Chapter 105

They had dinner early that day. Lu Ye went to wash the dishes, and the two of them went home to watch the big show.

The atmosphere in the Lu family was frighteningly low at the moment. The meal was not yet cooked. Lin Manyun sat there wiping her tears, looking very aggrieved.

Lu Desheng also sat there, his face dark as if he was going to kill someone.

After finishing his work, he went home and asked Lin Manyun to take out the family savings to make up for the deficit for Lu Chuncao. Although more than 3,000 yuan was not a small amount, he paid Lin Manyun 250 yuan in salary every month. After paying for so many years, the savings must be more than 3,000 yuan.

Who knew that Lin Manyun actually said that there was only 300 yuan in savings at home, and even took out the passbook to show him that there was indeed only 300 yuan.

He was a commander of a military region, but he only had 300 yuan in savings. He was going to be laughed at to death!

He asked where the money went, and Lin Manyun said that he had eaten and drank, which made him even angrier.

The family didn’t have fish and meat every day, and the number of times he ate at home was limited. Lu Ye hadn’t eaten for a few years, and he was often hungry. How could he spend 250 yuan every month?

Lin Manyun didn’t tell the truth at all. Lu Desheng suspected that she spent the money on her parents’ home. “I have no objection to you spending money on your parents’ home, but you have to distinguish between the primary and the secondary. My son can’t eat enough with you, but you feed your parents’ home quite well. Lin Manyun, you really make me look at you in a new light!”

Lu Desheng was so angry that he learned to use idioms, and now he believed what Lu Ye said.

This kid had a quarrel with Lu Chuncao before because Lu Chuncao poisoned him.

This rebellious son still has a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment, and he won’t go crazy for no reason. Obviously, Lin Manyun really abused Xiaoye. Damn it, how dare this woman!

“Old Lu, have you listened to Lu Ye’s nonsense again? When did I starve him? There are so many people in the family who eat and drink, and there are also interpersonal relationships. The two hundred and fifty yuan you gave is not gold. How can it be so durable? My parents’ home didn’t spend my money. Sometimes I was short of money and asked my parents’ home for money!”

Lin Manyun cried with tears in her eyes, feeling very aggrieved.

This trick worked every time before, but today Lu Desheng felt a little disgusted. When he looked at Lin Manyun, he suddenly thought of the White Bone Demon. It was obviously a demon that sucked human blood, but it pretended to be innocent to deceive Tang Seng, and also caused Tang Seng and Sun Wukong to be alienated and drove him away.

In the end, Tang Seng was kidnapped by the White Bone Demon and almost lost his life. Fortunately, Sun Wukong came to save him regardless of the past, which led to the legend of the three fights with the White Bone Demon.

The more Lu Desheng thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Manyun was the White Bone Demon. She had sucked his blood for so many years, and all the money was gone.

“You know whether you have starved my son or not. Don’t shed your rat tears in front of me. Lin Manyun, you have to go to your mother’s house now. Whether you borrow or take it, you have to get me 3,700 yuan. I want it tonight!”

Lu Desheng looked disgusted and spoke very impolitely.

He was sure that the money was at Lin Manyun’s mother’s house. It was impossible to spend so much money. It must still be there.

“Old Lu, are you going to force me to death? The money is really gone. Where can I get so much money?”

Lin Manyun cried even more sadly, but she was panic-stricken.

Lu Desheng was very hard to coax today. Could it be that bitch Ruan Qiqi’s doing again?

Lin Manyun suppressed her inner panic and insisted that she had no money. She had saved 20,000 yuan of private money over the years. She had already regarded it as her own money. How could she take it out to make up for Lu Chuncao’s deficit?

Lu Desheng’s face became darker, and he suppressed his inner irritability. He would go to Jiangcheng for a meeting in a few days. He wanted to deal with Lu Chuncao’s family before the meeting, and then resign from the General Military Region.

Lu Chuncao’s family made such a big mistake, all because of his power. He had an unshirkable responsibility. He was too ashamed to be the commander again. After resigning, he would go to the cadre school for labor reform to improve his consciousness.

“We are back!”

Ruan Qiqi’s brisk voice rang out in the yard.

In the past, when Lin Manyun heard this voice, her heart would ache, but now she felt it was the sound of nature, and she wished that Ruan Qiqi would go crazy and divert Lu Desheng’s attention.

“Xiao Ye, Qiqi is back. Have you eaten? I’ll go cook!”

Lin Manyun was particularly enthusiastic.

“What a strange thing, the sun sets from the east?”

Lu Ye just walked to the door, ran out to watch the sunset in a fuss, and ran back again, saying sarcastically: “The sun still sets in the west, but our stepmother actually took the initiative to cook for me, tut tut tut… It’s really a strange thing!”

“Xiao Ye, what you said, I also cooked for you before, otherwise you would starve at home!”

Lin Manyun couldn’t laugh anymore, biting her back teeth, and said neither soft nor hard.

“I didn’t starve, I just ate grass because I was hungry. It’s still because my mother loves me and often invites me to eat at home, otherwise I would have starved to death!”

Lu Ye snorted coldly and told all the sufferings he had suffered in his childhood.

Because Qiqi told him that now the old man began to doubt Lin Manyun, it was a good time to complain.

Lu Desheng felt uncomfortable, and he understood one more thing. No wonder Xiaoye called Sister Guan “mother” and had a good relationship with Manzi. It turned out that there was such a reason.

He also remembered one thing. Sister Guan had said to him several times before, asking him to pay more attention to Xiaoye and not to leave it all to Lin Manyun.

At that time, he was so busy that his heels were smoking. He had no time to take care of the family and had no time to think about the implication of Sister Guan. Now that he thought about it, Sister Guan was pointing at him!

Lu Desheng’s eyes became guilty and looked at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye snorted again and turned his head away.

Qiqi was right, belated guilt was cheaper than grass!

He didn’t want it!

“Forget it, I won’t argue with you about this. Anyway, I’m a stepmother. No matter what I do, it’s wrong. Whatever you say, I’ll go cook!”

Lin Manyun smiled self-deprecatingly, tied an apron and went to the kitchen.

But after arriving in the kitchen, her expression immediately became sinister. When she was cutting vegetables, she wished that the vegetables in her hands were Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi, so that she could cut them into pieces!

“Dad, my eldest sister’s deficit is still quite large. Lu Ye and I don’t have much money. I don’t work, and Lu Ye’s previous salary has been spent. Fortunately, I received some red envelopes a few days ago. Unfortunately, I bought a bicycle and there are still 200 left. You can use it to make up for the deficit!”

Ruan Qiqi took out 20 big unity notes from her pocket and handed them to Lu Desheng with both hands.

“Two hundred yuan is enough for me to eat a lot of meat. I didn’t eat meat at Lu Chuncao’s house, and now I have to make up for her deficit. It’s really unlucky.”

Lu Ye said something sarcastic.

Lu Desheng didn’t take the money. The bastard was right. Lu Chuncao had poisoned it, and he really shouldn’t let his son pay for it.

“Dad, accept it. We are a family. We should stick together through thick and thin. Although two hundred yuan is not much, it is also a little thought from Lu Ye and me.”

Ruan Qiqi stuffed the money into Lu Desheng’s hand, and spoke with great sincerity, which would surely move the old man to death, and then she would get more money.

That’s right, the two hundred yuan was bait, and she wanted to catch a big fish!

Lu Desheng was really moved, and his throat was a little choked up. A person’s true heart is revealed in times of trouble. In comparison, Lin Manyun looked even more hateful!
