Houpo Brigade, Lujia.
Early in the morning, Lu Zhaokun was sitting at the gate of the courtyard, smoking his pipe.
He wasn't surprised to see the Zhang family coming from the intersection in a menacing manner.
He tapped his pipe, turned around and called out to his wife, telling her to go find the brigade leader.
Anyway, his family is in the right, so they're not afraid of being laughed at by outsiders.
As the group approached, he stood up and greeted them with a smile, "In-laws, why are you here so early in the morning?"
"Pah! Who said we're in-laws? You surnamed Lu, look at the good daughter you raised! She's tormented my Honghua like this!"
Zhang's mother, holding Zhang Honghua's hand, spat at Lu Zhaokun.
"What's wrong with Honghua? It's been almost half a month and she hasn't come over. My Hongmei misses her so much. What's she busy with?"
Lu Zhaokun smiled and pretended not to know anything.
Forehead……
Zhang's mother opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. "Let's go inside and talk."
Holding Honghua's hand, she wanted to go into the courtyard, but it was better to discuss this privately.
"Oh, my dear in-law, let's talk things out here."
Lu Zhaokun took two steps and stopped the two people who were about to enter the courtyard.
He was furious after reading his eldest daughter's letter and didn't want to let that family into his house again.
"Mother, Father, what brings you here?"
Hearing the commotion, Zhang Hongmei came out of the courtyard.
When she saw her younger sister arrive, she was startled and quickly gave her a meaningful look.
"Oh dear, Hongmei, your sister has been bullied! She's been kicked out and now they won't even let her in the door..."
Zhang's mother held her eldest daughter's hand and cried loudly.
Zhang Hongmei was extremely anxious. She quickly pinched her mother's hand, but her mother kept wailing and ignored her completely.
"My dear in-law, alright, let's get down to business. Don't let the rest of the team laugh at us."
Lu Zhaokun took a deep breath, and the smile disappeared from his face.
He picked up the pipe, put in some tobacco, lit it, and started smoking.
At this moment, Yang Cuilan also called for the brigade leader to arrive.
Lu Zhaoguo nodded to everyone, then silently stood to the side.
"Hey Lu, what do you mean?"
When Zhang's mother saw this, she was furious.
"I don't mean anything by it, let's just have a good talk. I want to ask you, my in-laws, how did my daughter torment Honghua?"
"Pah!"
Zhang's mother immediately pulled out the red flower again.
“Your eldest daughter is really something else. My Honghua just wanted to go to Qilian to see her and take care of your pregnant eldest daughter, but she was sent back as soon as she arrived…”
"Oh dear, my Honghua was starving the whole way home. She almost fainted from hunger. She nearly starved to death!"
As Zhang's mother spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears again.
Zhang's two sons were also eager to teach the Lu family a lesson.
"You surnamed Lu, how did you raise your daughter? No matter what, my Hongmei is her second sister-in-law. Honghua came, and this is how she treated her? You have to give me an explanation!"
Lu Zhaokun slowly puffed on his pipe.
Hearing what Zhang's mother said, he almost laughed. This was so upside down, what kind of in-laws had he found?
He sighed and slowly took a letter out of his coat pocket.
“My dear in-law, this is a letter my daughter sent me. But that’s not what she said in the letter.”
Seeing that Zhang's mother was about to say something, Lu Zhaokun waved his hand and said again:
“My daughter said that Honghua from your family ran away secretly. My daughter was worried that you, her in-laws, wouldn’t know, and was afraid that you would worry, so she bought a train ticket and took Honghua to the train station.”
"Before leaving, my daughter cooked a whole table of dishes for her to eat before she left. Afraid that she would go hungry on the way, my daughter also gave her a bag of pancakes..."
Across from her, Zhang Honghua's face flushed red.
She wanted to refute him, but she didn't know how to say it; what the old man said was all true.
But... but she knew that wasn't the case.
“Although my son-in-law is a cadre, his food rations are still limited. My Fangfang is pregnant, and Xiuxiu went to take care of her sister, so there’s one more person. All the food has to be taken from my son-in-law’s mouth. We are all farmers, and we know how precious food is. No one is rich.”
“Even so, my daughter didn’t mistreat Honghua. You say she fainted from hunger when she came back? I don’t believe it.”
Lu Zhaokun shook his head, then took out a letter from the envelope and handed it to the captain.
Besides the letter from his daughter, there was also a greeting from his son-in-law, with his name and the date written on it.
His son-in-law is a deputy regimental commander in the army; he wouldn't lie, or he would be held responsible.
"You...you're talking nonsense! I watched my Honghua faint from hunger right before my eyes! You, surnamed Lu, are bullying me too much! I'll fight you to the death!"
Zhang's mother rolled up her sleeves and beckoned her two sons to come forward.
“Zhao Kun is right, that’s what it says in the letter. He’s his father-in-law. Do you want to take a look?”
Lu Zhaoguo frowned slightly as he looked at Zhang's father with the letter in his hand.
"Pah, it's fake, it's fake, your daughter is definitely lying!"
Zhang's mother was so angry she jumped up and down.
“Not only did my daughter write it on it, but my son-in-law also signed it. My son-in-law is the deputy regimental commander. Is he lying too?”
Lu Zhaokun gave a soft snort.
He pulled another piece of paper from his pocket and looked at Zhang Honghua.
“My dear in-law, I think your daughter is making up lies. She secretly went to Qilian with Xiuxiu. Why did she go? Was she really going to take care of my Fangfang?”
"Pah! My daughter wrote in her letter that your Honghua calls everyone she meets 'Big Brother,' and... she's even looking for some man of company commander rank or higher..."
