The two elders of the Lu family were not the ones who favored boys over girls. They loved and doted on their daughters and granddaughters, but they really couldn't like the three daughters born to Ruan Yumian.
They didn't like Ruan Yumian, or more accurately, they hated her, so they treated her daughter differently.
In their hearts, Zhou Lanqin is the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law they recognize. Even if they divorce, they only recognize her and only recognize and like the children she gives birth to.
Lu Nanzheng pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly and assured him: "Dad, I will take care of it."
"snort."
Mr. Lu snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure.
Zhou Lanqin said at the right moment: "Okay, Dad, Mom, you guys go inside and rest. We'll go back first and come visit again in a couple of days."
"Okay, let's go back quickly." The two elders of the Lu family nodded.
My mother-in-law's house is very close to Lu's house, and it only takes three minutes to get there. Gong Linglong took out her mother's luggage, and Lu Jingchuan hurriedly took her to the Han family.
When Zhou Lanqin got home, she started to boil water. She let her daughter-in-law take a bath first, and then she cooked a pot of eight-treasure porridge on the stove, intending to give her a midnight snack later.
Lu Jingchuan came back soon. Last night, the two brothers went out to do some work and had no time to chat with their mother. Tonight, they were both free at home, and the mother and sons had a good chat.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Jingchuan drove to the Han family, picked up his mother-in-law and uncle, and went to the Gong family's ancestral tomb in the suburbs.
When Gong's mother died of injuries, due to the special circumstances, no proper funeral was held. Gong's father and son only notified Gong's mother's eldest brother and his wife. After a few people paid a simple tribute, they personally covered the coffin and buried the grave. There was not even a tombstone erected at that time.
Over the years, the father and son of the Gong family would come back to pay their respects. The tombstone was erected later, and there is still no inscription on it, as they were afraid of revealing the news that they were alive.
When they arrived at the grave, Gong Wantang kowtowed with tears in her eyes as she paid her respects. She also pulled her daughter and son-in-law to kneel down and pay their respects. With tears in her eyes, she told her relatives in the underworld about the happy events of her family, but she did not say a word about the suffering she had endured over the years.
Gong Chengjun often came to worship his mother in the past two months. After they finished worshipping, he also knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.
On the way down the mountain, Gong Chengjun and his sister were in low spirits and remained silent the whole time. They were thinking about the scenes of their childhood with their mother.
The mountain road was not easy to walk on, so Lu Jingchuan accompanied Gong Linglong and slowly went down the mountain, taking a short rest after walking a certain distance. It took more than half an hour to reach the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Gong Chengjun pointed to the large mountain opposite that looked like a camel hump and said, "Jingchuan, let's drive over there. I'll take Linglong to do something."
"good."
Lu Jingchuan didn't ask any more questions. He helped Gong Linglong sit in the back seat and said, "Uncle, please sit in the front and show me the way."
The mountain road was muddy and bumpy. Lu Jingchuan took care of his wife's health and drove at a relatively steady speed. It took them half an hour to reach the foot of the Double Hump Mountain.
As soon as the jeep stopped, Gong Chengjun got out first. Keren only stood there for two or three seconds before opening the door and getting in again. "Wantang, Linglong, don't get out just yet. Jingchuan, go to the front and turn around, then back up to the small valley where we just turned."
After the car drove into the small valley, Gong Chengjun quickly got out to check. After confirming that it was safe, he immediately arranged: "Jingchuan, cut some branches to hide the car."
Lu Jingchuan didn't ask any questions and took action immediately. He quickly brought branches, hid the car tightly, and carefully removed the tire marks around it.
Gong Chengjun had just gone to check nearby, and when he came back to see the car hidden, he waved at them: "Follow me."
The three of them followed him deeper into the valley, advancing slowly through the forest and slowly making their way up the mountain.
It wasn't until they reached the edge of the cliff halfway up the mountain that Gong Chengjun pulled out his binoculars. He saw three or four people on the opposite hillside, searching for something with tools in hand. His face was terrifyingly gloomy. "The master has been wiped out, yet these lackeys are still working hard. How loyal they are!"
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Gong Wantang asked him.
Gong Chengjun handed them the telescope and pointed to the left front, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "They came here for the Gong family's treasure. I don't know where they got a fragmented map from. After failing to get it, they've been searching for it for the past twenty years and now they've found it nearby."
He had just wanted to take them into the mountains along the main road, but when he saw many footprints at the foot of the mountain, he immediately confirmed that Zheng Furen's men had found them, so he immediately took a secret mountain road to go up the mountain.
Gong Linglong also took a look through the telescope and asked him, "Uncle, are you taking us to see the treasures left by our ancestors today?"
Gong Chengjun nodded. "The Gong family's treasures were indeed left by our ancestors. After hundreds of years of accumulation, even if a lot was donated during the war, the remaining wealth will still be enough to support the Gong family's descendants for hundreds of years."
"The treasure is hidden in a place where they can't find it with their current search methods. The place is set up with traps and mazes. Even if they get in by chance, they will be trapped to death."
Gong Wantang knew about the family treasure trove, but had never been there. He said, "Brother, since outsiders can't find it, let's keep it there. We have enough savings to live on now, and we'll leave these things to our descendants."
"Wantang, things are different now."
"The new society we live in is different from the feudal society of the past. When this dark period ends, the country will usher in all-round reform and development, and this land will surely undergo earth-shaking changes."
"Perhaps in the near future, the mountain we're standing on will be hollowed out and used to build houses or other facilities. By then, the maze and the traps will no longer be preserved."
Seeing that her uncle was farsighted and had already anticipated future development trends, Gong Linglong curled her lips slightly and agreed, "Mom, uncle is right. This place is not far from the city, and there are quite a few people living around here. When policies are reformed and developed in the future, the land and forests here will definitely be expropriated for construction. In the future, not only will the residents here, but I'm afraid the Gong family's ancestral tombs will have to be relocated."
Seeing that she had considered this, Gong Chengjun felt relieved. "Yes, from what Elder D said, national policy reform is inevitable in the future. Given the current situation, perhaps that day will come soon."
"You guys are really thinking far ahead."
Gong Wantang hadn't thought about this at all. Seeing that those people were not far away, they might come over in about two days. He asked him, "Brother, should we arrange to take them away today?"
"Well, take it away."
They spoke without avoiding Lu Jingchuan, which showed their absolute trust in him.
