Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 102 I Will Raise Her, Her Brother
As the mule cart drove out of the city gate, someone wanted to hitch a ride.

"Don't worry about it, let's go directly." Lu Cheng raised his head from Ningxiang's neck, trying to restrain his voice, calm tone, ruthlessly rejected the passers-by outside the car, and also broke Ningxiang's hope of avoiding his entanglement.

In fact, Lu Cheng is a warm-hearted person, if there is no Ningxiang, he would not mind taking a few people back, but today it is rare for the two of them to spend more than 40 miles alone, so of course he does not want to be disturbed.Proposing marriage is a good thing when I get home, but it will be even more difficult to see her in the future. During the day, Mrs. Li will be on guard against him, and at night she has Guan Ping with extremely sharp ears, thinking that the next time I hug her, I might have to wait until At some point, Lu Chengcheng wished he could go on this road without stopping.

After finishing the order, Lu Cheng lowered his head again.

With the back of his head against the car floor, Ning Xiang was forced to raise his chin, his hands almost grabbed the clothes on his back out of the hole.

He was like a dog acting coquettishly with its master, he kept blowing at her neck, and the dog's mouth was busy all the time, itching and hurting.

pain?
Ning Xiang lowered her head, trying to straighten her clothes, but saw that the skirt was lifted onto her lap by him at some point, thinking that he would toss her like that every time she met privately since the meeting in Baogudi, Ning Xiang blushed even more. After packing up, he looked out the window and ignored him with a sullen face.

"Xiang'er, what did Third Aunt tell you last night?" Lu Cheng rubbed his nose resentfully, he had to keep his hands busy, otherwise he would always want to reach her.

"I didn't say anything, I slept with Ah Ying after dinner, and she gave me this dress in the morning." Ning Xiang said in a low voice.

Lu Cheng sized her up again, and said with a smile, "It's pretty good-looking. When I earn money, I'll buy you this kind of material as well."

Ningxiang's eyelashes trembled, she looked down, and whispered: "No need, we live in the country, it's useless to wear such good materials, and it's a waste of money if you accidentally cut it." She has no requirements for clothing, If you are extremely poor, you can be content with clothes that can cover your body. If you have a little money, you can buy cloth in the color you like, and that is enough.

"Buy a new one if it's broken." Lu Cheng moved towards her again, and seeing her shrugging her shoulders nervously, Lu Cheng stopped immediately and said in a low voice: "Xiang'er, I'll be at the east side of our house when I go back." Build three new houses, and you will live in a new house as soon as you get married next year."

Ning Xiang blushed, she didn't dare to think about what it would be like to sleep on the kang with him.

"Why don't we get married this year?" Looking at her peach-like face, Lu Cheng began to itch, "If we get married this year, I won't be afraid of sleeping alone in winter."

"Aren't Anan going to sleep with you?" Ning Xiang raised the corners of her mouth, unceremoniously exposing his lie.

"Anan is too young, his stomach is warm, but his thighs are cold." Lu Cheng said brazenly.

Ning Xiang shot him a look, lowered her head and said, "No, definitely not this year."

She had to watch her brother at home, but she couldn't feel at ease after that tribulation.

Lu Cheng just said casually, after all, she was only fourteen, even if she was willing, Xu Shouliang and his wife would not marry their niece to him so soon.

Let’s talk about business for a while, and get bored with sneaking around for a while, it’s too sweet, the forty-mile road suddenly becomes too short, and we will soon arrive at Liuxi Village.

"Xiang'er, I'll take you home." Lu Cheng hugged the girl who wanted to get off his lap, reluctantly said.

"Just put me down at the head of the village." Ning Xiang couldn't avoid it, and didn't want to raise her head to face him, so she continued to lean on his shoulder.

The man's shoulders are broad and strong, Ning Xiang guarded him all the way, and now it's time to part, but she is very reluctant to let go, shamelessly wanting to keep leaning in his arms like this, sweet and at ease, as if as long as he is here, she doesn't need anything Scared.

Today is really the first time, relying on him wholeheartedly, without worrying about being discovered.

She was so well-behaved that Lu Cheng couldn't bear to refuse.

"You wait, I will invite my second aunt to come over tomorrow morning." The mule cart stopped, and Lu Cheng promised in a low voice.

Of course Ning Xiang believed him, she slapped away his hand that wanted to hug her again, and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car.

The bright sunlight flooded in, and he was concerned about the coachman, so Lu Cheng had to watch helplessly as his sweetheart got out of the car.

When Ning Xiang returned home, Mrs. Li was about to cook. When she turned her head and saw her niece, she couldn't help being stunned, staring at Ning Xiang's clothes, "This..."

Ning Xiang explained helplessly: "Su Yue insisted that I wear it back, wait a minute, auntie, I'll go change clothes first."

There was still a red mark on her neck that Lu Cheng gnawed on, Ning Xiang didn't dare to get too close to her elders, she quickly went back to the west courtyard, said hello to Guan Ping, then kicked her younger brother out, and quickly picked out a dress with a higher collar I changed my shirt.Looking at her fair and undisturbed neck in the mirror, and thinking of the throbbing when Lu Cheng lay on her body, Ning Xiang felt light all over.

During the meal, Ning Xiang made up some interesting stories about the Hou Mansion for the family to listen to. After eating, when Amu fell asleep, Ning Xiang went to the Westinghouse.

"Do you have any plans in the future?" Ning Xiang sat on the kang, whispered to Guan Ping, then took out her contract of sale before Guan Ping could speak, tore it up in front of Guan Ping, and smiled at her , "It's fate that we can come together, and Lu Cheng and I are able to have today, thanks to you too."

Since Guan Ping clearly knew that she and Lu Cheng met secretly outside the door but did not show up on the spot, Ning Xiang guessed that Guan Ping brought Lu Cheng over there, not only for the purpose of returning Pei Jinghan, but also thanks to Guan Ping's "informant" ", she and Lu Chengcai settled down in advance, so there is no need to worry about it.

Guan Ping looked at the deed of prostitution that was torn up by her, and said in a funny tone: "If I don't like you, even if you use the deed of prostitution to force me, I will not be your maid. It's the same now, because you I was able to live a peaceful and stable life, so even if you tear up the contract of sale, I will still regard you as a benefactor. Ningxiang, I have no father, no mother and no home, and I have no plans. If you want, let me Follow you all the time."

Ning Xiang nodded, and replied softly: "Okay, but we have to make it clear, we will live as a family from now on, don't always think about whether you owe me or I owe you. And just like my aunt said That way, when you meet the right person, marry as soon as you want, don't worry too much."

As if she was the older one, Guan Ping shook his head, lay down, closed his eyes and said, "Okay, go to sleep."

Ningxiang smiled, and went to sleep in the east room.

In the afternoon, the two families continued to peel the corn.

At Lu's house, Lu Cheng stood at the door of the kitchen and looked towards his second uncle's house in the back street. When he saw his aunt, Mrs. Pan, coming out to wash the clothes, he hugged Anan and went to visit.

"Second Grandma!" Anan said more and more words, and the words became clearer.

Pan smiled and said, sitting in front of the tub and smiling at the two of them, "Boss is back? Didn't the orchard be busy?"

"The fruits are all picked, there's nothing to be busy about." Lu Cheng sat on the threshold of the south gate, looked inside, guessed that the two cousins ​​had gone out to play with sisters from the same village, he coughed, pressed down and wanted to go over The son playing in the water looked at his aunt and said in a low voice, "Second Aunt, I have a crush on a girl, and I would like you to go for a walk and tell her family."

Pan was taken aback, she loosened her clothes and turned to look at him. If it wasn't for the new son in her nephew's arms, she would have thought she was dreaming, back to the day before last year when her nephew suddenly told her that he was going to marry a girl from the Feng family.

"Here, who's girl, you are so quiet, you won't be in trouble again?" Pan asked solemnly.When I went to Feng's family to propose marriage, Master Feng almost got them beaten out. It was Miss Feng who went all out and said that she was pregnant, so Master Feng kicked her out of the house in a fit of anger and forced her into marriage.

The two aunts had such an attitude of being frightened by him, Lu Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, and said in time: "No, you know each other, yes, Sister Amu."

Inexplicably also a little embarrassed.

"Auntie!" Anan knew who Amu's sister was, and looked up at his father.

Lu Cheng smiled at his son, coaxing the little guy to laugh, and looked at his aunt with a guilty conscience.

Pan was a little stunned by the news.

The eldest girl of the Xu family?That girl is only fourteen, and she still wants to match up the little girl with her 17-year-old second nephew, why is the elder nephew acting like an older brother to cut off his beard?
"You, does Xiang'er know what you're thinking?" After recovering, Pan finally figured out that something was wrong. According to her understanding, the eldest nephew seemed to have given Sister Amu a few times. Could it be that the two saw each other right?

As soon as the idea came up, I saw my nephew smiling, holding back a smile, but the corners of his eyes and brows, his whole body was full of energy, just like the book said, as if the dead wood had ushered in a second spring.Pan Shi had never seen her nephew smile so happily, she couldn't help but also laughed, thinking about Anan's liking for Ningxiang, she suddenly felt that this might be God's will.

"Okay, since the two of you hit it off, I'll help you out a few times, by the way, this matter has to be with your third aunt..."

"I went to the city in the morning and told her. The third aunt said to trouble you to take care of it. It's not convenient for her to come here, so I'll wait for the dinner." Lu Cheng laughed.

Mrs. Pan nodded, thought for a while, and said while washing the clothes: "Then let the second child and the others coax Anan, you hurry to the town to buy some tea fruit tea, it happens that there is still fruit at home, I will take it there tomorrow. Although the two of you privately I've said it below, but there must be a lot of gifts to go. If you buy a jar and bar, you are a widower. A girl as good as Xiang'er marrying you is a low marriage. We are more prepared than others when they say goodbye. "

The same reason is given to marriage proposals and gifts, and the gifts for marriage and festivals in the future are the same.

"Well, I know it." Lu Cheng stood up holding Anan in his arms, "Then the second aunt is busy first, I'm going to town."

Mrs. Pan nodded, watched her nephew take a few steps, suddenly remembered something, pursed her lips, and said lightly: "There is also your aunt, go and let me know." After saying that, she continued to wash clothes, her face was not as clear as before.

Lu Cheng paused slightly and sighed in his heart.

aunt……

His aunt, if you want to say it is bad, is really not bad, but there is one thing that is too annoying and too snobbish.Although the two are aunts and nephews, they are only five years apart in age, so Lu Cheng clearly remembers what his aunt did before she got married.The second aunt's father is a down-and-out scholar, and the dowry is worthless except books, so the aunt despises the second aunt for being poor.Later, the third uncle entered Xu's family, and the third aunt brought gifts every time she came over. My aunt liked it very much, and praised the third aunt whenever she met.

With such a temper, it's no wonder that Second Aunt waited to see her.

When my aunt reached the age of marriage, because of her good looks, many people came to say goodbye. When choosing a son-in-law, the first thing my aunt looked at was the family background, and she insisted on picking a rich one. The matchmaker thought she was hard to serve, so she just stopped coming .My aunt was lucky. When she went shopping in the town, she ran into an uncle who ran a furniture store. He was both talented and beautiful, and immediately married happily.

Lu Chengting was very happy for his aunt.

Because of the similar age, the two are more like siblings, and although my aunt is greedy for vanity, she has always been generous to him, and will leave him a portion of delicious food.It's like the relationship between his aunt and his second aunt. Lu Cheng knew that it was his aunt's fault. He could only persuade him. If his aunt didn't listen, he would get a headache, but he couldn't really get rid of it.

I thought that my aunt's temper would be better when she got married, but it made Lu Cheng even more headache.

The snobby aunt has another flaw, she loves to show off.

Every time I go back to my mother’s house, I will bring back many gifts. Generosity is really generous, but I always go around the house and complain about their poor life. This is broken and that is broken. Cousins ​​and cousins ​​imitate the example, mother The three chattered together.Lu Chengcheng is in his 20s and doesn't want to argue with women. The second brother has a bad temper and beat his cousin. The nine-year-old cousin dare not speak nonsense anymore.The cousin couldn't do anything, and the second brother lost his temper with her every time. Last year, he said harsh words and told her to go back home. In a fit of anger, the cousin really never came again...

Such a family of relatives made Lu Cheng worry when he thought about it.

But we should go and still have to go.

"You coax Anan, I'll go shopping in the town, and my second aunt will go to Xu's house tomorrow." After entering the house, Lu Cheng handed his son to his second brother.

Lu Yan was restless, jumped up from the kang, and called Lu Ding, "You coax Anan, I'll go with elder brother."

Lu Ding didn't care, and looked at his nephew.

Anan's eyes became more and more serious. When he heard that his father was going out, he turned around and hugged Lu Cheng, "Shopping!"

Lu Cheng kissed the little guy, and said with a smile, "Okay, Daddy will take Anan to my aunt's house."

Anan blinked, suddenly shook his head crisply and shouted no, let go of his father, and walked towards the third uncle.

He doesn't like the aunt who always makes the second uncle angry.

Children under two years old didn't like it anymore, and Lu Yan lost interest and lay down on the kang again.

Lu Cheng smiled, went to the money jar to get the silver, and drove the donkey cart out the door.

Donglin Village was close to the town, so Lu Cheng first parked the donkey cart in front of Zhou's house.

The concierge knew him, and asked him to go in with a smile on his face, and also called him the eldest son.

The boss, Zhou Tianyou, was out, and the nine-year-old young master, Zhou Yuan, was studying at the school. Only Mrs. Lu and her daughter, Zhou Yu, were at home, and the two of them were checking last month's account book together.The Lu family loves money and also likes to settle accounts. Zhou Tianyou saw that his wife had a talent for managing accounts, so he personally instructed them in the first two years of marriage, and then let his wife take care of them.

Knowing that her eldest nephew was coming, Lu folded the corner of the ledger, so as not to forget what she saw when she came back, she got up and greeted her daughter, "Let's go, go with your mother to see your eldest cousin. Haven't seen him for a long time."

"I won't go, anyway, their family doesn't like me anyway." The 12-year-old girl lowered her head and fiddled with the abacus, her red lips were pouting high, and only a pair of watery eyes showed hesitation.

The second cousin was annoying, and the first cousin never said harsh words to her.

Mrs. Lu still doesn't understand her daughter?Knowing that she was just being stubborn, she was not so angry with her big cousin, so she smiled and snatched the abacus from her daughter, and forcibly pulled the little girl up.Zhou Yu was furious, and when he was approaching the door of the living room, the little girl slowly raised her chin, putting on an air of arrogance.

"Auntie is here." Lu Cheng stood up and greeted Mrs. Lu, who was five years older than him, then his eyes fell on his cousin in a white dress next to him, and said intentionally: "My cousin is so tall, I almost Didn't recognize it."

Zhou Yu gave him a soft sip, sat down on the chair, stared at him and said, "Dragon Boat Festival, you didn't come to our house as a guest? You haven't been here for a hundred days, how tall can I grow?" She believed what her second cousin said.

"Then I compliment you that the longer you are, the better-looking the head office is?" After all, Lu Cheng is ten years older, and he is very tolerant of his cousin's temper.

Zhou Yu snorted, looked at him and said, "Why do you remember our family?"

The second cousin didn't come, and the first cousin only came during the holidays, otherwise he wouldn't think of visiting.

Lu Cheng smiled, sat down again, and directly explained the purpose of coming to Lu Shi.

Mrs. Lu never expected that her eldest nephew wanted to marry a wife again, so she frowned and asked, "Which family's girl?"

Lu Cheng said honestly: "It's the eldest girl of the Xu family in Liuxi Village. When she was 11 years old, her mother and younger brother were seriously ill. She sold herself to be a maid in the Hou's Mansion, and she came out in June after redeeming herself. I met her in the beginning of spring. She is gentle and gentle." Considerate, Anan also likes her, I am very happy, she is fourteen this year, get engaged first, and marry back next year."

"Who else is in her family?" Lu continued to ask.

Lu Cheng briefly explained a few words.

Knowing that Ningxiang has no father or mother, and that there is a younger brother who is only five years old, Lu is not very happy, and said with a sullen face: "Her younger brother is only five years old, don't you just count on her to take care of her in the future? Boss, our family's elder brother The two and the third didn't talk about getting married, and in a few years when Ah Tao gets married, she will have to add a dowry, and raising Anan will cost more money, but I don't have spare money to raise my younger brother for her."

Zhou Yu didn't nod or shake his head, just held the tea bowl and watched his mother and cousin talking leisurely.

Lu Cheng has been smiling since he saw the two of them. At this time, the smile has subsided, and his eyes have turned cold. He looked at Lu and said, "Auntie, don't say she doesn't have that kind of thought, even if she does, I'm willing." Raise my younger brother for her. You also said that the second and third younger brother Atao needs money to get married and raise Anan. She didn't dislike me and was willing to marry and take care of my younger siblings for me. What qualifications do I have to pick her? Auntie, what do you say? Say once that I am not serious, and you say again, I will not dare to come to the door again in the future."

The words are so crisp and clear, without muddle along.

He can tolerate his aunt and aunt getting angry with them, because we have lived under the same roof and are familiar with each other, but he is absolutely unwilling to be wronged because he has caused Ningxiang to suffer.He knows his aunt's temper best. Once she feels that he doesn't mind her belittling Ningxiang, when she sees Ningxiang in the future, her aunt will definitely get worse.

Lu's breathing became heavy, as if a big brick was thrown in the face by his nephew!

She is the closest to this nephew from the third room of the Lu family. Now that his wings are hardened, he actually threatens her for his wife?She said those words for his own good. He doesn't like to listen, can't he just say it?Do you have to choke her in one breath before you are willing?

"Since you've made up your mind to marry her, why come to discuss with me?" She sarcastically said with a cold face.

Lu Cheng got up, his eyes were as calm as water, "I didn't come here to discuss with you, but to inform you that my second aunt will go to propose marriage tomorrow, and I will invite my aunt to dinner after the matter is settled. You rest, I have to go shopping ,I'm leaving."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Stop!" Mrs. Lu got out of her seat angrily and shouted at him.

Lu Chengcheng acted as if he didn't hear it, and disappeared in an instant.

Mrs. Lu clutched the handkerchief bitterly, nephew has such a bad temper!

Zhou Yu finally coaxed, "Mother, if my cousin likes him, marry him. After marrying him, I didn't marry you. Why are you so angry?"

"You know what a fart!" Mrs. Lu couldn't help but swear.

Zhou Yu gave her a disgusted look, and whispered as he walked out, "Being a rich grandma for so many years can't change her old problems!"
