Chapter 29
At this moment, everyone's expressions were particularly complicated.
The Lu family was full of excitement, but the two old guys were very angry. Mrs. Lu said angrily:
"Jianguo is my son. Now that he is dead, it is only right for him to leave some money for me and his father to take care of us in our old age!"
"I remember more than just the pensions, didn't I?"
Lu Huaijing suddenly interrupted, "My father died while trying to save his comrades, and the uncle who was saved felt guilty.
Every year, they send money checks, but my mother never sees anything. You guys take it all!"
It was after he joined the army that he met the uncle by chance. When he learned that they got nothing, the uncle gave all the money to him in a fit of anger.
Of course Lu Huaijing didn't want it, and also asked the uncle not to send any more money.
"It's you?!!"
When Mrs. Lu thought that the loss of her monthly fixed money was related to Lu Huaijing, she was so angry that she wanted to hit him.
How could Wang Dani tolerate her bullying her own son? "Do you dare to touch the third child?"
"If I remember correctly, my uncle sent us two thousand dollars in total, and we don't want more.
If you pay us back two thousand, including the pension, I will ask my mother to forgive you."
Crowd: !!!
Everyone was stunned by this number!
This is two thousand dollars, a huge sum of money for people these days.
"My God, these two old guys cry about poverty every day, but I didn't expect their family is so rich."
"I've always felt something was wrong. The second brother's family is all lazy, yet they eat and wear better than other people.
It turns out they are sucking Jianguo's blood, no wonder Wang Dani refuses to forgive them."
“…”
“You guys actually took so much money!”
Wang Dani had just learned about this. She stared at the old couple and said, "Where's the money? That's my Jianguo's life money!"
"Nonsense!"
Mr. Lu wanted to make excuses, but Lu Huaijing did not give them the chance.
"Unfortunately, that uncle and I belong to the same unit. Do you want me to show you the remittance list?"
"I……"
Mr. Lu felt so ashamed by the contemptuous looks from everyone that he could not bear it any longer.
"Jinbao, help me go back!"
His eldest grandson, Lu Jinbao, was also stunned. He never knew his family was so rich.
Now that he knows his family is rich, he is no longer busy trying to please Lu Huaijing!
He is already a rich man, why does he have to be so humble?
"Okay, Grandpa."
Lu Jinbao's voice was loud, and the Lu family members behind Wang Dani were so angry that they wanted to rush forward and beat him up.
Once they left, Old Lady Lu was left alone and helpless, so she could only leave in shame.
They successfully forced everyone out of the old house, but the Lu family was not happy at heart.
After all, it’s two thousand dollars!
"Mom, if it weren't for them, would our family be so rich?"
Li Cuihua loves money the most. She was so upset that she beat her feet and stamped her chest, wondering why they didn't notice something was wrong.
Those beasts got a free advantage!
“That’s not our money.”
Wang Dani wiped away her tears and said to Lu Huaijing, "Third brother, your father volunteered to save his comrades.
No one is rich these days, so tell that uncle not to send money checks to our old house in the future. If he does, you are not allowed to accept it.
Your father didn't save people for these reasons."
Her husband is a man of particularly high ideological awareness. If he knew that his parents were so shameless, he would definitely be very sad.
"Don't worry, mom. I've already talked to that uncle."
Lu Huaijing did not say that the uncle is now his leader and that the two have a good relationship.
"That's good. That's good."
Wang Dani quickly calmed down and said to the people who came to the banquet: "I have made a fool of myself in front of everyone.
Everyone, hurry up and eat, because you have to go to work in the afternoon."
When they heard there was food, these people were no longer polite. They had never eaten meat for years, and now they were drooling at the smell.
Several women who came to help in the kitchen brought radish and pork bone soup, roe deer meat stewed with potatoes, stir-fried cabbage with minced meat, and pork stewed with vermicelli.
Boiled fish, spicy and sour pork offal, cold bracken, and fried peanuts.
Six hot dishes and two cold dishes, this level is already considered a top-notch banquet in Shiping Brigade.
Although there are more side dishes than meat in it, no one cares because it is delicious after all.
"Old San's, eat quickly."
Wang Dani pulled Tang Wan to sit at the table and kept putting food into her bowl.
As soon as the dishes were served, these people started throwing their chopsticks away as if they had never eaten meat before.
Lu Huaijing moved quickly, taking care of her while also taking care of Tang Zhou who was having his first feast in the countryside.
"Qiming, what are you standing there for? Eat quickly!"
Li Cuihua was like a starving ghost, putting vegetables into the bowl vigorously.
Except for Tang Wan, Wang Shuhua and Tang Zhou, everyone else at the table was pretty quick.
In a short while, all the dishes on the table were divided up. Tang Wan stared in amazement as those who had grabbed the dishes poured them into their own bowls.
"Sister-in-law, congratulations. We still have to go to work, so we'll leave first."
"Jing Yazi, work hard and try to have two babies in three years."
"I'll take this dish back to let the children share in the good fortune. You guys take your time to enjoy it."
“…”
The group left the Lu family chatting and laughing, and their table was the only one left in the entire Lu family.
Tang Wan: …
"I am always surprised by what I have seen!"
Li Cuihua had meat in her mouth and was eating it happily, which made Wang Dani glare at her.
"Eat yours."
Tang Wan also lowered her head and started to eat. She had to say that the chefs who prepared banquets these days had quite good cooking skills.
There isn't much meat in the dish, but it still tastes very meaty.
"Is it enough? If not, I have more here."
Lu Huaijing sat next to Tang Wan. In fact, there was less food in his bowl than Tang Wan, so she quickly refused.
"No, these are enough for me."
Everyone finished their meal quickly, and Wang Dani, together with the woman she had invited to help, quickly cleaned up the dishes in the yard.
Lu Huaijing and his brothers returned the borrowed tables, chairs and benches to the owner.
Not only the tables and chairs, but even many of the bowls were borrowed from other people, with names written on the bottom of the bowls.
Li Cuihua was so dizzy from washing the dishes that she couldn't help but said in a sarcastic tone, "Third sister-in-law, didn't you see we were washing the dishes?
You are so embarrassed to stand there, we are all busy talking about you and the third brother."
Tang Wan, who was about to help sweep the floor, froze. Before she could reply, Wang Dani started scolding Li Cuihua.
"What are you making such a fuss about? Did I not let you rest or eat enough when you got married?"
Li Cuihua: …
She lowered her head to wash the dishes and didn't dare to say anything to Wang Dani. Wang Dani sent Tang Wan back to the new house.
"Old Third, you have special privileges as you are getting married today. If anyone dares to say anything bad about you, come find me."
"Thank you, mother."
Tang Wan felt very touched. She thought that Wang Dani was a better mother-in-law than many mothers-in-law in later generations.
Just as they were about to enter the house, they caught a glimpse of Lu Huaimei sneaking back into the house.
Wang Dani's face darkened and she roared, "Lu Huaimei, come here!"
Wang Dani's hands began to itch when she thought that Lu Hongying's trouble was related to Lu Huaimei.
