"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
"Yes, aunt, what happened to you? Why are there wounds all over your face?"
"Cousin, what happened?"
"Is there another conflict with the Xie family?"
——People from the Lu family, that is, relatives and friends of the Lu family are here!
Mother Lu and Lin Huihui subconsciously covered their faces, but then realized that their action was very funny and quickly put their hands down.
Father Lu closed the door and looked at Mother Lu and Lin Huihui with a wry smile: "I was waiting for you here just to tell you that all the uncles, aunts and brothers are here, but you didn't give me a chance to speak..."
Mother Lu and Lin Huihui were very embarrassed, but they couldn't vent their feelings, and their faces turned more vivid than a color palette.
When the people of the Lu family saw the look on Mother Lu's face, they became unhappy: "You Qing family, what does your expression mean? Do you not welcome us?"
Mother Lu laughed awkwardly: "Second Uncle, what are you talking about? How could I not welcome you?"
Uncle Lu was a very prestigious person in the Lu clan. Hearing this, he snorted and said meaningfully, "I thought you guys became rich through business and no longer recognized us poor relatives!"
Speaking of "business", the expressions of Lu's mother and Lin Huihui froze.
No one noticed their strange behavior. Second Uncle said, "Since you are not unwelcome, then come in and sit for a while."
After entering the main hall, the members of the Lu clan, led by the second uncle, turned friendly towards Lu's mother and Lin Huihui: "Youqing family, what happened to you? Why did you come back with injuries on your face?"
Mother Lu and Lin Huihui did not want others to know about their scandal. Lin Huihui did not answer and let Mother Lu deal with it herself.
Mother Lu's mind worked very quickly, and she quickly found an excuse, tears welling up in her eyes: "On our way back, we met thieves, who beat us up and took our money!"
She thought that the people from the Lu clan came to borrow money, and she was secretly delighted. This excuse of hers could not only explain why they were so injured, but also politely refuse the people from the Lu clan's request to borrow money!
Sure enough, when the members of the Lu clan heard that they had been robbed, they were all furious and cursed the robbers for a full half hour.
In order to deal with them, Mother Lu and Lin Huihui pretended to be very pitiful, but they were impatient to deal with so many people, and quickly wiped their tears and sighed:
"Well, forget it. It's our fault that they robbed us. We were careless and didn't know how to hide the money we earned, so we were targeted... Forget calling the police. We're afraid they'll retaliate against us... Uncles, uncles, and brothers, we've been through a lot today and we're really tired. Why don't we just leave it at that for today?"
It seemed like the members of the Lu family didn't understand what Mother Lu meant. Their butts stayed glued to the stools, and no one stood up.
The second uncle said, "Youqing family, you were robbed today. I think it was because the thieves saw you women doing business and thought you were easy to bully, so they came after you! If there were men doing business with you, they probably wouldn't dare to target you."
The news of selling overnight braised food has spread, and it is still unknown whether he will be able to go out and sell braised food in the future.
Mother Lu was irritable, but she said patiently: "There are only four men in our family. The eldest and the second son are not with us. Youqing has to take care of the family, and Dingyuan has a formal job and is injured, so he can't go with us. Only the three of us women can go together..."
She said, "We are also scared after something like this happened. Our business will be suspended for a while."
Lin Huihui immediately looked at Lu's mother with praise. The old woman had a good reaction and found a perfect excuse for them.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing that their business would be suspended for a while, the people of the Lu clan were even more excited than them: "Shutting down the business? How can that be possible?"
Lu's mother Lin Huihui was confused: "Why not?"
"Of course we can't stop making money!" a middle-aged man said as a matter of course.
"But we..." Mother Lu wanted to say that they were scared because they were robbed and didn't dare to do business for the time being, but she was interrupted before she finished speaking:
"We know you were robbed today, and you're scared now. It's normal that you don't dare to go out and do business. But don't worry, we will go with you in the future and protect you!"
"That's right! We in the Lu clan are short of money and food, but we are not short of people, especially men! From now on, we men will accompany you to do business together! Let's see who dares to rob you!"
"Yes, we have strength in numbers! If anyone dares to steal our things, we'll beat him up!"
…Everyone in the Lu clan was talking to each other, united in indignation and full of righteousness.
But Lu's mother and Lin Huihui were dumbfounded.
They finally figured out why the Lu clan members gathered at the Lu family today—
They thought they made money from the braised food business and wanted to get a piece of the pie!
