That day, Lu Hongjun told Lu Jiajie that he wanted to get married to Tang Sufen: "Your Aunt Tang is gentle and considerate, and her cooking is delicious. I'm going to marry her, and I don't need to hire an aunt. I can ask her to help take care of Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng."
Lu Jiajie refused without thinking: "Uncle San, this woman is not a good person. She had a lover named Lao Hu before. He paid for his children's education and found a job for her eldest daughter. But he turned his face away from her as soon as he was transferred."
Lu Hongjun said this was all slander: "Your Aunt Tang is not such a person."
The uncle and nephew had a quarrel over this matter, and Lu Jiajie turned around and left in anger. He did not look for his friends, as he did not want to air his family's dirty laundry in public, so he went directly to Lu Jiaguang to complain.
Lu Jiajie said, "Brother, when Tang Sufen heard that Third Uncle said that the property would be left to Jiaxin, she said that she wanted Third Uncle as a person, and that she could live in her house if she didn't have a house."
At this point, he said disdainfully: "They have a family of six and only two rooms. Living in her house? How dare you say that? Where would they sleep in such a small place? Hang it on the wall?"
"You see, Third Uncle is really something. We don't object if he wants to marry another woman, but he has to marry a woman who can live a down-to-earth life! What is he looking for? It's obvious that the woman is after his house and high pension. Why can't we understand that?"
Lu Jiaguang saw through it and said, "It's not that he doesn't understand, he just wants to find a pretty and coaxing woman. How could this pretty, coaxing, and younger woman like him?"
Uncle San was the general manager of a department store, and that position required him to handle the relationships between various parties. He had been doing this for more than 20 years, and his ability and vision were beyond doubt. So he knew very well that the other party was willing to marry him for some purpose, and he also had his own purpose, so the two of them were just getting what they wanted.
Lu Jiajie said angrily, "After Ding Jing left, here comes Tang Sufen. He will never stop."
I thought I could separate the two of them, but I didn't expect them to become so passionate in such a short time. The more I thought about him, the more upset I felt. He was so old and still liked to mess around.
Lu Jiaguang was more open-minded and said, "We can't stop him from looking for us, so let him go! After all, most of his private collection was taken away by Jiaxin, and Jiaxin will take care of anything in the future."
Lu Jiajie felt something was wrong when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean by taking away most of it? Didn't Third Uncle say that he gave it all to Jiaxin?"
"Do you think, given Third Uncle's personality, he would give all his private collection to Jiaxin?
Lu Jiajie thought that since the relationship between father and daughter was so tense, he must leave a way out for himself. Thinking of this, he asked, "Brother, do you know what treasures Uncle San has?"
How could Lu Jiaguang know? He is not a god who can predict the future. "He keeps these things for his retirement and will not take them out. You don't need to bother asking."
"I'm afraid he'll give it to that woman."
Lu Jiaguang had thought about this question before, but the answer was no: "Jiajie, Third Uncle doesn't even trust his own daughter, do you think he would trust a woman he married back halfway? These things are the last guarantee he left for himself, and he won't take them out unless his life is at stake."
Lu Jiajie said: "Who knows, what if that woman is like Ding Jing and takes away all the things and money?"
Lu Jiaguang shook his head and said, "Ding Jing doesn't know about Uncle San's secret collection, otherwise she wouldn't have only asked for one room in the divorce."
Lu Jiajie thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought about Lu Hongjun marrying again so soon. He had seen how cold and cruel he was to Jia Xin before, and thought that he really loved Ding Jing. But Ding Jing had only been in prison for a short time, and he wanted to marry again.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He said in a bad tone, "Brother, what do you think a wife and children mean to Uncle San?"
Third Aunt had been married to him for so many years and they loved each other very much, but after he remarried, he forgot about her and didn't even care about his daughter's life or death.
Lu Jiaguang felt that he was asking for trouble: "We don't need to worry about Third Uncle's later years. Jiaxin is here. We can just lend a hand when the time comes."
In fact, Lu Hongjun's remarriage was a good thing for them. If he got sick in the future, his wife would definitely take care of him.
Two days later, Lu Hongjun called Lu Jiaguang home and told him that he was going to register for marriage with Tang Sufen: "Your Aunt Tang said that we won't hold any wedding banquets at this age, so as not to make people laugh at us. After we get the marriage certificate, our two families will have a meal together."
Lu Jiaguang refused without thinking, saying that he would be on a business trip in a few days and he didn't know when he would be back. In fact, this business trip was for a week, but he didn't want to go to dinner, nor did he want to have any contact with Tang Sufen's family. Before, he wanted to buy his house together with Lu Hongjun's, but seeing that he was so eager to remarry, Lu Jiaguang thought it would be better for the two families to stay away from each other.
When Lu Jiajie heard him say that he didn't agree with getting the marriage certificate, he said, "Third Uncle, you and Tang Sufen can invite a few tables and let everyone get to know her, but you can't get the marriage certificate."
Lu Hongjun said: "How can this be possible? Without a marriage certificate, we are not a legal couple."
Lu Jiajie said rudely: "So what if we are legally married after getting the marriage certificate? Can she be buried with you after she dies? Do you think her children will agree?"
"As the old saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's child can dig holes when it's born. Tang Sufen is so calculating, what good can come from her letting her children be influenced by her? When you're old and can't move, do you think you can count on them? Don't let them enjoy their lives with your pension while you're lying in bed, freezing and starving."
Lu Hongjun's expression changed slightly. He was afraid that he would be too old to move and no one would take care of him, so he gave in when Jia Xin asked for his collection.
Lu Jiajie added fuel to the fire and said, "Uncle San, Zhao Siyi is a ready-made example. When you are old and can't move and need someone to take care of you, you can still count on Jiaxin and us brothers."
Lu Hongjun was silent for a moment and then said, "I will discuss it with your Aunt Tang."
This is not what Lu Jiajie wanted: "Uncle San, it's not just me, my eldest brother also means this. You just need to set up a few tables with her and let everyone know that you two will live together after you become a couple. You absolutely cannot get a marriage certificate."
Actually, you haven't obtained the marriage certificate yet, but you have held a wedding banquet, and everyone recognizes that you are a couple. It's just that Lu Jiajie has a lot of business experience and knows that there is a difference between having a marriage certificate and not having one.
