I have been farming since I crossed over.

Lu Jintang lay quietly on the roof of the yard, his eyes fixed on Zheng's mother who was kneeling not far away and struggling to pick up silver and money. An indescribable feeling of desolation welled up in his heart.

Isn't Aunt Liu the second sister's biological mother? How could she treat the second sister like this? The second sister had given her all her savings, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even insulted her like this. Is this really what a mother would do? Or is there something else going on?

At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps came from afar. Lu Jintang straightened up suddenly and turned to look, only to see Zheng's father walking towards him with an anxious look on his face.

As he stepped into the courtyard, his eyes instantly turned red with anger when he saw Zheng's mother kneeling on the ground. He asked angrily, "What the hell is going on? Didn't you say you came to see your biological mother? How did you end up like this?"

However, facing her husband's questioning, Zheng's mother remained silent as if she had not heard anything. She just lay on the ground desperately, picking up the silver coins one by one with her hands.

After picking up everything, Mother Zheng slowly raised her head, looked at Father Zheng with a firm gaze, and said, "I only have one biological mother, and that is Mother. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. It will never change! Let's go home!"

After hearing his wife's words, Zheng's father moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent. He silently walked forward and carefully helped Zheng's mother up. Then, the two of them snuggled up together and staggered out of the small courtyard.

At the same time, Old Master Lu, who had been waiting for Lu Jintang to return in the dining room, waited and waited but there was no sign of him. He guessed that something might have happened.

He quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse and go back to rest, and told Mother Lu to see Mother Zheng and her family off. He himself hurried towards the courtyard where Lu Jintang was.

In the middle of the yard, Lu Jintang stood there in a daze, not moving at all.

Old Master Lu walked forward with steady steps, supported Lu Jintang with a look of concern on his face, and asked gently, "Thirteen, what happened? Why have you been here for so long and still haven't returned to the dinner table? Did you know that Grandpa is waiting for you?"

Hearing the voice, Lu Jintang slowly turned around and, like a wounded deer, threw himself into the warm and generous embrace of Old Master Lu.

His body trembled slightly as he muttered, "Grandpa, why do men in this world have to take concubines? And all those concubines are so wicked, it's hard to understand. Grandpa, why don't we add this to the Lu family motto - 'Lu family men don't take concubines, Lu family daughters don't become concubines', what do you think?"

Old Master Lu looked down at his youngest grandson who was lying in his arms. He was a clever and eccentric child who never got discouraged or frustrated even when he made mistakes. Seeing him look so aggrieved and pitiful, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

He couldn't bear to ask what had happened, so he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Tomorrow morning, Grandpa will add this sentence to the Lu family's ancestral precepts. Are you satisfied now?"

Lu Jintang slowly raised his head, looking at Old Master Lu with a firm and grateful gaze, and said softly, "Grandpa, I feel so lucky! I have such a kind, loving, and generous mother. No matter what mistakes I made or when I behaved less than expected, she never criticized me harshly like others, always giving me endless love and tolerance. This motherly love is like the warm sunshine on a winter day, shining on me all the time, filling my heart with strength and courage."

Old Master Lu nodded slightly in agreement, and said with deep emotion, "Yes, Thirteen, the greatest blessing for our Lu family to have survived to this day and thrive is that we married your grandmother and your mother, two virtuous and capable women! They manage the household wisely, support their husbands and raise their children, and manage the entire family in an orderly manner, allowing the Lu family to prosper. However, it was unfortunate that we took in those concubines back then, which brought many hardships and setbacks to the Lu family. Fortunately, everything is over now. After the storm, there is always a rainbow. I believe that from now on, our Lu family will continue to improve."

The grandfather and grandson stood in the courtyard, looking at the gorgeous sunset in the sky, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

Time flies, and things change, but the Lu family's ancestral precepts remain unchanged. Now, facing the changes and challenges in the family, the grandfather and grandson decide to revise the ancestral precepts.

They sat around the stone table, carefully considering every word and sentence, striving to make the new ancestral precepts better suit the current Lu family and lead the Lu family to a more glorious future. After a long period of discussion and deliberation, they finally finalized the new Lu family ancestral precepts.

While the grandfather and grandson were concentrating on revising the ancestral precepts, on the other side, Mother Lu had just sent everyone from the Zheng family out of the courtyard.

She walked hurriedly, her face full of anxiety, thinking about what had just happened in the dining hall. As soon as she returned to the courtyard where she and Lu's father lived, Lu's mother could not wait to rush to where Lu's father was.

"Master, what did you mean by what you said in the cafeteria today? I never asked you to punish them! How could you be so cruel as to do it?" Mother Lu widened her eyes and questioned Father Lu angrily.

Seeing this, Father Lu quickly stepped forward, stretched out his arms and hugged Mother Lu tightly, and gently comforted her, "Madam, please don't be angry. I didn't do this because I was following your orders. It was really because they made a big mistake first. If they are not punished, I am afraid it will bring even greater trouble to our Lu family in the future! So this matter has nothing to do with you, please don't blame yourself for it."

Mother Lu stared at Father Lu, a strange fear welling up in her heart. Those women, who had shared the joys of his bed, were now...

Father Lu noticed Mother Lu's misunderstanding, leaned over, picked her up, and placed her on a chair. He then spoke slowly, "Am I such a cruel person? If I were, how could they survive until now, and you wouldn't have to endure so many years of hardship. The key is that they made grave mistakes themselves. Do you know why we've suffered this? It's because they were all spies planted by others."

After hearing this, Mother Lu looked at Father Lu in surprise. Father Lu stroked Mother Lu's head and said, "That's true. From now on, you are the only mother of my eighteen children. You must treat them all equally, okay?" Father Lu joked.
