The fact is just as Da Mai said, the Peng family knew very well that they would not be able to get the house and the store, and they said this just to get more compensation.

Lu Shan said: "Mother said that the house and the store were impossible, and if she didn't want to divorce, then she could just drag it out. Aunt Peng finally asked for 20,000 yuan in compensation."

Da Mai screamed, "Twenty thousand dollars? Why don't they just rob them?"

Her family's noodle shop is doing very well, but after deducting costs and labor costs, the monthly profit is only 2,500 to 2,600 yuan. This does not include her and Shanzi's wages and rent. If these are also included, the monthly profit is about 1,700 to 1,800 yuan. They have to work hard for a year to earn 20,000 yuan. My parents' noodle shop is not as big as theirs. Now that they sell more food, the business is affected and they can't make 20,000 yuan a year.

Lu Shan said, "Mom said she didn't have that much money and would give three thousand at most, but Aunt Peng didn't want to cry there, so Dad finally decided to give her ten thousand as compensation."

Da Mai thought that three thousand was a lot, and giving her ten thousand was really too much money. "Just because you saved Dad, you've been taking advantage of him all these years. Shanzi, is this how Mom tolerates it?"

Lu Shan sighed and said, "Mom said she would give us 10,000 yuan, but she put forward a condition, that is, she would write down all the benefits that the Peng family had received from our family over the years, and the three of them would sign and seal it, and from now on, they would have nothing to do with our family anymore."

It was written in black and white that the Peng family could not use favors to ask for benefits in the future. Mrs. Lu had endured a lot of hardship over the years, but she didn't expect that she couldn't escape it even after coming to the Forbidden City. She was unwilling to endure it anymore.

Da Mai thought that if she could buy off the so-called favor with 10,000 yuan, it would be worth it. She asked, "Will the Peng family agree?"

Lu Shan shook his head and said, "They don't agree. Mother said that this marriage was planned by their Peng family and she doesn't agree to sign. She will not be involved in the affairs between Ayun and Peng Xiangye anymore. If Peng Xiangye wants to sue Lu Yun for hooliganism, then she can go ahead and sue him. She won't be involved anymore."

Da Mai thought that Lu Yun and Peng Xiangye had been getting divorced until now, and Lu's second wife hadn't said a word. She was surprised before, but it turned out that she was waiting for them here. Fortunately, her mother-in-law had a plan, otherwise if her father-in-law continued to do this, the little money that the family had worked hard to earn would have all gone to the Peng family.

"They agreed?"

Lu Shan nodded and said, "I agree, but my parents don't have that much money, so they want to borrow 5,000 from us. I said I'll come back to discuss it with you."

Da Mai didn't want to borrow money. She was very happy to live in the family building at first, but after living there for a long time, she still preferred the bungalow. First, the bungalow is spacious, and second, the children won't cry or jump around and be criticized by the neighbors. She wanted to buy a house like Lu Hongjun lived in, but this small courtyard house is very expensive and costs tens of thousands. She is saving money now! If she borrows 5,000, she will have to wait until next year to buy a house.

The price of houses increases every year, and I have to pay a lot more money half a year later. But it is impossible not to lend a penny to my parents-in-law.

The next day, Lu Hongjun picked up Goudan from the Children's Palace and sent him home. Seeing that Damai didn't go to the store and looked unhappy, he asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Shanzi?"

Da Mai shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with Shanzi. The Peng family agreed to the divorce, but they wanted 10,000 yuan as compensation. Dad and Mom agreed, but they didn't have enough money, so they borrowed 5,000 from us."

"Grandpa, I'm not a stingy person. If my second brother did something serious and asked to borrow money, I would definitely not hesitate. But if I lend it to him for divorce, I feel uncomfortable."

Lu Hongjun persuaded: "Your parents are short of money now. When they have more money, they will return the money to you."

Da Mai knew this, but he still felt uncomfortable: "In order to avoid divorce, Peng Xiangye cried and knelt to ask us to adopt Gousheng. When Shanzi and I disagreed, she cursed us. Now she wants to compensate me and I have to help raise the money. This doesn't make sense."

If there hadn't been any previous incident, I would have just borrowed it, since my parents-in-law would pay it back anyway. But after the adoption and curse incident, I really don't want to have anything to do with it.

"Adoption, what adoption?"

After knowing the whole story, Lu Hongjun went out angrily. When he arrived at Xiushui Street, he found Lu Jiazong and scolded him: "Lu Yun is not incapable of having children. What kind of adoption is that? The Peng family saved you in the beginning, but they have given you enough over the years. If you think it's not enough, you can give them this life as compensation, and the whole family will not stop you."

After scolding Lu Jiazong, he scolded Lu Ersao: "They are so powerful at home, but they are worse than a worm outside. They are also asking for 10,000 yuan in compensation? Their whole family is not worth 1,000 yuan. You tell the Peng family that it's only 5,000 yuan. If they are willing to divorce, they can divorce. If they are not willing, they can drag it out. If they dare to make trouble in the store or at home, I will ask the police to arrest them."

That night, Lu Jiaxin received a call saying that Lu Hongjun had hit his waist and was now lying in the hospital.

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Who hit it?"

The person who called was Lu Ersao. She shamefacedly recounted the whole story: "Brother Xiangye came to us to ask for money, and happened to hear Uncle San say that he could only give them 5,000. In anger, he pushed Uncle San, and Uncle San's waist hit the corner of the table. It hurt so much that we rushed him to the hospital."

Lu Jiaxin asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Mrs. Lu said, "The doctor said that he has hit his lumbar spine and needs to stay in bed for a while. Don't worry, I will ask someone to take care of Uncle San, and your second brother and I will visit him every day."

Lu Jiaxin disagreed: "Doesn't he have a wife? How can the people he hire be as caring and considerate as his wife?"

After some hesitation, Mrs. Lu finally agreed.

Lu Jiaxin said, "After Lu Yun gets divorced, let him go back to his hometown. He won't dare to do anything wrong under the supervision of his uncle. If you continue to stay in the city, you won't have a peaceful life."

In Lu Ersao's eyes, Lu Hongjun was angry at Lu Yun because of his injured waist. But it would be better to let him go back to his hometown, out of sight, out of mind. Otherwise, I would be exhausted from working every day and still have to take care of his bullshit. I have been in a bad mood recently, and my chest feels a little uncomfortable.

Mrs. Lu said, "It just so happens that he is going back to go through the divorce procedures with Xiangye. Then let him stay in his hometown, and he can also take care of his grandparents."

Lu Jiaxin hummed and said, "My father's medical expenses, nursing expenses, and nutrition expenses are all paid by the Peng family. If they don't have money, just deduct it from the compensation you give to Peng Xiangye. If they don't agree and dare to make a scene, just ask the police to arrest them. They will behave themselves after being locked up for ten days or half a month."

"good."

Because it was an international call, Mrs. Lu asked about Lu Jiaxin's recent situation, and hung up when she knew that she was fine.

Afterwards, she called her hometown again.

After finishing the call and leaving, Second Sister-in-law Lu said to Lu Jiazong, "Master, I just called my parents and told them about Lu Yun and Xiang Ye. They both agree to divorce, and said that they will let Yun go to see a date after the divorce procedures are completed. This time, I must find a smart, generous and capable girl who can manage the household."

Lu Jiazong was silent in silence.
