Chapter 13 Fear
"Who knows if their family is looking for an excuse to snatch Tianci away?" Lu Neng had something on his mind and lied with his eyes open.
His wife quickly chimed in, "Yeah. Dad, if Tianci follows him to the city, who knows if he'll ever come back. What if the big boss falls for our Tianci because he doesn't have a son?"
Hu Yifa felt that the couple's statement was outrageous.
But the others who were listening around seemed to agree vaguely. Most people in the countryside attached great importance to passing on the legacy to their offspring.
Human traffickers were also rampant at this time, and children could be kidnapped while walking. Some villagers who did not have sons would secretly buy baby boys.
Therefore, it is normal for the Lu Daliu family, which already has few offspring, to have such concerns.
Lu Daliu raised his guard and said, "We won't do this inspection anymore. You guys can go back."
Wang Xiufen wanted to say something else, but Lu Daliu walked around them, went into the house and closed the door, looking like he refused to communicate.
"What are you doing at my doorstep? Looking for trouble?"
"If you block the door, my grandfather will beat you up."
When Lu Tianci returned home after playing, he saw a group of people blocking his way. He subconsciously thought they were there to cause trouble, so he threatened them out of habit.
"Tianci? Is your name Tianci?"
Wang Xiufen looked at Lu Tianci with some excitement. She didn't know if it was because of their special blood relationship that made her feel familiar with him.
She couldn't help but run over and hugged the other person's face, "Your eyes look so much like mine."
They both have similar small eyes.
Lu Tianci was frightened when he was suddenly hugged by this strange aunt, "Let me go, you strange woman."
"Grandpa, come and save me, there are bad guys here who want to catch me." He asked for help in the direction of Lu Daliu.
Lu Daliu opened the door. When Wang Xiufen turned around, her hand relaxed for a moment. Lu Tianci took the opportunity to push her away and ran back home.
After seeing what happened just now, Lu Daliu believed the two people's claim that they wanted to snatch the child away even more.
His attitude also hardened. He stood at the door with a hoe and waved it twice as if threatening, "Leave my house, or I will not be polite."
Seeing that something was wrong, Lian Hua and Lu Xing hurried over and stopped Lu Daliu, and the young man also stepped forward to block the couple.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, let's talk it over nicely." x2
Lu Xing and the others were afraid that they would have to explain themselves if they hurt someone, and the young man was afraid that they would not be able to win the fight because they were outnumbered.
After all, this is Xiaoshi Village. If something happens, the villagers will side with their own people.
The young man was paid to do the job, and worried that the boss might get hurt, he tried to persuade Hu Yifa, "Boss, look at the situation now, they probably won't open the door. Can we talk about it another day?"
"Everyone in Xiaoshi Village is here, so they won't get lost. I think I'll bring you here next time."
He understood the young man's hint.
The sun sets and people working in the fields return home one after another.
Seeing strangers gathering at Lu Dalui's door, many people looked over to see what was happening.
If they did anything forceful, these curious eyes would immediately become alert.
There were only two of them and they hadn't made any preparations. It would be very dangerous to do anything impulsive at this time.
Hu Yifa grabbed his excited wife and left here for the time being.
Lian Hua watched them leave in the car and couldn't help but wonder, "Do you think Lu Tianci is really her son? Their eyes do look alike."
"But is there really a mother who recognizes the wrong child?"
"There were three of us who went there. They were watching the baby so closely before it was born. How could they not watch it after it was born?" Lu Xing did not give a direct answer, but asked a question instead.
I don’t know who said this next to me.
"That's right. If it's really the wrong baby, it would be very interesting."
————
The people in the village were very curious about what happened to the big boss who had just appeared and Lu Daliu's family.
But in fact, Lu Daliu himself didn't know what happened.
After driving the couple away, he didn't say anything at first, and the few people ate and washed as usual.
Only after Lu Tianci returned to his bedroom and went to sleep did he call his two sons to the yard.
Lu Daliu sat on a chair, looking at the guilty couple standing there, and said in a serious tone, "What are you two hiding from us?"
"Nothing... nothing, Dad." Lu Neng lowered his head, not daring to look into his father's eyes.
His wife was holding Buddhist beads and muttering something beside him, looking guilty.
The two people's expressions were so obvious that they couldn't pretend not to see it.
"Don't you have anything to say about Tianci?"
"Isn't Tianci fine? What's the matter, Dad?" Lu Neng looked at the room where Lu Tianci was. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. Cough cough cough cough."
He pretended to have a severe cough and prepared to stand up and go back to his room.
Unexpectedly, Lu Daliu didn't give him any face at all, "Sit down, you've been coughing for so many years without any problem, but now you can't? You can't leave until we have explained today's matter clearly!"
"What are those two people doing outside? What is their relationship with Tianci?"
"And you, don't play deaf. You're praying to that Buddha every day, but in the end, is he asking you to lie?"
The scolded Lu Neng's wife put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and began to repeat over and over again, "It can't be avoided, it can't be avoided."
"Speak up! What? You dare to do it but not to say it?! Are you the ones who call the shots in this family?!"
Lu Daliu slammed the table and looked at the two people in front of him angrily.
Normally, the cowardice on their faces was a joy to watch, but seeing such cowardice now only made him twice as angry.
Lu Neng didn't dare to resist his father. Under such anger, he was not even allowed to feel sad.
"Hasn't Dad always been the boss of this family? How dare we do anything?"
“Bang!”
A loud slap hit Lu Neng's face.
"Useless thing, if it weren't for my grandson's sake, I would have beaten you to death long ago."
Another slap.
Lu Neng's body was indeed very weak. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't breathe. He fell to the ground and couldn't even make a sound of pain. "Then why didn't you beat me to death?"
"Go ahead and beat me to death. I don't want to live anymore anyway."
"You already have a grandson, so I'm useless now. Beat me to death, beat me to death!"
“Why don’t you kill me!!!”
He pounded the ground weakly with his hands. He didn't dare to resist his father and could only vent his long-standing resentment in this way.
"You have to live until God's child is born."
There was not much emotion in Lu Daliu's words, he simply explained his plan.
"ha--"
Lu Neng grabbed the ground with his hands, and was so excited that he couldn't speak complete words.
Seeing one person lying on the ground, speechless, and the other just talking nonsense, he gave up the idea of getting the truth out of them.
"Forget it, you guys can't say anything good."
When the two of them were trying their best to be bad kids, they had become accustomed to Lu Daliu's harsh words.
They endured in silence as usual, hoping that things would pass quickly and that everything would return to normal tomorrow.
Lu Daliu didn't have the patience to continue talking nonsense with them and prepared to go back to his room to play with his grandson, but before going back to his room, he said something.
"You two should try hard and have another child. Even if God gives you one, it's still not enough."
This sentence was like a sharp blade, cutting through the illusion and making the two people face the reality. The devil will not stop doing evil just because others give in.
Lu Neng and his wife collapsed on the ground, hugging each other and trembling.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, Lu Neng made up his mind and looked at his wife in his arms, "Run away, stay away from here, and leave me alone. My dad won't let you go."
"Brother Neng, let's go together. Your body can't take it anymore."
"He's my father. No matter how far I run, I can't escape his control. Death is just paying him back. You're different. You don't owe him anything. I harmed you and married you. I'm sorry. Let's not meet in the next life."
"Neng bro, wuwuwuwu."
The two hugged each other and cried.
For now and for the future.
