Chapter 103 Lu Yuanqing's parents were called in.
Zhao Zhongcai would never agree to feed precious grain to pigs.
He won't agree, and nobody in the village will agree either.
Cornmeal? Are you kidding me? Every household there eats cornmeal rice.
Lu Yuanqing understood this principle, so naturally he didn't say anything more.
It's great if they can be ready for market in five or six months, and you can raise pigs twice a year, so the harvest will definitely be extraordinary.
But we also have to consider the practicalities!
Life went on peacefully and beautifully like this.
Lu Yuanqing is busy with farm work every day. His children are very well-behaved, much easier to raise than naughty kids. They are obedient and sensible.
Especially the three children who need to go to school, perhaps because they have to pay for their own schooling and cannot help their families earn work points, Lu Yuanhuan and the other two are very sensible.
Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi would get up early every day and go out to gather pig feed before dawn.
The piglets in the village have a huge appetite, and the person originally assigned to raise the pigs simply couldn't find enough pig feed to feed a hundred piglets.
Therefore, Zhao Zhongcai stipulated in the village that anyone could go and gather pig feed, and two baskets of pig feed would count as one work point.
Knowing this rule, Lu Yuanhuan happily led Lu Mingxi to gather a basket of pig feed each early every morning, earning one work point. After school, they would carry the baskets again to find pig feed and earn another work point.
Little by little, it adds up, and I don't mind it.
Lu Mingdong, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic about collecting firewood.
He now even pulls Lu Mingnan along to collect firewood.
When Lu Yuanqing first sent his three children to school, the villagers made some sarcastic remarks, thinking that Lu Yuanqing was just not smart enough and wasted the money!
Now, seeing how capable and considerate they are while studying, everyone is praising Lu Yuanqing for raising such smart children.
Having heard about this several times while at work, Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.
But he never expected that his son, who was good at studying and diligent at home, would one day cause trouble at school and even have his parents called in!
When Lu Yuanqing heard from Lu Mingxi that her homeroom teacher asked him to go to school the next day, he was stunned for a long time.
"Isn't there supposed to be no parent-teacher meeting? And it's not even around the time of the midterm exams yet!"
"Even during the midterm exams, there won't be any parent-teacher conferences!" Lu Mingdong slurped up a mouthful of corn and rice porridge and said expressionlessly.
Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow and said, "I knew it! There were no parent-teacher conferences when I was in school. I thought you guys had changed things! So, Xiaoxi, why did your teacher ask me to go to school?"
"They probably got into trouble!" Lu Yuanbo said with a smile.
Seeing Lu Mingxi with his head down and not saying a word, Lu Yuanqing glared at Lu Yuanbo and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you're Xiaoxi? Xiaoxi is much more well-behaved than you. When you were in elementary school, your teacher would run into me every few days and tell me about your amazing feats at school!"
Lu Yuanbo was not ashamed at all, but rather proud. "Hmph, my homeroom teacher is just being nosy. I was never the one who started it!"
They were talking enthusiastically, but before dinner, when Lu Mingxi mentioned that the teacher had asked for her, she shut her mouth, lowered her head, and didn't say a word. Lu Yuanqing couldn't even see her eyes.
Lu Yuanqing frowned. Something's happened! And it's something big, and it doesn't seem like a good thing.
Okay, he's not going to lie to himself anymore. Usually, parents are only called in when someone does something wrong.
However, nowadays teachers generally don't like to call parents.
So... what did Lu Mingxi do?
Lu Yuanhuan opened her mouth as if to say something, but when she saw Lu Mingxi's pitiful pleading look, she shut her mouth again.
At the dinner table, Lu Yuanqing noticed the unspoken connection between the two men.
"Then I'll go to school with you tomorrow!" Lu Yuanqing decided not to guess anymore. Whatever it was, he would find out at school tomorrow!
I need to ask the brigade leader for leave later.
After dinner, it got dark.
After tidying up and washing up, I went back to my room to sleep.
Lu Yuanqing returned from Zhao Zhongcai's house and lay on the bed. Listening to the incessant chatter of Lu Mingnan and the others in the next room, he wasn't sleepy at the moment, so he started calling out the system to chat.
"Three sixes, do you know what happened to Lu Mingxi at school?"
System: "Sorry..."
"Stop!" Lu Yuanqing interrupted it in time. "Let's change the subject. Why are the Lu family members all cannon fodder?"
"Cannon fodder?" The system asked, puzzled. "Host, what makes you say that!"
Lu Yuanqing lay back on the bed, crossing his legs, and said, "Look, I've completed three hidden missions so far, but apart from the two smallest ones, which I didn't have because I didn't starve to death, the other two, Lu Yuanbo and Lu Yuanhuan, originally didn't have very good endings!"
Lu Yuanbo didn't need to; he almost ate peanuts.
Lu Yuanhuan was tricked by Niu Datou, and in the end, for the sake of food, she actually married Niu Datou.
She saved her family, but not for long.
The Lu family was in a situation where they were constantly losing money.
After finishing the grain given by the Niu family, there was nothing left.
As a result, she stole grain from the Niu family and took it home, whereupon she was subjected to domestic violence by Niu Datou.
That's how my first beating started!
However, everyone knows that domestic violence is either a one-time occurrence or a recurring problem.
With no one in the Lu family to support her, Lu Yuanhuan tried every means to subsidize her own family, leaving nothing for the Niu family. This triggered the violent tendencies in Niu Datou's heart.
Later, Lu Yuanhuan was beaten half to death, and the Niu family kept a close watch on her, so naturally she had no way to stop her.
At this time, the original owner of the Lu family had died, Lu Yuanbo had been eating peanuts, and the remaining children were all teenagers. The oldest, Lu Mingxi, was only 12 years old. He was tormented all day long and couldn't even fill his own stomach.
The two youngest children starved to death!
Of course, Lu Yuanhuan's ending was also tragic. Niu Datou beat her every day, and although she was pregnant, she ultimately died along with her unborn child.
After completing the task, Lu Yuanqing felt very uncomfortable when he heard what the system said.
Lu Yuanhuan, the most sensible child in the family, met such an end.
At such a young age, even just hearing about it makes one feel extremely sorry for them.
Besides, she's now his younger sister.
Niu Datou had already been sent to the farm, and Lu Yuanqing was filled with regret! He should have thought of a better way to make that bastard Niu Datou eat peanuts!
"Now I understand, all the Lu family brats are cannon fodder, they'll all end up badly!" Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh, "Lu Mingxi probably won't have a good ending either!"
"Ugh! What a mess!"
The system reassured him: "Host, you might be mistaken! Don't forget, Lu Mingdong was the one who survived and thrived in the Lu family in the end. He wasn't cannon fodder! There's no such thing as cannon fodder! He was just a little unlucky!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqing snorted coldly: "Yeah, he's not cannon fodder, but he's cannon fodder for others! He'll be a ruthless glutton in the future. What does 'ruthless glutton' mean? It means his wife's family will be ruthless because of him!"
