When Lu Xingzhi was still young, the Lu Family's living conditions weren't good. At that time, Father Lu and Father Lu were still receiving fixed salaries. Because the two brothers relied on each other since they were young, they had to live a tough life in order to repay their debts.
Later on, Second Uncle Lu resigned and went into business. At that time, the family wasn't rich, and Second Uncle Lu left Lu Xiaoxiao at Eldest Brother's house to take care of and discipline her.
Right after Second Uncle Lu left, the Li Family heard the news and came over. In private, Mother Lu said that how could she help raise someone else's daughter? She even scolded Mother Lu for being silly and treating her niece like her own daughter! With that kind of money, why didn't she use it to help her brothers and sisters-in-law?
These words weren't said by Mother Lu's mother, but by Mother Lu's two sisters-in-law. They thought that they were her sisters-in-law and came to persuade her. When they couldn't persuade her, they went back to persuade their husbands and mothers-in-law.
Because Mother Lu ignored their words and didn't use much money to help her family, the Li Family wasn't willing to visit the Lu Family for a few years.
Later on, Lu Yuqing got chickenpox. However, because she played too close to her siblings, she passed it to Lu Xingzhi and Lu Xiaoxiao. Three children in the family fell sick, and Mother Lu was anxious. Because the three children had a high fever, Mother Lu wanted to send them to the county hospital for treatment. As the family didn't have money, Mother Lu went back to her parents' house to borrow money. However, her brothers and sisters-in-law said that they didn't have money and didn't lend her a single cent. They even said that which family didn't get chickenpox? If they couldn't survive because of chickenpox, it meant that the child was dead.
Right after the Li Family refused to lend money to Mother Lu, they bought a brand new bicycle for the family. It was so grand that even Mother Lu, who was in town, heard the news.
Ever since then, Mother Lu never returned to her parents' house. She didn't skip on the New Year's gifts every year, but she gave them whatever others gave her. After giving them, she turned around and left without even entering the house.
For so many years, no one from the Li Family had visited the Lu Family, and the two families only maintained what little contact they had on the surface.
It wasn't until later that Father Lu and Mother Lu's jobs were arranged. The couple became teachers that everyone envied and respected. Second Uncle Lu also became successful in business. After earning his first bucket of gold, he went back to his hometown and built two magnificent villas for his eldest brother and him. He also built a factory and became a big boss. After that, the Li family shamelessly stuck to them again.
But what was Mother Lu's temperament?
Back then, when I needed your help, you rejected me. Now, I don't need your help anymore.
All these years, Mother Lu and her family had remained the same. No matter how rich the Lu family was now, Mother Lu still sent back New Year's gifts in the same way as ordinary people.
Because of this, the two sisters-in-law of the Li family often criticized Mother Lu for being stingy behind her back.
Even if Mother Lu knew, she pretended not to know. She still maintained her lukewarm relationship with her family. Every year, on the second day of the New Year, when her married daughter returned to her parents' house, she didn't go back.
Although in the past, when the Lu Family was poor, no one would come to town to ask her to go back, nor did they look forward to her going back. Later on, when the Lu Family became rich and the Li Family came to ask her to go back, she was never tempted.
