Chapter 82 The Money is with Me
"Daughter-in-law Yun Chen, this matter really wronged you. I never thought that these useless people would have the nerve to say such things. It's really... a misfortune for our family!"
Without waiting for Huang Xinran to speak, Lu Tianlei walked out of the house and spoke first.
"So according to you, Dad...?"
"Don't worry, Dad is not senile yet!"
It’s good to have this sentence!
Huang Xinran finally smiled, "Dad, what you said is too serious. Yun Chen said when he left that you are the wisest one in our family, and you are in charge of everything at home. If you don't mention anything else, just look at how you have led us to the continuous development and progress of the village over the years, and you can get a glimpse of the whole picture. To be honest, he really didn't exaggerate at all."
"Haha... Yunchen likes to tell the truth."
Lu Tianlei was flattered by the praise and wanted to say something, but his sons did not give him the chance. While they were chatting, his three brothers came out one after another and stood not far away, staring at them.
Huang Xinran's face darkened.
"Dad, when the Lu family split up, Yun Chen was still a minor and hadn't joined the army yet. How did you two support yourself in your old age?"
"Well, what else can I rely on? I have to dig for food in the fields."
Lu Tianlei pointed at his three sons with drunken eyes and said, "Come to think of it, after all these years, you should have given a lot of pension. Today, while everyone is here, it's a good opportunity to settle the money. Boss, as a person who should set an example, how much pension should we give to the two old people?"
Boss Lu was dumbfounded. He was just eyeing the money that Lu Tianlei got from selling the cherry trees. How did it turn into money for supporting his parents?
He can say no, he hasn't given it for so many years, where is he going to get the money to give it? Even if he wants to give it, it would be a huge sum of money! How can he bear to do that...
Seeing that Lu Tianlei had rendered his three sons speechless, Huang Xinran decisively turned around and went back to the house, intending to have a good sleep.
After entering the house and locking the door, she quickly put down the mosquito net and took out the stack of money that Lu Tianlei had secretly stuffed into her hand and counted it. Fortunately, it was exactly the 800 yuan that Sun Ya had spent on the cherry tree, and it was all here without a cent missing.
She quickly hid it close to her body, and then she felt relieved and went to sleep.
Speaking of which, Lu Tianlei was also a smart guy. He actually took advantage of that short moment to give her the money. Now, Lu Tianlei was being forced to drink by his three sons. No matter what they wanted to do, it was destined to be in vain tonight.
When Yaya and Maomao entered the room, Huang Xinran had already fallen asleep.
But the lively atmosphere in the Lu family continues.
There seemed to be some noise in the middle of the night, but Huang Xinran did not get up. Instead, he covered himself tightly with the thin quilt and continued to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, she found out what had happened in the Lu family last night.
Last night, the three brothers cried to Lu Tianlei. But Lu Tianlei refused to listen. Instead, he kept talking about the old-age pension. This finally angered the drunken Lu Lao San, who flipped the table and even hurt Lu Tianlei...
After Huang Xinran got up, the Lu family was very quiet, with no one there.
The main room had been cleaned up, and the bare ground was too clean. Of course, it didn't look like there was a stain on the floor.
She went to the kitchen to cook and found that there were a lot fewer dishes. She didn't care much about it. After the meal was ready, she asked Yaya and Maomao to call people.
Lu Tianlei didn't get up.
Instead, Zhang Wenbi came out yawning.
During the meal, she talked about what happened last night. "They overturned the table, broke the bowls, and hurt Yun Chen's father. Lu Tianlei was furious and had to calm them down. Alas, they did go back, and who knows when they will bring up the past again. Anyway, you know the truth about this matter, so just avoid it and don't bother with those idiots. If anything really happens, remember to tell me as soon as possible."
"I understand. Mom, please eat more."
Huang Xinran picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to Zhang Wenbi.
Zhang Wenbi accepted her kindness, but he hesitated several times and finally said nothing.
In fact, the three sons had the intention of robbing last night. While they were supporting the drunk Lu Tianlei, they searched all over his body for money, but found nothing. That’s why they started to make a fuss. In the end, they overturned the table…
Did Huang Xinran hear it last night? It’s okay. The other party hid in the house and didn’t come out. Isn’t that a statement?
Zhang Wenbi sighed inwardly and felt that the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"Mom, let me tell you something."
Huang Xinran also felt that this was not going to work, so she started to think: "Right now my sister-in-law is in confinement after giving birth, and my mother is too busy to come over, so she asked me to go over and help her for a few days. You see..."
"Okay, if you want to go back to your parents' home, go ahead. I'm here with you."
Given the current situation of the Lu family, it would be a good idea for Huang Xinran to go back to her parents' home for a visit, so as to avoid those people who failed to gain any advantage from the old man and would come back to cause trouble for the fourth son's wife.
"I'll take the two children with me. I'll also bring some fabric so I can make more clothes."
After passing Zhang Wenbi's place, Huang Xinran packed up her things very quickly. In less than an hour, she had packed up her things and took her two children out of the house, returning to her mother's house again.
When the Huang family saw Huang Xinran and her two sons coming back, their eyes widened in surprise.
Especially Liu Zhaodi, she pulled Huang Xinran over and looked her left and right, "Why do you go back to your mother's house every other day? Ranran, tell me the truth, has something happened at the Lu family?" Otherwise, why would she go back to her mother's house again after just a few days?
"Mom, you really guessed it right this time. Something is wrong with the Lu family..."
It is said that family disgrace should not be made public.
But this does not apply to Huang Xinran.
If a woman doesn't tell others about her family's shame, she will just have to keep it to herself. She won't do that!
"I've never seen such shameless people..."
Liu Zhaodi was even more furious than Huang Xinran, and she scolded all of them. In the end, she criticized Lu Tianlei for not doing anything, and also scolded Zhang Wenbi for not being able to educate her son...
Fortunately, although Liu Zhaodi cursed, she still considered the Lu family's reputation and did not tell anyone about it.
Still not satisfied after cursing, he asked Huang Xinran: "What are you going to do next? Are you going to fight them directly, or find someone to mediate? As long as you say, we Huang family members will not fight for face, but go to the Lu family and let them know that the daughter of our Huang family is not to be messed with!"
"No, Mom."
Huang Xinran paused, looked around, and then lowered his voice: "The money from selling the fruit trees is with me."
If the money wasn't in her hands, she probably wouldn't be able to remain calm.
On the contrary, now was the right time for her to watch the show and see how those uncles were so shameless as to ask for money to buy cherry trees. Also, as for the pension money that should be given to the two elders, would the three sons give it to them?
