Chapter 162 – Rescuing the Transparent High-Ranking Official (part 17)

After Li Su’s family moved to the county town, life gradually entered a normal state.
Qiao Zhi was not yet old enough to go to elementary school, so Li Su sent him to a pre-school.
Xuechen was sent to a nursery.
In the end, only Madam Qiao was left, but Li Su was still worried. 

Madam Qiao was used to the old house in the countryside, so even if she couldn’t see, it didn’t affect her actions.
But, this was a new environment.
Madam Qiao wasn’t familiar with everything, so she didn’t dare to move.
Although she could listen to the radio to relieve her boredom, she couldn’t just sit there the whole day without moving! 

When Li Su saw this, she wanted to invite someone to take care of Madam Qiao.
The county primary school had more students and she had more work.
It paid great attention to teaching quality and performance, so Li Su didn’t have as much time as before.
It was better to ask someone to come in. 

It was just that Li Su couldn’t find a suitable candidate for a while. 

After thinking about it, Li Su remembered the auntie whose son worked in the grain and oil store she visited before.
She was a local, so she may know some suitable candidates. 

Li Su told Madam Qiao that she was going to the grain and oil store.
She then found the auntie. 

“You want someone to take care of your mother-in-law?” The auntie’s surname was Fang, and she was warm-hearted. 

“Yes, I have transferred to the county elementary school to teach.
My children are easy to handle.
I can send them to the pre-school and nursery, and pick them up when the time comes.
My mother-in-law can’t see, so if I leave her at home alone, I will worry.
Therefore, I thought of finding someone to take care of my mother-in-law.
I don’t need them to do anything else.
I will prepare three meals.
They just need to take care of my mother-in-law and talk to her.
If they have time to go out with her, then it would be even better.
If I am too busy, it would be good if they could help me pick up the child.
I will pay them ten yuan a month.
I don’t know anyone else in the county, just you, auntie.
You are a warm-hearted person, so I can rest assured if you introduce a person!” Li Su said with a smile. 

Auntie Fang was a little moved when she heard Li Su’s words.
Ten yuan a month wasn’t a bad amount.
Besides, it didn’t sound like a tiring job.
“Big sister, what do you think about me?” 

“You? Of course you’re fine! But, auntie, don’t you have to look after your grandchildren?” Li Su was a little puzzled.
Auntie Fang didn’t look like she lacked money.

Auntie Fang sighed and pulled Li Su out of the oil and grain store.
“You don’t know this, but I used to help my second daughter-in-law with her grandson.
My eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law weren’t happy and felt like I was playing favourites.
They came here and made trouble.
In a fit of rage, I ended up not doing it for any of them.
But, without my grandson, I am quite bored at home.
I just want to find something to do.
Besides, I can see it clearly.
No matter how filial my son is, once he gets married, his filial piety will be less.
I still need to save more money for retirement.
Girl, just tell me, is it okay?” 

“Okay!” said Li Su with a smile.
“As long as you don’t mind it, auntie.
I’ll be happy.”  

“We might as well do this now.
Take me to your place so I can get acquainted with the environment,” Auntie Fang said with a smile. 

Li Su smiled and took Auntie Fang back home.
Auntie Fang and Madam Qiao hit it off and were very compatible.
Madam Qiao didn’t express any objections to Li Su’s behaviour of paying people.
Maybe she was actually afraid.
After all, it was a strange place and a strange environment. 

Li Su took Auntie Fang to the pre-school and the nursery to show her the way.
Auntie Fang fell in love with Qiao Zhi and Xuechen as soon as she saw them, especially Xuechen.
She didn’t let go of Xuechen.
“Oh, is this your daughter? She’s really likeable!” 

Li Su smiled.
Compared to her, Xuechen was obviously more lovable.
Among the people she had met, there was nobody who disliked Xuechen.
In the nursery, Xuechen was the one who was liked the most by the aunties.
She was held by the aunties every day, so she was the cleanest and most beautiful one in the nursery. 

Over there, Lu Wei and Xue Gang saw that Li Su had almost settled in, so they set off to return. 

On the way, Lu Wei and Xue Gang discussed the matter of helping Li Su’s work transfer.
They wouldn’t talk about it publicly.  

Li Shu waited at the door with her daughter in her arms since she knew that Lu Wei would be returning today. 

Lu Wei got out of the car.
When he saw this, he frowned, dissatisfied.
“Why are you standing here holding Mingzhu? What if you catch a cold?” 

Li Shu disagreed.
“Weren’t you coming back today? Mingzhu missed her father.” She then walked over to Lu Wei and handed Mingzhu to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei touched his daughter’s hand, which was not covered.
It was a little cold, so he hugged his daughter in dissatisfaction.
“Hurry in.” 

However, Li Shu saw Xue Gang and his son alight the car.
“Big brother Xue, Chao’an, you have returned as well.
Chao’an, do you want to see your younger sister? She is very pretty!” 

Xue Chao’an thought about it for a while, and followed.
After he entered the room, he leaned on Uncle Lu and looked at Mingzhu.
He was a little disappointed.
She was pretty? 

Xue Gang was afraid that his son would say something unpleasant, so he quickly hugged his son.
“Old Lu, our family is also waiting.
We will head back first.
We can talk later.” 

He took Xue Chao’an and left. 

After leaving the gate of the Lu house, Xue Chao’an said, “Dad, why didn’t you let me speak just now? Younger sister Mingzhu is not as pretty as younger sister Xuechen.” 

Xue Gang rolled his eyes.
In fact, he also thought that Mingzhu wasn’t as pretty as Xuechen, but… “Son, you must learn that some things aren’t appropriate to say in some situations.” 

Xue Chao’an understood this point.
“I understand.
Women would get jealous, right?” 

Xue Gang smiled and said, “My son is awesome!” 

In the Lu family, Li Shu was still wondering.
“Didn’t Chao’an like Mingzhu a lot before?” Ever since Lu Mingzhu was born, Li Shu had been looking for a good match.
She finally chose Xue Chao’an to be her son-in-law.
Li Shu thought it would be good to let Xue Chao’an come to the Lu family to play more so they could be childhood sweethearts. 

Lu Wei was expressionless.
It wasn’t that he didn’t know of Li Shu’s plan, but he just didn’t take it seriously.
How old was Mingzhu? The future would take its course.
Mingzhu was his daughter, why should he worry if nobody wanted her? If nobody wanted her, then he would be happy to support her for the rest of his life.

“By the way, where did you go to play this time? You were gone for a while.
I hoped you and Mingzhu could spend more time together, but you weren’t willing,” Li Shu complained. 

Lu Wei frowned.
“Mingzhu’s health isn’t good.
She is so small.
How could I take her out of the house?” 

Seeing that nobody was around, Li Shu leaned close to Lu Wei and said, “Old Lu, I don’t believe you don’t know what I am thinking.
In the whole compound, I took a fancy to Chao’an.
What do you think of Chao’an? This child has been brought up well and our two families are considered a good match.
I thought of letting the two children have more contact with each other and slowly develop their feelings.” 

Lu Wei frowned.
“Mingzhu is still young.
We can talk about this later.” 

Li Shu didn’t care either.
Since her daughter was born, she had backing and was no longer as cautious as before.
“By the way, mother asked you to come over for dinner in the evening and said that she had something to tell you.” 

Lu Wei got a little impatient.
“I have something else to do at night.
Go back by yourself!” Just as his daughter was about to go to sleep, Lu Wei got up and carried his daughter upstairs. 

“My parents kindly invited you to dinner.
What is the meaning of this?” Li Shu said loudly. 

Lu Mingzhu, who was about to fall asleep, was startled by the sudden sound.
She cried out like a small kitten. 

Lu Wei couldn’t help but get angry, but he was afraid of scaring his daughter.
When the nanny came over, he quickly handed his daughter to her.
“Mingzhu is sleepy.
Take her upstairs to sleep!” 

When the nanny took his daughter away, he turned around and looked at Li Shu coldly.
“Is it really just for a meal? Is it about your eldest brother causing trouble again and wants me to clean up after him? Can you guys stop?!”

Li Shu’s expression was a little unnatural, but she quickly became assertive.
“Didn’t you say it yourself? Relatives should help each other.” 

“Hmph.” Lu Wei snorted coldly.
He didn’t want to argue with Li Shu any longer. 

Li Shu thought that Lu Wei was showing weakness, so she continued.
“As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half their child.
What is wrong with my parents asking you for help? They’re not outsiders!” 

Lu Wei gave Li Shu a cold look.
“I don’t want to argue with you any more about this issue.
You tell mother-in-law and father-in-law that eldest brother-in-law caused this mess himself so he should clean it up himself.
I have already done enough.
In the future, the Li family’s affairs have nothing to do with me.” 

Li Shu suddenly panicked.
“No, you can’t ignore eldest brother’s matters.” Perhaps she knew that her previous attitude was too tough.
Li Shu said softly, “No matter what, he is my eldest brother and Mingzhu’s uncle.
You can’t let Mingzhu have an uncle who is in prison! Eldest brother is still at the police station, so he has to be released first! He really knows he was in the wrong this time.” 

“Mingzhu’s uncle? Maybe I should cut off this relative for Mingzhu’s sake so they won’t drag Mingzhu down!” 

Li Shu was stunned when she saw that Lu Wei didn’t seem to be joking.
She never thought that Lu Wei would treat her like this, especially after giving birth to Mingzhu.
Mingzhu, as the name suggested, was the jewel in the entire Lu family.
Since she had Mingzhu, she had nothing to be afraid of anymore.
Her position in the Lu family was very stable. 

But now Lu Wei said such words! Li Shu couldn’t react for a while. 

Lu Wei turned around and went upstairs.
At the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, he saw Mother Lu.
Mother Lu gestured to him, and they went into the study to speak. 

“What is going on?” Mother Lu knew her son very well.
In fact, she had known that Li Shu had always been like this, but knew how to hide it before.
Since Li Shu gave birth to Mingzhu, she had become more daring because she felt supported.
It was just that Lu Wei could tolerate it before, but now he couldn’t. 

Lu Wei respected and trusted Mother Lu a lot.
His father left early on, and his mother raised 5 children safely and cultivated them to be adults.
There was no doubt about Mother Lu’s ability and wisdom in life.
