Gu Mingze shook his head as he looked at the two children who came into the room, lowered his head and finished his meal with big mouthfuls, went into the kitchen to wash up, then walked into the house, carefully got on the kang, reached out to hug his wife in his arms, and then fell asleep peacefully.

It was not until noon when Mr. Lu and his colleagues came back from work and made some noise that woke up the two people who were sleeping soundly.

"Dad, big brother and sister-in-law are back from work. You should get up and go out to take a look." Lu Qingyan opened her eyes and pushed the man who was playing with her hands, asking him to get up and go out to take a look.

"Okay, does your stomach still hurt? If you feel uncomfortable, just let me know and we'll go to the hospital right away, okay?" Gu Mingze reached out his hand, carefully touched his wife's belly, and said.

"I see. I'm not feeling unwell anywhere. Please go out." Lu Qingyan also knew that the man was worried about her, so she nodded and pushed the man out quickly.

Seeing that his wife was fine, Gu Mingze went out, put on his shoes, and saw his father-in-law weaving a basket in the yard. He walked over and said, "Dad, Xiaoyan said she's leaving tomorrow, and I thought you and mom would go with her."

"Mingze, your father and I won't go. Not only is it the busy season, but my waist is not very good. If I go, it will be a burden to you two, so we won't go." Mother Lu was very happy to hear what her son-in-law said, but thinking about her own health and her in-laws, she refused in the room.

"Mom, look at what you said. You and my dad should go, so that I can feel at ease. Otherwise, when we get to the army, I will be busy and no one will take care of Xiaoyan. She will have to eat in the cafeteria every day, which is not good for her health." Gu Mingze became anxious when he heard his mother-in-law said she would not go.

He thought that his father-in-law and mother-in-law could go with him, so that when he was busy or on a mission, they could help take care of his wife so that she wouldn't worry about him when he was not at home.

"I'll discuss it with your father and tell you tonight." Although Lu's mother was moved by her son-in-law's suggestion, she thought that she would not be able to earn work points if they left.

Another thing is that since they have had such a quarrel with their mother-in-law, it would be a bit inappropriate for them to follow their son-in-law to the army.

"Okay, then you discuss it with my dad." Gu Mingze felt that he had said so much, and if his father-in-law and mother-in-law still didn't go with them, then he would have no choice.

Section 29

"Mingze, no matter whether your mother and I go with you or not, you have to take good care of Xiaoyan, otherwise don't blame us for being rude. Besides, your mother really went too far this time." Father Lu looked up at his silent son-in-law, and after thinking for a while, he sighed and said it out loud.

"Dad, let me say something shameless. Xiaoyan is my life now. I can't bear to let her get hurt." Gu Mingze felt very uncomfortable when he heard his father-in-law's words. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"We also know how you treat Xiaoyan, but you two are not the only ones living together. You also have your parents, brothers and sisters.

If they look down on Xiaoyan, can you really prevent Xiaoyan from getting along with them for the rest of your life? "Father Lu didn't want his daughter, whom he had raised with great effort, to suffer any injustice, so he could only find a way with his son-in-law.

"Dad, my mom used to be very good, I don't know why she suddenly became like this. Also, I told you when I got home this morning that Xiaoyan and I won't go back if we are fine, but I will pay for their retirement and their illnesses as usual." Gu Mingze knew that his father-in-law said all this for the good of his wife, so he promised:

"Dad, although my approach seems to be avoiding trouble, Xiaoyan is pregnant now and cannot bear the slightest injustice, so I plan to hold on for a few years, and then we will do it after the baby is born and grows up."

"This is all your family's business. I have no right to interfere. But I only know that if you or your family dare to hurt Xiaoyan, don't blame our Lu family for coming to cause trouble." Father Lu was furious when he thought of his wife and daughter lying on the kang unable to move.

But now that the son-in-law has returned, he has to deal with this matter himself, otherwise he would have come to the house with his sons.

"Dad, don't worry. It's just this time, and there won't be a second time." Gu Mingze felt very uncomfortable now. On one side was his mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and on the other side was his wife whom he loved dearly. Asking him to choose either one would be like stabbing a knife in his heart, and it would hurt so much.

But no matter how much it hurt, he had to make a choice, because his mother lost him, and so did his father, his three brothers and several nephews.

If his wife and children were gone, not only would they be criticized, but they would also have to endure all kinds of rumors. Besides, he couldn't bear to see his wife get hurt.

So he could only use the money to support his parents in their old age, which made him feel better.

"You'd better keep your word, otherwise I'll take Xiaoyan back even if I have to sacrifice my old bones. We'll raise her ourselves." Father Lu snorted coldly, then lowered his head to weave the earthen basket in his hand and stopped talking.

Gu Mingze listened to his father-in-law's words. Even though he didn't have that idea in his mind, he felt a pang in his heart. He was afraid that his father-in-law might dislike him one day, so he took his wife back.

For a while, neither of them spoke, which made the atmosphere very strange.

"Dad, brother-in-law, it's time to eat." Chen Juan came out after finishing the meal and shouted, breaking the weird atmosphere.

"Okay, Dad, go eat quickly. I'll go take food to my mom and Xiaoyan." Gu Mingze heard the call and stood up to help in the kitchen. Then he took food to his mother-in-law and then took his wife's food back to the house.

"Leave it here. Go eat quickly. Come back and tell me how your new home is." Lu Qingyan patted the edge of the kang next to her, and told the man to go eat quickly.

"Okay, call me when you're done eating." Gu Mingze nodded and walked out to eat.

"Brother-in-law, there's nothing at home this afternoon. You can just eat something first. I'll ask your eldest brother to go to the commune to buy meat and make dumplings for you in the evening." Chen Juan saw Gu Mingze coming in and said hurriedly and embarrassedly.

"Sister-in-law, these are good enough. You don't need to buy meat. Besides, Qingyan and I will leave tomorrow, so don't bother. Save the meat for the two children." Gu Mingze heard this and waved his hand to refuse.

It's not as easy as eating meat in the countryside, so he'd better not eat it and save the meat for the elderly and children, which can also be used as a tonic for their bodies.

"Ah? Leaving so soon? Not staying for two more days? Besides, can Qingyan's body bear it? Don't get too tired." When Chen Juan heard Gu Mingze say they would leave tomorrow, she immediately became anxious, afraid that they were in such a hurry and something might happen on the way.

"It's okay. I'll drive slowly on the road and walk for another day. I won't let Xiaoyan get bumpy." Gu Mingze smiled and shook his head, explaining.
