Chapter 31
Is it related to the land sinking?
Upon hearing this, not to mention Meng Yinyin, even Meng Xuan became serious, and then both of them pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what Wang Chengwu had to say.
Seeing this, Wang Chengwu stopped wasting time and quickly told Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan some details he had found out during this period.
Actually, this matter is somewhat related to Meng Yinyin. After all, if he had not taken the opportunity to go back to her parents' home with his eldest sister-in-law Lu Xiujuan to see Meng Yinyin last time, he probably would not have discovered the strangeness of the Lu family.
The strangest thing about the Lu family is that their ancestors had been poor farmers for three generations, but they suddenly had enough money to build a grand courtyard.
That time he asked Lu Xiujuan a question casually, but all he got was a flickering look in her eyes and a guilty reaction. Wang Chengwu then realized that the truth of this matter might not be simple.
In order to prevent Lu Xiujuan's family affairs from affecting his own family, Wang Chengwu tried his best to investigate the truth of the matter for a period of time.
Unexpectedly, after a period of hard work, he actually found some clues, and these clues were personally pried out from his sister-in-law Lu Xiujuan.
After Lu Xiujuan married into their family, perhaps because of her personality, she was extremely cautious towards the Wang family, as if she was afraid that she would be scolded or disliked if she did something wrong.
But in fact, the Wang family members have nice personalities. Although Wang's mother, Ms. Zhao Shufen, would occasionally say a few words, she would just say them casually and would not take it to heart.
But Lu Xiujuan was too sensitive and had too low self-esteem. She couldn't stand hearing even a word of dissatisfaction. She would cry and feel upset when she heard it, and make a face as if she was bullied.
It was okay once or twice, and everyone could still advise and comfort her, but when it happened too many times, they already felt that they were not suitable for each other, and it became a problem to continue living together.
Therefore, the old couple of the Wang family have been thinking about whether to clean up the other house and let the eldest son and Lu Xiujuan move out. In this way, both parties can avoid some friction caused by personality differences.
However, this would be a bit unfair to the second son. After all, they have two sons, but unfortunately there is only one extra house. Logically, the eldest son should take care of them in their old age. Now this big house is more suitable for the eldest son and his wife. When the second son gets married, they can live in the smaller house.
But the current situation is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
Finally, the old couple thought about it and realized that the second son had not found a suitable partner for a long time. He finally met someone who was willing to get along with him, but the other person rejected him. Who knows how long he will have to wait for him to get married.
So they thought that maybe they could let the eldest son and his wife move out first, and deal with the second son's issues after he gets married. At least they could solve the current problems first.
So the old couple decided to talk to their two sons first to see if they were willing. If they had no objection, they would implement this method first.
The two sons of the Wang family were obedient and filial, and the relationship between the brothers had always been good, so they agreed to their parents' proposal without any hesitation or complaints.
But what they didn't expect was that although they had discussed it and the two brothers had made a decision, problems arose with Lu Xiujuan.
When Wang Chengwen, the eldest son of the Wang family, went to tell Lu Xiujuan what his parents had agreed to, Lu Xiujuan was shocked and panicked at first. She couldn't help wondering if she had done something wrong and was disliked by her parents-in-law, so they asked her and Wang Chengwen to move out.
She was so panicked!
But after the panic, a wave of anger and resentment quickly surged up.
She had visited the Wang family's other house, which was a small one-bedroom, one-living room apartment. In fact, such a house was just right for the two of them to live in, and it was even quite spacious. However, no matter how good that house was, it could not be compared with the current three-bedroom house.
Moreover, Wang Chengming is obviously the eldest brother, and he should inherit the big house. But now the couple are forced by Wang's parents to live in the small house. Is this fair? This is totally unfair!
When she thought of this, Lu Xiujuan got angry. She was angry that Wang's parents were partial to their younger son. Maybe it was because they were partial to their younger son that they treated her badly and criticized her in all kinds of ways!
Lu Xiujuan was originally narrow-minded, sensitive and suspicious. This incident seemed to confirm her guess.
So that night, the eldest brother Wang Chengwen's house burst into tears, and while crying, he seemed to be shouting words like "biased", "bullying", "hate me", etc.
In other rooms, Wang's parents and Wang Chengwu's faces all turned grim.
The next day, Wang Chengwen told his parents and Wang Chengwu what happened last night with embarrassment and fatigue. Wang's parents were elders and they were also kind people. Since Lu Xiujuan was so reluctant to move out, they couldn't say anything more.
After all, if Lu Xiujuan and her eldest son had to be forced to move out, that wouldn't be a good idea.
At worst they can just bear with it, since this is their own daughter-in-law.
Just as they were about to continue to endure it, Wang Chengwu spoke with a firm attitude.
"Let's think about this matter again. If it doesn't work, I'll go talk to my sister-in-law about it."
Unlike his parents and older brother, he is not as gentle as they come. He will not endure or suffer just to consider other people's feelings. His attitude is tougher and he is more able to keep a straight face.
The parents and eldest brother were used to Wang Chengwu's tough attitude at this time, so they agreed to let Wang Chengwu and Lu Xiujuan discuss the matter.
When Wang Chengwu called Lu Xiujuan out to discuss moving out, she was completely confused. She thought that since she cried so much last night, the matter would just be over according to the temper of her husband and in-laws.
Who knows that things are easier for them, but this brother-in-law is not someone who will easily give in.
Especially after spending some time together, Lu Xiujuan herself discovered that the person with the most say in the family was actually Wang Chengwu. He was not only smart, but also extremely strong-willed, and in her opinion, he was also the most difficult to get along with.
Lu Xiujuan was very nervous when facing him and wanted to keep crying, but Wang Chengwu did not give her the chance and directly asked Lu Xiujuan what was wrong with the house.
How could Lu Xiujuan dare to tell the truth? She said that she felt her in-laws were biased and didn't like her, so they drove her out.
But faced with Wang Chengwu's expression of not giving up until she got an answer, she could only rack her brains and finally planned to say that she was reluctant to separate from everyone and wanted to continue living together and take care of everyone.
But before she could say anything, Wang Chengwu asked her: "Sister-in-law, you don't think the house is too small, do you? To be honest, it seems that our family's conditions are indeed not as good as yours in the countryside. Your house is big and spacious. It's normal for you to think that the house is too small. It's a pity that our family only has such conditions. If you really think it is too small, I'm afraid you can only find someone else..."
Before Wang Chengwu could finish his words, Lu Xiujuan interrupted him with a pale face. She couldn't understand what Wang Chengwu meant. He meant that if she didn't like the house, she might as well get a divorce and find someone with a bigger house.
This means that Wang Chengwen wants to divorce her. How could she agree to that?
In a state of nervousness and panic, Lu Xiujuan could no longer hold back her emotions and quickly explained that she had no such intention and did not mean to abandon the small size of the house.
But Wang Chengwu still looked unconvinced.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that you grew up in a big house since you were very young. Your house is so magnificent. If you dislike ours, we can understand..."
"No! We were poor before! That house was built later. I didn't grow up in a big house!"
As if she was afraid that Wang Chengwu had really misunderstood, Lu Xiujuan quickly spoke up to explain the matter clearly.
Wang Chengwu's eyes flashed and he asked calmly.
"Sister-in-law, your family was able to build such a big yard. It can be seen that the conditions must be very good. The house must cost thousands of dollars. Unlike us, although we look like workers and look glamorous on the surface, in fact..."
At this time, Lu Xiujuan was so shocked by the huge panic that she could no longer control her thoughts and emotions. She no longer remembered that she could not casually reveal her family secrets.
Besides, she had actually been instilled with some truths by Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua, such as "a daughter who is married off is like spilled water" and "once you get married, you belong to someone else's family".
So strictly speaking, she felt that after marriage, she and her husband's family were her only family, and her parents' family had to take a back seat.
So in the end she told Wang Chengwu directly how she got the money to renovate her house.
"My family is very poor, really poor. The reason we were able to afford that house was actually because of my second uncle..."
"Did your uncle lend you money?"
"No...my parents used my second uncle's pension..."
Lu Xiujuan’s words shocked Wang Chengwu!
But he did not show it. Instead, he calmly moved on from the topic and said that he would discuss the issue of living together with his parents. Then he did not say anything to Lu Xiujuan for the time being.
After all, after learning this secret, Wang Chengwu had no time to think about other problems.
Besides being shocked, he was also more panicked.
He is not stupid. Just from the attitude of Lu Dashan and his wife towards Lu Chen that he saw last time, as well as the huge gap between the two families, he can tell how badly Lu Dashan and his wife treat Lu Chen.
But Lu Chen is the son of Lu Xiujuan's second uncle, and his only son, so he should be the heir to the pension.
As a result, his father's pension was actually used by Lu Xiujuan's parents. This is not only a moral mistake, but also illegal!
Now Wang Chengwu is even more certain that Lu Xiujuan's appropriation of Lu Chen's father's pension will affect their family. He has been in a complicated mood these past two days. He appeared on the street during working hours today because he had made up his mind to confess the matter to Lu Chen.
Although he cares about his parents very much, the best way is to pretend that he doesn't know about it and not tell anyone, so that he won't be implicated.
But once this matter gets to know about it, they will still be implicated!
What's more, now that he knew the secret, he would feel guilty if he didn't confess it to Lu Chen, the victim.
That's why he planned to take a leave and go to the Nanjiao Brigade to tell Lu Chen about this.
However, before he arrived at the Nanjiao Brigade, he met Meng Yinyin, and then decided to reveal this matter to her first, and let Meng Yinyin tell Lu Chen about it.
Because he really didn't know how to deal with the sinking.
After all, Lu Xiujuan is now the daughter-in-law of their Wang family. I guess Lu Chen would be unhappy to see her.
After hearing this, Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan had completely different reactions.
Meng Yinyin's face was filled with shock. She had never expected that Lu Dashan's house was bought in this way.
How could they do this? It's so shameless and too much!
Meng Xuan, on the other hand, had an expression that said "as expected", and also looked a bit pleased.
After all, it seems like there is one more clue and evidence, right?
"Comrade Wang Chengwu, right? Okay, we will tell Lu Chen about this when we get back, but I still have to remind you that Lu Dashan's behavior is illegal and criminal. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
Although Lu Dashan doesn't have a close relationship with them, there is still Lu Xiujuan. Who knows if she will let them go home and do something in the future?
For example, ask them to help find connections.
Wang Chengwu was a smart man. He immediately understood what Meng Xuan meant. Hearing this, he immediately said righteously: "Comrade Meng Xuan, please rest assured. We, the Wang family, are all law-abiding citizens. We will never commit crimes, confuse right and wrong, or help the tyrants to commit atrocities!"
Meng Xuan was very satisfied with his reaction, smiled and continued speaking.
"Okay, on behalf of the organization, I would like to thank you first, but there is one more thing I may need your help with."
