Chapter 60: Picking the Hardest Bone to Chew
Lu Zhaodi just ran back crying.
The old ladies in the village saw her flirting with the man, and many people laughed at her. A neighbor who was familiar with Aunt Lu quickly told her the news.
Aunt Lu was almost mad because of Lu Zhaodi's outrageous behavior. She and her father couldn't hold their heads up. When they went back to find Lu Zhaodi, they saw her crying.
After hearing what Lu Zhaodi said, Aunt Lu's face turned ugly.
She knew that Lu Zhaodi had repeatedly expressed her love for city people, and she was criticized in the village. She thought that Lu Zhaodi would never find a good partner in the village again. Seeing her crying like that, she scolded her: "Waste, how could I give birth to such a useless thing like you!"
After saying that, he pulled Lu Zhaodi to help his daughter vent her anger.
Aunt Lu cursed all the way, complaining that God was unfair. Lu Xiangma was no match for her, so how could someone else's daughter be better than hers?
Seeing Li Yucai, Aunt Lu's eyes were filled with anger. Then, she happened to see Lu Xiang nearby, and her anger intensified: "Okay. Lu Xiang, you're married, how can you be with another man? What the hell is that?"
Lu Zhaodi and Aunt Lu both agreed on this matter, believing that Lu Xiang had hindered Lu Zhaodi's chances of marriage. It must have been something Lu Xiang had said!
Aunt Lu always puts accusations on people and makes people think that Lu Xiang is getting close to other men.
The reputation of women in the village is very important, especially for married women. If there is any shameful news about them, the woman will not be able to hold her head up in her husband's family.
Aunt Lu shouted all the way, attracting many people's attention. The villagers heard that Lu Zhaodi was close to a man. Some people heard a few words and didn't know what was going on. When they saw her going to the village committee, they came to join in the fun.
A cold glint flashed in Lu Xiang's eyes. Her aunt had resorted to the same old tricks again, destroying her reputation. It seemed that she hadn't hit her too lightly the last time. "She's lost her mind. This is the village committee, not the place for you to act like a spoiled child. As expected, you have a dirty mind."
Four or five aunts, all of them older, gathered around. Younger people generally didn't dare come to the village committee to watch the fun.
However, these people all love to gossip. With them around, half the village will know what happened in less than an hour.
Sure enough, Lu Xiang's words made Aunt Lu's face flush red. She said, "Who are you calling dirty? You're just a child, talking about your elders like that. How did your parents raise you? No wonder your eldest sister got beaten up. She deserved it! Your family has no conscience."
One sentence made Lu Xiang's face turn red. Aunt Lu didn't even see how she got to her side. Then Lu Xiang slapped Aunt Lu twice, making her dizzy.
Lu Xiang had been working hard recently, making duck necks and other things, and her physical strength was much stronger than before. This time, she swung her fist around and Aunt Lu's face immediately became swollen.
Lu Xiang said, "You're old, and your mind isn't working well. I call you Auntie just to give you some respect in front of others, but you're really putting on airs? If I hear you say anything bad about my elder sister again, I won't just slap you in the face."
Aunt Lu and Lu Zhaodi were both stunned. They didn't expect Lu Xiang to attack without any mercy.
Lu Zhaodi said, "You hit my mother again, I will fight with you." After saying that, she rushed over like a mad woman.
Aunt Lu also sat on the ground, rolling and howling, saying that her niece had beaten her and she would not live any longer.
Li Yucai's eyelids twitched several times when he saw this. What kind of person is this?
Li Yucai naturally wouldn't let Lu Zhaodi, the crazy woman, beat up Lu Xiang, his savior, and quickly reached out to stop her. The village chief inside was also startled. Seeing that it was Lu Zhaodi and her daughter again, he immediately flew into a rage: "Stop! What are you doing?"
The village chief roared, and Aunt Lu's howling seemed to break. She looked at the village chief with tears and snot, asking him to make a decision for her, showing the red and swollen area on her face. She meant to ask the village chief to deal with Lu Xiang.
The village chief said, "I heard everything in the house just now. What kind of words did you say? Lu Xiang is your junior, isn't she? She was invited to talk to reporter Li about Lu Ping's situation. How did you say such words?"
The village chief now looked down on the people in the Lu family's old house. They were always looking for trouble. Lu Xiang could even find a recipe for composting. What else could they do? They didn't do anything serious all day long, just looking for trouble and starting fights.
The village chief was furious: "You said Lu Ping deserved it. Is that something a human would say?"
The village chief usually doesn't like to "judge" cases for others, but this time he said that she was not a human being, which was already a harsh remark.
Aunt Lu was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to argue. The most important official in the village was the village chief. If you offended him, you would have a hard time. At this moment, her face was full of dissatisfaction and she asked, "Did she hit me for nothing?"
The village chief said, "What else do you want? I tell you, this is not the place for you to act like a spoiled child. You got taught a lesson for your bad mouth, and now you're yelling at me?" The village chief's eyebrows stood up.
Aunt Lu didn't dare to say anything more.
The aunts around were eating melon seeds while watching the joke of Lu Zhaodi and her mother.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Aunt Lu’s brain. Instead of taking care of her own daughter, she takes care of others.
Lu Zhaodi was filled with hatred, thinking that the village chief was partial and was not helping her and her daughter at all. Little did she know that this made the village chief dislike them even more!
Lu Xiang said, "I'm warning you and your mother. If you come to trouble me again, I'll have the police investigate your relationship with Lin Mu."
After saying this, Aunt Lu was suddenly frightened. How could she forget that Lu Xiang was not an ordinary person and she liked to complain.
The previous substitution marriage incident had been reported to the police, and later, Lu Xiang also fought Lu Ping's lawsuit!
Others tend to make big things small and small things disappear, but Lu Xiang is the opposite. She pokes a hole in the sky.
Lin Mu's case doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Aunt Lu still shudders at the thought of being taken away by the police for questioning. Lu Xiang's words seem to have touched her very soul, and she looks at Lu Xiang with a hint of fear.
I got beaten and embarrassed this time, so I have no choice but to accept it.
Aunt Lu was speechless after hearing what Lu Xiang said!
The village chief asked, "What are you doing here?"
Aunt Lu glanced around. Several gossipers were watching intently. This time, she was becoming a laughing stock. Her reputation wasn't as good as before, so she might as well go all out.
Aunt Lu's blood boiled with anger. She said, "Village Chief, you have to help your niece Zhaodi. This reporter Li is so hypocritical. After he started dating Lu Zhaodi, he changed his mind. Isn't this just a joke?"
Then, Aunt Lu suddenly had an idea and added a few words to Lu Xiangmiao: "I was so anxious just now. I was afraid he would scare you too, so I said something without thinking!"
Just saying they were dating would counteract the rumors about Lu Zhaodi and other men. Even better if they could blackmail him. Getting married would also fulfill their daughter's long-cherished wish.
Lu Xiang was shocked by her action.
Who was Li Yucai? He was the eldest grandson of a prominent family. All the capable people in the county respected him. He was powerful, influential, and wealthy, and ordinary people couldn't afford to offend him. Aunt Lu had clearly picked the toughest bone to chew!
