Chapter 61 Saving a Life Is Better than Building a Seven-Story Pagoda

The Lu family knew that Mrs. Hu had confessed, and they felt that their previous efforts were not in vain, so they were all very happy. The eldest aunt folded her hands and thanked God for blessing her, and let the bad guys get retribution.

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

It's a good thing that no one cares about it now. If he was seen and reported like a few years ago, his position as the brigade secretary would not be stable.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said: "Uncle, don't scold the eldest aunt. It's all thanks to the eldest aunt and Xiaoqiu. If they hadn't said that harming people would be punished, I wouldn't have thought of this method."

The fact proves that most people in the flower-growing family 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 has nothing to say.

Avoiding Lu Jiaxin, the women in the Lu family talked about this case. Sister-in-law Lu was the first one who couldn't understand: "Is her nephew a fool who can't get married? Is he going to kidnap other people's girls?"

It's no wonder that the eldest aunt really knew the reason. An acquaintance she met at the market this morning told her: "He's not a fool, he's a normal young man."

This old lady Hu has six nephews in her family. For some reason, the first five nephews either had accidents, got sick, or disappeared. Now only the youngest one is left.

The eldest aunt said, "Grandma Hu's family is in the mountains, with little land and very poor. Her male offspring have had accidents one after another, and many people say that their family is cursed, and if she marries there, she will become a widow. So even if her nephew is strong and healthy, he can't get married."

Lu Dasao asked, "In such a poor place, can men in the village get married?"

This eldest aunt was not sure: "She knew Jiaxin's identity and saw that she was simple and easy to deceive, so she had bad intentions. Fortunately, Jiaxin escaped, otherwise her life would be ruined."

Lu Ersao cursed angrily: "This old woman should be cut into pieces."

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

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Jiaxin. They only knew that Lu Jiaxin moved out, but they didn't expect to move to such a big house.

Uncle Lu knew about this, Lu Jiaguang told him. He took the pipe from his waist, knocked it and asked, "Second brother, why are you asking this?"

Second aunt pushed her eldest grandson Lu Wang out and said, "Jia Xin, it's too hard to dig for food in the fields. I have always wanted your fifth brother to take A Wang to Sijiu City to seek a future, but your fifth brother has always said that there is no place for A Wang to live. Jia Xin, your house is so big, let A Wang live with you first. When your fifth brother finds him a job, he will move to the dormitory."

The matter-of-fact tone made Lu Jia Xin laugh. She suddenly understood why Lu Jiaguang said before that the house could not be rented or lent to relatives.

Although Uncle Lu frowned, he did not stop it, and no one else said anything. There are more than ten rooms, so they can stay when they visit in the future.

Lu Jiaxin smiled, and that smile was full of sarcasm: "Second aunt, when my eldest brother joined the army, you were jealous, and when Jiacai brother reached the age, you kept asking him to join the army. My father asked someone to get a quota, but during the political review, it was found that Jiacai brother had a criminal record. You didn't blame Jiacai brother for being impulsive and having a criminal record, but blamed my father for only wanting to promote the eldest wife and not caring about the life and death of the second wife."

These things are not only about the younger generation, but also about the eldest sister-in-law and the sisters-in-law of Lu.

Second aunt Lu paused, then forced a smile and said: "Jiaxin, I have never said these things, it's all nonsense from outsiders."

What Lu Jiaxin hates most is relatives like Second 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 always advised her father to have another son. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a job, anyway, her father can make money. Her father was not affected, but her grandparents listened to it.

So too, she never gave face to those extreme relatives: "My father only has me as a daughter, no son. You told my father that as long as they can find a job for the fifth brother in Sijiu City, he will be adopted by my family. As a result, my father tried his best to get the fifth brother into the shoe factory, but you regretted it when you saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and finally let it go after crying and making a fuss."

The smile on the second aunt's face could not be kept, and she argued: "It was your mother who wanted to adopt Jiajie, but I never agreed."

Lu Jiaxin said disdainfully: "My mother told me since she was a child that having me in her life was enough. She strongly opposed the adoption, and it was my father who wanted a son to inherit the incense. Second aunt, it is understandable that you don't want to adopt the fifth brother. After all, he has made a difference, and you still expect him to be filial to you in the future. But my mother is gone, why do you still want to throw dirty water on her?"

Lu Hongjun was old-fashioned and wanted his son to take care of him in his old age, but later Lu Erbo and his wife regretted it. Although he was angry, he was worried that the matter would affect his reputation. But Lu's mother 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 brothers from her mother's family, so her husband's family dare not bully her.

Uncle Lu didn't expect that his niece had a deep grudge against the second house. It was also at this time that she discovered that her niece had not been to the second house since she came back.

Second Aunt Lu naturally didn't admit it.

Lu Jiaxin sneered and said, "Do you think I don't know your little tricks in your mind? Let Lu Wang live in my house first, and then find an excuse to live there. When Lu Wang gets married and has children in my house, he can occupy my house legitimately."

Second Aunt naturally didn't admit it, and she turned the tables and said that Lu Jiaxin had no respect for the elders: "When the third son comes back, I will ask him how he taught."

Lu's mother had a harmonious relationship with her second roommate, which was the result of her many concessions. The purpose was to get Lu Jiajie to take more care of his original self. 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 there will be no one to take care of you until you die."

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, and with the help of his brothers and sisters, he thought it was appropriate. But attacking Jiaxin's house is not possible. He immediately scolded: "Younger's family, you've already lived to the end of 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 kind-hearted 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 thought she was too murderous and 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 back: "Auntie, do you think she will give up if I reject her? Maybe when we leave tomorrow, she will push Awang into the car?"

Of course, even if Aunt Lu did this, she wouldn't 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.

The uncle is not speaking his native language, and with the temperament of the second son’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. The little cabbage bullied by others.”

"Men are all sentimental and unsexy. I will live alone in this life if I don't get married. I will kill myself when I get old and can no longer move."

The eldest aunt turned green: "You kid, how can you have such extreme ideas? Your dad is just an exception. There are still many good men in the world."

I don’t deny that there are good men in this world, but whether they are good or bad, who knows until 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 didn't 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'm 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." How heartbroken.”

The child was well-behaved and obedient when he came here last time, but now he is full of 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, "It's Lao San who has caused Jia Xin to be like this. As the old saying goes, the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell, so Lao San must comfort Jia Xin more.

Uncle Lu felt that a two-pronged approach would 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 objection.

In the evening, Lu Jiaxin made another 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."

At noon, Zaohua fainted from hunger, 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 an unattainable dream for her.

Lu Jiaxin said: "I asked my uncle this morning, and 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 felt that 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 with a smile: "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 studying. 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: "Don't 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 put any burden on 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 still very prestigious. He can definitely convince Zaohuaniang on this matter.

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 have to act like a cow 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 looked strange. My sister-in-law is about the same age as her, but she talks 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 you are not in good health, you will not be able to get into college."

Zaohua nodded repeatedly, looking like a bird trying to catch its prey.

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

She didn't give it to Zaohua directly 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 moment 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 That's right. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If my father doesn't agree, then I'll support her myself."

"You fund it yourself? Where do you get the money?"

Lu Jiaxin said in a very relaxed tone: "It's good to make money! In more than a month in the ancient capital, I saved more than three hundred yuan from being penniless, and I still have more than two hundred 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 study. You are not allowed to set up a stall."

Lu Jiaxin immediately expressed her position: "Uncle, I can still distinguish what is more 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."
