Soon, two people came in from outside, opening the curtain. The leader wore a black turban, had rough skin, and a pipe hung from his waist; the next one in wore dark blue clothes and black pants, with a smile on his face.

Lu Jiaxin greeted with a smile: "Second uncle, second aunt."

When Aunt Lu Er entered the room and saw the things on the table, her eyes lit up. She walked up to Lu Jiaxin and enthusiastically pulled her hand and said, "Xinxin, I haven't seen you for a few years. You have grown into a beautiful young lady."

Lu Jiaxin didn't expect her to speak so harshly, and her stomach churned. She resisted the nausea and turned around, covering her head with a painful expression: "Fifth brother, I have a headache."

Uncle Lu remembered that he had a head injury, and when he heard it, he shouted anxiously: "Jia Zong, Jia Zong, hurry up and get a car, let's take Xin Xin to the hospital."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "No, probably can't stand the noise, I'll just take a nap."

Seeing that she was unwilling to go to the hospital, Uncle Lu called everyone in the room out and asked his eldest granddaughter Xiaoqiu to come and accompany Lu Jiaxin to the arranged room.

Seeing Lu Jiaxin hurriedly walk out of the house, Lu Jiajie suddenly realized that Jiaxin was probably making excuses because she didn't want to have much contact with his mother.

Lu Jiaxin couldn't sleep after finishing her meal. She leaned against the bed and looked at Xiaoqiu who looked like a little adult and asked, "Why didn't you go to school?"

When Uncle Lu saw that Lu Jiaguang had made great progress, he asked Lu Hongjun to find a job for his son, no matter which one. Lu Hongjun did not refuse, but only made a request, that is, he must have a high school diploma.

Lu Hongjun knew the importance of culture, so he always told his two brothers to let all the children in the family study. So all the children of the two branches of the Lu family, regardless of gender, went to school.

Xiao Qiu said with a bitter face: "Aunt, studying is too tiring. I worked very hard to get into junior high school. But I couldn't understand a lot of it and almost couldn't graduate."

Because they were of similar age, Xiaoqiu always accompanied her when she went back to her hometown. As expected, Xiaoqiu spoke Mandarin well.

The look in her eyes confirmed that this was a poor student. Lu Jiaxin knew that she couldn't force him to do this: "If you don't want to study, you can still learn a craft."

"Learn a craft? What craft can I learn?"

"You can learn to make clothes, paper-cut, do accounting, or even cook. Once you have a skill, it will be easier to find a job outside and the salary will be higher."

Xiao Qiu laughed and said, "Aunt, even if Third Grandpa helps the family find jobs, they are for my older brother. I'm going to get married in the future, so there won't be any jobs for us."

When he said this, he had no resentment or sadness, and his expression was very calm.

Indeed, if there is a job, the male children in the family will be given priority, after all, the girls will get married in the future. Only when society develops and the times progress, people's thinking will change accordingly. It is useless to say more now.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Now that the national policy has been relaxed, there are many wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong and foreign countries opening factories in Pengcheng, and these factories are recruiting workers. As long as you meet their requirements, you can go to work in the factory."

"Don't you need to find a connection?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't dare to describe Pengcheng too well. Now it's not more than 30 years later. The security in Pengcheng is worrying now. It would be dangerous for a grown girl to go there alone. She smiled and said, "You don't need to find connections. As long as you pass their entrance examination, they will admit you. But it's thousands of miles away from Fengxian. There are many bad guys outside. You can't go there without someone you know well."

Xiao Qiu understood: "There are a lot of bad people out there. You met a bad guy last time, little aunt."

Lu Jiaxin was embarrassed. She didn't expect that she would become a negative example. "Yes, I was too impulsive last time and almost lost my life. But if someone who knows you well can take you to find a job, you can go."

Seeing that Xiaoqiu didn't say anything, she added fuel to the fire: "If you work in the city, you will get a salary every month, and you may even be able to live in the city in the future. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will have to get married in four or five years, and then live the same life as your mother. Not only will you be busy from morning to night, but you will also have no money. You can't even buy candy, toys or nice clothes for your children."

The last two sentences moved Xiao Qiu, but she quickly lowered her head again: "My parents won't agree. They hope that I can marry into a good family."

Lu Jiaxin felt that this was not a problem and said, "If there is such an opportunity in the future, if your parents disagree, tell your uncle. If your uncle also objects, call me and I will talk to them."

Xiaoqiu rolled up the corner of her clothes with her hands, indicating that she was struggling internally.

Lu Jiaxin didn't continue to persuade her. She had to make the final decision herself after saying too much. She also wanted to help Xiaoqiu because she knew she was a simple-minded girl. As for the other people in the Lu family, she wouldn't say much because she was not familiar with them. Sometimes you have good intentions, but others may not think you have good intentions.

After washing up, Uncle Lu went to bed and picked up the portrait given by Lu Jiaxin. He thought about it for a long time but still had no impression of it.

When Aunt Lu finished her work and came into the room, she saw him staring at a portrait of an old woman and her expression changed instantly.

Because she was so angry, she pulled the portrait over and cursed with a dark face: "You old man, you stole chickens and dogs before, but now you have great-grandchildren and you still do these things. You have no shame, but I and my children still have some dignity."

Lu Jiaxin had just laid down when she was startled by a scream outside and sat up. Then she put on her clothes and went out.

Xiaoqiu followed closely behind.

When she got to the yard, she found that everyone was in the yard, and no one came in to stop the fight. She grabbed Lu Guangzong and asked, "Second brother, what happened?"

They were all fine just now, how come they started quarreling so quickly? Generally speaking, when guests come, even if there are conflicts, they will control it.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

Lu Jiaxin knew from their expressions that they were not telling the truth. How could they not know what was going on when they quarreled so loudly? She thought about it and walked over to knock on the door, and asked loudly while knocking, "Uncle, Aunt, can I come in?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened and her aunt handed her a portrait: "Xinxin, your uncle said that the person in this portrait is the human trafficker who abducted you. Is that true?"

Lu Jiaxin asked doubtfully, "Yes, this is the person who kidnapped me. Aunt, do you know this person?"

Seeing her red and swollen eyes, could this person be a relative of her great aunt? However, she quickly denied this guess. If he was a relative of her great aunt, then her great uncle and fifth brother must know him.

Uncle Lu coughed twice and said, "It's getting late, you should go back to your room and go to bed."

Lu Jiaxin was full of doubts, but no one could answer her questions, so she had to go back to her room.
