After Aping finished complaining, the other three people immediately picked up the conversation and shared their respective difficulties and last resorts.

Older people tend to be soft-hearted, especially these young men in front of them whom Lu Jianguo has watched since childhood and has certain feelings for them.

Yao Minghui has lived with her parents-in-law all year round, and even knows the couple better than their son. As soon as she saw her father-in-law unconsciously rubbing his fingers, she knew that he was soft-hearted.

At the moment when her father-in-law was about to speak, Yao Minghui started a tactical cough in time to interrupt the spell.

Lu Chuyao sat next to his sister-in-law. Seeing how badly she coughed, he gently rubbed her back with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Yao Minghui waved her hands and repeatedly said it was okay.She secretly glanced at her brother-in-law, who happened to also look over. The two eyes met, and Song Mingze blinked and looked away.

He said in a steady voice, "I'm sorry, the troops have strict regulations. I'm just an ordinary battalion commander. Apart from leading troops, I really don't know anything else."

The unhesitating rejection made Aping and others panic, knowing that Song Mingze was their last hope.

His dull eyes only stared blankly for two seconds in the silent space. Perhaps out of reluctance, Aping wanted to give it a last try. He timidly took two steps forward and begged, "Brother Mingze, I really can't." There's a solution, please. I know that we are not as good as Chuyao's cousins, but for the sake of being in the same village, can you please be kind and help me out?"

As he spoke, several people were about to kneel down.

Seeing this, Lu Haoyang frowned slightly, stopped them with an ugly expression, and shouted sternly, "What are you doing! Mingze has made it very clear that he can't help."

"Brother Haoyang, don't stop us. We sincerely want to ask him for help. Brother Mingze, don't worry, as long as you are willing to help, we brothers will repay you in the future." A grown man said She was crying as she spoke, which really made Li Miaohua unbearable.

She wanted her daughter to persuade her son-in-law, but was shocked by the cold look on her daughter's face.

"enough!"

Everyone was interrupted by a shout, and the whole place fell into silence.Lu Chuyao stood up and walked to her husband. Facing the crying Ah Ping and others, he exuded a chill every word, "If you can't ask for help, why do you engage in moral kidnapping?"

She looked at the leader A Ping calmly, her lips parted slightly, "Although I don't know where you heard about my cousin and sister-in-law, I can tell you clearly." Her indifferent eyes swept over the people in front of her. With a smile on his face, he continued, "The reason why these two couples are able to establish themselves in the city is not because of my husband, but because of me."

"The jobs I created for them with my money and efforts gave them a temporary roof over their heads. And the reason why I am willing to help is mostly because of my parents. Zhou Tao is my mother's nephew."

While Ah Ping and others were dumbfounded, she made the final conclusion, "I am afraid of trouble, especially when I have to worry about irrelevant people and things. So, please come back."

After a while, the main room returned to silence.

Lu Jianguo looked at his daughter with a complicated expression and murmured, "Yaoyao, those words you just said were too serious. They are all neighbors who look up but don't look down. How will we get along with each other in the future?"

The older generation cares about face, so they are often unable to refuse requests regardless of whether they are reasonable or unreasonable.

In the hearts of Lu Jianguo and Li Miaohua, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If I help you today, you will help me tomorrow.

"Hey, parents, why do you have to turn around and embarrass your own son-in-law for the sake of irrelevant others?"

Lu Chuyao nodded sharply, raised the curve of his mouth deeply, and said in a soft voice: "Yes, yes, brother is right, whose parents are you? You only understand that others do not feel sorry for your daughter."

She hummed, turning away from the cold and arrogant look she had just shown.

Song Mingze took his wife's hand lovingly and asked her to sit down, "What Dad said makes sense. Next time you encounter something similar, you can be more tactful."

A person's friendship will be compared with a person's hatred, not to mention that you haven't agreed to their request yet. If you meet someone who is petty, you will inevitably not be resented.

Li Miaohua echoed her son-in-law's words. She believed that her daughter was spoiled by her family and did things without any scruples. Sooner or later, she would suffer a big loss.

Facing the preaching of his parents and relatives, Lu Chuyao was tired of hearing it, so he simply covered his ears with his hands and said, "Don't listen, don't listen."

"Don't listen, don't listen." Song Zhiyu ran over and leaned on her mother's knees, imitating her example.

The quirky little man raised his bun face, and Lu Chuyao pinched his itchy hands, "You're not big or small, how can you imitate your mother?"

Li Miaohua picked up her grandson with a smile, and slapped her daughter on the back of her hand, scolding her, "You are neither big nor small. The child has a tender face. Don't pinch her at all times. Look, my sweet grandson is turning red when pinched."

The meal at noon was very sumptuous. Yao Minghui slaughtered the fattest chicken in the yard at the instruction of her mother-in-law. She ate two of the chickens, half stir-fried and half stewed in soup.

"Come on, drink more chicken soup. It's good for your health." Li Miaohua felt heartbroken because her daughter hadn't been home for more than half a year. The way she expressed her love was to keep serving her daughter meat and vegetables.

"Mom~, please leave me alone and eat well by yourself. I have a small appetite and can't drink that much."

When Song Mingze received his wife's look for help, he immediately reached for the chicken soup in her bowl and took a few sips, then returned it only when there was no more oil floating on it.

Lu Chuyao picked up the chicken soup and nodded with satisfaction, then drank it in small sips.

Others expressed their indifference to the couple's interaction.

In addition to Yao Minghui looking at her sister-in-law with envy, and comparing her brother-in-law and her husband back and forth, she was even more envious of her than I didn't know!

"Tsk, why are you stepping on me?" Lu Haoyang was lying innocently.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Lu Zigui! If you dare to waste food on me, just try it!"

After dealing with her husband, Yao Minghui squinted at her son.Under his mother's eyeful warning, Lu Zigui quickly put the vegetables he was trying to throw into his mouth and chewed them like wax.

The family finished lunch lively. Lu Jianguo was bored and followed his cute little grandson. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he stood up and walked to the backyard with his knees up.

Not long after, he came out with a few fist-sized pieces of wood. Lu Zigui jumped up and down to his grandfather. Song Zhiyu was Lu Zigui's little tail. The two of them surrounded Lu Jianguo, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Grandpa, what are you doing again?"

"Haha, grandpa wants to make a wooden carriage for your brother." He told his grandson in a loving and warm voice.

Lu Zigui pouted, "Humph!"

"Why are you humming? Your uncle also gave you a cannon model that is hard to buy even if you have money. If you are jealous, just give me the gift back." Lu Haoyang patted his son on the back of his head and gave him a lesson in love.

Lu Zigui hugged the gift tightly and turned his back to his father, "No, give it to me and it's mine."

"So, stop nagging me."
