In the Lu family yard.

Lu Laowu also came out and knocked on Long Yujiao's room in the west wing. After a while, Long Yujiao opened the window.

His eyes were red and he looked pitiful.

"Brother Cheng."

Lu Cheng said, "This amount of money is really too much. My third and fourth brothers just got married, so we can't take out this money. Can you write to your family to discuss it?"

Long Yujiao bit her lip, tears falling down, her voice trembling, "Brother Cheng, I don't want to either."

"My parents said they found a good man for me. A director of a revolutionary committee in the city took a liking to me and wanted to marry me. If I marry him, not only will he give me a bigger dowry, but he will also transfer me back to the city and find me a job."

Long Yujiao looked at Lu Cheng with tears in her eyes, "But I don't want to."

"Brother Cheng, I want to marry you."

As if something was stuck in his throat, Lu Cheng was speechless. He knew how much the educated youth wanted to return to the city at this moment, and how good it was to have a job in the city. She had given up so much for him.

Lu Cheng looked at Long Yujiao, "Yujiao, don't worry, I will find a way."

the other side.

Yang Maimiao handed the aluminum lunch box to Lu Laoliu, "Eat first. After you're full, we can talk about what happened later."

As he spoke, he looked around to see if there was anyone around and pulled him under a hidden tree.

At noon, cicadas were chirping overhead. Lu Laoliu opened the aluminum lunch box, which contained cooked fish fillets and a layer of brown rice mixed with white rice underneath.

The aroma floats around the wings of the nose.

Suddenly, Lu Laoliu's eyes turned red and he closed the lunch box again, "I can't eat it, you can take it back."

He swallowed unconsciously as he spoke.

"No matter what happens, you have to tell me whether we're going to get married or not, and we'll discuss it together." Yang Maimiao pushed the lunch box back.

Lu Laoliu looked at Yang Maimiao and said, "Maimiao, my mother has never been so kind to me."

Yang Maimiao: ...

"I don't want to be your mother, don't say that." Her intuition told her that being a mother to a man was not a good thing.

While eating, Lu Laoliu told Long Yujiao that he wanted one hundred and eighty-eight.

"My family doesn't have that much money. When I get married, there will be no hope..."

Yang Maimiao frowned after hearing this, and felt that something seemed a little wrong. "Don't worry, wait for my news."

While Lu Laoliu was eating, Yang Maimiao stood beside him and glanced at him from time to time. Everyone in the Lu family was good-looking. Even though her mother and Old Lady Lu didn't have a good relationship, she had to admit that Old Lady Lu was very beautiful when she was young.

From what her mother said, Old Man Lu was a handsome young man from the surrounding villages, otherwise the landlords would have had a hard time after the land reform, and Old Lady Lu would not have abandoned the landlord's son and chosen Old Man Lu.

So the child born from these two people, although with different personalities, will have an impeccable appearance.

It's just that Old Lady Lu has a bad temper and is always stirring up trouble, which makes her parents stay away from her and don't want to have anything to do with her family.

After Lu Laoliu finished eating, Yang Maimiao took the lunch box away and looked at him, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

When Yang Maimiao left.

Lu Feng was still looking at her back with a complicated look in his eyes. His stomach felt full and his heart felt happy. Suddenly, he couldn't help but smile.

Yang Maimiao also went home with a frown on her face. After washing the lunch box, she told her mother about the incident.

When Mai Miao Niang heard this, she asked, "Did Lu Laoliu really say that?"

Yang Maimiao nodded, "I don't think it's fake."

Mai Miao Niang slapped her thigh excitedly, "Great news!"

"Old man, when we die, someone will be in mourning." He said excitedly and walked into the house.

Yang Maimiao still didn't realize what was going on. He wanted so much money, ok? That would drain the Lu family's money and it wouldn't be enough.

*

The whole atmosphere of the Lu family was wrong.

Shen Wu wanted to propose separation, but obviously this was not the right time. While cooking in the kitchen, she couldn't help but chat with Xu Yin.

"It would be better if we split up. After that, we don't have to live so cautiously."

Xu Yin suddenly stared at her, "If we split up, will we still be in the same courtyard?"

Shen Wu glared, "Of course you have to be there, otherwise we'll be like before, next to each other, you on the east side of the elevator, and I on the west side."

This was the layout of the house they bought later in life, specifically a two-unit house with one elevator.

As she spoke, Xu Yin suddenly raised her eyebrows.

He stood up and looked outside, "Lu Cheng went to look for Old Lady Lu and Old Man Lu."

"Can I go and have a listen?" Shen Wu was curious.

Xu Yin thought about it and said, "I'll try."

Shen Wu: "I'll keep watch for you."

Xu Yin sneaked up to Old Lady Lu's room and lay down under the window. She couldn't hear clearly, and couldn't see clearly. She looked at the paper-pasted window, thought for a while, and quietly poked a crack.

He looked inside with one eye, and with a plop, Lu Cheng knelt down.

It was so sudden that even Mrs. Lu was shocked. “What are you doing?”

She went down to support him, and quickly blocked the hole that Xu Yin had just poked.

Xu Yin...

There were intermittent sounds coming from inside.

Ever since Li Ping learned that she had scored 188, she has been dissatisfied with everything she sees. Before she even leaves the house, she starts cursing, "People from the city are so great!"

Shen Wu coughed quickly.

Xu Yin reacted faster. She was eavesdropping, but the moment Li Ping came out, she was already standing in the yard with a serious expression.

Li Ping saw her and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, why are you here instead of making dinner? Are you being lazy?"

Xu Yin glanced at her indifferently.

Suddenly, Li Ping's mind became clear and she smiled awkwardly.

Xu Yin did not argue with her and returned to the kitchen, and simply told her what happened in the house, "Lu Cheng knelt down and begged the old man and the old woman, and also said that Long Yujiao did not want to do it, and Long Yujiao also sacrificed a lot for him."

"I didn't really hear the rest, it seemed like he was promising something... and then Li Ping came."

Li Ping came to the kitchen again and looked at Shen Wu. "Third sister-in-law, is there anything to eat? The baby in my belly is hungry."

Shen Wu thought about it and gave her an egg.

Li Ping widened her eyes in surprise at the eggs in front of her. She didn't expect Shen Wu to be so generous.

Shen Wu said, "Mother has been too busy distributing food these past two days, so she saved some for you. It's not easy for you to be pregnant."

When Li Ping heard this, her eyes turned red. She had never realized that Shen Wu was so well-off.

Shen Wu sighed and said, "What do you think this is? Well, if we don't divide the family, we still have to give dozens of dollars of betrothal gifts to the girl in the city. It's really difficult, sister-in-law."

"Forget it, I shouldn't have told you this, sister-in-law. You have two children and another one in your belly, which is even more difficult."

Li Ping almost cried, "Third sister-in-law, you understand me the best!"

dinner.

Shen Wu cooked the soup, and only she, Xu Yin, and Lu Xuan enjoyed it at the table, while the others seemed to be quite worried.

Li Ping never stopped talking and was always making sarcastic remarks about Long Yujiao.

Long Yujiao didn't say anything, but with red eyes, she picked up food for the old man and the old woman from time to time.

Her appearance made others seem even more ferocious.

It was both a silent meal and a noisy meal.

Shen Wu remained unmoved by any circumstances.

Li Ping didn't even wash the dishes today. She stood up angrily and said, "I didn't ask for a betrothal gift of 188 yuan. Whoever wants to wash the dishes can do so. Otherwise, we will separate!"

"Mom, I can't live like this anymore!"
