The situation reached a stalemate for a time.
Neither side was willing to back down.
Captain Geng, feeling troubled, went to Captain Yang to explain that Lu Xingxing could remarry and perhaps even have more children, while the Geng family seemed unable to have healthy children. He suggested that it would be a good deed to keep the two children.
She took the girl away.
Qiao Wanyue had informed the captain in advance, and he knew what Lu Xingxing meant.
The captain seemed thoughtful and said with difficulty, "Old Geng, you've seen it too. Lu Xingxing is being tortured to death by the Geng family. I don't think she'll be able to have any more children. The Geng family has four sons, and they can't even have a descendant?"
Lu Xingxing only has these two sons; she's counting on them to support her in her old age.
“Lu Xingxing’s two sons aren’t close to her either. Even if you raise them, they’ll be ungrateful. It’s better to raise that little girl properly. Maybe she’ll amount to something great in the future,” Captain Geng said shamelessly.
The captain gave him a deep look.
He chuckled sheepishly.
He knew his words were untenable, but everyone knew that the Geng family had committed sins in their past life, and that only Lu Xingxing had given birth to a healthy child in this life, while the three daughters-in-law could not conceive.
Who would dare marry their daughter into his family?
If he couldn't even keep the child, he was afraid that Granny Geng would come out of the Revolutionary Committee and cause trouble.
Granny Geng is even more unreasonable than Granny Yang.
"Old Yang, just try to persuade them. They'll agree to any conditions. Just let the Geng family pay some compensation and let the child stay." Captain Geng almost swallowed his pride.
The captain said he would give it a try.
As soon as the captain finished speaking to Qiao Wanyue, Qiao Wanyue started arguing with him with a dark face.
Lu Xingxing pulled and pulled until her second sister-in-law stopped jumping up and scratching her.
Captain Geng felt even more embarrassed.
The captain tried to persuade Lu Xingxing again with great earnestness, and finally managed to convince her to give in.
"What did you say? She wants 1,500 yuan!" Old Mrs. Yang jumped up.
Captain Geng said sternly, “Lu Xingxing wants her children to support her in her old age. If you don’t give them to the children, then give them five hundred yuan per child. She will definitely consider the children dead. Otherwise, she will make a scene in the county town and we will get the children back.”
Old Mrs. Yang immediately wanted to start cursing.
Lu Xingxing is just like her mother, greedy for money.
Why doesn't she just rob it?
Captain Geng ignored her and said, "Old Geng, tell me, do you want the child or the money?"
Old Geng held his two grandsons, saying, "I want children."
Old Geng didn't want to give money, but if he didn't, his eldest grandson would be gone.
Old Geng tried to negotiate, "Could you lower the price? We don't want the girl. How about fifty for each son?"
Captain Geng was so angry he laughed.
"Go talk to the Lu family yourself." He had just seen it; the second son of the Lu family was practically begging to scratch the village head of Xiahe Village. If he dared to mention the fifty yuan, wouldn't he be asking for a beating?
The Geng family's daughter-in-law was also unwilling.
Five hundred yuan for a child is less than the price of two hundred yuan to go outside and get one.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that he was still a descendant of the Geng family.
We can take care of them in their old age.
The Geng family discussed it for a while, and Old Man Geng slowly went to his room and took out eight hundred yuan. The daughters-in-law pooled their own savings and added one hundred yuan. Finally, they all looked at Old Lady Yang.
Grandma Yang clutched her wallet.
She has no money.
Old Man Geng pleaded, "Auntie, please have pity on me, okay?"
Grandma Yang glared at her nephew with exasperation, gritted her teeth, and took out a hundred yuan from her purse. Captain Geng gave the money to Lu Xingxing, as the Geng family only wanted their son.
They don't care about their daughter.
Lu Xingxing glanced at her son with "reluctance," checked the money again and again, and found it to be exactly one thousand yuan.
She clutched the money, her eyes filled with tears.
The Geng family was not short of money, yet they wouldn't even give the mother and daughter a cornbread.
Lu Xingxing was filled with hatred.
The child's matter has been resolved.
Old Man Geng held Geng Changsheng's hand and signed the divorce papers. They only had a marriage certificate, not a marriage license, so they didn't need a letter of introduction to get a marriage certificate. Once they signed the divorce papers, they would have no further relationship.
Just when Old Man Geng thought the matter was over.
Qiao Wanyue cleared her throat. "Now that the children have been divided, let's calculate the rest."
The Geng family was dumbfounded.
What else is there to calculate?
