Chapter 22: The Extreme Family is in Chaos
Uncle Lu knew something was wrong at home and rushed back immediately. When he got home, Aunt Lu had already been released. Aunt Lu said, "It's nothing, it's all a misunderstanding!"
The police had already found out, and Aunt Lu had been keeping the stolen property without her knowledge. However, there were doubts about this matter. A nephew with no legitimate business gave her a gold bracelet to keep, and she had the nerve to accept it. The police confiscated the stolen property, gave Aunt Lu a copy, and released it to her. Everyone in the Lu family breathed a sigh of relief.
No one in the Lu family scolded Aunt Lu. That was something worth more than three thousand yuan, who wouldn't be tempted?
Uncle Lu said, "You should keep quiet recently!" Their family has been in the spotlight for a while now.
After this incident, Aunt Lu became a lot more honest.
Lu Zhaodi was a little unhappy and said to Uncle Lu: "It's all because of Lu Xiang, otherwise our family wouldn't be in such a mess now!"
Uncle Lu was a little impatient. He slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table, turned around and walked out without eating.
Coincidentally, not long after he went out, he saw Fu Qinhui getting off work and Lu Xiang walking back from washing clothes. Fu Qinhui helped Lu Xiang carry her things.
Others around said: "Oh, this young couple is so loving!"
"But it's not like in our past, when did men ever help carry things?"
"Forget about carrying things. You still have to work the first night after the baby is born!"
It is said that Lu Xiang has fallen into a lucky nest. Fu Qinhui knows how to feel sorry for her. She is also a college student, so she will definitely be a good person in the future.
Uncle Lu felt uncomfortable watching from the side.
Recently, many people have been making fun of his Lu Zhaodi for pushing away such a good marriage opportunity, and Uncle Lu had to swallow his anger.
Uncle Lu looked at Fu Qinhui with a glare: "You have a good temper. In this village, men should still be manly!"
Before Fu Qinhui could speak, the person next to him said, "What is manliness?"
Uncle Lu said, "Why don't you try beating her?" and instigated Fu Qinhui to beat Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang was a little dissatisfied: "You should tell your son-in-law this. I've never seen such an uncle who directly encourages others to beat his niece!"
Uncle Lu's face darkened: "Girl, I was just chatting, how come you can't take a joke?" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to go back in anger.
Lu Xiang realized that he was not a good person for fanning the flames, so she deliberately said loudly to Fu Qinhui, "Hey, who did you just say failed the political review?"
The person next to him asked, "What do you mean by political review?"
Lu Xiang explained, "Political review is when you want to apply for a position at a government agency or state-owned enterprise. They'll investigate what your family's ancestors have done for generations. If your background is good, you can take the exam. If your background is bad, you'll be rejected!"
Everyone seemed to understand, but the uncle in front felt a pang in his heart. He was the only one who needed political review at the moment. He had applied for a civil service position in the county. Could it be that something had happened?
Without bothering to get angry with others, he went straight to the village chief's office.
The village chief was reading last week's newspaper. When he came in, he hurriedly asked, "Village chief, have you heard anything about my case?"
The village chief opened the drawer, took out a letter, and handed it to him: "Take a look for yourself!"
Uncle Lu opened it and took a look: "Impossible, I am a poor peasant for eight generations!" There were four big red words written on the letter: Political review failed. He was a little bit unbelievable.
Once he went to the county town, he would have a high salary and various benefits. If he did a good job, his whole family could move to the county town. He asked many people for help on this matter.
The village chief said, "That can't be helped."
The uncle begged the village chief: "Can you tell me what went wrong?" He couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that he was stubborn and unrepentant, the village chief said, "I always tell you to take care of your family. Look at what has happened recently. It's all caused by your wife." First, your daughter found someone to marry her, then she hid her things.
Uncle Lu sat in the chair in a daze, his mind blank. Two or three months of hard work had just gone to waste. How could he be willing to accept this?
He had previously thought that after he passed the civil service exam in the county, he would go back and settle the score with the Fu family to show everyone how powerful he was.
He was speechless!
It was all over. How could this happen? His daughter hadn't married off, his wife hadn't gotten a penny, his gold bracelet had been taken away, and he had a criminal record. His plan to apply for the exam was also ruined.
I was so filled with regret that I didn't know who to talk to. My face turned pale. If this matter were to get out, the whole village would laugh at me for years.
When Uncle Lu returned home and saw Aunt Lu, he got angry and started arguing with her. When Aunt Lu heard that Uncle Lu had lost his clerical job, she was also devastated: "Let's go and give them some more gifts!" Her voice trembled as she spoke.
Uncle Lu got angry when he saw her like this. As the two of them were talking, Uncle Lu couldn't control his temper and slapped her in the face.
Aunt Lu has been in a state of nervousness recently and has been taken away by the police two or three times. She has broken down mentally and exploded after being beaten like this. The two of them started fighting each other and the noise became louder and louder, and the whole house was in chaos.
…
The Fu family felt relaxed.
Lu Xiang kept pestering Fu Qinhui. Seeing this, the Fu family sisters-in-law all teased, "They're still a newlywed couple!"
Mrs. Fu San said, "Of course, that's great!", thinking that the two of them were talking to each other from the heart, but she didn't know that Lu Xiang was talking to Fu Qinhui about something else.
Lu Xiang said, "I want to set up a stall in the county, is that okay?"
Fu Qinhui said, "Now the county doesn't allow open stalls, so you don't have to go. The money I earn is enough for you to live on!"
Lu Xiang still had about a hundred yuan in her hand and didn't want to spend it all. "Then how about I come to your place? Tomorrow when you're at work, take me around! I've never been to the supply and marketing cooperative before."
Fu Qinhui didn't quite agree in his heart, but when he saw Lu Xiang's beautiful eyes, he couldn't say no: "Then you are not allowed to run around!"
After saying this, Fu Qinhui felt annoyed. How could he agree to her so easily? But when he saw Lu Xiang's surprised eyes, Fu Qinhui thought, forget it, as long as she is happy.
Lu Xiang was planning something else. She had 100 yuan, which was a lot, but she still felt insecure. She wanted to earn more money so she could pool it for something big.
It's a good opportunity to go out and see what the prices are like now. I haven't been shopping in such a long time since I went through the book.
She was quite happy at the thought of pouring it out. She happily took out her two newest clothes and wanted to dress up nicely. She also said to Fu Qinhui: "I will definitely not embarrass you!"
Fu Qinhui stood by without saying a word, just watching her clean up, with a hint of tenderness on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even realize.
