Uncle Lu and his aunt came early in the morning. Ding Xiaoxia's grave had been moved to Gangcheng, and Lu Jiaxin didn't know when she would be able to come back next time, so they all came to see her off.
Seeing her aunt's tears welling up in her eyes, Lu Jiaxin and her second sister-in-law also had tears in their eyes. She smiled and said, "Uncle, aunt, transportation is more convenient now than before. If you miss me, you can stay here for a while."
She won't come back unless there is something wrong. It takes two or three days to go back and forth, and she can't stand such trouble.
The eldest aunt grabbed her hand and said with a sob: "When you get there, if someone bullies you, you must call your family and tell them. Don't bear everything by yourself."
"Don't worry, Auntie! No one dares to bully me now."
Hong Kong is the world of the rich. She had avoided the He family in the past because of many concerns, but now that the He family has collapsed and she has accumulated a large amount of wealth, no one would mess with her for no reason.
The eldest aunt knew that the Nie family was powerful and was not aware of her wealth. She hesitated and said, "Jia Xin, I heard that rich men in Hong Kong City would marry several wives. If that Nie is also like this, you must not swallow your anger. Although we are not as rich as them, we cannot bear to be bullied."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't bully me. Aunt, you and uncle are not in good health, so stay in Sijiu City and don't go back."
The aunt refused and said, "The crops at home are still waiting for me and your uncle to go back and harvest them! And the big spotted pigs I raised gave birth to a litter of piglets a while ago, but Jiayao and his wife couldn't get them."
Lu Jiaxin knew that they had already gotten used to that piece of land. Unless they couldn’t move, they would definitely go back and no one could stop them: “Then you and uncle can do some easy work, and leave the heavy work to Brother Jiayao.”
The flight was at 9:40, and Gu Wenfeng came over again to remind them that it was time to leave, otherwise they would miss the flight. The aunt said nothing more, and told Lu Jiaxin to take good care of herself when she got there.
When she was about to get in the car, Uncle Lu said, "Jia Xin, come back to see your father when you have time. Even if he is wrong in many ways, he is still your father and he worked hard to raise you."
Mrs. Lu felt that it was inappropriate to say this in this situation, but since Uncle Lu was so powerful, she did not dare to refute him.
Lu Jiaxin's attitude remained unchanged. She would ensure that Lu Hongjun would have no worries about food and clothing in his later years, and that he would receive the best treatment if he was ill. But it was impossible for her to take him to her side to take care of him or be a caring daughter. She didn't have the feelings for him.
Gu Wenfeng didn't want the Lu family to use blood ties to kidnap Lu Jiaxin, so he deliberately urged, "Jiaxin, hurry up, it will be too late if you don't leave now."
Mrs. Lu was afraid that she would say more, so she urged, "Yes, Jiaxin, hurry up and leave. Don't delay the plane."
After the car left, Uncle Lu and Auntie went to visit Gu Xiuxiu. But she didn't recognize either of them and was not willing to talk to them.
On the way back, Auntie and Uncle Lu said, "Old man, you don't have to worry about Hongjun. Ms. Gu only took care of Jiaxin for a while, and Jiaxin arranged her in the big house and hired so many people to take care of her. Hongjun has held her in his hands since she was a child, and he will not ignore her in the future."
Mrs. Lu interrupted, "Dad, don't worry about it. Uncle San's pension is so high, Tang Sufen will definitely take good care of him. Even if Tang Sufen can't be trusted, she still has Shanzi and Damai. Someone will take care of her when she gets old."
"Can it be the same?"
Of course, Second Sister-in-law Lu knew that it was different. She did not dare to refute Uncle Lu, but just said, "Dad, Third Uncle did such a thing, and it is not something that can be resolved by your words of blood dissolving in water. Jia Xin promised to guarantee his old age, which is already considering the grace of giving birth and raising him. You want her to be filial to Third Uncle like me and the head of the family are filial to you, that is too much to ask."
Uncle Lu glanced at Second Sister-in-law Lu and said nothing more.
When Lu Jiaxin arrived in Pengcheng, she called Su Heming. Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was his assistant, who said that he had returned to Sijiucheng. She knew without asking that it was because of Su Hongying. Alas, she just hoped that nothing happened and she was overthinking.
After Xue Mao received Lu Jiaxin's call, he asked the chef for leave and went to Lu Jiaxin's place. This time, the place she lived in had a spacious yard.
Of course Lu Jiaxin would not refuse, and then asked him how he was doing in the restaurant. Every time he asked before, he said it was good, but this time Xue Mao said he was going to resign.
"What happened at the restaurant?"
Xue Mao nodded and said, "My master was hit by someone while working and his foot was injured. He needs to recover for a while. When the boss found out, he hired another master chef and fired my master."
From the boss's perspective, this is not wrong. It takes a hundred days to recover from an injury. You can't close the restaurant just because you are recovering from an injury. The chef we hired has worked for a few months, and the customers are familiar with his skills. It's impossible to replace him casually.
"Is the new chef treating you badly?"
Xue Mao shook his head and said, "The new master chef is very polite to me, but he is not nice to my senior brothers. He always finds fault with them. The first and second senior brothers are planning to resign and start their own business. They want me to join them."
Lu Jiaxin frowned and said, "So are they running a big hotel or a small restaurant?"
When Lu Jiaxin heard that they were going to open a big restaurant, she did not recommend him to resign: "Being able to cook is not the same as managing a restaurant. You should stay in this restaurant."
Xue Mao was a little embarrassed: "But I have already promised my brothers and sisters."
Lu Jiaxin didn't like Xue Mao's so-called senior brothers at all: "You can go and work there, but don't invest any money, just get a salary."
This time Xue Mao agreed without any hesitation.
Lu Jiaxin added: "When your senior brothers' restaurant goes bankrupt, don't work here anymore. Go to work in Hong Kong City. That way, I can take care of you."
I couldn't take care of myself in the past two years, but now it's different, I can take care of him.
Xue Mao felt that his words were too absolute: "Sister Xin, my brothers and sisters are very good at cooking, so the restaurant business will definitely be very good."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "If you open a small restaurant, that's fine, but it's not that easy to open a big restaurant. First of all, you have to know how to run it. Secondly, if there are too many partners, there will be different opinions. Who should I listen to then?"
"Su Heyuan and I were partners, but we both withdrew because of different ideas. You have several good brothers, do you think you can reach a unified opinion?"
Of course, nothing is absolute. Maybe one of his senior brothers is good at business and can make the final decision, and then the business will be prosperous, but the probability is very low.
Xue Mao was at a loss when he heard this.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Shanzi arrived in Pengcheng. He felt relieved when he saw Lu Jiaxin. He had been very nervous all the way, fearing that he might run into bandits or bad guys.
Seeing that his beard had grown out, Lu Jiaxin said that he had worked hard and asked him to go back to his room to rest: "We will cross the harbor tomorrow morning, so have a good rest tonight."
Before leaving the next day, Lu Jiaxin called Nie Zhan and then went to the port. Shanzi was still worried that they would be stopped, after all, they were carrying two skeletons, but they didn't expect to have a smooth journey.
