Lu Jianguo looked at Li Xiuying and said disappointedly: "Li Xiuying, I trusted you so much, but you actually hooked up with this second-rate guy behind my back! I think the third daughter-in-law is right, you did something shameful yourself, and you want to drag others down with you!"
As soon as Lu Jianguo said this, Li Xiuying burst into tears: "Jianguo, how can you not believe me? I have been in the Lu family for so many years, and even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. How can you speak for an outsider?"
At this time, the second-rate guy gradually regained consciousness. He was stunned when he saw the crowd around him, and then he showed a sly smile. "Lu Jianguo, this is not my fault. It was your wife who seduced me. I was just confused for a moment..."
When Li Xiuying heard this, she angrily rushed towards the second-rate guy: "You are talking nonsense! You scoundrel!"
Everyone rushed forward to pull them apart, and the scene became more chaotic. Captain Li looked at the chaotic scene and sighed helplessly.
"Stop making a fuss! Lu Jianguo, this is your family matter, you guys deal with it yourselves! Now it's time to talk about the Yuexi Gate being smashed by you guys..."
When Lu Jianguo heard this, his expression froze and he turned to look at Lin Yuexi, his face full of anger and ugliness.
After a long while, he finally suppressed his anger, "Old Third Wife, this...this matter of the door, we were impulsive, we will compensate you."
Liu Cuihua muttered to herself, "What's the point of compensation? This house originally belonged to my son..."
Lin Yuexi was so angry that her eyes turned red. "Mother-in-law, it's true that this house belongs to your son, but I'm married to your son? We are husband and wife, so what's his is mine.
You brought people into my house tonight and rummaged around. I've already stopped pursuing the matter for your son's sake. You refused to pay me back for the broken door. Are you trying to bully me, your daughter-in-law, by relying on your status as an elder?"
"You have such a sharp tongue, you little whore! It seems I have underestimated you. When San'er comes back, I will make him divorce you..." Liu Cuihua said gritting her teeth.
"Captain Li, look at my mother-in-law. I didn't do anything wrong.
She just called me a little whore, but she didn’t even scold my sister-in-law when she was caught, which shows that she is really biased...” Lin Yuexi pretended to be aggrieved and said to Li Wenyan.
"Yes! Liu Cuihua is really biased!"
"Yes, tonight we were asked to catch the third daughter-in-law committing adultery, but we didn't expect to run into the scandal of her eldest daughter-in-law, and she even turned the tables and blamed the third daughter-in-law..."
“…”
"Hey! If she bullies the third brother's wife like this, will the third brother Lu recognize her as his mother when he comes back?"
“…”
After listening to these discussions, Captain Li said sternly, "Liu Cuihua, stop making trouble. You were the ones who were at fault today. It was wrong to smash your third brother's door. Now you want your eldest brother to pay for the door, and you still want to cheat?"
Liu Cuihua was scolded by the team leader and dared not say anything, but her face was still full of dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Lu Jianguo hurriedly said, "Captain, we know we were wrong. We will repair the door of the third sister's house as soon as possible and give her some compensation. Yuexi, do you think this is okay?"
Lin Yuexi sniffed, "Brother, I'm not trying to embarrass you on purpose. It's really you who went too far today. I've always been careful in the Lu family, but mother-in-law always treats me seriously. I just hope I can live a peaceful life in the future."
Captain Li nodded and said, "Lu Jianguo, go back and take good care of your wife and mother, and don't let them cause trouble again. And you must also properly handle the matter of Li Xiuying and the second-rate guy, and don't let this scandal spread throughout the village."
"Yes, Captain, I understand." Lu Jianguo responded.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, only Liu Cuihua, Lu Jianguo and the disheveled Li Xiuying were left at the scene.
Liu Cuihua's face turned red with anger. She had "lost both the wife and the army". Not only did she not get the house and the remittance slip back, but she also had to pay for several doors and her eldest son was cuckolded.
The mother and son had no place to vent their anger, so naturally all of it fell on this scoundrel.
Thinking of this, the mother and son quickly picked up the second-rate guy, who was still in a trance due to the effects of the drugs, like a chicken, and tied his hands and feet tightly with thick hemp ropes.
Lu Jianguo raised the wooden stick in his hand high, and each blow was filled with anger and humiliation, and it hit the second-rate guy hard, making a dull sound. The second-rate guy's wailing and begging for mercy echoed in the empty field.
Liu Cuihua was also unsatisfied and kept kicking and hitting, cursing at the same time with all kinds of unbearable words.
After venting their anger, they threw the scoundrel out of the Lu family yard like trash, not caring at all whether he would be bruised and battered.
Li Xiuying witnessed all this and cried until she was hoarse, with her hair scattered on her face. She tried to pull Lu Jianguo's clothes, but Lu Jianguo shook her away. The coldness in his eyes made Li Xiuying feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
Since this incident, Lu Jianguo seemed like a different person towards Li Xiuying.
Although he has not divorced for the sake of his son Lu Wei, Li Xiuying's importance in the hearts of both mother and son is becoming less and less.
Lu Jianguo would deliberately keep a distance from her in public, like a forgotten outsider.
When Old Man Lu, who had just returned from outside, stepped into the village, he heard the villagers talking in the streets and alleys.
The exaggerated description made Old Man Lu's face turn purple in an instant, and the anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt.
When he returned home and saw Liu Cuihua, he raised his calloused fist and hit Liu Cuihua without saying a word.
Liu Cuihua widened her eyes in horror. She had never thought that Old Man Lu would be so angry and even file for divorce.
Old Man Lu's roar echoed in the house: "You are such a disgrace, you have brought shame to the Lu family!"
Liu Cuihua cried and begged for mercy, but Old Man Lu remained unmoved.
The tables and chairs in the house were overturned, and porcelain was smashed to pieces. The Lu family's originally peaceful life was like a strong earthquake, and it fell into chaos again.
Lu Wei was so scared that he hid in the corner and trembled, while the neighbors were peeking out of the door. The farce of the Lu family became a new topic of conversation for the whole village after dinner, and it lasted for a long time.
On the other side, Lin Yuexi, after Lu Jianguo helped him repair the door, closed the door and lived his own life.
Every day she either went to the county to sell Gastrodia elata and other Chinese medicinal materials, or went to the black market to sell supplies. She had saved up nearly 6,000 yuan, so it was no problem for her to buy a house and settle down in the county.
Moreover, as the year was drawing to a close, she had a premonition that there would be news from Lu Cheng this year. Either he would come back to divorce her, or something else would happen. She was already prepared to divorce him.
