After receiving glances from Zhang Cuihua and Lu Rou, Liu Dafu gave a cold snort, but didn't say anything more, which was considered an admission of silence.
However, he still harbored some resentment and was unwilling to forgive Liu Yansong so easily, so he remained silent.
After calming the situation down, Lu Rou gently explained to the elderly couple why Liu Yansong was unwilling to spend money to buy grain.
“Father and Mother, you raised Song-gege, and you should know his character very well. It’s not that he’s unwilling to spend money to buy food for the family, but that he simply can’t afford it.”
Upon hearing Lu Rou's words, the elderly couple were about to angrily question her again, but this time Lu Rou did not give them a chance to speak and continued speaking on her own.
"Father and Mother, you have no idea how outrageous Zhu Qing is. She knew that Song Gege and I were together and couldn't stand seeing us doing well, so she directly had Song Gege's job taken away."
We didn't tell you before because we didn't want you two to worry. Brother Song has been working hard every day lately, thinking of finding a decent job so he can come back and give you both an explanation.
But as you all know, these days jobs are all one-person-one-job. My brother Song and I have no money, no power, and no connections, so finding jobs is extremely difficult..."
As she continued speaking, Lu Rou seemed to have suffered a great injustice and started to cry. This made the Liu family elders, who were originally prepared to be angry, feel embarrassed to scold the two of them anymore.
Moreover, according to Lu Rou, Liu Yansong's dismissal was not his fault at all, but rather Zhu Qinghao's interference, who used other means to make him lose his job.
As soon as Lu Rou started sobbing, Liu Yansong immediately acted like a good husband, going over to hold her shoulders and letting her lean on him.
For some reason, the elderly couple from the Liu family were momentarily dazed as they watched his actions, feeling that their son had finally grown up and had a sense of responsibility.
But their thoughts were quickly pulled back to reality. Now only the elderly couple had jobs, and they had to support three unemployed people in the family, one of whom was pregnant and the other was in the hospital.
Thinking about these things, the elderly couple seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and Liu Dafu's originally straight back bent over.
He remained silent for a long time, glancing occasionally at Liu Yansong and Lu Rong, then at his wife, before finally letting out a long sigh.
“Sigh, Yansong, you're a husband now, and soon to be a father. You need to straighten up, you know? You can't…”
Liu Yansong listened to his lecture, pursed his lips, and didn't take it seriously.
"Now that you're back, why don't you stay at home for now? It would be an extra expense if you two stayed outside."
Besides, Xiaorou is still in her early pregnancy, and since she'll be staying at home, someone will cook for her, which will finally put your mother's mind at ease."
Liu Yansong originally didn't want to pay attention to Liu Dafu, but when Lu Rou heard this, she pinched him hard on the chest, making him realize that it was time for him to play his part.
"Father, what are you saying? The doctor said that Rou'er is too weak to do these things."
Besides, isn't Xiaoqin at home? Why not let her help my mother cook instead of sending a pregnant woman? How can you even ask a pregnant woman to cook and take care of you all day long with her belly bulging? Don't you have any shame?
Liu Yansong's words were very impolite, but the elderly couple were indeed a little guilty, especially Liu Dafu, who felt his face burning as soon as he finished speaking. So even though Liu Yansong's words were very impolite, he did not refute them.
“Song, there’s nothing we can do about it. You know your sister, with her personality, she’s terrible at cooking. She just ruins everything, unlike Xiaorou who’s skillful and can do everything.”
Zhang Cuihua originally planned to promote Lu Rou and get her to take on the job voluntarily, but Lu Rou didn't fall for it at all.
