Chapter 85 Lu Chengsheng
After listening to Liu Hehua's story, Yufen went home and asked her husband about it.
Yufen’s husband is called Lu Lao Da, a name chosen very casually. His younger brother is called Lu Xiao Er, and later he changed his name after making money.
Boss Lu didn't change his name. He had already vented all his anger after separating from his father.
So when he heard his wife ask about this, he was just a little surprised, "Where did you hear this?"
Yufen had heard about this and then forgotten it. After all, the old man was dead, and her youngest son was living in another place and might never see him again in his life.
As a result, someone kept saying how promising the younger son was and that he was supported by the older son's work, which made Yufen feel unbalanced.
If her husband hadn't given up the opportunity and went out to earn money to support his brother's schooling, he would never have had the chance to become successful.
After she came back, she sat on the stool with a fire burning in her heart. When she saw Boss Lu coming back, she couldn't help but talk about this matter, mainly thinking about whether she could take advantage of her youngest son.
If she were to say it, it couldn't be called taking advantage, it was just getting back what originally belonged to them.
"Today, I heard someone asking about that shabby house at the back of the village. Aunt Liu mentioned that you have a younger brother. I've never heard you talk about it before, so I came back to ask out of curiosity."
"I heard that you were the one who earned money to support his education. Do you still have any contact with them now?"
Boss Lu was originally soaking his hoe.
The weather is hot now, and when you go to the fields to work with a hoe all day, the wooden handle will easily be cracked by the sun.
You have to soak the hoe in water from time to time to avoid it being scrapped.
After hearing this, he stopped soaking the hoe, turned around and walked into the house, pretending he didn't hear anything.
Seeing this, Yufen chased after him and asked, "You have to tell me what's going on. After all, they are our relatives. You can't let me hear everything from someone else."
"What are you talking about? I don't know what you're thinking. Aren't you just trying to see if you can take advantage of me?"
Hearing this, Yufen got anxious. "What do you mean by taking advantage? Why didn't you tell me that you worked part-time to support his education? You suffered so much loss before, and now you won't let me ask for it back? How can this be justified?"
Boss Lu knew what she meant, but the matter was not that simple. "My brother is the only one who takes advantage of others, and there is no reason for others to take advantage of him. You'd better put your calculations aside."
Boss Lu suffered at the hands of his younger brother since he was a child, and only gradually realized it when he grew up. However, given his personality, even after he realized it, nothing would happen, and at most he would just stay away from him.
The matter of dividing the family property was entirely initiated by his younger brother. He didn't know where he heard that the house in his hometown could be sold for money, so he came overnight to persuade his father to leave the house to him.
Boss Lu worked hard to take care of his father for so long and earned money to support his younger brother's education, but in the end he was kicked out of the house and was given five mu of land.
His father was so ruthless about this matter that after Boss Lu split up the family, he never came to visit again and didn't even tell his father about getting a wife.
He didn't go even when his father died.
Yufen had been in the house for such a long time, and she didn't even know there was a father-in-law.
I don’t know if it’s because of his brother’s personality, but after Boss Lu married Yufen, he felt that there was nothing wrong with her. Even the fact that she secretly hid other people’s birthday bowls was not a big deal in his eyes.
If we really talk about being immoral, there are few people in this world who can compare to his brother. He would rather use the flesh and blood of others as a ladder to climb to the top.
So, looking at his wife, he advised her to put aside her thoughts. "If my brother suddenly shows up at my doorstep one day, it must be because he has done something extremely evil to me. You are after his money, and he is after your family's lives."
"So, you might as well worship your ancestors more often and make a wish not to meet him."
After saying that, he really bowed to the incense burner in the room. After that, no matter how Yufen asked, he didn't want to mention that unlucky guy again.
After asking several times, Yufen gave up the idea because the rich brother was so far away that she couldn't reach him.
However, she still told everyone what Boss Lu said, mainly because she didn't want her family to bear the bad reputation of being unfilial.
Sun Pingjuan had been at odds with her because of the bowl incident, so she immediately started to pick a fight after hearing what she said. "If you insist on saying that, then your family didn't show up when your father-in-law died, did?"
"If their family isn't that great, yours might not be much better either."
After Yufen broke up with her family, she became blunt in her words. "If you say that, your family is not that great either. They are so stingy that they won't let you bring anything back to your parents' home, as if they're afraid you'll take something away from your in-laws' home."
After Sun Pingjuan married into the Lu family, she gave birth to two sons and established herself on her own. There was nothing wrong with staying in her husband's family, except for one thing.
Because her family was poor, her husband's family always looked down on her family and were very picky about them.
Mentioning this matter touched Sun Pingjuan's sore spot. She couldn't help but curse, "You idiot, you don't care about your business, but just like to stare at what's going on in other people's houses when you have nothing to do, right?"
"My family's affairs are none of your business."
Yufen cracked some melon seeds and spat the shells onto the ground. "What business of mine has it to do with you? You're just looking for trouble."
"I'm talking about my family, what are you talking about?"
Although others didn't like her very much, seeing the attitude of these two people, they didn't dare let them continue talking, for fear that they would fight.
"Weren't we just talking about Boss Lu's brother? How did we get to this point? Let's continue."
"Yufen, can you please tell us more about what happened to your brother? How come I've been in this village for so many years and haven't heard anyone talk about this?"
Yufen didn't get anything out of her husband, except that he said her brother lacked virtue, and she took advantage of this to make her own point.
Anyway, no one knows about their childhood, so there is nothing wrong with her describing her husband in a miserable way.
She had just learned about how much hardship Boss Lu had endured outside to earn money to support his brother's education when she saw a black car driving into the village.
A middle-aged man in very fashionable clothes got out of the car. He wore a gold watch and looked wealthy. He took off his sunglasses and asked the women at the village entrance, "Do you know where Mr. Lu's family is?"
His gold watch flashed, attracting the attention of everyone chatting, especially Yufen. "Who are you? What do you want from Boss Lu?"
Lu Chengsheng: "I am his brother."
Yufen remembered what her husband said yesterday. Oh my god, could it be that she didn't go to worship her ancestors and that's why she really attracted that evil ghost?
She didn't know whether to answer or not, so the quick-talking Sun Pingjuan spoke for her, "Boss Lu's wife is here, just ask her directly."
She didn't say this with good intentions. They had just been talking bad about the younger brother, and now that he suddenly appeared, there would definitely be some fun to watch.
"Sister-in-law?" Lu Chengsheng's words were filled with surprise. He immediately took a large box of gifts from the car and said, "I couldn't make it back for your wedding. This is a gift for you."
After accepting the gift, Yufen was even less able to say anything harsh. "Your brother has gone up the mountain. I'll take you home to sit for a while."
Just like that, she brought Lu Chengsheng home in a daze. The two of them chatted happily, and the other party didn't look down on her at all. Instead, he was very friendly.
She even wondered if her husband had misunderstood something.
When Boss Lu returned home and opened the door to find his brother there, he didn't want to say anything and just said, "Get lost."
Lu Chengsheng: "Brother, I..."
"Go away, don't force me to beat you up like last time."
Even though he was kicked out, he still said goodbye to Yufen politely, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for disturbing you today. You must accept this gift."
He left.
The couple had different attitudes when they saw the gift left in the yard.
Boss Lu wanted to throw the gift away, but Yufen felt that even if his brother was not a good person, there was nothing wrong with the gift and it would be fine to accept it.
"You don't understand my brother. He spent so much money on gifts, which means he wants more from us."
"That's fine, we just don't take the challenge."
"Besides, if he's really as powerful as you say, what can he possibly do that you can refuse with just one word?"
Yufen thinks Boss Lu is too cautious, and Boss Lu thinks Yufen is too stupid.
The two people even had a fight.
But Yufen was right, if something really happens, you can't avoid it.
The next day, Lu Chengsheng came again.
