"Why did you ask Mingze to come back if there was nothing wrong?" Father Lu frowned and said when he heard his daughter's words.

"Isn't it just to call him back and discuss living in the city with him?" Lu Qingyan said in an annoyed voice: "I think it's just to bully Gu Mingze because he's honest. Otherwise, how could you call him back from so far away, regardless of his busy work?"

"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, don't say anything more. Otherwise, Mingze will be upset again when she hears it." Father Lu interrupted his daughter and stopped her from talking.

"I don't have to talk about this, but what they did was indeed wrong. When they divided the family, they evenly divided the money that Gu Mingze had mailed back a few years ago.

This time when we went back, my father-in-law said that if we didn't take them upstairs to the city, he would give them 200 yuan a year for retirement. Tell me, is there any father like this? "Lu Qingyan was very angry about this, but she couldn't say anything to the man. She could only look at her father and say, "It's normal for us to give retirement benefits to my parents-in-law every year, but this year it's only 200 yuan. No one is rich, so how can we afford so much?"

"Your father-in-law was indeed not thoughtful in this matter, but Mingze didn't agree, so just pretend it didn't happen and let him go." Father Lu also felt that what Old Man Gu did was too unreliable. Even if he wanted pension for his son, it would only be 30 or 40 yuan a year at most.

In rural areas, it is good to have 5 yuan of pension a year.

But he is not satisfied with 20 yuan a year and wants 200 yuan.

Old man Gu asked for so much money just because he saw how much his son-in-law earned every month.

Otherwise, why don’t his other sons have so many?

"Well, I was thinking about telling you guys so that you won't ask me about it later and make Gu Mingze feel bad." Lu Qingyan nodded and said nothing more. Instead, she looked at her father and asked, "Dad, where have you been all day?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I just haven't been back for a long time. I went out to see those old friends." Father Lu said with a smile.

"Oh." Lu Qingyan nodded.

"Dad, come with me into the house. I want to talk to you about something." When Lu Qingshan saw that his father and his younger sister had finished talking, he stood up and called his father to go back to the house to talk with him.

"What do you want from me? Are you still cheating on your little sister?" Father Lu followed his eldest son to his room, sat on the kang and asked.

"Just now my younger sister told me that she wants to take care of you and my mother in our old age, and I agreed." Lu Qingshan sat next to his father and said: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to take care of you and my mother in our old age, but if you were at home, you would definitely be worried about my younger sister.

So I thought, it would be better to just let you stay with my little sister. Also, with the current situation at home, it would be annoying to have you stay at home, so it would be better if you just didn’t stay at home.”

"Dashan, we'll talk about whether your younger sister will provide for us in our old age later. Let's talk about your situation first." Father Lu heard his son talking, sighed, looked at his son and said: "Look at how you live, it's worse than when your mother and I were at home."

"Dad, before, when you and my mom were at home, you could control Chen Juan and prevent her from taking things back to her parents' home. Now that you are not at home and no one is controlling her, she dares to take things at will." Lu Qingshan felt a headache when he thought of what Chen Juan had done, so he looked at his father and said:

"Chen Juan has been married to me for so many years. It's fine for her to give some things to her parents' home, but she chose to give food to her parents' home when they were short of food. This is a bit wrong."

"If I tell her that she can take the food if she wants, and you just need to take care of your things, and she can do whatever she wants with the rest, and she will be the one starving when there is no food at night, wouldn't I be afraid that she won't reflect on herself then?" Father Lu disagreed with his son's approach, and he also didn't agree with his eldest daughter-in-law's approach.

But people should not be too radical in doing things. The more you forbid her to do so, the more she will go against you.

Suddenly one day when you ignore her, she will start to get nervous and come to you to ask why you ignore her.

So you should pamper a woman when you should pamper her, control her when you should, and pretend not to know when you should.

If you keep haggling over trivial matters every day, then you might as well end your life as soon as possible. What's the point of living?

"Dad, this is what I'm doing now. I divide everything in half. She can give it to whoever she wants. I don't care anyway." Lu Qingshan agreed with his father very much and said with a smile in his eyes: "Since I distributed the things to others, she really hasn't given the food from home to her parents' family. This is pretty good."

"Alas, maybe you are too happy too early?" Father Lu looked at his son like this, shook his head and said helplessly: "Now you have split everything in half, but you still have to ask her from time to time and care about her. In this way, you won't distract her from you. When your mother-in-law comes and says something nice, Chen Juan will be moved again."

"Then I understand." Lu Qingshan listened to his father's words and became thoughtful. He felt that what he had done during this period was a little wrong.

"It's enough for you to know. After all, you two still have two children, Gangzi and Shitou. If you can live together, live well. If you can't live together, try to make do. After all, there are no divorced families in our village. If you are the first one, it will really make your father proud." After saying this, Father Lu stood up and went to the kitchen to find his wife.

"Have you finished talking to your son?" Mother Lu had just seen the old man and the eldest son enter the house, so she asked when she saw them come out.

Section 67

"Well, that's it. As for what he wants to do, it's up to him." Father Lu nodded and responded.

"When you were not at home just now, the eldest son's wife said that the third son's wife took more than 100 kilograms of food to his parents' home when it rained. You can go to the third son's house later and ask him to come out and talk." Mother Lu hoped that her children were here to collect debts, but she still said, "Xiao Yan said we will leave tomorrow, so you can go there later. And don't forget to go to the second son's house. Say what you need to say. If they don't want to listen, forget it."

"Well, Dashan just told me that my daughter told him that she would take care of us in our old age, and Dashan agreed." Father Lu sighed and looked at the old woman and said, "Why don't you think about this?"

"Since Dashan has agreed, I will take away the things that need to be taken away. From now on, the two of us old people will live with our daughter." Mother Lu was reluctant to leave her daughter, and when she heard her eldest son agree, she said without hesitation.

"Okay, I get it. You do it. I'll go to the second and third sons' houses to check." Father Lu nodded and turned around and walked out.
