Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 195: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature ([-])

"Didn't hear anything? Why don't you go and have a look!"

Lu Guofu sat under the verandah at the door of the house, with pieces of iron, steel files and other things placed in front of him.

He was originally a welder in the factory. After being injured, he could not do heavy work.

His son also took over the work, but he is a big man in his fifties, so he can't just do nothing.

So, he took some scraps or discarded iron sheets, iron bars, etc. from the factory and made some gadgets at home.

By making a basin or repairing a pot, you can earn about ten yuan a month even if it is a piecemeal and inconspicuous job.

He is a disabled person, but it is very rare for him to be able to support himself and supplement his family income with a little food.

Being able to make money and not becoming a waste that burdened his family, Lu Guofu's mood slowly calmed down.

It is no longer as depressed and decadent as it was just after the amputation.

After his own father, who was paralyzed by a stroke, passed away, Lu Guofu increasingly felt that a big mountain weighing on his heart had been lifted.

Yes, his biological father died. Lu Guofu's first reaction was not to be sad or sad, but to let out a long breath.

You really can't blame him for being unfilial.

There is no filial son in front of the long sick bed.

The family was poor and Lu Guofu wanted to be filial, but he had no conditions.

It's fine if Dad is dead, at least he doesn't have to suffer.

Moreover, there is no paralyzed old man in the family, so it is easier for Hua Zi to talk about a partner.

Their family only has two rooms, one is the main room, and the other is separated. Father Lu lives in one half, while Lu Guofu and his daughter live in the other half.

Lu Xinhua is a young man who doesn’t even have a room of his own.

Can only sleep in the main room.

Of course, no one has a rich house these days.

One house can accommodate more than a dozen people from three generations of grandparents.

But Father Lu is a paralytic.

Life can't take care of yourself.

Lu Guofu himself is crippled, and Feng Sufen is not in good health. No matter how the couple take care of them, the house will always smell of feces and urine.

To this day, Lu Guofu still remembers the time a few years ago when a matchmaker brought a girl to see him.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, the girl covered her nose.

There are also some who are more squeamish and do it directly in front of their faces.

That scene was extremely embarrassing.

Lu Guofu's family wished they could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Fortunately, last year the old man couldn't stand it any longer and left in the middle of the night.

Lu Guofu and his wife cried hard.

Not only crying for my own father, but also crying for my own suffering, and the secret joy in my heart——

Finally gone, Hua Zi lost the biggest drag.

Son, woo woo, my son can finally talk about marriage.

After the funeral, Lu Guofu and Feng Sufen discussed cleaning up the house and then marrying Lu Xinhua.

It was just that the money was not available at the moment, and materials such as bricks and cement were not easy to obtain, so it was delayed for several months.

Last month, Lu Guofu and his wife finally gathered enough money and found some old bricks from demolishing the old house. They were ready to start cleaning up the house.

Qiao Jianguo in the front yard had an accident.

Then, as if his son was obsessed, he came to the little widow Gu Xiaoni every day.

"Hua Zi's father——"

Feng Sufen was guarding a briquette stove, on which chicken soup was stewed, and it was gurgling and steaming right now.

The rich aroma of meat began to fill the yard.

Feng Sufen looked around and saw that there was no neighbor who was looking out, so she lowered her voice and said to Lu Guofu, "That Gu Xiaoni is actually a neat person."

They all lived in a large courtyard, and Feng Sufen watched them for three or four years.

Gu Xiaoni is responsible for all the work in the Qiao family.

When she gave birth to Qiao Qiao, she was about to give birth, and she still struggled to unpack and wash the bedding and climb up stairs to clean with her big belly.

Diligent, agile, and hardworking, she is really a good daughter-in-law.

Every time Feng Sufen sees Gu Xiaoni's busy figure, she can't help but feel sore: Back then, Gu Xiaoni also met her Huazi.

If it weren't for the heavy burden at home, how could her Huazi lose to that little stutterer Qiao Jianguo based on her character and appearance?

"What's the use of being neat?"

Lu Guofu raised his head and glared at Feng Sufen, "She is Qiao Jianguo's daughter-in-law, and she is also a second marriage with a child and a big belly."

"Our Hua Zi is a young man getting married for the first time!"

"What? Are you and Hua Zi obsessed with each other? Are you trying to be a cheap dad or a cheap grandma?"

"Hmph! You are willing, but I am not!"

"Besides, we and the Qiao family are neighbors in a large courtyard, and we live in the front and back rooms."

"If Hua Zi really marries Gu Xiaoni, will that old lady from the Qiao family be able to stop?"

When a woman remarries, she has nothing to do with her husband's family.

However, Gu Xiaoni is not alone, she has two children.

When the time comes, Mrs. Ma will use her child as a cover. Unless she says she misses her child, she will go to the Lu family to torment her. Who can bear it?

Mr. Ma is not a kind person.

In this day and age, in this big courtyard, Ma Shi can still keep a body fat, haha, you know how selfish she is!

After all, Lu Guofu is a man, more rational and realistic.

He could fully predict that if his son married the little widow in the front yard, his family would be inseparable from the Qiao family.

When the time comes, maybe my stupid son will have to work as a horse for the Qiao family!

Hearing that Lu Guofu mentioned Mrs. Ma, Feng Sufen's face also sank.

"The same goes for Mrs. Ma. They are neighbors in the same courtyard. Why is she so cruel?"

"A strong young man like Huazi was knocked unconscious by her."

"...Hua Zi is still awake now, the doctor said, we must prevent some brain damage!"

"After beating someone, the old lady hid."

"Fortunately, the first and second uncles were fair. They chased Qiao's house and forced Ma to pay. They also caught her hens to replenish our Huazi's health."

If someone hadn't helped to uphold justice, I would have received five yuan in medical expenses and an old hen.

It's impossible for Feng Sufen to sit at the door and make chicken soup right now.

She had already run to the front yard and blocked outside Qiao's house, crying and asking Ma to "take her life."

Even so, Feng Sufen's heart was hanging when she didn't see her son awake.

"If Huazi still doesn't wake up, I, I will go find that little old lady again!"

Feng Sufen said harshly and felt angry in her heart. She also disliked Gu Xiaoni, who was capable and liked by her son.

Huazi's father was right, Gu Xiaoni was not alone, she had children.

And as long as they have children, they will be at odds with the Qiao family.

With Ma Shi's pungent and mean appearance, it's really unacceptable.

Pfft!
Just as the couple was saying this, they heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Huazi!"

Feng Sufen's heart skipped a beat, she quickly stood up, and rushed into the room in two or three steps.

Lu Guofu also hurriedly touched the crutches at hand.

However, Lu Guofu was too anxious, he didn't grab the crutch for a while, and fell down first.

Lu Guofu grinned his teeth in pain, but still managed to get up.

While hurriedly leaning on a crutch, Lu Guofu shouted toward the inside, "Hua Zi, how is Hua Zi?"

Then, he heard Feng Sufen weeping with joy, "Hua Zi woke up! Woohoo, Hua Zi finally woke up!"

……

Madam Ma huddled in the room with her medium-sized feet, like a frightened old quail.

She pricked her ears and listened carefully to what was going on outside.

"This Lu Xinhua, looking at five big and three rough, why is he so hypocritical?"

"I just slapped him and he passed out?"

"...Is this bastard pretending to be sick? Does he want to blackmail me?"

Ma was so panicked that she subconsciously ignored the details that Lu Xinhua hit her head hard after being beaten.

He paid five yuan for nothing, and even the old hen that he raised and laid eggs was taken away.

Ma's heart hurts, and her heart is bleeding.

But she was still more afraid.

If Lu Xinhua in the backyard never wakes up, the Lu family will definitely make trouble with him.

"They, they won't force me to pay for Lu Xinhua's life, will they?"

"I, I didn't do anything! He is weak and can't even bear a slap. Do you still blame me?"

Ma was thinking wildly and was restless.

The old man Qiao in the main room was sitting at the Eight Immortals table with a strong horse, and a diligent young man stood in front of him.

"Third uncle, I'm not telling you, those people just bullied Brother Jianguo and left!"

"It's just like in our country. My son is the backbone of the family."

"No one dares to bully a family with a son."

"...Tch, it just hit my head on the wall and hit my bag. It's not worth five yuan anyway."

"They are obviously looking at you and my aunt as two old people, deliberately bullying others."

The young man's name is Qiao Tongsuo, the third son of Old Man Qiao's second brother.

I am 20 years old and quite tall, about 182cm tall.

He is energetic, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is clean and tidy.

Qiao Tongsuo is the third child and has brothers above and below him.

Therefore, he is not taken seriously by his parents.

The young man has a plan in his heart, but his parents are eccentric, so he relies on himself.

In the countryside, Qiao Tongsuo barely finished junior high school and was going to the city to find some work.

At this time, the most promising old man Qiao in the Qiao family died of his only son, and Qiao Tongsuo knew that his opportunity had come.

Of course, Qiao Tongsuo was not the only one who came to show his courtesy to Old Man Qiao.

However, Qiao Tongsuo has an advantage——

First, he is young and not married yet!

It is absolutely possible to marry a wife chosen by old man Qiao according to the wishes of the old couple of the Qiao family.

Secondly, he is the third child, and like Old Man Qiao, they are both children who are neither good nor bad, and are not valued by their parents.

Qiao Tongsuo's relationship with his parents is also relatively weak.

There is no need to worry about him becoming a white-eyed wolf for his biological parents in the future.

Thirdly, old man Qiao has some kindness towards Qiao Tongsuo.

Qiao Tongsuo was able to study, and most of the tuition was paid by old man Qiao.

Perhaps, the old man Qiao locked money in copper, which was more of a show off, to prove to his relatives in his hometown that he was living the best life.

But no matter what, Qiao Tongsuo relied on the money to finish junior high school.

This is a kind of kindness.

Old man Qiao and Qiao Tongsuo both have this understanding.

Therefore, Old Man Qiao is more inclined to Qiao Tongsuo, his nephew...
