"Yunzhou's wife, put the knife down." The brigade leader arrived, wearing one shoe on his left foot and one on his right. He had come over after hearing the news that the young wife of the Lu family had been driven to suicide by her father-in-law, and he had even put on the wrong shoes.
When Qiao Wanyue saw the captain arrive, she sniffed and said, "Captain, my father-in-law is trying to force me to my death." She repeated her initial statement.
The captain's head was buzzing; this wasn't the first time something like this had happened to the Lu family.
In the past, Lu Rong always swallowed her anger and didn't bother him. He pretended not to know about other people's family affairs.
Moreover, he was a member of the Yang family, and since the eldest son of the Yang family had passed away early, Yang Lin, as the younger brother, had helped him a lot, which he also believed was not wrong.
But after hearing a few words from his wife about what happened on the wedding day, even his wife, who was on good terms with Yang's mother, felt that the Yang family had gone too far. Yang Lin was actually eyeing his daughter-in-law's things; he was really despicable.
"Yang Lin, is that so?" He turned to look at Yang Lin.
Yang Lin's head and face were covered in blood.
"Who hit him?" The captain had no idea how he got the head injury.
Yang Dazhuang's mother said, "Captain, Yang Lin crashed into the tree himself. Yang Huaiyuan's mother took a fancy to Lu Xiaoxi's car, and Yang Lin wanted to push the car to her house, but the young wife refused, so Yang Lin crashed into the tree. I heard it clearly."
The captain's brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by 'want'? That's a loan!" Yang Lin said angrily to Yang Dazhuang's mother.
"What a joke, borrow? Has the Yang family ever returned anything they borrowed? Everyone knows you, Yang Lin, are biased towards outsiders," Yang Dazhuang's mother sneered.
Yang Lin was furious.
The villagers all chimed in, saying that although the Yang and Lu families often quarreled in the past, Lu Rong was concerned about his reputation and Yang's eldest son had died young. He subconsciously felt sorry for the Yang mother and daughter, so he helped Yang Lin.
But what kind of nonsense is this? Threatening suicide to force his daughter-in-law, just because the Yang family wanted a new car?
In those days, a rural family might not be able to buy a bicycle even if they saved up for a year without eating or drinking. The Yang family just asked for one; wasn't that blatant robbery?
"Wanyue, I didn't want your car. I told your father-in-law that your car was very nice, and he felt sorry for my family because our eldest son died young and we have no one to work with. I've never seen such a nice car before."
"Don't let this hurt your relationship. Don't worry, I won't lend you any more money in the future," Yang's mother said pitifully, jumping out of the room.
Qiao Wanyue said calmly, "Sister-in-law, the family bought a car five years ago, where did it go?"
Sister-in-law Lu also realized what was going on and said directly, "Oh, Aunt, what are you saying? Five years ago, my family's old bicycle was still at your house. How come you never saw it? My Yunzhou bought it the second year he joined the army."
As soon as he said this...
The villagers also realized what was happening.
They remembered that the Lu family had bought a car five years ago. The Lu family kept a low profile and did not show it off. Later, the Lu family's car appeared in the Yang family's house, and Yang's mother told everyone that her family had bought a bicycle.
Back then, everyone struggled to make ends meet. In the entire village, only the village head's family and Yang Huaiyuan's family owned bicycles, which they envied immensely.
Yang's mother's face darkened.
She never expected Qiao Wanyue to bring up this old, trivial matter.
"Wanyue, what are you saying? Your uncle died young, and your father-in-law took care of him..."
"Auntie, you have a terrible memory. My sewing machine and leather shoes were all taken by your family. My leather shoes are still on Er Cui's feet right now," Sister-in-law Lu muttered to herself.
“My father-in-law would love to move all the toilet paper to your house, what, isn’t that enough?” Sister-in-law Lu said without any restraint.
