Reason told He Jiuniang that this was not right; she could be moved, but not deeply involved. But in reality, she was already deeply entangled.
She was somewhat conflicted, but then she thought, why not?
So far, apart from the matter with Jiang Ruoya, most of the things Lu Baichuan has done have pleased her. Such a person is rare, not only in this era but also in later generations.
She didn't lose out in this round.
Since that's the case, let's see how Lu Baichuan behaves next. If he reflects seriously and is willing to correct his mistakes, then she can forgive and forget.
Lu Baichuan had been locked in his study and hadn't come for lunch by midday. He Jiuniang just had someone keep the food warm for him, but didn't say what he was busy with.
Gou'er whispered to Sun Shi, "It seems that Father has angered Mother."
Sun leaned closer with a gossipy look on her face: "What do you mean?"
"Last night I dreamt that my father asked me what a self-criticism was. He's probably writing one right now!"
The dog looked so proud and smug. If Lu Baichuan saw it, he would probably have a heart attack from anger.
Sun asked, "What is a self-criticism?"
"It's a confession. Mother said before that if anyone doesn't study hard and wastes tuition fees, they have to write a self-criticism of several thousand words for her to see. None of us have ever written one, but now Father has written one."
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun immediately said, "Then why leave him any food? I'll go tell the kitchen not to leave him any food. He doesn't deserve to eat!"
In her opinion, anyone could make his wife angry, but Lu Baichuan couldn't.
He was gone for four years, leaving He Jiuniang and her son to struggle to make ends meet. Later, they were able to settle down in Jingzhou and live a good life thanks to He Jiuniang. She was the benefactor of their whole family, but Lu Baichuan did not know how to cherish her and even angered her. What right did he have to eat?
It would be best to starve him for three days and three nights!
The dog blinked, suddenly feeling sorry for his father, as no one in the family was standing with him.
Yes, he's on his mother's side too.
Sun pulled the dog over and whispered, "Go tell your father to write it properly, or Grandma will find you a new father."
The dog opened its mouth wide, slowly nodded, and then dashed off towards the study.
Lu Baichuan was writing furiously. Unlike before, this time he had a lot to write. He deeply expressed his remorse for the whole thing and stated that he would no longer hide anything from He Jiuniang. He also mentioned Wei Yu from Qianfan Pavilion and kept stating that he only felt it was necessary to report his relationship with Wei Yu to her.
When Gou'er arrived, the article was already being finished. Hearing that his mother wanted to change Gou'er's father, he started to panic. He knew his mother was absolutely capable of doing that kind of thing.
"Father, you must write well to make Mother happy. I don't want to change fathers."
The dog looked at him with longing; he still preferred his father to others.
Lu Baichuan felt a pang of guilt. Gou'er already lacked a sense of security with him, and this time, with this outburst, he must be feeling incredibly sad.
"Don't worry, Father will."
Doggy nodded immediately and laughed, "I was right! Daddy really did anger Mommy and he's writing a self-criticism now!"
Lu Baichuan: ...Did the little brat trick me?
The dog turned and ran off to report to Mrs. Sun.
Lu Baichuan took a deep breath and continued writing.
He Jiuniang tidied herself up and went out with Sun Shi, heading straight to the clubhouse.
The club's renovation is nearing completion. It will be fully finished in three or four days, and after a few more days of airing out to remove any odors, it will be ready to open for business.
As for the staff needed for the meeting, she had already asked Cheng Xuewei to prepare them. The training should be over by now, and they can start working immediately.
Their main reason for going there today was to check the specifics and see if there were any changes that needed to be made.
On the way, Sun asked He Jiu Niang somewhat nervously, "Did the third son upset you?"
"Not really, it's just that he was hiding something from me, and when I found out, I taught him a lesson."
He Jiuniang had a special feeling for Sun Shi, as she was both an elder and a younger sister, so she was willing to share such things with her.
"What? I dared to hide things from you!"
Sun glared at him, "Then don't give him dinner either! I'll talk to him when I get back. If he doesn't want to work here anymore, we'll find someone else!"
He Jiuniang: ...
Ms. Sun's open-mindedness was something she hadn't expected.
However, He Jiuniang had no intention of replacing anyone for the time being, so she quickly changed the subject.
After taking a look around the club, I noticed that under Old Man Lu's supervision, the club was built exceptionally well this time. It was built exactly according to her requirements, and Old Man Lu had taken good care of some details that He Jiu Niang had not considered.
Sun couldn't help but whisper, "I didn't expect the old man to be somewhat reliable. I thought he couldn't handle it."
"Don't underestimate your father. He traveled all over the country when he was young."
He Jiuniang smiled and spoke up for Old Man Lu. Old Man Lu had gone to the street to buy things himself today and hadn't come along. Otherwise, he would definitely have talked about the great things he had seen when he was young.
"Alright, alright, what's so special about him? Let's not talk about him anymore! Come on, let's take another walk around and then go check on the workers."
Sun was somewhat disgusted with her old man and didn't want to continue the topic, so she pulled He Jiu Niang forward.
It's clear that she cares a lot about the club, because He Jiuniang had previously said that once she went to the capital, the club would be left to the care of the elderly couple.
Mrs. Sun felt that she couldn't rely on her husband, so she had to take better care of him herself.
She had previously introduced her family's clothing and snacks to her newly acquainted friends, which boosted their business and instantly sparked their interest in doing business.
Although the club is very large and difficult to manage, she is still very confident in herself, since she has nothing better to do than idle around.
As for the capital, she wanted to go, but she would wait until her son and daughter-in-law were settled before going; going now would only cause trouble.
Afterwards, they went to see Cheng Xuewei to check on the workers. He Jiuniang then took Sun Shi to experience a massage.
Before long, Mrs. Sun fell asleep comfortably.
Meanwhile, He Jiuniang whispered to Cheng Xuewei about business matters.
"After I leave, I'll leave the club to you, my parents, and me. Please be understanding if they don't understand something. I'll also have Lianhua and the others keep an eye on things."
The opening day is the best time to train people. He Jiuniang plans to bring all the children, including Lianhua, over. Once things are stable, she will consider whether to send them back or let them stay. However, there is a high chance that Lianhua and Lu Xiaoyang will stay.
Cheng Xuewei nodded and said, "Don't worry, this is our property. I will definitely keep a close eye on it, and nothing will happen."
This club has received a lot of investment and has a powerful background, so there's no need to worry about anyone causing trouble. They just need to focus on running their own business well.
Although He Jiuniang is no longer here, the Lu family will still be watching. She needs to make some contributions so that He Jiuniang can see her value and be willing to cooperate with her when there are new projects.
