Chapter 18
And at this moment, Lu Dashan's family.
When Lu Xiujuan returned to the Lu family with two big bags of gifts, Lu Dashan and his wife had not yet finished work, so she rode her bicycle to where the majority of the troops were working, and then, amid the shocked and envious gazes of the crowd, she took a detour under the pretext of getting the key before returning home.
The results of her trip were not small. After she left, almost everyone who worked with Lu Dashan was talking about it, saying that Lu Xiujuan had made a good marriage. She had just brought gifts back to her parents' home two days ago, and only a few days later, she was carrying large and small bags of gifts back to her parents' home again.
How to tell whether a woman marries well or not depends on how much her husband's family cares about her, and the most obvious point is to see how much stuff the woman brings when she returns home.
Obviously, the things Lu Xiujuan brought were enough to make the others cry with envy, and they couldn't help but flatter Lu Dashan, asking him how his daughter found such a good match and such a good in-law family.
How did Lu Dashan know how Lu Xiujuan and son-in-law Wang Chengwen got together? Before the Wang family came to propose marriage, he was still looking for a partner with a suitable family background for Lu Xiujuan. Who would have known that before he could decide between a 30-year-old worker and the son of the captain of the neighboring brigade, the Wang family came to his door.
Once the Wang family put forward their conditions, the other two naturally had to stand aside.
So if you ask Lu Dashan how to find a good son-in-law, how does he know?
However, at this time, he certainly couldn't say that his daughter Lu Xiujuan was just lucky, so he just smiled casually.
"Well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. It all depends on their own fate."
Saying this was equivalent to not saying anything, but it earned him enough face, so when Lu Dashan went home he was grinning from ear to ear.
I never thought that my daughter, whom I have always looked down upon, has such ability. Not bad, not bad.
However, after Lu Xiujuan returned home and told him the real purpose of her return, Lu Dashan could no longer laugh.
"What are you talking about? Lu Chen and that educated young Meng? How is that possible! The two of them..."
Lu Dashan was about to say that it was impossible for the two of them, but then he remembered that the captain had asked Meng Yinyin to learn the job with Lu Chen some time ago, so during this period of time, the two of them had been together, especially since Meng Yinyin had grown up like that. No matter how strange Lu Chen's personality was, he was still a man.
Therefore, it seems not impossible that he is attracted to Meng Yinyin.
But after being surprised, he didn't intend to take it to heart.
After all, no matter what he said, he was just Lu Chen's uncle. He could control everything in the world, but how could he control who he married? Besides, who he married had nothing to do with him, so he was too lazy to say anything.
Seeing that Lu Dashan didn't seem to care about this, Lu Xiujuan became anxious and almost immediately frowned and said anxiously: "Dad, Lu Chen can't marry Meng Yinyin!"
Lu Dashan was about to ask why when he heard his daughter Lu Xiujuan say it.
"Have you forgotten that my brother-in-law has a crush on her?"
A few days ago, I followed Lu Xiujuan back to her parents' home to visit Meng Yinyin.
Lu Dashan only remembered this after being reminded by Lu Xiujuan, but he was also a little surprised.
"There has been no movement from their family in the past few days. I thought the matter was over."
After all, after seeing the person, there was no news from the Wang family for several days, so he naturally thought that Wang Chengwu did not like Meng Yinyin in the end.
After all, Wang Chengwu's family was well-off and he was good-looking. There were so many girls in the city, he could find any type of girl he wanted. Why would he insist on looking for a female educated youth who was only good-looking?
He never expected that Wang Chengwu really fell in love with Meng Yinyin.
In this case, Meng Yinyin is really popular.
"Dad, you saw the things I brought back today, right? My mother-in-law asked me to bring these things back...and she asked me to bring these things because she wanted me to resolve the issue between Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen."
Lu Dashan was not a fool, and he quickly realized that the Wang family's move today was to get them to contribute.
Although I had other purposes, I did gain a lot and it also made me save face. Once things are done, I don't know how I will thank myself in the future.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Dashan agreed to the job, but he was in a dilemma.
"So what do you think we should do about this? We can't just stop Lu Chen from being with Meng Yinyin, right?"
He could go and talk to him, but he probably wouldn't let Lu Chen listen to him now.
And since Lu Chen asked him for his parents' things last time, Lu Dashan didn't dare to see Lu Chen during this period. Although there was only a wall between them, as long as Lu Dashan closed the small door in the middle and kept the main door closed at other times, Lu Chen would not be able to see him at all.
Lu Dashan thought that this time he could do the same as before and hide from Lu Chen for a few days, and then he would definitely forget about it. But now from what Lu Xiujuan said, it seemed that she wanted them to go find Lu Chen to resolve the matter.
Wouldn't that just be sending him to the door himself?
Finally, Lu Dashan thought about it and decided to let Lu Xiujuan handle the matter herself. He would not get involved, lest Lu Chen come to him again to ask for his parents' things.
"This matter, this matter you figure out a way yourself, after all, it's your husband's family's business, and there's nothing we can do to help!"
Of course Lu Xiujuan knew why her father said that. He just wanted to continue to hold on to Lu Chen's parents' things.
But this time, she will not let her father play dumb again. In order to have a better life in her husband's family in the future, she must make her parents bleed heavily.
This can be considered as their compensation for having looked down on themselves and valued their younger brother for the past twenty years.
After calming down, Lu Xiujuan looked at Lu Dashan and said in a deep voice, "Dad, you must help me with this. Otherwise, there is no other way."
Lu Dashan felt uneasy when he saw her look.
"You stupid girl, I told you to handle this matter on your own, don't look for me, I..."
"But Dad, don't you want the reward from my parents-in-law?" Lu Xiujuan successfully blocked Lu Dashan's words with just one sentence.
He paused, then asked with a tangled expression: "Your parents-in-law, what did they say?"
Lu Xiujuan: "For now, they haven't said what they will give, but after the matter is completed, they will definitely reward us generously."
Lu Dashan had already experienced the generosity of the Wang family when Lu Xiujuan and his wife got married some time ago, so he was really moved when these words came out.
But……
He really didn't want to look for Lu Chen, for fear that he would ask him for those things.
Lu Xiujuan saw what Lu Dashan was struggling with at a glance, chuckled, and then said, "Dad, has Lu Chen seen the things left by Second Uncle and his family?"
Lu Dashan was shaking his head in consciousness.
"That's it. He hasn't seen it. What do you give him? Does he have any evidence to doubt it?"
"Besides, hasn't he always wanted his parents' things? Then let him take them, as long as he gives up Meng Yinyin."
Choose one of the two, and see what he chooses.
Lu Xiujuan's words successfully made Lu Dashan's eyes light up.
Yes, since Lu Chen has no idea what the things his parents left behind were, can't he just take something at random to trick him?
It's not like he hadn't thought about this idea before, but he always felt uneasy, so he would rather keep dragging Lu Chen than give him anything.
But now, with the big carrot from the Wang family dangling in front of him, he really didn't want to miss it.
Just like Lu Xiujuan said, as long as he could come up with something to fool Lu Chen and make him give up Meng Yinyin, wouldn't that be the end of it?
It’s quite simple when you think about it!
Seeing this, Lu Dashan immediately laughed and couldn't help but praise Lu Xiujuan.
"Girl, you didn't expect your brain to become brighter after you got married!"
Lu Xiujuan smiled and said nothing.
After Jiang Guihua came back, the family of three quickly discussed what "fake relic" to give to Lu Chen. In the end, after much discussion, they finally found a medal that was dropped by Lu Dashan into the gap of the closet and was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Lu Dashan remembered that this thing fell out of his second brother's envelope, but he thought it was worthless, so he ignored it. Later, he didn't know how it fell into the gap of the closet. Now he finally found it after rummaging through the closet.
As for the letter, it had of course disappeared long ago, and the passbook and remittance slip inside the letter were also dealt with by Lu Dashan.
I originally just wanted to find something randomly, but I didn't expect to actually find something that belonged to Lu Chen's father, so it doesn't count as cheating him.
That is, the allowance and martyrdom pension that his father sent back were all spent by Lu Dashan and his family.
"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go over and talk to him about this."
With the medal in hand, Lu Dashan never thought that this matter would fail.
When he reopened the small door that had been closed for several days, he saw Lu Chen making lunch.
Lu Dashan walked straight over and spoke to him.
"Lu Chen, I finally found your father's remains."
As soon as these words came out, the fire tongs in Lu Chen's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he immediately turned around and looked at Lu Dashan.
There was no time to conceal the shock and joy in his eyes.
Seeing such a drastic change in his emotions, Lu Dashan suddenly felt more confident.
"It's right here. It's proof of your father's glory. It's also the only thing he left in this world."
After a long while, Lu Chen stood up, suppressed the fluctuating emotions in his heart, walked towards Lu Dashan, and spoke.
"Give me the stuff."
The medal was in Lu Dashan's hand, but when Lu Chen asked for it, he did not give it to him. Instead, he suddenly made an embarrassed expression.
"But before I give it to you, Lu Chen, uncle wants you to promise one thing, okay?"
Knowing very well how attached Lu Chen was to his parents' relics, Lu Dashan was certain that no matter what he said, Lu Chen would agree.
Lu Chen looked at him deeply, and when he saw the calculation in Lu Dashan's eyes, he finally calmed down.
He had approached Lu Dashan's family countless times before, wanting them to give him his parents' belongings, but they always made various excuses. But now they suddenly said they had found the things and were offering to deliver them to their door. This behavior was naturally abnormal.
He did not respond immediately, but looked at Lu Dashan expressionlessly and asked, "What is it?"
Lu Dashan still looked extremely embarrassed.
"Oh, it's not a big deal. Just promise your uncle first, okay? As long as you promise me, I will give you your father's things."
I thought that since he said this, Lu Chen would definitely nod in agreement.
Who knew that in the next second, he saw Lu Chen looked at him coldly, and then spoke in a tone without any emotion.
"I don't agree."
Lu Dashan's eyes widened: "What?"
He thought he had heard wrongly.
"What did you say?"
Lu Chen continued to repeat expressionlessly: "I said, I don't agree."
"You, you, you, if you don't agree, I won't give you your father's things!"
Lu Dashan thought that his threat was enough to make Lu Chen compromise, but who knew that Lu Chen was not scared at all by his words. Instead, he pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled for the first time.
But that smile did not have a trace of warmth.
I don’t know why, but when Lu Dashan saw Lu Chen like this, he felt a sense of strangeness and a huge panic at the same time.
"Lu Chen, I am your uncle, what do you want to do?"
He stepped back unconsciously, and was about to reach the small door when he suddenly saw a flash of shadow before his eyes. Then his arm seemed to be hit by something, and the pain made him unconsciously loosen his hand.
