1970s: My childhood sweetheart ran away, and I turned around and married the wildest chief.

Actually, it's more likely that it will happen after the founding of the People's Republic of China, because the main force will be more stable after the founding of the PRC, and Lu's father will be able to go home to visit relatives.

She remembered Lu Mingzhou saying that after her second brother was injured, Miao Cuiying went crazy and beat his grandmother severely. Later, she even took most of the Lu family's property and divided the family property. This situation was definitely the result of Lu's father backing her up.

Only a man who has made meritorious contributions and become a cadre can have such great influence in his hometown.

otherwise……

Ha ha!

A new bride from out of town, with her husband away and her child young, dared to beat her mother-in-law in the Lu family's ancestral home.

She's probably tired of living!

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, bandits roamed the country and clans held great power. This was the location of the Lu family's main residence. Without the support of Lu's father and the tacit approval of the Lu family patriarch, Miao Cuiying's son would have been either mentally challenged or dead. She would not have been able to do anything to the old lady of the Lu family!

In her previous life, Qiao Wanqing was born in the 1990s. When she was a child, there were several wives in her village who were beaten away by their mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law! Some even drank pesticide, hanged themselves, or jumped into the river.

Not to mention Miao Cuiying's time.

Without a man's permission, Old Mrs. Lu's daughter-in-law and daughter could tear Miao Cuiying apart.

After her second son was injured, Miao Cuiying went to the army with her father, while her first wife's children stayed in their hometown. The two families lived peacefully for more than ten years.

Qiao Wanqing thought that since Lu's father was a cadre back then, the old man must have had some concerns. The two fathers and sons reached an agreement. The so-called taking away most of the family property could not be the real family property. It should be the old man's compensation to Lu's father. That's why Lu's father and Miao Cuiying have been able to live so well all these years.

Of course, it's also possible that Lu's father had savings from fighting in wars when he was young, or it's possible that he had both.

If either the old man or Mr. Lu were not in charge, these two sides would not have been at peace for so many years.

In those days, it was the daughter-in-law who had to endure hardship to become the mother-in-law. Being beaten by a daughter-in-law was an absolute disgrace. Old Mrs. Lu was probably a laughing stock even among her own circle of old ladies. All these years, the old lady never took advantage of her status as a mother to go and join the army. It can only be said that Old Mr. Lu was able to keep her in check.

Otherwise, the old lady would probably have already found an opportunity to go to the army to deal with Miao Cuiying.

So, the two men are in charge, and neither of them is confused.

When Mr. Lu left with Miao Cuiying, there was no problem at all in leaving his children from his first marriage in his hometown. Those two children liked their grandmother more than their stepmother, so what was wrong with leaving them in their hometown with their grandmother?

Take it with you?

Isn't he worried that Miao Cuiying will try to kill Lu Mingqian or even Lu Minghui in order to get revenge?

Or perhaps, Lu Mingqian is so young yet she dares to harm people, and if she dares to do it once, she dares to do it again. Miao Cuiying has to take care of a mentally challenged son and an even younger child, so it's inevitable that she'll be overwhelmed.

Doesn't Mr. Lu worry that Lu Mingqian will continue to harm her younger siblings?

Therefore, separation is the best outcome.

Everything that followed followed naturally.

The old lady was beaten by her daughter-in-law and couldn't retaliate, so she vented her anger on her grandchildren. With Grandpa Lu suppressing her, and knowing she was in the wrong, she had no choice but to raise the two grandchildren.

They were unwilling to raise the children, but they couldn't not raise them either, so they could only raise them on the surface and even raise them well, but secretly they made them suffer and endure hardship. They would then constantly instill in Lu Mingqian and Lu Minghui the idea that their father didn't want them anymore, that their father had been taken away by their stepmother, that their father had taken their stepmother's child to the city to enjoy a life of luxury, and that all the bad things they were going through were because their stepmother had taken their father away and that their father didn't want them anymore.

She kept stirring up trouble between the children and their father so that the old lady could feel better. She probably hated her son for finally becoming a cadre and returning to the village in glory, only to have his first act be to support his wife and beat up his mother.

Children of this generation have all experienced hardship. In an era when food was scarce, they had no time to worry about whether their parents loved them or not.

They are completely unaware of these things.

Lu Mingqian and Lu Minghui are completely different from ordinary children. They are extreme, resentful, and aggrieved. They are full of resentment towards their father and hate their stepmother to the core.

Even if there are innate reasons for this personality, the old lady Lu definitely deserves a lot of credit!

An old woman from a feudal society who had many sons and was very assertive was just using her influence over her sons and daughters-in-law to manipulate them. She even went so far as to incite her grandchildren to turn against her sons.

Does Qiao Wanqing even need to ask about such a trivial matter?

She had seen far too many things in her past and present lives, from rural families to wealthy clans, all of which had their own filth and corruption.

Sadly, in the end, men still have a chance to turn back, like Lu Minghui.

Women, on the other hand, often become the victims of reconciliation, like Lu Mingqian.

If it weren't for Lu's father's support back then, Miao Cuiying would most likely have died after hitting her mother-in-law. In that case, if Lu Mingzhou had become powerful in the future, the sacrificial lamb for reconciliation would most likely have been Lu's old lady.

If Lu Mingzhou is unremarkable and Lu Minghui is the powerful one, then Miao Cuiying will definitely be the one who suffers.

Is everything entirely the fault of these two women? Don't the head of the family, Old Master Lu, and Lu's father have any problems?

Of course not, but in the end, they will most likely not be the ones to bear the consequences; women will be the first choice.

Now it remains to be seen whether Lu Minghui, the younger brother, is willing to protect his older sister.

Qiao Wanqing had expected this outcome, but she was still very unhappy when it actually happened.

Because both men and women make mistakes, but women are always the first to suffer. Their fate is not in their own hands, but rather depends on men.

Lu Mingqian did indeed go to see Lu Minghui. At that time, Lu Minghui was already packing his bags and preparing to move. The whole family was in high spirits. They were going to move to the old house, which was Lu's grandfather's idea.

"Minghui!" Lu Mingqian found him.

Lu Minghui turned around, somewhat surprised, "Big sister, what brings you here?"

Lu Mingqian grabbed her younger brother's hand as if he were a lifeline. "Minghui, your grandfather wants to expel me from the clan. You have to go back and tell him not to do it. The Lu family is a big family here. If I'm expelled, how will I live? My in-laws will bully me to death, and they might even abandon me. Outsiders will bully me too. Please help me. Grandpa values ​​you a lot this time. If you go and talk to him, he will definitely agree."

However, Lu Minghui disagreed with his assessment.

He said with a relaxed expression, "Sister, you're overthinking it. No matter what, you're still a daughter of the Lu family, a granddaughter of Grandpa and Grandma. Blood ties can't be changed. It's just a formality."

"Big sister, I never expected Grandpa to help me so much. With Grandpa's help, my future will be much smoother. Maybe I won't have to struggle for too long before I get promoted again. With your little brother here, who would dare to bully you?"
