Chapter 175 Find a Scapegoat

When Shen Meng brought the man and the child back to the old house, there was already a big fight there. Several people from the Liu family had fought with Wu Xianglan, Zhou Jiaojiao, Lu Jiaxuan, Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua, and their faces were bruised and their hair were messy. Especially Lu Lanhua and Lu Miaomiao, their clothes were torn, which showed how fierce the fight was. The two of them fought to the death. She had spent so much money just for work, but now both the money and the job were gone. She had lost both her wife and her soldiers, and her family's assets were emptied. Now she has nothing left. How could she give up?

Zhou Jiaojiao was crying hard while holding onto the door frame. When she saw Shen Meng coming over, she immediately turned her head away. She felt that Shen Meng came here with her family just to make fun of her.

"Hand over what you have taken, and we will still be considered relatives. Whatever should and shouldn't be said, we will forget it after we leave this courtyard. We can still have contact in the future. If you insist on not doing it, don't blame me for being rude."

"We have never seen what you are talking about. We are poor, but we cannot accuse people like this. I am not saying you are being rude, but today I will see how you are going to be rude. You little bastard, if I hadn't brought your mother back from the ditch, you would still be here!"

Liu Sanjin's eyes were red with anger because her daughter-in-law's notice from the textile factory was lost. She also hated her own family for not living up to her expectations. No matter what, she had paid enough over the years. They came during the New Year, and she pretended not to know some things. It was okay to give them some money and tickets. They shouldn't have set their sights on her daughter-in-law's job. This was too much.

But she didn't remain tough for long. After hearing what her eldest brother said, her expression suddenly withered. Yes, because she was a girl, her family didn't want her at all. Her parents threw her into a ditch and told others that she was dead. It was her eldest brother who ran away for a long time, found her in the ditch, and brought her back.

No matter how many years have passed, I still owe him my life.

"Jiaxuan, let your uncle and his family go. What's the problem during the New Year? Jiaojiao is the lifesaver of the textile factory director's family. Just say that a thief broke into the house and stole the notice. Speak for mercy and beg for mercy. Maybe someone can arrange a job for you."

Lu Jiaxuan frowned tightly as he listened to what his mother said, and Zhou Jiaojiao cried even more miserably.

"Mother, mother, those are my things. Even if I am a benefactor, so what? They gave me so many things and a stable job. I have already repaid such a big favor. A stable job for a lifetime can be passed down to children. If such a valuable thing is lost, how can I ask them for another one? Wuwuwu mother, how can you say such cruel words!"

Seeing his daughter-in-law crying, Liu Sanjin shrank his neck and almost didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Lu Jiaxuan felt a dull pain in his heart as he looked at his wife crying. His eagle eyes swept around and his gaze paused for a while on Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua. Among these people, the most unlikely one was his second sister-in-law. She had always been on good terms with Jiaojiao, and usually when Jiaojiao had something good in her hands, she would think of giving it to her, Yongqiang and Yongli. Moreover, she was a cheapskate. Although there had been some friction between the two because of Liu Suqin's incident last time, he believed that his second sister-in-law would not do such a thing.

Miaomiao and Lanhua are different. They have been lazy and want to marry in the city. One would rather marry a woman with mobility problems, and the other married an older woman. As long as they can live in the city, they don't care how they marry. Such selfish people rarely go home. They can't work so hard for Jiaojiao's work. There must be something they don't know. Needless to say, the people in the Liu family are used to being dishonest. There is every reason to suspect that they must have something else besides the money and food given by their mother.

"Hey, what's going on? Why did they start a fight? I brought Zhenping here to see my uncle off, but why is the fight so fierce?"

Lu Changzhu, who had been invisible since the fight started, stood up, walked a few steps to the two people, and sighed, "Zhenping, look at what a mess our family has become since you came. The fourth brother and his wife said that the notice from the textile factory in the house was missing. Xianglan rushed over when she heard it, and Lanhua and Miaomiao also started quarreling. After a while, they all started fighting. It's a mess. What do you think we should do about this?"

Lu Zhenping glanced at him. He was asked to take charge of something, but he didn't want to do it, so as not to get himself into trouble.

"Xiao Meng and I are here to see my uncle off. As for whether the owners are Lao Si and his wife, it's up to them to decide. If they want to report to the police, they can do so. If they want to find the village cadres, they can do so. Lao Si works in the commune now and is considered a state cadre. This matter isn't a big deal, but it's not a small one either. Lao Si will make his own judgment."

Lu Jiaxuan was obviously stunned for a moment when listening to what his elder brother said. Ever since his elder brother came home, he had been taught a lesson many times. He felt unwilling, wronged, uncomfortable, humiliated, and a series of emotions in his heart. But he did not expect that his elder brother would say this to him now, saying that he would have his own judgment. Doesn't this also mean that his elder brother actually admits in his heart that he is a capable person?

Shen Meng looked at Lu Jiaxuan looking at Lu Zhenping with starry eyes and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Was it just a simple compliment that made the male protagonist so moved?
If he knew that when they came, I was the one who repeatedly told Lu Zhenping to say nice things when he arrived at the old house, I wonder if he would be broken.

Lu Changzhu felt much more relieved. Zhenping still cared about his family. This kid was straightforward and tongue-tied. He didn't like to say those sticky words. Forget it. As his father, how could he bother with him?

"Then call the police. Jiaojiao got this job with great difficulty. I saw her take it out and look at it this morning. It's impossible for it to be lost for no reason. Anyone who enters her room is a suspect. If you don't tell me, I will report it to the police."

No matter whether it was the people from the Liu family or Lu Miaomiao, Wu Xianglan was panicked for a moment. Only Lu Lanhua was frank. She looked calm on the surface, but she was crying in pain in her heart. She was thinking about whether she should tell them that she had just bought her eldest sister-in-law's job. Only the two of them knew about this. If she didn't admit it, would people suspect herself? But if she didn't say it, she would be taken to the police station. It would be a bad reputation if she went to the police station. Her man would probably beat her up.

Shen Meng looked at Liu Sanjin who was huddled aside, her eyes turned. She had originally intended to give the notice in her hand to Wu Xianglan alone, in order to completely win her over to her side, but at this moment she suddenly changed her mind and decided to let this old man be the shining scapegoat.
