During the three months in Yangcheng, he missed his two children day and night: "Come on, Dad will take you home."

Ma's mother called him and said with a smile, "What are you going to do back home? Just eat here. I just bought two pounds of mutton and a pig's trotter today, so let's cook them today."

Lu Jiajie said coldly, "A peasant like me who is not worthy of being on the table is not worthy of sitting on your table, let alone eating your meat."

Ma Dahua scolded him when she said this. Ma's mother was standing next to him and didn't say a word. She didn't give him face in the beginning, and now she wants to suck his blood, so he naturally won't give her face.

Ma's mother's face turned red.

The two children sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and they did not dare to say anything. Lu Jiajie found coats for the two children and put them on, then carried one and led the other out.

When they got outside, Lu Jiajie asked, "Were you bullied by the little fat boy at grandma's house?"

When Qiangqiang heard this, he said aggrievedly, "Yes, he always snatches Xiaofeng and me's things, and grandma always asks Xiaofeng and me to give in to him. He is older than Xiaofeng and me, why should we give in to him?"

At my aunt's house, my brother Zhang and sister Zhenzhen always gave in to them because they were the youngest. But at my grandmother's house, it was the opposite.

Xiaofeng also said, "Dad, I don't want to stay at my grandmother's house. I want to go to my aunt's house, but my mother won't allow it. Dad, can you take us to my aunt's house?"

Ma Lili had to go to work, so she couldn't leave the two children at home during the holidays, so she sent them directly back to her mother's home. Because they knew that Ma's mother would not favor them, the two children were very well-behaved in Ma's home.

Lu Jiajie touched her head and made an excuse: "My aunt is not in good health. You guys are too noisy and it will affect her. You don't have to go to your grandmother's house anymore. Just stay at home."

The two children cheered.

It was so cold that Lu Jiajie was too lazy to cook and took the two children to a restaurant. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he took the two children home.

When Ma Lili saw him, she said coldly, "Lu Jiajie, why did you lose your temper with my mother just now? Did she provoke you?"

Qiangqiang couldn't bear to hear this and loudly defended her: "Mom, Dad didn't lose his temper with grandma, he just said he didn't want to eat at grandma's house."

Lu Jiajie touched his son's head and said, "Qiangqiang, take your sister back to her room."

When the two children were no longer around, Lu Jiajie said, "Ma Lili, don't you know why I lost my temper?"

Ma Lili said: "My parents' attitude was a bit bad during that period because of the adoption. But we have lived in my mother's house for so many years, and they helped us raise Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng. You shouldn't be angry with them just for this."

Lu Jiajie was so angry that he laughed and asked directly: "Tell me, how much money did you borrow?"

Ma Lili felt a little guilty, but quickly said, "How much did you borrow?"

After Lu Jiaxin lost her temper, Lu Jiajie did not call Ma Lili to ask about this matter. He wanted to see when Ma Lili was going to tell him about this matter. But he did not expect that she would not tell him about it even before the New Year, and not only that, she had the nerve to question him about his bad attitude.

Lu Jiaxinjie lost his patience and asked coldly, "How much money did you lend to Yan Jixiang to buy a house? When will they give it back? It's the end of the year and they are waiting for money to buy new clothes and New Year's goods. It's not good to delay it."

Ma Lili blurted out: "How did you know that?" Lu Jiajie laughed angrily and said, "Don't you know how to borrow money from so many people? Ma Lili, you are really capable! Your family is still in debt, and I racked my brains to think of how to make more money to pay off the debt, but you still borrowed money to buy a house for your nephew. I tell you, whoever uses this debt must pay it back, and I can't pay it back."

Even if Jiaxin didn't lose her temper at that time, and he didn't let Ale find out, she would have found out soon.

Ma Lili also felt wronged and said, "Do you think I am willing to borrow money? But my parents are kneeling in front of me, begging me, what can I do?"

“Wow, wow, wow…”

Xiaofeng was frightened and burst into tears when she heard his roar. Lu Jiajie didn't bother to argue with her and ran into the house. He saw his daughter crying in his son's arms and felt heartbroken.

Qiangqiang also cried, and begged, "Dad, please don't quarrel with Mom, okay? Mom has been working and taking care of me and my sister lately, and it's been very hard."

Lu Jiajie suppressed his anger, touched his head, hummed, then went to pour hot water, washed the two children's hair and faces, soaked their feet, and coaxed them to sleep.

After the two children fell asleep, Ma Lili said carefully: "Jiajie, I'm sorry, I know it's my fault. But my parents were so old and knelt on the ground begging me, I really couldn't refuse."

Lu Jiajie suppressed his anger and asked, "How much did you borrow?"

"One thousand five."

She actually gave two thousand, but only borrowed fifteen hundred, and the remaining five hundred was raised by selling her gold necklace and gold ring. But she just knew about this and didn't dare tell Lu Jiajie.

Lu Jiajie still said the same thing, he would not pay back the money, either Ma’s father and mother would pay it back, or Yan Fang and Ma Dahua would pay it back.

Ma Lili lowered her head and said, "My parents emptied their savings and borrowed two thousand yuan from outside. My eldest sister and brother-in-law have no money."

"That's none of my business."

After saying this, Lu Jiajie went to wash up. After washing, he took his son to another room to sleep, not in the same room with Ma Lili.

Although this matter was annoying, Lu Jiajie was exhausted from running around for days and fell asleep in bed after lying down for a while. Ma Lili, on the other hand, lay in bed tossing and turning all night without sleeping.

The next morning, Lu Jiajie put the two children at Ale's house and asked Ale's mother to help take care of them. He first went to Guangming Road to get money from Lu Jiaxin, and then went to find Lu Jiaguang.

Lu Jiaguang glanced at him with some surprise: "Why are you fatter?"

The two brothers talked on the phone quite frequently and knew that Lu Jiajie was very busy over there. People who are too busy will be very tired and generally lose weight.

Lu Jiajie touched his face and said, "The seafood there is very cheap. We will buy it and cook it ourselves at night. If we don't control ourselves, we will get fat."

It's close to the sea and the seafood is very cheap.

Lu Jiajie took out eight hundred yuan and indicated to Lu Jiaguang under his scrutinizing gaze that this was a reward from Lu Jiaxin: "I said no, but she said if I didn't take it, she would just give it to Lili."

Lu Jiajie deserves half of the credit for making this business successful and making so much money, so it is only right to give him a bonus. But thinking about his family, Lu Jiaguang couldn't help but frown again.

Lu Jiaguang asked, "Hasn't your wife told you about the loan yet?" Lu Jiajie shook his head and said, "When I went to the Ma family to pick up the child yesterday, I said a few unpleasant things. She came back and scolded me, so I questioned her in anger."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Her voice got louder at the end: "You kept it a secret from me? How could I not know when the creditors came to ask for the money? I told her that I would not pay it back. If the Ma family and the Yan Fang couple don't pay it back, let her figure it out on her own."
