After Su Mo passed by, she went to the kitchen to help Li Yue'e, while Lu Changzheng went to the main room to chat with her and beat Yang Jingming at the same time.
Lu Xiaolan came back after cutting two kilograms of fresh meat, and Li Yue'e chopped some to make dumplings, and the rest was made into braised pork.
There is still some mutton bought when killing the New Year pig, and the mutton soup was stewed early in the morning. I made some sauerkraut to stew big bones, went to Su Mo's to pick fresh green vegetables and fried two plates, and steamed two large pots of white rice.
It is also a very good meal to entertain my daughter-in-law and uncle.
After lunch, Yang Jingming hurried away on the pretext that his sisters and brother-in-law were back at home and would go back to entertain them.
In fact, the third uncle looked at him as if he was carrying a knife, and he just couldn't bear it.
Lu Xiaolan said she wanted to stay at her parents' house for one night and did not go back with her.
In fact, Lu Changzheng still had business with the army, so he came back specially at noon. When he saw that everyone was gone, he went back to the army.
Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo also thought that their new uncle would come to visit this year, so they hurried back after having dinner at Yue's house. When they came back, they found that their brother-in-law had left earlier than them.
"Dad, why did Jing Ming leave so early?" Lu Weiguo was a little confused, but he came back immediately after eating.
Was it a quarrel?
"His sister and husband are back. Let's go back and entertain him." Lu Qingan's tone was not very good.
This new uncle returned to his parents' house for the first time and left in a hurry after lunch. For those who didn't know, he thought they didn't entertain him well.
"Where is your wife? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
"Oh, her fourth sister and brother-in-law are also back. They are chatting there. They said they would be back in a while. I didn't expect Jingming to come back so early."
"Your brother-in-law, how do you look? Can you stand up?" Lu Qing'an is the branch secretary, and he has to care about all the members of the brigade.
"It looks like it's okay, he can cook the food, and clean up the house is okay. I said that after the New Year, he will also sign up to build roads."
Lu Weiguo didn't even expect Lu Fubao's change. So, I still have to study. No matter how bad these people who have gone to school are, they are not that bad.
Lu Qing'an nodded. He was naturally happy to have a progressive young man in the team.
"If he can stand up, you two should help him more."
When Lu Qingan said help, he meant to watch more. There are still some second-rate guys in the team. With Lu Fubao's background, they will definitely be bullied. With Lu Weiguo watching, they don't dare to go too far.
Lu Weiguo nodded, "Dad, I know."
In the afternoon, Lu Xiaolan and Li Yue'e went to Su Mo's place together, and the three of them sat on the kang, ate snacks and chatted.
Li Yue'e always felt that Lu Xiaolan seemed to have something on her mind, and she was a little worried: "Daughter, are you hiding something from your mother?"
Lu Xiaolan hesitated to speak, but finally said, "Mom, if I want a divorce, will you support me?"
Li Yue'e almost choked to death on the chestnuts she just ate. Su Mo helped her pat her for a long time before she regained her breath.
"Why? What did that old godly woman do to you again? Mother is going to tear her apart." Li Yue'e said as she got off the kang.
Lu Xiaolan grabbed her and said, "Mom, no, she has been very nice to me recently. It's me who wants a divorce."
"Why? Jingming is sorry for you?"
"No." Lu Xiaolan cried as she said this.
This frightened Li Yue'e, and she quickly hugged Lu Xiaolan to comfort her, "Don't cry. Tell your mother why you have been wronged. If you don't do anything, your third brother and sister-in-law are still here."
Lu Xiaolan calmed down and said, "Mom, that family is not a good one."
Lu Xiaolan told the two of her the change in her parents-in-law's attitude after she helped Lu Changzheng help Yang Jingming, and the attitude of her parents-in-law after the accident at her eldest aunt's house.
"Mom, you said they are so selfish and cold-hearted. Now I think Third Brother can help, so I support them. If one day Third Brother can't help them, I'm afraid they will fall out immediately."
After Li Yue'e listened, she fell silent.
After a while, he said: "Daughter, marriage is not a child's play. No one is good in all aspects. As long as the big aspects are not bad, you can live your life."
In the view of Li Yuee's generation, unless life is really unbearable, they will not get divorced easily.
Now there is nothing wrong with the other party. Although she has some calculations, she has not done anything. Li Yue'e does not agree with the divorce just like this.
"Mom, I'm afraid they will harm Third Brother in the future." Lu Xiaolan said.
Li Yue'e waved her hand, "Your third brother is not a fool. How could he be implicated so easily?"
"They are treating you well now, so just live your life in a down-to-earth manner. As long as your third brother is here, they won't dare to do anything to you."
Lu Xiaolan was silent.
"At the beginning, my parents didn't particularly agree. It was you who decided that you were ready to get married. It's not even been a year and you said you wanted a divorce. How could you be such a childish person?"
"You live your life first. If you really feel that you can't live any longer, then talk about it. Life is rarely confusing, so don't see everything too clearly." Li Yue'e said.
Su Mo frowned, she didn't particularly agree. Now that we have clearly seen the face of this family, it is better to break it off and get divorced.
But we can't leave now, we have to find a suitable excuse.
Otherwise, if someone is treating you well now and you suddenly want a divorce, then people will spread any excuses and it will damage Lu Xiaolan's reputation.
Maybe then, they will have to pour dirty water on Lu Changzheng, saying that Lu Xiaolan looked down on her brother because of their promotion, and labeled them a snobbery.
Lu Xiaolan responded bitterly: "Okay." Who told her to be blind in the first place.
Su Mo didn't say anything. Since no one asked her, she couldn't express her opinions randomly. What's more, my opinions are contrary to those of my mother-in-law.
At night, Lu Xiaolan slept at Su Mo's side. Because she had something on her mind, she kept turning around and couldn't fall asleep.
After a long time, Lu Xiaolan asked: "Third sister-in-law, are you asleep?"
"No." Su Mo responded.
"What would you do if you were me?"
"I should be like you and choose to divorce, but not now."
Seeing that Su Mo was as she thought, Lu Xiaolan felt relieved.
"Xiaolan, have you considered the situation after divorce? You have to imagine the worst case scenario and see if you can bear it."
Su Mo was also worried that Lu Xiaolan just wanted a divorce and would regret it later, so she had to analyze it clearly with her.
"I've thought about it, but it's just some criticism, which I can bear."
"I'm just worried that it will affect my family, my father's job, and my niece's marriage." With a divorced daughter, my father's job will probably be disgraced.
