Chapter 53: Going to Eat Meat with the Second Brother
When Lu Mingfeng returned, he called Lu Bailing along.
"Let's go and eat meat with the Second Brother."
Lu Mingfeng wanted to go to the town to buy meat, but Shen Jiale stopped him and said, "At this time, the meat at the food station has already been sold out."
Lu Mingfeng said he would go to the state-owned hotel to buy ready-made dishes.
Shen Jiale said, "You have to go to work in the evening, so just rest at home. I'll go buy some on my bike and come back soon."
Liang Qiaoli said, "Forget it, it's okay to eat less."
Lu Mingfeng didn't think so, "Mom, do you know why grandma and uncle have been ordering you around and not taking you seriously all these years?
That's because dad didn't stand on your side from the beginning, so they can bully you like this. If dad said 'no', they wouldn't dare to do this to you.
Now, they still want to control Jiale like this, but as long as I'm here, they won't be able to do that!"
Liang Qiaoli was filled with emotion when she heard her son's words, and her eyes were a little wet.
After returning home, Shen Jiale rode out on his bike, and Lu Bailing wanted to follow to help get things.
With Lu Bailing, she couldn't get anything from the space. Shen Jiale asked her to help prepare the meal at home, and to ride faster by herself to buy food earlier so that everyone could eat earlier.
After a while, Shen Jiale came back with a big pot of food.
The pot was full of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Liang Qiaoli felt distressed: "How much money will this cost? After this meal, how are you going to live in the future?"
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, Mingfeng is capable, even eating meat every meal is not a problem."
Eating meat every meal was something she couldn't even think of. Liang Qiaoli thought Shen Jiale was joking.
Lu Bailing stared at the delicious food and said, "Mom, the food has been bought, let's eat it, don't let down my second brother and his wife's kindness."
Lu Mingfeng said, "Bailing is right, if there are any good things in the future, focus on your own family first, don't worry about a good reputation, that thing can't be eaten. Don't have to accommodate them in the future, I will do my best to protect you."
Although it's painful, it's a waste if you don't eat the food after buying it, so just eat it happily.
The four of them were feasting here, and over at Lu Yongsheng's house, a group of people were still coaxing old lady Lu.
Lu Yongsheng blamed Lu Yongfu for not disciplining his family well and making his mother angry.
Lu Yongfu was also wronged.
Everyone in the family brought meat and gifts to celebrate his mother's birthday, but his mother didn't want them. What could he do?
However, Mingfeng was still a little too much. Lu Yongfu repeatedly assured his mother that he would teach his son a lesson when he got home. After
nearly an hour of coaxing, Mrs. Lu finally calmed down.
Tian Liping heated up the food, and everyone started to eat at the table.
However, the initial excitement was gone.
...
After dinner, everyone went home, and Lu Yongfu found that no one was at home.
He asked the neighbors nearby, and they said that they had gone to the Youth Educated Student Institute.
When Lu Yongfu went to Shen Jiale's residence, he smelled the fragrance of chicken before he entered the door.
When he entered the house, he saw his wife, daughter, son, and daughter-in-law sitting around the table eating chicken and rice.
It was richer than my mother's birthday party.
Lu Yongfu got angry all of a sudden.
"It seems that you deliberately made trouble at my mother's place just to come back and eat alone!"
Lu Mingfeng said, "Even if I ate alone, I bought the food myself. What does it have to do with you? I don't believe that you didn't buy meat for grandma's birthday."
Lu Yongfu said, "I bought the meat to honor your grandma."
Lu Mingfeng said, "You are the only one who knows how to honor your mother. Can't I honor my own mother? If you don't want me to honor you in the future, just say it directly. I will absolutely listen to you and will never honor you in the future."
Lu Yongfu was silent all of a sudden.
Everyone in the village envied the old lady of the Lu family for having three filial sons. Lu Yongfu also wanted to be envied like his mother.
In the past, Lu Mingfeng was unsuccessful and had a bad temper.
He was not worth any help. Now he is successful, but he did not contribute at all during the wedding, so he has no say in front of his son and daughter-in-law.
Since Lu Mingfeng got the banner, Lu Yongfu has been liking Lu Mingfeng more. He also has a temporary job, which has surpassed most of the young people in the village.
Apart from other things, the betrothal money in their hands is a huge sum.
Wouldn't such a rich son be his capital for showing off in the future?
Shen Jiale looked at his father-in-law who looked confused and asked, "Dad, I was a little unhappy just now. You must not have eaten well. Sit down and eat something." Shen Jiale
filled a half bowl of rice and placed it on the table in front of Lu Yongfu. He also put a chicken leg in the bowl.
The chicken tasted so good. My daughter-in-law called me. How about eating
some? But if I eat it, I can't say anything bad about my son. After all, it's easy to eat someone else's food.
But isn't it normal for me to teach my son a lesson?
Lu Yongfu was very conflicted.
Lu Bailing picked up the chicken leg and put it into Lu Yongfu's mouth.
Immediately, Lu Yongfu was captivated by the deliciousness of the chicken.
Now I don't think about anything in my mind. I just want to savor the deliciousness in my mouth.
...
Old Mrs. Lu was still waiting for news that Lu Yongfu would come home to deal with his wife and children.
In the past, whenever Liang Qiaoli and the children made her unhappy, Lu Yongfu would beat the children and scold his wife to vent her anger.
Old Mrs. Lu even specifically asked her second son Lu Yongan to go to Lu Yongfu's house to keep an eye on them, under the pretext that he should not beat them too hard, as it would cost money to treat the injuries.
When Lu Yongan walked to Shen Jiale's residence and saw his third brother chewing on chicken, he was dumbfounded.
Wasn't he asked to come and stop the fight?
His third brother didn't look like he was going to hit anyone.
Lu Yongan walked to Lu Yongfu and reminded him, "Mom is still angry."
Lu Yongfu, who was captivated by the delicious food, had long forgotten the purpose of coming here and said, "Mom is really angry and hasn't calmed down yet. Second brother, you are the best at making mom happy, just comfort her."
Lu Yongan said, "Mingfeng went too far this time, I have to apologize to mom."
Lu Mingfeng said bluntly, "No!"
Lu Yongfu said, "Mingfeng just saw that his mother was wronged, but he didn't mean it. Mom is magnanimous, don't bother with a child."
Liang Qiaoli saw her husband talking to her on behalf of her son, and she looked like she had seen a ghost.
In fact, if a family can get along well, no one wants to make trouble all day long.
Lu Yongan didn't see the result he wanted to see, so he could only go back bored.
As for how Mrs. Lu would react after she found out, Lu Yongfu didn't want to think about it now.
The world is big, but eating meat is not a big deal.
No matter how bad Mingfeng is, he is good to his mother, just like he is filial to his mother.
