"Mother-in-law, there may be a misunderstanding here. It is common for children to speak without restraint. As an elder, you should just give them a lecture." Grandpa Hu said honestly.
Miao Yuxiang smiled, "That's not necessary. I didn't even teach my own son well, let alone teach other people's children. Let's stop talking nonsense and talk about our business."
Then he turned his gaze to his son, "Ai Min, do you choose to stand with the Hu family, or cut the Gordian knot and choose divorce?"
Lu Aimin never thought his mother would ask him this question. He found it hard to believe at the time. Who would persuade their own mother to divorce?
"Mom...why do you say that?" Lu Aimin felt uncomfortable.
"I'm asking you because I hope you can give me a definite answer." Miao Yuxiang said coldly.
Lu Aimin looked at his mother, then at Hu Xuemei, and was in a dilemma.
He had considered what had happened during this period, and he also discovered the differences between himself and Hu Xuemei.
There was no such resolute answer as when my mother asked me the question on the day of my wedding.
Hu Xuemei looked at Lu Aimin with some fear, fearing that he would say he wanted to divorce her.
He turned his eyes and approached Lu Aimin, "Aimin, you can't ignore me. Even if you don't like me, you have to take care of our children."
When Lu Aimin heard about the child, his pupils shrank and he looked at Hu Jinping in disbelief, wondering how come he didn't know about the child.
"When?" Lu Aimin asked.
Hu Xuemei looked at Lu Aimin with some sadness, "I didn't have my period this month, and I didn't realize it yet but I didn't have time to tell you."
Miao Yuxiang narrowed her eyes slightly, somewhat unconvinced by what Hu Xuemei said.
When Hu's mother heard this, she was delighted. "Look, dear, this young couple already has their own child, and you're going to have a grandson soon, so why are you unhappy?
It’s no better for our family to live a good life, don’t you think? ”
Miao Yuxiang didn't say anything, just looked at her son, "Ai Min, what do you mean?"
Lu Aimin said with difficulty, "Mom, forget it, Xuemei is pregnant."
Miao Yuxiang sighed and looked at her son. "If you don't want to leave Xuemei, I won't force you."
Hearing Miao Yuxiang's words, the Hu family members all showed joy.
Miao Yuxiang looked at the Hu family and said, "Take the betrothal money and other things back and give them to Aimin. Now that they have their own family and children, we, as parents, should support them instead of exploiting them."
When Hu's mother heard this, she stood up and said, "That won't work. Did I raise my daughter for nothing? You want to take her away without spending any money. That's impossible."
Miao Yuxiang sneered, "You are raising a daughter, not selling her. Even if you want to save money for breastfeeding, you won't save that much.
I have worked hard all my life to save money because I hope my son can live a good life in the future, not to relieve your worries. "
"My dear relative, what you said is ridiculous. My family is full of old and young people, and we still rely on Xuemei to support the family. It's unreasonable for you to say that. I'm giving you a laborer for free."
Mother Hu spoke in a strange voice, with the corners of her mouth almost reaching her ears.
"Since it doesn't make sense, then let's not talk about it. You can slowly rely on Xuemei to support the family. Lao Lu, let's go." Miao Yuxiang said nothing more and stood up to leave.
"If you don't leave, we will all lose our jobs. You must find someone to help us get our job back." Hu Lanxiu quickly stopped Miao Yuxiang.
Captain Lu pulled his wife aside and looked at the people in the room. "If you want to return to normal, just spit out what you shouldn't have taken, and then keep your mouth shut and live a good life.
Otherwise, leave Yun City. I don’t want to see you.”
After hearing what Lu 꿵 said, Mr. Hu and his men all stood up.
"What do you mean?"
"You all know what I mean. If you don't live a low-key life and do things under our name, then your work is honest and upright, right?" Miao Yuxiang raised her voice and looked at the Hu family.
"Dad, you want to chase us away." Lu Aimin understood what his father meant. He wanted him and the Hu family to leave.
"What else? If you continue to behave recklessly, people will say that my Lu family took a huge gift in order to marry a daughter-in-law, and that you did whatever it took to get a job. You have learned so much from books that it has become a dog's stomach." Captain Lu glared at Lu Aimin.
Upon hearing this, Hu Jinping could not help but take two steps back, lowering his head and not daring to look.
"My dear, do you have any misunderstanding? We have never said such a thing."
Mother Hu frowned. She had put the money in her own pocket, so why would she take it out and talk nonsense about it? She was afraid that her neighbors would ask her for money.
"Ask your good daughter if she has anything to say." Miao Yuxiang pointed at Hu Jinping who was hiding behind.
The Hu family members turned around and looked at Hu Jinping, who shook his head in fear.
"I didn't mean that. I didn't say that. I just said I wanted to marry a soldier who would provide me with good treatment."
Hu Jinping talked incoherently but refused to tell the truth.
Old Man Hu sat down on the chair and looked down at the ground.
"Okay, stop talking."
The Hu family looked at the old man, "Dad, are you okay?"
Grandpa Hu shook his hands to indicate that it was all right. "My dear, go home and take out the betrothal money and give it to Ai Min. Also, move all the things here. Since they are for the two children, it's not good to keep them with you all the time."
When Hu's mother heard this, she couldn't help but retort, "Dad..."
"Shut up and move it." Old Man Hu pointed at his daughter-in-law and said.
They couldn't keep the money, nor did they have the patience to hold on to it. If they kept the money and didn't return it, what would the dozens of people in the Hu family do?
After waiting for a while, the Hu family brought over the betrothal gifts and the three turns and one ring.
Miao Yuxiang took out five yuan and handed it to Lu Aimin.
"This is what I promised you at the beginning. From today on, we are separated. If you still dare to do whatever you want outside by relying on your relationship with your parents, you are no longer my son."
Miao Yuxiang's words startled Lu Aimin, "Mom, we didn't do anything. What are you trying to do? As long as my mother is alive, we won't split up the family. Are you asking others to break my spine?"
Lu Aimin couldn't believe that his mother said this.
"There's no point in saying more. Just reflect on yourself." Miao Yuxiang said coldly.
"My dear relatives, what about our work?" Hu 꿵 quickly asked about the affairs of the Hu family.
"We will no longer be involved in your work, but you are not allowed to do anything wrong under the banner of our family."
Lu 꿵 didn't want to kill them all, after all, her son didn't want to break up, and now they have a child.
After learning some lessons, I believe the Hu family will not cause any more trouble. As for starving to death, it is not a big deal.
Every family has land, so even if they lose their jobs, they can only live a tight life at best.
"Mom, we'll come to see you later." Hu Xuemei said cautiously. She was thinking about coaxing her parents-in-law, what would she do if she lost her job.
