Wang Lijuan still insisted: "Brother, my third sister-in-law really didn't send us bear meat, please stop making trouble."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuying immediately said, "Second sister-in-law, if you said you didn't send it, then you didn't send it! Otherwise, let us look for it..."
As he said that, he rushed into the kitchen and started searching everywhere. Lu Jianguo and Lu Jingyi also came in and started rummaging through the drawers.
Lu Jianmin and Wang Xiujuan were so angry that their faces turned pale, and Lu Xiaomei was crying beside them.
Lu Jianmin wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Lu Wei, who cried and said, "Second Uncle, you have meat but you won't give it to us, why are you so stingy?"
At this moment, Li Xiuying found the pot of bear meat that Wang Xiujuan had hidden in the firewood pile, brought it to Liu Cuihua and said, "Mom, what do you think this is?"
When Wang Lijuan saw it, she tried to rush forward to grab it, but was stopped by Lu Jianguo.
When Liu Cuihua saw Li Xiuying found the bear meat, she pointed at Lu Jianmin and said, "Second brother, if this isn't meat, then what is it? You are such an unfilial son. You really have forgotten your mother after getting married. There is obviously plenty of meat at home, but you didn't send some to your parents. You shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place..."
Lu Jianmin’s face turned pale and his eyes were red, but he could only hold it in. The word “filial piety” can crush a person!
When he wanted to divide the family property, he looked down on his wife and treated her as if she had only given birth to a daughter. She had never even given him a quilt, but now she only wants him to take care of her in her old age. After his third brother's wife finally sent him a few pounds of bear meat, she came to snatch it.
Seeing that the bear meat was in hand, Liu Cuihua ordered, "Son, let's go..."
"Grandma, you can't take away my meat! I haven't eaten it yet." Lu Xiaomei rushed forward to stop Liu Cuihua and said aggrievedly.
"You little girl, you're a money-loser. What meat are you eating? This meat should be given to our Wei'er..." As he said this, he slapped Lu Xiaomei in the face.
When Wang Lijuan saw her daughter being beaten, she couldn't bear it anymore!
She immediately broke free from Lu Chengguo's obstruction like crazy and rushed towards Liu Cuihua.
Her eyes were red and her hair was a little messy. "Why did you hit my daughter? How can you be so cruel!" Wang Lijuan's voice was tearful but full of anger.
Liu Cuihua was startled by Wang Lijuan's sudden outburst and subconsciously took a step back, but quickly steadied herself. "What are you doing? Are you committing a crime? What does it have to do with you when I teach my granddaughter a lesson?"
Wang Lijuan trembled, pointed at Liu Cuihua and said, "You have never considered us family members. You ignored us when the family was divided, and now you come to grab the meat and beat people. This meat was given to my family by my third brother's wife. Don't even think about taking it away!"
Seeing this, Lu Jianguo hurried forward and grabbed Wang Lijuan, "Second brother's wife, don't be impulsive. If this matter gets out of hand, it will not be good for anyone."
Wang Lijuan struggled, "Brother, you are going too far. Aren't the injustices we have suffered over the years enough?"
Lu Jianmin also walked quickly to Lu Xiaomei's side to check on his daughter's injuries. Looking at the red palm prints on her face, his heartache turned into resentment towards her mother, "Mom, you're going too far. If you dare to take this meat today, don't even think about me recognizing you as my mother again!"
Liu Cuihua's eyes widened. "How dare you threaten me? I'm your mother!"
Lu Jingyi fanned the flames, "Second brother, how can you talk to mother like that? It's just a little bear meat, it's only natural for mother to take it."
Lu Jianmin gritted his teeth and said, "This is not about the meat, it's about your attitude towards our family. I can't let you bully my wife and daughter like this anymore."
At this time, the neighbors heard the noise and gathered around, pointing fingers at the Lu family's farce...
"Rebellious son, what do you want?" Liu Cuihua was furious.
"Even if you put the meat down, you are still my mother, and I will still give you the five yuan pension every month. If you don't put it down, don't even think about getting a penny from me from now on." Lu Jianmin said.
When Liu Cuihua heard this, she was shocked.
He immediately fell to the ground and cried out, "You unfilial son, you married a wife and forgot your mother! I raised you with my own hard work, and now you treat me like this..."
Seeing this, Wang Lijuan couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed forward like crazy and tried to grab the pot from Li Xiuying's hand. Li Xiuying naturally refused to give it to her, so Wang Lijuan stepped heavily on the instep of Li Xiuying's foot.
Li Xiuying cried out in pain. She wasn't paying attention and the pot flipped over, falling onto the dusty ground, splashing the soup everywhere...
The bear meat rolled all over the ground, covered with dust and dirt, and instantly attracted the attention of two dogs nearby. They gathered around, growling and fighting for it.
Seeing this, Lu Wei cried and tried to drive away the wild dogs to get the bear meat back, but was frightened by a dog and fell to the ground.
Lu Jianguo hurried to help Lu Wei up, while Lu Jingyi screamed beside him.
When Liu Cuihua saw the bear meat being ruined, she threw a tantrum and cried even louder, calling Wang Lijuan her nemesis and jinx.
Lu Jianmin looked at the chaotic scene, his heart filled with sadness and helplessness. He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the emotions that were about to burst.
Lu Xiaomei hid behind her father, her eyes full of fear and grievance, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of Lu Jianmin's clothes.
Wang Lijuan stood there blankly, her eyes empty and tears still lingering on her face. This farce had left her physically and mentally exhausted, with mixed feelings in her heart, and her disappointment in this family had reached its peak.
The neighbors were talking about it, some shook their heads and sighed, some pointed and talked.
Amidst the noise and chaos, someone invited Captain Li over, followed by Old Man Lu.
In fact, Captain Li really didn't have a good impression of the Lu family, but if the Lu family continued to make trouble like this, it would be too bad if it got out.
Captain Li glanced at Old Man Lu and said, "Mr. Lu, quickly persuade your wife to go back. What's the point of you guys continuing to make trouble like this?"
Old Man Lu sighed helplessly, slowly walked towards Liu Cuihua who was still throwing a tantrum on the ground and said, "Cuihua, stop making a fuss. This is so disgraceful. Let's go home and discuss this matter carefully."
Liu Cuihua shook off Old Man Lu's hand and said, "Let's discuss this in the long run? This rebellious son is so unfilial. I must ask for an explanation today!"
Old Man Lu frowned, "What will you achieve by making such a fuss? It will only make others laugh at you."
Captain Li also stepped forward and said seriously: "Liu Cuihua, if you continue to make trouble like this, I will deal with you according to the village rules. This bear meat was given to Jianmin's family by the third daughter-in-law, so it is wrong for you to fight for it like this."
Upon hearing this, Liu Cuihua sat up and pointed at Captain Li and said, "You ate the bear meat from my third son's family. Why do you punish me? This is my family's business. My son is unfilial. I want everyone to judge for me!"
Captain Li was so angry that his face turned pale and he was about to lose his temper when Liu Cuihua interrupted him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Jianguo quickly said to Captain Li: "Captain, this is all a misunderstanding. We just wanted to take the bear meat back for our parents to eat, but we didn't expect it to turn out like this."
