Chapter 175: Find a scapegoat
When Shen Meng brought her husband and children back to the old house, there was already a huge commotion there. Several people from the Liu family and Wu Xianglan, Zhou Jiaojiao, Lu Jiaxuan, Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua were fighting each other until they were bruised and battered. Especially Lu Lanhua and Lu Miaomiao, their clothes were torn, which showed how fierce the fight was. They fought desperately. She had spent so much money just for work, but now she had lost her money and her job, her wife and her soldiers, and her family's assets. Now she had nothing left, so how could she stop?
Zhou Jiaojiao was crying while holding onto the door frame. When she saw Shen Meng coming over, she immediately turned her head away. She felt that Shen Meng came over with his family just to make fun of her.
"Hand over the things you took, and we will still be considered relatives. We will forget what we should and shouldn't say after we leave this yard. We can still interact in the future. If you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."
"We have never seen the thing you are talking about. We are poor, but we cannot slander you like that. I am not being rude, but today I will see how you are going to be rude, you little bastard. If I had not brought your mother back from Hegouzi that year, you wouldn't be here anymore!"
Liu Sanjin's eyes were red with anger because her daughter-in-law's textile factory notice was lost. She also hated her own family for not living up to her expectations. No matter what, she had paid enough over the years. She pretended not to know some things when they came here during the New Year, and it was nothing to give them some money. They shouldn't have set their sights on her daughter-in-law's job. This was too much.
But she didn't hold on for long. When she heard her elder brother say these words, her expression suddenly withered. Yes, because she was a girl, her family didn't want her at all. Her parents threw her into a ditch and told people that she was dead. It was her elder brother who ran away for a long time, found her in the ditch, and brought her back.
No matter how many years have passed, she owes him a life.
"Jiaxuan, let your uncle and the others go. If there is anything that cannot be dealt with during the New Year, Jiaojiao is the savior of the textile factory director's family. Just say that a thief broke into the house and stole the notice. Plead for mercy and beg for mercy. Maybe... maybe someone can arrange a job for you."
Lu Jiaxuan frowned tightly when he listened to his mother's words, and Zhou Jiaojiao cried even more miserably.
"Mom, mom, those are my things. Even if I am a benefactor, so what? People have given me so many things and a stable job. I have already repaid such a great favor. A stable job for a lifetime should be passed on to my children. Such a precious thing is lost. How can I ask them for another one? Wuwuwuwu... Mom, how can you say such cruel words!"
Seeing his little daughter-in-law crying, Liu Sanjin shrank his neck and almost didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Lu Jiaxuan looked at his wife crying, his heart ached. He scanned the area with his eagle eyes and paused on Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua for a while. Among these people, the least likely one was his second sister-in-law. She had always been on good terms with Jiaojiao, and usually Jiaojiao would think of her, Yongqiang and Yongli when she got something good. Besides, she was a greedy person. Although there were some frictions between the two because of Liu Suqin's incident last time, he believed that his second sister-in-law would not do such a thing.
Miaomiao and Lanhua are different. They have been lazy and gluttonous since childhood. They want to marry in the city. One would rather marry a disabled woman, and the other married an older woman. As long as they can live in the city, they don't care what the woman is like. Such selfish people rarely go home. They can't work so hard for Jiaojiao. There must be something they don't know.
Needless to say, the Liu family is used to being messy. There is every reason to suspect that they must have something else besides the money and food given by their mother.
"Hey, what happened? Why did they start fighting? I brought Zhenping here to see my uncle off, but how did they fight so fiercely?"
Lu Changzhu, who had been invisible since the fight started, stood up, walked a few steps to the two of them, sighed and said, "Zhenping, look at what a mess our family has become since you were not here. The fourth brother and his wife said that the notice from the textile factory in the house was missing. Xianglan rushed over when she heard it, and Lanhua and Miaomiao also started quarreling. After all, they started fighting. It's a mess. What do you think we should do about this?"
Lu Zhenping glanced at him. He was asked to take care of the matter, but he would get himself into trouble if he didn't.
"Xiao Meng and I just came to see off our uncle. As for whether the owners are the fourth brother and his wife, it's up to them to decide. They can report to the police if they want, or find the village cadres if they want. The fourth brother is working in the commune now, so he can be considered a state cadre. This matter is not a big deal, but it's not a small matter either. The fourth brother will make his own judgment."
Lu Jiaxuan was visibly stunned when he heard what his eldest brother said. Since his eldest brother came home, he has been scolded several times. He felt unwilling, wronged, uncomfortable, humiliated, and a series of emotions in his heart. But he didn't expect that his eldest brother would say this to him now, saying that he would make his own judgment. Doesn't this also mean that his eldest brother actually admits in his heart that he is a capable person?
Shen Meng looked at Lu Jiaxuan looking at Lu Zhenping with starry eyes, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.
Did she just say a simple compliment and it moved the hero so much? If he knew that when they came here, it was she who repeatedly told Lu Zhenping to say nice things when he arrived at the old house, I wonder if he would be broken.
Lu Changzhu felt much more relaxed. Zhenping still cared about their family. This kid was just straightforward and tongue-tied, and didn't like to say those sticky words. Forget it, as a father, how could he argue with him?
"Then call the police. Jiaojiao got this job with great difficulty. I saw her take it out to look at it this morning. It is impossible that she lost it for no reason. Anyone who entered her room is a suspect. If you don't tell me, I will report it to the police."
Wu Xianglan was panicked for a moment when seeing these people, whether they were from the Liu family or Lu Miaomiao. Only Lu Lanhua was calm and composed. She looked calm, but she was crying in pain in her heart. She was thinking about whether she should tell them that she had just bought her eldest sister-in-law's job. Only the two of them knew about this. If she told them and didn't admit it, would people suspect her? But if she didn't tell them, she would be taken to the police station. It would not be good for her reputation if she was taken to the police station. Her husband would probably beat her up then.
Shen Meng looked at Liu Sanjin who was shrinking to one side, her eyes turned, she originally wanted to give the notice in her hand to Wu Xianglan alone, and completely pull it to her side, but at this moment she suddenly changed her mind, it would be better to let this old thing be a shining scapegoat.
