When Old Man Gu heard that his third uncle said he would not join the army, he was very disappointed.

But then he thought of the ungrateful fourth brother, who actually arranged jobs for the two brothers of the Lu family but not for their own brothers of the Gu family.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Qingmu and said, "Third brother, you said that what my fourth brother and his brothers did was not right. Why did they arrange jobs for your eldest brother and second brother, but not for you? Did you offend them in some way when they came back?"

When Lu Qingmu heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly remembered the day when his younger sister came back and they went to his eldest brother's house, his wife said some bad things.

But he looked at Gu Mingze and Lu Qingyan and they were not the kind of stingy people.

Then I can arrange a job for him just because of a few unpleasant words from his wife.

Seeing that Lu Qingmu heard what he said and didn't say anything, Old Man Gu continued, "Third brother, are you sure that this job was given to your eldest brother and second brother by the fourth daughter-in-law? And not because your parents don't like you and don't want to give it to you?"

"That's impossible. How can these parents dislike their own son? Uncle, stop making fun of yourself." Although Lu Qingmu said this, he took it to heart and wondered whether he should go to the army to question them.

If he didn't go, he would feel very uncomfortable.

But if he went, all the money in his family would be lent to his wife's parents' home.

He had no money at all for the trip to the army.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up at Old Man Gu and said, "Uncle, you just said that I would tell you when I go to the army. How many people do you plan to go with you?"

"Two people will go. His third brother and I will go." Old Man Gu had to go to the army.

Because the debt collector came to his house yesterday and said that if his third son didn't pay back the debt, he would go find the red armband.

Section 112

So he took out all the money he had saved and discussed with the group of people to postpone it for a few days.

But there was still a large part left to be paid back, and he had no other choice but to go to the army to find Lao Si for help.

After all, the fourth brother has been in the army for so many years. Even if he hasn't saved much money, he should know a lot of people in the army. He can be asked to borrow some money from others to fill the hole left by the third brother first.

As for the borrowed money, the fourth brother pays back some of it when he gets his allowance every month, and it probably won’t take long to pay it back.

But they can't do that, because they are all old farmers and the people they know are all farmers who make a living from the fields.

You can't borrow more than a few dollars from others.

That was why he was so determined to take his third son to the army to find his fourth son, just to make the third son go to the army and cry about being poor.

So that the fourth brother can quickly collect the money for them.

In order to avoid the situation where they cannot pay up the debt, they have to go to the red armband to pay it back, and then their Gu family will be completely disgraced.

"Why are you going? If you just want to look after the kids, you can go with me. If one more person goes, it will cost more money for the trip." After Lu Qingmu finished speaking, he continued without waiting for Old Man Gu to speak: "But, uncle, I agreed to go only because you want to go, so do you have to pay for my trip?"

"Okay, as long as you go, come find me when the time comes, and I'll pay for your round trip." Old Man Gu heard what the man in front of him said, and although he was very reluctant, he still said that he could help pay for the trip.

"Okay, uncle, you wait for news at home. When I decide to go, I will come to inform you." Lu Qingmu had to go to the army because someone gave him travel expenses.

Afterwards, he didn't linger at Gu's house any longer. He greeted everyone in the yard one by one, turned around and quickly went home.

Gu Mingtao hadn't said a word since he brought Lu Qingmu to his parents' place. Now that they had left, he asked, "Dad, are you really going to take the third child to the army?"

"What if we don't go? The fourth son doesn't even care about us anymore. Didn't you hear me? He didn't give you the job he got, but gave it to the Lu family instead. Do you know what this means?" Old Man Gu didn't wait for his eldest son to reply, and just kept talking to himself:

"They are planning to stop associating with us in the future, so they gave all the jobs to the Lu family. After all, their father-in-law and mother-in-law can take care of their children, do the laundry, and cook for them. But what about us? We can't help them with anything, so they don't want to bother with us."

After saying this, Old Man Gu took two puffs of his pipe, then sighed and said, "Big brother, the current Fourth Brother is no longer the same as before, so Dad wants to get more money from him this time, so that our lives will be better in the future."

"But even if you and the third brother go, the fourth brother and his wife probably won't give us the money. After all, they made it so clear at the beginning." Gu Mingtao didn't hold out any hope for what his father said.

But for the sake of his own selfish desire, he said, "Dad, how about this? After you and the third brother go, if the fourth brother doesn't give you money, you can ask him to find two jobs for our family. That way, even if the fourth brother doesn't give us money, we have jobs and can get a salary every month."

"Okay, we'll go and ask when the time comes." Old Man Gu also felt that having two jobs was much more worthwhile than spending some money, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

When Lu Qingmu got home, he expressed his thoughts without waiting for his wife to ask him anything, and then said: "I have already talked to the old Gu family. I will go to the army with them, and the round-trip travel expenses will be paid by the Gu family."

"Then go ahead. If they don't find a job for us, you can make trouble in the army. I don't believe that Lu Qingyan and the others will not arrange a job for us just for the sake of face." Tian Chun heard what her husband said and nodded. She also suggested: "If it really doesn't work, you can ask the eldest daughter-in-law to give up her job. Why should a new wife who just married into our Lu family take up the job?"

"I know everything. Go back to your parents' home and ask for some money for me. Although the round-trip fare is paid by the Gu family, I still have to have some money on me. We are a poor family and we are traveling on a strange road." Lu Qingmu agreed to what his wife said, and then asked him to go back to his parents' home and ask for some money. It would be unsafe for him to go out without some money.

"Boss, you know this too. My mother's family is not rich. We used all the money to build a house. How can we get it back? How about this? When you go to the army, you can borrow some money from Gu's family. When you get to the army, ask your parents to help you pay it back." Tian Chun said as he moved closer to Lu Qingmu, stretched out his hand to massage his shoulders and legs.

Lu Qingmu enjoyed his wife's humble attitude and nodded immediately, saying that she didn't need to go back to her parents' home to ask for money.
