Chapter 8: Earth Shakes Up



Lin Minjun suddenly felt that the face of Lu's mother in front of her was hateful.

Those were all medicinal herbs she picked from the mountains and processed herself!

How dare she do that!

The lie she had told was exposed in front of her. Mother Lu couldn't find an excuse to explain herself. Her face turned red with embarrassment. "Give it to me, give it to me. I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you."

As she spoke, she turned and went into the backyard. After a while, she took out her wallet and counted out ten big group notes. "Here's the money, take it and don't bother my Deping anymore."

"Auntie, please find out who is harassing whom." Lin Minjun took the one hundred yuan, which was what she deserved, without hesitation.

However, Lin Minjun could no longer remember how much those herbs were worth. After all, it had been more than 20 years since she had delivered the medicines. She could not remember the current market prices of the herbs, nor did she remember how much she had sent out.

Mother Lu wouldn't be so stingy as to cheat even a little girl of her money.

She put away the hundred yuan and turned to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, Director Su, who had been standing by and watching, suddenly spoke up, "One hundred yuan? Are you bullying the little girl?"

"The prices of medicinal materials in the capital have risen a lot in the past two years. You proposed to give her quite a few medicinal materials as gifts. You just gave her a hundred yuan to send her away? The Dendrobium from my family that you mentioned alone costs more than fifty yuan on the market." Director Su added.

Lin Minjun turned back decisively.

She really overestimated Lu's mother. She is really so stingy and despicable!

Being stared at by the two women, Mother Lu was really embarrassed this time. She clenched her teeth tightly and her hands were shaking as she held her wallet. "Come in with me, and I will settle the account with you in detail!"

With Director Su watching over her, Mother Lu didn't dare to play tricks anymore. She took a pen and paper and wrote down how many medicinal materials she had received. Director Su then calculated the price according to the market price.

In the end, the total amount came out to be 486 yuan, not a penny less. When it was time to take the money, Lu's mother held it tightly, reluctant to give it to her. Lin Minjun just exerted a little force and pulled it over.

She was too lazy to stay any longer, so she stood up to leave. Before leaving, she gave Director Su a grateful smile.

In this world, there are people like Lu's mother who even cheated her son's ex-girlfriend of her money, and there are good people like Director Su who are willing to help others when they see injustice.

When Lin Minjun walked to the Chao Shou Arcade, she ran into Lu Xueping.

Lu Xueping had just been sent by her mother to make tea. She came over in a hurry with a tray in her hand. When she saw Lin Minjun, she was surprised and asked, "Why are you still here? Why don't you go cook?"

If she doesn't cook, Director Su won't be able to eat his favorite Yunnan cuisine, and he won't be able to build relationships with her. What will happen to her job?

Thinking of this, Lu Xueping became anxious and pointed towards the kitchen, "The kitchen is right there, why are you running around?"

From her previous life till now, there has never been a single second when Lin Minjun didn't dislike her elder sister Lu Xueping. Seeing her anxious and evil face, she suddenly had some bad thoughts.

As they passed by each other, Lin Minjun approached Lu Xueping and said in a low voice, "If you're counting on me to cook for you and help you find a job, then forget it. You'll never get a job!"

Then he walked away.

Lu Xueping was stunned for several seconds. When she came to her senses, she saw Lin Minjun had already walked to the door and stepped over the threshold with ease.

What will happen to her job if she leaves?!

Lu Xueping was so angry, so anxious that she wanted to chase the person back. However, it was difficult to chase the person while she was staggering with the tea in her hand, so she could only deliver the tea to the main house in the second courtyard with trepidation.

After she went in, she heard Director Su say that he was leaving too. Her job was ruined!

Director Su didn't even touch the stool, just said goodbye and was about to leave.

Mother Lu was now worried and stepped forward to stop her, "It was just a misunderstanding. That girl was having a quarrel with my Deping."

"So you are a family that teamed up to bully the little girl. I don't care about anything else, but you are really cheating people out of their money, right?" Director Su brushed away Lu's mother's hand and spoke politely. His words hit Lu's mother's heart. "I came here today to tell you that if you want to work, you have to find a way to take the bar exam yourself. Don't count on these crooked ways."

Lu Xueping was stunned and said in a low voice, "Director Su, please don't leave. We will treat you to a meal someday and we will eat Yunnan cuisine."

"Let's talk about it another day when we have time." Director Su said this and left.

Stunned, Lu Xueping turned to ask Lu's mother, "She said we should treat her to a meal some other time to build our relationship."

"What do you mean by some other day? That's impossible!" Mother Lu stamped her feet in anger. "Who knows when she will be free?"

"Is my job over too?" Lu Xueping asked with a pale face, her hands shaking as she held the cup of tea.

"Don't worry, we can take the exam ourselves." Mother Lu hurriedly comforted her daughter.

But if she could pass the exam, would she be so anxious to curry favor with Director Su?

Bang!

Lu Xueping was so angry that she smashed the tray in her hand. The teacup shattered all over the floor, and the tea flowed out along the ground. She squatted down and cried out in anger, "Didn't we agree to treat her to a meal? She said she would take the exam herself. I've already told my friends, where is my face?"

The boiling tea flowed over the ground and was stepped on by Lu Deping who had rushed back.

Just after Lin Minjun came in, Lu Deping was sent out by his sister to buy drinks, and he just got home now.

He was carrying the soda he bought especially for Lin Minjun, her favorite. As soon as he entered the door, he stepped into the water. When he looked up, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa and raging, and his sister squatting on the ground crying heartbreakingly. The house was in complete chaos!

Lu Deping looked around, confused, "Where's Minjun?"

As soon as these words came out, the two women in the family exploded. Mother Lu slammed the table and cursed, "Minjun, Minjun, you only know Lin Minjun. She has ruined your sister! A good job is gone just like that, and you are still here, Minjun!"

"Mom, I don't care. I want to work in a hospital. If I don't have a formal job, I won't live anymore." Lu Xueping, who had been spoiled since childhood, cried.

Lu Deping still didn't understand until his mother, panting heavily, told him in detail how Lin Minjun got the money back for the medicinal materials and how she humiliated their family.

After hearing this, Lu Deping couldn't understand what was going on. He felt that Lin Minjun was really against him.

But why? Wasn't he good enough to her? Whenever he went out to buy a drink, he would always remember to bring her her favorite soda.

Mother Lu was still breathing heavily. Seeing her son still in deep thought, she knew that he couldn't let go of Lin Minjun.

For the first time, Mother Lu hardened her heart and sternly told her son, "You must get rid of that Lin Minjun! Our family cannot accommodate a daughter-in-law with such a big heart. You can find one yourself or I can ask someone to introduce you to one. We must find a girl who is better than her, better looking than her, and has a better family than her. Who is she? Is she worthy of marrying into our family?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? What's wrong with Minjun?" Lu Deping retorted to his mother with a frown.

But just as he showed that he didn't want to find someone else, Lu's mother exploded again, "She has made me so angry, and you are still thinking about her. Can't you find someone else? Why are you thinking about such a country girl?"

She immediately banged her head against the soft sofa, "I won't live any longer. My son has found a wife and forgotten his mother. For such a woman, he doesn't care about the life and death of the whole family. Do you want me to be laughed at and die? The doctors in our unit and the interns in your father's unit are all good-looking girls with good families. You insist on thinking about Lin Minjun. No, I will arrange a blind date for you in a few days. I have to let that girl see that she is not worthy of a family like ours!"

Lu's mother cried and made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide, and she insisted that Lu Deping go on a blind date and completely dumped Lin Minjun, leaving her heartbroken!

If Lu Deping showed the slightest reluctance, his mother would threaten to hang herself.

"Okay, stop arguing. I'm exhausted. Just follow your arrangements." Lu Deping had no choice but to compromise temporarily.

While he perfunctorily agreed to his mother's request for a blind date, he was still thinking in his heart how to win Minjun back.

After all, for two lifetimes, the only person in his heart was the girl with her hair in a pigtail who smiled at him with a crescent shape.

Let’s not talk about the Lu family because this matter has already caused a huge uproar, let’s talk about Lin Minjun’s side.
