Lu Xiuwen learned the address of Lu Wanqing's garment factory, but did not tell Zhang Guixiang and Lu Xiuwu about it.
Since I didn't know their attitude, I simply didn't say anything.
They had a grudge against Lu Wanqing, but not against him.
He found an opportunity, dressed in new clothes, and went to the address.
When I got to the entrance, I was stopped by the security guard.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see my sister. She's your factory manager." He took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man.
The old man was a man of the world; he didn't think he could be bribed with a cigarette. He pushed the cigarette away and said irritably:
"The factory manager told me that I should make an appointment with any family members who might come to see her, and all other relatives should make an appointment in advance."
Lu Xiuwen cursed inwardly, "Damn it! A lousy garment factory dares to talk about appointments? Does it think it's some kind of government official?"
He's a seasoned veteran of government offices, and he's come here today to be wronged.
"Sir, my sister is just too forgetful and forgot to tell you. Why don't you let me in first, and when I come out, I'll have her fill in a list for you or something?" he said with a fake smile.
The old man gave him a sour look, refusing to be swayed.
"You can register first, and I'll let you in after I verify the situation. Or you can make her come down by herself if you dare."
He dared not be careless about the things Huo Xiao had personally instructed him to do that morning.
Lu Xiuwen had no choice but to slink away.
However, he came again when it was time to get off work in the evening.
After get off work, Lu Wanqing has to go home eventually, so if I wait at the door, I'm sure I'll see her.
After a while, Lu Wanqing indeed came out pushing her bicycle.
He rushed over, stood in front of her, and said with a forced smile:
"Oh, Qingqing, what a coincidence to run into you here!"
Before Lu Wanqing could speak, a fist slammed into his face.
He regained his balance, feeling a sticky sensation in his nasal cavity. He reached down and touched it, only to find it was blood.
"Who the hell are you, hitting someone like that!" Lu Xiuwen roared.
Lin Ye pretended to hit him again, but Lu Wanqing grabbed his hand.
"Ah Ye, don't get your hands dirty. Let's go."
Lin Ye's gaze softened immediately as he looked at her. "Are you alright? Let's go."
The two exchanged glances throughout, completely disregarding Lu Xiuwen.
He touched his head and realized that the tall man was Lu Wanqing's husband.
Good heavens, they've been married for years, yet they act like newlyweds.
On second thought, since they were going home, she might as well follow them; it would be a good way to find her house.
To my surprise, I hadn't gone far when someone kicked me in the butt.
He fell face-first into the shit, struggled to his feet, spat out the dust from his mouth, turned around, and saw another tall man.
"Who the hell are you?"
Huo Xiao threatened, "Don't worry about who I am. If I ever see you with Lu Wanqing again, I'll make sure you never see the sun rise tomorrow."
What else could he do but beg for mercy and try to escape?
When I got home, Yu Lili greeted me with a look of anticipation:
"So, did you get the money?"
"Pah, she wants money too? I didn't even get a chance to talk to her." Lu Xiuwen covered his face and sat on the sofa angrily.
Yu Lili's mood immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and she cursed him as a good-for-nothing.
Now that we've met, how can we not exchange a single word?
Lu Xiuwen had no choice but to recount the whole process.
"Does Lu Wanqing not even want to acknowledge you as her older brother anymore?" Yu Lili asked, puzzled.
This woman is really ruthless. After all, she's my brother who I grew up with, and she turns her back on me so easily.
A little while later, Zhang Guixiang came home from get off work and, seeing that no food had been cooked yet, said to Yu Lili with a dark face:
"Everyone's at work, you should cook dinner at home too!"
Yu Lili felt unhappy:
"Mom, I haven't been idle at home either. Tiger is only three years old, which is a very naughty age. I have to keep an eye on him at all times and can't let anything go wrong."
Lu Xiuwen also sided with his wife, which angered Zhang Guixiang so much that she went into the kitchen.
What's the point of having a daughter-in-law? All she does is open her mouth and eat.
Although he has a father who is an official, he doesn't get any benefits from it.
If Yu Lili knew what she was thinking, she would probably say a few words to her again. If she didn't get any benefits, where would Lu Xiuwen get his job? How could he get into the government office without connections?
He himself is useless; he doesn't know how to flatter or write articles to praise others, so he has only been a low-level clerk for so many years.
When it was time to eat, Lu Xiuwu also returned. If you looked closely, you could see that his walking posture was a bit strange, with his right foot leaning outward and his spine seemingly not straight. This was because he had caused trouble for Lin Cong after he found out that Lin Cong had stolen his medicinal herbs, and had been beaten up.
He was filled with resentment. Lin Cong had become the son-in-law of the commander, and he himself had become a deputy battalion commander with a bright future ahead of him, while he was just a lowly fitter in a machine factory.
If it weren't for his father's unexpected death, he wouldn't have been able to work as a fitter.
Before eating anything, he poured himself a glass of wine.
Only when he's drunk does he stop thinking about these things.
“Our family is in such a state now that we don’t even have a decent appliance. Have you ever thought about going to find Lu Wanqing?” Yu Lili asked tentatively.
Upon hearing Lu Wanqing's name, Zhang Guixiang felt a surge of anger rising within her.
Why do you keep bringing her up? Haven't we suffered enough because of her?
Lu Xiuwu also disagreed: "When she was in the countryside, we ignored her. Now that we know her mother-in-law has become successful, we go to her. I can't do that."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Lu Xiuwen quickly interrupted Yu Lili.
He bought Lu Wanqing's information for fifteen yuan; surely he wasn't going to let them have it for free?
Yu Lili certainly had her own ideas, hoping that Zhang Guixiang would go and cause trouble for Lu Wanqing!
Lu Wanqing is a factory manager, so she's definitely afraid of being accused of being unfilial. In that case, she won't be able to ignore it and will have to come to negotiate.
Of course, the couple never had any tacit understanding, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.
Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye returned home and told Zhao Xiaolan and the others about the Lu family coming to find them.
When Lin Xiaocui called her, she didn't take it seriously. But when she saw Lu Xiuwen come looking for her shamelessly today, she realized how serious the situation was.
What if they get angry and go to Sanbao?
Or they could directly harass Grandma Han and her family, putting her in a difficult position.
She needs to come up with a solution quickly!
“I’ll take care of the kids for a while. No matter what, the kids are the most important,” Lin Ye said.
"Should we give the Lu family a warning?" Zhao Xiaolan suggested.
However, since they only came to see her and didn't do anything substantial, it wasn't appropriate to issue a warning.
"Let Huo Xiaoqin stay with you. I'll pick up and drop off the kids, and Huo Xiaoqin will protect you closely." Lin Ye looked at Lu Wanqing.
Things may not be that serious yet, but we must be prepared.
