Lu Ting stuffed the money and deposit slips into the inner pocket of his cotton coat, and Lu Fengnian casually put the book under his pillow. The father and son opened the door, and Lu Fenghua fell to the ground without noticing, cursing.
"What are you doing? You didn't even say anything when you opened the door."
Without even looking at the fallen Lu Fengnian, he said, "Come in, are you here to settle the funeral expenses for the old man? I just did the math and collected twelve pieces of white cloth and two red carpets..."
Generally, people who interact with each other only give a contribution of between fifty cents and two dollars, while very close relatives may give between ten and twenty dollars.
Some relatives and friends also sent white cloth and wreaths. Hua Min's family gave a red blanket, and Gu Yiyang, the son-in-law, also bought a blanket to cover Mr. Lu's coffin.
"Of the two red blankets, one was bought by my brother-in-law and must be given to him, and the other is for the old lady to use as a blanket. The other white cloths are divided equally among our three brothers."
"The total amount of money collected this time was 113.5 yuan. We bought a pig and a sheep, and the various expenses for the wedding banquet came to 338.7 yuan.
We each took out fifty dollars, and you each want to give me twenty-five dollars."
"What? We've spent so much money, and we still have to pay it out?"
Lu Fengyu was a little anxious. He originally thought he could get some share, but he didn't expect that he would have to pay more money in the end.
Lu Fengnian threw the account book on the table. He remembered every detail, even an egg or a scallion.
"You can look at the account book. I have recorded every penny clearly."
Deng Xiu'e asked Lu Fengnian directly, "Did you take your father's salary?"
"Isn't my dad's salary given to you every month for safekeeping? Isn't the money you use to subsidize Lu Shiwei, the second and third sons using my dad's money?"
"The money I subsidized was all from my own dowry. Your father only gave me so much money. That old man must have given it to you in advance."
Lu Fengnian slapped the table and said, "What do you mean? When did my dad ever give me money on his own? Every time I come back, you're always there."
Deng Xiu'e glared at Lu Fengnian fiercely, "Then tell me, where did your father's money go?"
"How would I know if I ask you? I also want to ask you where my dad's salary has gone over the years."
Deng Xiu'e sat down on the ground and said, "I have no money left. How can I live like this?"
Lu Ting suggested, "Aunt, you still have two sons and a daughter."
"What do you mean, your father doesn't intend to support me?"
Lu Fengnian took over the conversation, "Originally, when my father passed away, I had no problem supporting you. But your mistake is that you asked me to help your daughter raise a child for nothing, and you even gave my biological son to the Gu family. You should let your two biological sons raise him! I can't afford to support a big Buddha like you."
"I don't want to live anymore. Why is my life so miserable?..."
Deng Xiu'e rolled around on the ground, throwing a tantrum. Lu Fengyu quickly helped her up. "Mom, if your eldest brother won't support you, your second brother and I will. We'll all move in here to live with you."
Lu Fengnian looked at Lu Fengyu and Lu Fenghua coldly, "If you dare to move in, I will immediately go to the police station to file a case."
Lu Fenghua glared at him fiercely, "Lu Fengnian, what do you mean? Dad is gone, and you don't care about our brotherhood."
"Your mother stole the dragon and replaced it with my Jin'er, and now you want to take my house. Who would want to be brothers with people like you?"
"Just wait for me." Lu Fenghua was furious. He rushed out after saying that.
Lu Ting felt something was wrong. "Dad, does Second Uncle want to fight you to death?"
Everyone thought Lu Fengnian was going to beat someone up, but he went to the kitchen, picked up a fire poker as thick as a baby's arm, and smashed the window glass in several rooms.
Su Yan heard the noise and came out. Lu Ting also ran out, "Yan Yan, come in quickly."
It seems that Second Uncle is going to destroy it if he can't get it. Su Yan quickly pulled Hua Min into the house and quickly locked the door. Don't mess with a madman, so you'd better hide from him first!
Seeing that they were smashing things again, Lu Fengyu picked up a round stool and threw it to the ground. Seeing that his two younger brothers were starting to go crazy, Lu Fengnian quickly rushed over and kicked each of them.
Li Li, who was standing in the yard, screamed and was about to throw anything she found at Lu Fengnian. Lu Ting stepped forward and grabbed her hair.
"Aunt San, if you continue to beat my dad, you'll forget about having long hair."
"Ah~ Let go, let go!"
As soon as Lu Ting loosened his hand, Lu Shuangshuang rushed out with a kitchen knife.
"Brother, be careful!"
Seeing that his elder brother was about to be chopped off, Lu Jin suddenly rushed over. Lu Ting seemed to have eyes on his back and dodged...
"ah…!"
Li Li screamed like a pig being slaughtered. It turned out that Lu Shuangshuang had slashed the back of Li Li's left hand with a knife.
Lu Shuangshuang was so frightened that she didn't even notice the knife falling to the ground.
Oh my god! Did she kill someone? Why did she just rush into the kitchen and get a knife? And she cut her mother.
She just wanted to scare her cousin with the knife, she didn't really want to kill anyone!
Blood was flowing from the back of Li Li's hand, and everyone in the yard was shocked.
Deng Xiu'e regained consciousness and said, "Lu Fengyu, why are you still standing there? Send your wife to the hospital, quickly!"
If my daughter-in-law can’t keep her hands, how can she do housework and serve her in the future?
The yard was in chaos. Qin Fang found a towel to wrap Li Li's hand, but found that the bleeding could not be stopped at all. Lu Fengyu carried Li Li on his back and rushed out.
Before leaving, he glared at Lu Shuangshuang fiercely, "You damned girl who is always causing trouble but never able to accomplish anything. I'll come back and deal with you later."
Lu Shuangshuang was so scared that she burst into tears. Seeing that her parents had left, her sister and brother chased after them without thinking, and she also hurriedly chased after them.
After Lu Fengyu and his family left, Lu Fengnian picked up Lu Fenghua and punched him hard on both sides.
"See? This is what you're going to get for causing trouble. Lu Shuangshuang used a knife to injure her mother. You're next, right? Tell your son Haizi to bring a knife over here too. I'll be waiting."
Lu Fenghua was not convinced and punched Lu Fengnian's chin fiercely, "Why? This house belongs to Dad, and I am also his child. Why don't we have a share?"
"This house belongs to my grandfather. He left it to me. I am the eldest grandson of the Lu family's eldest branch, and my mother is my father's first wife. If you want to ask the old man for the property, you can go down and ask them yourself."
"you…"
"Lu Fenghua, is it fun to keep making trouble? This house will never become yours. Instead of staring at other people's things, you might as well work hard and earn more money..."
Seeing that things had gotten to this point and that his elder brother was now refusing to give in and there was no way he could get the house, Lu Fenghua didn't want to make trouble anymore.
"Brother, I don't want the house anymore, but I must share some of Dad's salary."
"Dad's salary? If I took the old man's money, I'd ask him to come see me tonight..."
"So where did Dad's salary go?"
"My aunt often subsidizes Lu Shiwei. You can go find her."
Lu Fenghua thought, could it be that his mother really spent all the money on his younger sister and the third child?
