Chapter 114 Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Zhu Suisui's question.

When they got home, Lu Lanxu did not give her a direct answer.

After listening to her, he just pinched her nose and said, "Think about it slowly. The reform of the village is imperative. Only when common prosperity is achieved can development take off. It is a good thing both emotionally and rationally."

As for whether there are other selfish motives.

Lu Lanxu didn't want to say it too bluntly. He hoped that Zhu Suisui could understand this point himself.

Zhu Suisui didn't get a specific answer, but he could probably guess in his heart that this was the reason.

He always thinks ahead when doing things, as if nothing is impossible for him to accomplish. This may be the reason why he was trained to be the heir of the Lu family since he was a child.

If it really works.

That's killing three birds with one stone.

First, the village chief can help solve the problems of Grandma Xu and Xu Rongrong. Second, Xingfu can become truly wealthy, which is definitely a good thing. Third, for Zhu Suisui, taking her family to Sijiucheng can solve the problem of land arrears, which will give her one more bargaining chip to convince the Zhu family.

Otherwise, just for the late payment fee, no one, whether it was Xu Hui, Zhu Xingguo, Grandma Zhu, or the two brothers, would be willing to pay it.

Zhu Suisui felt that he needed to learn Lu Lanxu's style of doing things.

You can easily accomplish what you want without having to do it yourself.

Not long after.

The family members also came back.

Naturally, Zhu Suisui and Lu Lanxu didn’t have to prepare dinner in the evening.

Lu Lanxu eats cleanly.

After dinner, Xu Hui mentioned that Hu Shulan had come over.

Zhu Lechen sneered, "She usually doesn't come here. When she saw us in the village, she acted like a plague chicken. She always thinks her daughter is so powerful that no one can look down on her. What good can come of her coming here this time?"

In the past, the Xu family was very nervous. When the three siblings went to pay New Year's greetings when they were young, they watched Xu Hui busy cooking, but in the end they got nothing good. No one in the Xu family treated them as relatives, and they all looked down on them. Later, the Lu family found the Zhu family, and after this relationship was established, the Xu family began to get closer to the Zhu family.

But my heart was already broken by then. If I hadn't cultivated my feelings before, how could I have them now?

Last year, Xu Xiayan was admitted to a university in Beijing. The Xu family was extremely excited and held a banquet in the village. The Zhu family members naturally went as well. Hu Shulan was always showing off her daughter's abilities in her words and deeds.

Just show off if you want to.

If Zhu Suisui got into college, they would just show off even more, which is normal.

But the problem is that Hu Shulan always compares herself with Zhu Suisui.

What is he saying?

"Alas, our Yanyan is just hardworking and smart enough. Otherwise, if she had been born into my belly, how could she have been admitted to university without any Qingyan from her ancestors? In fact, your Suosu is still the best. She doesn't have to worry about anything. Such a good marriage has been thrown down, and she has directly become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. She doesn't have to work hard in her life, unlike our Yanyan, who can only take the college entrance examination on her own."

This is said in a weird way.

Could it be that their Suo Suo is bad?

If it weren't for the fact that the Xu family raised Xu Hui, Zhu Lechen would have said even more unpleasant things now.

But that child wasn't raised by Hu Shulan!

Hearing him say this, Old Lady Zhu glared at him.

No matter what, even if the relatives at home say something, it is not something the younger generation can say. This will only make others think that the Zhu family has bad family education.

Um……

The "other person" he was referring to was naturally Lu Lanxu.

Old Mrs. Zhu was afraid that Lu Lanxu would think too much, after all, Lu Lanxu lived in a large family.

The concept of family is definitely different from that of Zhu's family.

They could cut off these relatives, but that was impossible for Lu Lanxu. As someone who had grown up in a large and harmonious family, she attached great importance to the idea that a harmonious family would bring prosperity.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Zhu said, "No matter what, having a meal together is normal. They are our relatives. As the saying goes, you should not hit someone who smiles at you. They have invited us. If Lan Xu and Sui Sui are free, it is not wrong for them to go."

Otherwise, if this matter gets out, then the Zhu family will be in the wrong!

Zhu Suisui doesn't want to go.

But she didn't feel comfortable saying it, so she could only glance at Lu Lanxu.

Fortunately, Lu Lanxu understood what he meant.

He said, "Grandma is right, but from the look on my aunt's face, she seems to want to ask me for help with something. You know that I have a special status. If she asks for something..."

She didn't finish her words, but Mrs. Zhu understood.

Old Lady Zhu said immediately, "Then don't go. When someone comes, I will push them away for you. Just rest at home."

In fact, there was no need for Lu Lanxu to give a reason. As long as he expressed that he didn't want to go, Grandma Zhu would naturally not let him go to dinner.

She had no good feelings towards the Xu family.

If it weren't for the relationship with Xu Hui and the fact that she didn't want to embarrass Xu Hui, the old lady would never be willing to become related to anyone.

As for the Xu family's behavior, which favored boys over girls to the point of forcing their own daughter to death and even using the corpse to arrange a ghost marriage to make money, Grandma Zhu really couldn't agree with it.

The topic was passed over like this.

It's getting late.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Zhu Suisui entered the house first.

Happiness is not as good as the old city, where you can burn the kang to keep warm in winter. Here, you can only rely on your integrity to survive the winter.

When he got into the house, Zhu Suisui still felt cold. There were two quilts on the bed, but he didn't know if they were warm enough.

Just thinking about this.

There was movement outside the door.

She turned around and fell into the man's inky eyes.

It was Lu Lanxu who came in with a kettle of hot water.

He locked the door.

There are only two of us left now, which is a bit awkward.

It’s different from when I was at Lu’s house.

This is her home, where she grew up. She has lived in this house alone since she was a child, and no other person of the opposite sex has ever entered this house except her family.

Now that Lu Lanxu had come in, his tall stature made the space seem particularly small.

Zhu Suisui always felt like she was dreaming. Her heart skipped a few beats and she forgot what to do for a moment.

She just stared at Lu Lanxu, watching him wash up slowly and leisurely. The hot water wet his black hair. She had a different feeling, as if he wasn't so serious anymore.

Lu Lanxu took off her outer coat, then her inner clothes, until only her white shirt was left.

Under the white shirt, the green military pants were tied with a leather belt, showing a strong waist. One could imagine how firm and vigorous that place was.

I wish Sui Sui’s mentality has changed today.

She no longer had such a strong desire for divorce, which meant that she might return to her married life with Lu Lanxu.

While Zhu Suisui was daydreaming, Lu Lanxu had already washed up, taken off his clothes, got on the bed, and fell asleep.

Zhu Suisui: “…”
