Old Lady Lu was so pleased with her son, who had obviously become paler, that she confronted Old Man Lu, "You're already old, what are you still eating? We all came from a poor era, we've even eaten tree roots. These meals are the best. Look how long the three of us have been hungry."
Now that I finally have a piece of meat, of course I have to use it tightly. It's all that damn thing's fault. Thirty pounds of meat, but he didn't even bring some back to honor you. It's better to raise him than to raise a dog. A dog knows how to wag its tail."
When Mrs. Lu saw that Lu Changqing and Gu Qingning were not at home, she spoke louder and her face was full of anger, as if others owed her a lot of money.
Whenever these two people were mentioned, Old Man Lu's face turned grim. "You are eating well, why are you mentioning those unlucky things? They are such a pestilence and will get their comeuppance sooner or later. God is so blind. Why doesn't he take them away? These unfilial people deserve to die sooner."
Old Man Lu slammed his chopsticks down on the table, obviously very angry.
Lu Xue glanced towards the Li family tremblingly, fearing that Gu Qingning would come over, and quickly whispered a reminder: "Mom, Dad, please stop talking. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. If this gets out, our family will have a hard time. Don't involve them in anything."
Her parents are not law-abiding, and they are very good at talking. They can't even beat others. Isn't this a deliberate provocation?
After a while, Gu Qingning came over and hit them twice with a stick, and they became obedient. They had to inflict some physical pain on themselves before they felt comfortable in life.
Old Lady Lu gave her a sidelong glance. "What's the matter? The Zhou family just agreed to the betrothal, and you're so cocky you don't even listen to me. I'm your mother, and whatever I say goes. Also, remember to give me the betrothal gift from the Zhou family, and you need to show your pregnancy soon, otherwise your marriage will be difficult."
Her daughter is so bold that she even faked a pregnancy. If Zhou's mother-in-law knew about this, she would definitely blackmail her for a huge sum of money. It gives her a headache just thinking about it.
No, we have to find a way to shut those people up.
This is also what Lu Xue is most worried about. It has been one or two months now. She later had sex with Zhou Jianjun several times, but there was still no movement in her belly.
Was there something wrong with her body? Or was Zhou Jianjun infertile? This was related to whether she could marry into the city. She was worried to death.
But I guess it's a problem with the Zhou family. After all, Aunt Zhou gave birth to several daughters before she had a son.
It must be that her genes are bad, which is why she has never been able to conceive a son. Otherwise, she hasn't suffered much, so why can't she get pregnant?
When Old Lady Lu heard this, she was furious. "If a man is incompetent, what's the point of marrying him? If he doesn't get married, wouldn't that just be a life of widowhood? The Zhou family only has this one son, he deserves to be childless. Asking his family to give him some betrothal money is like asking for his life. He's so stingy, and he still calls her a city person. I think she's even worse than a country person. Bah, that damn old woman really deserves it."
Old Mrs. Lu was somewhat gloating, wishing Zhou Jianjun would be infertile. That would be just what she wanted, and she could laugh at him as much as she wanted.

Even if her daughter couldn't get married, she wouldn't marry that dirty guy.
Thinking about this, Old Lady Lu had other ideas. She planned to find a matchmaker in the village to introduce a better one. As long as the bride price was high, she could marry her daughter off.
Now she can hardly eat, how can she care about Lu Xue's happiness?
Lu Xue disagreed. Zhou Jianjun was the man she had set her sights on. He was handsome and had a good family background. She would definitely enjoy a good life if she married him.
Her mother only cares about the huge betrothal gift and will never consider her happiness. Lu Xue hurriedly coaxed Mrs. Lu: "Mom, how much betrothal gift can they give you? Isn't this cutting off your future? The Zhou family is well-off. If I marry into their family, I can still go to Teng's family. Those who give a large amount of money at once will definitely be very stingy in the future. Don't lose the big picture for the small one."
When you have money, your daughter is a treasure, but now she can’t even afford to eat.
Now it's time for my daughter to realize her value.
After weighing the pros and cons, Old Lady Lu finally remained silent. "Okay, then I'll wait for news from the Zhou family. The wedding must be held next month, otherwise I won't be able to help you. I think the old lady in the village has some ideas. I'll go ask her for you in a few days."
When Lu Xue heard this, her face lit up with joy. "That's great! As long as mother can help me marry into the Zhou family, I will definitely be filial to you in the future. Of course, I won't forget my third brother either."
Knowing that Lu Weiguo is Old Lady Lu's sweetheart, Lu Xue of course has to flatter and coax him.
Lu Weiguo snorted coldly, clearly disliking Lu Xue, "We all know what you're thinking, and I just hope you don't forget what I said now.
When we get to the Zhou family, you have to find a way to support us. Life in the countryside is cold and harsh. If you don't care about us, don't blame us for embarrassing you by moving in with you."
The Lu family was so shameless, it was obvious that they could do it. Thinking of Aunt Zhou's power, Lu Xue shuddered and said quickly, "Brother, don't worry. I treat you as my own family. If you have any difficulties, I will definitely help you. Aunt Zhou's bad temper can't stop me from being filial to you and mother."
Lu Xue's flattering attitude was too obvious, which made Lu Weiguo very disdainful. These sisters had to contribute to him.
The betrothal gift given by the Zhou family was acceptable, but the follow-up still depended on Lu Xue. Seeing that Lu Xue was a capable person, she would definitely give him a surprise.
Lu Weiguo finished all the meat and vegetables on the plate in no time, and even licked the oil off the plate in an uncivilized manner.
A large group of people at the table stared at the plate with green eyes, and they all wanted to rush up and lick it.
Even Old Man Lu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The meat was so delicious that he wanted to swallow it if he could get a taste of it.
Old Mrs. Lu was also very greedy. It had been a long time since she had eaten meat. No, she had to continue to contact Beijing.
She couldn't get used to the hard life, so they had to send her money or take her to the city. This was what they had agreed upon, otherwise the risk would be too great.
As they were talking, Yang Songhua's mother-in-law came over. She couldn't help swallowing when she smelled the meat in the air.
Looking at the food at the Lu family, I felt a little disgusted. This old woman has been very low-key recently. She even eats cornbread with leftover bran.
She remembered that the Lu family was well-off and they rarely saw each other, but now they were completely destitute.
Sure enough, Gu Qingning is a troublemaker. As long as she is in the Lu family, Old Mrs. Lu can forget about having a good life.
But Yang Songhua was also sober and greeted with a smile: "I really came at a bad time, but I do have something I want to tell you, Wang Jinhua."
Yang Songhua rubbed her hands, feeling a little embarrassed, but Old Lady Lu didn't give her face. She said with a cold face: "It's just dinner time. If you have something to say, can't you come back after dinner? I didn't cook too much. You stay aside for now. I'll talk to you after I finish eating."
This food is so precious, we can't let this old man eat it for free. Besides, this is not a life-and-death friendship, and now she can't even eat enough.
I even got calluses on my hands from wearing them.
Yang Songhua worked hard all his life and never expected this, but he still felt unhappy about being treated like this.
Humph, wait a minute, let's see how you beg me. Let me show off first!
