Chapter 327 The Unlearned Old Seven [Request for Full Order]

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith!
Lu Yang's seventh cousin happened to be the one who got the Xin grade, so his name was Lu Youxin.

Lu Youxin is three and a half years younger than his sixth brother Lu Youzhi. He is exactly 17 and a half years old this year. After the Chinese New Year and the beginning of spring, he will be an adult.

Because he is the youngest in the family.

Therefore, when Lu Yang's uncle was still alive, he loved this youngest son the most. Besides loving the sweet-talking fifth son Lu Youli, Lu Yang's aunt also loved the seventh son more, after all, he was the eldest son of the Lu family.

Besides, his brothers also give in to him.

Therefore, the seventh child developed a character that was afraid of hardship, irresponsible, and ambitious since childhood.

For example, take reading.

The aunt-in-law has made it very clear just now that the seventh brother insisted on going to an ordinary high school and gave up going to a technical secondary school. He also did not recognize his own abilities. It was because that woman Yin Mingzhu was admitted to Yenching University and became a celebrity in the village, so the seventh brother became envious.

it is good.

Just be envious.

Then you should mend your ways, study hard from now on, get rid of your bad habits, and work hard for your dreams.

But I just don’t want to.

At the beginning, when I was envious, I did think about studying hard, but my enthusiasm was only short-lived. After just a few days of school, I returned to my old ways and treated high school as a bathhouse. I would come and go as I pleased. I would hang out with three or five friends, playing billiards or hanging out in video halls and skating rinks every day. Although I was still a student, what was the difference between me and the street urchins in society?
No one can control him yet.

Lu Yang's aunt is a doting person. She has been pampering this boy before, and ever since Lu Youli disappeared with his wife.

His aunt even gave all her love for the fifth child to the seventh child.

Also, Lu Yang is actually also responsible here.

Lu Yang helped his uncle's family.

His uncle's family in this time and space lives a much better life than his uncle's family in the time and space before his rebirth.

Yes, Lu Yang never directly helped his uncle and aunt, nor did he give these two elders any big red envelopes, but he helped his eldest cousin Lu Youren, his third cousin Lu Youyi, and his sixth cousin Lu Youzhi. Each of these three brothers is doing well now, and they are all helping Lu Yang to be independent and responsible for taking charge of a region. Lu Yang has never treated them unfairly.

Just imagine, when these three brothers are living well, will they not support their brothers and sisters or help their parents at all?
I won’t say anything else.

Just bringing gifts during festivals, giving some pension money, and honoring parents are enough for an ordinary rural family to improve their lives.

What's more, ever since Lu Yang's uncle passed away, Lu Yang's aunt, along with the seventh child and the eighth child, have actually been living and eating together with Lu Yang's eldest cousin Lu Youren and his wife.

Can this still be the same as before?

What we eat, use, live in, play with, and everything we come into contact with in daily life are all completely unrelated to the original time and space.

Therefore, a person's growth environment plays an extremely important role in shaping his or her character.

The Seventh Brother that Lu Yang knew before his rebirth was a man whose family was poor. Several brothers had to live in a leaky old house. They had poor food and sleep, and were as thin as a monkey. His older brothers also had a big fight over finding a wife. The third brother even jumped into a pond after drinking too much, following his uncle's example. As a result, the Seventh Brother was somewhat taciturn and submissive. Although he later reluctantly married a divorced widow, he was honest and fawning all his life, and he did not make any big mistakes, nor did he achieve anything great.

To put it simply: he is just an honest and ordinary farmer who wants to live a day-to-day life in order to carry on the family line and have a companion in his old age.

This kind of people are very common in rural areas. Really. Once they become unmarried young people over 40, let alone marrying a remarried widow, even if they marry a remarried woman with a child, or a remarried woman who has been sterilized and has a child, and is destined to be a boat puller for the rest of their lives, there are still many people willing to do it.

anyway.

After Lu Yang was reborn, the seventh child of the Lu family that he knew in this life was naughty and mischievous. He did suffer a lot before his teens, but after he entered junior high school in his teens, his brothers began to make money with him, the fourth cousin, and the family conditions improved, so he basically did not suffer any hardship.

At that time, Lu Yang didn't think that this little cousin would grow up crooked.

He was even glad that it was his rebirth that changed the future fate of his little cousin. No matter what, he should not be unable to find a wife when he is forty in this life.

Who would have thought it would end up like this.

It is said that it takes a lifetime to learn good things, but only three minutes to learn bad things.

Of course, it definitely took Lu Youxin more than three minutes to learn bad things, but there are indeed signs that can be traced.

When this kid was in the first grade of junior high school, he gave himself a nickname, "Little Mengchang".

Do you remember the task that Lu Yang gave to Lao Liu when he got his first pot of gold, asking him to help scout out the area and inquire about the number of sewing machines in the surrounding villages and towns as well as the family situations?
This job is easy, but time-consuming.

Lao Liu then had some ideas and came up with a plan to outsource the job.

Who should it be given to?
His younger brother, the seventh brother Lu Youxin, who was known as "Little Mengchang", brought a group of his classmates and friends to travel around the surrounding villages and towns of Shanghuai Village, and quickly doubled the task that Lu Yang had originally assigned to the sixth brother Lu Youzhi, and did a very good job.

The reward was two or three cents from his sixth brother for every address of a family with a sewing machine, which he used to buy soda, popsicles, and picture books.

Lu Yang thought: "It may be from this time that he saw the charm of money and no one was watching over him, so he became wild."

"Alas, I shouldn't have let Lao Liu hand over this task to his brother and his classmates."

Seeing Lu Yang frowning, he remained silent for a while.

Her aunt said anxiously, "Nephew, although Old Seven is a little naughty, he is still a very well-behaved person. He can't concentrate on studying. Why don't you give him a job?"

The only son she has who has not yet married is the seventh. As for the eighth, she is a girl and is still in primary school, so there is no rush at all.

I thought, since I don't want to go to school anymore, I should take advantage of my nephew's big business and work for him to earn more money, so that I can marry him off and bring him home in a few years.

In this way, she would be able to repay her late uncle Lu Yang.

Lu Yang also came back to his senses at this time. Seeing that the aunt looked anxious, he smiled and said, "Aunt, don't worry. I was just thinking about other things. As for Lao Qi's work, I don't have anything to arrange. You know that I am a hands-off boss now. I basically don't care about anything in the factory. Whether it is recruiting or hiring, it is basically handled by several cousins.

How about this, since Lao Qi doesn't want to go to school anymore and wants to work, then let him go to his eldest brother, Brother You Ren, and let Brother You Ren arrange something for him."

This was as good as saying nothing. The seventh brother, Lu Youxin, was a little too ambitious. If he really wanted to work in a factory, operate a sewing machine, learn to drive a truck, or learn to cut small fabrics for clothing and become a tailor apprentice, he wouldn't have to go through his mother and use Lu Yang's relationship. He could just go directly to his brother.

But then again, if he can't even do these things and doesn't want to do them, why should Lu Yang help him?
Like a joke.

Didn't his brothers also learn and do these things in the beginning?
Times have really changed. After just a few days of good life, people forget the hardships they suffered in their childhood and even their own names.
Humph, Lu Yang won’t indulge him. He can do it as he pleases.

Her aunt stammered, "Well, well, that's fine, but, nephew, isn't there any easier work? You know that the seventh brother has never done heavy work since he was a child. In addition, his brothers have taken good care of him and he has never suffered any grievances. I'm afraid he can't endure the hardship, you see..."

So I still don’t think highly of working in a factory.

Lu Yang laughed and said, "That's fine. Since you don't want to work and can't bear the hardship, then go study hard. When you graduate from college and have real skills, I will personally invite him back and hire him as a manager of the company with a high salary. I will also ensure that he will do no worse than his brothers in the future. Aunt, you can tell Old Seven exactly what I said."

You don't want to study, don't work hard, don't learn, and you want to get something for nothing, without working, without being an apprentice, without pretending to be a grandson, and just get a high salary. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?
The rich second generation still know how to work hard.

"Okay, okay, I'll go tell him. I'll go tell him."

Seeing that Lu Yang had said so, and was determined to either study hard or endure hardship and work in a factory on a sewing machine, his aunt had no choice but to give in to Lu Yang's wishes at this stage, even if she was reluctant.

What else can be done?
This nephew is not an easy person to get along with. Even though he seems to be cheerful with everyone now, if he really gets angry, his uncle is no longer around, and his aunt may not care much about him.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first. Aunt, please be sure to tell Xiao Qi what I said. If he wants to study, he should study hard. If he doesn't want to study, he should honestly report to his brother and start as an apprentice in the factory to polish his edges first."

Having said that, he didn't wait for the aunt to continue pestering him.

Lu Yang chose to leave directly.

"Nephew, why don't you stay for dinner?"

"No need, it's already been prepared at home. It's a rare trip back home, and I have to accompany my wife and daughter. As for your meal, aunt, I think you should leave it for Brother Youren. My sister-in-law has worked hard taking care of the children, so let them have a good meal in the evening."

"Well...well...ok then."

No matter what you say, you can't beat Lu Yang.

"boom."

Just as Lu Yang left, the door of the main room was opened again, and Lu Youxin, who had been hiding in another room next door and eavesdropping, walked in angrily.

She lost her temper and said, "You are biased, mom, you are biased, even my cousin is biased."

He heard it all.

Lu Yang's aunt said with a bitter face:

"Xiao Qi, you misunderstood me. How could I be partial to someone?
Well, Mom has done her best. Why don’t you go find your elder brother?

Listen to my mother, it's okay to go to the factory to learn some skills. When you have learned the skills, you can find your cousin and ask him to find a good job for you. Isn't it the same?"

It’s okay not to say it.

The mention of Lu Youxin made me even angrier.

She slammed the table in the main hall and said, "Mom, what do you know? My cousin's business has been handed over to my eldest brother to manage. The business in the city has also been handed over to my third brother. Even the Yangcheng branch thousands of miles away is also in charge of my sixth brother. I just want to follow my cousin now. If he wants to go to the city, I will follow him to the city. If he says he wants to go to Shanghai, I will follow him to a big city like Shanghai to see the world. Then he can promote me and arrange for me to be a factory director or something. Isn't this too much?"

“But he actually threw me to my elder brother and asked me to learn from him. What should I learn?
Learning to drive a truck?

Learn to operate a sewing machine and become a good tailor?
Is there any future in that?
If he really wanted to train me and promote me in the future, he should not have arranged for me to learn these useless things. Humph, he really thinks I am a three-year-old child and that I don’t understand. Is he preparing to give up on me?
That’s how he treated Fifth Brother back then.”

Having said that, he slammed the octagonal table in the hall.

Seeing this, Lu Yang's aunt advised him, "Don't think like that. Your cousin may think that it's a pity that you are studying well and you don't want to continue studying. Otherwise, since your work is not going well, why don't you go back to school?"

She still thought, it would be great if the Lu family could produce a college student in this generation.

But Lu Youxin didn't want to hear that. He said impatiently, "Mom, stop talking. I know whether I should continue to study or not. It's still winter vacation, right? Here, you give me 100 yuan, and I'll go around the streets and see if I can find a good job through my own efforts."

When Lu Yang's aunt heard that he wanted money, she quickly tightened her belt and shook her head and said, "No, I don't have any money. This money is what I saved up. I have to keep it for medical treatment. My blood pressure is a little high recently. You need to find a job, so you need so much money. How about this, I'll give you 1 yuan?"

Lu Youxin shouted with disdain on his face: "One dollar, what can one dollar do? It's not even enough for me to go ice skating, play billiards, or watch a movie all night.

And don't lie, mom. You saved every penny you wanted. This money was given to you by your eldest, third, and sixth brothers. The New Year is coming soon, and they will definitely give you another sum of money soon. Why did you save so much money? I don't care. I just want one hundred yuan. When I find a good job, I don't need you to help me save money to marry a wife. I can save money to marry a wife myself."

Lu Yang's aunt was a little overwhelmed by her son's words.

I don’t know whether I should give it or not.

At this moment, she just took out a folded floral handkerchief from her trouser pocket, which contained the money she had saved for her retirement.

So, should I pay 1 yuan or 100 yuan?
Bring it to you.

"Mom, I can do it myself."

The young man's hands and feet were so quick that in the blink of an eye the floral scarf in his aunt's hand disappeared and fell into Lu Youxin's hands.

He was true to his word. He said he would take 100, and he only took 100.

He didn't want any more, so he took out 100 yuan and put it in his pocket, then wrapped the rest in a floral handkerchief and threw it to his mother.

"Oh, you unlucky boy, you don't learn good things, but only follow your fifth brother. My money, give it back to me."

Wait until Lu Youxin runs far away.

Lu Yang's aunt started crying and shouting.
