Lu Jiaxin didn't answer.
Lu Jiajie said, "Here is three hundred yuan. Xinxin, didn't you say you wanted to buy leather shoes? Take this money and go buy them tomorrow."
Lu Jiaxin didn't answer, and said indifferently: "Fifth brother, I know you are doing this for my own good, but from now on I will not ask him for a penny."
She still had to show her attitude, otherwise Lu Hongjun, who was so selfish, would still maintain the same attitude as before when he saw that she gave in to her offer of 300 yuan.
"Xinxin..."
Lu Jiaxin didn't want to hear what he said next, she waved her hand and said, "Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi killed me and ruined my future, but he didn't pursue the matter. Fifth brother, I'm telling you the truth. Actually, I wanted to break off relations with him because of his attitude when we returned to Sijiu City, but I gave him another chance because he gave birth to me and raised me. But you saw what he did, he doesn't deserve it at all."
Lu Jiajie sighed: "Xinxin, I understand your feelings. But if you really insist on being stubborn with Uncle San, it will only benefit the mother and daughter."
Lu Jiaxin said, "Fifth brother, I know he must have saved up a lot of money. If the price is to tolerate that vicious mother and daughter jumping around in front of me every day, then I would rather not."
"A good man does not eat the food of a divided family, and a good woman does not wear the dress she wore when she got married. I believe I can live a rich life in the future without his property."
Lu Jiajie stopped trying to persuade her. His sister was still angry, and continuing to persuade her would only add fuel to the fire. He should try to persuade her again after she calmed down!
Alas, he himself has a lot of lawsuits on his mind.
Lu Jiajie was not willing to go back, so he stayed in the alley at night. Because he needed to supplement his nutrition, the food here was very good. In the evening, Xue Mao prepared three dishes and one soup, namely braised fish, stir-fried edamame with peppers, stir-fried water spinach, and pork ribs and kelp soup, and cooked half a pot of rice.
A bowl of rice was enough for Lu Jiaxin, but Lu Jiajie and Xue Mao were both big eaters, and they finished all four dishes and a rice cooker.
Lu Jiajie burped and said comfortably, "Xinxin, I feel more comfortable here with you."
He was sweet-talking, good at dealing with people, and able to put down his status, so he lived well in the Ma family in the past few years. But after Ma Lili had her sterilization, Ma's father's attitude towards him was not as good as before, but it was still within the tolerance range. But when Ma's eldest sister came up with a brilliant move, Ma's father started to be rude to him.
Lu Jiaxin asked: "Brother, sister-in-law still won't give in?"
Lu Jiajie smiled and said, "She agreed to move out. But she doesn't want to rent a house and wants to buy one. Xinxin, it's all thanks to you."
He had also silently calculated the family's savings before, and thought that at most he could save 1500 or 600 yuan. Although both of them had jobs, they had to pay for living expenses every month and buy things for the family from time to time. In addition, they had to raise two children, so the expenses were quite high.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaxin immediately said, "Brother, it's better to buy a house near the school, so that it will be convenient for Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng to study in the future."
It is extremely cold in the city in winter. If the school is too far away, it is also a pain to ride a bicycle to school every day. Adults can bear it, but children with weak bodies may not be able to bear it.
Lu Jiajie slapped his head, wondering why he had forgotten this before. He planned to call Lu Hongjun tomorrow to talk about this.
In fact, in the seven years since he came to Sijiu City, he habitually went to Lu Hongjun when he encountered problems, and every time, Lu Hongjun would help him. This time, he also told Lu Hongjun about buying a house as soon as possible.
The same is true, Lu Hongjun always tells him to do anything. For example, he was busy with Lu Jiaxin's moving and wedding banquet.
After dinner, the three of them chatted in the courtyard while enjoying the cool breeze. Lu Jiajie mainly talked, and Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao listened.
The chatting time passed quickly, and more than an hour went by in the blink of an eye. It was not until Lu Jiaxin said that it was almost time to go to bed that the three of them washed up and went back to bed.
Visiting graves requires not only incense, candles, paper money, but also tributes. Lu Jiaxin had already bought the fruits, and the only thing missing was rice and vegetables. The next day, Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao got up at dawn to prepare, but Lu Jiajie slept until seven o'clock.
As soon as he left the room, he smelled the aroma of meat. Lu Jiajie stood at the kitchen door, poked his head in to take a look, and asked what delicious food was cooked.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I made cabbage and pork dumplings and three-fresh dumplings. Fifth brother, whichever one do you want to eat, I'll cook it for you now."
Lu Jiajie likes to eat it: "Cook more!"
After eating a big bowl of dumplings, he couldn't help but touch his stomach. If he continued to live there, it wouldn't take long for the fat he had lost to be replenished.
After checking her things, Lu Jiaxin was about to go out with Xue Mao. Seeing Lu Jiajie still in the yard, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why aren't you going to work yet?"
Lu Jiajie smiled and said that he had asked for leave: "If you two go to the suburbs, what if you run into bad guys? Let's go, let's go early and come back early."
Although Third Uncle didn't say it, he knew that was what he meant. But even if Lu Hongjun didn't hint, he was ready to go with Lu Jiaxin. A few months ago, a young girl went to her relatives' house in the suburbs and was murdered on the way. It was in broad daylight! Although many people are shrinking due to the rectification of public security, I can't feel at ease if I don't go with them.
Two and a half hours later, Lu Jiaxin stood in front of her mother's grave. She didn't know why, but when she saw the photo on the tombstone, her tears burst out like a dam.
Lu Jiajie placed the dumplings and a bowl of white meat in front of the grave, then took out a white candle from the basket and lit it, and finally took out a handful of incense.
Lu Jiaxin took the incense, knelt on the ground, cried and kowtowed. After kowtowing, she inserted the incense in front of the grave, wiped her tears, and knelt down to burn paper money.
Lu Jiajie waited for Xue Mao to finish burning incense before pulling him away. They didn't walk far before stopping at a corner.
Xue Mao looked at Lu Jiaxin who was crying like a tearful person, frowned and said, "Fifth brother, why did you pull me out? My sister is still in there."
Lu Jiajie said in a low voice: "Xinxin was almost killed by that vicious mother and daughter, and Third Uncle didn't support her. She was so upset that she couldn't tell us, so she could only confide in Third Aunt."
Since she came back, this girl has always looked lewd. But he and his elder brother knew that his sister was actually as bitter as Huang Lian. It's just that she still doesn't like to complain like before, and endures the pain silently.
Seeing Lu Jiajie and the others walking away, Lu Jiaxin looked around again, and after making sure that no one was around, she wiped her tears and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Auntie, Sister Xin, don't worry, I will make that jackal mother and daughter pay the price."
Seeing that her eyes were swollen like peaches, Lu Jiajie handed her a handkerchief and said, "Don't be sad. Third Aunt will bless you in heaven."
Lu Jiaxin choked up and said, "I know, let's go back!"
The new book is on the shelves. I hope you will continue to support and encourage June. Thank you very much.
