Later, when Lu Ronghui was born, Lu Weiguo thought that now that he had a daughter, he could send the Bai family's daughter back.
In the past, when life was difficult, everyone kept a close eye on their own food sacks, fearing that there wouldn't be enough to eat.
He has two children at home, and he is reluctant to give his food rations to others.
But his wife had a very good relationship with Chen Hongxia, and she always said she couldn't bear to part with her, since she had raised her herself, and that she would leave her in a few more days.
As the situation dragged on, the problem grew bigger and bigger. Later, when the Lu family's life improved, Lu Weiguo stopped saying anything.
But who would have thought she would cause so much trouble for her family?
"No way!" He Shuyue could not agree to this condition; that was a child she had raised herself with great care.
"You've already raised her to eighteen, do you still want her to live in the Lu family forever?"
Lu Weiguo refused. He was already the director, and if she continued to stay at home, what would happen if his youngest daughter caused trouble? Would he have no shame?
"Mom, Bai Rongjun has her own parents. Our family is ultimately just an outsider to her. She still has to go back to the Bai family."
As for your concern about whether she's living well in the Bai family, that's the life she's supposed to live.
He Shuyue refused to agree no matter what, saying, "You've already taken her job, and now you're forcing her to leave? That's so unfair to Rong Jun."
Rong Jun grew up in the Lu family for eighteen years, but she never expected that her husband would not treat her as his own daughter, and her son would not treat her as his sister. She only had He Shuyue left.
After she finished speaking, she stood up, went back into her room, and slammed the door shut.
Lu Ronghui heard their argument from inside the room, and a sarcastic smile occasionally appeared on her lips. Unwilling?
She will make Bai Rongjun feel embarrassed to go back to the Lu family.
"Since your mother doesn't agree, let's talk about this later."
Lu Weiguo was very familiar with the subsequent developments of this matter. In the first few years, every time the couple argued, she would never agree to send the Bai family's child back.
In the end, nothing was done.
Let's leave it at that for now and stop arguing.
Soon only Lu Yang and his wife remained in the living room. Song Qing looked at him and asked, "Is this how it is?"
“How could that be? What did the Bai family lose? The job wasn’t originally theirs, and their daughter is still with us.”
Lu Ronghui walked to the living room and leaned against the door, watching them.
"You're not fully recovered yet, go back and rest."
"Brother, I'm fine. I'm not stupid enough to actually take medicine."
Lu Yang sighed, truly at a loss with her. "If you don't like her, just have your family send her home. There's no need to make a scene like this, causing yourself unnecessary suffering."
Lu Ronghui didn't speak, but just leaned against the door frame and chuckled softly.
She was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice Song Qing's scrutinizing gaze.
Song Qing looked away after a while. She was now about 70-80% sure whether Lu Ronghui had been reborn. Her current demeanor was not like that of a naive 17-year-old girl.

Bai Rongjun spent a whole day anxiously at the Bai family home without receiving any news from the Lu family. Just as she was about to go to find Lu Ronghui, people from the factory suddenly rushed to her house in a hurry.
Is Brother Bai here?
"What's wrong?"
"The son of the Lu family is in your factory manager's office, looking for Brother Bai."
"Brother Lu Yang?" Upon hearing the news about Lu Yang, Bai Rongjun quickly turned around and grabbed Chen Hongxia's hand.
Bai Xiangdong heard the noise from inside the house. He came out with a cold face and his scrutinizing gaze swept over Bai Rongjun and the others.
"What does the factory manager want with me?"
"How would I know? You'd better hurry up and go!" The messenger said and ran off, as he wanted to go back and continue watching the show.
Bai Xiangdong looked at his anxious wife and daughter. "What exactly happened?"
"It's alright, the factory manager needs to see you urgently, let's go over there quickly."
When they arrived at the factory manager's office, they found a group of people gathered there. Everyone exchanged glances when they saw the Bai family members approaching.
The main character has arrived.
"Factory manager, you wanted to see me?"
The factory director, surnamed Yang, was a few years older than Lu Weiguo, but Lu Weiguo held a higher official position, and his son had a promising future. Director Yang warmly received the father and son.
After learning from Lu Yang and his son the purpose of their visit, Factory Director Yang was also quite surprised.
Their factory was very large, and he, as the factory director, oversaw two factories. Lu Weiguo's wife, He Shuyue, was the deputy director of the office of the second factory.
He remembered that the woman was intelligent, yet she actually wanted to give the job to an outsider.
Now, my family has even come to the factory specifically to deal with this.
"You're Bai Xiangdong? Director Lu needs to see you." The factory manager was too busy to remember whether the person under him was called Bai Xiangdong or Hei Xiangdong.
"Did you know that my mom was going to give your job to your family without telling the rest of the family?"
Lu Yang knew the Bai family; they had a good relationship when he was a child.
"What?" Bai Xiangdong was very surprised. The factory jobs were in high demand and hadn't been hiring for many years. Unless you were moving your whole family, most people wouldn't even sell their jobs.
"Could it be that you've made a mistake?" Lu Yang's words implied that the Bai family was going to take advantage of the Lu family.
Bai Xiangdong was furious. Lu Weiguo had become successful, yet instead of helping his former friends, he was now even doubting the Bai family.
It's not like he has no backbone; he just can't be bothered with the Lu family's affairs.
Lu Ronghui took out the materials and the certificate issued by the factory. Last night, Lu Weiguo only tore up the consent form signed by He Shuyue, but the rest of the things were still there.
"Uncle Bai, why don't you take a look at these materials? If you don't believe me, you can call the office director over."
"I'm sure everyone knows about my hospitalization a few days ago. It was because my mother wanted to give her job to Bai Rongjun that she did something stupid in a fit of anger."
Uncle Bai, I know that you asked my mother to bring her home because your family couldn't afford to raise her. My mother liked her, and the Lu family treated her like their own daughter.
Our family not only supported her upbringing but also sent her to high school. Even though she ate and used better things than I did, I never complained.
Many of the onlookers were unaware of the past between the Bai and Lu families, and they wondered why the Lu family would raise someone else's child.
It seems the Lu family are kind-hearted people. These days, it's not easy for a family to support a high school student, yet they even sent their adopted daughter to high school.
Bai Xiangdong felt extremely embarrassed. He used to be not much different from Lu Weiguo, but in just twenty years, the two were worlds apart.
He was holding his breath, not wanting others to think he was inferior to him.
Unexpectedly, his shame was exposed in front of everyone; Bai Xiangdong couldn't even support his own child and had to give him to the Lu family to raise.
The crowd cast mocking glances at Bai Xiangdong, whose face turned bright red.
“My mother is a bit muddle-headed. Although she has already signed the guarantee, I still think I should inform you. The factory manager is here too, so let’s all witness this together.”
Lu Ronghui looked at Bai Rongjun and her daughter, who were standing there with tears in their eyes.
"This job belongs to our family; we can't give it to anyone else."
