“Our family needs to maintain a good relationship with the Lu family. We should take this opportunity to go and offer our congratulations. They won’t kick us out.”
“Mom, even if Jingxing doesn’t agree to marry into the family, I can still marry him. Don’t you know what I’m capable of? What the Lu family has, the He family will have too.”
He Lijuan needs to win over her mother first before she can win over her father.
She knew very well that with the current rate at which the Lu family's pastry shop was making money, earning five million a year would be very easy.
If we open branches, and there are two pastry shops in six or seven nearby counties, then we can earn 60 million yuan a year.
This number is simply astronomical.
The country's annual tobacco tax revenue doesn't even reach this amount.
In addition, Lu Sen and Yun Ping are honest and kind people, so being their daughter-in-law would definitely not be a burden or a victim of mistreatment.
Especially his eldest daughter-in-law, who is practically a mistress, will be highly respected by Lu Jingxing's five younger brothers, including their future wives.
What she said was exactly what Yunping said.
After all, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother.
Eldest son and grandson.
In the future, half of the Lu family's assets will belong to her and Lu Jingxing.
If she were to have a baby and give birth to a grandson, she might inherit the entire family fortune.
Then she's a winner in life.
Even if it's only half of the family fortune, it's not bad. At worst, I can have more sons to divide the inheritance.
“Juanzi, you’re right. As long as you marry Lu Jingxing, whether you marry him or he becomes his son-in-law, the property will be marital property, and you will have half of it.”
He's mother suddenly understood; she was willing to give anything for her youngest daughter.
"Honey, let's give in! For the sake of our child's happiness and our family's well-being."
"I'm not going!" He Guoqiang stubbornly insisted, believing that if he gave in to Lu Sen, wouldn't the Lu family look down on him in the future?
If someone rushes to marry off their daughter, they will be looked down upon.
He's a man, and he understands men best.
Besides, the Lu family has fallen on hard times in recent years, and every time he has given them money to help them through their difficulties, it is he who looks down on the Lu family.
How can the Lu family look down on us now?
it's out of the question!
“Honey, you have to go for Juanzi’s sake. You love her the most, and you don’t want to see her marry into a good family and live the life of a rich lady.”
He's mother grabbed He Guoqiang's arm and tried to persuade him, her eyes red with anxiety.
"Dad, you love me the most. I love Jingxing, and I want to marry him. Look how much weight I've lost lately! Do you want to watch me die?"
He Lijuan also joined the group trying to force He Guoqiang to back down.
In the past two weeks, she has been so preoccupied with her relationship with Lu Jingxing that she has lost her appetite and lost six or seven pounds, becoming almost unrecognizable.
Looking at his youngest daughter's face, He Guoqiang's eyes reddened.
Thinking that daughters grow up and cannot be kept at home, keeping them will only lead to enmity.
There's a reason why daughters are often outgoing.
I can only blame myself for not raising my daughter well.
"You old man, if our daughter dies, I'll fight you to the death!" Mother He patted He Guoqiang's chest, but with little force.
"You know what kind of people Lu Sen and Yun Ping are. It's a blessing for our daughter to marry into their family. I guarantee that with their personalities and temperaments, they definitely won't bully Juanzi."
"Alright, alright! I'll go, okay!" He Guoqiang was so angry that he glared at his mother and turned his back on her.
For his daughter's sake and for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to put aside his pride.
Hopefully, the Lu family won't let us down.
Otherwise, it's because they don't know what's good for them.
After thinking for a minute, He Guoqiang, along with his wife and daughter, approached the Lu family.
There were two other groups of people not far away, standing still and not going over to take the candy and pastries.
One of the groups consisted of Lu Miao and his wife, along with their five daughters.
As soon as they arrived, they saw hundreds of people from the entire village gathered around Lu Sen's family, creating a very lively scene.
"Look at your second brother, he has money to give candy to outsiders, but he won't give you any money to spend." Liu Hongmei said indignantly, her eyes flashing with hatred.
“I don’t think you’re his real brother. He gives money to outsiders but doesn’t give you a single penny. Don’t call him second brother anymore. We’re not related to them.”
Lu Miao shoved her. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're crazy! I won't allow you to talk nonsense."
Since she has been unable to conceive and give birth to a son in recent years, she has become even more eccentric and her personality has changed drastically.
He didn't force her to have a son; in fact, he even got a tubal ligation to prove his resolve.
What else does she want?
It's not like she's the only one who has a daughter; He Guoqiang also only had three daughters.
Each village has four or five such families with three or two daughters.
This phenomenon is more prevalent across the country, so there's absolutely no need to obsess over having a son.
"You bastard, you're bullying me! I want a divorce." Liu Hongmei had had enough of this life. Lu Miao had no charm, couldn't say a kind word, and had never spoken a gentle word to her.
They are very nice to outsiders.
Liu Hongmei ran away crying, and her fifth daughter, Lu Xiaoli, chased after her.
The other daughters didn't react; their eyes were fixed on the candies and pastries that the Lu family had given away not far away.
They hadn't had candy and snacks in a long time.
I remember two months ago, Yunping gave them some cured meat and pastries.
That tasted really good.
"Dad, let's go find Uncle! Don't be angry with Mom, that's just how she is. We've almost finished delivering all the pastries." The third daughter, Lu Xiaojuan, shook Lu Miao's arm.
"Dad, my little sister wants candy, and we want candy too," the fourth daughter, Lu Xiaojing, called sweetly, holding her sixth sister, Lu Xiaona, in her arms.
"Once we get the candy and pastries, Dad will go back and coax Mom, and she won't be angry anymore,"
