Everything was ready except for Mrs. Lu who fainted. Because of Chen Lihua's words, she wanted to faint but couldn't. If she didn't faint, the atmosphere would have been like this... In short, Mrs. Lu was angry, furious and embarrassed, and her old face looked as ugly as a color palette.
Lu Qing watched all this, his mind in turmoil. Seeing that his brother had made up his mind and had no intention of changing his mind, he walked to the old lady's ear and whispered a few words to her.
The old lady's expression changed slightly, as if she was a little hesitant.
But the hesitation was only for a moment, and soon the old lady spoke, "You said you wouldn't take anything with you, didn't you? You can't take Chen's dowry either."
Back then, when Chen Lihua married into the Lu family, she brought a lot of dowry, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a ten-mile red wedding dress.
If they had that dowry, it wouldn't be a bad thing for the Lu family.
When Lu Qi heard that his mother actually wanted his wife's dowry, his face changed. He was about to argue something but was stopped by Chen Lihua.
"As long as my mother-in-law clearly states in the document that my dowry is used to honor her, and that it is considered as the second wife's support for your old age, and that the subsequent retirement issues have nothing to do with our second wife, it is not a problem to keep the dowry."
"Ms. Chen, you are unfilial." Old Mrs. Lu couldn't help but scold again.
Chen Lihua's face was very calm. "Mother-in-law, you must know how much my dowry is, right? My second wife left home without taking anything, and it would be unfilial to use the dowry to support you in your old age. So, may I ask, mother-in-law, how much money can the first wife give you in your old age?"
After saying this, Chen Lihua lowered her eyes and said, "Since my mother-in-law doesn't like my dowry, then I guess we can't leave today."
As she spoke, Chen Lihua looked at Lu Qi and said, "Husband, let's go back. I'm afraid we can't leave this family."
Lu Qi was a little slow to react for a moment.
They had agreed to split up last night, so why did they suddenly give up?
However, Lu Qi always listens to his wife, so he does whatever his wife says. After all, since he met her more than ten years ago, he knew that everyone in the world would treat him badly, except his wife.
The family of three turned around and left as if no one was around, as if they had given up on dividing the family.
Seeing this, the others were stunned.
Why would you regret it out of the blue?
If she had made the decision just now, Mrs. Lu might have been able to accept such a result calmly. After all, she didn't want to split up the family.
But as long as she thought that Chen's dowry would be her retirement money, if the family was not divided and the second wife did not leave the house, wouldn't the dowry never reach her hands?
After all, the husband's family cannot take the daughter-in-law's dowry for themselves, or they may be held accountable.
However, at this time, she couldn't rush to ask someone to come back and say that she agreed to separate the family.
Fortunately, although Mrs. Lu was anxious, there were people who were more anxious than her.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry to leave." Lu Qing said.
At this moment, Lu Qing really regretted not letting Da Chen come along. If not, why would he be the one to speak up and embarrass himself at this time?
But money can move people's hearts. How could he not be tempted when he thought of his second brother and sister-in-law's dowry?
Thinking of this, Lu Qing calmed his expression. "Since you don't want to stay in this house anymore, mother and I won't force you to stay... We just hope that after you leave today, you can come back often to visit."
This was a nice statement, but in the eyes of Lu Qi and Chen Lihua, Lu Qing was seen as a hypocritical man.
Lu Qing didn't care what kind of image he had in the second wife's mind. In his opinion, the value of the dowry was much greater.
Especially since he has been in the position of Minister for too long and has long wanted to move up, doesn't all this require money to pave the way?
Thinking of this, Lu Qing looked at Madam Lu without any psychological burden, "Mother, they say a forced melon is not sweet, so I will just give in to them."
With her eldest son as a stepping stone and the generous dowry to support her in her old age, Mrs. Lu nodded without hesitation.
Soon, the document was written according to Chen Lihua's requirements.
Chen Lihua looked at the document, a hint of satisfaction flashing across her eyes.
Then, she smiled at Lu Qing and said, "From now on, I will trouble you, big brother."
Having said that, Chen Lihua turned and left.
This time, Lu Qi no longer looked at his elder brother and mother, and followed his wife's steps.
Lu Linger followed quietly behind her parents, with brisk steps.
After the family of three left the Lu family, they went directly to an ordinary house in Beijing.
This house was also one of Chen Lihua's dowry, but it was under Chen Lihua's name and was not on the dowry list. It was specially prepared by old man Chen because he was worried that his daughter would be wronged and have nowhere to go after marrying into a wealthy family.
Apart from being small, this house has everything you need. Even the servants are all there, and the confidants who usually serve the second wife have arrived here early.
Lu Qi felt indescribably depressed, but when he looked at this quiet house, most of the depression in his heart dissipated.
"I'm afraid I'll have to rely on my wife for support from now on." Returning to the room, Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Lihua squinted her eyes, "Why? Did being supported by me hurt your pride?"
Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced outside. Seeing that no one else was around, he stepped forward and hugged Chen Lihua into his arms. "How could that be? I just hope that Madam will support me for the rest of my life."
Chen Lihua smiled and scolded him, but she couldn't help but sigh, "After more than ten years of marriage, I finally got rid of your family."
