Noticing that her tone was not right, Lu Zhengguo frowned slightly, "Other people did tell me this, and I'm asking you to make sure it's true."
"But if this is not true, I will apologize to you."
Shen Man glanced at him and said, "Okay, but I won't accept an apology just from your mouth."
“I have never been wronged since I was a child.
He came to question her before he had figured out what was going on, even though both of them knew that this marriage was a mistake from the beginning.
But now that things were set in stone, he didn't even have the minimum decency to give her as his wife.
Lu Zhengguo was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.
Whether this matter is true or false, he should clarify the matter before asking her.
"I'll pick you up from get off work tomorrow and take you shopping for some clothes as a compensation gift."
Shen Man said calmly, "Forget it, I don't lack any clothes."
"If you want to know the truth, please go ask your sister and your parents first and see what they say."
"After you've asked them, go to our factory and ask the HR department to see what they say."
After saying these two words, she turned around and left.
Lu Zhengguo watched her leaving in silence.
If you think about it carefully, you will realize that you are not making sense.
The two returned to Lu's house one after the other.
Shen Man pushed the door open first. At this time, the Lu family was having dinner.
She was just about to go back to her room.
Lu Hongmei was eating the rice in the bowl, glanced at Shen Man's figure, and said in a strange tone.
"Mom, look at you. You're still thinking about leaving food for me. But looking at me like this, I guess I'll be back from eating out sooner or later."
"You're thinking about her, but she doesn't even look at you."
Mother Lu put her chopsticks on the table and said in a cold tone, "Hongmei, can't I stop you from talking while eating?"
Zhang Fengxia used chopsticks to pick up the rice in the bowl, "Mom, Hongmei is telling the truth."
"As a daughter-in-law, I work during the day and have to come home to cook at night, but their wives live much better than me."
"Just eat and don't say a word." Lu Zhengbing tugged at his wife's sleeve and persuaded her in a low voice.
Zhang Fengxia rolled her eyes at him and turned to look at Shen Man, "Sister-in-law, do you think what I just said makes sense?"
I heard that her younger sister didn't even go to class today.
I thought at least the food would be hot when I got home, but it was a pity that she went out for a walk before coming back.
I didn't expect that when I came back, not only was there no sign of anyone, not even hot meals or dishes.
Shen Man paused as she was about to go back to her room to rest, and her tone turned cold.
"Sister-in-law, let me remind you that you are responsible for cooking today, not me."
Since marrying into the Lu family, such sarcastic remarks have become commonplace for the original owner.
The original owner couldn't bear it, and she couldn't bear it even more.
After saying this, she turned around and went straight back to her room, regardless of Zhang Fengxia's dark face.
Just as she was about to close the door, Lu Zhengguo came in from outside and glanced at her.
What happened?
"Brother, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you come back only now?"
Lu Hongmei immediately put down her bowl and ran to Lu Zhengguo.
Lu Zhengguo looked at his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She had grown into a graceful young lady.
His expression slowed down. "I went to see a comrade halfway and was delayed for a few days."
Before he came back, he wrote back.
His family knew he was still alive half a month ago.
But Shen Man didn't seem to know. Could it be that her parents didn't tell her?
Father and Mother Lu came over, looking up and down at Lu Zhengguo with red eyes, "It's good that you're back alive, it's good that you're back."
They thought their son had died on the battlefield, but they never expected that there would be another day when his son would live to see them.
Lu Zhengbing patted Lu Zhengguo on the shoulder and said, "Zhengguo, I finally got you back."
"You don't know, when the news of your death came, Mom and Dad fainted and went to the hospital. Your family couldn't believe that you were gone, and they had been looking forward to your return."
"You're finally back now."
Lu Zhengguo felt a little complicated when looking at his long-lost relatives.
"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, for taking care of my parents while I'm away."
Zhang Fengxia hesitated and said, "We are all family, so why should we say thank you or not?"
She changed the subject and looked at the closed door. "But, Zhengguo, don't blame your sister-in-law for saying bad things. Now that you're back, you should take good care of your wife."
"Look at her, all day long..."
Mother Lu's face changed slightly, and she quickly interrupted her, "Fengxia, what are you doing? The second son finally came back, you have to say it now."
Lu Hongmei walked to Zhang Fengxia's side and took her arm, "Mom, my sister-in-law is telling the truth. Now that my second brother is back, how can we let that woman ride on your heads?"
"Second brother, do you agree?" She raised her head and looked at Lu Zhengguo.
Lu Zhengguo glanced at Shen Man's closed door and thought of what she had just said outside.
He was silent for a moment, "Mom and Dad, brother and sister-in-law, Hongmei, if there is anything, please tell me first."
"If it is really her fault, I will ask her to apologize to you and correct it."
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu looked at each other. Neither of them wanted to say anything unhappy on the first night after their son came back.
The two were about to change the subject, but unexpectedly Zhang Fengxia spoke first.
"Zhengguo, during the time you were away, your wife did something terrible and almost broke up our family."
"Let's not talk about the distant past. Just recently, your wife took away Hongmei's job."
"Tell me, is this something a sister-in-law can do? It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a job, but if Hongmei loses her job, it will be a serious matter."
"As a little girl, going to those remote rural areas, she doesn't know what she will encounter. Tell me, isn't this forcing Hongmei to die?"
As soon as these words came out.
Lu Hongmei's eyes instantly turned red and she couldn't help but throw herself into Zhang Hongxia's arms and cry.
"Wuwuwu, sister-in-law, you are kind to me, unlike that woman who is vicious and selfish."
"I don't want to go to the countryside at all, but what can I do? I lost my job and my partner broke up with me. What should I do in the future?"
Mother Lu sighed, and quickly stepped forward to pat Lu Hongmei on the back, "Don't cry, there are only a few years left, your father and I will never let you go to the countryside."
Father Lu couldn't help but frown and sat down with his head in his hands.
Now I am in a desperate situation. It is not easy to find a job. I finally found a position in a textile factory, but I didn't expect that my daughter-in-law would interfere along the way.
What is this?
Lu Zhengguo's eyes darkened slightly, "Sister-in-law, tell me carefully, what is going on with this job?"
When we were outside just now, from Shen Man's tone, it seemed that the work was originally hers.
But why do family members and outsiders say that Shen Man stole Hongmei's job?
Zhang Fengxia sneered, "Zhengguo, what do you mean by this? Do you think I am lying to you?"
She raised her head and pointed at all the people in the Lu family in the room, "If you don't believe me, just ask yourself, ask your father, your mother, and your brother."
"You can ask casually to see if your wife is shameless and has taken Hongmei's job away from her. Now she has to go to the countryside."
