Chapter 176: Face is not as important as money
"If we don't want to have any contact, then we don't want to have any contact. With Lu Yan's personality, it would be bad luck to get involved with her. The family she married into in Lijiazhuang is quite well-off, but I heard from your father not long ago that the Li family has been almost ruined over the years."
At this point, Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, "Lu Yan came back now, she must have no good intentions. Your brainless father thought she really came back to see him. It's been so many years, why didn't she come back in the past few years? She had to come back after you became capable, isn't it because she was thinking about the things in your hands?"
"Let me tell you, no matter what your father says, you must never agree. Lu Yan has nothing to do with you. If anyone really wants to help, it's only to help you get rid of those useless brothers." Old Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Qianqian and warned.
Lu Qianqian nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you tell me to do."
After coaxing Old Lady Lu for a while, Lu Qianqian said, "Mom, if we don't go out and take a look, what if Dad becomes soft-hearted again?"
Mrs. Lu didn't want to go out and see Lu Yan upset, but when she heard this, she immediately became alert, "Yes, I have to go out and keep an eye on your father. We used to have a relationship, but now he's running back. It looks like he wants to take advantage of you."
Having said that, the old lady walked out in a hurry.
Lu Yan's man Li Sheng saw that Old Lady Lu and the others were hiding inside and not coming out, and the other people in the Lu family were also hiding far away. It was obvious that they had something against them.
If it were in the past, he would definitely not have endured such humiliation. It was not that his family had fallen into decline and the Lu family had risen, so he no longer had the confidence.
His children have all grown up, and he has found wives for them, given them children, and the family's financial situation has been almost fully utilized.
There is also the fourth son, Li Yun. He also has to continue his studies. He is the hope of the Li family. Whether he can return to his previous life depends on the fourth son.
And the fifth brother, Li Bin, has also reached the age where he wants to watch it, but all of these cost money.
For the sake of their sons, they had to come to the Lu family. They had finally convinced their daughter-in-law, and they couldn't let the trip go in vain.
Thinking of this, he endured it.
And judging from the situation, the Lu family still has some affection for the brother-in-law.
If he made any request now, he would definitely be rejected, so he just pulled Old Man Lu aside and talked casually.
Everyone knows that Lu Yan came back this time with a purpose, but she came back to see Old Man Lu, so they couldn't stop her from coming back.
The yard was full of people, so Old Man Lu took Mr. Li to sit in the main hall.
When Li Sheng followed him in, he winked at Lu Yan.
When Old Man Lu saw Mr. Li coming in, he said to Lu Yan, "You come in too." Then he went into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Lu Yan's face looked a little embarrassed. She hadn't been back for decades, and now seeing her eldest brother, she still felt a little awkward.
When asked whether she regretted it, Lu Yan was sure that she did not regret it. She just regretted that she did not take good care of Li Sheng and let him squander the family property.
"Please sit down!" Old Man Lu also sat down and looked at Lu Yan. "Tell me, why did you come back? Didn't you say at the beginning that you would never come back?"
Lu Yan's face darkened. Although the Li family was now defeated, she had been a landlord's wife for many years. Now she was supported by her wives and no one had ever given her any cold shoulder.
The reason why he hasn't come back for so many years is that Lu Yan simply looks down on his elder brother. After their mother passed away, she treated her elder brother as if he didn't exist. She lived a good life with maids and servants serving her, but her elder brother's family was getting poorer and poorer. How could she possibly offer herself to them and let them take advantage of her?
But things are different now. Li family’s wealth has been almost squandered by Li Sheng, and the family is now so poor that they can’t even get enough to eat.
I don't know where Li Sheng heard that her eldest brother's family had risen, and that her eldest brother's daughter had been conferred the title of county lady by the current emperor.
At this moment, Li Sheng’s mind started working, and he thought about the situation of their appearance at the Lu family today.
"Brother, are you really angry with me, your sister? I was young and ignorant at the beginning, and then my mother passed away. I was also sad, but I didn't know what to say to you, so I didn't have the face to come back all these years."
Speaking of this, Old Man Lu also felt uncomfortable. His mother doted on his younger sister the most, otherwise she would not have asked him to prepare such a good dowry for his younger sister.
Later, if it weren't for the issue of dowry, the relationship between Old Man Lu and his sister would still be very good.
Thinking of this, the resentment towards Lu Yan for not coming back for so many years disappeared.
Old Man Lu looked at Lu Yan and his wife. Although their clothes were made of good fabrics, they had turned white.
"Is there something you need today?"
Having been a landlord's wife for so many years, Lu Yan had developed many bad tempers, one of which was her particular concern for face, otherwise she would not have been embarrassed to come back and visit.
She has shame. She was so heartless at the beginning, and now she wants to bring it up again. Doesn't she have any shame?
However, since she was here, Lu Yan also knew that face could not be eaten, so she asked how Old Man Lu had been doing over the years and what was the current situation at home?
Old Man Lu met the girl again after so many years, and when he heard her ask this, he told her some things about his family.
The children in the family have all separated, and they now live with Lu Qianqian. Lu Qianqian is now in charge of everything in the family.
When Lu Yan heard this, she was horrified. "Brother, this is too outrageous. How can a girl be the head of the family? If you tell others about this, they will laugh at our Lu family. Besides, this girl hasn't married yet, so the money she earns should naturally be handed over to you. As a girl, you only need to give her a dowry in the future. Why would she need any money?"
"Also, Zhengguo and Zhengjun still live in this old house. If you have money, why don't you build a few houses for them? When the children grow up, they won't be able to live in separate houses. All these things will cost money. It doesn't make sense for them to keep the money after dividing the family property. Big brother, you can't spoil her!"
"If people knew about an unmarried girl being the head of the family, how would they look upon our Lu family? Big brother, you can't listen to my sister-in-law. She just dotes on her daughter, and small matters are fine, but how can we let them handle such matters as the head of the family?"
At the beginning, Old Man Lu didn't have any idea about whether to be the head of the family or not, after all, they were all his children. But during this period, every time he said something, Old Lady Lu would scold him. She was already a little unhappy, and now after hearing what her younger sister said, she also felt that it was not right to let her daughter be the head of the family.
