This slap shattered the last bit of Lu Xueping's rationality. She no longer remembered her brother or what had gone missing. She wanted to fight to the death with Shen Hongyu.
Lu Xueping rushed forward and wanted to fight with Shen Hongyu. Everyone gasped when they saw this.
Someone said hesitantly, "Should we go up and stop the fight?"
"Let's not pull it, we're afraid they'll do something bad. Let's pull it..." Goudan's mother said helplessly, "Have you forgotten the day when we went to stop the fight and Xiao Shen said we were meddling in other people's business? Don't let this be a thankless task again."
Everyone was a little hesitant for a while, and finally said, "Let's wait and see. If there is really any problem, then go up."
While everyone was talking, Shen Hongyu had already started a fight with Lu Xueping. They used to be friends and had a thorough quarrel.
The fight at this time was not a one-spit-one-one-and-I-curse-one-one-and-that was it. It was a fight between real enemies. Lu Xueping rushed forward and kicked Shen Hongyu directly on the knee, cursing, "You shameless thing, you eat my food, use my things, and now that my brother is gone, you still have the nerve to enjoy yourself at home? I will not kill you today."
"You are just an elder sister-in-law, not my mother-in-law. Besides, even your mother can't control me, so why should you control me?" Shen Hongyu focused on the road and shouted at Lu Xueping's head.
She rounded her arms and slapped Lu Xueping on the face with great force and duration. Everyone saw Lu Xueping's face swelling up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it became as swollen as a pig's head.
Lu Xueping loves her hair the most. She treats it like her own baby and combs it carefully every day.
Shen Hongyu grabbed her hair and pulled it hard, pulling out a large handful of it.
"You dare to pull my hair?!" Lu Xueping touched her head and collapsed on the spot, crying and shouting, "I will ask my brother to divorce you and kick you out! You shrew!"
Lu Xueping was taller than Shen Hongyu. She reached out and grabbed while shouting, and directly scratched three bars on Shen Hongyu's face.
Shen Hongyu also broke down. She usually cared a lot about her reputation in this alley and didn't want Lin Minjun to make fun of her, but now she was fighting with her elder sister-in-law in front of everyone.
The neighbors couldn't stand it anymore when they saw what was happening. They were afraid that something might happen if the fight continued, so someone came to pull Lu Xueping back and said, "Comrade, calm down. The most important thing right now is that your brother is missing. Find him first. You are a family. Why can't you talk it out peacefully instead of fighting like this?"
Speaking of this, Lu Xueping suddenly thought of Lu Deping. She panted and looked at Shen Hongyu angrily, "Yes, my brother is missing. You lost my brother. If anything happens to him, my mother and I will not let you go. You just wait for me."
Some people also advised Shen Hongyu, "Xiao Shen, calm down. We are all family, why do we have to fight like this?"
Everyone clearly meant well, but Shen Hongyu's pride was too much to bear. When she saw Lin Minjun standing in the crowd, she suddenly felt devastated.
If she were to live her life over again, she would try her best to live a better life than Lin Minjun.
As a result, Lin Minjun now has her own restaurant and her business is booming, but she is actually fighting with her elder sister-in-law here!
Shen Hongyu felt angry and aggrieved, with a rage in her stomach that she had no place to vent. She didn't know why her life had become like this.
After thinking about it, Shen Hongyu thought of Lu Deping again.
Yes, blame Lu Deping.
If Lu Deping hadn't been caught soliciting prostitution and doing such a shameful thing, why would she waste her time here with Lu Xueping? It's all Lu Deping's fault!
Seeing that Lu Xueping was still pointing at her and threatening her, Shen Hongyu suddenly stood up and shouted, "Your brother was arrested by the police for soliciting prostitution. Did you hear that? He was arrested by the police for doing something like this. I wanted to save some face for your family and didn't tell anyone about it. But you came to me to cause trouble. Since you are not afraid of losing face, I am even less afraid of losing face. Your brother was arrested for soliciting prostitution!"
Prostitution!
As soon as these two words came out, the crowd fell silent. Everyone stared at Shen Hongyu with wide eyes in disbelief.
I don't know how long it was before a little kid asked innocently, "Mom, what does whoring mean?"
"Children are not allowed to ask questions! Go home quickly."
The child was sent home feeling aggrieved. When everyone recalled this conversation, I don’t know who laughed first, “Puchi!”
Then, someone in the crowd covered his mouth and laughed. The neighbors looked at Lu Xueping, "Comrade, your brother was caught for soliciting prostitution. You shouldn't have come to Xiao Shen about this. What can she do? She can't just rush in and bring your brother back."
Everyone was laughing while talking, and they all looked at Lu Xueping with some sarcasm. She had gone too far today, and Shen Hongyu had been wronged.
Lu Xueping's face was already burning, and now it started to hurt again. She looked at Shen Hongyu in amazement, with those two words echoing in her mind.
Lu Xueping took a step back, somewhat incredulous, "You—you are lying."
"I also hope that I am a liar." Shen Hongyu stood up with a somewhat sarcastic expression.
Lu Xueping opened her mouth. She felt so ashamed that she had never felt so embarrassed before. She also didn't know why Deping would do such a thing.
She couldn't blame Lu Deping. After thinking it over, she could only look at Shen Hongyu and reproached her, "How could you just say that? How will Deping face people when he comes back?"
Shen Hongyu curled the corners of her mouth, but Lu Xueping's next words completely angered her.
Lu Xueping continued to blame Shen Hongyu, "Besides, it's because you are not attractive. If you were attractive, men would not go out to look for other people. It's you who can't keep my brother."
Shen Hongyu's face darkened and she clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could go up and slap Lu Xueping again.
She stared at Lu Xueping intently, and suddenly sneered, "Yes, I have no charm. How charming you are? You are the most charming. Who can be as capable as you? You sleep with a man before getting married, but is that man yours? Don't let him throw you away after you fail to get married."
"You're talking nonsense!" Lu Xueping suddenly got up and retorted in a shrill voice.
Shen Hongyu said coldly: "You know it in your heart. The last time I went back to the old house, your parents were not at home, and I saw a man coming out of your room with my own eyes."
Bringing a man home before getting married and letting him stay overnight?
This may not be big news in the future, but at this relatively conservative time, it is explosive news!
For a moment, everyone present looked at Lu Xueping in shock, not knowing what to say.
Lin Minjun was also stunned and looked at Lu Xueping stupidly. How come this person was even more outrageous than in his previous life?
Lu Xueping was stared at by everyone, and she felt like her face was being peeled off in public.
She was furious, pointing at Shen Hongyu, her fingertips trembling, "You are good, you are really good, don't come back to our house in the future! You are not a member of our family!"
After she said this, she pushed through the crowd and ran away, her back showing panic.
Shen Hongyu looked at her back and sneered, cursing her as an idiot in her heart.
She could guess with her toes what Lu Xueping was going to do now. She would definitely run home and cry to Lu's mother, and then ask Lu's mother to agree to her marriage with Xu Yi.
Shen Hongyu had met Xu Yi once before. He was a smooth talker. Now she was looking forward to the chaotic life that the two of them would lead after they got married.
As soon as Lu Xueping left, the scene became quiet. Shen Hongyu felt ashamed and could not stand there any longer. She said nothing, turned around and went home, slammed the door and locked it.
In the following days, Shen Hongyu never went out again. She only went out occasionally in the morning, carrying an empty basket. When she came back, the basket was full of vegetables. She closed the door and lived her own life.
Everyone found it unusual that Shen Hongyu had settled down so quietly. Some thought she was waiting for Lu Deping to come back and settle the score, while others thought she was starting to make plans for herself and was preparing for a divorce.
Someone even came over to ask Lin Minjun: "Ah Jun, isn't your son Yan Li a police officer? Do you know what happened to Lu Deping?"
"I don't know." Lin Minjun did not participate in these discussions.
After the neighbors who came to visit left, Lin Minjun couldn't help but sigh again. What was happening now was really completely different from his previous life. In his previous life, Lu Deping had never been to the police station.
As she was daydreaming, she thought of Shen Hongyu again. Lin Minjun glanced back through the window. She felt that if Shen Hongyu could make up her mind to divorce this time, it would be a good thing for her. Lu Deping was a quagmire. She had been stuck in it all her life and couldn't get out, sinking deeper and deeper.
She looked at Shen Hongyu, as if she saw herself in her previous life. Although the two of them were not in conflict, Lin Minjun sincerely hoped that she could get away with it.
A few days passed like this, and I don’t know when it started, but Lu Deping came back and reappeared in the alley.
