And at this moment, Lu Dashan's house.
When Lu Xiujuan returned to the Lu family with two large bags of gifts, Lu Dashan and his wife had not yet finished work, so she rode her bicycle to where the large group of people were working, and then, in front of everyone's shocked and envious gazes, she rode her bicycle around under the pretext of getting keys before returning home.
The results of her visit were not small. After she left, almost everyone who worked with Lu Dashan was talking about it, saying that Lu Xiujuan had a good marriage. She had just brought some gifts back to her parents' home two days ago, and now, only a few days later, she was carrying large and small bags of things back to her parents' home again.
How to tell whether a woman marries well or not naturally depends on how much her husband's family cares about her, and the most obvious point is to see how much stuff the woman brings when she returns home.
Obviously, the things Lu Xiujuan brought were enough to make the others cry with envy, and they couldn't help but flatter Lu Dashan, asking him how his daughter found such a good partner and such a good in-law family.
Lu Dashan had no idea how Lu Xiujuan and son-in-law Wang Chengwen got together. Before the Wang family came to propose marriage, he was still looking for a partner with a suitable family background for Lu Xiujuan. Who would have known that before he could decide between a 30-year-old worker and the son of the captain of the neighboring brigade, he saw the Wang family coming to his door.
Once the Wang family put forward their conditions, the other two naturally had to stand aside.
So if you want to ask Lu Dashan how to find a good son-in-law, how does he know
But at this time, he certainly couldn't say that his daughter Lu Xiujuan was just lucky, so he just smiled casually.
"Well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Everything depends on their own fate."
Saying this is equivalent to not saying it, but it earns enough face, so Lu Dashan couldn't stop smiling when he went home.
I didn't expect that my daughter, whom I have always looked down upon, has such ability. Not bad.
However, after Lu Xiujuan returned home and told him the real purpose of her return, Lu Dashan could no longer laugh.
"What did you say? Lu Chen and that Meng Zhiqing? How is that possible! The two of them..."
Lu Dashan was about to say that it was impossible for the two of them, but then he remembered that the team leader had asked Meng Yinyin to learn how to work with Lu Chen some time ago, so during this period of time, the two of them had been staying together, especially since Meng Yinyin looked like that. No matter how strange Lu Chen's personality was, he was still a man.
Therefore, it seems not impossible that he is attracted to Meng Yinyin.
But after being surprised, he didn't intend to take it to heart.
After all, no matter what, he is just Lu Chen's uncle. He can control everything in the world, but how can he control who he marries? Besides, who he marries has nothing to do with him, so he is too lazy to say anything.
Seeing that Lu Dashan didn't seem to care about this, Lu Xiujuan became anxious and almost immediately frowned and said anxiously: "Dad, Lu Chen can't marry Meng Yinyin!"
Just when Lu Dashan was about to ask why, he heard his daughter Lu Xiujuan say.
"Have you forgotten that my brother-in-law has a crush on her?"
A few days ago, I followed Lu Xiujuan back to her parents' home to see Meng Yinyin.
Lu Dashan only remembered this after being reminded by Lu Xiujuan, but he was also a little surprised.
"There has been no movement from their family these past few days. I thought the matter was over."
After all, after seeing the person, there was no news from the Wang family for several days, so he naturally thought that Wang Chengwu did not like Meng Yinyin in the end.
After all, Wang Chengwu's family was well-off and he was good-looking. There were so many girls in the city, he could find anything he wanted. Why would he have to look for a female educated youth who was only good-looking
As a result, he never expected that Wang Chengwu really fell in love with Meng Yinyin.
In this case, Meng Yinyin is really popular.
"Dad, you saw the things I brought back today, right? These things were specially asked by my mother-in-law to bring back... and the reason why she took the initiative to let me bring some things was because she wanted me to solve the problem between Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen."
Lu Dashan was not a fool, and he quickly realized that the Wang family's move today was to make them contribute.
Although I had other purposes, I did get a lot of things, and I earned enough face. Once things are done, who knows how they will thank me in the future.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Dashan agreed to the job, but he was in a dilemma.
"Then what do you think we should do about this? We can't just stop Lu Chen from being with Meng Yinyin, right?"
He could go and talk, but it was probably impossible for Lu Chen to listen to him now.
And since Lu Chen asked him for his parents' things again last time, Lu Dashan didn't dare to see Lu Chen during this period. Although there was only a wall between them, as long as Lu Dashan closed the small door in the middle and kept the big door closed, Lu Chen would not be able to see him at all.
Lu Dashan felt that this time he could just hide from Lu Chen for a few days like he did before, and then he would definitely forget about it. But now from what Lu Xiujuan said, it seemed that she wanted them to go find Lu Chen to resolve the matter.
Wouldn't that just be sending him to the door
Finally, Lu Dashan thought about it and decided to let Lu Xiujuan handle the matter herself. He would not get involved, so as to avoid Lu Chen coming to him to ask for his parents' things again.
"This matter, this matter you figure out on your own, it's your husband's family's business anyway, there's nothing we can do to help!"
Of course Lu Xiujuan knew why her father said that. He just wanted to continue to hold on to Lu Chen's parents' things.
But this time, she will not let her father play dumb again. In order to have a better life in her husband's family in the future, she must make her parents bleed heavily.
This can be considered as their compensation for the fact that they neglected themselves and valued their younger brother in the past twenty years.
After calming down her thoughts, Lu Xiujuan looked at Lu Dashan and said in a deep voice, "Dad, you must help me with this matter. Otherwise, there is no other way."
Lu Dashan felt uneasy when he saw her look.
"You damn girl, I've already told you to handle this yourself, don't look for me, I..."
"But Dad, don't you want the compensation from my parents-in-law?" Lu Xiujuan successfully blocked Lu Dashan's next words with just one sentence.
He paused, then asked with a tangled expression: "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law, what did they say?"
Lu Xiujuan: "They haven't said what they will give yet, but after the matter is completed, they will definitely reward you handsomely."
Lu Dashan had already experienced the generosity of the Wang family when Lu Xiujuan and her husband got married some time ago, so he was really moved when these words came out.
But…
He really didn't want to look for Lu Chen, for fear that he would ask him for those things.
Lu Xiujuan saw what Lu Dashan was struggling with at a glance, chuckled, and then said: "Dad, has Lu Chen seen the things left by Second Uncle and the others?"
Lu Dashan shook his head subconsciously.
"That's fine. He hasn't seen it. What do you give him? Does he have any evidence to doubt it?"
"Besides, hasn't he always wanted his parents' things? Then let him take them, as long as he gives up Meng Yinyin."
Choose one of the two and see what he chooses.
Lu Xiujuan's words successfully made Lu Dashan's eyes light up.
Yes, since Lu Chen had no idea what the things his parents left behind were, couldn't he just take something and trick him
It's not like he hadn't thought about this idea before, but he always felt uneasy, so he would rather keep dragging Lu Chen and not give him anything.
But now, with the big carrot of the Wang family dangling in front of him, he really doesn't want to miss it.
Just like Lu Xiujuan said, as long as he could come up with something to fool Lu Chen and make him give up Meng Yinyin, wouldn't that be the end of it
It’s quite simple when you think about it!
Seeing this, Lu Dashan immediately laughed and couldn't help but praise Lu Xiujuan.
"Girl, I didn't expect your brain would become so bright after you got married!"
Lu Xiujuan smiled but said nothing.
After Jiang Guihua came back, the family of three quickly decided what "fake relic" to give to Lu Chen. In the end, after much discussion, they finally found a medal that Lu Dashan had dropped into the gap of the closet and was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Lu Dashan remembered that this thing fell out of his second brother's envelope, but he thought it was worthless, so he ignored it. Later, he didn't know how it fell into the gap of the wardrobe. Now he finally found it after rummaging through the drawers.
As for the letter, of course it had disappeared long ago, and the passbook and remittance slip in the letter were also dealt with by Lu Dashan.
I originally wanted to find something randomly, but I didn't expect that I actually found Lu Chen's father's things. This way it doesn't count as cheating him.
It was just that the allowance and death pension that his father sent back were all spent by Lu Dashan and his family.
"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go over and talk to him about this."
With the medal in hand, Lu Dashan never thought that this matter would fail.
When he reopened the small door that had been closed for several days, he saw Lu Chen making lunch.
Lu Dashan walked straight over and said to him.
"Lu Chen, I finally found your father's relics."
As soon as these words came out, the fire tongs in Lu Chen's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he immediately turned to look at Lu Dashan.
There was no time to conceal the shock and surprise in his eyes.
Seeing his mood change so drastically, Lu Dashan suddenly felt more confident.
"The thing is right here. It's proof of your father's glory back then. It's also the only thing he left in this world."
After a long while, Lu Chen stood up, suppressed his emotions, walked towards Lu Dashan, and spoke.
"Give me the stuff."
The medal was in Lu Dashan's hand, but when Lu Chen asked for it, he did not give it to him. Instead, he suddenly made an embarrassed expression.
"But before I give it to you, Lu Chen, uncle wants you to promise something, okay?"
Knowing very well how much Lu Chen was obsessed with his parents' relics, Lu Dashan was certain that no matter what he said, Lu Chen would agree.
Lu Chen looked at him deeply, and when he saw the calculation in Lu Dashan's eyes, he finally calmed down.
He had approached Lu Dashan's family countless times before, wanting them to give him his parents' belongings, but they had always refused. But now they suddenly said they had found the things and were offering to deliver them to him. This behavior was naturally abnormal.
He did not agree immediately, but looked at Lu Dashan expressionlessly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Dashan still looked extremely troubled.
"Oh, it's not a big deal. Just promise your uncle first, okay? As long as you promise me, I will give you your father's things."
I thought that since he said this, Lu Chen would definitely nod and agree.
Who knew that in the next second, he saw Lu Chen looked at him coldly, and then said in a tone without any emotion.
"I don't agree to that."
Lu Dashan's eyes widened: "What?"
He thought he had heard wrongly.
"What did you say?"
Lu Chen continued to repeat expressionlessly: "I said, I don't agree."
"You, you, you, if you don't agree, I won't give you your father's things!"
Lu Dashan thought that his threat was enough to make Lu Chen compromise, but Lu Chen was not frightened by his words. Instead, he pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled for the first time.
It was just that smile, but there was no warmth in it.
I don’t know why, but seeing Lu Chen like this, Lu Dashan felt a sense of strangeness and a huge panic at the same time.
"Lu Chen, I'm your uncle, what do you want to do?"
He stepped back unconsciously, and was about to retreat to the small door, but suddenly he felt a flash of afterimage in front of his eyes, and then his arm seemed to be hit by something, and the pain made him subconsciously let go of his hand.
