Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 745 - 744: Can’t Be With Him Anymore!

Fang Youlan absolutely refused to stay at home, insisting on leaving with Lu Pengcheng.

Lu Pengcheng was also worried that after he left, the old couple might quarrel and start fighting again. The nanny was hired help, and it was difficult for her to intervene.

But he definitely couldn’t take his grandmother to his father-in-law’s house. His own home had been unoccupied for a long time, and it wasn’t appropriate to leave his grandmother there alone.

His brother Lu Pengfei wasn’t at home; only Song Wanjun and others were there, and Fang Youlan didn’t want to impose on her second daughter-in-law.

Finally, Lu Pengcheng took Fang Youlan to Lu Shuhui’s home.

Lu Shuhui was surprised by the sudden arrival of her older brother and their mother. Seeing her mother’s unkempt and embarrassed state, she could guess a bit of what had happened.

"Big brother! Mom! What happened?"

Lu Pengcheng touched his nose, "Shuhui, mom and dad had some unpleasantness! Mom will stay at your place for a few days!"

Having reached her daughter’s house, Fang Youlan found her confidence, she sharply looked at Lu Pengcheng, "Big brother! Don’t downplay this!

What do you mean by staying a few days! Let me tell you, I will not endure things silently like last time!

The way Lu Guangqi hit me, I won’t live with him anymore!"

This time she was truly disheartened—she hadn’t said anything wrong, so why should Lu Guangqi get to just hit her whenever he says so!

"Mom! You’re already this old. Not to mention dad was just in the heat of the moment when he..." Lu Pengcheng was at a loss for words!

He fundamentally sided with his mother regarding his father hitting her. After all, hitting someone is always wrong, no matter the circumstances!

But his mother should also reflect on herself. Always being so aggressive and unreasonable, how long could anyone bear with that?

Fang Youlan, as if shooing away a fly, dismissed him, "Enough! You’ve safely brought me here! Go quickly and fulfill your filial duties at your father-in-law’s!"

Lu Pengcheng felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Unwilling to argue further with his mother, he simply left.

After Lu Pengcheng had left, Lu Shuhui took Fang Youlan to her room to find out what had happened.

When she had heard everything, she, too, became a bit angry.

"What were Xiaozheng and his wife thinking? How could they even consider letting his grandfather name their child?!

Even if my dad didn’t name the child, at the very least, my brother should have, as he is the children’s biological grandfather!"

Fang Youlan found someone who understood her plight and poured out her grievances, "Exactly! Shuhui, you see it’s not all my fault, right?

Your dad is easy to talk to. Once your brother spoke to him, he didn’t even voice any opposition. He just said whatever, as long as the surname is Lu it’s fine.

That’s why I got angry when I heard it! Why should a child of the Lu family be named by someone surnamed Shao?

Even if that Shao Chengzhi is more prestigious and capable than us, there’s no need to please him to that extent!

I’m sure this was all Lin Xia manipulating Lu Zheng behind the scenes. Otherwise, our Xiaozheng has always been a good child, how could he do such a heartless thing?

Your brother even said I was being unreasonable, and your dad... he’s changed now..." Fang Youlan sobbed, "At this age, he just hits me whenever he says so, dragging me by my hair and knocking me to the ground to beat me fiercely!

I can’t continue living with him! If I do, it won’t be long before I suffocate!"

Seeing her mother cry, Lu Shuhui felt very distressed and quickly took a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her tears.

However, she fundamentally disagreed with her mother’s decision not to live with her father anymore.

"Mom! You and dad are both of this age! If not with him, where would you go?"

Fang Youlan paused in wiping her tears, staring at her daughter with undisguised disappointment, "Where can I go? I have you four children. I won’t consider Hailin’s place as I’m not used to living there.

"Can’t I just take turns staying with each of you three families? I’m at this age, how much longer can I live?"

Lu Shuhui’s heart ached as waves of sorrow washed over her, but being a daughter, her family had both the young and the old, and with her son planning to marry, where could her mother possibly stay?

Besides, if her mother were a trouble-free old lady, it might be okay.

But she wasn’t.

Every time the old lady came to their house, she would stir up conflicts.

"Mom, I think Dad just lost control because he was angry. Give it a few days, and he’ll calm down!"

Fang Youlan was struck with grief, wondering what use was it to have raised her children?

Each one of them was unreliable, and they all sided with that stubborn old man!

She cried in sorrow...

Lu Pengcheng, worn out in mind and body, returned to his father-in-law Shao Chengzhi’s home.

Seeing his dark expression and furrowed brow, Shao Meirou couldn’t help but take a closer look.

But with Lin Xia’s relatives still in the living room, it wasn’t a good time to ask what exactly had happened.

Once they reached their own room, Shao Meirou gently inquired, "Pengcheng! What’s wrong?"

"Nothing! Let’s just wash up and sleep. It’s been a tiring day!" Lu Pengcheng didn’t want to tell Shao Meirou about the issues at his home to avoid making her feel awkward.

Sitting beside Lu Pengcheng, Shao Meirou said, "We’re husband and wife! Can’t we be honest with each other? Did something happen at your parents’ house?" freewёbnoνel.com

After repeated questioning from Shao Meirou, Lu Pengcheng finally shared the whole situation with her.

"...Meirou! I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want you to worry! Xiao Zheng and the others have left the naming to our dad, and I have no objections.

I know how good our dad has been to Xiao Zheng over the years!

And indeed, the issues caused by my mom are unforgivable.

Sigh! However, when I saw Dad eagerly showing me that stack of papers filled with names, my heart truly ached..."

Listening to this, Shao Meirou also felt uneasy, her father-in-law indeed was a good man.

If it weren’t for her father-in-law keeping her mother-in-law in check, who knows what terrible things she might do.

She sighed lightly, "Pengcheng! Naming was the children’s decision, and my dad is really happy about it. You see him flipping through dictionaries and the Book of Odes, putting all his energy into this.

So, I can’t bring myself to tell him to stop now!"

Lu Pengcheng hurriedly explained, "Meirou! I didn’t tell you this to get you to persuade Dad to give up on naming the kids! I really didn’t want to say anything if you hadn’t kept asking!"

Shao Meirou nodded, "I understand!" She remained silent for a while and then had an idea, "Lin Xia had thought of several nicknames before, but nothing was finalized! We were thinking to decide after seeing the names Dad came up with...

I think we should do this: let’s go talk to Xiaozheng and Lin Xia and see if we can get your dad to pick the nicknames!"

Lu Pengcheng hugged Shao Meirou emotionally, "Meirou! If they agree, that would be great! Dad would be delighted!" Whether it’s their formal names or nicknames, as long as it’s for the kids, Dad will be incredibly satisfied.

Shao Meirou appreciated his closeness, but she had to lay it out upfront.

"It would be great if they agree. However, I can’t be sure they will!" She knew her son’s temperament somewhat; if he became stubborn, only Lin Xia could manage him.

"No matter! Let’s try communicating! If they absolutely disagree, then let it be!" Though Lu Pengcheng said so, hope still kindled in his heart.
