Ai Xiaoxia was a little glad that she came at this moment, otherwise the original owner would have destroyed the Lu family.
The two didn't talk much on the way, because the sudden change made them both at a loss for words.
Fortunately, Dawa Village is not far from the township, and it only takes about twenty minutes to get there by bike.
When we entered the village, it was quite lively and there were quite a few people. It was summer vacation, so there were many children playing and fighting on the streets.
Their Shiqiao Township is a place with well-developed transportation. It is only half an hour's drive from Lingyuan City where Lu Jingshen works. Since the town market started two years ago, many families have started small businesses, so their lives have become more and more affluent, and people on the street are well dressed.
After a while, they arrived at the gate of Lu Jingshen's house. Their family was the northernmost household in the village. Because the area was large and there were few people living there, Lu Jingshen's yard was very spacious.
There are also three tiled houses on the front, which is a common house type in rural areas in the north. The kitchen is at the entrance, with a stove on the east and west sides, connected to the large kangs in the east and west bedrooms, which helps with heating in winter.
This house is quite old. There is a small wing on the east side and a cowshed on the west side. There are no cows in the cowshed, but there are some piles of wood and a pigpen next to it.
The yard is neat and clean, and the big red wedding characters on the doors and windows are very eye-catching, reminding that the family has just held a wedding.
At this time, Lu Jingshen's mother, Li Shaofen, was squatting under the window chopping pig food. She was less than fifty years old, but her hair was already gray, and she looked ten years older than her actual age.
Seeing my son and daughter-in-law come back at this time, my heart sank, knowing that something must have happened.
She quickly stood up and walked towards the door while wiping her hands on her apron: "Why are you back so early?"
Lu Jingshen said to Li Shaofen, "Mom, let's go inside and talk." Then he parked his bicycle in the yard.
Ai Xiaoxia was also a little panicked when facing her mother-in-law. She had never had a boyfriend in her previous life, but now she even had a mother-in-law. The gap was a bit big.
But she also prepared herself mentally along the way. Now this is the fact. She has to accept it without pretending to be crazy. After all, this is her life from now on, and she has to live it well.
So Ai Xiaoxia calmed herself down and comforted Li Shaofen, "Mom, don't worry, it's not a big deal." In her impression, this mother-in-law was really nice.
Li Shaofen looked at Ai Xiaoxia and always felt that this daughter-in-law was different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different. It was not just her appearance, but also the feeling.
But she was afraid of Ai Xiaoxia. This daughter-in-law was too noisy. She had been throwing tantrums and being rude since the wedding day. She always talked about money. She even asked her to spend all the money in the family. Now Li Shaofen was afraid that she would mention the money again because there was really no money left.
Father-in-law Lu Guojiu bent over and got off the kang, put on his shoes, coughed twice, and came to the door to greet him: "What happened? Why are you back so late?"
Lu Jingshen didn't know what to say for a moment, because Ai Xiaoxia had changed so much today that he really didn't know how to say it more appropriately.
Ai Xiaoxia also knew that Lu Jingshen was in a difficult position to speak up about this, so she said to the two elders, "Mom and Dad, I was ignorant before and I always cared about my parents' family. But today, when I returned to my parents' home, my parents' attitude also made me understand a lot. I promise you, I won't make trouble again in the future, don't worry."
As she spoke, she took out the three hundred yuan and placed it on the edge of the kang: "I shouldn't have taken this money in the first place. Mom and Dad, please keep it."
Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen were both stunned. They had been traumatized by Ai Xiaoxia's actions during this period, so when they saw the money, they were not happy but nervous. They were afraid that Ai Xiaoxia would come up with some new tricks. A few days ago, she cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide. Now she suddenly did this, and they were even more scared.
Seeing the nervous and frightened expressions of the two elders, Ai Xiaoxia was full of self-blame. Although it was not her soul before, it was this body that did it after all. Even if she had not figured out what to do in the future, she had to at least let the two elders not live in fear.
She smiled and put the money in Li Shaofen's hand: "Mom, nothing I say now is convincing, so let's see how I perform later."
Because she will not leave here for the time being. This is her current identity, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. As for how to get along with Lu Jingshen, she will discuss it with Lu Jingshen after she has thought about it. After all, it is impossible to have a wedding night directly. Marriage should still be based on love. She can't have sex with him so easily.
Seeing his parents' disbelief, Lu Jingshen understood. After all, Ai Xiaoxia had almost sold the house to her parents' family.
He said to Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen, "Mom and Dad, life is a journey of experience. Xiaoxia just got married, and we need to get to know each other and get used to each other. Everything takes time, right?"
Lu Guojiu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Jing Shen is right, we are all family, slowly running in, and things will get better and better in the future."
At this time, Lu Jingshen's younger brother Lu Jingyuan came back and saw Ai Xiaoxia in the room. He glared at Ai Xiaoxia, said nothing, and went out again.
Lu Guojiu scolded Lu Jingyuan from behind: "This kid, why is he so unruly?"
After hearing what his father said, Lu Jingyuan didn't look back and walked out of the yard angrily.
Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia, feeling helpless. He could only say to her, "Don't take it to heart. I will have a good talk with Jingyuan about his matter."
Ai Xiaoxia understood why Lu Jingyuan disliked her. Lu Jingyuan was a good student, but he failed the high school entrance examination twice by two points. He had planned to try again, but Ai Xiaoxia took away all the money he had prepared for repeating the exam and said that she would not let him study in the future, so Lu Jingyuan was angry.
She said to Lu Jingshen, "Jingyuan's problem is my fault. Now that I have the money back, it's enough for Jingyuan to repeat his studies. Let him try again. Don't let all these years of hard work go to waste."
Hearing Ai Xiaoxia say this, the family looked at her in surprise, because Ai Xiaoxia had previously said that Lu Jingyuan's schooling was too expensive. Not only would he have to pay for repeating a grade, but wouldn't he also need money for high school and college in the future? He didn't want to continue supporting his brother-in-law's education. After all, the family now relied on Lu Jingshen's salary to make ends meet, so she said she would not let Lu Jingyuan repeat a grade.
This was really unexpected to everyone, and they really couldn't understand why Ai Xiaoxia had such a big change.
Lu Jingshen had sensed a change in Ai Xiaoxia the moment he saw her kick Ai Laifu. Her transformation was so profound that even Lu Jingshen, a calm and composed man, was bewildered. How could someone change so drastically in such a short moment? It felt like a completely different person, yet this person was clearly Ai Xiaoxia.
Lu Jingshen had his own plan before. Three months later, the unit’s family housing would be allocated. At that time, he would take Ai Xiaoxia with him, keep her away from the Ai family’s gossip, and slowly change her mind. No matter what Ai Xiaoxia was like, she was his legally married wife, and he would be responsible for her for the rest of his life. No matter how many difficulties there were, there would always be a way to overcome them.
But who would have thought that Ai Xiaoxia would suddenly change, becoming exactly the person he wanted. This made Lu Jingshen excited and worried, fearing that it was just an illusion. But when he met Ai Xiaoxia's eyes now, he was very sure that this should be true.
