Chapter 21: Don’t let Liang Qiaoli manage the money

When Lu Yongfu returned home, his family had already finished their meal, and there was food left for him on the table.

He ignored them and went straight to the box in the room to get the money.

However, he searched the entire box but couldn’t find the money.

Lu Yongfu angrily went to the kitchen and dragged Liang Qiaoli out who was washing the pot.

"Where is the money at home?"

"What are you looking for money for?"

"I am the head of the family. Do I need your consent to take the money?"

"If you don’t tell me clearly what the money is for, I won’t give it to you. It’s the money for my son to marry his wife."

Liang Qiaoli was afraid that the money would be taken away by Lu Yongfu again without her knowledge, so she had changed the place to put the money.

"Hurry up and take out the money, don't force me to slap you!"

Lu Yongfu was the boss at home. Liang Qiaoli was afraid that he would really take action, so she asked carefully: "What do you want the money for?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take the money!"

"If you lend it to others, I will not agree even if you kill me."

Seeing that Liang Qiaoli was unwilling to take the money, Lu Yongfu went into the room and searched again, but to no avail. He lifted up the bed, but still couldn't find the money.

Finally, Lu Yongfu picked up the pillow at the head of the bed. Seeing this, Liang Qiaoli tried to grab it.

Lu Yongfu guessed that the money must be hidden in the pillow.

Lu Mingqi and Lu Bailing heard the noise and saw their parents grabbing the pillow, so they came over to hold their father.

"Dad, you are not allowed to bully mom!" Lu Bailing was very angry when he saw

his father bullying mom. Lu Yongfu pushed Lu Bailing away who was pulling him.

Liang Qiaoli anxiously asked her son to grab the pillow.

But he was still a step late, Lu Yongfu had already taken out a cloth bag from the pillow.

Liang Qiaoli tried to grab it, but was kicked and fell to the ground.

The brother and sister were busy helping Liang Qiaoli, and Lu Yongfu took the opportunity to rush out.

The money was stolen, and Liang Qiaoli sat on the ground and cried loudly.

"Mingqi, go and get the money back!"

Lu Mingqi obeyed and chased out.

Liang Qiaoli thought about her eldest son's character and asked her daughter, "Where is your second brother?"

Lu Bailing said, "My second brother said he had something to do and went out."

...

Lu Mingqi caught up with Lu Yongfu and persuaded him to go home: "Dad, what are you going to do with the money? You can talk to mom. After all, it's all the money in the family. You took it all away. Mom will definitely be angry."

Lu Yongfu said angrily, "It's your mom who is too excessive. She eats all the food by herself. How will your grandma think of our family? How can I hold my head up in the village in the future?"

"It's just a can of food. If Dad wants to be filial to grandma, why not buy a bottle and send it over?"

"I just want to buy cans for your grandma now. What do you want to do by following me? Do you want to be an unfilial son like Mingfeng, that bastard?"

"Dad, if you want to buy some canned food, just tell me clearly. Mom won't object. But you don't have to take all the money in the house."

"I'm the head of the family. I can spend the money however I want. If you meddle in other people's business, don't expect me to pay a penny for your marriage in the future."

These words made Lu Mingqi feel helpless. After all, he was just buying canned food and would not spend all the money, so Lu Mingqi went home.

He went back and told Liang Qiaoli what he had said, and comforted her: "Dad is just angry that he didn't give grandma the canned pears today. If you buy canned pears for grandma, Dad will be less angry, and then the money will naturally be kept by mom."

Liang Qiaoli said angrily: "That's the money for you to marry a wife. If you can't get it back, don't blame me if you can't marry a wife!"

Lu Mingqi said: "Dad is just going to buy a can of food, it doesn't cost much."

Liang Qiaoli saw her eldest son's attitude and didn't want to pay attention to him. If it was Mingfeng, he would definitely be able to get the money back.

...

Lu Mingfeng returned home and found that the atmosphere at home was very strange. His mother was lying on the bed, and his sister was watching beside him with a worried look on her face. His father was not at home, but his eldest brother was like nothing had happened.

He looked at Lu Bailing.

Lu Bailing motioned him to go to his room.

After closing the door, he said to Lu Mingfeng, "Dad took all the money from home and bought two cans of canned food for grandma."

"He bought it."

"The key point is that after Dad came back, he didn't give the money to Mom. Mom was so angry that she wanted to go back to grandma's house, but Dad didn't mean to stop her. He even told Mom not to come back after she left. My eldest brother and I brought Mom back."

"Did Dad want to lend the money to my eldest uncle's family again?"

"No, he just said that he would be in charge of the family's money in the future."

"The money was not earned by him alone, Mom also had a share."

"Mom said so, but Dad said that Mom didn't work hard enough and the money she earned was not enough for food, so she didn't get any share. Mom said that there was still a share for us, and Dad said that he would pay for it after you got married."

Lu Mingfeng was silent for a moment, walked out of the room, and came to Liang Qiaoli's bedside.

"Mom, since he wants to manage the money, let him manage it. From now on, we will collect the work points we earn ourselves and not put them together with his."

Lu Bailing nodded.

Lu Mingqi said, "This is not good, how can a family collect separately?"

Liang Qiaoli sat up and said, "Since you are on your side, then live with your father in the future, and the three of us will live together."

As she said that, she moved her things into her daughter's room.

...

When Lu Yongfu came back, it was already dinner time, but the family hadn't cooked yet, and his wife was not in the room.

Asked Lu Mingqi.

Lu Mingqi went to the kitchen and said, "Dad, I'll cook right away."

"Why are you a grown man cooking? Ask Bailing to cook!"

Lu Mingqi whispered, "Bailing has eaten."

"You still have to cook after you've eaten. If you want to stay in this family, be obedient."

Lu Bailing came out and said, "Dad, I won't cook for you. Since you don't acknowledge mom's contribution to this family, don't expect us to cook for you or wash your clothes in the future."

"This is outrageous." Lu Yongfu raised his hand to hit Lu Bailing, but someone grabbed his arm.

Seeing that it was Lu Mingfeng, Lu Yongfu said angrily: "What, you still want to hit your father? If you dare to touch me, don't expect me to pay a penny for your wife in the future."

Lu Mingfeng snorted lightly: "I'm not the eldest brother, you can't scare me. In the future, I will live with my mother and Bailing, and you won't spend a penny."

"Hey, what's wrong?" Liu Xiaocui came over from outside.

Both father and son ignored her.

Lu Mingqi explained the situation to Liu Xiaocui.

Liu Xiaocui said, "I don't think it's a big deal. A couple quarrels at the head of the bed but makes up at the foot of the bed. I'll go and persuade my third brother's wife." Liu

Xiaocui was about to go to Lu Bailing's room, but was stopped by Lu Bailing: "Second aunt, my mother is in a bad mood, don't go in and disturb her."

"You kid, I'm helping your family."

Lu Mingfeng came over, looked at Liu Xiaocui coldly and said, "Second aunt, just take care of your own family's business and don't interfere in other people's affairs."

Lu Yongfu accused: "How do you talk to your elders!"

Lu Mingfeng said contemptuously: "Because I have no manners, okay."

Lu Yongfu was about to get angry, and Liu Xiaocui was worried that the father and son would fight, and she would be implicated.

Lu Mingfeng even beat women, so he left quickly.
