Chapter 82: Who will be buried in the future?
Lu Zhenping's words were like pouring a cup of cold water into hot oil, which instantly made people dizzy. However, he stood there calmly, as if he had no idea how destructive his words could be.
Lu Changzhu saw that he said these words at the gate of his own yard just to support Shen Meng. Otherwise, he could have closed the door and sat down with his family to talk, instead of saying in front of everyone that his younger brother had no ability at all and that he could only get a temporary job in the commune because of him, the eldest brother.
He blamed himself for stretching his hands too far as a father, but this bastard didn't know what happened. If he knew, he would definitely side with their Lu family.
"Zhenping, you just came home and don't know what happened at home. You are on your wife's side. Daddy doesn't blame you. Daddy has to tell you something. Your wife is really capable. She bought a bicycle without saying anything and got a note from the brick factory. The note was not even warm before she took it back to her parents' home. Tell me whether such a wife should be beaten. You are not at home, and your brothers cannot beat her. Naturally, I, as a father, will beat her for you, otherwise she will have to ride on your neck and pee and poop in the future."
Lu Zhenping didn't say anything. His father's words contained a lot of information. The people standing outside started to talk about it, but he looked Shen Meng up and down.
Shen Meng: "......."
What does that mean? Why does it feel like he is discriminating against her height? ? ?
Zhou Jiaojiao's face turned pale. Lu Zhenping had just belittled Lu Jiaxuan in front of so many people. She felt very upset. She had thought that Shen Meng would have a hard time waiting for her eldest brother to come back. After all, she had heard from Wu Xianglan that the relationship between her eldest brother and his wife was very cold, so she believed it.
But her elder brother ignored everyone and went to check Shen Meng's injury first, which made her feel uneasy. Last time when she fought with Shen Meng for the bicycle, she was actually very sure that the bicycle must have been bought by her elder brother for Jiaxuan. As her father said, it was such an honor and respect to be able to work in the commune, so she had to buy a bicycle to show off.
She was looking forward to her elder brother coming back and giving the bicycle to her Jiaxuan. Then she could ride it whenever she wanted and go wherever she wanted.
Now it seems that it is not going to work, and what is more frightening is that her temporary job at Jiaxuan is also a bit uncertain. It has not even been a full month, and I don't know whether I will be paid.
After Lu Changzhu finished speaking, Liu Sanjin, Wu Xianglan and Lu Jiahe all stared at Lu Zhenping, wanting to see how he would deal with Shen Meng. After all, these are all Lu family's things, and it doesn't make sense for him, the eldest son of the Lu family, to help outsiders.
"Since we have separated, we can just live our own lives. The money is in her hands, and she has the final say on what she wants to buy. How come I send her an allowance, and she has to give me a list of how much she spends every month? Also, she has a receipt from the brick factory, is it a favor from the Lu family or a favor from me? It's her own thing, so she has the final say on who she wants to give it to, Dad and Mom, what do you think?"
"But...but, she is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. She must be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Lu family after she dies, and the things naturally belong to the Lu family."
Lu Zhenping finished the last puff of his cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt against the wall. What a pity, this was the last cigarette in a pack that Ma Xiang bought for him when he came back. He originally wanted to smoke to his heart's content, but he didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing. Anyone who goes home and sees the whole family bullying his wife and children will not be at peace.
"Shen Meng is young, what are you talking about? What's more, she and her children are living such a miserable life. Her parents-in-law can bring her brother-in-law and sister-in-law to beat them up at any time. Who knows where she will be buried in the future, so Dad, don't say it so early."
"You, what are you talking about? How can she leave you? You are..."
Lu Zhenping said with a laugh, "Who am I? I'm just a poor soldier. I finally got married at an old age, and she has been living a widow with me every day. She didn't curse me, so you two should just thank God. What are you thinking? You even come to beat her up. Don't you think she is pitiful enough?"
Lu Changzhu, Liu Sanjin and the others' faces turned pale and blue, but Lu Zhenping's mouth was still open. He kept talking and tore off the Lu family's fig leaf in front of so many people. He was determined to help Shen Meng get back the face today.
"The army has called on everyone to take care of the military families. Among these military families, the wife of an officer is the first to take care of her. I have not been home for three years. All the big and small matters at home, the care of the children's food and clothing, major illnesses and minor disasters, and interpersonal relationships, are not all relying on her. When I retire from the army with a lot of pain, I don't know if it will be my parents who can take care of me, or my younger brothers and sisters?"
There was another silence. He was really good at talking, and coupled with his own aura, the Lu family, including those who had not left the door, all stared at him in a daze.
At this point, Wu Xianglan and Zhou Jiaojiao both lowered their heads. Even if they wanted to show off, they couldn't say that they would take care of their uncle. This was telling everyone that they came here to bully Shen Meng. Even if she ran away, they would take care of the children and Lu Zhenping!
This was too shameless!!!
Lu Jiasheng felt very sad. During the few days he took care of Xie Jing in the hospital, he had already experienced that young couples are companions in old age. As long as the couple worked together, it would be fine. Their determination to separate was unshakable.
"Since you are silent, let me continue. Dad and Mom, since we have already separated and the brick and tile business belongs to Shen Meng, then why are you coming to our house to fight?"
Lu Changzhu was speechless, but he was the one who beat her. He stiffened his neck and said, "So, I beat your wife, and you can let her beat me back? I am your father!"
"Big brother, what are you doing? Aren't parents doing this for your own good? If we sell or give away the bricks and tiles, won't all the benefits go to the children of Mingyang? Parents don't want to take advantage of this. Your parents and I are old, and we live for you. Why can't you understand your parents' painstaking efforts?"
Lu Zhenping shook his head. It was obviously unrealistic to let Shen Meng fight back. If this got out, it would definitely break Shen Meng's spine. It is estimated that Shen Meng's heroic deeds would be spread throughout the county.
He turned his head and looked at Shen Meng steadily, waiting for her to make a decision.
