Chapter 60 Calling for Reinforcements
"Look what you've done! You beat my nephew up like this, his face is covered in bruises, and even his eyes are swollen!"
"You're absolutely heartless! What kind of cruel daughter-in-law are you?!"
"Other people's wives are dutiful to their parents-in-law and serve their husbands, but you're the opposite—you lay hands on them and turned the whole family upside down!"
“I don’t need to ask anyone else. Even if I asked your father-in-law, he would have to thank me for helping him discipline his daughter-in-law!”
Lu Qide stood up straight, as if he were the true head of the Lu family.
"I'm acting on behalf of Heaven! I'm cleaning up the Lu family's mess!"
Before Lu Guirun could finish speaking, Lu Qiming's roar suddenly came from inside the room—
The voice was hoarse yet powerful, striking the ears of everyone outside like a thunderclap.
"Lu Qide! You bastard!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you yell at me in front of my house?!"
"I'm still alive! This house hasn't collapsed yet, I, Lu Qiming, am still breathing, and you dare to overstep your bounds?!"
"Who gives you the right to come to my house and tell me what to do?!"
This rebuke was delivered with force, carrying the authority and anger of the older generation.
"Since when did it become your place, you old codger, to meddle in the affairs of the Lu family?!"
"Cough cough cough..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he burst into a violent cough.
Yang Juanhua's face darkened, and her brows furrowed into a deep frown.
He cursed inwardly, "You old bastard, you deserve to cough yourself to death!"
She gritted her teeth, her eyes dark, and scurried into the house.
She didn't want Lu Qiming to continue spouting nonsense.
Otherwise, this matter would be impossible to suppress!
Shen Cuifen sneered, a mocking smile curving her lips.
"If you weren't deaf, you should have heard me clearly—"
She pointed to the closed door and said, word by word:
"My father-in-law told you to mind your own business!"
"He said it very clearly and plainly, why are you pretending not to hear it?"
"You can't even sort out your own mess—your son drinks and gambles all day, your daughter-in-law threatens divorce every other day, and your grandson dropped out of school before finishing elementary school and is now roaming the streets!"
"Everyone in the neighborhood knows about your family's messy affairs. Everyone laughs at you."
"You have the nerve to come to my house and act all high and mighty? To interfere in my family affairs?"
"Do you think you're a saint who descended to earth specifically to save us 'sinners'?"
"Look at how anxious you are."
Shen Cuifen narrowed her eyes, her tone becoming increasingly sarcastic.
"His face was flushed, and the veins in his neck were bulging. He looked like he wanted to rush in and stand up for Lu Weidong!"
Outsiders might think Lu Weidong is your illegitimate son and Yang Juanhua is your lover!
Upon hearing this, the onlookers gasped in shock.
That's really harsh. It dragged the relationship between Lu Guirun and Yang Juanhua into the most unpleasant direction!
Shen Cuifen was no longer willing to tolerate it.
Since you all want to make an example of me, then don't blame me for being impolite!
She, Shen Cuifen, is not someone to be trifled with, much less a stepping stone to be trampled on!
She's going to expose everything about this today, making sure everyone sees the truth.
Who is putting on an act, and who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes?
"You...you..."
Lu Qide pointed at her with a trembling finger, his lips shaking.
He wanted to refute, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Less than a minute later, Yang Juanhua came out again and closed the door tightly.
I wonder how she dealt with that stubborn old man inside the house.
Whether it's coaxing or deceiving, suppressing or beating, nobody knows.
When she came out, she saw that Lu Guirun had been silenced by her rebuttal.
He immediately started yelling at the top of his lungs—
The sound was shrill and sharp, as piercing as a pig being slaughtered.
"Oh my God! What terrible things have I done!"
"I have to take care of my son and my old man at the same time. I have to clean up after him, do laundry and cook for him. I'm always up early and working late."
"Even in my old age, he'll still scold me! He'll despise me! He'll say I'm meddling? Who am I doing this for?!"
"Oh, Mother~ Why am I so unlucky~"
She slapped her thighs with both hands, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Uncle Lu kindly stepped forward to help me get justice, but what happened?"
"That heartless daughter-in-law has smeared me again!"
"She not only beat my son, but also slandered my innocence, saying that I had an improper relationship with my uncle!"
"May I be struck by lightning! I, Yang Juanhua, swear to God that this is absolutely not true!"
Shen Cuifen's eyes twitched violently, her eyelids twitching intensely.
This Yang Juanhua...
Has he lost his mind?
At this age, why are you still putting on a melodramatic act?
As she was talking, she actually started crying!
It also has a drawn-out, convoluted tone, and a single "Niang Ai" can last for half a minute.
Do they really think this is a stage for a grand opera?
Shen Cuifen couldn't help but roll her eyes.
I thought to myself: This old lady is such a waste of her talent not to be a performer in a theater troupe!
Lu Qide rushed forward in three steps and hurriedly reached out to support her shoulder.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry! Don't cry! You're going to make us cry ourselves to death! Look, we're here to support you! Don't be afraid, with us here, no one will dare to bully you!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed forcefully at the person next to him.
It seems that he wanted to show that he was not alone and that he had someone supporting him.
But the two men looked embarrassed, their hands in their pockets, heads bowed and silent.
They were clearly dragged in by him; they didn't actually want to get involved in this family dispute at all.
"Shen Cuifen! Look at what you've done to your mother-in-law! She can barely stand and she's still crying! I'm going to give you a good beating today! You've got some nerve!"
Lu Qide shouted loudly, waving his arms as if to pounce on him.
Shen Cuifen coldly glanced at her two sons.
Seeing that they didn't try to stop them, and even had a gloating look on their faces.
Her last hope for them vanished.
"Uncle! You hit her! I'll take the blame if you hurt her! I'll take the punishment for you!"
While groaning and feigning pain, Lu Weidong didn't forget to fan the flames.
Shen Cuifen stared coldly at Lu Qide, secretly harboring a fierce determination in her heart.
If he dares to lay a finger on her, she will make him regret ever taking this step!
"Grandpa, my mom is not someone to be trifled with, so you'd better watch out! When she gets angry, even Dad can't stop her! You should be careful yourself, and maybe take a stick for self-defense, so you'll have something to rely on if a fight breaks out!"
As Lu Fuquan spoke, he actually picked up a wooden stick used for drying clothes from the corner of the wall and shoved it into Lu Guirun's hand with a grin.
Lu Guirun had just taken it and hadn't even taken two steps forward when his ear was grabbed and twisted hard by a rough and strong hand.
"Lu Guirun, are you tired of living?! Don't you have any respect for the seniority and rules of this family?!"
He turned his head and saw that it was his wife, Li Xiao'e.
Her hair was a little messy, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blazing with anger, and she didn't loosen her grip at all.
When Shen Cuifen looked back, she saw her two daughters, Lu Xiuye and Lu Xiuwei.
The two were panting, clearly having rushed over from afar, with fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.
She immediately understood: her two daughters were worried she would be taken advantage of, so they secretly went to their parents' home to ask for help.
