Chapter 25: Seize the opportunity to pursue the enemy and leave no
room for maneuver How come Lu Er's wife seems to have changed? Everyone is puzzled. Although she still looks weak and fragile, her logical and orderly way of doing things is nothing like her old self.
Under everyone's scrutiny, Wang Mingfang took the account book handed to her by Xia Qingxiong in dismay, but did not open it. She was reluctant to spit out the meat that had already entered her mouth, and began to play the emotional card with Xia Qingxiong:
"Qingxiong, it's not that I don't want to give you the money. Look at the sewing machines, radios, and bicycles in our house...which one costs hundreds of dollars."
As expected, Xia Qingxiong had expected that she would find excuses and would not return the money easily.
Wang Mingfang stepped forward and took Xia Qingxing's hand: "You usually use these things, right? We are a family, there is no need to..."
"We are not a family!" Lu Jingchen looked at Wang Mingfang, interrupted her and said clearly, and then reminded and warned:
"You should understand that you and my father have divorced a long time ago, and he has never planned to remarry you. You and we can never be a family."
Wang Mingfang did not expect Lu Jingchen to ruthlessly lose his face in front of so many people, and she was angry and upset.
However, these words gave her the opportunity to make a fuss. The next second, her tears fell and she said in tears:
"Shocked, you can't say such heartless words. After all, I am your brother's biological mother, wuwu...
In the past few years, I have worked like a cow in the Lu family, taking care of this family and your sister. I always give her the best food and treat her better than my own granddaughter! Wuwu...
And when your wife first came to the Lu family, she was pale and thin, not like a human being. Look at what she looks like now, white and thin. Pure and pretty, if you say I treat her badly, God will not agree, wuwu...
At that time, you and her... Lidong wanted to kill someone, and it was me who advised him that we were brothers and should not be too fussy. I devoted myself to the Lu family and gave my all, but now I am in a difficult situation, wuwu..."
After hearing what she said, a different voice appeared in the crowd:
"It is said that it is difficult to be a stepmother. I think it is not easy for the ex-wife either. It is not easy for Aunt Mingfang to do what she has done."
"It should be said that she is really good to the girl from the Lu family. We have seen it all."
"When Xia Qingli married Lu Jingshi, Aunt Mingfang did not say anything."
Amid Wang Mingfang's accusations and everyone's discussions, Lu Jingshi's face became more and more ugly, but he did not say a word. The person in front of him was an old shrew, and a scheming old shrew. He could not quarrel with her in public.
Xia Qingli learned what it meant to be eloquent today. This Wang Mingfang is really not an ordinary person. Every sentence she said was to show her hard work and great achievements.
She never mentioned the dirty things she did to her original body, and even brought up the old story of her brother-in-law "sleeping" with her sister-in-law to seduce her. She was really vicious.
Since Wang Mingfang wanted to establish a good image as a kind ex-wife, she should tear off her disguise and let everyone see what kind of ex-wife she really is.
Xia Qingying walked slowly to Wang Mingfang's side, and looked at her confidently and said:
"Auntie, I think Jing Jing is right. You and Dad have been divorced for so many years, and you have remarried. You are really not a family anymore." She paused and asked seriously:
"As for the fact that Dad will never remarry you, I think you know the reason better than anyone else."
Xia Qingying deliberately stopped talking here, and everyone around looked at her in confusion.
Because the Lu family moved into the courtyard after Lu Baichuan resumed work, everyone didn't know their family's previous situation. Now listening to Xia Qingying's mention, they were naturally very curious.
Hearing Xia Qingying say this, Wang Mingfang, who was good at pretending, became visibly tense, but she kept comforting herself in her heart that she couldn't know, how could she know!
Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been aroused, Xia Qingying continued:
"Before Dad was sent to the countryside, you heard the news and took the initiative to file for a divorce, right..."
"You don't know anything, don't talk nonsense here." Before she finished speaking, Wang Mingfang immediately interrupted her, her tone hurried and panicked.
"Auntie, you know in your heart whether I am talking nonsense or not. In order to live a good life for yourself, you even gave up your one-year-old child when you divorced, right?"
"Not only that, you also wrote a letter of guarantee to sever ties with them, right? Then you turned around and married the director of the Revolutionary Committee who investigated your father."
Xia Qingli looked at Wang Mingfang and did not give her a chance to breathe before continuing:
"Your letter of guarantee is still with Dad. It is an indisputable fact that you married the director of the Revolutionary Committee. Dad suffered in the countryside, but you enjoyed life in the city. For someone like you, Jing Chen doesn't treat you as a family member. What's wrong with that?"
Hearing this, everyone sighed and finally understood why Lu Baichuan was always cold to Wang Mingfang no matter how she tried to show her favor to him.
Which man would dare to marry such a heartless and ungrateful woman who abandoned her husband and children?
"Dad didn't tell you about this because he cared about your face. It's embarrassing for you to live here with your identity. Now you're asking Jing Chen to treat you as a family member. Isn't that asking too much?" Xia Qingying took advantage of the situation and asked Wang Mingfang one question at a time.
Wang Mingfang was ashamed and annoyed when her true colors were exposed. Although every word Xia Qingxiang said was true, she was still trying to find excuses for herself:
"In that situation, I did that to protect myself. I wanted to live a better life and then bring the child to my side so that he wouldn't suffer. Was I wrong?
Besides, this is all about what happened between me and your father in the past. I haven't let you young people down in this family, have I? Back then, you and Lu Jingchen did that thing and caused my son such a great humiliation, but I didn't say a single harsh word to you. Now you and your wife have united to humiliate me together. Do you still have a conscience..."
"Why am I in Lu Jingzhe's bed? Don't you know the reason better than anyone else?" Xia Qingxiang really couldn't help but interrupt her and asked back.
When these words came out, everyone was shocked again. Last time, Xia Qingxiang said that she was put on Lu Jingzhe's bed by Wang Mingfang and her son. Could it be that there was a hidden story behind what happened back then?
Lu Jingzhe also looked at Xia Qingxiang unconsciously, as if thinking.
"What do I know? I don't know! Could it be that I tied you to his bed?" Wang Mingfang immediately denied it.
Xia Qingxiang knew that she had no evidence now, and no one would believe the truth, so she simply stopped defending herself and said:
"You keep bringing this up, don't you just want to make Jingchen feel guilty? But what did he do wrong?
He was already a battalion commander in the army at the time, and he had such good conditions. There were many women with good family backgrounds who liked him. Could it be that he would have any improper thoughts about an ugly girl from the countryside like me?
He was forced to marry me, so what did he do to you?"
After Xia Qingli said this, even the indifferent Lu Jingchen couldn't help but be moved. She actually belittled herself in this way to protect his face.
At this point, Xia Qingling changed the subject again, and suddenly stared at Wang Mingfang intently:
"As for why I appeared in his bed, you know it even if I don't tell you. Don't forget that my father sacrificed his life to save your son. You treat me like this, aren't you afraid that he will be restless in the afterlife and come to find you at midnight?"
"You are talking nonsense, we didn't do anything. I, Wang Mingfang, am upright and not afraid of gods and ghosts..."
Wang Mingfang defended herself loudly, but it was obvious that she lacked confidence and looked very flustered.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her son Lu Lidong walking into the yard, as if she had finally found a support, and cried again with a "wow".
When Lu Lidong heard the crying, his face changed greatly. He quickly walked to Wang Mingfang, held her and asked:
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Lidong, you are back. I just wanted to come here to help you take care of the children and reduce the burden on you and your wife. I didn't expect to be bullied and wronged like this. I can't stay in this house anymore. I will pack up and leave immediately..." As she said this, she made a gesture to go into the house.
She didn't say she wanted to leave after arguing for a long time just now. Now that her son is back, she pretends to be weak and pitiful, crying and saying she wants to leave. Isn't this obviously pretending?
Lu Lidong immediately grabbed her, looked at her and said loudly:
"Mom, this is your son's home, you can live here if you want, and no one can chase you away."
"I will only be disliked if I stay here. No matter how well I do and how well I take care of Xiaoxue, I am always an outsider. People can chase me away if they want... Lidong, mom doesn't want to make things difficult for you. I'm leaving now." Wang Mingfang continued to cry.
Wang Mingfang used this trick of crying and making a fuss just to win sympathy. She felt that Lu Jingxie should at least give her some face in front of Lu Lidong. As expected, the next second she heard Lu Jingxie say in a deep voice:
"Wait..."
Wang Mingfang was overjoyed and was waiting for Lu Jingxie to speak to keep her, but the next second she heard him say in a cold voice:
"Pay back your salary before you leave!"
