"Your dad and I have decided that we will live with the eldest son's family from now on."
As soon as Grandma Li finished speaking, Qi Ran impatiently refused: "No way!"
If we let Dad and Mom live in the same room with them, wouldn't half of the food and money in the house just be taken away for no reason?
That won't do.
Qi Ran argued logically: "You and Dad never sided with our family before, so why should you side with us now?"
When Grandma Li heard Qi Ran say that, she almost coughed up blood. She looked at Lu Yuncheng standing next to Qi Ran and asked, "Eldest son, do you think so too?"
Lu Yuncheng scratched the back of his head: "It's not that I'm unfilial, it's just that among the five of us brothers, the fifth brother's family earns the most money, so it's most suitable for Mom and Dad to live with the fifth brother and his family."
Old Mrs. Li gasped again: "So, in your eyes, my husband and I are just two burdens?"
Only now did she truly see her eldest son clearly. This eldest son, whom she had always doted on, had actually begun to despise them after the family division.
"The only reason I stayed with you was so that we could help take care of your children. I never expected that you would despise us so much. From now on, we will not help you with anything that happens to your family!" Old Mrs. Li said resolutely. She had finally seen through the couple and refused to have any further contact with them after the separation.
As for all the effort that the eldest son's family had put into the past, let's just consider it all wasted!
"What about the remaining four families?" Old Mrs. Li dared not name anyone, fearing she would suffer losses again.
see.
Fortunately, all three families except the second wife said in unison, "Mom and Dad, come with us."
Old Mrs. Li and Old Mr. Lu were in a better mood after that.
After discussing for a while, Grandma Li and Grandpa Lu finally made a decision: "From now on, we've decided to follow the fourth son's family."
In their eyes, the fourth son should be the one with the fewest conflicts in the future. After so many things, Old Mrs. Li and Old Mr. Lu now just want to enjoy their old age in peace.
After the Lu family split up, Shen Qianqian's system was upgraded again, enabling her to make specialty foods. She and Lu Yunzhi began preparing to move into the city. They first rented a shop in the city and then furnished the house. They moved into the city the week the split ended.
Seeing that one of the houses in her family was empty, Qi Ran started having wicked thoughts again. She said to Lu Yuncheng, "Hey, do you see that the house without five rooms is empty? Even the small shop is closed."
Lu Yuncheng had already worked a full day at the factory and didn't have time to listen to Qi Ran's nonsense. He said absentmindedly, "Isn't that a given? They've all moved out, of course the house is empty. They've all moved to the city, why would they care about that little shop in the village?"
"What I mean is that we can fill the vacancy in the small shop, and this empty one..."
The room is perfect for opening a small shop, so we only need to pay for the inventory.
"Yes!" Qi Ran became more and more excited as she spoke, and even imagined herself sitting in the convenience store enjoying the wonderful life.
Unfortunately, she didn't get the response she was waiting for from Lu Yuncheng; instead, she heard him snoring.
"What a good-for-nothing!" Qi Ran cursed inwardly. If Lu Yuncheng had even half of Lu Yunzhi's ambition, they might be the ones moving to the city by now!
Even so, nothing could stop her from moving forward.
The next day, Qi Ran went to the city to buy some pastries and brought them to Grandma Li: "Mom, can I talk to you about something?"
"Don't call me Mom, I have absolutely nothing to do with your family now." Old Mrs. Li originally intended to...
She glanced to the side, and when she could smell the milky aroma of the pastries wafting into her nose, she couldn't help but shift her gaze to the right and quietly swallow.
It was this subtle action that Qi Ran caught her in the act. She slowly placed the pastries on the table in front of Old Lady Li: "I just came to say that perhaps we could have the room that Fifth Brother and his family shared?"
"Why would I give it to you?" Old Mrs. Li started preparing to unpack the pastries.
"Of course, I'll open a small shop!"
Upon hearing Qi Ran's words, Old Lady Li immediately stopped what she was doing and pushed the pastries back to Qi Ran intact: "No way! If you wanted to open a small shop at home, wouldn't the whole family be driven crazy by the noise?"
If the threshold of the Lu family's gate were worn down by people coming and going, and the house were filled with noise, Old Mrs. Li would probably be driven crazy by it.
Besides, she's no longer on the same side as the eldest son's family, so how could she possibly help them? Even if she were to open a business, it would have to be for the fifth son's family.
Qi Ran still refused to give up and continued to persuade Old Lady Li: "The only small shop in the village is closed now. We can't let someone else seize this opportunity! You know how much money a small shop can make, Mom!"
Qi Ran's words of persuasion did change Li Laotai's mind to some extent, but even at this moment, she was still thinking about the Wufang family.
Soon, the conversation ended abruptly when the third son, Lu Yunchuan's voice reached the Lu family home. "I have great news for everyone: we're going to open a small shop in the village!"
"What?" Qi Ran sprinted forward at fifty-meter speed, rushing to Lu Yunchuan and asking, "What did you say?"
Lu Yunchuan smiled憨厚ly: "Wasn't it because I got injured when I was catching wild boars last time and couldn't do heavy work? So Lao Wu and the others specially transferred the small shop to us before they left."
He felt deeply grateful to the fifth brother's family.
At the time, he thought he would need to pay some money to the fifth brother's family to transfer the money, but the fifth brother's wife waved her hand and said, "No need, we can split the profits equally from now on."
