What angered Lu Guoqing even more was yet to come.
Lu Guoan's family even locked the kitchen door, so they couldn't cook anything for themselves. After discussing it, Lu Guoqing and Qin Manman took the gifts and went to the homes of other relatives on the Lu family's main branch.
I figured that if I gave a gift, I could at least get a meal out of it.
To their surprise, they visited three different homes, but none of them allowed them in, and their gifts were thrown out at them as well.
It was evening, the time when everyone was out chatting with their rice bowls in hand, when they saw this scene, and everyone laughed so hard they were bent over.
Lu Guoqing hadn't been so humiliated in a long time, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"A bunch of ungrateful bastards."
To everyone's surprise, this remark stirred up a hornet's nest, and the people around him started arguing back.
Lu Guoqing was no match for them and was soon defeated, slinking back to Lu Guoan's house in disgrace.
The two were both angry and hungry.
“Brother Lu, why are the people in your village so unfriendly? It’s a shame you thought of coming back to help them. I don’t think there’s any need to come back at all. We should just go back to Pengcheng as soon as possible and stay here from now on.”
In the port city, Lu Guoqing's status was not high. He had no real ability, and many people greeted him with smiles only because of Boss Yang.
But it's different in Pengcheng. He represents the investors of Shengya Group. Even if he doesn't have much real power, people don't know that he has the title of deputy manager, so they treat him with great respect.
Moreover, the cost of living in Pengcheng is low. Out of consideration for his savior, Boss Yang gives Lu Guoqing a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan. This is not a high salary in Gangcheng and is not enough to live on, but it is different in Pengcheng. With such a salary, one can live very comfortably.
Qin Manman felt that it would be good for the two of them to stay in Pengcheng from now on.
Lu Guoqing also had this thought at this moment, wanting to return to Pengcheng as soon as possible. He had already realized that the people in the village did not like him. Even though he was now richer than them, they seemed to disdain to flatter or fawn over him.
I don't know when they became so principled, they don't even bother to accept gifts or red envelopes from us.
"Okay, I'll go to the construction site to find Xiaojun tomorrow and ask him to come back to Pengcheng with us."
Qin Manman's eyes flickered, she touched her lower abdomen, pursed her lips, and softly replied, "Okay."
To be honest, deep down she didn't want Lu Xiaojun to go with them. After all, she was pregnant and about to have her own child, and she didn't want another person to compete with her child for the family fortune.
She just couldn't say it outright, so she could only take it one step at a time and hope that the other party would take the initiative to say that they didn't want to go back with them.
"And Xiaoqin, I also want her to get a divorce and come with us. Spend more time with her these next few days, tell her about the outside world, and let her know how great it is outside."
Qin Manman never expected that he would even want to take his married daughter with him.
She said, "That's not a good idea. After all, she's already married and might even have a child. She definitely won't want to leave."
That's why I asked you to go and try to persuade her.
"But given our relationship, I'm afraid she'll reject me and might not listen to what I say."
"Then you have to think of a way to make sure she leaves with us too."
Seeing his insistence, Qin Manman dared not refute him and could only reluctantly agree.
Seeing that she was somewhat reluctant to bring Lu Xiaoqin along, Lu Guoqing thought for a moment and then told her the real reason why he wanted to bring Lu Xiaoqin along.
When Qin Manman heard that he planned to take Lu Xiaoqin to Hong Kong to be a rich man's concubine, she immediately stopped objecting.
That's a good idea. With Lu Xiaoqin's beauty, and with a little dressing up, she would definitely not lose out to the beauties of Hong Kong.
If Lu Guoqing could really become a rich man's concubine, it would definitely be beneficial for him.
You should know that those men are very generous to their concubines. As long as they are pleased, jewelry, cars, and houses are all given away without hesitation.
If she could have another child, she would be even more extravagant.
It's definitely not like how Boss Yang would treat his savior with just over two thousand a month.
She once fantasized about becoming the concubine of a wealthy tycoon, but unfortunately, she wasn't pretty enough, and more importantly, she used to be a prostitute and had even been kidnapped by the underworld...
If Lu Guoqing hadn't seen and saved her when she was abandoned by those people, she probably would have died in that stinking ditch by the roadside long ago.
To her, Lu Guoqing was her savior and the best man she could ever be with.
"Okay, since you have this plan, then I know what to do. You are also planning for Xiaoqin's future, and she will understand your good intentions."
"You understand me best."
Lu Guoqing pulled the person into his arms and was about to kiss him when he heard a gurgling sound.
Both of them were startled, only then realizing that they hadn't eaten dinner yet.
"Brother Lu, I'm so hungry. How about we skip sending those gifts? They don't want them anyway, and we can at least fill our stomachs with something to eat," Qin Manman suggested.
"Okay, let's eat."
I had no choice but to eat; I was just too hungry.
The two pulled out all the snacks like biscuits, canned goods, and candy, and ate two boxes of biscuits and four cans of canned goods before they felt full.
After eating their fill, and with darkness falling, neither of them felt like going out for a stroll. Staying indoors with nothing to do was also quite boring, so the two went to bed early.
The two men had no idea when Lu Guoan's family returned, nor when they left the next day.
All I know is that after I woke up, the whole family was gone again.
The two opened a box of cookies and two cans of food for breakfast.
They were both very glad they had bought so many groceries, otherwise the two of them probably would have starved to death.
After breakfast, the two went out to find Lu Xiaoqin and Lu Xiaojun.
Thinking that the construction site was still some distance away, and that they would wait for Deputy Secretary Guo and the others to bring their car before going there, they decided to go find Lu Xiaoqin first.
After asking around, it was discovered that Lu Xiaoqin had married Xu Dong, and they lived in the former house of Sun Ziqiang, which was next to Sun Changsheng's house.
Thinking of Sun Changsheng inevitably brought to mind the cuckolding Zhang Yuping had given him. His face immediately darkened.
Qin Manman asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Guoqing naturally wouldn't mention his embarrassing past. He said, "Xu Dong has no parents and his family has been poor since he was a child. They never knew where their next meal would come from. I don't know how Xiaoqin ended up marrying him."
Qin Manman thought to herself, even though he ran away back then, Lu Xiaoqin wasn't without parents. What kind of good family could she marry into? It's already good enough that someone doesn't mind her background or the burden of having a younger brother and is willing to marry her.
However, these thoughts can only remain in my mind.
She said, "Isn't this perfect? The worse the conditions, the easier it is for us to persuade Xiaoqin to come with us."
