Chapter 251 is no easy task.
Chapter 251 is no easy task.
The Lu family members share a common idea.
If there are problems that cannot be solved, you can go to Lu Yuanqing.
So, Lu Yuanqing, seeing that Lu Yuanbo was also there, blurted out Cheng Xia's rejection of him and asked Lu Mingdong what would happen next.
Lu Yuanqing quickly moved away.
puff!
"What? Xiao Dong, you like Xia Xia?" Lu Yuanbo spat out the sip of water he had just taken.
"What's going on! Xiao Dong, Xia Xia is looking for a son-in-law to live with her family. You don't mean you want to become a live-in son-in-law, do you?!"
For a moment, Lu Yuanbo didn't know whether he should be shocked that Lu Mingdong liked Cheng Xia, or shocked that his perfectly good son would actually think of becoming a live-in son-in-law.
There's something about this that wouldn't shock people if you told them.
Lu Yuanbo said he almost spat out his water at Lu Yuanqing, and 80% of the blame should be placed on Lu Mingdong.
"Fourth Uncle, I know Cheng Xia wants to become a son-in-law, and I don't mind going to her home. Third Uncle has also agreed." Lu Mingdong has always been straightforward. What he says is either true or false, and he doesn't feel there's anything wrong with it.
Lu Yuanqing listened to his answer to the second question but ignored the first one. Then, thinking of something, he smiled.
"I agree!" Meeting Lu Yuanbo's questioning gaze, Lu Yuanqing nodded in acknowledgment.
Lu Yuanbo abruptly stood up from his stool, staring at Lu Yuanqing in disbelief. His lips moved, as if he had rehearsed what he wanted to say several times in his mind, before finally saying, "No, how can Xiao Dong go..."
His family was on good terms with the Cheng family, and he also approved of Cheng Xia's character, so he couldn't bring himself to say anything unpleasant.
However, Lu Mingdong wanted to become a live-in son-in-law in the Cheng family, and he was the first to object.
Lu Yuanqing glanced at him indifferently and said, "Xie Qianyu asked you to come to her door, will you agree?"
"Of course not!"
It was Lu Yuanbo's words spoken without a second thought.
Lu Yuanqing and Lu Mingdong looked at him in surprise.
After all, they could clearly see Lu Yuanbo's affection and concern for Xie Qianyu.
Leaving aside other material assistance, just considering Xie Long's near-death experience and subsequent recovery, even though he is still unable to get out of bed, it's clear how much effort Lu Yuanbo put into saving him.
Anyone with eyesight who has seen Lu Yuanbo's efforts over this period would not say that he treated Xie Qianyu badly.
Although he had been secretly helping Xie Qianyu and the others, as a member of the Lu family, he couldn't keep it a secret.
Lu Yuanqing and Lu Mingdong were naturally surprised.
He was completely devoted to Xie Qianyu, yet he was unwilling to become a son-in-law of the Xie family.
Lu Yuanbo didn't understand their surprise at all, and instead said confidently, "I don't want to be a live-in son-in-law. That's something only incompetent men would want to do, and Qianyu wouldn't let me do it anyway."
Lu Yuanqing looked at him with amusement, "Fine, if you don't agree, Xie Qianyu won't make things difficult for you."
"However, I promised Xiao Dong."
Lu Mingdong blinked and silently watched Lu Yuanbo's reaction.
"No, brother, why?! Xiao Dong is perfectly fine, such a good young man, why would he be so foolish as to become a live-in son-in-law?! What will people say about him? What will they say about our family?!" Lu Yuanbo's eyes were red with anxiety.
Because he clearly understood that with Lu Yuanqing backing him up, no one could stop Lu Mingdong.
Lu Yuanqing spread his hands, looking innocent, and said, "I didn't do anything wrong!" He was just respecting the decisions of everyone in his family.
Lu Yuanbo was so angry he almost jumped out of his skin.
At this moment, Lu Yuanqing continued innocently, "I also promised you that I would have a 'secret crush' on Wu Qianyu!"
Lu Yuanbo choked.
The eldest brother is not the second brother; they are about the same.
No one's feelings made Lu Yuanqing's life easy.
To put it dramatically, Lu Yuanqing still cares about Lu Yuanhuan's dramatic marriage!
None of them are easy to deal with.
Now look what's happened! He's fallen for Xie Qianyu, and she's someone everyone in the village doesn't care about.
Why not just live a peaceful life? He insists on becoming a live-in son-in-law.
Did you think this was from later times? Does the reputation of a live-in son-in-law sound good?
How could Lu Yuanqing not care?
He just didn't say it.
Seeing his beloved son, whom he had raised with such care, having such an unsuccessful love life, he was about to explode with anger.
Now Lu Yuanbo still has the nerve to say in front of him that he indulged Lu Mingdong and didn't know how to stop him.
Lu Yuanqing simply chuckled in response.
Lu Yuanbo: "..."
"Brother, that's not what I meant!"
"Hehe!!!" Lu Yuanqing gave him a look.
Lu Mingdong pursed his lips.
Suddenly I realize they really are a handful!
Lu Yuanqing: "You should stay out of this. You should focus more on your relationship with Xie Qianyu! It's no use just trying to be helpful all the time."
"Be a man, be decisive. Don't hesitate and be afraid of rejection. If you really like someone, confess. If they say yes, you'll be happy. If they don't, come home, think it over carefully, and then give up. Don't make a big deal out of a relationship. Forget the past and start over."
Lu Yuanbo: "..."
He hasn't thought that far ahead yet!
Therefore, his third brother was right to scold him; he had indeed hesitated too much on this matter.
This is nothing like him.
After thinking it through, Lu Yuanbo said seriously, "I understand, Third Brother. Give me some time, and I will think it over carefully. Once I've figured it out, I won't hesitate like this anymore. I will make a decision as soon as possible so you won't have to worry about me anymore!"
Lu Yuanqing was pleased that he thought that way.
Sometimes Lu Yuanqing also felt quite helpless.
He wasn't troubled by emotions in his past life, and he can say the same in this one.
But why are all my kids' love lives so turbulent?
After dismissing Lu Yuanbo, Lu Yuanqing looked at Lu Mingdong, who had remained silent.
Lu Yuanqing shook his head helplessly and said, "Tell me! What do you plan to do after you find out Cheng Xia won't agree?"
Lu Mingdong looked up at him and honestly said, "I don't know either!"
"Then forget it?"
Lu Yuanqing asked tentatively.
It's clear that even though he agreed to Lu Mingdong's request, he still didn't quite agree with his decision.
But his opposition wasn't obvious.
Knowing his place in the hearts of his children and understanding how much his words could influence them, Lu Yuanqing wouldn't speak out easily.
Lu Mingdong relaxed, sat down next to him, shook his head, and said, "I don't want to give up!"
Lu Yuanqing sighed silently again, "It's just a dream, isn't it? You don't like it, do you?"
“I used to think it didn’t matter. I didn’t care what decisions I made. I just did what I thought.” Lu Mingdong didn’t look at him. He looked into the distance through the gate.
Limited by the field of vision, the scenery I saw was nothing more than ordinary rural scenery that I would not normally pay attention to.
