Chapter 1997: Money Moves People's Hearts 1
Lu Jiang had almost no impression of Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu's children. How could he have an impression if he had never met them? He didn't even recognize them when they met.
He only knew that their twins went to the Great Northern Wilderness, and later asked Kou Yong to take care of them, which led to his marriage with Xu Miao.
Later, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had a bad impression of Xu's children. They didn't visit their parents for more than ten years, and no matter how many reasons they had, it was unacceptable.
Now that he heard that the eldest son of the Xu family instigated Xu Miao and Xu Xin to calculate the gold and jewelry hidden by the two elders in their early years, Lu Jiang's impression of the eldest son of the Xu family became even worse.
It's not because the two elders' treasures were in Feng Qingxue's hands. Feng Qingxue exchanged them for food in that difficult period, and she felt at ease.
The price of gold has risen now, but at that time, it was a great luck to be able to exchange gold for food.
Moreover, the Xu family's eldest brother and his twin brother and sister were able to get through the difficult times safely, thanks to the food that the Xu family's elders got from Feng Qingxue. After being transferred to the Wanglou Brigade, the two elders would think of their children when they had good things, and they often took scarce materials such as brown sugar and bacon from Feng Qingxue.
The Lu family does not owe the Xu family anything, let alone the Xu family's children.
So, Lu Jiang said to Kou Yong indifferently: "The Xu family's elders have always been reasonable, so your brother-in-law can come."
Kou Yong sighed: "Miaomiao and Xinzi refused outright, saying that even if those things were still there, they belonged to their parents, and they did not covet them. They were already unfilial for not being able to be filial to the two elders, so how could they count on the old people's things? Moreover, the two elders sent them so much food during the difficult period, it was impossible to say that they did not use any of it. At that time, only gold could be exchanged for some life-saving food on the black market, and there was a great possibility that they could not keep it when they were in trouble."
Lu Jiang nodded slightly, which sounded like a human saying.
"Thank you, Yongzi. I understand. This matter is not suitable for us to get involved. When your brother-in-law arrives in Huaihai City, the two elders will solve it."
"Why don't you tell your parents-in-law?"
Hearing Kou Yong's surprised tone, Lu Jiang still smiled faintly, "It's difficult for a judge to judge family affairs."
Besides, they are outsiders, especially Feng Qingxue has benefited from it from the beginning, so they can't be a bad guy and remind the two elders of the Xu family that their eldest son is plotting against them.
No matter how bad he is, he is still the biological son of the two elders of the Xu family. I heard from Xibao that even if they didn't get filial piety from their children in these years, the two elders always thought about them.
Kou Yong thought for a moment, then said, "It's up to you. I just want to tell you something. When I first met this brother-in-law, I felt that he was not upright and had a lot of airs. Let's not talk about him. I have something to ask you."
"If you have something to ask, just say it. Why do you need to ask?"
Kou Yong sighed, "My brother-in-law brought his daughter to my house. She was wearing nice clothes. It was nothing. My children don't have the mind to compete with others. Whose children don't wear pudding clothes? But that girl named Xu Jingying laughed at my daughter in front of her, saying that she was a country girl and a poor bastard! I don't know how sad I am as a father. Even if Xu Jingying takes the train to the south tomorrow, I also want to comfort my daughter. The clothes in the capital must be very fashionable. Please buy two pieces for me and send them to me. I will remit the money to you later."
"It's no trouble at all." Lu Jiang agreed immediately, "How old is your daughter and how tall is she? Tell me and I will write it down."
