Chapter 293: Chapter 294 The Lu Family Divides

Brother Lu caught his wife’s gaze, looked at his mother with a pained expression, "Mom, let’s just follow what you suggested and divide the household."

"Lu Laoer is getting married too, and it’s inevitable there will be some friction with two families living under one roof; we might as well split up the household today."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu was about to explode, "As long as I’m here, don’t even think about splitting up the household."

Brother Lu’s face was full of embarrassment, "Mom, we’re all grown up, we can definitely split up the household.

"You and Dad also separated from Grandma early on."

Mrs. Lu’s eyebrows bristled, "We split up back then because your grandma was not nice to us.

Eldest son, do you think I was not good to you?"

Brother Lu wanted to shake his head, but when he caught his wife’s gaze, he wilted and said nothing.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that her chest hurt.

Lu Daya’s eyes flickered and she spoke out, "Mom, let’s just split up the household, we’re all adults now, it’s time to honor you.

After we divide, each of us will give you some spending money, then you won’t have to do anything and can just take the money and chat."

When Mrs. Lu heard about getting money, a smile immediately bloomed on her face, it wasn’t a bad idea.

Eldest Sister-in-law Lu’s complexion changed drastically upon hearing this, "Daya, you make it sound so easy, you’re all set with food and drink for just yourself, and whatever money you make can look after you.

But your brother has a wife and a child to support, we don’t have money to give Mom."

Second Brother Lu had no objections on the side, "I agree to give Mom some money, it wasn’t easy for Mom to raise us, now that we’re grown up, we ought to show our filial piety."

Mrs. Lu rarely heard her second son say something so heartfelt and looked at him with a meaningful glance.

However, Brother Lu was furious and glared at Lu Laoer, "Lu Laoer, you say it as if it’s so simple, you don’t have kids to support, of course you can spare the money."

Lu Daya couldn’t stand it any longer, "Brother, are you saying you don’t want to honor Mom? Normally, you’re the one closest to home.

Now it comes to money, and suddenly you’re reluctant. You’re working in the food factory and earn a good salary each month.

We have food at home, and a place to live, how much can you possibly spend in a month, surely you can save up ten yuan?

If you give Mom five yuan a month, how could it not be enough?"

Lu Daya’s cold voice rang out.

Brother Lu was silenced on the spot, and Eldest Sister-in-law Lu glared at Lu Daya with a face full of resentment.

"Just do as Daya said, as long as you all agree, then we’ll split the household," Mrs. Lu said cheerfully. If each family gave her five yuan a month, that would be fifteen.

She could make that amount last a year if she was careful.

Brother Lu suddenly lost his resolve and turned to look at his wife.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu’s heart went cold. This was her precious child she had always doted on from a young age.

He had forgotten her after getting married.

Well, if the child wasn’t on the same page with her, there was no use trying to keep him.

"What do you think? Do you want to split the household or not?" Mrs. Lu said indifferently.

Eldest Sister-in-law Lu hesitated, "Let’s split."

After the division, she could get a job too, and the money she earned would all be hers.

That was certainly better than giving it to this old lady.

Hearing his wife say this, Brother Lu straightened up and with a protruding neck, followed, "Then let’s split."

"Fine," Mrs. Lu’s eyes flashed with a trace of loss, but she quickly made a decision, "Daya, go call the village chief here and tell him our family wants to split the household."

Upon hearing this, Lu Daya stood up and ran towards Xu Ying’s house.

Xu Ying had just finished working in the fields and was surprised to see Lu Daya, "Congratulations, you’re going to be a formal teacher from now on."

Lu Daya’s face was filled with joy, "It’s all thanks to you, without you I wouldn’t be where I am today.

"

"Yingying, is your dad at home? My mom asked me to call your dad over; our family is splitting up!"

Lu Daya mentioned the separation, her face beaming with joy.

She knew her second brother ran a business on the side, but living in the same house with Brother Lu and that crowd, even if Second Brother Lu made money, he had to hide it and couldn’t enjoy it.

Now that they were splitting up, things would be much better.

Second Brother Lu could spend his money however he wanted.

And her own salary—when she first started working, Xu Ying had told her to be smart about it.

So over this past year, she had also secretly saved up a fair bit of money.

If the family split up, she would be able to spend money as she pleased.

However, considering her personality, she wouldn’t squander it, but at least she could live better than before.

Mrs. Lu, despite being wary of her having a job, didn’t look down on her as much as before, but still controlled her quite tightly, interrogating her whenever she wanted to buy something.

Once the family was split, she would be free.

Xu Ying was somewhat surprised to hear this but thought the separation was indeed a good thing. Mrs. Lu and Brother Lu were both too selfish.

Staying with them would only have a negative influence on Lu Daya.

"Dad, Sister Daya is looking for you," Xu Ying called out.

Mr. Xu put down his pen and came out the door, looking at Lu Daya with a surprised expression.

"Daya, what do you need me for?"

"Uncle Team-Leader, my mom wants to split the family and she’s asking you to come over a moment."

At these words, Mr. Xu was stunned.

Family separations were uncommon these days; usually, as long as the elderly were around, they absolutely would not allow the children to split the family.

It must be due to some internal conflict, and he knew Mrs. Lu’s personality all too well. She’d rather keep sucking the blood out of her children than split the family; this was not something someone like her would usually do.

Mr. Xu followed Lu Daya back home and, sure enough, it was as said. Lu Sister-in-law was indeed not the type to get up early without profit.

She certainly had a plan.

"Sister-in-law, your Second Brother Lu isn’t even married yet, isn’t it not nice to split the family now?" Mr. Xu said.

Mrs. Lu immediately became displeased: "Second Brother Lu wants to split on his own, I can’t stop him."

She was actually eager to get on with the separation; it would save her a sum for the dowry and the cost of organizing a wedding feast.

Mr. Xu choked on his words, wanting to gain some advantage for Lu Laoer, but since Lu Laoer was not competing nor demanding, he couldn’t interfere too much.

At the Lu Family, Mrs. Lu ruled the roost, and Mr. Lu was invisible; so the separation went smoothly.

Lu Daya was going to teach in town and would be assigned a dormitory when she arrived, planning to move out the next day.

Mrs. Lu wouldn’t provide a place for her children to live; they had to pay rent if they wanted to stay—a month for two yuan.

Brother Lu didn’t want to pay, and Second Brother Lu didn’t want to live with his mother either.

Once both her sons had moved out, Mrs. Lu started cursing and swearing.

Every single one was avoiding filial duties, seeming only too eager to keep her at arm’s length.

"Ah, my goodness, what sins have I committed to give birth to two unfilial sons?

Each one of them doesn’t want to stay near me, just wants to get as far away as possible." Mrs. Lu was furious, the children would rather let others profit.

They wouldn’t even rent from her; it was truly cruel.

Mr. Lu watched his wife show her rare assertiveness: "As their mother, you even charge your children rent, you’ve hurt their hearts; how can they possibly want to continue living here."

As Mr. Lu finished speaking, he received several slaps from his wife, along with a few scratches.
