Chapter 369: Going to the Tomb Sweeping



After visiting Lu Jiaxin's five-story house, Second Sister Lu understood why she didn't want the house in the family compound. The two were completely incomparable, and if it were her, she wouldn't be willing to bother with the small house.

Lu Zhang said, "Mom, my aunt's house is almost the same as Prince Gong's mansion."

Sister Lu was the calmest one: "Prince Gong's Mansion belongs to the country, and this house is your sister-in-law's private property."

Jia Xin donated more than 20 million yuan! Compared to that money, this house is nothing. She was wondering why Jia Xin was so willing to spend so much! After the tour, Second Sister Lu asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, do you think we should go visit Ms. Gu? She came all the way here, wouldn't it be impolite not to visit her after entering the house?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "Jia Xin has told us not to disturb Ms. Gu, so let's not go. Besides, even if we want to visit, we should buy some tonics. It's not polite to visit like this."

When Lu Jiaxin told them not to disturb Ms. Gu, Mrs. Lu felt something was wrong. But since the children were all there, it was not easy to ask, so she decided to ask what was going on later away from the children.

Seeing that she disagreed, Mrs. Lu did not continue the topic: "After such a long time, Jiaxin should have finished her breakfast. Let's go find her. It's quite far to the suburbs, so the sooner we go, the sooner we can return."

Lu Jiaxin was waiting in the main hall, and when she saw them she called them out.

When they arrived at the gate, they found a car, a taxi and a small truck parked at the gate. The truck's compartment was covered with a tarpaulin, and there were many stools inside.

There was no other way, there were too many people. Lu Jiaguang's family of six, Lu Jiazong's family of six, including his wife and Xiaoqiu, Lu Shan and his two children; Lu Jiajie also brought Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng'er. It was also because Lu Shan's youngest son was only a few months old, otherwise he would have gone with them.

These twenty-one people, plus the four people on Lu Jiaxin's side, need six or seven cars or taxis. This is not in Hong Kong. A car can be sent immediately after a phone call to the car dealership. It is impossible to rent so many cars here without prior arrangement. Of course, you can find someone, but Lu Jiaxin doesn't want to owe someone a favor for such a small matter.

Lu Jiaxin arranged for Lu Dasao and Lu Ersao to take Lu Shan's two children to sit in a taxi, while Lu Jiaguang sat in the front; Lu Jiajie took Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng to sit in a car, while she sat in the front. Lu Jiazong and Lu An all sat in the truck compartment.

We used to take the bus, which was very crowded when there were many people. Now we have a small truck to take us, and the tarpaulin covers us so we are not exposed to the wind or the sun, and we are very satisfied.

Lu Jiajie looked at the brand new car and asked with some envy: "Jiaxin, did you buy this car? How much did it cost?"

Lu Jiaxin said, "It cost 128,000 Chinese Yuan. My aunt was going to live in the city for a while, and it would be inconvenient without a car, so I asked someone to buy one for her."

She felt that after living here for a month, not to mention Gu Xiuxiu, Mei Gu and Hong Gu might not want to go back to Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong was prosperous and wealthy, they basically never went out except to sell vegetables or have something to do, and they spent most of the year in the villa. The villa was only about 600 square meters in total, which was completely incomparable to this place.

It's different here in Sijiucheng. Not only are the houses very big, but there are also many parks and ancient buildings. On weekdays, I drive Gu Xiuxiu to the park and look at the ancient buildings. It's leisurely and comfortable. If you don't want to go out, you can pay someone to sing opera, Huangmei Opera, Peking Opera, Yue Opera, storytelling, etc. As long as you have money, you can hire someone. With the same living expenses, the quality of life in Sijiucheng can be improved by two levels.

Lu Jiajie was a little surprised and asked, "Ms. Gu is going to live in Sijiu City for a while? Is she used to staying here?"

Lu Jiaxin did not hide it from her and said, "My aunt has Alzheimer's disease, which is called senile dementia here. The villa in Gangcheng is too small to move around, and the house here is big, so I brought her here."

Lu Jiaxin likes to sleep when she gets on the bus, so that she can arrive at her destination when she wakes up. This time was no exception. She leaned back in the seat, closed her eyes, and fell asleep quickly. However, the road in the suburbs was quite bumpy, and she was woken up halfway.

The road got bumpier and bumpier as we went further back, and Lu Jiaxin's butt hurt. It was like this every time she came to visit the graves. She muttered, "I wonder when this road will be repaired?"

Lu Jiajie immediately responded: "The project has been approved, and the road will be built soon."

Lu Jiaxin hummed and asked, "How are you doing recently? Is your business going well?"

"Not bad. Home appliances are very popular in Sijiu City right now, so I deal in them and sell them. Now that I have saved some money, I plan to open a store in Sijiu City to sell home appliances."

Lu Jiaxin felt that he had improved a lot. From the 1980s to the mid-1990s, selling home appliances basically made money: "Selling home appliances is quite profitable. But if you are going to sell home appliances, you must have a complete range of home appliances, including color TVs, black and white TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. If you are famous, people will like to buy from your store."

Lu Jiajie said that he could get refrigerators and washing machines from Hong Kong, and customers preferred imported goods because they thought they were of better quality. But this idea was not wrong. To be honest, the quality of foreign home appliances is indeed better now.

Lu Jiaxin felt that he had been through a lot and didn't need to say anything about business matters. She asked, "You should know about the report on my brother, right?"

"I know. That Xu guy is a piece of shit. My eldest brother treated him like a brother, but he stabbed me in the back."

Lu Jiaxin said, "I remember you had a lot of brothers before. At that time, you lived in Yue's house and were inferior to them in every aspect. But now you have made a lot of money, bought two houses one after another, and even hired an aunt to do the laundry and cooking at home. You have such a big distance from them, are you sure these people will not be jealous of you, and will not stab you if they get the chance?"

She once read a sentence that said, "Brothers are afraid of your poverty and also afraid of your wealth." This sentence reveals the complexity of human nature.

Lu Jiajie didn't dare to guarantee it either.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Brother, I had anticipated this and informed others. You should be more careful in the future and don't be cheated by your so-called brothers."

Lu Jiajie nodded and said, "I know."

The weather was good that day, and I drove by myself, so I arrived at the cemetery in more than an hour. There is no holiday for Qingming Festival, but there are still many people here today. Seeing so many people, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, who is this family? There are so many people, the family is too prosperous.
