and raised at home.
Cheng Haoze: ...
"I have already booked the ticket. It's hard to buy tickets, but I can't waste this money. I promise that I will come back after earning money for two years." After returning, it would no longer be up to the Lu family to decide whether to have a son or not.
"After you have a son, I, an old man, will no longer care about the affairs of you young people." Father Lu said with a smile.
I'm pregnant? Cheng Haoze wanted to curse, "Fuck you!"
Cheng Haoze decided to go all out and threw away the luggage bag that was half in Lu Jinhua's arms and went out without taking anything with him.
He was about to run away and disappear.
Father Lu stood up so suddenly that he almost fell. He yelled at the shadow, "If you run away today, don't come back. And your Cheng family's child, raise him by yourselves. My Lu family can't afford it!"
Lu's mother grabbed the child and pushed him out.
Changsheng felt pain and couldn't help crying.
The figure that was about to walk away suddenly stopped.
He took a few steps forward, but eventually fell back.
Changsheng lay on the ground crying heart-wrenchingly. She was still a baby and it really hurt when she fell to the ground.
The three Lus watched coldly from the sidelines. Lu Jinhua hesitated to step forward, but due to Lu's father's sullen expression, she didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves.
"Don't blame your mother for being cruel, you little girl. If you want to blame someone, blame your father. He's hard-hearted and doesn't care about our family."
Cheng Haoze heard this when he came back. He didn't bother to argue with anyone and hurried forward to pick up his daughter and coax her carefully, fearing that she would get hurt.
"Lu Jinhua, Cheng Changsheng is not your biological son?" What a mother, treating her own flesh and blood like this.
"Her surname is Cheng, not Lu." Lu Jinhua's anger grew. Although she spoke without thinking, she also expressed her true feelings.
Cheng Haoze stared at the three people from the Lu family in a daze. A chill ran down his back, and he regretted becoming a son-in-law.
"Lu Jinhua, I want to divorce you." Cheng Haoze finally said this.
Lu Jinhua widened her eyes, jumped up, and jumped in front of Cheng Haoze, using her nails and teeth to attack.
"Damn it, Cheng Haozi, you are not a human being. You are a housewife and you are getting divorced. How can you have the nerve to..." He uttered those heart-wrenching words over and over again.
"Haozi, this is not right. You came to our house, you were well fed and well dressed, and I always put you before Jinhua. Now that something doesn't suit you, you want a divorce?"
What kind of society is this? People file for divorce over trivial matters. So, can you just divorce me? The government's doors are open to you. Divorce me and let me see. Wouldn't that rub your Cheng family's spine to death, and that that spit wouldn't drown your Chengjiagou?
"Old man, please say something." Mother Lu didn't have a strong opinion. Although she felt that the marriage could not be divorced, she couldn't let a live-in son-in-law control her.
Father Lu knocked his pipe hard against a stone and made a final summary with a stern face.
"Haozi, my family has always treated you, our live-in son-in-law, very well. People in the surrounding villages can all see it. What you said today is disheartening, but since you are young and full of energy, I, an old man, will pretend I didn't hear it.
Even if you call your Cheng family elders to talk about it, they will persuade you to reconcile, not to separate. It's inevitable for a couple to live together without quarreling. If I were to ask you, it's because you have too few children.
"You should hurry up and have one or two more children. Your mother and I are still able to move and help you take care of the children. With more children, there will be more things to do, so there will be no time to be angry."
