Chapter 84 Using underhanded tactics
He was convinced that Lu Zhongping was to blame for all of this.
If it weren't for that slap, he wouldn't have lost his hair, wouldn't have cried out in pain for his grandma, and wouldn't have ended up in such a shameful state.
This is it, everything is ruined!
Mu Xiang will definitely think he's a scoundrel. How will she ever face anyone again?
His mind was filled with Mu Xiang's terrified expression.
He had liked Muxiang for a long time but never dared to confess his feelings, hoping to find an opportunity to naturally get closer to her.
But now, people probably want to stay as far away from him as possible, and they'll avoid him whenever they see him.
Lu Zhongping rolled his eyes.
How was I supposed to know she'd come at this time?
He spread his hands and looked at the crowd with an innocent expression.
Just as Lu Zhonghe was about to lose his temper, he suddenly heard Li Fangfang's wailing behind him.
The crying was sharp and long, with a hint of tantrum, as if the person had suffered a great injustice.
"Ouch! Lu Zhonghe! You damned little bastard! You almost killed me! My old bones are about to fall apart!"
She sat on the ground, one hand supporting her waist, the other slapping her thigh, her face covered in tears and snot.
She was really in pain; she had been pushed so hard that the back of her head hit the threshold and her bottom slammed on the stone slab.
At this moment, every part of my body aches.
Li Fangfang sat on the ground, clutching her buttocks with one hand, her face pale with pain.
Her hair was half-undone, and her shoes were nowhere to be seen.
She cried and cursed at the same time, her voice rising higher and higher.
"I raised you with so much difficulty, and this is how you repay me? What sins have I committed!"
"What are you two standing there for! Come and help me up!"
She roared at Lu Fuquan and Lu Guilin, tears streaming down her face.
"I can't count on either of them! I might as well just kill myself!"
She was extremely angry.
It felt like there hadn't been a single peaceful day in the house since Shen Cuifen entered.
Although we were poor before, our home was quiet.
Now things are really messy, chaotic every day.
In her heart, Shen Cuifen was a jinx who ruined her perfectly good family.
Lu Guilin himself was in so much pain that he couldn't walk.
Where would I find the extra energy to help others?
Finally, Lu Fuquan sighed.
Then he went over and helped Yang Juanhua up from the ground.
Just then, a few more people walked up from the ridge in front of them.
Upon hearing the commotion, Lu Guilin immediately endured the pain and staggered towards his home.
He knew in his heart that there was no point in saying anything now.
You'll only be ridiculed even more.
We can settle this score once we've calmed down.
Lu Fuquan helped Yang Juanhua and they slowly walked back step by step.
Yang Juanhua walked with a limp, occasionally letting out a suppressed groan.
Lu Fuquan supported her with one hand.
He kept glancing at Lu Guilin's departing figure with one hand.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes—
There was anger, and also an indescribable weariness.
But right now, we can't worry about anything else; getting the person home safely is the most important thing.
Zhao Daquan stood at the edge of the field, staring at the three figures as they walked away into the distance.
Then he smacked his lips.
The scene was even more exciting than watching a play.
He stumbled upon a whole host of incidents: physical altercations, a falling out between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and a falling out between brothers!
Wang Qiongying was absolutely right to call him to the fields today!
It's a pity that Wang Qiongying didn't come in person.
I completely missed this big show.
Zhao Daquan snapped out of his thoughts, shouldered his tools, and ran home as fast as he could.
Who in the whole village wouldn't be interested in this fresh and hot gossip?
But in his heart, the one he should listen to the most is Wang Qiongying.
Yang Juanhua and her two grandsons entered their yard one after the other.
The courtyard was quiet, with only the rustling of the wind through the leaves.
Shen Cuifen sat on a small stool under the eaves, without even raising her head.
He kept his head down, busy with his work.
Lu Guizhen, however, noticed something was wrong.
She glanced around and her gaze settled on Lu Guilin.
His face was pale and he was walking strangely, as if he had suffered some serious injury.
Looking at Lu Fuquan again, his brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy, quite different from usual.
The two stood together, the atmosphere heavy.
It was as if a fierce battle had just taken place; even the air seemed to have frozen.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that there's another fight at home?
Did the two brothers fight?
But then I thought about it again, and realized that I had also suffered a great injustice yesterday.
She was clearly wronged, but no one spoke up for her.
Why should she be expected to take the initiative to care now?
Let's just pretend we didn't see anything.
Anyway, those guys are pretty tough.
She didn't want to get involved as long as no one died.
Lu Guilin stormed into the house, his steps heavy and filled with anger.
As soon as he entered, he raised his hand and slammed the door shut.
Lu Guilin leaned against the door, panting heavily.
"Lu Fuquan! You just wait! Once I recover, I'll make you taste this bitterness too!"
Lu Guilin's voice was full of resentment and hatred.
Lu Fuquan helped Yang Juanhua walk directly to Shen Cuifen.
After he stopped, he looked into Shen Cuifen's eyes.
"Mom, we need to separate the family! If we don't, someone will die sooner or later!"
Immediately afterwards, Yang Juanhua also spoke.
"Shen Cuifen, where is my son? Where did you hide him? This isn't over until you explain yourself clearly today!"
Shen Cuifen remained calm and slowly finished sewing the last stitch.
Then break off the thread and throw it back into the sewing basket.
Then he handed the repaired shoes to Lu Guizhen.
He then slowly raised his head, his voice calm.
"We'll separate the assets after the divorce!"
"And where did Lu Jianguo go? You're asking me? I didn't tie him up with a rope!"
Shen Cuifen raised the corners of her mouth, her tone sarcastic.
Having completely broken off all pretense, Shen Cuifen stopped pretending.
She stood ramrod straight, her eyes clear and bright, showing no sign of backing down.
"If I knew where he was, would I need to ask you?"
Yang Juanhua's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"Who knows what tricks you were up to when you said those sarcastic things yesterday!"
Yang Juanhua was frantic with worry because she couldn't find her son.
They didn't care about saving face anymore.
Her son was her only hope; she couldn't lose him.
Shen Cuifen stood up with her head held high, looking down at her.
"If you can't find it, then forget about it!"
"Maybe she eloped with someone else and doesn't want to talk to you, her mother, anymore!"
"Don't worry."
She paused, then her tone became even more cutting.
"If you really run away, I won't stop you. Just accept your fate!"
After saying that, she gave Lu Fuquan a cold glance.
"Don't be afraid, even if your dad doesn't come back, the family can still be divided!"
"At that time, your grandparents will be supported by you two brothers!"
Lu Fuquan, who was holding Yang Juanhua's arm, immediately let go.
