Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property

Chapter 60: Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda

 The Lu family knew that Mrs. Hu had confessed, and felt that their previous efforts had not been in vain, and they were very happy. The eldest aunt even clasped her hands and thanked God for blessing and allowing the bad guys to get their comeuppance.

Uncle Lu couldn't help but cursed when he saw it: "We have already said that we will put an end to all feudal superstitions, why are you doing this again?"

 It’s a good thing that no one is in charge now. If someone saw him reporting him like he did a few years ago, his position as brigade secretary would not be stable at that time.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "Uncle, please stop scolding my aunt. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to my aunt and Xiaoqiu. If they hadn't said that harming people will lead to retribution, I wouldn't have thought of this solution."

It turns out that most flower growers believe in ghosts and gods. She doesn't believe it, even if she wears it here, she still doesn't believe it, but she respects other people's beliefs.

 Uncle Lu is speechless.

Avoiding Lu Jiaxin, the women in the Lu family talked about this case. Sister-in-law Lu was the first to not understand: "Is her nephew a fool who can't get a wife? Is he going to kidnap someone else's girl?"

Not to mention, the eldest aunt really knows the reason. She went to the market this morning and met an acquaintance who told her: "He is not a fool, he is a normal young man."

Mrs. Hu’s family has six nephews. For some unknown reason, the first five nephews either had accidents, got sick, or disappeared. Now only the youngest is left.

The eldest aunt said: "Old Mrs. Hu's family is in a ravine, with little land and very poor. The men in her family have had troubles one after another. Many people say that their family is cursed, and they will have to be widowed if they marry. So even if her nephew is strong, Even a strong man cannot get a wife."

Sister-in-law Lu asked: "In such a poor place, can a man in the village get a wife?"

This aunt is not clear: "She knew Jiaxin's identity and thought she was simple and easy to deceive, so she had bad intentions. It's a good thing that Jiaxin escaped, otherwise her life would be ruined."

Second Sister Lu cursed angrily: "This old woman should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, the second aunt came over. She came to see Lu Jiaxin. As soon as she saw the person, she asked, "Jiajie said that the house you live in now is very big, with twelve rooms."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on Lu Jiaxin. They only knew that Lu Jiaxin was moving out, but they didn't expect to move into such a big house.

Uncle Lu knew about this, Lu Jiaguang told him. He took off the cigarette rod from his waist, knocked it and asked: "Lao Er's family, why do you ask this?"

The second aunt pushed her eldest grandson Lu Wang out and said, "Jiaxin, it's too hard to forage in the fields. I always wanted your fifth brother to take Awang to Sijiu City to find a future, but your fifth brother Brother has always said that there is no place for Awang to live. Jiaxin, your house is so big, let Awang live in your place first. When your fifth brother finds a job for him, he will move to the dormitory."

That matter-of-fact tone made Lu Jiaxin smile. She suddenly understood why Lu Jiaguang said before that the house could not be rented, let alone lent to relatives.

Although Uncle Lu frowned, he didn't stop him, and the others didn't say anything. There are more than ten rooms, so they can accommodate them when they visit later.

Lu Jiaxin smiled, and her smile was full of ridicule: "Second aunt, when my eldest brother joined the army, you were jealous. When Brother Jia Cai got old, you kept making trouble for him to join the army. My father asked someone to get a quota, but during the political review, he was not allowed to join the army. I found out that Brother Jia Cai had previously acted with someone and left a criminal record. You don’t blame Brother Jia Cai for being impulsive and leaving a criminal record, but you blame my father for only wanting to recruit the first wife and not caring about the life and death of the second wife."

Legal sisters-in-law and sister-in-law Lu don’t even know about these things, let alone the younger generation.

Aunt Lu’s expression paused, and then she forced a smile and said, “Jiaxin, I’ve never said this before. It’s all nonsense from outsiders.”

What Lu Jiaxin hates most are relatives like Aunt Lu. When she was young, those relatives in the countryside said that she was a daughter and could not inherit the family business, and they always advised her father to have another son. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a job, her dad can make money anyway. Her father was not affected, but her grandparents listened.

Likewise, she never gave face to those top relatives: "My dad only has a daughter and no son. You told my dad that as long as they can find a job for the fifth brother in Sijiu City, they will adopt him to my family. As a result My dad tried his best to get Fifth Brother into the shoe factory, but you regretted it when you saw that it was a done deal, cried and made trouble, and finally gave up."

The second aunt couldn't hold back the smile on her face. She argued, "It was your mother who wanted to adopt Jiajie, but I never agreed."

Lu Jiaxin said disdainfully: "My mother has told me since she was a child that me is enough for her in this life. She strongly opposed the adoption because my father wanted a son to inherit the family. Second aunt, if you don't want to adopt the fifth brother, you can I understand, after all, he has become successful, and you still expect him to be filial to you in the future. But my mother is gone, why do you still throw dirty water on her? "

Lu Hongjun had an old idea and wanted his son to take care of him until he died. However, Lu Erbo and his wife later regretted it. Although he was angry, he was worried that the matter would cause a big problem and affect his reputation. But Mother Lu never had this idea from the beginning to the end. She was good to Lu Jiaguang and Lu Jiajie, and she also hoped to support her daughter in the future. This girl has the support of her maternal brothers, so her husband's family will not dare to bully her.

Uncle Lu did not expect that his niece would be very resentful towards his second wife. It was also at this time that she discovered that her niece had not been to the second room since she came back.

 Aunt Lu naturally did not admit it.

Lu Jiaxin sneered and said: "You think I don't know about the little ninety-nine things you have in your heart. Let Lu Wang live in my house first, and then you can find excuses to stay there. When Lu Wang gets married and has children in my house, he can justifiably occupy me. House of."

Of course, the second aunt refused to recognize her, and even criticized Lu Jiaxin for being disrespectful: "When the third child comes back, I will ask him how he taught him."

 The harmonious relationship between Lu’s mother and her second wife was achieved through her repeated concessions, in order to get Lu Jiajie to take more care of her. But she doesn't need it, so she won't spoil her second wife.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile but not a smile: "Second aunt, if you swear that you never thought about it that way, otherwise no one will take care of you until you die."

Second Aunt Lu didn't dare to swear because she really had plans for Lu Jiaxin's house. The married girl throws away the water. Naturally, such a big house must be reserved for the men of the Lu family. As for what Lu’s mother bought, Lu’s mother’s money does not belong to the third child.

Uncle Lu only thought that he would let Lu Wang stay here, and with the help of his brothers and sisters, he thought he should. But attacking Jiaxin's house is not possible. He immediately scolded: "Younger's family, you've already lived like a dog in a dog's belly, take Awang back quickly."

 Seeing Uncle Lu getting angry, the second aunt was a little afraid and took her grandson away.

Lu Jiaxin would not let it go, she said loudly: "My mother is good-natured and generous, but I am not like her. I am stingy and vindictive. Whoever dares to reach out to take my things, I will definitely chop off her claws." .”

When the eldest aunt heard this, she felt that her murderous intent was too strong, so she pulled her into the house: "You kid, how can you say those things? Do you still want your reputation if word spreads about it?"

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Auntie, do you think she will give up if I refuse? Maybe when we leave tomorrow, she will push Awang into the car?"

Of course, even if Second Aunt Lu did this, she would not be able to let Awang live there. It's not cold-blooded, but this kind of thing cannot be tolerated, otherwise there will be two.

　　　Uncle speaks a poor native language, and with the temperament of the second brother’s family, it is really possible for him to do this. But Lu Jiaxin's temper was too sharp. She said to Lu Jiaxin seriously: "Son, this girl can't be too hot-tempered. If she marries someone with a strong temper, her husband's family may not be able to tolerate her."

Lu Jiaxin lowered her head and said softly: "Auntie, I don't want to get married. When my mother was here, who wouldn't praise my father for loving his wife and children? But within a year after my mother left, he married another man, and I became a man too. A little cabbage bullied by others.”

　　“Men are all sentimental things. If I don’t marry, I will live alone in this life. When I get old and can’t move, I will kill myself.”

The eldest aunt's face turned green: "You kid, how can you have such extreme ideas? Your father and your father are just exceptions. There are still many good men in the world." I don't deny that there are good men in the world, but whether they are good or bad, there is no such thing. Who knows before something happens? However, she is not really against marriage, but the ability and financial resources of the marriage partner cannot be inferior to hers. Otherwise, it's okay to fall in love, but forget about getting married. There were so many cases of wife murder in later generations, and she didn't want to be one of them.

Lu Jiaxin did not want to continue discussing this issue with her aunt. The gap of decades could not be bridged. She yawned and said, "Auntie, I'm sleepy."

　　I squinted for a while last night, and now I am very sleepy.

The eldest aunt immediately went to find Uncle Lu. She told Uncle Lu about the conversation between the two. After finishing speaking, she said worriedly: "Old man, the third child really harmed this child. Xiaoxia doesn't know if she will see her like this." It hurts so much.”

　　This child was well-behaved and obedient when I came here last time, but now he is covered in thorns. While these thorns protect her, they can also hurt her.

Uncle Lu didn't have any good ideas. He said: "She suffered so much some time ago and she is resentful of the third child, so her thoughts are a little extreme. It's okay. I'll call Iaguang tomorrow. The couple will go over to visit her. Wait. It’ll be fine in a few years.”

Aunt Lu had a different idea and said, "The third child is responsible for Jia Xin becoming like this. As the old saying goes, the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell, so the third child must comfort Jia Xin more.

Uncle Lu thinks a two-pronged approach will be more effective: "I'll call the third child tomorrow. If he doesn't listen, we'll go to Sijiu City in two months."

The eldest aunt said: "We will go there at the end of the year. Guang'er has not been able to go home to celebrate the New Year these years, so we will celebrate the New Year with him this year."

Uncle Lu also wants to go, but his wife has always been worried about the livestock at home and is reluctant to raise them. And he didn't want to go alone. The food cooked by his daughter-in-law didn't suit his taste. Now that his wife had relented, he didn't have any objections.

In the evening, Lu Jiaxin made an appointment with Zaohua to meet on the hillside behind the village. Maybe it was because she had been hungry for three days, but the girl looked very bad.

Zaohua leaned against Xiaoqiu and asked, "Auntie, are you going back tomorrow?"

Lu Jiaxin nodded and asked, "Zaohua, I heard from Xiaoqiu this afternoon that your mother has relented and won't force you to get married."

Zaohua fainted from hunger at noon, and Xiaoqiu only found out when she went to visit. The neighbors all accused Zaohuaniang of being cruel, so she relented.

Zaohua smiled bitterly and said, "My mother said she won't force me to get married within two years, but I still have to get married in two years."

She doesn’t want to get married. She wants to go back to school and then go to college. However, going to college is now a distant dream for her.

Lu Jiaxin said: "I asked my uncle this morning. She said that the annual high school tuition and miscellaneous fees are about 300, which adds up to 900 in three years. Zaohua, I can sponsor you to study in high school."

 What did Aunt Jiaxin say? To support her in high school, Zaohua thought she was hallucinating.

 Xiaoqiu was surprised and happy: "Sister-in-law, you said you sponsored Zaohua to study in high school? Sister-in-law, you are not lying to us, are you?"

Lu Jiaxin said amusedly: "What did I lie to you for? What do you have that I should lie to?"

Zaohua came back to her senses and said gratefully: "Aunt Jiaxin, I am very grateful for your kindness, but I cannot accept your funding."

 Xiaoqiu's mouth is faster than her brain: "Why? If you accept my aunt's support, you can go back and continue your studies. You can take the college entrance examination in three years."

Zaohua felt that it was not easy for Lu Jiaxin. After her biological father remarried, she became a stepfather, and her stepmother was so vicious that she wanted to ruin her future. In this case, how could I accept her funding?

Knowing the reason for her refusal, Lu Jiaxin felt that this quality was valuable: "You don't have to worry, the mother and daughter will not be able to harm me in the future, and my father's money will be mine from now on."

Zaohua asked in a trembling voice: "Auntie, are you really not going to add any burden to you?"

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "No, if I couldn't afford it, I wouldn't be brave, let alone come and tell you. Zaohua, uncle promised to persuade your mother tomorrow, and you can go back to school when she lets go."

Uncle Lu has been the village party secretary for more than ten years and is very prestigious. He can definitely convince Zaohuaniang.

Poof, Zaohua knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Jiaxin three times, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Aunt Jiaxin, I will repay you like a cow or a horse from now on."

Lu Jiaxin stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be a cow or a horse to repay me. Study hard when you go back to school, and be admitted to university to set an example for the girls in the village."

 Xiaoqiu looks strange. My sister-in-law is about the same age as her, but she speaks like an elder. Well, it is indeed an elder.

Lu Jiaxin saw the color on her face and said, "This is a special situation, but from now on you must take good care of your body. Your body is the capital of revolution. If your health is not good, you won't be able to get into college."

Zaohua nodded repeatedly, as if she was thinking about a bird hunting for prey.

 After dinner, Lu Jiaxin placed fifteen large sheets in front of Uncle Lu: "When Zaohua Niang agrees to let her go back to study, you will give her the money."

 The reason why she didn't give it to Zaohua directly was because she was worried that her mother would take the money away if she knew about it. She never underestimated people's greed.

Uncle Lu frowned and said, "Jiaxin, your father hasn't agreed yet?"

Lu Jiaxin was silent for a while and said: "If Zaohua doesn't continue studying, her mother will force her to get married sooner or later. If she can't think about it, her life will be terminated. I help her continue studying, which is equivalent to saving her. Uncle, old It's a good saying, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If my father doesn't agree, then I will support her myself."

 “You funded it yourself? Where did you get the money?”

Lu Jiaxin said in a very relaxed tone: "Earn money! In more than a month in the ancient capital, I saved more than 300 yuan from being penniless, and I still have more than 200 yuan left after I bought the train ticket!"

Uncle Lu said with a straight face: "To take good care of your health, you have to go to school, and you are not allowed to set up a stall."

Lu Jiaxin immediately expressed her position: "Uncle, I can still distinguish what is light and what is important. Don't worry, I will support Zaohua without affecting myself."

Uncle Lu was very pleased, but he didn't want Lu Jiaxin to make money on his own: "You should focus on taking good care of your body and studying, and don't worry about anything else. I will discuss this with your dad, and he should agree. "

"good."
