Chapter 24 Complexity

The next morning, Su Qingying woke up with soreness all over her body, and was startled to find that Lv Bocheng was leaning against the bed and looking at her.

Lv Bocheng looked away somewhat embarrassedly.

Su Qingying rolled her eyes at him, and after he served her attentively, she cleaned herself up and let the guy take her to the kitchen.

The Lv family usually hired a woman to help with three meals a day and some housework, but she did not live at home. She came every morning and went home after cooking in the evening. Her home was also in the town.

On this day, Lv Bocheng's stepmother did not let the woman come.

In the local area, it is a tradition for a newlywed woman to cook soup for the first meal of the day after the wedding for the father-in-law and mother-in-law. Su Qingying did not say a word.

When she arrived at the kitchen, she took a look and started working.

In the kitchen, there were firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, grains, vegetables, meat, rice and noodles, all complete. The kitchen was also bigger than the Su family's, with a higher roof, and was cleaned very clean by the helpers, saving Su Qingying the effort of cleaning.

After asking about the preferences of Lu Bocheng's family, she started to work.

Seeing that he was still in the kitchen, she ordered him to fetch water and light the fire, and he worked hard.

When Su Qingying made several breakfasts and brought them to the main room with Lu Bocheng, Lu's father, stepmother Wu and others had not appeared yet.

Su Qingying looked at the breakfast on the flower table, which was delicious and fragrant, and her mouth was watering. She got up early in the morning and worked for a long time, but she didn't even have time to drink water. Her stomach had already protested.

Fortunately, it is summer now. If it were winter, the oil would have frozen the vegetables.

Looking at Lu Bocheng again, he clenched his hands, his face was full of anger, and he was about to lose his temper.

Su Qingying hurriedly pulled him over: "Tell me about your family."

Lu Bocheng was full of anger, but it immediately dissipated.

Taking the opportunity, he took her to sit on the chair and told her about the Lu family.

At that time, Lu's father and mother were from the next village, and the elders knew each other. Father Lu was a restless person since childhood. He didn't like to work in the fields and liked to run outside. He didn't like the small things in the fields, so he liked to run outside to think about ways to make money.

When he saved some money, he bought goods and traveled around villages and towns as a peddler. When he reached the age of marriage, few families were willing to marry him. The older generation preferred men who were down-to-earth and family-oriented.

But mother Lu liked him and insisted on marrying him despite her parents' opposition. The Lu family was very happy and quickly arranged a wedding for the two. They also praised this diligent and honest daughter-in-law.

The couple gradually expanded their burden as peddlers, from carrying the goods on their shoulders to pulling the goods on ox carts, and hired assistants. They sold more goods, traveled farther, and made more money.

A few years later, Lu Bocheng was born, and mother Lu wanted to settle down.

At that time, the only son of Lv Bocheng's grandparents had an accident and died before he could become a family. Lv's mother became the only support. Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law wanted to settle down, she was overjoyed and sold a few acres of land at home and gave all her savings to her daughter and son-in-law.

The couple got money from the Yue family and soon bought a shop in Fengting Town and opened a grocery store. Their lives were thriving and gradually settled down.

When Lv Bocheng was three years old, Lv's father went out to buy goods and brought back Wu. At that time, she was still pregnant and holding a child who was almost three years old.

Lv's mother was hit hard.

Lv's father went out to buy goods, and she was busy in and out, taking care of her parents-in-law in the countryside and managing the business. She didn't take care of her young son and left him to her parents. But she didn't expect her husband to turn around and bring another woman back.

Lv's mother fell ill.

After struggling for several years and fighting wits and courage with Wu, she finally couldn't stand it when Lv Bocheng was six years old and left the young Lv Bocheng. Lv Bocheng's grandparents could not bear the blow of their two children's death, and they passed away in a few years.

Lv Bocheng became a poor little boy with no one to take care of him.

As he grew older, he would see his father, Mrs. Wu, and their three children being affectionate, and his eyes would be filled with anger. Gradually, he didn't like to stay at home anymore, and began to play with cats and dogs, call friends, and not do anything else.

Su Qingying glanced at Lv Bocheng, and luckily, he didn't grow up to be disabled. He could still be saved.

Lv Bocheng noticed Su Qingying's gaze and looked at her face: "What's wrong?"

Su Qingying shook her head: "Nothing."

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Your second brother, are you sure it's your father's?"

Lv Bocheng was a little disdainful and sneered: "I hope he's not. But when you see him, you will know, he is carved in almost the same shape as my father. Otherwise, that family would have raised him for three years, and they couldn't have driven him out when they saw my father in the end."

This Mrs. Wu, tut tut, is really lucky.

They were not put into the pig cage by that family, but were just driven out, and they lived a good life. What luck.

While her husband was working outside, she hooked up with the seller Lu's father, got pregnant with Lu's father's child, and dared to give birth to him in that family. Three years later, when Lu's father went to sell goods again, she dared to approach him and chatted with him. In the end, he was caught by that family and the mother and son were driven out.

Tsk tsk, Wu, this woman, was not punished in the end, and was held in the palm of Lu's hand. She gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Lu family, not only washed away the stain, but also straightened her back. Not only did she jump out of the mountain nest, but she also lived a life of counting copper coins every day without getting wet.

Tsk tsk. In the previous life, she must have given food to the lucky star.

As for that family, they raised someone else's child for three years, and I don't know how people in the village talked about it. I guess Lu's father also lost a lot, which is also a consolation.

Then take the silver and marry a good relative. Everyone is happy. Only Su Qingying's mother-in-law has a miserable life.

She also admired her own mother-in-law. Father Lu lost all his money and pawned his pants. He almost lost his shop. But he was able to give him all the money under such circumstances and persuade his parents to sell their land to save the shop.

In the end, he died early due to exhaustion.

"Your grandparents should have said something before they passed away, right?"
