Lu Xiuwen was kicked out and was very dissatisfied, shouting inside:
"I know you know Lu Wanqing. She can't escape. I will find her sooner or later!"
Huaihua stopped in her tracks, pondering to herself, "Lin Xiaocui clearly knows where Lu Wanqing is, so why doesn't she tell him?"
There must be some unspeakable secret between this man and Lu Wanqing!
Just as Lu Xiuwen was about to leave, Huaihua rushed over and stopped him.
“I know where Lu Wanqing is!” she said softly.
Lu Xiuwen was overjoyed, "You really know? Tell me quickly!"
Seeing the urgency on his face, Huaihua slowly crossed her arms:
"I can't just say that unless you give me some payment."
Lu Xiuwen thought that spending 50 cents or a dollar to buy information wouldn't be a bad deal, so he quickly rummaged through his pockets, took out 50 cents, and handed it to her.
"Is this enough?"
Huaihua's face showed a look of disdain: "Are you trying to fob me off? I won't say anything unless you have ten yuan."
Lu Xiuwen didn't have ten yuan on him; if he had money, he wouldn't have sought out Lu Wanqing.
“I don’t have it on me right now. But how do I know you’re right?” he questioned.
Huaihua said irritably, "The shop you just went into, that's Lin Xiaocui's, right? Her husband's name is Lin Ye, right? If you don't want to know, then forget it!"
She made a move to leave, but Lu Xiuwen stopped her, saying, "Then come with me. I'm going home to get the money."
At this moment, Wang Yong walked over and, having heard that Huaihua was going to sell Lu Wanqing's information to this man, hurriedly advised her against it:
"Huaihua, don't listen to him! Who knows what bad things he's up to! You can't sell out Lu Chang's information!"
His words not only failed to dissuade the two from making a deal, but instead made Lu Xiuwen even more excited.
His name is Lu Wanqing, the factory manager. She must be doing quite well now!
Did someone help him pay off his huge gambling debts?
Thinking this, he pulled Huaihua along and headed towards home.
Huaihua walked on and on, complaining repeatedly, before finally arriving at the Lu family's house.
"No, I really can't walk anymore. Go get the money, fifteen yuan, otherwise I still won't tell!" After walking for more than an hour, he kept saying that he was almost there, his legs were about to break.
Lu Xiuwen had no choice; he was too anxious. He told her to wait there while he went home to get the money.
Actually, the place where they stopped was not far from the Lu family's bungalow.
This house was allocated by Lu Aiguo Machinery Factory, and we haven't moved since.
At this time, only his wife and son were at home. He asked his wife, Yu Lili, for money, and was scolded again.
"I told you to go to Lu Wanqing to ask for money, why are you asking me now? You've squandered all the money in the house, and you still have the nerve to ask me for money."
I'm telling you, if you don't get the money back, I'm taking my son and going back to my parents' home."
Lu Xiuwen had no temper at all, and coaxed her with a smile, finally managing to get fifteen yuan from her.
This money was enough for a month's worth of food and daily necessities, but the thought of finding Lu Wanqing made her grit her teeth and give it to her.
This family is desperately short of money!
Since she graduated from university, married Lu Xiuwen, and moved into his home, she has never had a single day of peace.
It is said that the mother-in-law took her daughter Lu Jiajia to the countryside to look for her adopted daughter, but not only did she fail to get the money, she also lost Lu Jiajia.
After hearing the news, my father-in-law became depressed and died in an accident while working at the machine factory.
Lu Xiuwu, who was discharged from the army, took over his job, but he was also in a bad mood because he was framed and drank heavily every day.
Lu Xiuwen was doing well at first, and after graduating, he entered a government agency. Unexpectedly, he later became addicted to gambling and lost all of his father-in-law's pension.
Later, she became pregnant again, quit her job to stay home and take care of the child, and before she knew it, all the money in the house was gone, and she was left with a mountain of gambling debts.
Just when he was at his wit's end at home, Li Xiuwu accidentally saw the news of Han Dongsheng and Zhao Xiaolan's marriage.
The newspaper also published a photo of Elaine Chao.
At first, Lu Xiuwu only recognized the beautiful woman, until he saw her name.
“I recognize this person, she’s Lu Wanqing’s mother-in-law!” he exclaimed.
In the Lu family, the name Lu Wanqing has long been a taboo subject, and generally no one would mention it.
Lu Xiuwu used to say that Lu Wanqing had made a lot of money in the countryside.
But each time, Zhang Guixiang interrupted him sharply:
"Don't mention that woman again. She's the jinx of this family. She caused your sister to disappear and your father to die!"
What's the use of having money if no one will spend a single penny on you!
Lu Xiuwen, however, was skeptical. How much money could one earn in the countryside?
Since she's not his biological sister, there's no need to contact her anymore, lest she come back asking him for favors.
Although they used to have a good relationship, without blood ties, they are nothing, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
This time it's different. Elaine Chao appeared in the newspapers, and she married a high-ranking official. What does this mean?
It means they're about to rise to great heights!
Zhang Guixiang quickly snatched the newspaper, looked at the people inside, and frowned slightly:
"She does look like her, and the name is right too. But when I met her, she was still mentally challenged. How could she have caught the eye of a high-ranking official in the capital?"
Seeing this, Yu Lili pulled Lu Xiuwen aside and said to him:
"In that case, we can follow the clues and ask Zhao Xiaolan where she is. Wouldn't that lead us to Lu Wanqing?"
If she has money now, it wouldn't be unreasonable for you, as her older brother, to ask her for some money. That way, you can pay off your gambling debts too.
Lu Xiuwen felt that his wife made a lot of sense.
Zhang Guixiang hated Lu Wanqing to the core, but he didn't have such deep hatred. After all, their past brother-sister relationship still existed.
So he went to the state-run hotel where Elaine Chao held her wedding.
Nobody knows where Elaine Chao lives, but they've heard that the hot pot restaurant next to Donglaishun is owned by her relative.
Lu Xiuwen then found Lin Xiaocui.
Lin Xiaocui was shocked to hear that he was Lu Wanqing's brother. After calming him down, she immediately called her.
Lu Wanqing had long since severed ties with the Lu family. Even if she passed by their house on business, she never went inside, so why would she bother with Lu Xiuwen?
After learning of her attitude, Lin Xiaocui kicked Lu Xiuwen out.
This gave the locust flowers an opportunity to bloom.
Huaihua took the fifteen yuan, found a tricycle, and happily drove off.
Li Xiuwen silently recited the name of Wenwan Garment Factory in his heart as he went home with a smile.
Yu Lili learned from him that Lu Wanqing had actually opened her own garment factory, employing several hundred people, and she was filled with envy.
"Your younger sister is quite the businesswoman, she must be very wealthy. When you have time, go visit her and catch up. Didn't you grow up together? You must still have some feelings for each other."
Lu Xiuwen twitched the corner of his mouth. His wife used to say something different. Because her father had become a minor official, she was always afraid that Lu Wanqing would go back to the capital to ask her for favors.
However, she was right about one thing: it's good to catch up.
