Chapter 182 He Really Cares
Jiao Shanyun spoke directly. She could no longer be vague in her previous words.
You Rong felt it was a pity.
I have finally provoked the anger of the Fourth House, and then all I have to do is watch the fight.
Once Lu Lanxu's position became unstable, his son Lu Chengzhi would have the possibility of taking over.
But now this idea has failed.
You Rong said quickly, "Shan Yun, I am so ashamed of what you said. I am just a woman, how can I understand all these twists and turns? I just saw that Xiuzhi was in a bad mood, so I tried to comfort her, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand me. It's all because of my second sister-in-law's nonsense. You and Xiuzhi must not take it to heart. Alas, I know I have no culture and always say the wrong things. I'd better go and serve you some sweet soup."
"In the middle of winter, a bowl of hot sweet soup is the best nourishment. Just consider it as my sister-in-law's gift to you to apologize."
Now that things have come to this.
Jiao Shanyun naturally couldn't say anything more.
What's more, what You Rong said before was not very clear. It is impossible to directly determine whether it was intentional or unconscious.
Seeing You Rong leaving in a hurry, Jiao Shanyun looked at Wu Xiuzhi.
There was still an expression of anger on her face.
Jiao Shanyun then slowed down her tone and said, "Xiuzhi, I know you love Xueke, but think about it yourself. Was what she did last time right or wrong?"
Hearing this.
Wu Xiuzhi was not an unreasonable person, but she was biased when it came to her daughter's affairs. She said, "Even if Xue Ke was wrong, she was just venting her anger, but my father almost kicked her out of the house. How should I feel about this? You all know how I got Xue Ke. Isn't this just stabbing me in the heart?"
This sounds like common sense.
Jiao Shanyun sighed, "I am also a mother, so I naturally understand your difficulties, but our Lu family has always been united and friendly. Think about it, the Lu family is in its current position because of the joint efforts of everyone. There is no big family. , it depends on one person's ability to survive for a long time. It is said that the future of the Lu family depends on Lan Xu, but if there are no other juniors to help, and there is only Lan Xu, do you think the Lu family can continue to be as prosperous as it is today? "
"Xue Ke represents your family. She is not young anymore. She is in her twenties. You can't limit your attention to the emotions of girls. You don't want Xue Ke to rely on you and the fourth brother for protection when she is old. She is not a bad person. If some of her minor faults can be corrected, going to Jin City is just the right opportunity. Don't you want to see Xue Ke succeed?"
Wu Xiuzhi's eyes turned red when she heard this.
As a mother, how can you not hope for your children to succeed?
However, although her love protected Lu Lanxu, it also limited her development.
Wu Xiuzhi had previously found it difficult to express the pain in her heart, but now that she was in front of Jiao Shanyun, she was able to speak it out naturally.
"Of course I thought about it, but Xue Ke has always been by my side. It's the first time for her to work in such a far place, and she's a girl, so I'm worried."
Jiao Shanyun smiled, "Nowadays women can hold up half the sky, it's time for you to let go, not to mention that Jinshi is not far from Sijiucheng, can't you come back on weekends? I have a relative there, I will say hello and ask someone to take care of her. When she has tempered her temper and returned to Sijiucheng, her original position will be promoted. Do you really want her to eat you and the fourth brother for the rest of her life?"
After hearing this, Wu Xiuzhi pondered for a while, and her originally unbearable anxiety finally relaxed a little.
Jiao Shanyun has come this far, so why should she be dissatisfied?
Wu Xiuzhi wiped her tears and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Third Sister-in-law."
"We are all family, there is no such thing as trouble or not," Jiao Shanyun said, and then changed the subject, his tone a little more serious, "Xiuzhi, since you call me Third Sister-in-law, then I will say something unpleasant. As an elder, why do you always target Sui Sui? The Zhu family has done a favor to our Lu family, and Sui Sui is now a member of our Lu family. She calls you Fourth Aunt, and you treat her like this, isn't that bullying the weak?"
"If outsiders knew about this, I don't know what they would say about our Lu family. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. Our every move will affect the entire family. If you continue to do this, the old man will be dissatisfied with you."
If this had been said before, Wu Xiuzhi would definitely not be convinced, but after Jiao Shanyun used courtesy before force, she naturally felt a little ashamed after hearing it.
Wu Xiuzhi didn't really dislike Zhu Suisui. There was no conflict of interest between them, and they didn't live together, so there was no friction at all. They only met when they had dinner at the old man's house. Even if she really disliked him, it would be a smart move for her to pretend at this time.
If it weren't for Lu Xueke, she would naturally not do such a thing.
Now that Lu Xueke's heart knot has been untied, Wu Xiuzhi no longer has anything to say against Zhu Suisui.
Come to think of it, it does seem like the elders are bullying the younger ones.
Wu Xiuzhi said, "Third sister-in-law, I did something unkind. Tell Sui Sui not to take it to heart. Now that I think about it carefully, I've really been blinded by greed."
Seeing that Wu Xiuzhi seemed ashamed, Jiao Shanyun treated her gently. After chatting for a while, they went out to drink sweet soup.
In the study.
Mr. Lu also expressed some thoughts and opinions about what happened at dinner, basically telling Zhu Suisui not to take it to heart.
Zhu Suisui naturally agreed to all of them.
She cared about too many things in her previous life, which led to her constant unhappiness and increasing inferiority and cowardice.
Of course, I won’t be immersed in it now.
After talking about this, Lu Lanxu talked about the news of finding a house.
Mr. Lu had already been mentally prepared, so he was not surprised.
I'm just worried that if the young couple were alone together, Zhu Suisui would feel wronged.
Thinking of this, the old man looked at Zhu Suisui and said, "Sui Sui, if Lan Xu does something wrong, come to me and I will help you reform him. If it doesn't work, we won't want him. Anyway, I will make the decision for you on everything."
Although these words sounded a bit childish, one could also see that Mr. Lu loved Zhu Suisui very much.
Hearing this.
Lu Lanxu's expression became more helpless.
"Grandpa, then I can't make even the slightest mistake."
Mr. Lu snorted, "You are already thirty years old, much older than Su Su. If you can't even be a good husband on weekdays, you have lived in vain."
Lu Lanxu responded rationally, "No one is perfect, and everyone has their own standards for what is right and wrong. Sui Sui is still young, and many of her concepts are still in their infancy. I think I should keep an eye on her to prevent her from making mistakes. Husbands and wives need to adapt and grow with each other. As a man, I will tolerate more, change more, and give more. But Grandpa, you can't teach her to end this relationship if she has problems."
At this point, Lu Lanxu paused, then continued slowly: "One more thing, it's not even the New Year yet, to be exact, I'm only 27 years old, which is far from the 30 you said."
