They had dinner early that day. Lu Ye went to wash the dishes, and the two of them went home eagerly to watch the show.
The atmosphere in the Lu family was frighteningly low at the moment. The meal had not been cooked yet. Lin Manyun sat there wiping her tears, looking very aggrieved.
Lu Desheng was also sitting there, his face looking murderous.
After finishing his work, he went home and asked Lin Manyun to take out the family savings to make up for the deficit for Lu Chuncao. Although more than 3,000 yuan was not a small amount, he paid Lin Manyun 250 yuan in salary every month. After so many years, the savings must be more than 3,000 yuan.
Who would have thought that Lin Manyun actually said that the family only had 300 yuan in savings, and even took out the passbook to show him, and there was indeed only 300 yuan.
He is a commander of a military district, but he only has 300 yuan in savings. He will be laughed at to death!
He asked where the money had gone, and Lin Manyun said she had spent it on eating and drinking, which made him even angrier.
The family doesn't have big fish and meat every day, and the number of times he eats at home is limited. Lu Ye hasn't been eating here for a few years, and he's often hungry. How is it possible that he can eat up all the food every month?
Lin Manyun didn't tell the truth at all, and Lu Desheng suspected that she spent the money on her parents' home.
"I have no objection to you spending money on your family, but you have to prioritize. My son is not well fed at your place, but you feed your family quite well. Lin Manyun, you really impress me!"
Lu Desheng was so angry that he even learned to use idioms, and now he believed what Lu Ye said.
This kid had a quarrel with Lu Chuncao before because Lu Chuncao poisoned him.
This rebellious son clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and would not go crazy for no reason. It is obvious that Lin Manyun really abused Xiao Ye. Damn it, how dare this woman!
"Old Lu, have you listened to Lu Ye's nonsense again? When did I starve him? There are so many people at home to eat and drink, and there are also interpersonal relationships. The two hundred and fifty yuan you gave is not gold. How can it be so easy to spend? My parents didn't spend my money. Sometimes I was short of money and asked my parents for money!"
Lin Manyun cried with tears in her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.
This trick had always worked in the past, but today Lu Desheng felt a little disgusted. When he looked at Lin Manyun, he suddenly thought of the White Bone Demon. She was obviously a blood-sucking demon, but she pretended to be innocent to deceive Tang Seng, and also caused Tang Seng and Sun Wukong to become estranged, and drove him away.
In the end, Tang Seng was kidnapped by the White Bone Demon and almost lost his life. Fortunately, Sun Wukong came to save him regardless of past grudges. This gave rise to the legend of the Three Defeats of the White Bone Demon.
The more Lu Desheng thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Manyun was the White Bone Demon. She had sucked his blood for so many years and all his money was gone.
"You know very well whether you have starved my son or not. Don't shed your rat tears in front of me, Lin Manyun, go to your mother's house now. Whether you borrow or take, you must get me 3,700 yuan. I want it tonight!"
Lu Desheng looked at him with disgust and spoke very rudely.
He was sure that the money was at Lin Manyun's parents' home. It was impossible for so much money to be spent completely, so it must still be there.
"Old Lu, are you trying to kill me? I've really spent all my money. Where can I get so much money?"
Lin Manyun cried even more sadly, but she felt anxious in her heart.
Lu Desheng is very difficult to appease today. Could it be that bitch Ruan Qiqi’s fault again?
Lin Manyun suppressed her inner fear and insisted that she had no money. Over the years, she had saved 20,000 yuan in private money, which she had long regarded as her own money. How could she possibly take it out to make up for Lu Chuncao's deficit?
Lu Desheng's face turned even darker, and he suppressed his inner irritation. He would go to Jiangcheng for a meeting in a few days, and he wanted to deal with Lu Chuncao's family affairs before the meeting, and then resign from the General Military Region.
Lu Chuncao's family committed such a big mistake because they relied on his power. He had an unshirkable responsibility and was too ashamed to be the commander anymore. After resigning, he went to the cadre school for labor reform to improve his consciousness.
"We're back!"
Ruan Qiqi's cheerful voice was heard in the yard.
In the past, Lin Manyun would feel a pain in her heart when she heard this sound, but at this moment, she felt that it was the sound of nature. She wished that Ruan Qiqi would go crazy and divert Lu Desheng's attention.
"Xiao Ye, Qiqi is back. Have you eaten yet? I'll go cook!"
Lin Manyun was particularly enthusiastic.
"What a strange thing! The sun sets in the east?"
As soon as Lu Ye reached the door, he ran out to watch the sunset in surprise, then ran back and said sarcastically, "The sun still sets in the west, but my stepmother actually took the initiative to cook for me. Tsk tsk tsk... It's really a rare thing!"
"Xiao Ye, what are you talking about? I did it for you before, otherwise you would be starving at home!"
Lin Manyun couldn't laugh anymore. She gritted her teeth and confronted him in a neither soft nor hard manner.
"I didn't drink the northwest wind, I was just so hungry that I ate grass. Fortunately, my mother loved me and often invited me to her house for dinner, otherwise I would have starved to death!"
Lu Ye snorted coldly and told him all the sufferings he had endured in his childhood.
Because Qiqi told him that now that the old man had begun to suspect Lin Manyun, it was a good time to file a complaint.
Lu Desheng felt uncomfortable, and he understood something else. No wonder Xiao Ye called Sister Guan "mother" and had a good relationship with Manzai. It turned out that there was such a reason.
He also remembered one thing. Sister Guan had spoken to him earnestly several times before, asking him to pay more attention to Xiao Ye and not to abandon him and leave everything to Lin Manyun.
At that time, he was so busy that his heels were smoking. He had no time to take care of his family and had no time to think about the implied meaning of Sister Guan. Now that he thinks about it, Sister Guan was pointing at him!
Lu Desheng's eyes became guilty and he looked towards Lu Ye.
Lu Ye snorted again and turned his head away.
Qiqi is right, belated guilt is cheaper than grass!
He doesn't want it!
"Forget it, I won't argue with you about this. I'm your stepmother anyway, so no matter what I do, it's wrong. Whatever you say, I'll go cook!"
Lin Manyun smiled self-deprecatingly, put on an apron and went to the kitchen.
But after arriving in the kitchen, her expression immediately turned vicious. When she was cutting vegetables, she wished that the vegetables in her hands were Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi, so that she could cut them into pieces!
"Dad, there's still a lot of money left for my eldest sister. Lu Ye and I don't have much money. I haven't been working, and Lu Ye has spent all his previous salary. Fortunately, I received some red envelopes a few days ago. Unfortunately, I bought a bicycle and I still have 200 left. You can use it to make up for the shortfall!"
Ruan Qiqi took out twenty big unity notes from his pocket and handed them to Lu Desheng with both hands.
"Two hundred yuan is enough for me to eat a lot of meat. I didn't get to eat meat at Lu Chuncao's house, and now I have to make up for her deficit. It's really unlucky."
Lu Ye started to make sarcastic remarks.
Lu Desheng did not take the money. The bastard was right. Lu Chuncao had already poisoned the food, so he really shouldn't have let his son pay for it.
"Dad, please accept it. We are a family and should stick together through thick and thin. Although two hundred yuan is not much, it is a small token of appreciation from Lu Ye and me."
Ruan Qiqi stuffed the money into Lu Desheng's hand and spoke with great sincerity, which would surely move the old man to death and allow him to get more money back.
That’s right, these two hundred dollars are bait, she wants to catch a big fish!
Lu Desheng was indeed very moved, and his throat was a little choked up. It is true that one's true character is revealed in times of adversity.
In comparison, Lin Manyun looks even more hideous!
