Chapter 62 What can he do?
"Madam, if you have something to do, I invite you to come over."
Jiang Yunshang returned home, but before she could return to her small courtyard, she was stopped by Tao Zi, who said that Mrs. Lu wanted to see her.
"Oh, wouldn't my mother have to prepare a 100-day banquet for her granddaughter when we get closer? Why can she see me when she has time?"
Jiang Yunshang was not very interested in meeting Old Mrs. Lu, and the moment she saw Tao Zi, she knew their purpose.
The Lu family had nothing to do with her other than money.
But Taozi didn't know. She just shook her head slightly and said, "This is the arrangement of the old lady. I am just a servant. How can I know so much?"
"Miss, what should we do?" Xiaoyun came up and gently pulled Jiang Yunshang's sleeve and asked her what she meant.
"Since it was my mother who summoned me, of course I can see you. Let's go."
Although Jiang Yunshang was not very happy to see Mrs. Lu and the others, she had done nothing wrong, so she was not afraid to see them.
"Yunshang, it seems that your business has been getting busier and busier recently, and you haven't been back home for many days."
After arriving at Mrs. Lu's place, she first asked Tao Zi to pour Jiang Yunshang a cup of tea, and then asked her about her recent business affairs with feigned concern, without directly talking to her about money.
"Oh, this is the quarterly reconciliation season, and we will be busier these days." Jiang Yunshang took a sip of water, and then followed her words and replied.
But knowing the purpose of inviting her here, Jiang Yunshang was too lazy to listen to her roundabout nonsense here.
He took the initiative and asked: "I don't know if mother called me here today, but do you have anything important to tell me?"
"Oh, didn't you say that we are preparing for Rui'er's daytime banquet.
Yun Shang also knows that our Lu family is currently in a state of being unable to untie the pot. This banquet will naturally require a lot of silver. There is no one in the Lu family to turn to, so I can only rely on you, Yun Shang, for help."
Under Jiang Yunshang's questioning, Mrs. Lu finally revealed the reason for looking for her.
"Oh, I have been having some difficulties in business recently because I was new to the mall and didn't know the rules. I took many wrong paths and lost a lot. It has eased a bit recently, but I have put all the money in."
When Jiang Yunshang heard that it was about money, she frowned and was quite embarrassed to reply like this.
"Mother also knows that she has made things difficult for you, Yunshang, but..."
Mrs. Lu was just about to beg, but at this moment Lu Mingyao rushed in.
"My mother-in-law is not willing to come forward to help, so why are you begging for help so hard? Even if she helps us, doesn't it make us look inferior in every way?"
Lu Mingyao rushed into the house and said these words to Mrs. Lu as soon as he came in.
Old Mrs. Lu was talking to Jiang Yunshang, so she rushed in and interrupted her plan.
Mrs. Lu was also angry and turned green. She immediately glared at him and scolded: "Who allowed you to break into my house so recklessly? Get out quickly."
"Mom, I have something to tell you. Don't beg her anymore. Your son will figure it out on his own. There is no need to look at her face and beg her."
Lu Mingyao still insisted on his own idea, but told Mrs. Lu not to ask Jiang Yunshang anymore.
"I'll let you out."
Old Mrs. Lu didn't listen to him at all, she still had a cold face and scolded him to leave.
But Lu Mingyao still refused to give up and wanted to continue to persuade Mrs. Lu.
But it was still the same as before, before he could say anything, he was scolded by Mrs. Lu.
"Yunshang, don't listen to Yao'er. He has become a father at any time, but because he was spoiled since he was a child, he is really childish." Mrs. Lu comforted Jiang Yunshang, and even apologized to her for Lu Mingyao's behavior.
It's not a loss.
Lu Mingyao is usually more humble and polite than Lu Mingqian, but he just can't accept the way Jiang Yunshang uses money to suppress the Lu family.
In the previous life, he was very polite to Jiang Yunshang, because in the previous life, whenever the Lu family needed money for anything, she would take the initiative and give the money to them, never making them feel sad.
Nowadays, she no longer serves them so stupidly. The children of the Lu family, who are accustomed to being aloof and dignified, cannot stand her restrictions.
"Mom, there is no need for me to do this. Since my second brother said that I don't need to take care of him, he must have some ideas. Mom might as well give him a chance.
After all, he is also the son of the Lu family, and he is a husband and father, so it’s time to give him some opportunities to shine."
Jiang Yunshang did not agree to help because of Old Mrs. Lu's apology. Instead, she suggested that Old Mrs. Lu let Lu Mingyao handle it for a try.
Since he is trying to be brave, let him see how hard it is to get money.
He really grew up in a Lu family. He used to use his father's salary from the court to enjoy the money his father had embezzled from other places, and he was used to squandering it freely.
Nowadays, the embezzled money is either confiscated or transferred and taken away. Today's Lu family is basically an empty shell.
When the house was ransacked, almost all the valuables in the house were looted. From then on, the Lu family relied on Jiang Yunshang for all their expenses.
"What can he do? I also know that he is a married man and should shoulder the responsibilities of a man, but... I blame my mother for being useless and failing to teach these children well."
Old Mrs. Lu is still self-aware and knows what kind of virtue her son is, so she doesn't like Lu Mingyao's statement that he can figure it out on his own.
"Yun Shang, mother, please help me think of a way. But don't worry, mother will not owe you the money this time for a long time. When the banquet is over, mother will count the gift money and return it to you."
you."
After Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment, she begged Jiang Yunshang again for help.
Seeing her pleading eyes, Jiang Yunshang, who had not completely broken his face, frowned and nodded slightly: "Mom, there is no need to worry. If the second brother is really helpless, then I will not be cold-hearted.
"
"If I really have no choice, the worst I can do is go to my parents' house and borrow some.
Besides, this is the first time for the second sibling to give birth, so her natal family is not a weak family, and they will definitely provide great help when the time comes."
Jiang Yunshang finally said something like this.
"This is impossible. No matter how willing Xiaoyan's family is, we cannot let her natal family handle this banquet. This is the face of our Lu family."
After hearing what Jiang Yunshang said, Mrs. Lu shook her head repeatedly and refused the Xiang family's offer of help without any discussion.
