He was walking slowly in the big house with five courtyards and a garden. It was already past seven o'clock when he finished walking around. Sitting in the pavilion in the back garden, he asked, "When will Jiaxin leave?"

Xing Ziyang said: "The boss's plane at nine o'clock has already left."

"She left. Why didn't you tell me? I'll go see her off."

Xing Ziyang knew about the grudge between him and Lu Jiaxin, but he didn't feel sorry for him. The boss was such a kind-hearted person, how could he ignore him if he wasn't disappointed?

"Old man, breakfast is already prepared in the kitchen, let's go have breakfast!"

"Is the cook still here?"

Xing Ziyang smiled and said, "The cook will work until the end of this month. Old sir, the cook's skills are pretty good, especially the braised beef, which is a must."

Coming to work here, the food is really good. There is meat every day, chicken, duck, fish, beef, etc. He felt a little sad when he thought of the four brothers who were fired. He had always advised them to learn Cantonese, but they felt that it was useless and the boss' words were just to coax them. The day before yesterday, he regretted it so much that he and Zhang Kun could go to Hong Kong City. But there was nothing he could do. He had fought for the most difficult thing but was rejected.

The braised beef was indeed delicious, but the cook knew that she was not in good health and only gave him five slices. She just packed a big box for him when he was leaving and told him to put it in the refrigerator so that it would last longer.

Lu Hongjun thanked the cook with a smile.

The cook hesitated for a moment and said, "Old comrade, I have a few more words to say today. Children brought by step-daughters-in-law and adopted children are unreliable. If you want to live well in your old age, you have to rely on your own children."

"My eldest brother is like this. When he was young, he left his wife and children behind to raise a widow's children. The widow's children kicked him out of the house after they started their own families. Now he is sick and wants my nephews and nieces to take care of him. No one cares about him."

Lu Hongjun nodded to show that he understood.

Xing Ziyang took him back to the front yard to rest and said, "The car will be back soon. Wait a moment and I'll drive you back."

Hearing this, Lu Hongjun couldn't help but ask: "Now that Ms. Gu has returned to Gangcheng, this house is empty. Where is the car? Is it just left in the house?"

Xing Ziyang said, "The boss will come back in the future, and the car will definitely not be sold. If you need to use the car for something, you can call the guard in advance. There will be someone guarding the house, and they can drive, so just ask them to take you there when the time comes."

Lu Hongjun thanked him for his kindness, but still refused: "Little brother, if Jiaxin knew about this, she would punish you."

Xing Ziyang laughed and said, "Old sir, everything in this house belongs to the boss. It's up to the boss to decide whether to use it or not and how to use it. I dare not make the decision on my own. The boss left this car for you to use, but it's only for you and it has to be something urgent."

"good."

At about half past nine, Wang Lin drove back.

Xing Ziyang was a little surprised: "Wang Lin, why didn't you follow me back to Hong Kong City?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "My boss gave me half a month's leave to visit my family. After I sent the old man off, I went to the train station to buy a ticket."

Xing Ziyang said, "Train tickets are hard to buy now. I have a friend who works at the train station. I asked him for help. Which day do you want to buy tickets, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"It will be all right."

The two men sent Lu Hongjun home and went to buy a ticket.

Lu Hongjun said unhappily, "What money and things? Are you crazy about money?"

"Besides, she is my own daughter, so it is only natural that I give my things to her. Who are you showing your sullen face to? Do you think you should give it to you, or to Huang Jianjun and the others? Tang Sufen, their last name is Huang, not Lu. My money and things have nothing to do with them."

"Tang Sufen, if you continue to be so unreasonable, there's no point in living like this. It would be better to separate earlier so that we can have peace and quiet."

After hearing this, Tang Sufen didn't dare to make trouble anymore. But she was very unwilling, so she turned around and told Lu Jiazong about it, saying that Lu Hongjun gave all the money and things to Lu Jiaxin.

Tang Sufen said hypocritically: "My children have the surname Huang, not Lu. I can understand why he didn't give me one, but Lu Shan was adopted by the third house. Since ancient times, things have been left to the male members of the family, not to the daughters who married out."

Lu Jiazong was so angry that he almost went to find Lu Hongjun, but he still had some sense and just went home to sulk. When Lu Ersao came home, he angrily told her about this matter: "We agreed that she didn't want Uncle San's things, so we let Shanzi be adopted by the third house. Now she has taken all the things and money, what does this mean?"

Mrs. Lu's expression changed slightly: "Jia Xin is back?"

Lu Jiazong became even angrier. How could he not grasp the point? He said unhappily, "How can you take away Third Uncle's things and money if you don't come back?"

"Who told you this?"

"Aunt Tang."

Mrs. Lu mocked, "Aunt Tang, Aunt Tang, she is one year younger than you, you can call her sister."

Lu Jiazong's face turned pale and he asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she scolded him: "Is your brain full of tofu dregs? Jiaxin has donated tens of millions and funded poor children in the clan to go to school. Do you think she will take the money from Uncle San?"

"Tang Sufen told you all this specifically to sow discord between our family and Jiaxin. She's so old that she can't even see through such a small plot."

Lu Jiazong was scolded so much that he dared not say a word.

Mrs. Lu didn't want to pay attention to her, so she went into the house and called Wang Xiaojie. Then she found out that Lu Jiaxin had returned five days ago and had gone to Lu Jiaguang's house for dinner, but had not notified them.

Wang Xiaojie sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, we didn't mean to not tell you. It was Jiaxin who told us not to tell you. Sister-in-law, Jiaxin must be angry about the adoption."

Second Sister-in-law Lu explained, "Sister-in-law, the reason why I didn't tell Third Uncle Jiaxin and you was that I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the trouble with the Peng family. I didn't really intend to let Gousheng be adopted. I didn't expect the matter to become so serious that Third Uncle was hospitalized."

Wang Xiaojie said: "I know you are not as confused as Lao Er, but from Jiaxin's perspective, it is understandable that she is angry."

Let's not talk about the house in the family compound for now. Jia Xin gave Lu Shan such a big shop because he was adopted by the third wife and became the heir of the third wife. Even if you don't plan to really adopt him, you should let us know. Otherwise, who knows what you are thinking.

Mrs. Lu hummed and said, "I didn't think this through carefully. Don't blame Jiaxin."

If she wants to blame someone, she should blame her stupid husband. She didn't feel anything at home, but when she got here, she felt that he was so stupid that she was so angry.
