"Lu Youxi, you've really grown arrogant and even instigated your parents to divorce!" Old Mrs. Lu said angrily, stamping her feet.
Lu Youxi was surprised. "When you were in the room just now, didn't you support my parents' divorce?"
"You can't bring that up!" Old Mrs. Lu didn't give any explanation. In short, whatever Lu Youxi said was wrong!
Lu Youxi ignored her and turned to ask Liu Yushu, "Mom, what do you think? When you mentioned divorce just now, was it just a momentary angry remark, or have you really made up your mind?"
Liu Yusu lowered her head and sobbed, without saying a word.
Lu Youxi was not in a hurry either, as she had already anticipated Liu Yusu's reaction.
After all, he has been weak for most of his life.
Liu Yusu's character was not developed overnight, and it is impossible to change her overnight.
Liu Yusu's personality is related to her original family.
The Liu family also lives in a nearby village. When Liu Yusu was a child, it was common for families to favor boys over girls. It was not as good as it is now.
The Lu family still favors boys over girls, which can be considered strange.
Liu Yusu's family favors boys over girls and is not nice to Liu Yusu. They think the same way as the two elders in the Lu family now, believing that their daughter will get married sooner or later, and once married, she will belong to another family.
Before she got married, Liu Yusu was only allowed to go to high school, and then she was no longer allowed to continue her studies, as it was believed that there was no need for her to continue studying.
She just needs to learn and do the housework well, so that when she gets married in the future, she can do the housework well in her husband's family and not let her husband's family find fault with her parents' family.
Even during the Chinese New Year, from New Year's Eve to the second day of the first lunar month, Liu Yusu was not allowed to return to her parents' home.
Growing up in such an environment, marrying into a weird family like the Lu family, and continuing to accept similar concepts as her natal family, which are even worse, has gradually deepened Liu Yusu's current weak character.
Lu Youxi never wanted to completely change Liu Yusu's character. She wanted to take Liu Yusu away from home so that Liu Yusu's life would be more relaxed in the future.
Life has become more relaxed and there is less psychological pressure, which can lead to some changes in personality.
But even if Liu Yusu changed her mind and didn't want to divorce, Lu Youxi could have anticipated it.
The villagers who were watching the excitement outside the yard began to discuss in low voices.
"The daughter of the Lu family is really amazing. She even instigated her parents to divorce."
"The two elders of the Lu family are no good, but their daughter is no pushover either!"
"Who said it wasn't?"
"Oh! If it were not for Lu Youxi's strong character and his own ideas, he would have been tortured to death by the two elders of the Lu family. I'm afraid he would have grown up to be the second Liu Yusu."
"Yeah, if she isn't powerful, how can she live in the Lu family?"
At this time, Liu Yusu slowly raised her head and said, "What I said is true."
Lu Youxi looked at Liu Yusu in surprise. She really didn't expect that Liu Yusu would have so much courage this time.
Lu Youxi couldn't help but think that he was a little narrow-minded.
On the contrary, Liu Yusu showed admirable persistence.
"Yu Shu!" Lu Zhenguo cried out in shock.
In fact, he also thought that Liu Yusu was just speaking in anger.
She had lived in this house for most of her life, how could she leave so easily? Unexpectedly, Liu Yusu actually made up her mind.
He said this in front of Lu Youxi, the village chief, and many villagers outside the courtyard.
"Ah! The two old men in the Lu family usually treat her so badly that their daughter doesn't even feel comfortable leaving her own mother behind."
"You don't know." Aunt Lin suddenly appeared in the crowd. "I live next door to his house. Every day I hear the two old people in the Lu family scolding Youxi's mother. It's so ugly. They treat Youxi and her mother like a chicken and scold the dog. I, an outsider, can't stand it. I often tell my husband about it. I don't know how Youxi's mother endures it. If my parents-in-law dared to treat me like this, I would have divorced them long ago. I do all the work inside and outside the house, and I serve everyone. I get up before dawn every day to wash clothes, cook, and serve tea and water. You still scold me like this? You are an ungrateful thing! In my opinion, Youxi's mother should have divorced long ago. This kind of family is like a den of wolves!"
"Do you really want to divorce me?" Lu Zhenguo couldn't believe what he heard. He looked at Liu Yusu in disbelief.
"Zhenguo." Liu Yushu turned to face Lu Zhenguo, "Let me ask you, since I married you, have I ever done anything to let your family down?"
"Since I got married, I have been filial to my parents-in-law and did the housework neatly. After finishing the housework, I would also help you with the work in the fields." At this time, Liu Yusu seemed calm.
But the calmer she was, the more nervous Lu Zhenguo became.
"Bitch! Isn't this what you should do?" Old Mrs. Lu pointed at Liu Yusu and cursed.
Liu Yushu said sarcastically, "Look, my mother-in-law always scolds me like this, and there are many more nasty things than this. Lu Zhenguo, ask yourself, is it right for her to scold me like this? Am I the one who should scold me?"
Lu Zhenguo stopped talking.
Liu Yushu said: "Even though she scolded me like this, did I ever tell you anything wrong about her?"
"In this family, Youxi and I are at the bottom of the social ladder. Just because she is a girl, she doesn't even deserve to eat an egg!" Liu Yushu turned around and faced the outside of the yard, "I am not afraid of being laughed at by you, but I also want to let you know what era it is now. Who can't afford an egg? Even if you are poor, you can have a child with the eggs laid by your own chickens. But my family, even if we can afford it, we won't give Youxi an egg! Because my parents-in-law said that Youxi is a girl, and it would be a waste to give her eggs!"
"It's never my and Yuxi's turn to eat the meat at home. They think that giving us meat soup and rice is already a good thing for us." Liu Yusu cried with red eyes, "It's my fault as a mother. I can't even protect my own daughter in this family. My daughter has never had an egg to eat since she was a child!"
Lu Youxi didn't expect that Liu Yusu was also cunning and crafty.
She always kept the eggs for herself.
But on the surface, the Lu family really didn't give her anything to eat.
Liu Yusu didn't say these, she just said that the Lu family didn't give her food.
"This is too much." Everyone said.
"Yes, eggs are not something expensive nowadays, how can you not give your child an egg?"
"It's too much to feed the children only with gravy," someone said. "Our village is not rich, but we are not so poor that we can't even afford eggs for the children."
"The two old men in the Lu family simply favor sons over daughters and think it's a waste to have a child!"
