Seeing the two people busy and sweating, Lu Jiaxin went into the house, picked up a green watermelon, washed it and cut it. With one cut, the bright red flesh and black seeds were exposed.

Lu Jiaxin invited the two to come over and eat watermelon. While waiting for them to wash their hands, she ate a piece first. Well, the flesh is delicate and juicy, sweet but not greasy, refreshing and thirst-quenching.

Xue Mao took a small piece, took a bite and praised repeatedly: "Sister, this watermelon is so sweet."

Seeing him like this, Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "There are three more watermelons. Take them all with you tomorrow and eat them slowly on the way."

She was weak, and usually only ate one piece of cold food like watermelon, and could not eat more. She told the doctor that she needed a year of treatment before she could get better, and when she returned from Pengcheng, she would stay in Sijiucheng and take care of her health.

Xue Mao did not refuse.

Lu Jiaxin put down the watermelon peel and said to Gu Wenfeng, "Brother Gu, where does Sun Xun's family live now? Are his wife and children having a hard time now?"

Xue Mao asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you asking about them?"

Lu Jiaxin said, "If life is tough, I want to help his wife and children! If it weren't for me, his wife and children would still be living here instead of moving out and renting a house."

After Sun Xun died in the previous life, his wife Liu Xiaoyue did not remarry. But as far as she knew, Liu Xiaoyue only raised three children. But now there are six children, and the other three children have either been given away or died young.

In her previous life, Liu Xiaoyue was able to raise three children because of this house. Now the house is gone, the money is gone, and the three children can no longer be raised. She can't let her mother and children deviate from their original trajectory and be unable to live because of her appearance. If so, she will feel guilty.

Gu Wenfeng said, "I've been busy with the house these days. I'll go and ask about it tomorrow."

Lu Jiaxin was still very confident in his work.

Xue Mao wanted to go back. She thought that Uncle Lu and his wife were still in Sijiu City, so she told him, "If Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu live at home after you go back, just kick them out."

Normal people would not do such a thing, but this does not include Lu Erbo and his wife. These two are stupid and greedy, and they can do anything weird. If it weren't for Lu Jiajie, she would not pay attention to these two people.

When Xue Mao heard this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, sister, if they really live in our house, I will definitely drive them out."

He was kicked out of his home at the age of eleven, and he survived by relying on his ruthlessness. If anyone dared to steal his things, he would fight with all his might.

Lu Jiaxin said, "Just scare them, don't take it seriously. Although Second Uncle and his men are not that great, we can't go too far for Fifth Brother's sake."

"I know."

At around seven o'clock the next day, a truck stopped at the gate as agreed. Gu Wenfeng and Xue Mao carried the fruit, while Lu Jiaxin carried the luggage.

When she got outside, she found that in addition to the driver, there were two burly men on the train. It seemed that this batch of goods was very valuable, otherwise they would not have arranged for someone to escort it.

The public security has been poor in recent years, and it is dangerous to travel long distances. Now that there are two grown men following Xue Mao, she feels more at ease.

Six baskets of fruit were loaded onto the car, and the car was about to leave. Xue Mao said reluctantly, "Sister, you should also pay attention to safety on the road. The weather is getting colder now, don't get cold."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't get cold even if I'm wearing short sleeves over there. Okay, get in the car quickly. I'm not a three-year-old child. I can take care of myself."

"Don't worry, I'll let you know I'm safe as soon as I get there."

After sending Xue Mao away, Gu Wenfeng went out to inquire about the news. When he came back, he heard Lu Jiaxin reading English while standing outside the door.

Gu Wenfeng feels that with this enthusiasm for study, he will definitely be able to get into university even if he repeats his studies next year, and he will be able to get into a good university.

After Lu Jiaxin closed the door, she asked, "How are Sun Xun's wife and children now?"

"It's very bad." Gu Wenfeng said truthfully.

Sun Xun sold his house because he owed more than a thousand dollars in gambling debts. If he didn't pay it back, his hands and feet would be cut off. In order to save himself, he had to buy a house. However, after paying off the gambling debts, he didn't have much money left.

After listening to his story, Lu Jiaxin realized that Sun Xun only gave his wife 100 yuan. Even this money was only obtained after his wife made a scene.

Lu Jiaxin was a little puzzled. In his previous life, Sun Xun must have owed such a huge debt. How did he get away with it? But soon Lu Jiaxin thought that it was probably because the crackdown was intensified and the casino owner was arrested that this bastard escaped.

Gu Wenfeng said: "Sun Xun's wife took several children to the factory to find the leader, who had no choice but to clean up a storage room for them. But Sun Xun did not take the money home. In order to support several children, she found a job taking care of the elderly. In order to save money, the two older ones went to the market to pick vegetable leaves to eat at home."

At this point, he couldn't help but say a few more words: "Miss Lu, you must keep your eyes open when you marry. If you marry the wrong person, you will have a hard life."

Sun Xun's wife married the wrong man, and now her life is no different from soaking in coptis. And with six children, she and Sun Xun can't break off their relationship.

Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, "Brother Gu, some people are good at disguising themselves. They have one face in front of people and another face behind people. It's hard to tell before marriage. But it doesn't matter. If I find out that the good side of the other person is just a disguise after marriage, I will stop the loss in time."

No one can guarantee that they will live happily after getting married. This does not necessarily mean that the other person has bad character or bad habits, but it is also possible that the two of them have different personalities or values. This is nothing, if you find that you are not compatible, you can just divorce.

Gu Wenfeng stared at it for a moment, then said, "If you don't have children, it's right to cut your losses in time. If you have children, you still have to think carefully."

Lu Jiaxin has heard this kind of talk many times: "Why should I think carefully? I am not happy myself, and my child will definitely feel it. I don't think a child who grows up in a family without love will be happy."

"The child will be with his father. Aren't you worried that he will be abused by his stepmother like you?"

If the child follows the father, there will be many conflicts if the father remarries. It is not that stepmothers are necessarily bad, but there are many conflicts in the combined family, and the children will suffer the most if the balance is not well balanced.

Lu Jiaxin said without thinking: "I have my own house and the ability to make money. If we get divorced, the child must stay with me."

In fact, as long as women are financially independent, divorce is not a big deal. The most difficult thing is that women have no income and rely on men for support. They want to divorce but cannot support themselves and their children. That is the most tragic.

Gu Wenfeng smiled and said, "With your ability, you can give your child a good life. I was too nosy."
