Chapter 43 The Truth ([-])

"The third aunt's health is not good. When she was pregnant with the child, she fell again and gave birth prematurely. The baby was stillborn. The doctor also said that she would never give birth again. The third aunt was so stimulated that she refused to do anything. Believe that the child died in infancy, and those who are dying are clamoring to jump into the river."

Lu Aijiao's voice was a little choked up. When she was a child, she saw everything in her eyes but didn't know how much these things had affected her family and her parents. Sometimes she would actually secretly complain that her parents were partial.

She didn't really understand her parents until she grew up, got married and had children.

"If the third uncle knelt in front of our father and refused to get up, begging him to take Aiguo to appease the third aunt, our younger brother would never be able to hold Aiguo back and become a cousin. Aiguo has since become the third uncle's child , that cousin who died young became our younger brother."

"By the time our mother found out, the matter had become a foregone conclusion. She cried and made a fuss. As a result, our father didn't say a word and sat there while she beat and scolded. In the end, our mother had no choice but to hit the wall. Grandpa personally Come to her and beg her, saying that if she can't have another son in the future, she will definitely help her get Aiguo back and tell the truth about Aiguo. But if she has a son in the future, let this matter become a secret forever."

Lu Aijiao looked at Lu Aimei helplessly.

"I didn't want to tell you. Patriotic himself doesn't know about it, and neither does my younger brother. I promised my grandfather that I wouldn't say anything."

"Do you know how much your attitude towards patriotism these years has hurt our parents? Especially our mother, she is too guilty of being patriotic. The third uncle died a long time ago, and the third aunt can't stand like that Temperament, Aiguo started to support a family when he was more than ten years old, and he suffered so much hardship alone, he should not have suffered the hardships."

"In addition, you are always hostile to Aiguo, so that Aiguo dare not come to accept our parents' kindness too often. Asking him to come to dinner four or five times out of ten times is considered too much. Until now you are still like this .” Lu Aijiao’s expression was filled with hatred.

"Patriotic marriage, our parents asked us to pay more gift money, but didn't they also subsidize the extra part? What else do you want?"

"I don't know, why would I be angry if I knew?" Lu Aimei was embarrassed, because her parents paid them the price difference, which made her even more angry.

"Now I know, you won't be awkward with Patriotic anymore, right? Tomorrow, you should take your petty temper and don't gossip with Patriotic daughter-in-law. She is a second marriage with a child. That's what Patriotic wants and likes. Even if we are brothers and sisters, we don’t have the right to talk too much.”

Lu Aijiao stared at her, asking her for a guarantee.She knew that Lu Aimei had some complaints about Lu Aiguo marrying Xia Yuan.

Lu Aimei's psychology is also very strange. While she doesn't like Lu Aiguo herself, she defends Lu Aiguo very much in front of outsiders.I can say what about Lu Aiguo, and I can scold him for not liking him.But he can't tolerate outsiders saying bad things about him.

"Got it, I know it all, and I definitely can't be serious with him anymore." Lu Aimei was a little awkward, although it was difficult for her to change her attitude towards Lu Aiguo for a while, but she couldn't do it if she didn't change.Fortunately, it doesn't matter that it can be changed slowly.

But for her "cousins" in name, who are actually her own siblings, she decided to change her attitude when she first met her tomorrow, and she couldn't be as lukewarm as she originally thought.

"Then the first time we meet our younger brother and sister, we have to give a meeting gift, or should it be a little more than what we gave to Zhang Cai?" Lu Aimei thought of it and asked Lu Aijiao for her opinion.

"Just the same. Don't make Zhang Cai have any objections." Lu Aijiao was also sincerely happy to see Lu Aimei turn around, "Don't let this matter out."

"Why? It's been so many years, Lu Aiguo must know." Lu Aimei muttered dissatisfied.

"If I tell you not to leak it, don't leak it. We shouldn't care about this matter." Lu Aijiao stared.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Yun happily followed Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan for a walk to Lu Erbo's house.

On the road, there were several waves of neighbors returning from the fields who were carrying hoes, shoulder poles, and dung buckets.

Most of them are just a sentence, "Patriotic, how about taking your wife or daughter out for a stroll?" or "Have you eaten?", "Where are you going?", "Come and sit at home when you have time." Such words.

Sometimes Lu Aiguo simply replied, sometimes he just nodded or smiled and then passed by.Xia Yuan kept smiling and didn't talk much to others.

After avoiding people around the courtyard of the second uncle's house, Lu Yun took out two baskets, one big and one small, and Lu Aiguo laughed, "Fortunately, there is your big warehouse, but why do you look like an underground party? "

Lu Yun giggled, opened her mouth and sang: "The red star shines brightly, shines on all generations, the red star shines brightly, shines brightly, the red star is the heart of our workers and peasants."

Lu Aiguo couldn't help laughing, and sang along with him, while Xia Yuan laughed and helplessly watched the father and daughter play.The singing quickly attracted the second aunt to come out. She opened the yard door, leaned out and smiled and said, "I knew it was you from the sound. Don't come in quickly when you get to the door, and stand at the door to practice your voice?"

"Second aunt, is my second uncle back yet?" Lu Aiguo led Xia Yuan with one hand and Lu Yun with the other into the courtyard, stood still, and closed the courtyard door with his backhand, and carefully inserted the wooden dowel.

"I came back to eat. What are you bringing here? Why do you still have to close the door and make it so obsessed?" The second aunt saw that both Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan were carrying such a big basket. When he was idle, he lowered his voice angrily and rushed towards Lu Aiguo.

"Didn't you just bring so many meat buns yesterday, why do you have something again today? You have a family and a business, you have children and a wife to support, and the burden is heavy. You can't keep things by yourself, so you have to give them away?"

"I have a little background recently, and it's easy to get something, Second Auntie, tell me if you need anything in the future, maybe I can get it for you." Lu Aiguo temporarily put the things in his hand aside , grinning and approaching the second aunt.He was not in a hurry to go to the main room, he had to deal with the second aunt first.

Xia Yuan and Lu Yun looked at each other without saying a word, but spontaneously looked around a few steps behind.In fact, the layout of Lu Erbo's house is similar to theirs, but there will be two more rooms.

"I don't need anything, don't waste money." The second aunt looked at Lu Aiguo's back basket, and saw that it was full of sharp things, but it was dark and the light in the room couldn't tell what it was, but She still had a worried look on her face.

"Second Auntie, just put your heart in your stomach. I wasn't the kind of troublemaker and inconspicuous when I was a child, right? I never do things that don't make sense or make mistakes. In fact, Shitou and I accidentally I helped a man with a sports car in another place, and he was almost robbed at that time."

Lu Aiguo looked at the second aunt's appearance, and knew in his heart that she was really worried. He was a little moved and stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulders, and leaned his head to explain in a low voice.

"The meat buns are a thank you gift from that person. We bought most of these things today with money, and the money spent on useless tickets is not too much. They are mainly practical things."

Ever since he was a child, Lu Aiguo really had the illusion that his second aunt seemed to be more worried about him than his biological mother, and also treated him a little better.
