Lu Jiaxin didn't think about the little money in his hand. Seeing that he didn't say anything unpleasant, she didn't mock him anymore: "I promised to hire a nanny for you before. Now that you have someone to take care of you, you don't need a nanny. I'll give you this money as pocket money!"

Lu Hongjun did not refuse. His pension was quite high, but he was spending too much now and could not save any money, so an extra thousand yuan would be good. As for the things and money he had, he would not use them except under special circumstances.

After finishing the discussion, Lu Hongjun said, "It's almost time for lunch, and I should go home too. Jiaxin, if you want, come home and have a meal!"

Lu Jiaxin would not make herself uncomfortable: "Forget about the food, as long as they treat you well. If they don't treat you well, we haven't got a marriage certificate anyway, so we can just break up. I promised to make sure you have food and clothing and someone to take care of you in your later years, and I will definitely keep my promise."

These words made Lu Hongjun feel at ease.

Lu Hongjun left very quickly. He didn't like Lu Ersao and thought her tongue was sharper than a knife, so he never ate at her place.

Mrs. Lu saw Lu Jiaxin standing there and said distressedly, "Jiaxin, he is blinded by greed, don't worry about it."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, my father is such a selfish person, do you really think he will give all the money to that woman?"

Mrs. Lu didn't want to say it, but she couldn't lie to Lu Jiaxin: "Most of your father's pension was given to that woman."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "The pension is nothing. He must have a lot of money in his hands. He won't take it out until he dies."

"Sister-in-law, he knows that I will not ignore him for the sake of my reputation, but he also knows that I will only pay someone to take care of him. So he is not afraid of disappointing me, but he is afraid that you will ignore him."

Mrs. Lu thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. If her eldest brother and her husband Ajie had not said that they didn't want those old things, he wouldn't have taken them out.

Just before dinner, Xiaoqiu and Lushan came back, bringing Nannan and Goudan with them. The youngest was only four months old, and it was so cold outside, so Damai took the children to the rental house.

As soon as she saw Lu Jiaxin, Xiaoqiu rushed over and hugged her: "Aunt, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Lu Jiaxin patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "You have grown a lot taller in half a year. It seems that you will surpass my aunt in another year."

Xiao Qiu was very happy to hear this: "No, I haven't had any growth in the past two months, so I don't think I will grow any more. This is fine now. If it gets any taller, it will be hard to find a partner in the future."

Lu Jiaxin was speechless. "What do you mean by looking for a partner? You are still young, so you need to learn more. If you have nothing to do at night, go to night school and learn fashion design. Since you sell clothes, you need to understand the types of fabrics, types of clothes and styles."

Xiaoqiu didn't want to go, saying that she was already tired from running the store and selling clothes during the day and didn't have the energy to go to night school at night.

She believes a sixteen-year-old girl who says she doesn’t get enough sleep, but that’s pure nonsense when she says she doesn’t have enough energy, because this age is when she has the most energy.

Lu Jiaxin didn't preach, but just said: "I have classes at school during the day, and I have a tutor to tutor me at night. In addition, I have to run business and deal with some trivial matters. I didn't say I was tired, so why are you tired?"

Qian Xiaoxiao interjected, "Sister Xin has already completed her freshman year courses and is preparing to take sophomore courses next semester."

Xiao Qiu's eyes almost popped out: "Aunt, you are too amazing."

Xiaoqiu still didn't say anything.

Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin said, "Xiao Qiu, people in the countryside often say that if you have many brothers to support you, your in-laws won't dare to bully you. I think instead of counting on your brothers to support you, you might as well make yourself better and stronger. That way, no matter who you marry into, no one will dare to bully you."

After hearing this, Second Sister Lu slapped the table and said, "Jia Xin, you are right. This brother has married and has his own family. He can't always take care of the sisters' affairs. In the end, he can only rely on himself."

"Xiao Qiu, you should go to night school after the Lantern Festival next year. Since you like selling clothes anyway, you can learn how to make and sell clothes from others. Once you learn, you can sell more clothes. Why are you hanging your head? Look up at me."

Xiao Qiu knew she couldn't escape, so she said depressedly, "I'll go to school in the spring and promise to study hard."

She originally thought that she would not need to study anymore, but she did not expect that she would have to go to school again after making money. She felt a headache when she thought about the contents of the textbooks. Well, if she could put in the same effort as when she took the high school entrance exam, she should be able to pass.

At around 3pm, Wang Xiaojie brought Lu Zhang and Lu Zhenzhen over. Zhenzhen liked Lu Jiaxin very much, and when she saw her, she held her hand tightly and started asking a million questions.

At around ten o'clock, Lu Jiajie brought Qiangqiang and Xiao Feng'er over. This time, when Xiao Feng'er saw Lu Jiaxin, she politely called her aunt.

Lu Jiaxin knew that Lu Jiajie had been taking care of the children for the past six months, and judging from the children's behavior, they were much better than before. Moreover, the two children were very close to Lu Zhang and Zhenzhen, and would surround them as soon as they greeted them.

Hearing the two children's cheerful laughter, Lu Jiaxin said: "Not bad, it seems that you have put in a lot of effort in the past six months, and the two children have not been greatly affected."

Lu Jiajie said with some guilt: "It still had an impact. People at school laughed at me for being a motherless child. I was originally planning to open a store, but after knowing this, I postponed it. Then I personally picked them up and dropped them off at school every day, and I also went to find the parents of the children who bullied Qiangqiang."

One of the parents did not take his words seriously and was later beaten by Qiangqiang and had a broken bone. He was even unwilling to pay for the medical expenses.

Lu Jiaxin felt that he was right and said, "The children feel insecure when their parents separate. Your company and protection make them feel at ease, so they become more cheerful than before."

Lu Jiajie was a little entangled and asked, "Jiaxin, do you think I should continue to take care of them myself next year? I have saved some money, so it doesn't matter if I take another year off."

Lu Jiaxin thought for a moment and said, "You have to ask the two children about this. Don't think that the children don't understand. The two children have been treated differently by the Ma family and have experienced your divorce. They understand more than you think."

"Not only this time, but also in the future, you should tell them both about anything. Let the children know why you are going out of town for business, where you are going and how long it will take to be back. Install a phone at home and call them every day when you are away. Knowing that you love and miss them, the two children will feel at ease and will not be afraid of others' ridicule. They will grow up safely and healthily."

Lu Jiajie nodded repeatedly and agreed, indicating that he would definitely do it.

Seeing that he took her words to heart, Lu Jiaxin was very pleased. He had changed a lot in the past six months and had become more responsible.
