Chapter 338 Lu Yongsheng and his family return home
After Zhao Meili was discharged from the hospital, she asked someone to move things to the rental house.
Lu Mingxuan's family had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
Li Chunmei stepped forward to support Zhao Meili: "It's just a little conflict, why do you want to run away from home? I'll buy you a chicken to stew soup, nourish your body, and when you recover, you can still have children."
Thinking that she would never be able to have children again after this miscarriage, Zhao Meili pushed Li Chunmei away angrily: "Get out of here!"
Seeing Zhao Meili treat his wife so rudely, Lu Yongsheng's face darkened and he glanced at Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Mingxuan came over and said, "How can you talk to mother like this? Apologize to mother!"
Zhao Meili suppressed her resentment and said, "Anyway, we didn't get the marriage certificate, so we can save the divorce procedure. From now on, you and I will go our separate ways!"
If they divorced, she would have no one to rely on in Beijing. Lu Mingxuan didn't care about the man's face and swore to Zhao Meili that he would listen to her in the future.
Lu Yongsheng felt very uncomfortable when he saw his son begging Zhao Meili in a low voice, but his family took the blame for this matter and said, "If she wants to be alone for a while, let her go. When she calms down, we will take her back."
Zhao Meili snorted coldly and ignored them.
After packing up her things, she went out. Lu Mingxuan wanted to follow her to see where Zhao Meili moved to.
Zhao Meili did not stop her.
When they were halfway there, two strong men suddenly rushed over and knocked Lu Mingxuan down.
The movers stopped to separate them, but Zhao Meili said, "I'll give you two more dollars. I have something to do. Don't waste my time."
With money to be paid, the workers would not bother with other matters.
Just like that, Zhao Meili felt a little better after hearing Lu Mingxuan's screams.
...
Liang Qiaoli received another call from Lu Yongsheng. She didn't want to listen to a word and directly handed the phone to Lu Yongfu.
Lu Yongfu took the phone and listened to his elder brother scolding Zhao Meili reluctantly.
"Brother, your family got rid of the baby in someone's belly, so it's understandable that you beat Mingxuan to vent your anger. You feel sorry for your son, but don't they feel sorry for the baby in the belly?"
Lu Yongfu knew what happened and was very disgusted with his brother's family.
My brother and his wife are not even sixty years old. They could farm in their hometown, but they did nothing in Beijing. The family relied on Zhao Meili for support, and Mingxuan stole other people's money without permission.
The whole family is useless.
While calling him and saying bad things about Zhao Meili, he also asked him to persuade Zhao Meili to come back.
He said that Zhao Meili had moved to an unknown place, and the clothing store was no longer open, and now she couldn't be found.
"You don't even know where she went, who should I talk to?"
Lu Yongfu hung up the phone angrily.
Shen Jiale asked, "Isn't uncle asking for anything excessive?"
"He asked Mingfeng to help find someone. Mingfeng has so many important things to do all day long, how can he have time to deal with his family's problems!"
...
Lu Mingxuan was beaten black and blue, and he didn't go to work for several days. When he went back to work, he had already resigned.
Originally, Lu Mingxuan's salary was not enough for the whole family. Usually, Zhao Meili helped a little, so they could still make ends meet.
Now, he has lost his job, Zhao Meili is missing, Lu Yongfu refused to help, and they still can't find Lu Yongfu's residence.
The money from the clothing store was almost gone, and the landlord came to ask for the rent.
The family was about to starve.
Lu Yongsheng had considered returning to his hometown, at least there was food to eat and he would not be hungry.
Lu Mingxuan had seen the prosperity of the big city and was unwilling to go back. Looking at his son who was doing his homework, he suddenly thought of Tian Liping.
Tian Liping could live with her daughter in Beijing and had a certain income.
The key was to be able to endure hardships and work.
So, the family came together to persuade Tian Liping to remarry so that they could stay in Beijing.
When they arrived at Tian Liping's residence, they were dumbfounded.
The landlord told them that Tian Liping had moved out.
Since no one in the family had paid attention to Lu Xiaoting, they didn't know which high school Lu Xiaoting had been admitted to.
Finally, there was no choice but to call Lu Mingfeng's family.
...
In the past few days, their family kept calling, and Liang Qiaoli and Lu Yongfu ran out when they heard the phone ringing.
Shen Jiale answered the phone.
When he heard Lu Yongsheng asking about Tian Liping's address, Shen Jiale said he didn't know.
"You must know where Xiaoting goes to school, right?"
"You, as a grandfather, don't know, so how can I know?"
"Where's my third brother?"
"He's not here, and he doesn't have time to answer the phone."
Seeing that Shen Jiale was not willing to give in, Lu Yongsheng took a step back: "We plan to go back to our hometown, but Xiaotian is already studying in Beijing, and I want him to stay in Beijing."
"Our family doesn't raise children for other people." Shen Jiale guessed what Lu Yongsheng wanted to say.
Being interrupted by Shen Jiale, Lu Yongsheng had no choice but to say: "You misunderstood. I am not asking Xiaotian to live in your house. I want to ask you to hand Xiaotian over to Liping."
"First of all, I don't know where Liping's sister-in-law lives. Secondly, even if I find her, why would she take Xiaotian in? He is not her child." "
Xiaotian has called Liping mother for more than ten years. For the sake of the mother-son relationship, Liping will stay."
Shen Jiale laughed: "Let the divorced ex-wife help raise the child born by the ex-husband and another woman. Your family knows how to rub salt into the wound.
If I were Liping's sister-in-law, you would keep the child and I would send him to an orphanage."
"You..." Lu Yongsheng was so angry at Shen Jiale that he could not speak and could only hang up the phone.
...
Seeing Shen Jiale hang up the phone, Lu Yongfu and Liang Qiaoli came out from behind the door.
They all heard what Shen Jiale said. Liang Qiaoli said, "We can't leave Xiaotian at our house. He will bring bad luck to Chang Jun and Chang Jie."
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "They just don't want their grandson to suffer."
"Zhao Meili was very quick. She sold the shop before she even finished her confinement. She ran away after getting divorced and even refused to take the money that Mingxuan took from her."
"If she doesn't run away quickly, she will be cheated for the rest of her life. She is a businesswoman and knows how to make choices. It's not worth it for her to stay and get entangled with them just for that little money. The wisest choice is to leave quickly and far away."
...
Li Chunmei and Lu Yongsheng went out to work part-time for a day and came back exhausted.
"His father, let's go back to our hometown. Everything in the big city costs money and things are very expensive."
Lu Yongsheng squatted at the wall and didn't say a word.
Li Chunmei took out two vegetable buns from her arms for her grandson to eat.
Lu Mingxuan also came back.
Li Chunmei asked him if he had found a job.
Lu Mingxuan lay down on the bed without saying a word.
Lu Yongsheng stood up and said to Lu Mingxuan: "Don't be picky about jobs. Find a temporary job and save enough money for the fare. Then we will go back to our hometown."
Li Chunmei felt sorry for her son: "Dad, it's the end of the year and it's hard to find a job. If we can't save enough money for the fare, we will have to spend the New Year in Beijing. We won't have anything. Please call your third brother and borrow some money to go back."
...
Lu Yongfu heard that his eldest brother and his family were going back, so he came over.
He didn't lend them money directly, but bought their train tickets back.
When sending the four people to the train, Lu Yongfu bought some boiled eggs at the station and asked them to take them with them.
After sitting down, Li Chunmei looked at the dozen eggs in the paper bag and said, "We are leaving Beijing. He gave us eggs. Does he want us to get out of here?"
The passenger next to him said, "Your relatives bought eggs for you because they are afraid that you will be hungry on the way. If you think it is a bad omen, give it to me. I don't mind."
Lu Yongsheng rolled his eyes at his wife, then looked at his son leaning against the seat and dozing off, and sighed deeply.
As the train started, Lu Yongsheng's family's trip to Beijing ended.
