"Mom, I won't beat around the bush in front of others. I really mean this. You have lived in this house for three years now! Not only you, but you also brought your elder brother, his wife, younger brother, and younger sister here.
But my children and I have lived in the kitchen for more than three years! I think you should go and experience what it is like to live in the kitchen..."
"You...you...wait until San'er comes back and see how I'll deal with you!" Liu Cuihua said angrily.
"Go? You're going? I want to see how Lu Cheng will deal with me.
After he got married, he abandoned his wife and children for five years and didn't care about them. Is this how the army taught him to treat his wife and children like this?
If he dares to deal with me, I will report your family's abuse of my mother and me to the village, the town, and the army commander. Let's see if he still wants to stay in the army."
"Lin Yuexi, you disobedient and unfilial thing, how dare you..." Liu Cuihua gritted her teeth and said, why didn't she think that this bitch was so powerful? You know, she would never let her in even if she was beaten to death.
Also, when she was giving birth to the dog and the cat, she should not have been allowed to give birth safely. She should have been forced to have a difficult labor, so that one would have died and three would have died!
"Why shouldn't I dare? Even a dog will jump over the wall when it's cornered? You treat me like this and you don't even allow me to resist..." Lin Yuexi said angrily.
Liu Cuihua was choked by Lin Yuexi's decisive words and was speechless for a long time. Her chest heaved violently, her face turned blue and white, and her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat Lin Yuexi alive.
"You are so good, Lin Yuexi. You seem to be silent on weekdays, but it turns out that you are plotting something bad here! Don't be so complacent. San'er always listens to me the most. How could he believe your lies?" Liu Cuihua shouted with all her strength.
Lin Yuexi sneered and took a step forward, forcing Liu Cuihua to step back unconsciously. "Mom, please stop deceiving yourself. No matter how filial Lu Cheng is, he won't ignore the life and death of his wife and children.
The villagers and neighbors are all aware of the life we have been living in the past few years. If things really get out of hand, everyone’s spit will drown the Lu family.”
"Why are you arguing? How can you live like this? Old woman, you too. I asked the third wife to move in. You've already vacated the house. Why are you still making a fuss? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors..." Lu Zhendong, who had just returned from work, shouted at Liu Cuihua.
Liu Cuihua, however, was like a lit firecracker that exploded in an instant. She turned to Lu Zhendong and shouted, "You old man, you are pretending to be a good person now! Didn't you support sending them to the kitchen at the beginning? Now you are turning around and talking about me..."
Lu Zhendong slammed the hoe in his hand and said with a sullen face, "That's enough! When the third child was in the army and didn't come back, you all suspected that the two children she gave birth to were not Cheng'er's? Now that I think about it, this is just a figment of the imagination and not true. So you should control your temper. The third child's wife has lived in the kitchen for so long, and it is our Lu family who has treated her badly."
Lin Yuexi, who was standing nearby, became furious when she heard this. It turned out that you, Lu Zhendong, were also responsible for driving the original owner and her two children to live in the kitchen.
It's true that "a kind man is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden"! The original owner was bullied by them because he was too honest. Didn't he become a little tougher when he came? Were they afraid?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuexi said, "Dad, don't you think it's too late for you to say this now? If you had a little compassion at the beginning, my child and I wouldn't have lived in the kitchen for more than three years. Now, you just want to let it go with a simple "I treated you unfairly"?"
Lin Yuexi stared straight at Lu Zhendong, without any intention of backing off. "In the past few years, when my child was sick, I begged my mother-in-law to find a doctor, but she just stood by and watched. I, as a woman, took on all the heavy work at home, and had to endure the wrath of my sister-in-law and the others. I remember every grievance I suffered."
Lu Zhendong's face was full of embarrassment. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to respond.
Liu Cuihua snorted coldly, "Hmph, stop pretending to be pitiful. Everyone in your family has gone through this. Are you the only one who is delicate?"
Lin Yuexi laughed in anger: "Mother-in-law, you are really good at telling lies. My elder brother and sister-in-law live in my big tiled house and enjoy a comfortable life. My younger brothers and sisters study and play, while I take the children to the kitchen, eating leftovers and wearing patched and worn clothes. How can this be the same? If you think I am easy to bully, let's invite all the elders in the village today to judge whether I am ignorant or the Lu family is too ruthless!"
"Third brother's wife, it's already late today. You should go make some food first and take the children to bed early. We can talk about anything tomorrow, okay?" Lu Zhendong comforted Lin Yuexi.
"Dad, Mom clearly doesn't want me to move in. Even if I move in, will I still have a good life in the future? I think we should go find the team leader first and sort out this matter first..." Lin Yuexi was about to rush out after saying this.
Seeing this, Liu Cuihua stepped forward and stretched out her hand to grab Lin Yuexi's arm tightly, her face full of panic and ferocity: "How dare you! If you find the captain, our Lu family will lose face. How can we raise our heads in the village in the future!"
Lin Yuexi immediately shook off Liu Cuihua's hand, straightened her clothes, and looked at him coldly: "Mother-in-law, are you afraid of losing face now? What were you doing before! When you were wantonly controlling me and the children in the past few years, why didn't you think about the reputation of the Lu family? I'm going to say this today. If you don't solve this matter thoroughly, you won't have a peaceful life!"
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the yard. It turned out that the neighbors had just returned from work. When they heard the noisy situation in the yard, they couldn't help but gather together to watch the fun.
Everyone was whispering and talking at the gate of the courtyard, and their eyes were occasionally cast towards the few people in the courtyard who were in a tense situation.
When Lin Yuexi saw this, she thought to herself, this is God’s help, the villagers came just in time, and I don’t have to yell at everyone to come over.
Lu Zhendong looked at the villagers who were gathering more and more, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He lowered his voice and said to Lin Yuexi, "Old Third Wife, let's not make such a big noise. We can discuss it. You tell me what to do, and I will do whatever you want. Can you keep your voice down and let everyone go?"
Lin Yuexi pretended not to hear it, but raised her voice to the people outside the courtyard and said, "Dear uncles, aunts, grandpas and aunts, I am really sorry to have disturbed you all today. But I really can't live like this anymore, and I would like to ask everyone to judge for me.
Over the years since I married into the Lu family, Lu Cheng has been away from home all year round. I have been taking care of my two children and focusing on managing the family. I never expected that my mother-in-law, my eldest brother and his wife would occupy my three large tiled houses and force me and my children to live in the kitchen for more than three years. They also made things difficult for me on weekdays..."
Before he could finish his words, there were sighs from the crowd, and everyone looked at the Lu family with condemnation in their eyes.
Liu Cuihua was angry and anxious. She rushed over and tried to cover Lin Yuexi's mouth, shouting, "You are such a jinx who talks nonsense. Don't ruin the reputation of my Lu family here!"
