Early the next morning, after breakfast, Tian Chunyan and Zhao Guiqin led their men to their old house.
"Father, mother, have you eaten?" Brothers Lu Laifu and Lu Laicai shouted while standing outside the courtyard gate.
Lu Shoucheng and his wife were not at home, and Lu Yufang went to town again. Apart from the three grandchildren, the only two people at home were Lu Tiesheng and Wang Xuelan.
The two old men heard the sound and looked at each other.
Of course they can recognize their son's voice.
"How come the boss and the second child are here so early in the morning?" Wang Xuelan had doubts on her face.
Lu Tiesheng swallowed the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl and said, "They are here. I'm afraid Tian and Zhao are coming too. Go open the door and see what they want to do."
I have to say that I am the one who understands my son.
"become."
Wang Xuelan put down her bowls and chopsticks, stood up and opened the door. When she saw two men and two women standing outside the courtyard door, she had a hint of astonishment in her expression, which really made the old man understand.
"Why are you here?"
"Have you not seen your parents for a few days? I thought I would come over and take a look." Lu Laifu said naively, and looked into the room, "Have you not finished breakfast yet?"
"I just put the bowls on, come in."
After Wang Xuelan finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
The boss, second son and his wife followed Wang Xuelan into the kitchen. Seeing Wang Xuelan reaching out to collect the bowl, Zhao Guiqin hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
"Mom, let me do it."
Wang Xuelan hesitated. These two daughters-in-law have always been people who refuse to suffer even the slightest loss. I am afraid they may have something to ask of them today.
Thinking of this, she stopped what she was doing and sat down next to Lu Tiesheng.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Lu Laicai hurriedly laughed and said, "What can happen? Didn't eldest brother just say that we just came to see our parents."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Guiqin, who was passing by with a bowl, kicked him in the calf.
Lu Laicai frowned, then returned to his silly smile.
Lu Tiesheng glanced at his son and daughter-in-law in front of him, "Just think that you are here to see our old couple. Now that we have seen each other, you should stop working here and go back to your respective homes."
"Hey, okay."
Lu Laifu said, and was about to turn around and leave, but before he could make a move, Tian Chunyan grabbed his waist, causing him so much pain that he did not dare to move.
Tian Chunyan twisted Lu Laifu's lower back with one hand and looked at the two elders with a smile.
"Father, mother, the head of the family has something to tell you."
After she finished speaking, she let go.
Lu Laifu stretched out his hand to rub the painful part of his lower back. Looking at the several glances directed at him, he felt his head grow bigger.
Originally, he didn't want to come. He went to the third child's house to make trouble and asked his parents for food, which made him, the eldest son of the family, feel very shameless. However, it turned out that the mother-in-law was not content with making trouble in front of him. , the noise made his brain hurt, and he had to bite the bullet and come.
"Dad, mother, that..." Lu Laifu scratched his head.
Lu Tiesheng glanced at him, "You have something to say, how do you look like hesitating?"
Tian Chunyan was impatient. Seeing that Lu Laifu couldn't hold back a fart for a long time, she immediately said, "Can you please go to the third brother and sister's house to talk about your love? Let us go to the town to help like the fourth and fourth brothers?"
Lu Tiesheng raised his eyes and looked at her.
"Other things are fine, but I'm afraid we won't be able to help with this matter."
Tian Chunyan raised her eyebrows, and even her words were a bit sharp.
"Why?"
Lu Tiesheng said slowly, "Xinghe's daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, is in charge of the business at home. She has an idea in her mind about how many people to use and who to use. Your mother and I are older and we are the elders in the family. If we go I interceded with her. For the sake of our old couple's face, she might agree to let you go to the town to help, but doing so would inevitably disrupt her original plan. Xinghe's wife is a smart child and does things in an orderly manner, but It's not easy to start a business this year, and she's just started. If she loses wages and the business cannot be sustained, won't your mother and I become sinners?"
Lu Tiesheng spoke in an orderly manner, and brothers Lu Laifu and Lu Laicai nodded after hearing this.
"That's what dad said."
Tian Chunyan angrily pinched Lu Laifu's waist again.
"What is it! Why can the fourth child and his wife go, but our two families can't? If we go together, they can't continue their business. What's the point? Don't be too partial, parents!"
Wang Xuelan patted the dining table in front of her and said, "Ms. Tian, don't talk nonsense here! It's not something we can decide. Usually when the third daughter-in-law needs help with something at home, you act like a transparent person. Why now? I didn’t ask you about making money, but you became anxious?”
Tian Chunyan was unconvinced.
"It's not like we don't usually help, and they don't call us."
Wang Xuelan glanced at her sideways, "You don't think about how you refused when someone asked you to help. Do you think they are willing to help you? It is said that you reap what you sow, and you and the fourth couple are not as young as each other. I have some calculations, because you are the closest relatives of Lao San, and others will not ignore you like this."
Tian Chunyan wanted to say something more, but Lu Laifu grabbed her arm.
"Okay, just say a few words."
By this time, Zhao Guiqin had already cleaned the bowl.
She put the bowl on the table, looked at Lu Tiesheng and the old couple and said, "Father, mother, we did some things too much in the past. When the third brother and sister's house was built, I apologized to the third brother and sister. People in the village framed Xinghe's wife, and we helped and scolded her, but people have selfish motives. It was so difficult at home in the past, so we just wanted to make life easier for our little family."
"Now we and the eldest brother's family have become the most difficult among the four brothers. If it weren't for the hard times and the lack of meals at home, we wouldn't ask my parents to help intercede."
"If your parents are willing to talk about this matter today, please help our two families. If not, we can just think of other ways to make money."
Wang Xuelan and Lu Tiesheng looked at each other, both of them a little surprised.
This second daughter-in-law was not an easy person to deal with in the past, but now she is reasonable and seems to have sincerely regretted it.
"Your father and I have never been partial to anyone. After all, the palms and backs of our hands are all flesh, but there are some things that are really inappropriate for us to take part in. Instead of wasting your time with us, the old couple, you should think about how to repair the problems with the third daughter-in-law and her family." Relationship."
At this point, no matter how dissatisfied Tian Chunyan was, she couldn't say anything else.
The four of them left the courtyard of the old house. Tian Chunyan was so angry that she pinched Lu Laifu's ears and started spitting.
"What were you doing holding me back just now? What happened to me saying a few words? Now it's better. Making money has nothing to do with us anymore. Are you happy now?"
