Chapter 264 Lu Hongjun Compromises



Lu Hongjun originally intended to give the old items he collected to his nephews. In his mind, his nephews were the ones who continued the Lu family's incense, and his daughter would eventually marry someone from another family. Of course, this would not prevent him from taking care of her in her old age. It was because of this idea that he let the cat out of the bag in front of Lu Jiaguang.

After Lu Jiaxin finished speaking, she turned around and said to Gu Wenfeng, "Brother Gu, hurry up and leave. Your sister-in-law and the children must be waiting for you to come back home!"

Gu Wenfeng nodded, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Lu Hongjun and said, "Jia Xin's character is obvious to all. You should not refuse if you are clear-headed."

Relying on a nephew for support in old age is the stupidest thing. Take the Lu family for example. Lu Jiaguang is a good person, but his biological parents are still alive. It is impossible for him to be unfilial to his biological parents and be filial to your uncle from the next room. If you are sick, it is no problem for me to help take care of you for a few days, but it is definitely impossible to pay and work hard. I can't afford it. Not to mention Lu Jiajie's parents, who only take advantage and never suffer losses. If Lu Hongjun asked him to support them, they would rush to the city immediately. As for marrying again in the future, he likes beauty and will marry a beautiful one. A beautiful woman marries an old man like you for money. When all the money is taken away, who will care about such an old man?

Lu Hongjun knew that he was not an ordinary person: "What if she breaks her promise and doesn't care about me anymore?"

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but say, "We haven't benefited from you in these years. The last few times you were sick, I asked Jiazong to take care of you and made chicken and fish soup for you to nourish your body. That was all for Jiaxin's sake. If you don't give your things to Jiaxin and keep them to marry a young and beautiful widow, I'm also putting my words here. Don't call us if you are sick or hospitalized in the future. We won't help."

After saying this, she glared at her man.

Lu Jiazong reacted quickly this time and immediately agreed: "Uncle San, I listen to my wife."

Lu Hongjun was almost furious.

Lu Jiaxin was a little tired. She yawned and said, "Second brother, I smell a burning smell. What do you think is burnt?"

Lu Jiazong shouted "My fish" and rushed into the kitchen in a hurry.

"Give me an answer before tomorrow night. If you miss the deadline, it will be considered a rejection and it will be useless for you to regret it." Lu Jiaxin said. She was very sleepy and didn't want to waste any more words with Lu Hongjun. After saying this, she went back to her room to sleep.

Seeing that Lu Ersao ignored him and Lu Jiazong was busy in the kitchen and couldn't take care of him, Lu Hongjun stood in the yard for a while and then left.

Mrs. Lu had actually been secretly observing him, and she was relieved to see him leave. If he hadn't stayed for dinner, she wouldn't have been able to eat the meal.

Lu Hongjun did not go back, but went to find Lu Jiaguang and asked him why he told Lu Jiaxin about his private collection of antiques.

Lu Jiaguang was stunned at first, but soon realized that it was his wife who said that. He didn't think his wife was wrong, so he asked, "Uncle San, if you don't give these things to Jiaxin, who are you going to give them to?"

Lu Hongjun said, "The bulk will be given to you and Jiajie, and some will be given to Jiazong, Jiayao and their brothers. Now that Jiaxin knows about this, she wants it all."

Lu Jiaguang actually guessed his plan, but he didn't think about asking for these things: "Uncle San, Jiaxin has to take care of you until the end of your life, these things should be given to her."

Lu Hongjun blurted out, "You take care of me in my old age, and I'll give you all my things. Jiaguang, all the things I collected are good things, and they will become more and more valuable in the future. If we don't have money, we can sell a few pieces and leave the rest as heirlooms to our descendants."

He had always had this idea in his mind, but he had never said it out loud before. Now Lu Jiaxin forced him to say it out loud.

Lu Jiaguang refused without thinking and said, "Uncle San, if I agree, who will I be? How can I face Jiaxin in the future?"

"She's going to Hong Kong City and may not come back for a few years. Don't worry about her thoughts."

Lu Jiaguang had seen with his own eyes how much he loved Lu Jiaxin before, but he ended up marrying a second wife and treating Jiaxin like a thief. The more Lu Jiaguang thought about it, the more upset he felt: "Uncle San, please stop talking. I won't agree to it. Xiaojie won't agree to it even if she knows. There's no such thing as doing things this way."

Lu Jiaguang was very firm in his attitude: "For their sake, I can't have one. The national policy now is that a family can only have one child. With your precedent, wouldn't the one who gave birth to a son regard the property of the brother who gave birth to a daughter as his own? Then Lu Ping and Lu An will become enemies."

Lu Hongjun was speechless.

Lu Jiaguang said, "Uncle San, if you agree to give the things to Jiaxin, Jiajie and I will go to her to discuss your retirement."

If he didn't give the things to his sister, he wouldn't have the face to tell Lu Jiaxin about it. Besides, he didn't trust Lu Hongjun. His beloved daughter was so cautious now, who knew if she would turn her face against him in the future. He could help take care of her, but it was impossible to take care of her until she died.

Lu Hongjun asked: "Don't you regret it?"

Lu Jiaguang was helpless. What kind of question was this? "I won't regret it."

Lu Hongjun said: "Go back and discuss it with Xiaojie and then give me an answer."

Lu Jiaguang said he didn't need it: "If Xiaojie wanted your things, she wouldn't have told Jiaxin about this. Uncle San, don't hesitate, just give the things to Jiaxin!"

"Jiaxin is a good child. I believe she will do what she promised."

Lu Hongjun stopped struggling and said, "Okay, then you call her and tell her that I agree, but we need to sit down and discuss the specific terms."

Lu Jiaguang did not refuse, but he did not call. Instead, he said, "I will go and talk to Jiaxin after get off work."

It's better to talk about this kind of thing face to face, it's not clear over the phone. And it's not just him, Jiajie has to be called in. Jiaxin probably won't come back from Hong Kong City, and if she gets sick, she'll have to rely on the three brothers to take care of her.

Lu Hongjun said: "Okay, I'll wait for you to get off work."

Lu Jiaguang didn't dare to let him go. Even if he went, there would be no way to discuss the matter: "Jiajie and I can go over and talk to Jiaxin."

Lu Hongjun was silent. Ever since this girl moved out, they quarreled every time they met and never had a good conversation.

After sending him out of the office, Lu Jiaguang called Wang Xiaojie and said, "I'm going to Jiaxin's place later, so I won't be home for dinner tonight."

"Is it about those old things?"

Lu Jiaguang did not hide it and told her what Lu Hongjun had done. If he didn't tell her now, his wife and the second son's wife would know it when they met: "Third uncle has promised to give the things in his hands to Jiaxin. I will go over after get off work to talk to Jiaxin about his retirement."

Wang Xiaojie hummed and said, "Don't let Uncle San ask for too much. It's not easy for Jiaxin to live in Hong Kong City. Just make ends meet."

"Well, I know what's going on."
