Chapter 406 Jealousy

Lu Jiaxin knew that Second Sister-in-law Lu wished to treat her three sons equally; however, it was exceedingly difficult to be impartial. As the sons had grown and needed to take wives, each of those daughters-in-law had their own desires, and it was impossible to satisfy all their demands. Second Sister-in-law Lu's seemingly fair approach was actually premised on Lu Shan's extra contributions.

In the past, Jiaxin would not have intervened, for it was a matter concerning the small household of Lu Jiazong. Besides, in the hearts of many from the older generation, it was believed that being the eldest meant bearing more responsibilities. But now that Shanzi had been adopted into the third branch of the family, and the child was honest and sincere, Jiaxin couldn't bear to see him taken advantage of.
