Chapter 4 Why should honest people be bullied?
Lu Xiang asked, "Where's Lu Zhaodi? Why didn't she come out for such a big thing?"
In one word, everyone's attention was on her again.
The surrounding people were talking non-stop: "Yeah, it's such a commotion outside, where's Lu Zhaodi? Where's his father Lu Dahai?"
Aunt Lu wanted to tear Lu Xiang's mouth apart on the spot. Everyone had forgotten about this matter.
She had originally thought of a foolproof plan to just pass the buck, but who would have thought that the Fu family would ignore Lu Xiang and instead force them to express their stance.
Aunt Lu had some sweat on her forehead.
Xiao Cailian said, "Call your boss here. How could you do such a shameless thing? Bullying us orphans and widows? Is it easy for me to raise four children alone? Don't think of me as a soft persimmon." She was so angry that she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing her mother so angry, Fu Qinhui's favorable impression of the Lu family dropped to the lowest point. She said with a cold face: "You are going too far."
Third Brother Fu also said, "That's right, are you taking me for a fool? Find your men here, I don't hit women." He said this with a threatening look as if he was about to take action.
Originally everyone was just watching the show, but when things got to this point, no one could resolve the situation peacefully. Someone said, "Quick, go get the village chief." The people in their area were tough, and if a fight broke out, this year's advanced village would be gone.
At first, everyone really thought that it was Lu Xiang who was behind this, but when they saw the polite and decent words Lu Xiang said, they couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
I never thought Lu Xiang had such courage before. Her parents didn't dare to talk back to Grandma Lu, but she was getting more and more powerful with each word.
Aunt Liu, a neighbor of the Fu family, said, "I saw Lu Zhaodi washing clothes by the river this morning, and she was heading back towards the Lu family."
"Hey. Is this interesting?"
After everyone was reminded of this, the matter seemed even more confusing.
Lu Xiang was married off in a substitute marriage. Did the Lu family know about it?
After a while, Village Chief Wang came over with Second Brother Fu by his side and said, "What's the point of making such a fuss? Let's go inside and talk." The villagers cared about their reputation, not to mention that this was a matter concerning two families.
But Xiao Cailian refused to go and said, "Let's talk about it here. I want to see if the Lu family can come up with something."
Seeing the village chief coming, Grandma Lu said, "I, an old woman, had no idea what was going on. Now that things have gotten this bad, how can I still live with dignity?"
The corner of Aunt Lu's mouth twitched. This old woman was really good at shifting the blame. She put all the blame on her just by saying she was not aware of the matter.
Isn't it just passing the buck? Aunt Lu followed suit and said, "This girl did such a shameless thing. I'm not her biological parent, so I can't do anything about it."
Lu Xiang's parents are both honest people. They wouldn't make a sound even if a needle pricked their bodies, but being honest is not a reason for others to bully them.
Lu Xiang came from a book. At this moment, a nameless fire rose up. Why would an honest person be bullied?
Lu Xiang said, "Village Chief, they were the ones who told my parents that Lu Zhaodi liked someone else and asked me to marry her. My father told them to talk it out, and they scolded him. I finally understood. I treated them as my elders, but they treated me like an animal! They ruined my reputation in front of so many people. So what if I, Lu Xiang, remain single for the rest of my life?"
Lu Xiang paused and said, "If you don't let me live, then none of us will live." After that, she rushed directly towards Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu was caught off guard and was bumped by Lu Xiang, causing her heart and lungs to ache.
"You stupid girl, how dare you hit people?" He was about to pull her hair. Aunt Lu was over forty years old and was a worker. How could Lu Xiang be his opponent?
Lu Xiang's action took everyone by surprise. The two families were already angry, and Lu Xiang's action seemed to have lit a fuse. Xiao Cailian also rushed over, and the Fu family rushed over to help, fearing that his mother would suffer.
It was a mess for a while.
Fu Qinhui subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiang in the crowd. Grandma Lu was about to strike her. But although Lu Xiang's physical condition was weak, she was very agile. Not only did she avoid being struck, she even gave her breast a sharp pinch.
Village chief Wang would never allow these people to do whatever they wanted, so he said, "Stop fighting." His first attempt didn't work.
Village chief Wang rushed over and used force to separate the fighting women.
The two sons of the Fu family didn't attend. As gay men, they naturally couldn't fight with women, but they kept their eyes on their family. They watched the fight go on for a long time, but they didn't suffer any losses. So they just watched the fun from the sidelines like everyone else.
Xiao Cailian was seen holding a lock of Aunt Lu's hair in her hand.
Aunt Lu had never suffered such injustice before. She immediately sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
Lu Xiang stood in front of her parents. She had just taken advantage of the chaos to step hard on Aunt Lu's foot, but when she turned around, she saw that someone had scratched a foot-long bloody mark on her mother's hand, and she became angry again.
If the village chief hadn't come out to stop it, I would have wanted to slap that aunt who was spewing shit twice more.
Lu Xiangqi's chest rose and fell.
Grandma Lu and Aunt Lu were furious. They had always been the ones bullying others, never before bullied by others. They looked at Lu Xiang like a little rat with a knife, dragging them into this vortex. Their eyes were blazing with anger as they looked at Lu Xiang, as if they wanted to eat her alive.
Village Chief Wang usually had a serious face. Now he was furious: "That's outrageous. Fighting in front of so many people. So disorganized and undisciplined."
Fu Qinhui said politely, "Village Chief, this is because the Lu family is too unkind."
Village Chief Wang said, "There has never been a marriage exchange in this village. You from the Lu family, please tell me first. What's going on?"
Aunt Lu said, "It was this damned girl who fell in love with Fu Qinhui and stole my daughter's marriage. Now she dares to come to my house, bah, what a born scoundrel."
Lu Xiang angrily said, "You're talking nonsense, conflating right and wrong. The public has sharp eyes. My parents have always been afraid of you. They're like mice seeing a cat when they see you. How could they dare to snatch your good marriage? It's obvious that you're scheming. Lu Zhaodi even came home this morning, and you still dare to deny it?"
Fu Qinhui said, "If you refuse to tell the truth, we'll sue you." Ordinary people were afraid of going to court, but Fu Qinhui was a university graduate and had seen the world. The other party was being unreasonable, and his patience was running out.
As soon as Fu Qinhui finished speaking, Mrs. Fu San started to jeer, "Yes, sue us and let everyone know about your little sham." She was the type who liked to join in the fun and make a big fuss. Since they wouldn't take the soft approach, then she'd have to use the hard approach.
Grandma Lu and Aunt Lu were just complaining about Lu Xiang. Now, when they heard that the matter had become a big deal and they had to go to court, there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
