Chapter 100 Helping in Times of Need 4
When Wang Jiao thought of her father, she was furious.
No matter how close her niece was, could she be closer than her own daughter?
But her father refused to agree to cancel the marriage between Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang and let her marry Lu Jiang. He kept saying that one should be credible and that they were already engaged. Didn't he know that marriage was the only way to count? As long as they were not married, the engagement could be canceled. This kind of thing happened in the countryside. Did they keep their word when they canceled the engagement? No.
Wang Jiao was angry and her face looked a little ugly. In the eyes of Lu's father and Lu Tianjun, she looked like a troublemaker. Lu Tianzhi was timid and immediately hid behind his brother.
Lu's father frowned slightly, but soon relaxed and said lightly: "Oh, it's Wang Jiao from the secretary's family. What's the matter?"
In front of outsiders, Lu's father never called Wang Zhengguo by his name.
"Uncle Lu!" It was cold outside and hot inside. Wang Jiao's cheeks flushed. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and there was a hint of shyness in her joy. "It's snowing and the weather is cold. I'll send you some charcoal for warming the fire."
In fact, Wang Jiao knew that the three-year famine had not ended yet. She wanted to send some food, but the food at home was locked up by her mother.
My family had a fixed amount of food, so how could my parents allow me to give away food?
Father Lu took a look at the charcoal poured out from the small basket. How could he not recognize that it was sent out by his family? He raised his head and looked at Wang Jiao for a few times. He was surprised for a moment, and then said politely: "I appreciate it, but we can't accept it. It's not earned by our own labor, and we are ashamed to use it. Now the weather is very cold, you should take it back to warm your parents."
Father Lu was surprised because Wang Jiao had changed a lot, and became almost like a different person.
Although Wang Jiao used to be spoiled, as the daughter of the branch secretary, she had no shortage of food and clothing, so it was understandable. However, at that time, her words and deeds were no different from those of ordinary farm girls.
Now, she is dressed very carefully, and her every move is full of superiority.
This feeling is like a poor person who suddenly becomes rich and feels superior after a few years of a wealthy life different from the past.
However, no matter how Wang Jiao changes, it has nothing to do with her family, as long as she does not come to ruin the marriage of her son and daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, Father Lu lowered his eyes.
Wang Jiao didn't understand what Father Lu said. She just wanted to please Father Lu and make Lu Jiang happy. She said hurriedly: "Uncle Lu, I really want to help you. Really, I know you are good people and shouldn't be treated like this, but I can't do anything about it. I can only help you in life. Besides, if I don't tell you about this matter and you don't tell me, how can others know it?"
"God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know." Father Lu's tone was very light, and he was a little impatient.
Both were gifts, but Feng Qingxue and Wang Jiao were two different things.
Feng Qingxue was Lu Jiang's engaged daughter-in-law who had not married yet. She was a member of the Lu family. She took good care of her father-in-law and nephew without asking for anything in return. She was filial and kind, and she was also a real help in times of need.
Wang Jiao was an outsider, and her behavior was very purposeful, which made people feel uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that Wang Jiao has a problem with her character. She knew that Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were engaged, but she still interfered. Not to mention that Feng Qingxue is perfect, even if Feng Qingxue has a bad personality, Lu's father would not consider marrying Wang Jiao as his daughter-in-law.
