Chapter 1613: In-laws' Conspiracy 25
It was Second Sister Lu who spoke out first, "I won't move out. I'll pay for living expenses, but I'll only pay for me and Lu Qing. My son is only two years old, and he can't afford eight dollars a month."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face darkened. “I will also do my and Dahui’s work, but I will not stay at home to do housework anymore. I will go out to work.”
Lu's mother disagreed. "If you go to work, who will do the housework and take care of the children? I, an old woman, can't do so much."
Mrs. Lu said angrily, "Why should I stay at home to do housework? I am your daughter-in-law, and I have to go out to work and earn money."
The money she earned was her own. She didn't get a penny for doing housework at home. She worked for others for nothing and didn't even get a good word in return. She was mocked by her sisters-in-law in a sarcastic manner every day.
Bah, working hard but getting no thanks, that's what I mean by her.
In the end, Mother Lu failed to stop Mrs. Lu.
The next day, Mrs. Lu went out to look for a job. Coincidentally, a newly opened small restaurant on the nearby street was recruiting waitresses. Mrs. Lu applied for the job and was offered a salary of 40 yuan a month, with two meals provided.
The small restaurant provides meals, so Mrs. Lu saves the eight yuan a month in food expenses.
However, Second Sister-in-law Lu said that her eldest son was seven years old, a grown-up boy, and ate more than an adult, so First Sister-in-law Lu had to pay for her eldest son's food.
"You have two sons, and I only let you give birth to one of them. That's already very generous of me, unless your two sons don't want to eat at home," said Mrs. Lu.
Lu's mother also said that her eldest grandson ate a lot.
Sometimes, I have to eat four meals a day.
Mrs. Lu had no choice but to pay for her eldest son's food expenses.
With five meals allowed, Lu's mother earned an extra 40 yuan a month and had some spare money, but the Lu family still had boiled vegetables for every meal.
Mrs. Lu protested.
Lu's mother said, "If you want to improve the food, you have to wait until I save up enough money for the third child's betrothal gift. The third child is already 23 years old. In two years, he will be 25 and will be a bachelor."
Mrs. Lu felt depressed, but she didn't dare to move out.
Firstly, if she moves out, there will be no one to take care of her son.
Secondly, if she moves out, she will have to do the housework. She is exhausted from work and wants to rest after get off work, so she doesn't want to work. But Lu Qing is the kind of person who never goes into the kitchen or does housework. If he doesn't do it, someone else will have to do it.
Third: She has to spend a large sum of money to buy a house first.
She had enough money to buy a yard, but she would feel bad about spending so much money.
When all your money is spent and you have no money in your hands, you will feel uneasy.
After much thought, she realized that moving out would not be beneficial in any way, but staying would be beneficial in many ways.
Just eat boiled vegetables. With the food expenses they hand in, and mother-in-law being so frugal, she should be able to save enough money for Lu Laosan’s betrothal gift soon.
Thus, the first war of separation in the Lu family ended up with much ado about nothing and disappeared without a trace.
But Lu Laosan never gave up his determination to live in his brother-in-law's house. He had slept on bunk beds for more than 20 years and was tired of it. He really wanted to have a room of his own.
He is Zheng Qiu's brother-in-law. He went to his house and asked for a room to stay. Could he chase him away?
With this idea in mind, Lu Laosan went to find Yuanchun after get off work every few days.
But when he got off work, Yuanchun also got off work.
He didn't know where Yuanchun lived, so he walked around the bank several times but couldn't find her, so he had to return home disappointed.
In early September, Yuanchun received a message from 007, "Host, Lu Manqin and his wife went to the south to find a job and were deceived."
