Chapter 215: Cousin's Marriage is Set
Lu Guojiu sighed with self-mockery: "I have always wanted the kind of family love, and I got it in this way. It's not sincere. It's sad to think about it."
Lu Guojiu felt even more uncomfortable because of the excessive flattery from his mother and brother today, because they all had ulterior motives, and this kind of family affection was not what he wanted at all.
Li Shaofen sat next to Lu Guojiu. "It's not easy for anyone. I talked a lot with Jiang Zhi today. We were disappointed before, so we are just more disappointed at most. And the brothers that Jiang Zhi has always trusted did not help her when she encountered difficulties, and even said sarcastic words. So it's a good thing for us to see through these people earlier."
Lu Guojiu pressed his hand to his forehead: "Yes, I saw it clearly earlier. I can live my life in peace in the future. I have given a lot of living expenses to the elderly and have been filial to them. That's enough. There is really no need for more."
Lu Jingshen said, "Well, if you get along well, then get along. If you don't get along well, then don't force it." After saying that, Lu Jingshen remembered the nonsense chat method that Ai Xiaoxia taught Lu Guojiu, and asked Lu Guojiu with a smile, "Dad, the way you talked to my grandma and them today really opened my eyes."
Speaking of this, Lu Guojiu couldn't help laughing. "This is all thanks to Xiaoxia. She told me that if I really don't know how to answer, I should just make up what the other person said and reply back. I could talk for a year and still not come up with anything, but I keep talking."
Li Shaofen laughed when she heard this and said, "Your dad was afraid that this method wouldn't work for him a few days ago, so he tried it with me for a day. He didn't make me mad to death."
Everyone started laughing when talking about this. Lu Jingyuan also recalled that day and imitated what Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen said that day, making everyone laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
Wang Jinfeng was in the car, feeling very nervous. Nothing was arranged today, everything was a mess. She regretted it every time she thought about it, but after it was over, she was really depressed.
She sat next to Jiang Zhi on purpose. She didn't want to think about those things at this moment. She decided to persuade her daughter-in-law not to get a divorce.
She pulled Jiang Zhi's arm and said, "Zhi'er, it's great that our family is together. No matter what I did wrong in the past, I promise to treat you well in the future. No matter what, Jingxin is already so old. In two years, Jingxin should get married. It's great that our family is together. By then, four generations will live under the same roof."
Jiang Zhi had long lost any feelings for Wang Jinfeng and Lu Guosheng, whether it was family affection or love. She had just wanted to live together, but this incident made it impossible for her to continue living together.
She said, "Mom, I'm carsick and don't want to talk." Then she closed her eyes, leaned back in her seat and stopped talking.
No matter how angry Wang Jinfeng was, it was useless. She couldn't explain everything in detail in the car. She turned to Lu Jingxin and said, "Jingxin, you have to persuade your mother not to act like a child and act impulsively. You are getting married soon, and family unity is more important than anything else."
Lu Jingxin said to Wang Jinfeng, "Grandma, I don't even have a partner. I don't know when we're going to get married. I'm also a little carsick. I'll take a nap." After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Wang Jinfeng looked at her son in the front seat, thinking for a long time without saying anything. What could she say? Ask him to persuade Jiang Zhi? It's not that she hadn't tried, but it was useless. Ask him to work hard? He'd lost his job. Ask him to start over again, he wouldn't even be able to find his way.
In the end, Wang Jinfeng didn't say anything. She looked out the window, feeling a chill in her heart.
The atmosphere in Lu Guoji's home was even more strange at this time. Lu Guoji sat on the kang, wondering why Lu Guojiu had changed so much now. It seemed that his health and complexion had improved. He spoke so confidently and dared to say anything. He was not afraid of anyone. Was this a sign of being rich?
He had heard that their family owned a hotel, and he knew what a hotel was like, but how had they gotten the capital? What had happened to their family? What outsiders didn't know was that success comes gradually, and it seemed like their family had suddenly changed.
When did it change? Yes, it was after Ai Xiaoxia got married. Yes, that was then. No, that's not right either. When Ai Xiaoxia got married, I went there alone. The Ai Xiaoxia at that time seemed different from the one after that. Could that be the problem?
Lu Jingxue came in and sat next to Lu Guoji: "Dad, do you think Second Uncle's family is really that rich? Do we really have to curry favor with them? I think what Mom said is right. The relationship between our two families is already like this. There's no point in currying favor with them, right?"
Lu Guoji was also conflicted: "I don't know either. Your mother is right, and your grandmother also has a point. Your second uncle, your eldest uncle, and I are brothers. If I ask him for help, will he not care?"
Lu Jingxue sighed: "Dad, when Second Uncle was sick, he borrowed money from our family and begged us for help, but we didn't do anything about it, did we?"
Lu Guoji was silent after hearing this. "Well, that depends on how ruthless your uncle is. At that time, I blamed the village barefoot doctor. He said your uncle wouldn't survive, so I thought the money I lent him would be a waste. Who would have thought he would turn things around?"
"Dad, my mom hasn't come back yet. Should I go look for her?" Lu Jingxue was a little worried about Jiang Lirong. After all, it was New Year's Day, and it would not be good if something happened.
Lu Guoji said: "No, she has been domineering for many years. She needs to suffer a little, otherwise she will not know her place. This woman cannot be indulged all the time."
Lu Jingxue thought about it and said, "I guess my mother will be back by Heitian."
Zhang Tingting eavesdropped on their conversation at the door and felt unhappy. Her husband had been very good to her before, but things had changed since she lost her job.
They went back to their parents' home on the third day of the New Year, so on the second day, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen did not go out and stayed at home.
In the morning, my cousin Jiang Qingru came to visit with a box of snacks.
After entering the door, he first greeted Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen, then exchanged a few words with Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen and sat down.
After sitting down, Lu Guojiu thanked Jiang Qingru again, thanking her for saving Lu Lin's child. Anyway, he thanked her every time he saw her. In Lu Guojiu's heart, this was a great favor.
Jiang Qingru said quickly, "Uncle, I'm a doctor. This is what I should do. You really don't have to be so polite. Besides, Xiaoxia and I are relatives, so aren't we relatives too? Why should we be polite to our own family?"
Lu Guojiu said: "Even if we are relatives, there are good and bad people. We really don't know how to repay your kindness."
Jiang Qingru smiled and said, "Uncle, I came here to thank Xiaoxia and Jingshen. They helped me a lot. If it weren't for them, I don't know when I would find my wife."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Jiang Qingru with a smile: "Cousin, is this settled?"
Jiang Qingru nodded: "Yes, let's get engaged in the spring and have the wedding in the winter."
Lu Jingshen also quickly said: "Congratulations, cousin."
