"Sister-in-law." Fang Minghua stood up and greeted.

"Xiao Fang, are you here?" Linda replied, parked the bicycle, picked up her daughter and looked at Lu Yao: "On my way back just now, I heard a strange young man near the entrance of the Writers Association compound, dressed in sloppy clothes. Sloppy, swearing, I seem to hear your and Xiaofang’s names, what’s going on?”

Lu Yao laughed loudly after hearing this, and briefly told his wife about the situation just now.

"Xiao Fang, you did the right thing! You can't have a good face towards that kind of gangster!" Linda turned around and looked at Fang Minghua, praising: "My Lu Yao is sometimes thin-skinned and can't save face."

"That's because Brother Lu is kind-hearted and not as angry as me."

"He's a bad virtuous person! He's a bad person! Not to mention anything else, he treats his relatives even though he doesn't make much money, and he slaps them in the face and pretends to be fat."

Linda started to tell, and Fang Minghua saw Lu Yao's face was a little unhappy, so he quickly interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, it's late, I have to go to work. Brother Lu, let's talk another day. Mingming, goodbye!"

"Goodbye uncle!"

Fang Minghua hurriedly left the small courtyard where Lu Yao lived.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

This is especially true of Lu Yao's family. I heard that he and his wife always have conflicts and quarrels are common.

It would be a headache for anyone to encounter this kind of thing, not to mention that I am only a young man in his early twenties now, so it is really difficult to get involved.

Unexpectedly, two days later, when Fang Minghua was about to go home after get off work in the afternoon, Lu Yao came to the door again.

The workplace cafeteria was closed in the afternoon, so Fang Minghua went back to eat and also went home to visit his parents. After all, he had to be on duty at night and was not staying at home. He had just packed up his books and was about to lock the door when he saw Lu Yao hurriedly walked into the small courtyard.

"Xiao Fang? Are you off work? Let's go have a drink with my brother!"

drink wine?

Lu Yao usually had a smile on his face when he entertained guests for drinks, but today his face was as gloomy as the weather today.

"What's wrong? Brother Lu, did you have a quarrel with your sister-in-law?" Fang Minghua asked tentatively.

"That aunt. Hey, let's not talk about her anymore. Let's go and drink, drink!" Lu Yao grabbed his arm and pulled him out.

Fang Minghua had no choice but to follow Lu Yao out of the unit and walk to a small restaurant on the north side of the intersection. After entering, Lu Yao shouted to the boss: "Comrade, have a bottle of Zephyr! Let's have a dish of flowers and hair, green peppers turned into eggs, and bangbang meat." , the last two bowls of Qishan Sauce Noodles!"

"Comrade, wait a moment, we'll get it done right away."

Soon, the chef in the store brought out three plates of side dishes. A bottle of wine and a glass for each person.

The so-called Huamaoyi is a platter of spiced peanuts and spiced edamame. Fang Minghua also particularly likes this dish to go with wine.

And the food in this small restaurant is very good.

Of course, his mind was not here today.

After the wine was served, Fang Minghua poured a glass for Lu Yao first, and the two drank it all. Then he poured another glass for the other person, and then asked: "Brother Lu, what's going on?"

"That aunt of mine looks down on our relatives!" Lu Yao sighed and told the story of today.

It turns out that today, a distant relative of Lu Yao came from Qinbei. In terms of seniority, Lu Yao should be called uncle. He was carrying a small bag of millet and came specifically from his hometown to see him.

He said that his family had no money to hoist the cave dwelling, but he heard that Lu Yao had made a lot of money writing novels in Xijing, so he planned to borrow two to three hundred yuan. “You agreed?” Fang Minghua asked.

"Yes, how difficult is it for people to come all the way from Qinbei to Xijing? Besides, I have met this uncle before. If I don't lend it back and say I won't lend it back, where do you think I will give up my face?" Lu Haruka explained.

"I agreed at that time, but I didn't have that much money, so I asked your sister-in-law to get some from home, but your sister-in-law said she didn't have any."

"Why? I know that I still have more than three hundred yuan at home, but she said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon and she needs money to buy new year's goods. Mingming will go to a nursery after spring, and she also needs money! I will definitely go back to Qinbei with you during the Chinese New Year. It costs a lot of money back home.”

"The two of us started arguing at home. When my uncle saw this, he quietly left. When I found out and ran out, the other party was gone. What do you think this is?"

At the end of the sentence, Lu Yao picked up the wine glass and took a sip, as if to vent his resentment.

Why.
  Fang Minghua suddenly thought of a word that was very popular in later generations.

Original family.

Before traveling through time, Fang Minghua read some information about Lu Yao's family on the Internet.

Lu Yao's family is very poor. He was adopted by his uncle when he was young. There are many children and relatives in the family, which puts a heavy burden on him. After he works, he has to send money back home.

After he became famous after writing "Life", relatives and friends came to visit him one after another, either asking for money or interceding to arrange jobs for their children. Lu Yao was regarded as a wealthy, powerful and omnipotent person.

After all, it is the golden phoenix that flies out of the poor ravine.

Lu Yao was also a good-looking person, doing his best to help and being generous, sometimes even disregarding his own family life, which Linda couldn't accept.

This was one of the reasons that prompted their divorce.

Now Lu Yao is facing this big problem.

Of course Fang Minghua doesn't want to see a writer he admires having a messy family life and dying young. Is there any reason for this?
  After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "Brother Lu, I know that you made a lot of money from publishing "Life" including adapting it into a drama, etc., and that both you and my sister-in-law are paid. Let me ask you, if you are like you now Do you think the flower planting method is enough?"

"I made some money, but to be honest it's not enough. I'm embarrassed to say it in front of others, but you are my brother and you understand me, so I'm not afraid of showing my ugly face."

Lu Yao peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth, and continued:
  "As you know, I spend a lot of money on smoking and drinking. I have to send some money back to my parents every month. My five brothers and sisters also need to support me sometimes, plus relatives and friends back home. I have my own little family. Look, there are so many places to spend money, how can the salary and royalties be enough?!"

"Since it's not enough, you have to reduce the places where you spend money, ensure the most important expenses first, and then spend other places if you have spare money." Fang Minghua suggested.

"Reduce expenses? How to reduce them? I think they are all places where money should be spent. The family must have basic expenses, right? Don't you give it from your parents? Don't give it to your brothers and sisters? Or do you give it to relatives and friends?"

"Brother Lu, listening to your words, you have actually sorted out the priorities in your mind." Fang Minghua laughed after hearing this.

"First of all, your little family, sister-in-law, Mingming, these are the people you are closest to, especially the person your sister-in-law wants to live with you for the rest of your life, you should treat her well! I heard that your sister-in-law also funded your living expenses for college. Quite a few, right?”

"Yes, at that time I was recommended to go to Yan'an University, and my family could not afford the living expenses. At that time, your sister-in-law and I fell in love and we were not married yet, but she always supported me. I am really grateful to her for this." Lu Yao said emotionally. .

"In this case, you should care for her, love her, and care for this family. This comes first, followed by your adoptive father and mother. They raised you. You should be filial to her now."

Lu Yao nodded after hearing this.

"We are brothers and sisters. After all, blood is thicker than water, but you can do your best within your limits. Don't become a brother-supporting demon."

"What is Fu Di Mo?" Lu Yao was very surprised to hear this.
