Chapter 161: Troubled Matters



When Lu Qingyan saw Gangzi crying, she reached out to wipe Gangzi's tears and said helplessly: "Don't cry, tell your aunt if you have anything, please stop crying, okay?"

"Aunt, my parents are silent now, and my mother doesn't even pay attention to me. I feel so sad." Gangzi grabbed Lu Qingyan's hand and cried louder and louder.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Mother Lu heard her eldest grandson crying in the kitchen and hurried into the house with a shovel and asked.

"Mom, Gangzi said that my eldest brother and sister-in-law ate separately. Now they are not talking to each other, and my sister-in-law is ignoring Gangzi. What's going on?" Lu Qingyan was relieved when she saw her mother enter the room, and then asked

"Well, it was during the heavy rain some time ago that your eldest sister-in-law secretly took food from home to her parents' home. Your eldest brother disagreed and stopped her, so she went to your second and third sister-in-law's homes to borrow food. Then your second brother came home and told your eldest brother." After Lu's mother finished speaking, she sat on the kang, sighed, and said:

"Your eldest brother wanted to send your eldest sister-in-law back to her parents' home, but your eldest sister-in-law begged and promised him so much that your eldest brother softened his heart and forgave him.

But last time, your sister-in-law took some food from home and gave it to her mother while your eldest brother was out. But her mother had just walked out of our house when she was seen by your eldest brother who came back.

The elder brother was furious and said no matter what, he would ask you to go back to your parents' home as soon as possible, and that he didn't want her anymore and wanted a divorce.

"Then how did they end up living apart?" Lu Qingyan didn't understand. They said they were divorced, so how could they still be together? Although they said they ate and lived separately, they lived in the same courtyard, so in the eyes of others, they were still together.

"Just then the captain came over, and your sister-in-law knelt down and begged your brother in front of him. Thinking of Gangzi and Shitou who were still young, your brother said they would separate but not divorce." Mother Lu didn't expect so many things would happen in the family after she and the old man left. If she had known earlier, forget it. Even if she had known earlier, she and the old man would still go to serve their daughter.

"Even if we eat and live separately, Gangzi is still their child. My sister-in-law can't ignore Gangzi." Lu Qingyan didn't want to care about what the adults did, but she couldn't bear it if they hurt Gangzi and Shitou.

"Your eldest brother doesn't care, so don't worry about it." Mother Lu didn't want her daughter to get involved in the relationship between her eldest brother and his wife. If she did it well, it would be fine, but if she did it badly, she would be blamed.

"I don't mean to get involved, but Gangzi and Shitou are so young, and my sister-in-law treats them like this. How can she still treat them well when they grow up?" After Lu Qingyan said this, she saw Gangzi eavesdropping on their conversation with his ears perked up, so she immediately shut up and stopped talking.

If adults have something to say, they should say it behind the children's backs and not talk nonsense in front of the children.

What if the children take their words to heart? What will happen in the future?

"Don't think about those useless things. You stay here and play with Gangzi and Shitou. I'm going to continue cooking." Mother Lu stood up, shook her head, and went out to cook.

"Is it delicious? Auntie still has some. When you finish it, I'll give you another one." After seeing her mother leave, Lu Qingyan looked at Shitou who was eating the biscuits in silence, reached out and touched his head, and said with a smile

"No, auntie, please save all the food for your little brother in your belly." Shitou shook his head and told his auntie to save all the biscuits and White Rabbit candies for the baby in her belly. These were enough for him.

"The baby in my aunt's belly can't eat yet, so I'll leave all these delicious foods for you and Gangzi." Lu Qingyan looked at the two sensible children and couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.

But it’s a pity that I won’t be able to accompany my two children in the future. I can only accompany them well while I am still at home.

"It's time to eat." Mother Lu brought two bowls of noodles and placed them on the table in the main hall. Then she turned around and went to the kitchen to get two small bowls of noodles. These two bowls of noodles were made for her two grandsons.

"Let's go, your grandma has cooked for us, let's go eat now." Lu Qingyan heard her mother's call, slowly got up, put on her shoes, and led the two children out

Gu Mingze followed behind and carefully protected his wife, fearing that she might not be able to walk steadily.

"Gangzi, Shitou, come and eat. Grandma made this for you." Seeing her two grandchildren coming out, Mother Lu asked them to sit down and eat.

"Mom, where's my dad? I've been here for a long time, but I haven't seen him." Lu Qingyan went to wash her hands, walked in and looked at her mother and asked

"He went out to chat with someone. He said he hadn't been back for a long time. I went out to take a look." Mother Lu is not as carefree as the old man. There are so many troubles at home. If she doesn't think about how to deal with them, how can she have the energy to go out for a walk?

"Mom, you should go with her later. Go out and chat with the old ladies. This time, I really don't know when I will be back." After hearing this, Lu Qingyan asked her mother to go out for a walk as well, so that she wouldn't have to worry about when she would be back next time.

"I won't go out. I'll go visit your second and third brothers later and wait for your eldest brother to come back and talk about family matters." If Mother Lu hadn't seen that her daughter really had no one to take care of her during the confinement period, she would not have planned to leave this time.

It was because she had been away for such a long time and so many troubles had happened at home that she felt uneasy leaving.

After hearing what her mother said, Lu Qingyan finally nodded and stopped talking.

After all, the elderly are worried about their children. If they ask her not to worry, can she really not worry?

"I'm full. I'm going to sleep first. I'm so sleepy after all the hard work along the way." After finishing her meal, Lu Qingyan put down her bowl and chopsticks and strolled around the yard for two laps. After digesting the food, she went into the house, lay on the kang, covered herself with a thin quilt, and fell asleep soon.

"Mingze, you should go back to your room and have a sleep after you finish eating. You've had a tiring journey. Have a good rest today because you'll have more to do in the car tomorrow." When Mother Lu saw her son-in-law finish his meal and stand up to wash the dishes, she walked over to stop him and told him to go back to his room and sleep.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go to bed first." Gu Mingze was now physically and mentally exhausted. He just wanted to lie on the kang and sleep soundly for the whole day without thinking about anything.

In this way, not only can I recover my mood quickly, but I can also have a good rest and take care of my wife on the train tomorrow.

"Gangzi, Shitou, you two can play in the yard. Don't go into the house to disturb your aunt and uncle." Mother Lu took the dishes to the kitchen and said to the two grandsons who were following her.

"Grandma, are you, aunt, uncle, and grandpa leaving tomorrow?" Gangzi's eyes turned red when he thought of his grandma and aunt who had finally come back, and his grandpa who was leaving again.

"Gangzi, you know your aunt is going to have a baby. Grandma, if you don't go to take care of your aunt, then there will be no one to take care of her." Mother Lu felt very distressed to see her grandson like this.

But she couldn't stay at home, so she could only bend over and hug her eldest grandson to coax him.
