5. Chapter V
Although she became the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, Ruan Huizhen never thought of living in the Lu family for the rest of her life. Especially Lu Canwen is really unreliable, even if he is not a scumbag who abandons his wife, he is definitely an unfilial son.
She would never live with such a person for the rest of her life. However, although this era is open-minded, it is still very strict with women. She didn't want the wolf to escape, and if she wanted to leave, she naturally had to agree to the Lu family at that time.
Ruan Huizhen wanted to understand these causes and consequences, and she was even happier than if she had just gotten a few strains of ginseng.
The original depressed mood is now swept away, and I sleep very sweetly at night.
Compared with Ruan Huizhen's good mood, Mrs. Lu is very sad. My son has not returned for several years, and he did not come back on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and it is estimated that he will not come back this year. She also felt a little hopeless now. But what about the ancestral home? If the three thousand oceans were placed in the past, they would be nothing, but now for her, they are really a hero who is hard to die for.
Because of something on her mind, the old lady was depressed for several days, and her appetite was not very good. Ruan Huizhen persuaded her every day, but it was useless.
After the Lantern Festival, after Ruan Huizhen finished eating the Lantern Festival, he went back to the house to check the ginseng, and found that he had grown up again, and estimated that he should also have a century-old ginseng appearance, so he went out of the house to find Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu was sitting in front of the window in a daze, and there was a jewelry box in front of her, and the jewelry inside was gone, leaving only an empty box.
"This box is made of rosewood, if you take it for money, you should be able to exchange some for it."
Ruan Huizhen heard Mrs. Lu say before that this box was the dowry given by her family when she first came out of the cabinet. That's all that's left for all these years. The baby is amazing on weekdays. When I couldn't eat, I didn't take it out for money. Now that she took it out, it was enough to see that she was determined to keep her house.
Ruan Huizhen pushed the box to Mrs. Lu's side, "Mother, you don't need to sell the box, you can put it away." I have the money to pay back. “
"Don't coax me, where did you get the money, our family has already bottomed out."
Mrs. Lu didn't believe that Ruan Huizhen was rich at all. After all, when Ruan Huizhen got married, she didn't have any dowry. And the situation of the Ruan family is not very good.
"Mother, it's not my money, it's my mother's family. When my father and mother left, they left a family heirloom for my younger brother Huixian, saying that Huixian would use it to revive the lintel in the future. It's a pity that Huixian has left the house a long time ago, so all these years, things have been left in the old mansion and have not been touched. Originally, these things were all Huixian's, and I, a woman who came out of the cabinet, naturally couldn't fight that idea, but now that the Lu family has arrived in this field, I can only live with my mother's family. Ruan Huizhen said as she wiped her tears with a handkerchief. The ginger juice on the veil smoked the eyes hurt. Soon he became red, and he kept shedding tears.
Mrs. Lu said excitedly, "Are you serious, you want to use the Ruan family's things to help the Lu family tide over the difficulties?" ”
Ruan Huizhen nodded with difficulty.
"Huizhen, I, I don't know what to say, it's our Lu family who can't stand you." Mrs. Lu also cried excitedly. originally thought that it had reached a desperate situation, but who would have thought that the willows would be bright.
Ruan Huizhen nodded hard, "It's just that I can't live with the Ruan family." When my father and mother left, they asked me to keep it well. ”
Mrs. Lu said, "Huizhen, our Lu family owes you, if Canwen comes back in the future, let him repay it twice." ”
"Mother." Ruan Huizhen looked at the old lady movingly, and stopped talking a few times in her eyes.
Mrs. Lu was not confused, seeing Ruan Huizhen's expression, she naturally had something to say, so she said, "If you have anything, just say it, we are a family, what else is not easy to say?" ”
Originally, this daughter-in-law depended on her for her life, and she already liked it very much. Now seeing that she is willing to take out her mother's things to keep the Lu family's ancestral home, which has fulfilled her wishes, she naturally prefers this daughter-in-law in her heart.
Ruan Huizhen was embarrassed, "It's just that this thing belongs to Huixian after all, if he suddenly comes back and doesn't see anything, come and ask me, I can't speak." So my idea is that when the time comes, this money will be the money that Huixian will pay for the Lu family's ancestral house. Just temporarily changed the deed to Huixian's name, and in the future, Canwen came back, gave the money to Huixian, and then asked Huixian to return the deed to the Lu family. My mother also knows what Huixian is like, and he will definitely listen to me. ”
"This ......" When Mrs. Lu heard that the deed was going to be changed to Ruan Huixian's name, she was a little reluctant in her heart. What's the difference between this and selling a house? Isn't it still a different person? And Ruan Huixian, this child looked good when he was a child, but he hasn't seen him all these years, and he doesn't know what he has become. What if the time comes to see the big mansion of the Lu family.
After all, it's still an outsider, separated by a layer.
Mrs. Lu was a little worried in her heart, but she still felt reluctant.
She looked at Ruan Huizhen, "Can't you borrow it?" ”
"Mother, I can't help it, after all, I am the daughter of the pavilion, and it is not good to take the Ruan family's things, if I lend them out like this, I really have no face to see Huixian again in the future." And even if it's borrowing, you have to have a mortgage or something. Mother, don't you still believe me? Compared to Uncle Lu, can't you still trust me? ”
Mrs. Lu said in her heart, it's not that I don't believe you, I can't trust your brother.
Mrs. Lu naturally wouldn't say this and hurt her daughter-in-law's heart.
But thinking of the daughter-in-law's later sentence, it really makes sense, the daughter-in-law is always much more reliable than Lu Laosan's brute.
She tentatively asked, "Or, the deed doesn't write Huixian's name, but your name?" You are also surnamed Nguyen. Huixian doesn't believe in our Lu family, but he has to believe in you, my sister. ”
After all, Mrs. Lu has also been in a big house, and she is not shrewd in her heart. After thinking about it, I naturally think that this method is still the best. After all, in her heart, her daughter-in-law is a member of the Lu family, and this matter will not change. This house is written on the daughter-in-law's name, and it will never become an outsider.
In this way, there will be no worries about the house being given to the Ruan family in the future.
When Ruan Huizhen heard this, she held back the joy in her heart, and deliberately made a look of embarrassment on her face, and she was entangled.
Mrs. Lu said, "If it really doesn't work, I won't force it." You can't let Huixian complain about you in the future. ”
"Mother, look at what you said. We are a family, and I always go to the landing family. Okay, then write my name, and I'll talk to Huixian in the future. Anyway, Canwen has the money, and if I return the money to Huixian, I will change the name of this house to Canwen. When the time comes, no one owes anyone. ”
"Hey, this is good, this is good." Mrs. Lu's heart opened up now.
Ruan Huizhen said again, "Then we still have to make a contract at that time, this is my mother's dowry, something that belongs to me, not the Lu family." Otherwise, Huixian will have a problem with me in the future. lest he come back and complain that I took my mother's things to my mother-in-law's family. Our Lu family is a big family, so we can't be misunderstood. ”
Hearing that Ruan Huizhen was going to make a contract, Mrs. Lu was still a little hesitant, but listening to what she said, plus saying that she was pulling her mother's things to supplement the Lu family, this matter spread out, it was indeed a poke in the backbone, and the reputation was too ugly. He could only nod, "Okay, I can do this master." ”
When Ruan Huizhen heard this, her face was relaxed, "This big matter of our family can be regarded as settled, mother, then I will go back to my mother's house later, and take the things to exchange for the ocean and come back." lest Uncle Lu come to make trouble tomorrow. ”
Mrs. Lu was more anxious than her, and hurriedly said, "Okay, you go, go and come back quickly." Be careful on the road. ”
Although using the Ruan family as an excuse, Ruan Huizhen still took the opportunity to go back to the Ruan family's old house.
After Ruan Huizhen came here, she never returned to Ruan's house, and her impression of the old mansion still came from the memory of the original owner.
The Ruan family was also a decent family in Lujia Town at the beginning, and the two elders of the Ruan family were both literate people, but at this time, the people who engaged in culture were a little pedantic and did not understand Cebu, so the Ruan family now has only one house left.
When I opened the door of the yard, I found that it was neatly cleaned up, and there was no sign of dilapidation at all. Obviously, when the original owner was there, he often came back to take care of the old house. After all, this is her maiden home, and her younger brother Ruan Huixian left home at a young age and may come back one day.
This was the hope of the original Nguyen Hoi Jin.
The original owner, Ruan Huizhen, has always felt that the reason why her husband doesn't like her may be that she dislikes that she is an orphan and has no mother's family. In her mind, there is no avant-garde idea of arranged marriage or love. She thinks that as long as you become a husband and wife, you will have feelings.
It can only be said that the original owner Ruan Huizhen is a simple and virtuous person, she overestimated a man's respect for his wife, and overestimated the constraints of her parents' words on a man.
After walking around the house, I naturally didn't find anything. But even if she found out, Ruan Huizhen didn't plan to use it. After all, this is the original owner's maiden family, not hers. And the original owner loves his younger brother Ruan Huixian very much, and he will not appropriate what belongs to him.
Finally, I went back to the room where I was staying, and it was empty. Ruan Huizhen entered the space and took out the century-old ginseng that had been dried.
The three sticks of ginseng are longer than chopsticks, and if you look at the other small ginsengs, they have also grown very large.
Ruan Huizhen pondered that if the silver sold was not enough for three thousand oceans, he would have to continue to sell the little ginseng inside. But according to her thoughts, the 100-year-old ginseng should be able to sell for this price. After all, it is easy to get money, but the best is hard to find. It's a priceless thing.
After wrapping the ginseng in a tattered cloth, Ruan Huizhen dragged her tired feet and left Ruan's house slowly.
Feeling that her little feet were a little overwhelmed, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh. If this is the previous body, go up the mountain to catch birds and go down to the water to catch fish, and you will not feel tired after traveling several miles a day. Small-footed woman, it's so pitiful.
In faraway Shanghai, a young man in a robe has just received a recent payment from the newspaper. Hurried back to the small apartment he rented.
Before going up the stairs, a beautiful woman in a plain cheongsam opened the door. Seeing that the man was back, the woman smiled and said, "Canwen, you're back, and just after you made a meal, I saw you coming back from outside." ”
Lu Canwen smiled slightly, and Sven's face had a somewhat satisfied look. "I've got my money back. There are twenty oceans. "In terms of the manuscript fee standard at this time, Lu Canwen's manuscript fee is obviously very considerable.
In the past few months, because the previous donations, plus some special manuscripts printed, have to rely on their own expenses, so the money is very poor. This Chinese New Year's Eve is very simple. Now that he finally has money, Lu Canwen is also relieved.
"Xiuran, I'll take out a few pieces of ocean later, and you can send them back to your hometown quickly. It's been a long time since I've sent money back, and I don't know how I'm doing back home. ”
When Lin Xiuran heard this, the smile on her face paused, and she smiled gently for a moment, "Okay, I'll go later." ”
Lu Canwen saw Lin Xiuran's generous expression, with a little guilt on his face, "I'm sorry, Xiuran." That's my mother, after all. ”
"What do you think, that's my mother too." Just thinking of another person, Lin Xiuran still had a little gloom in his eyes. That person, even if they deliberately didn't mention it, couldn't ignore her existence.
Lu Canwen is a man in the end, not as careful as a woman, he didn't care about the money on the table, but looked at the weather outside the window. Although the Lantern Festival has passed, it is still a little cold, "Xiuran, I have thought about it, when the weather is warm, I will go back to my hometown and pick up my mother and them." This year, we will also ease up a little bit financially, and when the time comes, we will rent a house nearby for them to live with. "He hasn't been home for a few years, and he's not worried. It's just a busy job, plus a psychological resistance to coming home, so I haven't gone back. But his mother is already old, and he is the only son, and he is not at ease. So he was going to go back and sell the family's house and take his mother over to take care of him, so that he could save his worries.
Hearing Lu Canwen's plans, Lin Xiuran had a little hesitation on her face. The peaceful life in the past few years has made her feel very satisfied, and she can't help but be a little resistant to the people who suddenly want to appear in her life. But she admires Lu Canwen and will not quarrel with him about these things. Besides, she is also confident that she is definitely not worse than that person.
She nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I won't go out these days, just prepare at home, and wait for someone to come over and move in directly." ”
