The two returned to the house, Xu Zheng looked sad, not knowing what to do.
Jiang Ping suggested, "Why don't you call Lu Hao and ask him to persuade Dad."
Xu Zheng shook his head and disagreed with Jiang Ping's proposal.
He was afraid that Lu Hao would support Lu Shengmin if he knew that Lu Shengmin and his mother were divorcing. "People who are celebrating the Chinese New Year, don't spoil their fun. Anyway, they are not at work now, where can they get a divorce? It's all angry talk. How many days will it take for them to get divorced?"
I guess everything will be fine."
Having said that, Xu Zheng had a feeling in his heart that they might be serious this time.
He looked at Jiang Ping and sighed, "To be honest, since I got married, I understand Uncle Lu's inner pain."
"Living for decades with a woman you don't love is really torture for a person."
Especially his mother is a rough guy with no culture, while Lu Shengmin is a cultured person with rich feelings and delicate thoughts. They are really not the same kind of people.
Being able to live through so many years was all supported by Lu Shengmin's guilt for their mother and son.
Now, Lu Shengmin no longer owes them anything, so he doesn't have to wrong himself anymore.
He didn't understand it before, but later he understood the matter of love. Thinking about it from his perspective, Xu Zheng really understood Lu Shengmin.
If you marry him a woman he doesn't like, he may not be able to survive a day with his bad temper.
Lu Shengmin persisted for twenty years.
Jiang Ping fully agreed with Xu Zheng's statement.
She thought that she would rather die if she were asked to marry Wu Erzhu from the village.
That feeling is really painful.
However, out of selfish motives, they still do not want their elders to get divorced.
If they really break up, it will become headline news in the whole village.
After all, neither of them have a job, and they will still have to live in the same village from now on. It would be so embarrassing to meet each other.
At this time, firecrackers were set off everywhere in the village, which sounded very lively.
But they had no intention of joining in the fun.
I am also afraid that when I go out, I will be questioned by those who have no eyesight.
Fortunately, it's still early before I go to work, so I still have time to convince them.
Xu Zheng lay on the kang, grabbed Jiang Ping's braid, and asked, "Tomorrow is the day when the new son-in-law comes to visit, shall we go?"
"Can you go alone?" Jiang Ping asked weakly.
Xu Zheng was confused, "Just me?"
"Yes, my dad is afraid of you and doesn't dare to do anything to you. You can just go through the motions. The last time I went home, they pulled me and always told me something, and asked me to give it to Nannan.
Call and take Jiang Xue to the city, I didn’t do it for them, I will definitely get scolded when I go back."
There is no way to really sever ties with her natal family, and her parents are also profitable, so they always seize the opportunity to instill in her various ideas to help her natal family.
The most important thing is that they want to go to the city to find Gu Nan and let her speak in the middle.
Jiang Ping had no choice but to hide and not go at all.
When Jiang Ping explained this, Xu Zheng nodded, "Okay, I'll go pay New Year's greetings and come back."
Until dinner time, Xu Zheng and Jiang Ping did not leave the house. They sat on the kang and listened to pop songs.
When Xu Zheng went to the county town a year ago, he bought a tape recorder from Qin Feng's store as a New Year's gift for Jiang Ping.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Ping slipped off the kang and said, "It's getting late. I should prepare dinner."
On the first day of the new year, she wanted to do something good, so Jiang Ping planned to prepare it early.
I heard that there was going to be a Yangko performance in the village, so after dinner early, they happened to go and have a look in the evening.
Xu Yuqin will definitely not get up to cook today, and Lu Xiaoyue can't count on it. When Jiang Ping was at her parents' house, she developed the habit of running to the kitchen as soon as meal time came.
So, she is very conscious.
The daughter-in-law got off the kang, and Xu Zheng followed suit and put on his shoes, "Come on, I'll light a fire for you."
The two of them came out of the house. The yard was deserted and there was no Chinese New Year atmosphere at all.
Xu Zheng took a bunch of firecrackers and set them off in the yard to make it sound like someone was in the house.
Jiang Ping said she was going to carry firewood, but Xu Zheng held her back.
He glanced at the hut where Lu Xiaoyue was, and said with a face, "Don't go, I'll call Lu Xiaoyue out and ask her to carry firewood, why not sit in the house all day and hatch eggs? Will she be a director now?"
Xu Zheng became angrier the more he thought about it.
This family, seemingly prosperous, is actually just a mess.
Lu Xiaoyue is twenty years old. After a trip to the city, not only did she not make any progress, she also became a love brain.
No, her love brain doesn't last for a day or two.
In the past, I had a crush on Qin Feng, but she was ignored and she went out to find a job. She was smitten by a gangster from a barber shop.
He kicked open the door of Lu Xiaoyue's room, intending to wring her out to work.
As a result...no one was in the house.
Xu Zheng thought Lu Xiaoyue had gone to the latrine.
Then he withdrew.
He went to the backyard to carry firewood and put it into the kitchen.
He put down the firewood and didn't see Lu Xiaoyue's figure yet.
Instead, Jiang Ping came out of the hut.
He asked Jiang Ping, "Pingping, have you seen Xiaoyue?"
Jiang Ping looked at Lu Xiaoyue's house, "Isn't she in the house?"
After Lu Xiaoyue was captured, she clamored several times to find the man, so Xu Yuqin kept her at home and watched her, fearing that she would escape.
The person is missing now...
Could Lu Xiaoyue run away while they were having an argument at noon?
Xu Zheng shouted towards the main room,
"Mom, Lu Xiaoyue is missing."
Xu Yuqin, who was lying on the kang in the main room to catch her breath, heard Xu Zheng's voice and got out of the bed. She had a chicken coop on her head and eyes swollen from crying. She didn't even have time to pick up her cloth shoes and ran out.
She asked Xu Zheng, "What did you say?"
"Lu Xiaoyue is not in the house."
Xu Yuqin quickly ran into Lu Xiaoyue's house.
There was no one on the kang, and the quilts were piled up in a mess.
She checked hurriedly.
I found that the fashionable backpack that Lu Xiaoyue carried from the city was missing.
Her new cotton-padded coat and leather boots were also missing.
Xu Yuqin's heart sank.
His face suddenly turned pale.
The dead girl must have taken the chance and ran away.
