Chapter 86 Continue to Persuade



"That's good. Xiaoyan is not in good health. You have to take good care of her. If you really can't, let Xiaoyan stay at home and go back after she recovers." Chen Juan was still a little worried when she thought about her sister-in-law's delicate body.

"Sister-in-law, I was thinking of taking my parents with me this time. Otherwise, if I'm busy or on a mission, I won't be at ease leaving Xiaoyan alone at home, so I thought of asking my parents to go and help me take care of Xiaoyan.

In the future, we won't let our parents come back, and we will just live with them. Do you think this is okay?" Gu Mingze put down his chopsticks and looked at Chen Juan with a serious face.

"You have to ask your parents about this. My words don't count. Haha." Chen Juan smiled with a slightly unhappy expression and lowered her head to eat.

But I began to feel indignant in my heart. Why should you take the two elders away just because you said so?

She also wanted her parents to earn more work points and save some money to continue to support the children's schooling.

Besides, if her parents-in-law are gone, there will be no one to cook or take care of the children. She will have to take care of everything inside the house by herself. Why?

It doesn't matter if this sister-in-law has been spoiled since she was a child. Now that she is married, she still asks her parents to follow her to serve her. Whoever marries a daughter-in-law like this will be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, Chen Juan poked the rice in the bowl even more angrily. Then she finished the rice in the bowl in a hurry, left the table and went back to the house to rest.

Gu Mingze lowered his eyes after watching Chen Juan leave the table.

"Mingze, your sister-in-law is a little tired, so she's going back to the house first. You can eat too, don't be polite." Lu Qingshan didn't expect his wife to be at the dinner table, so he just turned his face away and could only look at Gu Mingze awkwardly.

"Well, big brother, you eat too." Gu Mingze raised his head and smiled, then he ate the rice in his bowl in big mouthfuls and sat aside waiting. When they finished eating, he stood up and went to pick up the table.

"Put it there, put it there. You are a guest, and I cannot let you work." Lu Qingshan reached out and snatched the plate and bowl from Gu Mingze's bowl, then looked at the two children and said, "Gangzi, Shitou, go and ask your mother to come and clean the table."

"Brother, I can clean it up. If sister-in-law is tired, let her rest. Don't bother her." Gu Mingze said this while reaching out to clean up the table.

"Brother-in-law, you are a guest, so you don't have the right to work. Put it down. Put it down." Lu Qingshan saw Gu Mingze was about to start again. Because he had something in his hand, it was inconvenient to stop him, so he could only talk to him.

"Alright, he's your brother-in-law, he's one of our own family, just do what you want." Father Lu saw the two of them trying to give way to each other, so he spoke up to stop them.

"Brother, what father said makes sense. I am your brother-in-law and a member of this family, so it is my duty to do some work." When Gu Mingze heard what his father-in-law said, he snatched the dishes from his brother-in-law's hand, turned around and walked out.

"Dad, if you and mom want to go to Xiaoyan's house, you can go. Don't worry too much. I can take good care of myself, my wife and children at home." Seeing Gu Mingze go out, Lu Qingshan looked at his father who had been silent and said

"I'll talk to your mother first, you can go back to your room and have some rest." Father Lu listened to his eldest son, waved his hand to send him out, and went back to his room to find his wife.

"Have you finished your meal? What do you think of what your son-in-law said just now?" When Mother Lu saw the old man enter the room, she couldn't wait to ask.

"When we were having dinner just now, my son-in-law said it at the table, but the eldest daughter-in-law looked displeased after Mingze said it. I guess she doesn't want us to go." Father Lu pushed aside the bowl and plate that his wife had just finished eating, and sat on the kang, sighed and said.

"What's the matter? She's still unhappy? I haven't settled the score with her yet, why should she be unhappy?" Mother Lu got angry when she heard the old man say that the eldest son's wife was unhappy.

In the morning, the old man and her eldest son went out to fetch water, but the eldest daughter-in-law was in the house. When she heard the commotion in the room, she pretended not to hear anything, as if she was dead.

After the barefoot doctor and Gu Mingze left, she pretended to come out, saying that she was behind the house and didn't hear what was said.

She believed it at first, but his eldest grandson suddenly said, "Grandma and grandpa, my mother didn't go to the back of the house at all. She was in the house and heard the noise in your room, so she held me and Shitou and wouldn't let us go out."

When Mother Lu heard what her eldest grandson said, she was extremely angry, but because this was her eldest daughter-in-law, she could only swallow her anger.

Come to think of it, she is such a failure as a mother-in-law. Other mothers-in-law always bully their daughters-in-law and make them look listless.

But what about her? Except for being partial to her daughter, she treated the other three daughters-in-law equally, not to mention torturing them.

But even so, it made people feel dissatisfied. They actually heard them arguing but pretended not to hear it. Tell me, is that hateful or not?

"Old lady, I think we should not go with our son-in-law. After all, our daughter has her parents-in-law there, and it is not good for us to get involved. Besides, our three sons are all in the brigade. If we go to the city, won't they be laughed at? Don't you think so?" Father Lu saw that the old lady looked angry, so he tried to persuade her earnestly.

"I didn't say I was going. I just thought that what the eldest brother's wife did was disheartening. With her like this, how can she be good to us when we are old?" Mother Lu said while lying on the kang with lifeless eyes.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. There's no point in thinking about those things now." After saying this, Father Lu seemed to have aged a few years. His originally straight back became hunched.

Gu Mingze listened to the two elders talking at the door, coughed twice and shouted: "Dad and Mom, I'm coming in?"

"Come in." Father Lu heard his son-in-law's words and hurriedly spoke back.

"Mom and Dad, I heard everything you said at the door just now." Gu Mingze saw that the two elders looked a little strange after listening to him, and immediately explained: "I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. I was cleaning the kitchen at first, and then my eldest sister-in-law went there, so I came here."

"It's okay, just listen to it. There's no such thing as a dirty laundry that shouldn't be made public." Upon hearing this, Father Lu waved his hand and said

"Mom and Dad, I still say the same thing. I am worried about Xiaoyan going to the army with me, so I want you two to come over and help me. Xiaoyan is still like a child who has not grown up. If the child is born, I am afraid she will not be able to take care of it." Gu Mingze sat aside, looking at the two elders and pleading:

"Mom and Dad, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. With my mom in that state, I don't dare ask her to come and take care of Xiaoyan.

At this time, I still had to complete tasks from time to time, and I didn’t know when I would be back once I left.

It is a special period now and we cannot hire someone to take care of us. I guess you guys can’t bear to see Xiaoyan giving birth at home without even a meal, right?”

"Okay, stop talking. Let's go. Your father and I will pack our things in a while and we'll leave tomorrow." When Mother Lu heard what her son-in-law said, she thought about how her daughter had just given birth and was lying in bed without even a hot meal. Her heart was almost in a knot.

"Old lady, you have to think carefully. If you leave, you won't be able to live with the boss's family when you come back..."
