After hearing these words, Lu Zhengguo fell silent and began to reflect on himself.
Shen Man was wrong, but it happened so long ago, and she paid a heavy price for drugging and having sex.
Perhaps, he should also stand in her shoes and think for her.
The reason why Shen Man instigated Gu Yang to give false testimony to clear her reputation was just to prevent the people around her from pointing fingers at her.
She was not as scheming and deep as he imagined. Everything she did was just to protect herself.
When Lu Hongmei saw her second brother like this, she knew he believed it.
She continued, "Second brother, think about it, Second sister-in-law hasn't done anything against the will of heaven and earth. As for the fact that you two got married by accident four years ago, it was actually a good thing."
"My second sister-in-law is much prettier than Shen Ping, and there are so many men who like her. If nothing had happened to her, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble."
Lu Hongmei pushed the person out and said, "If you don't treat her well now, your second sister-in-law won't want you anymore. I'll see what you'll do!"
"Why don't you go out and coax people?"
She really worried about the relationship between the couple. If it weren't for the fact that they were nice to her, she wouldn't be so tired.
Lu Zhengguo was about to go out, but he turned back and made a pot of tea to go out.
At this time in the living room.
Yang Fang was still there, talking to Lu's mother and Zhang Fengxia. Shen Man sat quietly beside her, while Shen Xiangshan was drinking with Lu κΏ΅ and Lu Zhengbing.
"Mother-in-law, your room is too big. Although Manman and Zhengguo have been married for more than four years, they have not been alone for a long time. The couple's relationship has become better and better when they live together alone."
"Have you ever thought about buying a house for them outside?"
Mother Lu's face froze. Before she could say anything, Zhang Fengxia couldn't help but say, "Look at what you're saying, auntie. I've been married for so many years and I still live with my in-laws."
"We are both daughters-in-law of the Lu family. Why can't I live here while my sister-in-law doesn't? Could it be that the relationship between us as husband and wife is not a relationship?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Man, who had not spoken a word, and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you teach me to say this, or did I say it myself?"
Originally, considering that they brought a lot of things, I wanted to be nicer to Shen Man's family.
But look at what she said, it's simply disregarding her dignity as a sister-in-law.
Yang Fang pulled Shen Man, signaling her not to say anything and to let her, as a mother, handle the matter.
Shen Man understood what her mother meant, so she sat quietly. Anyway, her mother would not let her suffer any loss.
Yang Fang said coldly, "You Lu family still have the nerve to say that. When Manman got married, you only gave her 200 yuan as a betrothal gift. This 200 yuan was paid by Lu Zhengguo himself."
"Your Lu family didn't spend a cent, but you got a daughter-in-law for free, who serves you all the time at home."
"My daughter is at home, and I can't bear to stop her from going to the kitchen. But you guys put a little more rice in the pot and start to be weird and bully her."
"I remember that when your Lu family married a daughter-in-law, in addition to the 200 yuan gift, they also gave the new daughter-in-law a job."
"It would be fine if my daughter had nothing, but you Lu family still bully her like this."
Zhang Fengxia swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her throat.
When she first got married, the things the Lu family gave her were indeed a lot more than what Shen Man got.
Especially the job in a machinery factory, it was a formal job with a monthly salary of several dozen yuan.
When Shen Man got married, her family didn't give a penny except for the 200 yuan that Lu Zhengguo paid out of his own pocket.
Mother Lu looked embarrassed and did not dare to respond.
The other person was telling the truth and she had no choice but to refute him.
At that time, Shen Man's reputation was ruined, so she just wanted to marry Zheng Guo, and her family didn't think of giving her money.
Yang Fang glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but sneer. With such an in-law family, even if the son-in-law was very promising, she actually didn't want her daughter to marry into the family.
She had originally considered the Gu family. Whether in terms of family conditions or other aspects, the Gu family was much better than the Lu family.
Especially the Gu family's mother is an open-minded person, and you can tell at first glance that she is not the type of person who would mistreat her daughter-in-law.
After getting married, there is no conflict between the sisters-in-law, which makes her a perfect choice for the in-laws.
Even though Gu Yang is not as powerful as Lu Zhengguo, this is not a problem at all.
Lu Zhengguo brought the poured tea to Yang Fang and said, "Mom, drink your tea first. If you have anything to say, I will tell you and my dad when I visit you tomorrow."
He knew that the two of them came here today just to vent Shen Man's anger.
He had caused this tone, and he had to resolve it himself.
Yang Fang didn't want to accept his tea at first, but when she thought about the fact that Lu Zhengguo and Manman were still husband and wife after all, she didn't want to make a big fuss about it.
She still reached out to take the cup of tea, but did not drink it. She just put it on the table.
Lu Zheng noticed the other party's cold attitude, which was also expected.
"Mom, I was wrong about that. I shouldn't have treated Manman like that. I will give Manman an explanation about this matter. I will also give you and my dad an explanation when I come to visit you tomorrow."
"I will also complete as soon as possible what I needed to complete when I got married four years ago."
"These three things are absolutely indispensable. I will convert the things that Manman already has into money and give them to her without missing a cent, including the work."
Yang Fang was a little more satisfied. The three items plus the cost of buying a cooking set amounted to nearly a thousand yuan.
However, it still depends on Lu Zhengguo's attitude tomorrow. She winked at Shen Man.
Shen Man immediately understood that it was her turn to take action.
She held Yang Fang's hand, her eyes red as she wiped away tears of grievance, "Okay, Mom, let's leave it at that. Don't say anything else."
With these words, the image of a poor woman who had suffered all kinds of grievances in her husband's family but still let bygones be bygones and helped her husband's family get away with it was vividly portrayed.
Even Yang Fang almost thought that her daughter had really helped the Lu family out of trouble.
Not to mention the other members of the Lu family.
When Lu Zhengguo looked at Shen Man, his eyes couldn't help but become a little more complicated.
He began to reflect on whether he was really too cruel to her.
Mother Lu couldn't help but feel a little moved. It seemed that she should be nicer to her second son's wife in the future. She was not as bad as others said. At least she knew how to protect her husband's family.
Although Zhang Fengxia was surprised, she couldn't help but despise Shen Man.
I didn't expect that, her mother was so good to her, she bought so many things and came to her house to vent her anger, but she actually held her back.
Fortunately, she doesn't have a concubine. If she had given birth to a concubine like this, she would want to beat her to death.
Yang Fang looked at Shen Man with some resentment, but in the end she couldn't stand her pleading and finally let the Lu family go easily.
She coughed lightly and said, "Alright, for the sake of my daughter, I'll leave it like this for now."
"If I find out that you guys are bullying my daughter again, I will never let anyone off so easily."
After Yang Fang finished speaking, she called Shen Xiangshan and left the Lu family directly.
Before leaving, he pulled Shen Man aside and gave her some detailed instructions.
