Chapter 83 Are You Standing Here as a Door God?
Shen Meng glanced at Lu Zhenping, turned her head away, and when she turned back, her eyes were filled with tears, and she no longer had the stubborn look she had just shown.
"What are mom and dad talking about? How could I possibly hit dad? I'm just a daughter-in-law who married into a foreign family. My husband is not at home all year round. I'm a woman with a child and have to make a living very carefully. Every time I send money, mom, Xianglan Jiaojiao and my two sisters-in-law say it's useful. They borrow a few dollars from time to time. There is very little left for me and the child in a month. Even the brick house we lived in when we got married, I gave it up as soon as mom asked. I live in a shabby house in the old courtyard with my child. Isn't it for the sake of family harmony that brings prosperity? Poor me, a daughter-in-law, who thinks that this is enough, but still thinks that I'm restless. Woo woo woo. I really don't want to live anymore~"
Most people in the village already knew about these things when they happened before, but Shen Meng felt that Lu Zhenping didn't know it. Women's tears are sometimes very useful. Shen Meng felt that her face, coupled with her sobbing, was very powerful. After resolving the problems here, she could still use the excuse of being angry to prevent Lu Zhenping from entering the room at night. She felt that this was very feasible.
Lu Zhenping: “.”
How did she transform from stubborn to delicate in an instant? And how could those tears fall just like that? ? ?
He observed carefully but still couldn't find the trick. He could only blame it on the fact that he had suffered too much injustice.
His wife showed weakness, and seeing Mingyang and the other children so distressed, he looked at Liu Sanjin and Lu Changzhu.
"Mom and Dad, stop saying you're doing this for my own good. Don't I know whose good you're doing this for? It's obviously inappropriate for Shen Meng to fight back. How could she fight with the old man?"
Lu Changzhu and Liu Sanjin were so worried when they heard him say that. Before they could speak, Lu Zhenping continued, "But it would be bad if my father-in-law finds out. If he takes action, I won't stop him. But since Shen Meng just said so, then mother and your two sisters-in-law should pay back the money you borrowed from Xiao Meng. Mother should also prepare to pay back the money borrowed from Miaomiao and Lanhua. With so many people watching, it's not easy to refuse to pay."
The two men's faces were livid. After making a fuss for a long time, he was not only thinking about Shen Meng's parents knowing what happened today and wanting Shen Fugui to beat him up, but he was also thinking about the family's money. This bastard was really born in vain. If he had known that he was so extroverted, he should have been strangled to death when he was born.
"You are really my good son! Humph!"
Lu Changzhu turned around and left. Seeing him leave, Liu Sanjin also wanted to follow him. Wu Xianglan and Zhou Jiaojiao shrank their necks. How could they return the money? They had already spent all the money they had taken before.
"Hey, don't leave. You have to give me an explanation."
"You, Lu Zhenping, do you still have any behavior as a child? Today you put your parents' faces on the ground and stepped on them. What are you trying to do? Son, are you crazy?"
People outside also started talking about it. In the past, when Lu Zhenping sent his allowance or letters home, everyone would come up to praise him. But why was he like this this time? He only thought about his wife when he came back and didn't remember his parents at all. If they had given birth to this thing, it would be better not to have it.
Zhou Jiaojiao, Wu Xianglan, and Lu Jiahe who wanted to take the opportunity to run away all felt that their eldest brother was like a madman. When he came home before, he was always friendly and harmonious. When had he ever been so extreme?
Lu Zhenping no longer had the leisure he had just had when he was talking. He straightened his face and stared at everyone with cold eyes. The changing expression made people slightly stunned.
"Mom, if there is something I don't want to explain so clearly, do you still remember the Dragon Boat Festival at home when you were five years old?"
Liu Sanjin's face froze. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Zhenping in disbelief. Then she retreated with trembling body, nervously grasping her sleeves, looking left and right again and again, finally calming down, and then looking at Lu Zhenping again. "You, you know...Okay, okay, Miaomiao and Lanhua borrowed Xiaomeng's money, I will give it to them first, I will go home to get it, Jiaojiao and Xianglan tell them to quickly return the money to your sister-in-law."
After she finished speaking, she ran away trembling. Lu Jiahe took the opportunity to run up to her and supported her, wiping the sweat from his forehead in fear.
Wu Xianglan had no money at all, and Shen Meng had never looked down on her and had never lent her much money. Now, in front of so many people, she could only shamelessly say, "Brother, look, I don't have any money. Can you write me an IOU? I'll pay you back, I will definitely pay you back in the future, haha, haha!"
"Mingyang, take out the paper in your schoolbag and ask your second aunt to write an IOU. Remember to ask her to put her fingerprints on it."
Lu Mingyang let out an "ah" and immediately took out a pen and paper from his schoolbag and handed them to Wu Xianglan. Seeing that Wu Xianglan couldn't write, he looked at his father who was giving orders.
Lu Zhenping made a "tsk" sound and reluctantly started to help write.
Wu Xianglan spoke too fast and Zhou Jiaojiao couldn't stop her. She did have a lot of money in her hands. In addition to the money brought by her parents, there was also the betrothal gift given by Lu Jiaxuan when they got married, and the money deducted from the old lady. Almost all the money she spent was the money she had cheated from Shen Meng.
She pursed her lips. Writing an IOU was too embarrassing. Repaying the debt was the bottom line. Only if she appeased her elder brother and sister-in-law and made them calm down could her son Jiaxuan keep his job.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'll go home and get it now. Life was hard at home before, and I only dared to ask you for money when I was desperate. Now Jiaxuan can go to work, and I don't care about anything else. As long as he is well in the future, I can have a good life. Sister-in-law has been wronged today. I will ask Jiaxuan to buy some meat for you at the supply and marketing cooperative to replenish your body. I'll go home and get the money now. Brother and sister-in-law, wait a moment!"
She turned and ran away, and no matter how Wu Xianglan called her, she did not look back. The money in her hand was useful, and it was impossible for her to pay back the money for Wu Xianglan. Their family was a bottomless pit. Even if she helped to pay it back, she would never be able to get it back in the future.
After collecting the IOU, Lu Zhenping smiled and said to the people who had not yet left, "I have things to do at home, so I won't keep you all here. We can talk later when we have time."
After he finished speaking, he closed the door, including Lu Jiasheng who had been standing nearby. He picked up the bag on the ground and looked at the four mothers who stood up together.
"Go back to your room. Are you still standing here acting as a door god?"
Shen Meng looked down at the little ones. It was already this late, they would definitely be late for school. Moreover, they had been making noise for so long, which would definitely affect the children's studies.
"You won't be going to school this afternoon. Tomorrow, I'll take you to school to explain the situation. I won't let you stand in the corner as punishment."
Mingyang and the others obviously didn't want to go either. They stared at Lu Zhenping's back with an inexplicable sense of wariness in their eyes. Shen Meng almost laughed out loud. Good boy, he was on the same side with her now.
