Chapter 34 I'm sorry to the Lu family

Shen Cuifen fired off like a machine gun, leaving Yang Juanhua speechless.

She was talking until her face turned pale and then red, and she couldn't breathe properly.

"You, you..."

Yang Juanhua's face turned bright red with anxiety, her lips trembled, and she frantically pointed her finger, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Finally, she angrily threw down the pot lid, turned around abruptly, and stumbled back onto the stool.

Lu Xiuwei was already used to this scene.

This kind of scene was nothing out of the ordinary for her.

Yesterday's situation was even more chaotic than today's.

However, Lu Xiuye's reaction was completely different.

Shocked, he could barely close his mouth, staring in disbelief at everything that was happening before his eyes.

"Mom! You've really turned your life around! You've gone from being so meek and submissive to being the one in charge!"

Indeed, in Lu Xiuye's memory, Shen Cuifen would never have spoken so loudly before.

Hearing her daughter's words, Shen Cuifen deliberately put on a stern face, but her eyes were full of smiles as she said, "Stop talking nonsense, you child. Go back to your room and do your homework properly! Don't call me for help if you haven't finished your homework by dark."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Xiuye ​​dared not argue back and immediately turned around and went back into the house.

As for Shen Cuifen, she did not linger any longer.

I carefully put each pair of shoes I brought back into the closet, and even locked the door to prevent the children from rummaging through them.

Immediately afterwards, she turned and went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

On the other side of the room.

Lu Fuquan and his son Lu Weidong were just arguing heatedly about housework.

But they heard footsteps outside.

It was Shen Cuifen and her two daughters who returned.

The two immediately lowered their voices.

Lu Fuquan looked up at the commotion outside the door.

"Alright, my mom and eldest sister are back, so stop making a fuss. Let the second and third brothers do the washing! I'm not doing it."

He looked unhappy and dissatisfied.

He muttered to himself, becoming increasingly annoyed with each passing thought.

I am a grown man, working in the fields all day long.

When I get home, I still have to wash those smelly diapers. What kind of behavior is that!

If my neighbors find out, they'll laugh at me to death.

When Lu Weidong heard Shen Cuifen enter the room, his face, which had relaxed a little, tensed up again, and he felt a little uneasy.

Those few blows still cause me a slight ache when I think about them.

The thought of how my wife had disciplined me yesterday still lingers.

"What's the big deal about helping wash the sheets? If I hadn't been injured, I wouldn't be begging you for help!"

Lu Fuquan frowned and complained impatiently, "But I've been working in the fields all day, and now I have to do all this when I get home? Are you being unreasonable? Can't you ask Zhongping and Fuhua to do it? If not, you can ask my aunt to help!"

He said it, but he knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind.

Zhongping and Fuhua had long since disappeared, and no one knew where they had slipped away to hide again.

They must have known that the work was tiring and they were afraid of the trouble, so they found an excuse to escape early on.

Upon hearing this, Lu Weidong flew into a rage, his face turning bright red.

He slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Stop trying to fob me off with these words! When you said you wanted to get married, why didn't you make excuses about not having money! If you weren't after someone else's wife, would you have been able to bring her into the family? You didn't refuse when you had the means, so why do you have a bunch of excuses now that you're washing the sheets! If they were here, would I even need to come to you?"

Lu Fuquan was speechless after being confronted, but he still stubbornly tried to defend himself.

“But that aunt is an outsider after all. She can’t come to our house to wash things every day, can she? We can’t keep asking her to do this favor.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Weidong frowned even more deeply.

"So you're afraid of her now? You weren't like this before. Fine, I'll go find those two brats and bring them back, okay?!"

"Bullshit! I'm afraid of her? If I hadn't drunk so much, I would have definitely taught her a lesson today!"

After saying that, Lu Fuquan was too lazy to continue arguing; he was very annoyed.

Without saying a single unnecessary word, he simply got up, pushed back his chair, and walked toward the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Shen Cuifen sat in front of the stove, diligently tending the fire.

She held firewood in one hand to add fuel to the fire, and picked freshly picked vegetables with the other.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiuwei was cooking by the stove, and the aroma of food wafted from the pot.

Shen Cuifen has already made it very clear.

Tonight I'll only cook for the three of them.

She was in a good mood today because she made a lot of money selling things. In her happiness, she wanted to treat herself and the children, so she cut a big piece of cured meat out of the oil jar to improve everyone's meals.

"Mom! Are we having cured meat?"

Lu Fuquan poked his head out from the doorway, a smile on his face.

But upon hearing this, Shen Cuifen simply lowered her head and continued with her work.

Without even lifting his eyelids, he remained focused on selecting vegetables.

Seeing how cold his mother was to him.

Lu Fuquan felt a little annoyed, feeling that he had lost face by being ignored.

But he didn't want to do the laundry today, nor did he want to cause any trouble, so he had to suppress his temper and pretend to be a reasonable person.

"Mom, let me help you start the fire, and I can also help you pick out the vegetables while I'm at it."

As he spoke, he squatted down next to Shen Cuifen.

Get out of my way!

Shen Cuifen didn't even look up, her tone clearly showing disdain.

She gets angry whenever she sees Lu Fuquan's face.

Memories from my past life surfaced in my mind.

Lu Fuquan just watched helplessly as she was left to die in the wilderness, without ever reaching out to save her even once.

At that time, in order to raise that expensive dowry for him.

Shen Cuifen worked desperately to barely survive that ordeal.

She thought she had sacrificed everything and would earn his gratitude in return.

And what was the result?

Instead of receiving any reward, they were treated even more harshly.

If she made even the slightest mistake, Lu Fuquan would immediately blame her for all the mess at home.

They said that if she hadn't refused to take another beating that day, her family wouldn't have gotten into that mess.

She even said that all the changes in the family were caused by her.

Shen Cuifen truly felt sorry for the Lu family and carried a deep sense of guilt in her heart.

Later, after Zheng Mingyue got into trouble, she couldn't spare the time to sell shoes anymore, so she had to go back to her old job of buying and selling chickens.

Every day before dawn, they have to go out and travel to the surrounding villages and towns to collect, slaughter, and sell chickens.

I'm not afraid of wind and sun, all for the sake of this family.

But all the money she worked so hard to earn ended up in Lu Fuquan's pocket.

It can be said that she transferred all the maternal love she had for other children to the brothers Lu Fuquan and Lu Xiuwei.

It was precisely because of her hard work that this was achieved.
