Liu Cuihua's words made Lu Cheng dare not look directly at Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan. He could not imagine that this brother who had been through life and death with him had suffered such humiliation in the few days when he was sending him back. This was even more embarrassing than fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield.
"Let's go..." Lu Cheng shouted with a dark face.
Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan pushed Lu Cheng away, and Lin Yuexi followed behind.
The four of them returned to the big tiled house, and Lin Yuexi went to the kitchen to cook.
This matter because of Lu Jingyi has been delayed for too long, and the four adults and two children are all hungry.
Lin Yuexi no longer cared about whether they were suspicious or not. She just pointed into the stove and went straight to the kitchen of the space villa.
Since one hour in the space was only more than ten minutes in reality, Lin Yuexi prepared four dishes and one soup in just over an hour in the space. When sweet and sour pork ribs, mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored pork shreds, and kelp and pork soup were served on the table in the main hall, everyone was surprised.
Lin Yuexi had to explain that she had cooked it earlier and left it there, and just heated it up just now.
Although everyone was a little confused, the aroma of the food quickly dispelled those doubts after the long journey.
Lu Cheng sat down silently, his eyes still a little gloomy. Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan looked at each other and followed suit. The atmosphere became a little solemn for a moment.
However, the two greedy cats, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun, jumped out from nowhere as soon as they smelled the fragrance of the food!
"Mom, you performed magic again..." Lu Xiyun said happily.
"Xiyun, what are you talking about? This is what mom just made..." Lu Ziyan quickly interrupted. He was afraid that if Xiyun told her about her mom's magic tricks, they would no longer work.
Xiao Yichen, Gao Lechuan and Lu Cheng didn't think too much about it. They were all so hungry after being disturbed by the people in the old house of the Lu family!
Lu Cheng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into his mouth. The familiar taste made him slightly stunned, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.
At that time, the conditions on the battlefield were difficult. Everyone occasionally talked about the delicacies of their hometown, their eyes full of longing and yearning. At this moment, this bite of spare ribs actually made him feel a long-lost sense of security.
Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan also started to eat. For a while, the only sound on the table was the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding. Lin Yuexi looked at them, secretly relieved, and served the two children some more soup.
"Dad, why are grandma and the others so mean?" Lu Xiyun suddenly raised her head and asked Lu Cheng.
The childish voice broke the brief calm. Lu Cheng paused, startled, and asked Xiyun: "Why do you say grandma is bad? Was grandma not good to you before?"
"Dad, you don't know, in these years when you were away, Xiyun and I never had a full meal. We didn't originally live in this house, we lived in the old kitchen..." Lu Ziyan rushed to say.
When Lin Yuexi heard this, she knew that these two brats were seeking justice for her!
I thought to myself, this is good, so I don’t have to say it myself, and Lu Cheng will definitely believe it if I tell him.
Lu Cheng, Xiao Yichen, and Gao Lechuan were horrified when they heard this.
Lu Cheng's face suddenly became terribly gloomy, and he clenched the chopsticks in his hand tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. He asked in a low voice trembling with anger, "Zi Yan, is what you said true? How come you live in the old kitchen?"
Lu Xiyun seemed to have opened up her mouth, tears of grievance flashing in her eyes, "Dad, grandma said I was a money-loser, and that you didn't like mom, and you wouldn't want mom sooner or later anyway. She also said we were bastards and didn't let us have enough food. In the winter, it was very cold in the old kitchen, and we only had a tattered quilt, so we shivered when we slept at night."
Lu Ziyan also nodded in agreement, his little face full of tears, "And more, grandma often scolds mom and makes mom do so much work, mom is so tired that she can't even straighten her back. One time I wanted to help mom, grandma beat me and said I was a wild child that no one wanted."
Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan clenched their fists unconsciously as they listened to the children's stories.
Xiao Yichen was the first to lose control and slammed the table, "This is simply too much! Lu Cheng, how can you let your sister-in-law and children suffer like this!"
Gao Lechuan was also furious. "Captain Lu, you fought so hard on the battlefield, but I didn't expect your family to treat your sister-in-law and children like this. It's unimaginable..."
Lu Cheng's eyes were burning with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "How could my mother and elder brother do this? All these years, I fought hard outside just to give my family a good life. I didn't expect them to treat Yuexi and my two children so cruelly."
Lu Ziyan continued, "Dad, I was sick once, and Mom wanted to ask Grandma for some money for medical treatment. Grandma not only refused to give it, but also pushed Mom to the ground, saying that we were a burden. Later, the team leader took pity on us and asked the doctor at the village clinic to give me two injections, and my illness gradually got better."
Lu Xiyun cried even harder, "Dad, grandma won't make new clothes for me. She said we don't deserve new clothes. We can only wear tattered clothes, and it's freezing cold in winter."
Lu Cheng felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of needles. He gently held the two children in his arms and wiped the tears from their faces tenderly. "Children, Dad is sorry for you. Dad didn't know you existed, so he didn't come back. As long as Dad is still alive, he will never let you suffer any grievances again."
Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan also came over, gently stroked the children's heads and comforted them.
Xiao Yichen said: "Zi Yan, Xi Yun, don't be afraid, the uncles will help you. With us here, no one will dare to bully you."
After they comforted the two kids, they all turned their eyes to Lin Yuexi, which made Lin Yuexi feel uneasy. She couldn't tell them that the original owner had been tortured to death by the Lu family, and that she was a traveler through time!
Seeing that they were all looking at her, Lin Yuexi had to pretend to be pitiful and said, "What Zi Yan and Xi Yun said was true. I couldn't stand their bullying anymore, so I asked Captain Li to seek justice for the three of us. I got back the three tiled houses and your thirty yuan allowance..."
"Yuexi, are you saying that the thirty yuan allowance I sent you a few years ago was taken away by mom and brother?" Lu Cheng was so surprised that he almost jumped up, but because his legs could not stand, he could only shake the wheelchair a few times.
"Yes, I was only back for four months. The money from the other years was taken away by my mother and uncle. The 200 yuan you sent me before the New Year was also taken away by them..." Lin Yuexi simply told the truth.
