Uncle Lu frowned when he found out: "This kid, Shanzi and Damai have hands and feet, why do you want her to buy a shop? If they want to buy a shop, let them earn money and buy it themselves."
The aunt also felt that this was not a good idea. People would only cherish what they earned through hard work. If they developed a habit of getting something for nothing too many times, it would harm Shanzi and his wife.
Wang Xiaojie knew their concerns and called Lu Ersao to ask about it. After knowing the reason, she explained it to the old couple: "Dad, Mom, this time it happened for a reason. You can put your worries at ease. Jiaxin is very thorough and the things you are worried about will not happen."
"Dad, Mom, Jiaxin donated a lot to the orphanage after making money. She felt sorry for the orphans and wanted to make their lives better. But the people in the family will help when they are in trouble, but they will not give money or things for no reason."
He offered to lend money to Jiajie because they had no house to live in at the time, but his kindness was blamed by Ma Lili.
The old couple thought so too.
Wang Xiaojie added, "Dad, Mom, Jiaxin encouraged Lu Ping to take the postgraduate entrance exam, and told him to apply to a foreign university after he graduates. As long as the application is successful, she will pay for his tuition and living expenses."
Uncle Lu didn't object this time. Giving money or things will make people lazy, but paying for education so that they can learn skills is good for their future.
Uncle Lu said, "Then let Lu Ping study hard and apply to a foreign university. Once he learns good skills abroad, he can return and serve the country."
He doesn't want his children to settle abroad, as he thinks it is a betrayal of their ancestors. But he is very supportive of them going abroad to learn skills and give back to society.
Wang Xiaojie smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, it's good for you to know about this, don't tell Pingping. Zijiaxin told him about this, and now he is working very hard without us urging him."
The eldest aunt said, "Then you have to make Pingping remember how kind his aunt was. She bought him a watch and some supplements, and promised to pay for his education. What other aunt could take care of him like this?"
Wang Xiaojie agreed.
After talking it out, the old couple felt relieved. Then Uncle Lu went to find Lu Hongjun and told him about it.
Uncle Lu said, "You said Jiaxin only cared about others and ignored her family. Third brother, it's you who cared about others and ignored her family, not Jiaxin."
Having been the village party secretary for more than 20 years, Uncle Lu still has a high level of awareness. He thinks that Lu Jiaxin's ability to give back to society is something to be praised. At the same time, she also helps her family members and makes their lives more prosperous, which is enough. If you want to give money or gifts, he will scold you.
Lu Hongjun's first reaction was disbelief. He said, "Brother, you said Jiaxin gave Shanzi a shop. Are you kidding me?"
Uncle Lu felt that if he stayed in Beijing, he would be pissed off by his brother sooner or later: "The shop is under Shanzi's name, how can this be true? No wonder Jiaxin doesn't want to forgive you. If it were me, I wouldn't care about you either. You are so sincere to outsiders, but so mean to your own children."
Seeing him breathing heavily, Lu Hongjun dared not say anything more: "Brother, don't be angry. Jiaxin is a good child and is willing to give up for her family. I wronged her."
Hearing this, Uncle Lu calmed down a little: "Jia Xin helped the Jia Zong family and made them live a prosperous life now. It was also because of Jia Xin's kindness that Jia Zong's wife agreed to let Shan Zi be adopted. Otherwise, she would never agree to what you did before."
Uncle Lu said, "Third brother, Jiaxin is the most promising child in our Lu family. This child also takes care of the family. If Jiaguang and Jiajie have any problems in the future, she will not sit idly by. Even Pingping and An'an will have a good future with her guidance."
"Third brother, Jiaxin has done well enough. As a father, you should stop making things difficult for her. Otherwise, I will be the first one to disagree."
Until now, Lu Hongjun dared not embarrass Lu Jiaxin. Not to mention Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, even his nephews and grandnieces would turn against him if he dared to do so. It must be said that this girl was capable of this.
Lu Hongjun immediately stated: "Brother, I was blinded by greed before, but I won't do that again. If I don't do it, you can beat me with a cane, and I won't run away."
Uncle Lu's anger disappeared.
Tang Sufen soon heard about this. She didn't believe it at first and said to the aunt who told her, "Shops are so expensive nowadays, how is this possible?"
The aunt said with a smile: "I asked your niece's wife, and she admitted it herself. Sufen, Miss Lu is so generous, you are so lucky."
He said she was lucky, but in fact he looked down on her. Everyone in the alley knew that this woman married Lao Lu for money and a house. Although he looked down on her, he envied her for being able to live in such a spacious house with her children. They were not like them, with more than a dozen people squeezed into two rooms.
Tang Sufen felt very upset when she heard this. She originally thought that Lu Jiaxin was easy to control, but later she found out that this girl was very scheming. Knowing that she couldn't snatch the house away, she pushed the big house to that shrew, saying that she bought the big house for Old Lu to live in. But this house was bought by her and written in her name. After Old Lu passed away, she would definitely take it back, and the house in the family compound was occupied by Lu Shan's family and could not be snatched back.
It’s not like she didn’t make a scene before, and even threatened to divorce him, but she didn’t expect that Lao Lu would change his attitude and actually agree to divorce. She was just threatening Lao Lu to make him compromise, not really wanting a divorce. The younger daughter and son were still in school, and the older son was occupying the two rooms and didn’t want to give them up. She had no choice but to promise the second son that she would save money to buy two rooms for the young couple. If they divorced, the two younger ones wouldn’t be able to study, and she wouldn’t be able to fulfill her promise to the second son. More importantly, if they divorced, they would have to move out, and by then they wouldn’t even have a place to live, and would have to rent a house, and they wouldn’t have that much money.
When Lu Hongjun came back from walking his bird in the park, Tang Sufen asked, "I heard that Jiaxin bought a shop for Shanzi. Is this true?"
Lu Hongjun hung two thrush birds under the eaves and said with a smile, "It's true. I've been to that shop. It's not only in a good location, but also large in size."
"It's so big, it must cost a lot of money, right?"
Lu Hongjun nodded and said, "Yes, I asked someone and found out that a shop next door that is smaller than this one costs more than 70,000. With this shop, Shanzi doesn't have to go to Xiushui Street to help anymore and can open his own noodle shop."
Tang Sufen's eyes were red with jealousy: "Old Lu, what kind of business does Jiaxin do? How come she has so much money?"
Lu Hongjun teased the bird and said casually, "She is engaged in clothing and foreign trade business. She has a talent for clothing design, and now the foreign trade business is also profitable."
