Chapter 156 Do you still have any shame?
Zhang Man immediately raised her head when she heard Lu Chen's words. Tears were still on her face, but she nodded eagerly: "Live! Of course we have to live this life! I won't divorce, I don't want to divorce!"
Of course she doesn't want a divorce.
What are her family conditions like? What are Lu Feng's family conditions like?
My father-in-law Lu Huaizheng held a high military rank and position in the army, and his income and treatment were very good.
When she works in a factory and talks about her family, even her workshop director and the factory manager look up to her.
She doesn't want to divorce Lu Feng.
Lu Feng lowered his head, drooped his head, and said nothing.
There was neither opposition nor agreement with Zhang Man's answer, which seemed to be a tacit agreement.
Zhang Man felt a little relieved when she saw Lu Feng didn't refute her, but then she frowned again, her tone filled with anxiety: "But...but what about the loan sharking? Those people said that if I don't pay back the money within three days, they will...will be rude to me."
Hearing this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but interrupt: "Manman, why are you paying back the loan sharks? Loan sharking is illegal! You should call the police for this kind of thing and let them handle it instead of thinking about paying back the huge sum of money."
Zhang Man was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Xu Nuo with a bewildered look in her eyes: "Call the police? Why didn't I think of that?"
In the afternoon, she was blocked on the road by loan sharks, who forced her to pay back the money.
She mentioned her family background at the time and said that all her family members were soldiers.
As a result, the loan sharks were very arrogant and had nothing to fear.
So what if you're a soldier?
Even if you become an emperor, you still have to pay them back.
Zhang Man was frightened and went back to ask her parents and elder brother for money.
As a result, not only did his parents and brother not give the money, but when they heard that Lu Feng had borrowed money from a loan shark, they angrily scolded Lu Feng for being incompetent.
So, he followed her back to the compound and accused Lu Feng in front of his mother-in-law.
Then, everyone knows what happened next.
After such a commotion, Zhang Man had long forgotten that she could call the police to resolve the issue.
Xu Nuo sighed: "Manman, usury itself is illegal, and those people threatening you are committing a crime. The more afraid you are, the more arrogant they will become. Calling the police is the right way to solve the problem. Of course, you need to pay back the principal, but you don't have to worry about the high interest."
Lu Chen nodded and took over the conversation: "Xu Nuo is right. Usury is illegal, you don't have to be afraid. Leave this matter to me, I will contact the police and ask them to intervene in the investigation."
After hearing this, Zhang Man finally had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, but then she hesitated again: "But... the principal is not small."
Lu Chen frowned: "Let's solve one problem first, then talk about the other."
Lu Feng looked up at Zhang Man, his tone full of sarcasm and anger: "What? Your Zhang family can't even come up with a penny?"
This is Zhang Man’s biggest headache.
Her parents and elder brother refused to give her the money, and her husband kept pressuring her.
what to do?
She looked at Lu Chen with a look of help: "Brother, can I lend you some money first?"
Lu Chen looked at her expressionlessly.
Zhang Man said hurriedly: "I know that my sister-in-law is doing business. In addition to work, she also publishes books. You must not be short of money. Please lend us some money so that we can get through the current difficulties."
Lu Feng shouted angrily: "Zhang Man, do you still have any shame?"
Zhang Man burst into tears again: "I am borrowing it, not not returning it? Why are you so fierce?"
When Xu Nuo heard about borrowing money, he turned his head and looked at Lu Chen.
I was a little worried, afraid that Lu Chen would agree as soon as he asked.
It's not that she's stingy.
But, life can’t be lived like this!
Zhang Man has too many problems. If this money is lent out, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog.
Seeing that Zhang Man had set her sights on Lu Chen and Xu Nuo, Cheng Wanying hurriedly said, "I'll pay the money back, so don't worry about it."
"How can that be?" Lu Chen stopped his mother, his eyes fell on Zhang Man's face, his tone was a little cold, "The root of the money problem lies with you, your brother and your parents. If you can't solve this matter, such things will happen again. Zhang Man, I believe you have the ability to solve this problem, it's just a matter of time."
Zhang Man: “…”
Is this a rejection of her?
"Yes. Your elder brother is right." Cheng Wanying's money did not come from the wind.
If she could avoid taking money, she would not be willing to spend it to fill this bottomless pit.
Even though this involved his own son, a good-for-nothing loser.
Zhang Man was silent for a long time. Seeing that there was really no way forward, she had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, go upstairs. You two should think about how you're going to live in the future." Cheng Wanying waved her hand, indicating that they could leave.
The couple returned to the room, and the atmosphere in the room finally eased.
Cheng Wanying's mood gradually calmed down, and she remembered to ask Lu Chen and Xu Nuo: "Have you two eaten?"
Lu Chen said: "Not yet, I just got home and this happened, I haven't had time to eat yet."
Cheng Wanying stood up immediately after hearing this: "How can that be possible? I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach."
As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen.
Seeing this, Xu Nuo hurried over and said, "Mom, let me help you."
Cheng Wanying waved her hand and hurriedly stopped her: "No, no, sit down and rest for a while, you are tired enough today."
At this time, Aunt Lin came down from the stairs. After hearing their conversation, she immediately took the initiative to say, "Let me go. I'll go cook noodles. You can talk to Chenchen and Nuonuo as well."
Seeing Auntie Lin taking the initiative to take on the job, Cheng Wanying did not refuse and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Auntie Lin."
Aunt Lin smiled and went into the kitchen.
Cheng Wanying then sat back on the sofa and looked at Lu Chen and Xu Nuo, her face softening a little: "Why did you come back at this time? You didn't tell me in advance so that the family could be prepared. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you two come back together?"
Lu Chen said calmly, "We came back for training. Xu Nuo came here to get a college diploma, and I came here for commander's training."
Cheng Wanying smiled happily when she heard this: "Good news, this is good news. How many months will your training take?"
Lu Chen said: "Two months."
"That's great. It's already the New Year. Your dad will be happy to know. He doesn't say it, but he's been missing you for a long time."
Xu Nuo sat next to Lu Chen and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't let Lu Chen tell you what he wanted to tell you. Wasn't this meant to give you a surprise?"
"Surprise! It is indeed a surprise!" Cheng Wanying was overjoyed. "Seeing you guys come back, my mood instantly improved."
As she was talking, Auntie Lin came out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of steaming noodles and greeted them with a smile: "Chenchen, Nuonuo, the noodles are ready, eat them while they're hot."
Lu Chen and Xu Nuo took the bowls of noodles and thanked them.
The aroma of the noodles hits your nose, and there is a poached egg on top, with a few slices of green vegetables dotted around it, which looks very tempting.
While the two of them were eating noodles, Cheng Wanying said, "Xu Nuo, the gifts you asked me to bring back last time, the whole family likes them very much. Especially your dad, he praised the wine highly, saying that it tasted pure and he couldn't stop drinking after taking a sip."
Xu Nuo smiled and said gently, "Mom, as long as you like it. Those local specialties are famous, so I wanted to bring them back for everyone to taste."
Cheng Wanying nodded, her smile deepening: "You are so thoughtful. Your dad also said that he would thank you very much when you come back."
"Dad, you're too polite. We're all family. There's no need to be so polite." Xu Nuo said.
"Your father is so happy. He said that his son had been away for many years and had never thought of getting some local specialties, good wine, or food and drinks for his father. But as soon as the daughter-in-law came in, everything was arranged. After all, the daughter-in-law is likable and much better than the conscienceless son."
Xu Nuo laughed out loud when he heard this and secretly glanced at Lu Chen.
He was eating noodles with his head down, with no expression on his face.
Noticing Xu Nuo looking at him, he glanced at Xu Nuo and said, "Why? Without a son like me who has no conscience, how can your wife's virtue stand out?"
"Tsk~" Xu Nuo rolled his eyes at him, "You did something wrong, and you still think you're right."
Aunt Lin looked at the deep affection between the young couple and couldn't help but pat Cheng Wanying on the shoulder.
Cheng Wanying looked up and met her gaze, and they both smiled knowingly.
After dinner, Cheng Wanying urged the two to go to bed early, as sitting on the train for a whole day was very tiring.
The couple agreed, said good night and went upstairs.
Lu Chen was a soldier, so what was a day's train ride like? He wasn't tired, he was in good spirits, and couldn't help wanting to do something?
Xu Nuo didn't want to do it at first, but in the end, he aroused her passion in just a few seconds...
Late at night.
Lu Huaizheng finally returned home, washed up and went to bed. He saw his wife Cheng Wanying still reading a book wearing reading glasses.
He pulled the quilt over him and came closer: "What are you looking at? It's so late. This is not like you, not sleeping so late."
Cheng Wanying smiled and pointed upstairs: "Listen."
"What are you listening to?" As soon as Lu Huaizheng finished speaking, he heard the creaking sound of the bed legs shaking from upstairs.
The sound was very rhythmic, slow and long, neither hurried nor slow...
"What's that noise upstairs?" Lu Huaizheng was stunned.
