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

Lu Mingzhou understood. "Okay, let's do it that way. Wait a moment, I'll call you when breakfast is ready."

"Um!"

Lu Mingzhou went out, and Qiao Wanqing didn't ask him if he had immediately told Lu's mother. The reason she spoke to Lu Mingzhou privately was to give him the decision-making power over this matter.

To put it bluntly, the best approach would be to keep Lu Mingzhu unable to have children until she exposes Lu Minghui.

But as his older brother, Lu Mingzhou might not be willing to give up.

If we tell Lu's mother and Lu Mingzhu that she should receive immediate treatment, even with the current diagnosis, Lu Mingzhu will have recovered by then, and Lu Minghui's crime will seem less serious.

So Qiao Wanqing won't make the decision on what to do; he'll decide for himself.

In the end, Lu Mingzhou did not disappoint Qiao Wanqing. He did not use his sister's health as a bargaining chip, and immediately told Miao Cuiying about it. Miao Cuiying was naturally overjoyed and cried tears of joy.

Qiao Wanqing was very pleased with Lu Mingzhou's actions.

Her husband would not abandon his principles for personal gain or power, just as he was willing to marry her despite the risks involved.

People who are too clever are not usually well-liked; people still need some warmth and kindness!

What Qiao Wanqing didn't expect was that Lu's mother and Lu Mingzhou both felt that immediate treatment was necessary, but Lu Mingzhu refused after waking up.

After confirming that she could recover with further treatment after some time, she decided to wait until she could take revenge on Lu Minghui before undergoing treatment.

She was her mother's first daughter and had been carefully raised since childhood. Lu Minghui had treated her so cruelly, and Lu Mingzhu was determined not to let go of this opportunity to bring him down.

Lu Mingzhou sternly said, "Mingzhu, are you crazy? You're joking about your own body?"

Lu Mingzhu shrank back after being yelled at by her brother, and said aggrievedly, "Didn't my sister-in-law say that even if we wait a year or two to get treatment, it won't have any impact? He dared to be so ruthless to me, so he should pay the price."

"A soldier so ruthless, shouldn't he be punished? What if he preys on other women in the future?"

Lu Mingzhou said angrily, "Tell me the truth, is it because of me? Are you afraid that if you don't bring him down this time, he and your father-in-law will make things difficult for me later?"

Lu Mingzhu pursed her lips. "Part of it is because of this, and another part is for my own revenge."

Lu Mingzhu's face was still a little pale. After taking the medicine, her stomach felt much better, and she had the strength to speak. She looked at Lu Mingzhou seriously and said, "Fourth Brother, he always treats us as enemies. You can tell from how ruthless he was to me this time. Given the chance, he will try to kill us."

"This guy is way more ruthless than us. At least we still care about Dad's reputation, but he doesn't care at all. He's always been hiding behind his older sister since he was little, letting her fight for him while he enjoys everything. All these years later, he's made it big, but we've never seen him do anything for his sister. How can you feel at ease if you don't bring him down?"

Before Lu Mingzhou could answer, Lu Mingzhu said, "Anyway, I'm not at ease. I'm the one who hit Xu Li. He could hit me so hard even before I hit Xu Li. Now that he's hit Xu Li, who knows how he'll retaliate against me? I'm scared, so I'm going to pull him down."

Lu Mingzhu was not lying about this.

She wasn't just trying to help her fourth brother; she was genuinely scared at that moment.

She had conflicts with Lu Mingqian, but she never thought of killing her, let alone preventing her from having children. This wasn't the first time they had fought. When she first returned to her hometown with her parents, she wasn't very old, and Lu Mingqian would bully her back then.

After fighting for so many years, nothing serious had happened, but as soon as Lu Minghui came back, she almost lost her life.

She was really scared!

Lu Mingzhou remained silent for a long time. Miao Cuiying looked at her son and then at her daughter, unsure of what to do.

She was worried about her daughter's health, but also felt that what her daughter said made sense.

In the end, Lu Mingzhou made the final decision: "No, you should take your medicine. You can't joke around with your health. I'll deal with him. Don't worry about this."

Lu Mingzhu frowned, wanting to refute. She was genuinely scared. That heartless guy was not only a fighter but also had real power. What if he really found an opportunity to kill her?

How could a mere woman like her possibly resist?

Of course, getting him down as soon as possible is the most important thing!

Lu Mingzhou said solemnly, "Mingzhu, I have a way to deal with him. You don't need to risk your own body."

"I know you're trying to say that delaying your medication won't affect your future ability to have children, but how long are you going to delay? I haven't even looked into Lu Minghui's situation yet, and it's hard to say whether there's a chance to bring him down in the short term. If there's no chance, are you just going to keep waiting?"

"What about your in-laws' side? Are you just going to keep not having children? Won't this cause problems in your relationship with your husband?"

"Even if you two have a good relationship, what if things don't work out? Don't test the people around you. Just live your life as usual. It's important for you to live your own life well. Whether you can leave him behind or not, we still have to live our lives. Don't keep revolving around his affairs all the time."

Lu Mingzhu lowered her head, somewhat unwilling, but also hesitant.

She got married and has a good relationship with her husband. Last year, because of a crucial period for her promotion, she didn't have children. Her in-laws have been waiting for more than a year, and if they delay any longer, they will probably have objections.

Her husband's family was very well-off. Her father-in-law was the general manager of a department store in the city, her mother-in-law was the office director of a large factory, and her husband also worked in a factory. She originally only had a job in the county town, but after getting married, her husband's family transferred her to the city and arranged for her to work in a department store, which was a very respectable job.

To give her confidence in marrying into the family, her parents prepared a generous dowry for her...

Miao Cuiying held her daughter's hand and advised, "Listen to your brother, don't be afraid of him. This isn't his territory, a place where he can do whatever he wants. Your brother is no less capable than him. Besides, in the city, his influence might not even be as great as your in-laws'!"

"Just live your lives well. Mom doesn't expect any revenge from you. I just hope that you can all live peacefully and safely, as long as..."

Miao Cuiying choked up as she spoke, "As long as they're safe, that's all that matters!"

Her greatest wish in this life was for her children to be safe and well. She never wanted to experience that scene again when she saw her son's small figure in the cellar.

"mom……"

Lu Mingzhu's eyes also reddened. In the end, she agreed to take her medicine obediently and recover her health before discussing anything else.

After breakfast, Miao Cuiying tidied up and prepared to take her daughter to see a doctor. Lu Mingzhou was a little worried and wanted to go with her, but he was also worried about Qiao Wanqing, who was pregnant, at home.

Just then, someone came to the old house and said that there was something important and that the family should come over immediately.
