Chapter 392 The Abacus Beads Are Clinking
Lu Xiaoting did not take Lu Xiaotian to Beijing. There were three elderly men and a 4-year-old child at home.
Without a woman, there was no one to cook, so Lu Mingxuan had to cook for himself.
The children did not want to eat the food he cooked.
Lu Yongsheng ate the salty food and said to Lu Mingxuan: "Take that woman back to live with you."
Lu Mingxuan said: "She wants 2,000 yuan as a betrothal gift."
Lu Xiaotian slapped his chopsticks and said: "An old woman actually wants a betrothal gift. With this money, you might as well marry me another one."
Lu Yongsheng sighed and said: "Go to the Li family and bring your wife back."
Lu Xiaotian was unhappy: "Grandpa, didn't you say that you wanted me to go to Beijing and find a wife in the city?"
"Of course Grandpa wants you to go to Beijing, but your sister doesn't want to take you there."
"I have legs, I can go by myself. They can make a lot of money in Beijing, I don't believe I can't."
"It's not like we haven't been to Beijing before. It's not easy to make money without anyone to take care of us."
The third grandfather's family is in Beijing and he is unwilling to help them. The same goes for his own sister. Lu Xiao is always affected by the weather.
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren complained about these people together.
...
Lu Yongsheng wandered on the road in the village. After thinking about it, he went to Lu Yongfu's house.
Lu Yongfu heard his elder brother asking him to help bring Li Xiaoju back.
He just said that he was too tired these days and couldn't walk.
Lu Yongsheng said, "I asked Xiaotian to take you there on his bike. At that time, everyone in the family was very sad, so it was inevitable that they spoke a little aggressively.
The child is still young and can't leave his mother. You are the most prestigious elder in the village. If you go to pick up the child, the Li family will definitely give you face."
Lu Yongfu said, "Xiaotian beat his wife in front of so many people. If you really want to take her back, go to the Li family and apologize sincerely. If his wife is willing to come back for the sake of the child, you can live a good life in the future."
Seeing that Lu Yongfu was unwilling to go, Lu Yongsheng had to go back. He and Lu Xiaotian took the child to the Li family.
Of course, the Li family would not forgive easily, and Li Xiaoju was determined to divorce.
When they got married, they were not old enough, and they did not get a marriage certificate, so they did not need to go through the divorce procedures.
Lu Yongsheng used the child as an excuse, deliberately pinching the child, causing the child to cry and call for his mother. Li Xiaoju felt distressed and tried to grab the child.
She said that if the Lu family did not want the child, she would raise the child herself.
When Lu Yongsheng heard this, he quickly hugged the child tightly. He could find another granddaughter-in-law, but the great-grandson was the child of their Lu family and could not be given to the Li family.
... After
failing to bring the child back, Lu Yongsheng went to find Lu Yongfu again.
In order to succeed in one go, he also asked the village chief to go with him.
Even if more people went, no matter how good the words were, and Lu Xiaotian repeatedly promised that he would not hit anyone in the future, Li Xiaoju was unwilling to come back.
Li Xiaoju thought it through very clearly.
The Lu family now had no woman. If she went back, she would have to take care of four generations of people, with endless clothes to wash, endless meals to cook, and endless work to do every day.
Father-in-law is still the same person.
If Lu Xiaotian is a hardworking person, the three of them can live alone, and the two of them can work hard together, and there is still hope for the future.
But Lu Xiaotian has been spoiled since he was a child. He is not good at studying, just like his father. When he was asked to find a job, he complained about everything and occasionally did odd jobs, earning little money.
Li Xiaoju had long been unwilling to live a hopeless life that she could see the end of. It happened that Lu Xiaotian beat her at Li Chunmei's funeral, so she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to get away.
...
Unable to bring the person back, Lu Yongsheng sat in Lu Yongfu's house.
Lu Yongfu said, "Brother, I followed you to the Li family, but they didn't want to come back. You just sit there, and I can't do anything."
Lu Yongsheng smacked his lips, took two puffs of cigarette, and said, "I heard that Liping has never remarried. Without a woman, the family doesn't feel like home, and no one is taking care of the children. When you go back, persuade Liping to remarry Mingxuan."
Liang Qiaoli couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She felt embarrassed and hurried out of the door.
She came back after Lu Yongsheng left.
Liang Qiaoli asked, "Have you agreed to it?"
Lu Yongfu said, "I can only agree first, otherwise my brother will stay at home all the time and there is no guarantee that it will succeed."
Liang Qiaoli said, "Liping has finally made it through life, and Xiaoting is married and has children. How could she be willing to remarry and serve their whole family?
I heard from the villagers that Mingxuan has always had women, so why did he set his sights on Liping?"
"They say that none of those women are sincere in their lives. They just eat and drink for free and run away when they can't get any advantage."
Liang Qiaoli laughed and said, "With his family's conditions, what advantage can he get? I guess they found out the real situation of his family, it would be strange if they didn't run away.
Nowadays, the betrothal gifts for second marriages are not small, but he just doesn't want to spend money.
Your eldest brother is really calculating. Isn't it because he sees that Liping has made money in Beijing and her life is better? If he remarries Mingxuan, Not only does it not cost money, but you can also take Xiaotian and the children over, and take him over to enjoy life.
You said he has been scheming all his life, and his children are just like him. One foot has stepped into the coffin, but he is still thinking about scheming others.
It is better to use your mind on the right path, urge your sons and grandchildren to make progress, and find a class to attend, rather than thinking about other people's things all day long. "
Lu Yongfu said: "Anyway, we will go back tomorrow morning. No matter what he thinks, I can't control it."
...
The Lu family returned to Jingshi, and before Lu Yongfu went to tell Tian Liping, Tian Liping came by herself.
Tian Liping heard from her daughter about the cause of death of her ex-mother-in-law and the incident of Lu Xiaotian beating his wife.
Over the years, Tian Liping has long let go of past grievances and talked about these things from an outsider's perspective.
"Auntie, I came here to discuss something with you. Someone introduced me to a man who is about my age and a widower. He has a son who is married and a grandson who is in school. He is a small supervisor in the company.
This man has been to my store and eaten buns several times. He has a good appearance and personality.
But I didn't want to remarry. I just wanted to help Xiaoting raise the child, so I rejected it.
Xiaoting came back yesterday and said that the son of this family found her and said that he had already started a family and saw that his father was lonely, so he wanted to find a companion for his father to live with. He asked me to think about it again.
Xiaoting said that this man has good conditions and you can try to get along with him. "
Liang Qiaoli paused and said, "We also planned to find you to tell you something when we came back this time. The eldest brother asked us to persuade you to remarry Mingxuan." Tian Liping
was stunned for a moment: "No wonder Xiaoting also persuaded me to find someone. It turns out that she knew that their family was going to take advantage of me."
Liang Qiaoli also said, "Xiaoting is right. You can try to get along with each other. The children all agree. If the two of you really get along well, remarriage is not impossible. "
Tian Liping thought for a moment, and said to Liang Qiaoli solemnly: "Aunt, please call my hometown and tell them that I'm remarried."
