"Slap—" A slap landed on Lu Kai's face. Xu Zhenzhu went crazy and pounced on Lu Kai, scratching and biting him.
Lu Kai was trying to protect Meng Ruyi and couldn't free his hands for a moment, so Xu Zhenzhu tackled him to the ground, and he couldn't help but groan.
My first reaction was to check on Meng Ruyi: "Ruyi, are you alright? Ouch—"
Suddenly, she let out a scream, desperately trying to kick Xu Zhenzhu off her with both hands and feet, shouting, "Let me go, Xu Zhenzhu, are you crazy? A madwoman! Pull this crazy woman away—"
Xu Zhenzhu was wrapped around Lu Kai's body with her arms and legs. No matter how hard he tried to break free, he couldn't. Even when he kicked her, she just held onto him silently.
The members of the Revolutionary Committee looked at each other for a while before slowly stepping forward. It took them quite a while to separate Xu Zhenzhu and Lu Kai.
After they parted ways, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Xu Zhenzhu's mouth was full of blood, and she had a piece of bloody, mushy meat stuck in her teeth.
Lu Kai screamed and covered his ears, blood streaming down his hands.
Meng Ruyi stopped pretending to be pitiful, turned over and got up, hugging Lu Kai: "Kai, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Zhenzhu spat out the piece of meat she was holding in her mouth, revealing her blood-stained teeth. She smiled coldly and asked Lu Kai, "Does it hurt?"
Lu Kai was in so much pain that his face turned pale and he couldn't speak.
Meng Ruyi was furious: "You're a madman!"
Xu Zhenzhu stared blankly at Lu Kai, "Does it hurt? But it doesn't hurt as much as when I saw you committing adultery with that bitch Meng Ruyi! It doesn't hurt as much as when I heard they'd been hooking up for five or six years! It doesn't hurt as much as when I heard that your two nephews weren't your older brother's children at all, but bastards you had with that bitch Meng Ruyi..."
There was a deathly silence all around, followed by an uproar.
This is absolutely amazing!
It's one thing for the uncle and sister-in-law to have an affair and cuckold the elder brother, but the fact that none of the children are the elder brother's is just too outrageous!
Everyone's values were quite shocked.
Even the Revolutionary Committee, with its extensive experience, was stunned.
Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi's expressions finally changed.
Lu Kai stopped crying out in pain and looked at Xu Zhenzhu in astonishment: "You, how could you—"
Xu Zhenzhu's mouth was full of blood. Suddenly, she smiled, looking terrifying, like a monster who had suddenly eaten a child. "How do I know? Of course, I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears!"
"Right here, right in this courtyard, you two were embracing and whispering sweet nothings, making love inside the house, and I was listening outside! You didn't know that, did you..."
It turned out that after Xu Zhenzhu became suspicious that day, she thought about it for a few days and then gritted her teeth and asked the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative for a few days' leave.
The leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative thought that things seemed to be improving on the Lu family's side recently, and Lu Kai was still working at the machinery factory. They figured things might change in the future, so there was no need to offend him too much.
Especially since Xu Zhenzhu had learned her lesson and even gave him a small gift, he agreed.
It's said that when a woman falls in love, her IQ drops to negative numbers.
But once a woman becomes suspicious, he can instantly transform into Sherlock Holmes, and no clue can escape their eyes.
Moreover, Xu Ningyan has already provided the most important clue: the address.
Lu Kai wasn't in a hurry, and naturally didn't know that Xu Zhenzhu had taken leave and hadn't gone to work.
Xu Zhenzhu put on makeup and went to Chang Le Lane. She found No. 38 and naturally inquired about it.
She remembered one of her high school classmates who lived nearby.
They brought gifts to the door and spent some money. Not only did they find out about No. 38, but they also had that classmate help them rent a small single room next to No. 38.
She stayed in that small single room and naturally saw Lu Kai, who was supposedly working overtime and supposedly going back to his in-laws' house in the factory, come straight to Meng Ruyi after work.
Sometimes Meng Ruyi would come back first, and sometimes the two of them would come back together, carrying groceries in a warm and affectionate manner.
Anyone who saw them would say they were a loving couple.
If it were before, Xu Zhenzhu would probably have rushed out and made a scene long ago, but after experiencing so many things, especially after seeing Meng Ruyi being affectionate with Lu Kai, she held back.
Watching the two of them being affectionate every day felt like self-torture.
She noticed that Lu Kai treated Meng Ruyi better than he treated her.
Even at night, you could still hear Meng Ruyi and Lu Kai making a ruckus.
Xu Zhenzhu didn't know how she managed to endure it. It was as if she had been split in two, one half angry, the other half rationally observing everything and keeping it all in her heart.
The night before last, she tortured herself by standing guard outside the courtyard again, listening to Meng Ruyi and Lu Kai playing and making a ruckus inside the house.
Then I went out to fetch water and take a bath.
The two shameless adulterers, not content with their antics inside the house, went out into the yard and did just that too.
They ended up hugging and talking in the yard.
Perhaps because it was late at night and everyone was quiet, the two of them indulged themselves for a while, and thinking that no one was outside, they didn't go in.
I was tired after walking around, and it was hotter inside than outside, so I decided to rest outside for a while and chat.
Meng Ruyi was smug, but she couldn't help feeling jealous. She deliberately brought up Xu Zhenzhu, saying, "How could Lu Kai bear to leave Xu Zhenzhu alone at home? Isn't he afraid that Xu Zhenzhu won't be able to stand the loneliness and will cheat on him?"
Lu Kai was very confident, "Her? I'm the only one who doesn't mind her! If it weren't for her decent education, easy-going nature, and passable looks, would I have married a country girl like her? The Xu family is such a poor, rural family, their ancestors couldn't even come close to my family!"
"That shallow and calculating girl, she always puts on such a high and mighty act, thinking everyone can see through her and she's just trying to climb up to me! When she saved me, she was so obsessed with me, she couldn't even pop her eyes out of my body!"
"That kind of country girl, she'd come to me with just a snap of her fingers! We're not even married yet, and she's already offering me everything! If it weren't for the fact that she's clean, has a high school education, and could be the perfect shield for my sweetheart, who would even want her?"
"She's vain and stupid. Give her some money and a job, and she'll do whatever you tell her to do, like a dog! She said she wouldn't do any chores at home, but after marrying me, she has to obediently learn and do everything. As long as she still wants to cling to the Lu family and enjoy their benefits, even if she knows about our affair, she'll probably be too obedient to utter a single word!"
"My dear, don't you understand my heart even today? I gave you my first time, and my whole heart and soul belonged to you! If it weren't for the fact that he's my older brother, I would have married you long ago. Would that country girl from the Xu family even have a chance?"
After saying that, she couldn't help but bite Meng Ruyi again: "How dare you say that to me! You are now Lu Zheng's rightful wife. When he comes back, is this how you serve him—?"
Meng Ruyi grumbled and snuggled for a couple of moments before saying with dissatisfaction, "You heartless bastard! Don't even mention that your older brother only comes back once a year. Even if he did come back, we'd never done *that* again! I suspect he already knows about my relationship with you, and that Xiao Bo and Xiao Tao aren't his children!"
