Lu Jiajie didn't want to be bullied anymore. Seeing Ma's mother trying to drive them away, he didn't back down anymore: "Okay, I'll move now."

After that, he carried Xiao Feng'er into the house to pack up. Ma Lili went to pick up her son and came home. Lu Jiajie had already packed the clothes and bedding.

Ma Lili was horrified and asked, "Jiajie, what are you doing?"

Lu Jiajie told the story just now, and then said: "In the past few months, your eldest sister mocked me for being a gigolo and said in a sarcastic tone that I wanted to occupy your house. I endured all this. But Xiao Feng'er was bullied like this today, and your mother didn't protect her and even slandered her for lying. I can't continue to live here even if I have to sleep on the street with my child."

Little Feng'er was so scared that she started crying again: "Dad, I don't want to sleep on the street. There are bad people on the street. The bad people will kidnap Feng'er and break her hands and feet to make her a beggar. Dad, I don't want to be a beggar."

Ma Lili was stunned: "Feng'er, who told you this?"

When Ma Lili heard that it was the fat boy who said that, she got so angry that she went out to find Ma's mother.

Lu Jiajie held back his anger, picked up his daughter and coaxed her, saying, "Let's not sleep on the street. Let's go stay at your aunt's place for a few days."

Qiangqiang cried and grabbed Lu Jiajie, telling him not to leave him.

Lu Jiajie touched his son's head and said, "Don't worry, Dad will definitely not abandon you. If we want to go, we will go together."

Ma Lili was arguing with her mother when she saw Lu Jiajie walking in front, dragging a suitcase in one hand and carrying a luggage bag in the other, while Qiangqiang followed behind holding his daughter's hand.

Lu Jiajie said with a gloomy face: "Lili, if you don't want to leave, then stay. There is no room for me and my two children to stay here. If you continue to stay, I don't know what will happen to the two children."

When he knew that Sister Ma proposed to change the little fat boy's surname to Ma and his parents' attitude changed, he wanted to rent a house. It was Ma Lili who was worried that Sister Ma and her husband would cheat, and her child went to school nearby, so she was reluctant to rent a house. But now, she had to move.

Ma's mother was furious when she heard this: "Lu Jiajie, I have raised these two children with all my heart and soul. Whenever there is something good in the family, it is given to them first. You are so heartless to say this now."

It was also because he was grateful for the couple's hard work in helping to raise the two children that he did all the dirty and tiring work at home over the years and solved all the troubles that arose.

Lu Jiajie said coldly, "Since Yan Jixiang moved in, I know how you treat my two children, and the two children know it even better. There is no need to say more. Today, as you wish, we will move out."

Ma Lili walked over and picked up Xiaofeng, then took Qiangqiang's hand and walked out with Lu Jiajie. She didn't hear her mother calling her when she went down the stairs. She was very sad, as it showed that her parents were determined to drive them away.

When they got downstairs, Ma Lili said with red eyes, "It's inappropriate for us to live with Xinxin without her consent, right?"

Lu Jiajie wiped his face and said, "It's okay, just stay here for a few days. I'll rent a house tomorrow."

After renting the house, you have to clean it up, which will take at least three or four days.

Ma Lili was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't rent a house, just buy it directly."

Lu Jiajie understood what she meant. If they bought a house before moving out, they would have to live there for a longer time. “It’s okay. Before Jiaxin left, she told me that she couldn’t live here anymore, so she took you to live with her temporarily.”

"Jia Xin really said that?"

"When did I ever coax you?"

Ma Lili wiped her tears and said, "Okay, let's move now. Uncle Peng has a tricycle, let's borrow his tricycle."

Xue Mao was shocked to see a family of four standing at the door carrying large and small bags. "Brother Jie, what happened?"

Lu Jiajie briefly told the story of Xiao Feng'er being bullied and Ma's mother driving people away. Although he was a grown man, his voice was choked with sobs as he spoke.

Xue Mao was very angry when he heard this. Xiao Feng'er was so cute, how could he just watch her being bullied and do nothing? He didn't know how hard-hearted her grandmother was.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Jiajie said, "Don't worry, Xiaomao. I will go to look for a house tomorrow and buy one and move out as soon as possible. I will stay here for the next few days."

Xue Mao came back to his senses and said, "Brother Jie, buying a house is a lifelong event and you can't rush it. You have to take your time to look around and make sure you pick the right one."

"Brother Jie, you are Sister Xin's brother. It's okay for you to stay here as long as you want. I believe Sister Xin would say the same thing here."

Seeing that the two children's eyes were red and swollen, especially Xiao Feng'er's eyes were severely swollen, obviously she had been crying for a long time. He washed the hands of the two children and brought them a bowl of dates to eat.

Seeing that they didn't take any, Xue Mao smiled and said, "Your aunt bought these dates from the ancient capital specifically for you. They are very sweet, I guarantee you'll want more after you eat them."

Xiao Feng'er looked up and asked, "Did my aunt really buy it?"

With delicious food, the two children quickly forgot about the unpleasantness just now. Ma Lili saw that Lu Jiaxin was still thinking about the two children in the ancient capital, and thought that it should be okay to stay temporarily.

After get off work, Lu Jiaguang went to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet. When he arrived, Lu Hongjun was already there. The first thing he said when he saw him was, "Jiajie has been back for half a month. How long will she stay there?"

This time he went to see Lu Hongjun not only to tell him the news he had just received, but Lu Jiaguang also wanted to persuade him not to be partial to the mother and daughter anymore.

When Lu Hongjun found out that Lu Jiaxin was selling paintings, he was shocked and angry: "She is crazy about money."

Lu Jiaguang's face darkened. How could a father say this to his daughter? "Uncle San, was Jiaxin like this before? No, who caused her to become like this now?"

Seeing his sullen face, Lu Hongjun softened his tone, "I asked someone to check, and it was Jiaxin who said she was tired of staying in the city and wanted to go out to relax. Her return to her hometown has nothing to do with your Aunt Ding and Siyi."

"What about Jia Xin's failure in the college entrance examination? It was caused by both mother and daughter."

Lu Hongjun still sided with Ding Jing: "This matter has nothing to do with your Aunt Ding. She only found out about it later. Jiaguang, your Aunt Ding is a very good person. Don't be prejudiced against her."

Lu Jiaguang asked, "Uncle San, you are protecting that mother and daughter like this and ignoring the harm they have done to Xinxin. Aren't you afraid that she will be disappointed and break off relations with you?"

Lu Hongjun said, "It's wrong for Siyi to date Fan Yinuo, but it has nothing to do with your Aunt Ding Jing. She found out later and has been strongly against them being together."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Lu Jiaguang didn't get angry. He said, "Uncle San, I know what you think. You think Xinxin was born and raised by you. Even if she did something wrong, she can't just ignore you in the future."

"You said Xinxin is desperate for money now. Do you know why she is desperately trying to make money? Because if she has money, she won't have to rely on you anymore."

"Uncle San, if Xinxin is in Sijiu City, you will be unable to move when you are old, and she will have to ignore you under pressure. But have you ever thought about what would happen if she is not in Sijiu City or even in the country?"

Lu Hongjun's face changed: "What do you mean by that?"

Lu Jiaguang said calmly, "Jiajie lived with Jiaxin a few days ago and said that she spent a lot of time memorizing English every day. We all know that among all the subjects, Xinxin dislikes English the most. Why is she so positive now?"

In the past, he would not have thought so much, because his sister was like a blank sheet of paper, with all her emotions on her face. But after this incident, his sister not only became cunning, but also used tricks. Of course, this is a good thing.

Lu Hongjun understood: "You mean she is so active in learning English because she wants to study abroad, but studying abroad is not that easy."

Seeing that he still viewed his sister with the old ideas, Lu Jiaguang said, "Uncle San, there are two ways to study abroad. One is to study abroad at public expense, and the other is to study there at your own expense. With Jiaxin's intelligence, it won't be difficult for her to get a place in university at public expense as long as she works hard."

Lu Hongjun took a sip of tea, then said with a smile: "I know Jiaxin's abilities better than you do. It's no problem for her to get into a university, but it's impossible for her to study abroad at public expense."

Lu Jiaguang knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, and he was unwilling to waste his breath any more: "Uncle San, I just hope you won't regret it in the future."

Lu Hongjun originally had something he wanted to tell him, but after an argument he didn't want to say anything. In the end, the two of them left without even eating.

Wang Xiaojie saw his angry face and walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jiaguang unbuttoned the first button of his clothes irritably and said, "I didn't have dinner, please make me a bowl of noodles!"

Wang Xiaojie was very surprised, but she just looked at him like this and didn't ask any more questions. She went into the kitchen to get busy. It was not until bedtime that she asked if he had a conflict with Lu Hongjun.

Lu Jiaguang briefly recounted the incident: "From the look on his face, even if Xinxin is admitted to study abroad on government scholarships, he will probably stop her from going."

"Not really?"

Lu Jiaguang suppressed his anger and said, "Given his temper, he will most likely do this. Xinxin went to Pengcheng to sell paintings, and she probably wanted to leave the city."

"You mean, she wants to study abroad at her own expense."

Lu Jiaguang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. But isn't she going to take the college entrance exam? She can apply to a university in another province by then. He has connections in the city, and he will retire in two years. By then, she can be out of his control."

Wang Xiaojie was surprised and said, "How old is Jiaxin? How can she think so far ahead?"

"Jia Xin has grown up and is no longer the Jia Xin of the past. We should stop looking at her with the old eyes."
