Chapter 23 Immoral and Degrading

"After we finish cooking and feeding the pigs and chickens, you can come with me to the county town."

Lu Xiuwei was taken aback by these words, and looked up at Shen Cuifen in confusion, asking, "Mom, what are we going to the county town for? Aren't we going to get Fuhua up to study?"

Shen Cuifen didn't explain much, but just snorted lightly and said with a hint of disdain, "What are you yelling about? Isn't that old man still sleeping in the house? He's not dead, so why should we worry about him! What difference does it make whether he goes to school or not!"

Lu Xiuwei nodded after hearing this and obediently agreed without asking any further questions.

After the two finished their simple breakfast and fed the pigs and chickens in the pen, they went out together.

When the sun gradually gets stronger and makes people's bottoms feel hot.

Only then did Lu Fuhua's scream, uttered after he suddenly woke up, come from the room.

"Dad! Why didn't you wake me up for school! I'm late!"

Old Mrs. Zhao's voice came from inside the house first.

"Weidong, your dad pooped on the bed again this morning! Hurry up and clean it up!"

The Lu family was in complete chaos, with everyone busy with their own things.

Shen Cuifen and Lu Xiuwei had already quietly left the house.

Today is Saturday, which happens to be the day when Lu Xiuye ​​Middle School lets out for the holidays and students go home.

Along the way, Shen Cuifen kept considering all the possible scenarios in her mind. Finally, she decided not to hesitate any longer and simply pulled Lu Xiuwei to the school gate to pick up the person.

After picking up the person, we'll go into town together to take care of our own business.

The two didn't wait long at the school gate before they saw a familiar figure slowly walking out of the gate.

It was a thin figure. She was wearing an old shirt that was almost gray from washing, and two long braids were tied together at the back of her head.

It was Lu Xiuye.

Looking at this face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Shen Cuifen couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

That year, Lu Xiuye, still young, passed away suddenly.

Not far away, Lu Xiuye ​​and several classmates walked out of the school gate.

Everyone around her looked relaxed and happy, but there wasn't a trace of a smile on her face.

Just then, someone called out, "Xiuye! Xiuye! Look over here!"

Lu Xiuwei excitedly stood on tiptoe and waved in that direction.

She shouted loudly, almost as if she was afraid Lu Xiuye ​​wouldn't see her.

Lu Xiuye ​​looked up and immediately recognized the two familiar figures standing outside the school gate.

Mother Shen Cuifen and elder sister Lu Xiuwei.

She was a little surprised for a moment, and after pausing to make sure she hadn't misheard or misread, she happily told her classmate, "My mom and sister are here to pick me up, so I'm off now!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already started running towards them.

"Mom! Sister!"

She ran up to her, panting, and asked a question.

But before he could finish speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on the gauze on Chen Cuifen's head.

The smile vanished instantly, replaced by shock.

"Mom! Did Dad hit me again?!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Cuifen immediately stepped forward and firmly grasped her daughter's hand.

As long as a person is alive, there is still hope.

"He did it."

She nodded, her tone calm.

"But don't worry, I'll beat him up too, then we'll be even."

Seeing Lu Xiuye ​​looking at him with suspicion.

Shen Cuifen quickly added a sentence.

Lu Xiuye ​​hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Xiuwei, her eyes full of questions.

She only began to believe it somewhat after her sister nodded in agreement.

But she still couldn't help but whisper and scold, "What's this talk of settling scores! Haven't you been beaten enough since you were a child? You should have completely broken ties with him a long time ago!"

After saying that, she was so angry that her face turned red.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, her expression hardened, and she immediately leaned down close to Shen Cuifen's ear, lowering her voice to continue, "Mom, do you know about my dad's affair with that wicked woman Zhou Wenjuan? Is that why he took action?"

Lu Xiuye's eyes showed a hint of fear.

She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her expression contorted.

"What did you say?!"

Shen Cuifen suddenly looked up, her voice rising several octaves.

Her brows furrowed into a deep frown, and her eyes swirled with surprise and panic.

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

Shen Cuifen suddenly raised her voice, startling the mother and daughter.

It started as a tentative, low-voiced conversation.

But then a rhetorical question caused an uproar.

How could Xiuye ​​know about this?

A storm raged in Shen Cuifen's heart.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through the back of my head.

She was sweating profusely, but she forced herself to suppress her discomfort.

Lu Xiuye ​​realized she had let something slip and immediately covered her mouth.

Her eyes widened and her lips parted slightly.

She wanted to explain something, but she didn't know how to take back her unintentional words.

Lu Xiuwei quickly helped Shen Cuifen up.

"Are you alright, Mom?"

She carefully observed her mother's expression, afraid of noticing any unusual changes.

Shen Cuifen shook her head, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Xiuye, what did you see, right?"

She desperately wanted to find out the truth.

Although surprised, Lu Xiuwei was more worried about Shen Cuifen, and quickly winked at Lu Xiuye.

That was a mother's unique way of warning, and it conveyed a profound meaning at that moment.

Let's stop talking about this.

"Mom, don't listen to Xiuye's nonsense. How could she know these things?"

Lu Xiuwei quickly smoothed things over.

She deliberately emphasized the words "going to school every day".

No matter what has happened at home, we must not let Shen Cuifen suffer any more shocks.

Even though she knew that what her sister said wasn't unfounded.

But the current situation leaves no room for arguments or emotional fluctuations.

Given her current state, she is truly capable of fighting Lu Weidong to the death.

The mother is highly likely to take extreme actions if she is even slightly provoked.

The memory of Shen Cuifen fainting yesterday sent shivers down her spine.

The image of her fainting yesterday is still haunting me.

Lu Xiuwei was terrified that something would happen to her, and that she would lose her.

She vividly remembers that fear.

"Oh right, Mom, I was just guessing, I didn't see anything."

Seeing that Lu Xiuye ​​understood her meaning, Lu Xiuwei breathed a sigh of relief.

My long-tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Shen Cuifen suppressed her anger and forced a smile.

"Yeah, that's true. Xiuye ​​goes to school every day, how could she know so much?"

But at that moment, she wished she could find a knife and chop Lu Weidong up.

Countless scenes of revenge had already flashed through my mind.

She already knew very well what Lu Xiuwei had just mentioned.

Details that Wang Qiongying inadvertently revealed in her early years are now clearly emerging.

After Lu Weidong passed away in her previous life, Wang Qiongying was worried that Shen Cuifen would not be able to accept it, so she told her about her relationship with Lu Weidong.

The two of them were naked and entangled together in the cornfield.

It just so happens that Wang Qiongying bumped into him that day.

I witnessed this scene with my own eyes at that time, and I felt a loud bang in my ears.

That feeling of shock made my chest tighten and I couldn't breathe.

And looking back now, it's still so vivid.

He did such a scandalous and disgraceful thing, and then let his young daughter see it.
