Chapter 191 I'm Proud to Live Off My Wife
Comrade Lu was proud and honored his whole life.
He was proud of his achievements and energy, and proud that all four of his sons had become successful.
In particular, compared to some of my old comrades, whose children are not only useless but have also picked up all sorts of bad habits.
Some of them were even more inhumane. If it weren't for the sake of their fathers, they would have been killed long ago for the heinous things they did.
Old Lu never expected that his proudest son would do something like living off his wife.
Ahhhhh.
Comrade Lu is a bit crazy, a bit angry at his son's lack of ambition, and a bit lost about how to get his son to earn more money.
Jiang Jiani's earnings were terrifyingly high for Lao Lu.
If it weren't for the fact that the source of each sum of money was transparent, he would have almost thought she had gone astray like some misguided young men.
But it is precisely because they all make their money through legitimate means that Comrade Lu finds it even more difficult to accept.
His thinking was considered open-minded, but the traditional idea that men should be responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs remained deeply ingrained.
In his mind, even if both men and women work in a family, the man should be stronger and the woman weaker.
In other words, men should be better at their jobs than women, and men should earn more than women, only then can they be considered the head of the household.
For example, him and Lu's mother.
He has a job, and so does his mother; he has an income, and so does his mother.
The two men have different professions, so there shouldn't be much to compare. However, he has a higher position and a higher income, so he always feels that he is superior to Lu's mother.
Although he doesn't usually show it, his occasional nonchalant attitude is actually a subtle manifestation of this arrogance.
So when the second and third sons got married, one married a teacher, and the other married his deputy.
Their positions are slightly lower, and their income is also slightly lower.
He took it for granted, thinking that this was the normal situation for a family.
Who knew that the third son's wife, who looked like a teacher, had quietly earned so much money?
—When Lu's mother received her share of the profits from the milk tea shop, she actually told him about it, but he didn't care at all.
He thought it was just a woman's petty squabbles, how much money could it possibly involve?
But he never expected that his third son's wife would give him such a big surprise!
No!
It wasn't a surprise, it was a shock!
How could Jiang Jiani earn so much more than their third son?
So many!
Old Lu's entire lifetime salary didn't even equal half of what Jiang Jiani earned in a year!
and!
Comrade Lu was not only unable to accept reality for the time being, but also began to worry about Lao San's marriage.
He always felt that a family needs men to be more capable than women to ensure family stability.
Women who are too capable or have too much money are more likely to have extramarital affairs.
This includes, but is not limited to, finding men outside the home; in fact, after meeting a better man, one may no longer be interested in the man at home and then get a divorce.
Most women who abandon their husbands and children are like this.
Old Lu always felt that his third son was about to follow in the footsteps of other men who had been dumped.
Let alone the fact that the two of them have two children and have adopted one, and that having three children means they won't get divorced.
Those who have four or five children, don't they still get divorced even if they want to?
That woman's mother, the mother of Emperor Wu of Han, that was in ancient times, didn't she still leave her husband and daughter to marry the emperor?
Lu Xiangyang had no idea that his biological father had already imagined that after his divorce, his three sons and daughters would all go to their wealthy mother and not want their poor soldier father, and even compared him to the mother of Emperor Wu of Han.
He didn't think his father's problem was a big deal at all: "Isn't it great to be a kept man? So many people want to be kept men but can't afford it."
"Jiani is my wife."
"Isn't it my duty to live off my wife?"
"Or do you want me to live off someone else?"
He paused for a moment to think: "Isn't this inappropriate? It's too unethical."
"It's illegal for me to live off someone else, but it's normal to live off my parents."
He smiled at his father: "Dad, your and Mom's pensions must be quite a lot each month, right? How about I go back and live off you two? That way you won't have to worry about me."
Mr. Lu was dumbfounded, then furious and enraged: "You brat! You brat!"
"You used to just have thick skin, but now you've become so shameless?"
"Who the hell did you learn that from?"
Does your wife know how shameless you are?
Lu Xiangyang smiled slightly: "Guess?"
When Lu's father got angry, he reached out to pull out his belt, but then realized they were outside, so he quickly changed his mind and took off his shoes instead.
He had just taken off one shoe and straightened up when Lu Xiangyang had already run out with the leashes of the two dogs.
He ran while shouting, "Dad, don't interfere in what's going on between me and my wife."
"Do you know what you're doing? You're worrying about the ancients."
"!!!"
Enraged, Lu's father chased after him for a couple of steps and then threw his shoe at Lu Xiangyang.
"Hey, who is it?"
"Who the hell threw a shoe at someone in broad daylight?"
Comrade Lu stared in disbelief at Comrade Wang, who had suddenly appeared: "You...you...you..."
Old Wang looked at Old Lu and sneered, "I knew it was you, you old codger."
"You used to love hitting children when you were young. I never thought that you would still hit your children now that you're old and your son is married and has children of his own."
"You're really something!"
"You should really show your former political commissar your despicable behavior."
Both of them were ordinary soldiers.
They used to be in the same military unit, and basically all lived in the same family compound.
It's safe to say that in any family with children, there's no one who doesn't hit their child.
Other families either have few children or both boys and girls; it's really rare to find a family like the Lu family with four boys in a row.
The key point is that all four of the Lu family's sons are incredibly mischievous, and they're even the ringleaders in their mischief.
Except for their fourth child, who is an honest kid, the other three are all troublemakers, the kind who lead the charge in causing trouble.
The troublemaker is bound to get beaten the most, not to mention that the Lu family has three troublemakers.
But those were all things from when the children were young.
Who gets beaten after their child gets married and has children?
Old Lu is really inconsiderate.
Seeing the shoes in his hand, Old Wang became even angrier. That bastard Wang beat his son, but he actually used them to ambush him from a roundabout way!
"I heard that your third son's twins are staying with you? I'll go check on them."
After saying that, he picked up Lao Lu's shoes and ran towards the Lu family's house.
Before he could even utter a word, Lao Lu, who had been thoroughly shot by the man surnamed Wang, was dumbfounded and hopped forward a few times on one foot.
"Old Wang, Old Wang, my shoes! Hey, what are you doing with my shoes?"
His voice quickly turned furious: "You bastard surnamed Wang, give me back my shoes..."
