Section 103

Although Liu Fang agreed verbally, she couldn't relax at all. She sat there very stiffly, not knowing what to do.

"Eat, and then go inside and have a good sleep. This will be your home from now on, so you don't have to be so reserved." Seeing that his new wife was so uncomfortable in his own home, Lu Qingshan used his chopsticks to pick up some food for her and put it in the bowl, and whispered to her to comfort her.

"Okay, I understand." Liu Fang was very touched by her newlywed husband's behavior, so she smiled and nodded, and slowly relaxed.

The Lu family members watched the interaction between the newlyweds, their eyes filled with relief and joy.

After all, as long as they get along well, their future life will definitely be better. How can this not make them happy?

So, after dinner, Lu's mother and Zhao Xiaohua pushed Liu Fang back to her room, saying that a new bride cannot do any work for three days after getting married.

Liu Fang had no idea there was such a thing. She just felt that she was a really nice mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

It’s so good for her that she doesn’t have to do any work after marrying into the family.

But Lu's mother and Zhao Xiaohua had no idea that Liu Fang would think this way.

At this moment, a group of people were sitting in the main room and talking in low voices about the Chen family.

"We just told the brigade and the Liujiawan brigade leader that if Chen Juan doesn't sever ties with the two children, she will have to pay child support every month." Father Lu took a sip of the tea on the table and continued, "But Chen Juan can barely support herself, so how could she agree to pay child support for two children? She just keeps throwing a tantrum."

Later, the team leader of Liujiawan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Chen Juan can sever ties with the two children, but when Chen Juan gets old, the two children must pay for their retirement every month. After all, it's not easy for Chen Juan to give birth to two children and raise them to this age."

"We said so at the beginning, but Chen Juan and the Chen family disagreed, and we had no choice." Father Lu heard what Captain Liujiawan said, and said helplessly.

"Chen Juan, the Lu family has done a very honest job. Don't be unsatisfied. If you continue to make the Lu family sever ties with you and ask you to pay child support, I'll see what you'll do next." When the Liujiawan team leader heard what the Lu family said, he pulled Chen Juan aside and persuaded her earnestly for a long time before convincing her.

Although the Chen family was unwilling to see Chen Juan break off relations with her two children, they had no choice but to agree reluctantly as they still had to live in the brigade and could not afford to offend the brigade leader.

Just like that, Gu Mingze wrote an agreement to sever ties and asked both the Lu and Chen families to put their fingerprints on it, which completely solved the Chen family's problem.

"That's how it is. I feel it's pretty good. After all, no matter how wrong Chen Juan is, she is still the biological mother of the two children. When she is old and the two children are grown up, giving her some money and food every month can be regarded as repaying her for giving birth to them." Father Lu felt that his family had done enough. If Chen Juan still didn't agree, then they really had nothing to say.

"If you ask me, a woman like this should be allowed to sleep on the street when she gets old, and let Gangzi and Shitou give her pension, instead of relying on the two children." Zhao Xiaohua heard her father-in-law's words and interrupted him with disapproval.

"By that time, the two children will be grown up, and whether they support their mother or not will not be our business." Lu Qingshan said calmly after hearing what Zhao Xiaohua said.

In fact, he also thought so in his heart. When the two children grow up, it is their business who they want to raise.

What they, as the elders, are doing now is to ensure that Chen Juan does not come and disturb them during their growing stage.

"Oh." Zhao Xiaohua heard the father say this, so she didn't want to interrupt him, so she nodded and shut up.

"I think this is a good idea. Now that we have severed our relationship, Chen Juan won't be able to come and visit the two children all the time. This will be good for the two children in the future. Otherwise, the two children will feel bad even if they don't say anything." Lu Qingyan and the others were silent before she spoke up.

"Now Liu Fang needs to be nicer to the two children, so that they will feel better." Mother Lu doesn't ask the new eldest daughter-in-law to do anything good. As long as she cares about the two children more and doesn't beat or scold them, that's her biggest hope.

"Yes. I think the new sister-in-law is a good person." Lu Qingyan said, then looked at her eldest brother and said: "Brother, you should be nicer to the new sister-in-law in the future. She will definitely treat you and the child well."

"I know everything." Lu Qingshan couldn't say anything to his sister, so he nodded.

"Okay, eldest and second son, you two should return the borrowed things to the neighbors. We will clean up and then go back to rest. We are all exhausted today." Seeing that no one had anything to say, Mother Lu stood up and began to make arrangements.

"Okay!" Lu Qinglin stood up, carried a table to the yard, and went to the neighbor's house to return the money.

Gu Mingze was not idle either. He took a bench and followed Lu Qinglin to the neighbor's house.

After going back and forth several times, they finally returned all the borrowed items.

Then he took a big broom and swept the yard clean.

Lu Qinglin and his wife happily went home with the dish given by his mother.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while. If anything happens, just ask Mingze to call me." Seeing that everything was cleaned up, Lu Qingyan couldn't help but yawn, then said hello to her parents and turned back to her room to sleep.

"Mingze, you should also go inside and rest for a while. We are all done with the work and there is nothing to do!" Seeing that his daughter had gone inside to sleep and his son-in-law was still chopping wood in the yard, Father Lu stepped forward and snatched the axe from Gu Mingze's hand, telling him to go back inside and rest.

"Okay, I'll go back to the house and rest for a while. When I wake up, I'll come out and chop again." Gu Mingze's axe was snatched away, so he clapped his hands, went to the side to wash it, and went back to the house.

"Come on, get on the kang and rest for a while. You've been tired all day." Lu Qingyan hadn't fallen asleep yet. When she saw her husband coming in, she patted the seat next to her and asked her husband to come over and rest.

"Well, do I need to go to my mother's room and ask the two children to come back to sleep for a while?" Gu Mingze sat on the kang and said to his wife.

"No, it's almost dark. If you let them sleep now, they won't be able to sleep at night. You should go to sleep quickly. Gangzi and Shitou are watching over your sons. You don't have to worry about them." Lu Qingyan looked at the man in front of her who worked hard like an old ox, stretched out her hand to pull the man to lie down, and said with a smile

"Okay, then I'll take a nap. I'm really tired today." Gu Mingze really felt tired today. He got up early in the morning and started working. Then he ran to the commune and came back again. He was much more tired than when he was in the army.

"Go to sleep." Lu Qingyan got into the man's arms and whispered

Gu Mingze put his arms around his wife and closed his eyes but did not fall asleep. Instead, he was thinking about returning to the Majia Brigade tomorrow to sever ties with his third brother.
