Chapter 521 Moved
It's quite lively here in Shiqiao Township today. Two yangko troupes came to my house. They locked the door yesterday morning, so the yangko troupes didn't come in. Today, there are people at home, so the yangko troupes came early in the morning. After all, they are a wealthy family, and they are guaranteed to give a lot of money.
Originally, Lu Guojiu had prepared red envelopes for those who performed the yangge, one hundred yuan each, and ten yuan each for those who celebrated marriages or sent the God of Wealth. All the red envelopes were ready, so he could just give them to them directly.
The yangko troupe has arrived, and it's time to set off firecrackers. Lu Jingyuan and Li Wensong are in charge of this task, so no one else has to worry about it. They have been waiting at the door early in the morning with two thousand firecrackers on bamboo poles.
Lin Xiaoxia was afraid of firecrackers, so she stood inside the house and looked outside.
She waited until the yangko troupe came in and the firecrackers were all set off before she went out to watch.
It was lively at their house, but at this time Lu Guoji's house was gloomy.
Lu Guoji looked at Jiang Lirong who was half leaning against the wall: "I really didn't expect you to be so cruel. You actually want to kill someone?"
Jiang Lirong said calmly, "I don't want to kill anyone, I want to die with her. I don't want to live anymore."
Lu Guoji watched Jiang Lirong suffer every day and could understand her desire to die, but he never thought she would want to kill someone. "I don't need you to worry about me, but have you ever thought about me and Jingxue? Jingxue has a murderer's mother. Will he be able to live in this place? How will others see him?"
Listening to Lu Guoji talking about his son, Jiang Lirong was still a little moved: "If I die, Jingxue will not have to stay in this village, he can go to the city. Look at how promising Jingxin is now with Jingshen. If I die, Jingxue will also be promising in the city."
Lu Guoji then asked Jiang Lirong, "Jingxue will have a shadow in his heart for the rest of his life. His own mother killed his own grandmother. Will he be happy? What about me? My wife killed my mother. Will you let me live?"
Jiang Lirong stopped talking. She hadn't thought so much about it before. In fact, she still loved her son and felt indebted to her husband. She still hoped that her husband and son would be well.
This year her heart has undergone many changes. She used to have some desire to survive and wanted to live, but now that she can be pushed out in a wheelchair and hear other people's gossip, she feels very uncomfortable and doesn't want to live anymore.
Lu Jingxue also stood beside Lu Guoji and said to Jiang Lirong, "Mom, can you please stop making trouble? As long as you are alive, I still have a mother. If you die, I will be a motherless child."
This sentence completely broke Jiang Lirong's defenses. She couldn't help but burst into tears, and her tears were filled with regret. But she also knew that her regret was useless. She had lost her husband's heart, and from now on she would only live to have a mother for her son.
Today, in addition to the depressing atmosphere in Lu Guoji's house, there was also unrest in Sun Qiang's house because Wu Xiuyun discovered that the private money in her passbook was gone.
She asked Sun Jian and found out that it was taken away by her nephew. Sun Jian happened to bump into them at that time. His nephew said that Wu Xiuyun asked him to take it and took the seal as well. It happened that Wu Xiuyun's ID card was with her brother when they did something there before. How could she have imagined that they took away all her money, a full 100,000 yuan, which was the money Wu Xiuyun had left in her hands after so many years of trouble.
This time she did not hide it from Sun Shengqi, but told Sun Shengqi and asked Sun Shengqi to help her get it back, because Wu Xiuyun had now fallen out with her family.
Sun Shengqi was so angry that he laughed after hearing this, because Wu Xiuyun trusted her family so much, but she didn't trust herself at all.
It is not easy to recover this money through normal means, so we can only take a shortcut.
Of course, it’s just right to settle the previous accounts together.
Wu Xiuyun finally understood who was far away and who was close. This time, she promised Sun Shengqi that she would live an honest and down-to-earth life in the future.
Although Sun Qiang didn't believe it, because of his relationship with Sun Shengqi, he could still get along with Wu Xiuyun and Sun Jian on the surface.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Jingshen came back to pick up Lin Xiaoxia and went back to the city together. Today was the day when Lin Xiaoxia returned to her parents' home, so naturally she received all the courtesies.
Originally, Li Shaofen also said that she wanted to come to the city together to see Wang Jinfeng, but Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen did not let her come, saying that it was New Year's Day, and there would be many guests coming and going in such a big house, and there were already many business orders in the past few days. Anyway, Wang Jinfeng's condition was not serious, and Lu Guojiu could just stay in the hospital, so there was no need for both of them to be there, so Li Shaofen did not come.
When Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen arrived at her parents' home, there were only Lin Jianye, Huang Wanxia and Lin Mei at home, preparing lunch, because Lin Xiao and Lin Rui also accompanied their wives back to their parents' home today.
They first greeted each other when they entered the house, and then Lin Jianye and Huang Wanxia gave red envelopes to the couple. In their eyes, they were their children. Even though they were parents, they were still their children.
After entering the house and sitting down, Lin Mei started to bring snacks to Lin Xiaoxia, and she saved some of her favorite foods for her elder sister.
However, many snacks of this era contain pigments and many additives. These chemical food additives were just beginning to become popular at that time, so many people had no idea about the harm of these things. She could eat them normally, but when she was pregnant, she tried to eat less of them, and by the way, let Lin Mei eat less.
The two sisters were chatting here, and Lu Jingshen went to help his father-in-law and mother-in-law cook.
Lin Mei told Lin Xiaoxia about Shi Liang's visit to her before the New Year: "Sister, I really didn't expect that Shi Liang and I could be friends so easily. I thought it would be awkward for him and I to meet again, but it doesn't seem to be awkward. I can't explain it, but it's just not as complicated as I thought."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled at her sister and said, "It's not that complicated. You've left your original place and each of you has more room for development. You both have your own desired lives, so you'll realize how inappropriate your previous engagement was. Shiliang will become a good chef and have a suitable girlfriend. And when you go to college, you'll meet the right person at the right time. But you two weren't suitable for each other."
Lin Mei said: "Well, Shi Liang and I have also said that we are indeed not suitable for each other, so we are friends. After all, we grew up together."
After that, she continued, "Sister, I feel that my relationship with Shi Yan has also changed. We have met several times since she came to the city, but she treats me differently than before. The strange distance is obvious."
"There's nothing we can do about it. You used to have the same family background, the same future, everything was the same. But now your family background and future are different from hers. If she doesn't accept this from the bottom of her heart, then it's inevitable that she will feel distant."
"But I really want to treat her as a good friend. After all, I have known her for so many years."
"People are also bound by fate. Whether it's family, love, or friendship, these relationships will change over time, so you have to learn to face them."
"Sister, when people grow up, they will have more worries."
"That's why children want to grow up, and adults miss their childhood."
