Chapter 209: New Year's Eve won't delay beating you
Seeing this, Ai Weimin quickly got on the kang and pulled them apart. Meng Qiuju also ran in from the kitchen, got on the kang, and together with her husband pulled the two brothers apart.
Amidst the lights and firecrackers of thousands of houses on New Year's Eve, the Ai family started to cry and make a noise.
Meng Qiuju talked about her suffering and her unwillingness. Why did God treat her like this? Why did the family she worked so hard to build become like this?
Ai Weimin didn't understand either. How could things change so suddenly when everything was fine before? As the head of the family, he was upset every day. He was unwilling to accept this and vented his anger by cursing.
Ai Laibao felt even more aggrieved that his wife had passed away. What would he do if he were to be single for the rest of his life?
Ai Lai Fu and Guangming Yue had already returned to the house. Ai Lai Fu was so scared after his vitals were kicked that he hurried back to the house to check.
Ai Zhu looked at their mess and walked out directly. She really looked down upon this family's low status. Anyway, this family didn't belong to her. She would just make do with it for the next year and then leave.
Ai Xiaoping is smart now and hides whenever possible. She believes what Ai Xiaoxia said, that she will pick her up later, so she just needs to protect herself for the time being.
The next day, which was also the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ai Xiaoxia, Lu Jingshen and Lu Jingyuan greeted their neighbors early in the morning, and then they went home and waited to visit their uncle Lu Guoji's house.
Because Wang Jinfeng and her family are returning home today, we have to go and pay New Year’s greetings.
Judging from what Lu Jingxin said on the phone, they would come and go on the same day, so they would probably arrive in the morning. After all, that was Lu Guojiu's biological mother and Lu Jingshen's biological grandmother, so it was impossible for him not to see her.
Although Lu Guojiu had not lived well before, he had never missed the amount of filial piety money he gave to Wang Jinfeng every year. He gave the same amount as Lu Guoji, one hundred yuan a year in the past two years, not much, but he would give it during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Guojiu has also prepared this year's pension money and put it in his pocket to take with him later.
After a while, Zhang Tingting came and informed Lu Guojiu and others that Grandma Wang Jinfeng had arrived and asked Lu Guojiu and others to come over.
After Zhang Tingting came into the house and told Lu Guojiu about this, he just said, "I know." The rest of the family ignored her. After the incident with Lu Lin's child, no one treated Zhang Tingting as a human being. Of course, no one expected her to come today.
Zhang Tingting was a little embarrassed, but she had come here for a purpose. At this time, she said to Ai Xiaoxia, "Do you have anything sour at home? I've been craving something sour these days."
Ai Xiaoxia was confused by the question. She ignored her, but she was still looking for trouble. However, it was New Year's Day, so she decided not to fight if she could. So she said, "No."
Zhang Tingting was depressed. She wanted to tell Ai Xiaoxia that she was pregnant, but it was not good to say it directly. She always had to find a reason to say it, show off, and annoy Ai Xiaoxia.
She thought about it and said, "Xiaoxia isn't pregnant yet, right? No wonder you don't understand this."
Ai Xiaoxia didn't treat Zhang Tingting as a human being at all, and didn't even want to talk to her seriously. She just said, "It's okay, why don't you leave? We'll drive over later, but there won't be room for you."
Zhang Tingting was so angry at Ai Xiaoxia that her liver hurt: "Ai Xiaoxia, what do you mean?"
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "You don't understand? Are you deaf?"
Zhang Tingting pointed at Ai Xiaoxia and said, "What's your attitude? Aren't you just running a small business in the city? Look how cocky you are! If someone didn't know you, they'd think you were running a big hotel."
Ai Xiaoxia chuckled: "I really do run a big hotel. Alright, don't talk to me, you frog in the well. We are not on the same level. Get out of here now, or I won't miss you before the New Year."
This sentence still scared Zhang Tingting. She was really afraid that Ai Xiaoxia would hit her, because Ai Xiaoxia really wanted to hit her. She quickly ran out the door.
Watching Zhang Tingting run away, Lu Jingyuan gave Ai Xiaoxia a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law, you are awesome."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
Lu Jingshen also laughed: "People like Zhang Tingting really have to be treated like this."
Lu Guojiu said, "Let's go to your uncle's place too. After all, your grandmother is here, so we can't not go."
Everyone in their family was wearing new clothes today. Ai Xiaoxia bought her parents-in-law a large cotton-padded jacket of the style that was popular in the city. It was the first year after Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen's marriage. In addition to the new clothes, each of them also tied a large red scarf. Ai Xiaoxia also wore a red hat, which was very festive.
The family went out and got in the car, which happened to be heading to Uncle Lu Guoji's house.
Lu Guojiu is different now. He said that apart from the annual pension for the elderly, he would not care about anything else, and he would not listen to what Wang Jinfeng said. He now has a bottom line.
Although their car was not driving fast, it still overtook Zhang Tingting. Lu Jingshen passed by Zhang Tingting and honked his horn, which made Zhang Tingting so angry that she wanted to kick their car, but she got nothing except a nose full of gasoline smell.
Ai Xiaoxia and the others didn't bring anything with them when they came here, so there was no need for them to come with Lu Guoji and his family.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lu Jingxin ran out: "Happy New Year to my uncle and aunt, and happy New Year to my brother and sister-in-law."
Lu Guojiu looked at Lu Jingxin with a smile: "This child has really grown up and is doing well."
Li Shaofen also said: "That's right, this child has really become a talented person."
When Jiang Zhi heard Ai Xiaoxia and the others coming, she also came out and wished Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen a happy New Year to her second brother and sister-in-law.
Ai Xiaoxia, Lu Jingshen and Lu Jingyuan all wished Jiang Zhi a happy new year.
Lu Guoji came out and welcomed them in. It was New Year's Day, so this guy had to look presentable.
They went into the house while chatting and wishing each other a happy new year. It was New Year's Day and no one was looking for trouble, so Ai Xiaoxia and the others were naturally happy. Anyway, their family was harmonious now, they had money and free time, so there was no need to chat with unnecessary people.
At this time, Wang Jinfeng was still sitting on the kang, dressed quite fashionably. When she came back, she didn't hear her eldest son Lu Guoji say anything about her youngest son Lu Guosheng. She knew that the news of Lu Guosheng losing his job had not spread in the village, so she felt relieved.
Now Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen can earn their own money and stand up straighter. They are different from before. After entering the house and greeting Wang Jinfeng, they directly found a place to sit down.
After Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen paid their New Year's greetings, they also sat down next to their parents.
The two little brothers Lu Jingyuan and Lu Jingxin were standing under the north window and whispering to each other. The two children hadn't seen each other for a while, but when they were young they could play together, so they had a common language when they met now.
After everyone sat down, Wang Jinfeng began to speak: "Your father passed away early, and a lot of things in the family have to be taken care of by an old lady like me. It's not easy. I'm old now and I won't live for many more years. You brothers have to help each other in the future."
Ai Xiaoxia could hear the hidden meaning in Wang Jinfeng's words. She was trying to use filial piety and family affection to make her family help Lu Guoji and Lu Guosheng. How could this be possible? Of course, she was not worried. Her father-in-law was not the same as before. Under her influence, he had his own ideas and bottom line. He would not easily compromise with Wang Jinfeng.
