Jiang's father looked at his daughter who was holding Lu Chen and crying bitterly, with a flash of melancholy in his eyes.
"What do you think is so good about Lu Chen that he charms our daughter like this?"
"What a sin!"
"What a sin!"
Hearing her father's complaint, Jiang Yingyue blushed and wiped the tears from her cheeks: "Dad, you have taught me since I was a child that when you marry a chicken, you will follow the chicken and if you marry a dog, you will follow the dog!"
"Now that I have married into the Lu family, I should abide by the ways of a woman and regard my husband as my heaven. This is what a daughter should do!"
This is true.
In this era, the status of women was relatively low, and it was the time when the power of the feudal dynasty was at its peak. Therefore, girls from poor families regarded their men as their gods after getting married.
"well!"
"That being said, I feel sorry for you and Tiantian!"
Jiang's father was already in poor health. When his daughter said this, he suddenly looked several years older.
"father!"
Jiang Yingyue was frightened and hurried forward to check.
"You're not in good health, don't be angry all the time!"
Jiang Mu also advised.
"Mom, let me show it to dad. I know a little bit about medical skills. I'm going to bring some herbs this time. I'll make some adjustments and I'll definitely get better!"
At this time, Lu Chen's voice sounded from behind.
Jiang Yingyue and the others looked at him in surprise, and finally their eyes fell on the medicine bag in Lu Chen's hand.
"It's rare that you have a heart!"
"I know that my body has some old problems, so there is no need to waste money!"
"As long as you treat Yue'er well in the future, I will rest in peace!"
"father!"
As soon as Jiang's father said these words, Jiang Yingyue's heart suddenly twisted like a knife.
"Dad, please believe me!"
Lu Chen quickly stepped forward and put his hand on Father Jiang's wrist.
Seeing his serious look, Jiang Mu and Jiang Yingyue fell silent.
After a long time, Lu Chen withdrew his hand, looked at Jiang's father and said, "Dad, you are too weak, coupled with congestion, blocked meridians, and excessive grief, that's why you haven't gotten better yet."
"I'm going to decoct these herbs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If you drink them for seven days, your body will recover."
"It's just that during these days, you must not become depressed or self-destruct your body!"
After saying that, Lu Chen turned around and was about to cook the medicine.
"Lu...Lu Chen, let's forget it."
"Herbal medicines are expensive. With that money, why not buy more meat for Yue'er and Tiantian!"
"My old bones will be dead if they die!"
"There's no need to waste money on me."
When Lu Chen heard this, he paused in his steps and his heart was shaken. He turned around with a smile on his face: "Dad, don't worry, I'll pay for the medicine!"
Watching Lu Chen leave, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother hugged each other and cried: "Yue'er, finally got over it!"
When leaving the Jiang family, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother sent Lu Chen and the others out together.
At this moment, Jiang's father's face was glowing. Not only did he see Lu Chen's prodigal son turning back, but before leaving, Lu Chen also gave him some money, which was enough for him to improve the food at home and get medicine.
My health has improved and my son-in-law has returned to his prodigal son. How can I be unhappy?
"Lu Chen, live a good life after you go back, and don't let Yue'er suffer again!"
Father Jiang warned.
"Tiantian is still young, and it's time for her body to grow. If you can, try to let her eat well!"
After all, Jiang's mother is a woman and knows how to love her children.
"Dad, Mom, please don't worry, I will definitely do what I say!"
Lu Chen promised the two elders, took the hands of Jiang Yingyue and Lu Tiantian, and disappeared from the sight of Jiang's parents.
…
After returning home, Jiang Yingyue looked at Lu Chen with some fear and pulled Lu Tiantian away from him.
"Lu Chen, our family really has no money. I will do whatever you want. Please don't sell Tiantian, she is still a child."
Jiang Yingyue was not stupid and knew that Lu Chen would not be so kind.
There must be an ulterior motive in bringing them back.
As the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, this is her fate.
The only thing she can do now is to protect her daughter from being bullied.
"Yingyue..."
Seeing Jiang Yingyue's panicked look, Lu Chen's eyes were full of heartache.
He reached into his arms, took out something wrapped in cloth, and handed it to Jiang Yingyue.
"Give!"
With a wary face, Jiang Yingyue looked at Lu Chen's extended hand and took it carefully.
When I opened it, I was stunned.
"This...this is..."
"The jewelry I gave you back then was redeemed on the way when I picked you and Tiantian up in the morning!"
"I'm sorry for causing you and Tiantian to suffer all these years!"
When he said this, Lu Chen's tone was filled with guilt.
If the original owner of this body hadn't been dead, he would have found out and beaten him no matter what.
Such a good daughter-in-law, but she doesn’t know how to cherish her.
"Woooooooo..."
Jiang Yingyue cried.
Holding the jewelry in her hands, her eyes were filled with tears.
Until this moment, she couldn't believe it was true.
I can't even believe that Lu Chen actually turned around.
She always thought it was a dream.
At this moment, how she hoped not to wake up from this dream.
"Yingyue, I'm sorry, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future!"
Lu Chen stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and finally hugged Jiang Yingyue and Lu Tiantian in his arms.
Feeling the embrace that had never been so warm before, Jiang Yingyue cried and fainted in happiness.
When I woke up again, it was already late at night.
Tiantian was lying next to her, but Lu Chen was nowhere to be seen.
"Lu Chen!"
Her heart was in turmoil.
It was the opening moment of the gambling shop. Lu Chen was not at home. Could it be that he went gambling again?
That’s not right either!
He redeemed his jewelry today, bought food and wine, and got herbs for his father. He should be out of money.
Just when Jiang Yingyue was thinking wildly, the door was pushed open.
She stood up nervously and pulled out a kitchen knife from under the bed. As long as there were bad guys, she would rush forward and fight to the death.
"Yingyue?"
"What are you doing?!"
As soon as Lu Chen walked in, he was shocked when he saw Jiang Yingyue's desperate posture.
The moment Jiang Yingyue saw Lu Chen, her whole body relaxed.
Looking at the food and wine in his hand, there was deep worry in his eyes.
"Lu Chen, our family has no money anymore, so we don't need to eat such good food."
"I still have some brown rice at home, I can still eat it for a few days."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will take up some sewing work to support the family. The days are still long, and we don't have to give up on ourselves."
Listening to Jiang Yingyue's heart-warming words, Lu Chen felt moved in his heart.
"Eat it!"
"Your husband can make money, so you don't need to worry about it."
"It's a blessing to bring you back, so there's no need to be suspicious!"
Putting the food and wine on the table, Lu Chen took out a bunch of candied haws from his arms and handed it to Tiantian who was rubbing his eyes. Then he took out ten taels of silver and threw it on the table.
"These ten taels of silver are today's dividends. When Old Ghost Hong comes tomorrow, it will be just enough to pay off his debt."
"The money comes from a clean source. It's all the dividends I got from Uncle Xu."
"Don't worry!"
Jiang Yingyue opened her mouth slightly and looked at Lu Chen who was talking eloquently, as if she was meeting him for the first time.
"Daddy, sweet!"
At this time, Tiantian took a bite of the syrup on the candied haws, her face flushed, and she shouted happily.
"Let's eat!"
Lu Chen had a smile on his face, rubbed the little girl's head, and said to the stunned Jiang Yingyue.
