To avoid being called stingy, Lu Guoqing gritted his teeth and took out another 120 yuan, giving each child 40 yuan.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
The three children certainly have sweet tongues.
Hearing the commotion outside, Lu Xiaoqin came out and saw Lu Guoqing and Qin Manman. With a stern face, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I heard you got married, so I came to see you. I didn't expect you to have three children already," Lu Guoqing said.
Lu Xiaoqin looked at the three children and knew that he had misunderstood, but she didn't explain.
"My child has nothing to do with you, get out of here." Lu Xiaoqin made a move to shoo them away.
Qin Manman quickly said, "How could it be unrelated? We are the child's maternal grandparents, we are family."
Lu Xiaoqin sneered, "Who's family with you? Where's your shame? You're not even as old as me, yet you want to be my grandmother. How shameless!"
Qin Manman didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued, but she had encountered even more vicious things before, and a few mild words couldn't hurt her.
She smiled and said, "Xiaoqin, you and your father are still father and daughter, and the blood ties can never be severed. Your father has always thought of you and Xiaojun all these years. Look at these children. Just now, your father gave them a red envelope with more than a hundred yuan on it. They called him 'Grandpa' so affectionately."
When Lu Xiaoqin saw that she didn't get angry, her heart sank. This woman was patient and not easy to deal with.
He stared at her for a few seconds before letting out a disdainful sneer.
Turning to the three children, he asked, "Did you receive red envelopes?"
The three children immediately took out the money.
Lu Xiaoqin didn't take it, and said, "Then you should keep it safe yourselves."
If you have money, don't be a bastard. If someone is willing to give it to you, just accept it. After all, no one says you have to forgive someone just because you accepted money.
The three children obediently nodded in agreement.
Lu Guoqing was overjoyed, thinking that Lu Xiaoqin had been appeased by the red envelopes, but to his surprise, she continued to chase him away the next second.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? You're not welcome in our home, so get out of here."
She took the broom and swept the area where the two were standing, sweeping left and right.
The two retreated quickly, eventually reaching the courtyard gate, where Lu Xiaoqin swiftly closed it.
He didn't say a single important word, and even gave away 150 yuan, yet he was ruthlessly kicked out. Lu Guoqing immediately felt utterly humiliated, and his anger flared up.
He pounded on the gate, yelling, "Lu Xiaoqin, open the gate! I'm your father! You took the money and now you're turning your back on me..."
Qin Manman hadn't expected to be kicked out like this. She tried to persuade her, "Xiaoqin, don't be like this. The past is the past. Now that your dad is finally back, we should all be good family..."
"Splash—"
Lu Xiaoqin opened the courtyard gate and splashed out a basin of water.
"Ahhhhh..."
Both of them were soaked to the bone, and Qin Manman jumped up and down screaming.
Lu Guoqing wiped the water off his face and roared, "Lu, Xiao, Qin!"
Lu Xiaoqin, holding the wooden basin, sneered, "What, aren't you leaving yet? If you don't leave, what we'll spill won't be water, it'll be manure."
"You, you, you... how did you become like this? You used to be so well-behaved and sensible."
Lu Xiaoqin rolled her eyes. "It's all because of you. Are you leaving or not? If you don't, my manure bucket won't recognize you."
Qin Manman tugged at her wet clothes, feeling very uncomfortable.
She tugged at Lu Guoqing, "Brother Lu, let's go first, go back and change into some clean clothes before we go find Xiaojun."
Lu Guoqing thought for a moment. Since Lu Xiaoqin was difficult to win over, he decided to go find Lu Xiaojun first.
If Lu Xiaojun agrees to go with him, then it will be much easier for him to persuade Lu Xiaoqin.
The two returned to Lu Guoan's house and had just changed into clean clothes when Guo Conglin and his group drove up.
The group then went to the construction site.
They still couldn't get in this time, so Lu Guoqing asked the gatekeeper to call Lu Xiaojun out.
Lu Xiaojun knew it was him and ignored him completely.
"I'm sorry, Xiaojun said he's very busy."
In fact, Lu Xiaojun's original words were to tell them to get lost and not to bother him again.
Seeing that there were leaders present, the messenger didn't dare to say anything too outrageous.
The group returned empty-handed once again.
Lu Guoqing was furious; his children were practically his nemesis.
He wouldn't have bothered to tolerate them again and again if they weren't useful.
Feeling he had lost face in front of Guo Conglin, he sullenly snorted and stormed off the construction site.
Guo Conglin suggested, "Boss Lu, how about I go talk to Captain Lu and ask him to invite Comrade Lu Xiaojun to our house? Father and son don't hold grudges overnight; we can talk things out when they meet."
I thought I should quickly resolve my personal matters so I could focus more on work.
Lu Guoqing had no better solution at the moment, so he agreed to his suggestion.
The car drove to the brigade headquarters. Guo Conglin went to find Lu Guoan, while Lu Guoqing, Qin Manman, and two followers wandered around the village.
This was the first time he had properly looked around the village since he returned. He was surprised to find that a supply and marketing cooperative had been established there, and wondered if there had been any other changes.
After wandering around, I found that it really was true. The village had set up a rabbit farm and a pig farm, and there was even a sizable sanatorium built at the foot of the mountain. No wonder the road was repaired and the village had electricity.
Looking at it this way, the village has changed quite a bit over the years.
No matter how things changed, he couldn't see anything worthwhile to invest in or set up a factory in this remote mountain village.
Are they going to process rabbits and pork?
But how much money can you make from this? And why would the boss in Hong Kong invest hundreds of millions?
I really don't understand what kind of thought process that Hong Kong boss has.
