"Xiao Wu, I heard that you lost your job at the commune? I've been lying in bed for the past few years and haven't been able to take care of you and your sister. If you have any difficulties, please tell me."
The people around couldn't help but sigh when they saw the old man's concern for the Zhang brothers. The old man still loved the Zhang children so much.
Aunt Lu couldn't help but curl her lips. She really didn't understand what was so good about the Zhang family.
Zhang Hewu shook his head: "No, I'm doing fine in the production team."
The old man was still worried: "Do you want to change jobs?"
Working in the production team meant working face-to-face in the earth, digging for food in the soil was too hard, so he thought it would be better for his brothers and sisters to change jobs.
Everyone couldn't help but stare at Zhang Hewu after hearing this. The old man actually wanted to find him a job. How kind!
Zhang Hewu shook his head: "No, I'm doing fine in the production team."
He now helps plant fruit trees and feels his days are fulfilling. He didn't believe Rong Ya could really grow fruit trees before, but now, as he watches the grafted saplings grow thicker and thicker, he's slowly gaining confidence.
Maybe the fruit trees will actually bloom next spring!
Aunt Lu Li Ruyu couldn't help laughing: "Dad doesn't like it!"
Mr. Lu's granddaughter, Wang Yao, the daughter of Lu's married aunt, also laughed: "Is the work in the production team better than the work in the city?"
Wang Yao couldn't stand the Zhang siblings because she was jealous. She was obviously Mr. Lu's granddaughter, but Mr. Lu liked Zhang Xingrong more than her!
Zhang Hewu looked a little unhappy. This was the reason why he rarely came to the Lu family before.
This sarcastic tone caused the old man to turn around and glare at the two of them sternly. She didn't dare to continue.
Second uncle Lu Chengxiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and dragged Li Ruyu out. When they were alone, he said, "Ayu, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so sarcastic?"
Li Ruyu was very upset that her husband not only refused to stand by her but also scolded her. "Why am I being sarcastic? Was I wrong? I really don't understand why the old man likes the Zhang children so much? He doesn't even worry that much about our two children!"
Lu Chengxiu had often heard his wife complaining before, and he had advised her many times. This time, he couldn't help but say, "Because Jin Haitang is our benefactor!"
"What benefactor?" Li Ruyu didn't understand.
Lu Chengxiu thought about it and felt that it was no longer necessary to hide it at this point. "Jin Haitang is the daughter of Mr. Jin Mancheng. You should also know that the Jin family has been kind to our Lu family in the past. Grandpa always felt guilty for not being able to save the Jin family, so he was so kind to those children."
Speaking of which, he had wanted to marry Jin Haitang before, but unfortunately Jin Haitang had never liked him since childhood.
Li Ruyu was stunned. She really didn't know about this. After a while, she exclaimed, "Jin Haitang is the former eldest daughter of the Jin family? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"What? Can you talk about the Jin family's affairs casually?" Lu Chengxiu rubbed his forehead: "Although the situation is different now, don't go out and shout."
If the situation had not changed, he would not have dared to say it casually.
"I see!" Li Ruyu was full of curiosity. "Tell me what's going on?"
"What nonsense are you talking about here? Let's talk about it when we get back." Lu Chengxiu felt that his wife was really gossipy.
The two were whispering to each other when they heard the sound of a car parking at the door, and then Lu Ran and Zhang Xingrong came in.
Li Ruyu turned to look at Zhang Xingrong, her expression extremely complicated. She had never imagined that Zhang Xingrong was actually the granddaughter of the Jin family. She had actually heard about the once wealthy Jin family when she was a child, and she had even lamented their later misfortunes.
