Chapter 128 Chance of Promotion
Father Lu was happy today and started drinking wine at the dinner table: "Abin, come and have a drink with me."
Lu Bin was also happy. When Lu's father came back from the black market, his job was stable: "Dad, I'll give you a toast. Congratulations on getting what you wanted."
Wei Ni and Wei Xin looked at the happy two people at a loss, not understanding what the happy event was.
Wei Ni: "Lao Lu, are you and your son happy?"
Father Lu didn't hide it and said directly: "I'm going to be promoted. Do you think it's a happy event?"
Wei Ni:? ?
"Didn't you just get a new position? Why did you get promoted again?"
"Of course I need the help of a noble person to get promoted, and the position is in my previous department."
Wei Ni: "What a great event. Who can help you? Should we invite someone home for dinner?"
Father Lu paused: "No, she doesn't like this. We have a good relationship, so it's natural for her to help me."
As a woman, Wei Ni's sixth sense became alert. She thought about what Wei Xin had overheard before. Could it be that she was Lao Lu's ex-wife?
She buried her head in her meal, not daring to let the two of them notice her expression. Normally she wasn't so alert, but when her family was in crisis, her brain suddenly became brighter.
"That's so inappropriate. Even if we have a good relationship, we have to say thank you, otherwise who would we be?"
Father Lu frowned, not liking that Wei Ni didn't listen to him: "If I say no, I won't use it. Why do you talk so much?"
Wei Ni's eyes turned red at Father Lu's tone and she stopped talking.
When mother and daughter went outside to wash dishes, Wei Xin quietly asked Wei Ni: "Mom, is this person Uncle Lu's ex-wife?"
Wei Ni looked at the bowl in front of her and felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She had been working as a cow and a horse at home for so many years, and she had been completely obedient to the father and son. Apart from not giving him a promotion in the Lu family, she worked hard and never complained. Even the daughter she brought with her Following her, she took care of the Lu family, father and son, from elementary school.
She hates the father and son now, but it is impossible for her to divorce. Her ex-husband is dead. If she remarries with her daughter, it will be a second marriage. If she is kicked out by the Lu family and his son, it will be a third marriage. She is older now. Where can I find it? Got someone to want her.
She had no roots here anymore, and was kicked away by Father Lu. She couldn't even go back to her hometown to complain, and she didn't have a penny on her. Over the years, Father Lu only gave a little of his money for household use, and he kept the rest by himself. Wei Xin went to work, but Wei Xin's salary was also handed over to Lu's father. Just because Lu's father said that he had raised Wei Xin all these years, Wei Ni had no money to support Wei Xin.
The two of them have become accustomed to listening to Father Lu's words over the years, and they don't even know they are being squeezed by him.
"You wash the dishes here and I'll go out."
She was unwilling to give in. Shuyuan herself said that day that she would not return to the Lu family, so why did she still help Lu's father? She must ask clearly this time.
"Cheng Xu, someone is looking for you."
Just after class, she heard someone calling her. She came to the school gate and saw an unexpected person. Why did Wei Ni come to find her?
"Did you find the wrong person?"
Wei Ni shook her head. She was looking for Cheng Xu. Looking for Shuyuan would make her feel inferior. Moreover, she also understood what the girl meant that day. Like Shuyuan, she denied that Shuyuan would come back to the Lu family.
"I want to ask you something this time, not to cause trouble with you. I'm sorry about what happened last time."
She was able to speak well this time. She also went to school and knew what was right and wrong. Last time, she was in a hurry and acted recklessly. They already understood the righteousness of not telling the matter to Father Lu.
Cheng Xu saw that she was very calm now: "Just ask me anything, and I will tell you what I know." This is also a poor person.
"When Lao Lu came home today, he said that he had been promoted. I asked him how he got promoted. He said that it was because of the help of noble people. I wanted to treat the people who helped him to dinner. When he denied it on the spot and refused to let me mention it, I just I wonder if he has found Teacher Shu."
"You also said before that you would not go back to the Lu family, but I felt uneasy, so I wanted to ask."
Cheng Xu took her to a deserted flower bed and sat down: "I know about this. I can tell you, but you have to shut up."
Wei Ni expressed her position anxiously: "I won't say it. I feel bad for the Lu family now, but I can't get divorced. If I get divorced, my daughter will be disliked without a father, and I won't be able to find another one." Family, I want to drag him to the Lu family right now."
Father Lu wanted to leave her alone, but her film was not what Father Lu wanted.
"Actually, this is also a good thing for you. I remember you said before that your hometown is under the black market."
Wei Ni: "Yes, my home is far away and cold. No one can go out in winter, so our family is very poor. If we want to make money, we have to go out to work in the province. That's what I was like at the beginning. As a result, I got married here."
It was just that her life was not good. Her first husband died of illness. Wei Xin was still young at that time. She took care of her children alone until she was a teenager, and then married her second husband, Lu's father.
If she had known that Father Lu was not a good person, she would not have been able to marry him. It was a pity that she believed in the matchmaker too much and did not ask about what Father Lu did back then.
Cheng Xu: "If I could let you go back to your hometown, would you be willing?"
Wei Ni raised her lowered head: "How to go back!"
"Actually, there are conditions for Father Lu to be promoted. He will be transferred to Hecheng in the black market to manage a project. He will not be able to come back for promotion until the project is successfully completed."
Cheng Xu gave her a meaningful look: "However, the requirement is that the project is successfully completed. If this is not completed, you can imagine when you will come back."
That means you can’t come back!
Wei Ni is simply ecstatic!
But her family was just ordinary people, and she had no way to get in where Lao Lu was working. Thinking that she had nothing to do in this area, Wei Ni's heart was shattered again.
"My brothers are promising, but you can't do bad things like this, something will happen." Her arms couldn't twist her thighs, and she couldn't let her brothers get into trouble for her own sake.
Cheng Xu: "I'm not asking you to do it. You just need to appease Father Lu and Lu Bin and watch them go to the black market honestly. When they both go, you can go home one step slower than them."
Wei Ni understood that she was just following orders, and it felt good to have someone to help her. Father Lu's wish to get promoted or bring Shuyuan back to the Lu family was all a daydream.
"But I don't have... any money, so I won't be able to leave then."
"I'll buy you a ticket." Cheng Xu didn't care about the money, as long as it could send away people related to Lu's father and save money and eliminate disaster, but she didn't give it in vain.
"I'll pay for the tickets for you and your daughter, but I have one condition: let your brother keep an eye on these two people and not allow them to sneak back to the capital."
Wei Ni was overjoyed: "I will do this without you having to tell me."
When she went to the black market, she would only be taught by her brother if she behaved like Father Lu. Beatings were commonplace. Her brothers often fought when they were young. She was very favored because she was the youngest girl, and her brothers loved her. , as long as she told her brother about her experience, Father Lu would be beaten three times a day.
Lu Bin, this kid, was always yelling at her. Her brothers would definitely not beat up her juniors, but she was not afraid. Even though her brothers had given birth to sons, it would be the same if her nephews would follow and beat them up.
