She would not let Wang Xiaojie look at the house. If she was allowed to look at it, it would definitely be a bungalow with four or five rooms. Four children each with a room, plus if they got married and had children in the future, the house would need at least nine rooms.
Wang Xiaojie certainly had no objection. She asked Lu Jiaxin, "A matchmaker introduced her to your father. Did you know about this?"
"I heard you have someone you like?"
Wang Xiaojie came so early to talk about this matter: "No one is suitable. Your father told the matchmaker that he is not in the mood to look for someone now. Jiaxin, it's not that he doesn't want to find someone, but he wants to find someone beautiful and fashionable."
Seeing Lu Jiaxin looking at her, Wang Xiaojie explained, "I'm not making random guesses. I took him to the mall to buy clothes last month. In the mall, we met a fashionable woman in her forties. The woman accidentally dropped her scarf, and your father quickly stepped forward to help pick it up. His movements were more neat than your eldest brother's."
Lu Jiaxin said nonchalantly: "It's up to him. He can find a 30-year-old if he's capable."
Wang Xiaojie lowered her voice and said, "That won't work! Jiaxin, your father has hidden a lot of good things, you have to ask for them. Otherwise, if he really looks for them, and then the things are taken away, you will be asked to take care of him and look after him until the end of his life, which is a big loss."
She had never thought about Lu Hongjun's things. She would fight for what she could get, but like this time with the house, she would not touch anything she shouldn't have.
When Lu Jiaxin heard this, she said casually, "I don't want it. Besides, with the relationship between him and me now, he can't give me anything good even if he has it."
Wang Xiaojie said, "Jia Xin, that's not right. You are her only daughter, and his things must be given to you, otherwise your eldest brother, second brother, and fifth brother will not agree."
She also has her own selfish motives. Although Lu Jiaxin promised to take care of Lu Hongjun's later years, she moved Lu's mother's grave and would definitely not come back in the future. Lu Hongjun was going to give a large amount of property to others. When the time came, he would not care about it in a fit of anger, and he could not chase him to Gangcheng to ask for alimony. However, if Lu Hongjun's things were given to Lu Jiaxin, even if she did not come back, she would still take care of Lu Hongjun for the rest of his life. At that time, they would just take care of him without having to spend money and effort.
Lu Jiaxin said uninterestedly: "It's just a few melons and dates, I don't care."
Wang Xiaojie said softly: "Xinxin, those are not just a few melons and dates. I don't know the exact number, but it must be a lot, and they are all good stuff."
Lu Jiaxin looked at her suspiciously.
Wang Xiaojie lowered her voice even more: "Your eldest brother once mentioned to me in a chat that your father had been secretly collecting old items for more than ten years. Your father has high standards and will not accept anything that is not good."
If it was something else, Lu Jiaxin wouldn't really be interested, but she was interested in antiques: "Are you sure?"
Wang Xiaojie said, "He told your eldest brother himself, it can't be false. Jiaxin, you have to take these things, don't let others get them for free."
Lu Jiaxin said sincerely: "I understand, thank you sister-in-law."
Among all his nephews and nieces, Lu Hongjun relied on Lu Jiaguang the most. If the couple had selfish motives, it would not be a problem to get half of the money, not to mention all of it. But they did not do so, which shows their character.
After finishing the discussion, Wang Xiaojie said, "Do you have anything to do today? If not, my second sister-in-law and I will take you out for a walk and buy some things."
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "Su Heyuan asked me to bring something to Madam Xie. I called Madam Xie yesterday and will be there soon."
It was a rare leave, and Wang Xiaojie would not go back to the hospital: "Then you are busy, I will go home and make lunch."
When Lu Jiaxin went out, she said to Lu Ersao: "Sister-in-law, I won't be back for lunch, you don't have to wait for me."
"Ah, you're not coming back for lunch?"
When Mrs. Lu heard that it was Madam Xie, she hurriedly urged, "Then go quickly and don't keep them waiting too long."
"Well, I'll leave now."
I took a taxi this time. I was used to taking the taxi in Hong Kong and I didn't want to wait for the bus. Besides, I had to change two times to get to Mrs. Xie's place, and the bus took too much time.
After getting in the car, Lu Jiaxin was glad that she had exchanged 10,000 green coins before coming back, otherwise it would have been difficult to get a taxi.
Normally, Lu Jiaxin would close her eyes and rest as soon as she got in the car. She had a good sleep last night and was in a good mood, so she asked Gu Wenfeng, "Is your son going to call someone?"
"Yes, he called me dad when he saw me, and even touched my face, saying he was his real dad," said Gu Wenfeng. The two children knew him because his wife showed them his photos every day.
Lu Jiaxin laughed out loud, children are so cute.
Speaking of his son, Gu Wenfeng had more to say: "He can walk now, but he is a big eater. He consumes five or six cans of milk powder every month."
Fortunately, he followed Lu Jiaxin and earned more than 1,000 Chinese yuan a month. Otherwise, with a salary of just over 100 yuan, they would not be able to drink milk powder like this. Milk powder in the mainland is not easy to buy, so he bought it and asked someone to take it to Pengcheng and send it back. Not to mention, the shipping fee is a huge sum.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "It's a good thing for children to be able to eat. They are strong and healthy and are not prone to getting sick."
Gu Wenfeng's face was full of smiles: "Eating five or six cans of milk powder a month, and eating so much meat and eggs, it would be a waste if your body is not healthy."
The driver couldn't help but interrupt them, "Five or six cans of milk powder a month, and a lot of meat and eggs? Can your son's stomach hold that?"
Lu Jiaxin said cheerfully: "Master, he has two sons, twins."
The driver was envious when he heard this: "So they are twins? Brother, you are so lucky to have two sons at once. I have two daughters in a row. Alas, I want a son but the government doesn't allow me to have one."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "You envy those who have several sons now, but when you are old, you will know the benefits of having daughters."
So family planning is good. If you don't have a son, you will focus on raising a daughter. If resources are limited, you will still prefer a son. Treating everyone equally is just talk, but few can actually do it.
Gu Wenfeng smiled and said, "As long as the child has a promising future, no matter if it's a son or a daughter, they will be filial to their parents. If they don't have the ability to support themselves and still have to rely on their parents to support them, that would be terrible."
The driver agreed with this: "You are right. The key is to cultivate. If you cultivate well, your daughter will be very filial and may be more caring than your son."
Because the conversation went well, the driver offered to pay 20 Chinese yuan.
Lu Jiaxin handed him a ten-yuan green coin and said with a smile, "It's okay. I have enough green coins on hand."
The driver didn't refuse after hearing that and happily accepted it.
