Chapter 1997: Money Moves People's Hearts 1

Lu Jiang had almost no impression of Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu's children. How could he have an impression of them when he had never met them? He would not recognize them even if they met.

He only knew that their twin children, a boy and a girl, went to the Great Northern Wilderness, and later asked Kou Yong to take care of them, which led to his marriage to Xu Miao.

Later, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue both had a bad impression of the Xu family's children. No matter how many reasons they had, it was not justifiable for them not to visit their elderly parents for more than ten years.

Now that he heard that the eldest brother of the Xu family instigated Xu Miao and Xu Xin to plot against the gold and jewelry that the two elders had hidden in their early years, Lu Jiang's impression of the eldest brother of the Xu family became even worse.

It’s not because all the treasures of the two elders fell into Feng Qingxue’s hands. Feng Qingxue exchanged them for food in that difficult period and felt at ease taking them.

The price of gold has gone up now, but at that time it took great luck to be able to exchange gold for food.

Moreover, the eldest son of the Xu family and his twin brother and sister were able to get through the difficult times safely, thanks to the food that the two elders of the Xu family got from Feng Qingxue. After being transferred to the Wanglou Brigade, the two elders would always think of their children when there were any good things, and they often got scarce supplies such as brown sugar and bacon from Feng Qingxue.

So, Lu Jiang said to Kou Yong calmly: "The two elders of the Xu family have always been reasonable. Your brother-in-law is welcome to come."

"Thank you, Yongzi. I understand. This matter is not suitable for us to get involved. When your brother-in-law arrives in Huaihai City, we will handle it ourselves."

Hearing Kou Yong's surprised tone, Lu Jiang still smiled faintly, "It's difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs."

What's more, they are outsiders, especially since Feng Qingxue benefited from it from the beginning, so they can't act like bad guys and remind the two elders of the Xu family that their eldest son was plotting against them.

"Why don't you tell your parents-in-law?"

The Lu family owes nothing to the Xu family, and certainly not to the Xu family’s children.

Kou Yong sighed, "Miaomiao and Xinzi flatly refused. They said that even if those things were still there, they belonged to their parents and they didn't covet them. They were already unfilial by not being able to take care of their parents, so how could they covet their parents' things? What's more, their parents sent them so much food during the difficult period. It's impossible to say that they didn't use any of it. At that time, only gold could be exchanged for some life-saving food on the black market, and there was a great possibility that they didn't keep it when they encountered disasters."

Lu Jiang nodded slightly. This sounded like something human.

No matter how bad they were, they were still the biological sons of the Xu family's parents. Xi Bao said that even though they had not received any filial piety from their children over the years, the parents always thought about them.

Kou Yong thought for a moment, then said, "It's up to you. I just want to tell you something. When I first met this brother-in-law, I felt that he was not upright and had a lot of airs. I won't talk about him anymore. I have something to ask of you."

"If you have something to say, what do you want to ask for a word?"

Kou Yong sighed, "My eldest brother-in-law brought his daughter to my house, wearing nice clothes. It's nothing, my child doesn't want to compete with others. Whose child doesn't wear pudding clothes? But that girl named Xu Jingying laughed at my daughter and said she was a country girl and a poor bastard! I don't know how sad I am as a father. Even if Xu Jingying takes the train to the south tomorrow, I also want to comfort my daughter. The clothes in the capital must be very fashionable. Please buy two pieces for me and send them to me. I will transfer the money to you later."

"It's no problem at all." Lu Jiang agreed immediately. "How old is your daughter? How tall is she? Tell me and I'll write it down."
