Lu Zhaokun spat, too embarrassed to say anything more.

After all, they were Hongmei's family, so he vaguely left them some face.

“My daughter was afraid her in-laws wouldn’t know, so she kindly paid for their train tickets and brought back red flowers, but she never expected it would cause her so much trouble.”

"I wasn't planning on getting the train ticket money back, but with your attitude, I have to take it now!"

"You...you shameless old man, what nonsense are you spouting? I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Zhang's mother panicked and rushed forward, intending to tear Lu Zhaokun's mouth apart.

Beside her, Yang Cuilan was also simmering with anger.

She protected the old man and started tearing at Zhang's mother.

Zhang's two sons were both ashamed and angry.

Hearing their sister being talked about like that, the two of them ran over, wanting to beat the old man up.

"Enough! Do you really think the Lu family is easy to bully?"

Lu Zhaoguo, his face dark, shouted.

There was a big commotion here, and many villagers gathered around to watch the excitement.

He casually beckoned a few people to drag Zhang's two sons aside.

Holding the letter, he walked up to Zhang's father.

"Sigh, his father-in-law is his relative. It's really not good for things to turn out like this. Why don't you take a look at the letter?"

"Fangfang's husband is the deputy regimental commander in the army. If he dares to talk nonsense, you don't even need to lift a finger, I, as the battalion commander, will personally write a letter to the army to report him and make sure he gets his deputy regimental commander position removed!"

Lu Zhaoguo patted his chest and stuffed the letter into Zhang's father's hand.

Zhang's father's lips twitched, then he looked down at the letter again.

He knew his own family best, and he was somewhat skeptical that what was written in the letter was true, but... but his daughter was so weak, she must have really fainted from hunger.

His mind was in turmoil, so he could only look at his daughter, "Honghua, what exactly happened?"

"I...I..."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhang Honghua's forehead.

She glanced around and noticed a large crowd gathered around her, all staring at her.

Now she was even more panicked. If her reputation was ruined, she might not be able to marry a cadre, let alone get married.

Thinking of this, her eyes immediately reddened, and tears began to fall.

"Waaah, my sister made me do all this. She said... she said if Fangfang could find a deputy regimental commander as her lover, then I could too. I didn't want to go, but my sister insisted..."

"My sister even told me when Xiuxiu was taking the train. She made me do all of that, sob sob..."

Zhang Honghua cried with tears streaming down her face.

After saying that, she turned and ran.

"ah?"

Zhang Hongmei was standing at the gate of the courtyard, trying to mediate the fight, when she heard these words.

She looked back and saw that Honghua had run to the alley entrance and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then she looked around and saw that everyone around her was looking at her in surprise.
