Chapter 82: Who will be buried next?
Lu Zhenping's words were like pouring a cup of cold water into hot oil, instantly making people dizzy and dazed. But he still stood there calmly, as if he had no idea how damaging his words could be.

Lu Changzhu realized that he said these words at the gate of his house just to support Shen Meng. Otherwise, he could have closed the door and sat down with his family to talk, instead of saying in front of everyone that his younger brother had no ability at all and was only able to get a temporary job in the commune because of him, his elder brother.

He blamed himself for overreaching as a father, but this bastard didn't even know what was going on. If he knew, he would definitely side with the Lu family.

"Zhenping, you just came home and don't know what happened at home. You are on the side of your wife. Daddy doesn't blame you. Daddy has to talk to you. Your wife is really capable. She bought a bicycle without saying a word and got a note from the brick factory. The note was not even warm before she took it back to her parents' home. Tell me whether such a wife should be beaten. You are not at home, and your brothers cannot beat her, so naturally I, as your father, will beat her for you, otherwise she will have to poop and pee on your neck in the future."

Lu Zhenping didn't say anything. His father's words contained a lot of information. The people standing outside started talking after listening to what he said, but he looked Shen Meng up and down.

Shen Meng: “.”

What does that mean? Why does it feel like she is being discriminated against because of her height?
Zhou Jiaojiao's face was pale. Lu Zhenping had just belittled Lu Jiaxuan in front of so many people. She felt very upset. She had thought that Shen Meng would have a hard time waiting for her eldest brother to come back. After all, she had heard from Wu Xianglan that the relationship between her eldest brother and his wife was very cold, so she believed it.

But just now, her elder brother ignored everyone and went to check on Shen Meng's injuries first. This made her feel very uneasy. The last time she fought with Shen Meng for the bicycle, she was actually very sure that the bicycle must have been bought by her elder brother for Jiaxuan. Just as her father said, it must be such an honor and respect to be able to work in the commune, so he had to buy him a bicycle to show off.

She was looking forward to her elder brother's return and giving the bicycle to her son Jiaxuan. Then she could ride it whenever she wanted and go wherever she wanted.

Now it seems that it is not going to work. What is more frightening is that her Jiaxuan's temporary job is also in jeopardy. He hasn't even worked for a full month and doesn't know whether he will be paid.

After Lu Changzhu finished speaking, Liu Sanjin, Wu Xianglan and Lu Jiahe all stared at Lu Zhenping, wanting to see how he would deal with Shen Meng. After all, these were all Lu family's things, and it didn't make sense for him, the eldest son of the Lu family, to side with outsiders.

"Since we have separated, we should just live our own lives. The money is in her hands, so she has the final say on what she wants to buy. So, I send her an allowance, and she has to give me a bill every month based on how much she spends. Also, she has the note from the brick factory. Is she doing a favor from the Lu family or from me? It's her own thing, so she has the final say on who she wants to give it to. Mom and Dad, what do you think?"

"But, she is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. She must be buried in the Lu family's ancestral tomb after her death, so the things naturally belong to the Lu family."

Lu Zhenping finished the last puff of his cigarette and pressed the butt against the wall. What a pity, this was the last cigarette in a pack that Ma Xiang bought for him when he came back. He had wanted to smoke to his heart's content, but he didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing. No one would be at peace if he returned home and saw the whole family coming together to bully his wife and children.

"Shen Meng is so young, why are you talking about death? Besides, she and her child are living such a miserable life. Her parents-in-law can bring her brother-in-law and sister-in-law to beat her up at any time. Who can she blame in the future? So, Dad, don't say it so early." "You, what are you talking about? Can she leave you? You are..."

Lu Zhenping laughed and said, "Who am I? I'm just a poor soldier. I finally got married at an old age. She lives with me like a widow every day. You two should be thankful that she didn't scold you. What are you thinking? You even came to beat her up. What's wrong? Don't you think she's not pitiful enough?"

Lu Changzhu, Liu Sanjin and their group's faces turned pale and blue, but Lu Zhenping's mouth was still not quiet. He kept chattering, tearing off the Lu family's fig leaf in front of so many people. He was determined to help Shen Meng get back the face today.

"The army calls for taking care of military families, and the first priority among these military families is the wife of the military. I have been away for three years, and all the big and small things at home, such as feeding and clothing the children, taking care of major and minor illnesses, and social interactions, are all relying on her. When I retire from the army with a lot of illnesses, I don't know if my parents can take care of me, or my younger brothers and sisters can take care of me?"

There was another silence. His tongue was so eloquent and coupled with his aura, everyone in the Lu family, including those who had not left the door, stared at him in a daze.

When it comes to this topic, both Wu Xianglan and Zhou Jiaojiao lowered their heads. Even if they wanted to show off, they couldn't say that they would take care of their uncle. Wouldn't this be telling everyone that they came here to bully Shen Meng? Even if she ran away, they would take care of the child and Lu Zhenping!

This is too shameless!!!

Lu Jiasheng felt very sad. During the days he took care of Xie Jinghao in the hospital, he had gained special understanding that young couples are companions for old age. As long as the couple work together, their desire to separate is unshakable.

"Since you are silent, let me continue. Dad and Mom, since we have already separated and the bricks and tiles belong to Shen Meng, then why are you coming to our house to fight?"

Lu Changzhu was speechless, but he was the one who hit her. He stiffened his neck and said, "What? I hit your wife, and you can let her hit me back. I'm your father!"

"Big brother, what are you doing? Your parents are doing this for your own good. If we sell or give away the bricks and tiles, all the profits will go to Mingyang's children. Your parents don't want to take advantage of us. Your parents and I are old, and we live for you. Why can't you understand your parents' painstaking efforts?"

Lu Zhenping shook his head. It was obviously unrealistic to let Shen Meng fight back. If this were to get out, it would definitely break Shen Meng's spine. Shen Meng's heroic deeds would probably spread throughout the entire county.

He turned his head and looked at Shen Meng steadily, waiting for her to make a decision.
