Many hands make light work, and in no time, both rooms were tidied up.
Others came spontaneously. Seeing that the house was already crowded with people, someone mentioned that there was no yard. The men spontaneously carried axes and went into the woods, and soon they had put up a fence.
The sky was dark, and even the stove had been set up in the courtyard.
The overgrown house has been transformed into a place with a touch of everyday life.
Lu Xingxing looked at the people in the yard and smiled at them, "Thank you all for helping the Geng family today. I'm here to fulfill the promise my second sister-in-law made to you. Everyone who helped today, whether you're an uncle or an aunt, will receive one yuan."
Lu Yunqi glanced at the girl.
They have money to burn.
He, as the eldest brother, paid for it.
Lu Xingxing grabbed her brother, "Brother, I have money, I'm happy today."
Everyone was happy.
Lu Xingxing distributed the money to the people who helped. Everyone received a share. Even if only two people from one household came, she would still give them two yuan and thank them profusely, making everyone blush.
I didn't think much about it when I went to help, I never expected to get paid.
A total of forty-eight men and women went, and Lu Xingxing gave out forty-eight yuan.
The courtyard was filled with more than forty people. The brigade leader cleared his throat and said, "Xingxing and her daughter are weak women after all. Those of you who are free tonight should come and take a look. Don't let those blind fools bully the mother and daughter."
"Don't worry, Captain, we won't let anyone bully Xingxing."
"We came as a group to keep watch."
The captain looked at the others with a smile.
"Alright, let's go home and have our family reunion dinner first."
Everyone left.
"Are you really not coming home for dinner?"
A cold glint flashed in Lu Xingxing's eyes. "I'm not going. Sisters, you should go back. Panpan and I will cook some porridge in a bit."
Her tone was somewhat unpleasant.
He turned and went into the room.
"You too, why bring it up at home for no reason?" Sister-in-law Lu could tell that Lu Xingxing really disliked Lu Rong.
Lu Yunqi sighed.
This is the mess Lu Rong created.
Let her settle it herself.
"Xingxing, your older brother has gone home for dinner. If you need anything, Panpan can go to his house to get it. That's your older brother and sister-in-law's home now, so don't be shy."
"Good brother, I won't stand on ceremony."
The three of them pushed the bike home.
Lu Rong was still sitting in the courtyard; the lunch he had prepared at noon had gone cold.
Seeing them return, Lu Rong jumped to his feet. "How did it go?"
Lu Hui ran over, and Lu Yunqi hugged the child and kissed him a few times before washing his hands and walking to the dining table.
The food has been reheated several times, but it's still lukewarm.
"We're divorced."
Lu Rong slammed his hand heavily on the table. "How could we get a divorce?"
Lu Yunqi, who had been holding back his temper, couldn't hold back any longer after hearing this. "No divorce? Do you want Lu Xingxing to be beaten to death? Are you even her biological mother? You've suffered so much, and now she has to go through it all again?"
"If we swallow our anger, we'll still be beaten to death by the Geng family."
Lu Rong didn't expect her son to lose his temper with her. She already felt guilty, and Lu Yunqi's yelling made her tears fall down in a steady stream.
“That’s not what I meant. She has three children.”
Lu Yunqi sneered, "Isn't that the result of your own actions? If you had been able to protect Xingxing back then, she would have escaped and could have gotten away in the next step. You tricked her into coming back, just for the sake of so-called filial piety."
"If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have suffered like this."
Lu Rong looked aggrieved. "I don't know either. Is it all my fault that she's unhappy in her marriage?"
Lu Yunqi laughed angrily, "If it's not your fault, is it mine?"
