Chapter 72

“Why didn’t you tell me you were getting married when you came into the room?” Lin Manyun asked with gritted teeth, feeling extremely angry.

This month, she had planned to make two new sets of clothes, buy a new pair of leather shoes, and send some nutritional supplements to her two sons. After completing these things, she would earn at least a hundred yuan, but now all of it has been taken away by these two bitches. This month, even buying groceries is difficult, and she has to use her private money.

Lin Manyun’s heart hurts more than a knife. Lu Desheng’s monthly salary is 450 yuan, and he gives her 250 yuan and keeps 200 yuan for himself to subsidize his subordinates with family difficulties. She can’t spend all the 250 yuan. She can save a hundred yuan every month, plus her own salary, she has saved a lot of money. She

was going to leave this money to her two sons, and she didn’t plan to spend it on household expenses at all, but when the crazy girl Ruan Qiqi came, she took a hundred yuan from her, and she had to give another red envelope tomorrow. With Lu Desheng’s generosity, it would definitely not be less than fifty.

Lin Manyun felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she was almost out of breath. She didn’t care about maintaining her gentle stepmother’s persona, and her face was very ugly.

Ruan Qiqi glanced at her and pretended not to understand and asked: “What’s the difference between saying it inside and now? Oh, Lu Ye, your stepmother is not sorry for the red envelope, right?”

“It’s normal. When I asked her for one dollar for the spring outing when I was a child, she was reluctant to give it to me. She even told my father that it was the teacher who thought I was too naughty and didn’t let me participate in the spring outing.”

Lu Ye sneered, and through this sarcasm, he talked about all the unfair treatment he received when he was a child.

After that, he glanced at Lu Desheng sarcastically.

Lu Desheng felt a prick in his heart and looked at Lin Manyun suspiciously. He didn’t remember the spring outing, but he remembered that Lin Manyun told him that Lu Ye was particularly naughty in school, his grades were terrible, and the teachers were particularly annoyed with him. Lu Ye was not allowed to participate in class activities.

Did Lin Manyun lie to him again?

“No, Xiao Ye must have remembered it wrongly. I never said such a thing.”

Lin Manyun didn’t care about the money anymore and hurried to explain.

She still had to rely on Lu Desheng to show off in the unit and couldn’t be separated from him.

“I remember you said that.”

Lu Desheng’s eyes became deeper. Seeing Lin Manyun’s pale face, he felt bad and looked at Lu Ye with more guilt.

Lu Ye avoided his eyes awkwardly and snorted, looking careless.

Lu Desheng smiled silently and felt very frustrated. Ruan Qiqi was right. He was a failure in the family.

“Did you really go to the house?”

Lu Desheng softened his tone, which was the gentleness that Lu Ye had never heard in the past 25 years. He frowned, suspecting that the old man was possessed by a ghost, and said: “Just talk, don’t be so cheesy, I have goose bumps.”

“I am your father, you are nothing in front of me!”

Lu Desheng’s guilt was instantly driven away, and he scolded with a fierce face.

“I want to say that I am here, tomorrow when you come to have a drink, don’t give too small a red envelope, don’t let outsiders say that my real father’s red envelope is not as big as my stepfather’s, that would be really embarrassing, even if others don’t say it, my mother will definitely spread it everywhere!”

Lu Ye snorted, he insisted on talking about me, and if he didn’t like it, he would poke his ears.

“Will I lose to Mo Qiufeng? I ask you, did you really come to the door?”

When it comes to Mo Qiufeng, Lu Desheng can’t stand any provocation and immediately fell into the trap. He also planned to make preparations for both situations. He would bring more money tomorrow and say that the red envelope would be thicker than Mo Qiufeng’s, so as not to give that bitch Yuan Huilan a chance to laugh at him.

“Is it fake to come to the door? Now I am the son-in-law of the Ruan family.”

Lu Ye was afraid that he would not be able to anger the old man to death, so he stiffened his neck and said some treasonous words. Seeing Lu Desheng’s face reddened and his neck thickened with anger, he felt very happy.

“Dad, your awareness is too low. You should take time to study the Quotations.”

Ruan Qiqi also added a knife, and took out a brand new Quotations and forced it into Lu Desheng’s hand.

“And my stepmother-in-law, the vegetables in the garden are too green. If someone sees this, they will think that my stepmother-in-law is dissatisfied with the land. Even the chairman grows his own vegetables. It has only been 20 years since the victory of the revolution, and my stepmother-in-law has become a delicate young lady. She

can’t even grow a little vegetable. No wonder she raised two mediocre sons. Dad, you are so majestic, and Lu Ye is better than the master. But my stepmother-in-law’s two sons are really a tiger father giving birth to two dog sons!” Ruan

Qiqi said a long paragraph, praising Lu Desheng and belittling Lin Manyun, and stepping on Lin Manyun’s two precious sons.

Her family’s Lu Ye has suffered so much, why can these two brothers still stay in Tanzhou City to enjoy the good life?

Snow Mountains, deserts, rain forests…are all good places to exercise people, let her suffer!

“I don’t have it, Lao Lu, I’m not feeling well recently.”

Lin Manyun was about to vomit to death, but facing Ruan Qiqi’s provocation, she couldn’t refute it at all.

Because she really didn’t grow vegetables carefully, and her two sons were indeed not as good as Lu Ye for the time being.

“Are you feeling unwell? Let me feel your pulse. Don’t worry, my father is a famous doctor. Anyone who can breathe in the surrounding area is taken care of by my father.”

Ruan Qiqi grabbed Lin Manyun’s hand and felt her pulse in a serious manner.

“The pulse is strong and powerful. Oh my god, it’s incredible. It’s like beating a drum. Lu Ye, your stepmother’s body is stronger than a sow. There will be no problem giving birth to five or six more babies.”

“My father can’t give birth anymore. My concubine has squeezed her dry. Otherwise, if there are five or six more babies, how lively the family will be!”

“Let me feel your father’s pulse again!”

Ruan Qiqi grabbed Lu Desheng’s hand and felt it in a serious manner.

“It’s incredible. Lu Ye, your father is not an empty gun. He is strong enough to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese devils. There will be no problem giving birth to babies!”

Lu Desheng’s face was a little ugly at first, but after hearing this, he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth proudly.

He is not bragging. Although he is over 60, those recruits in their 20s in the barracks cannot beat him. His health is his greatest asset.

Encouraged by Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye, Lu Desheng became more active. He really likes to have many children at home. He is in good health and Lin Manyun can also give birth. There is no problem in having a few more.

Ruan Qiqi can see his thoughts at a glance. As expected, even if a man is 80 years old, he still wants to prove that he can give birth.

“Dad, my stepmother-in-law is very strong. Don’t use poor health as an excuse in the future. The land must be cultivated well and the children must be well educated, especially the sons. Real men are men. Those who are squeamish are like women. It’s a shame for our Lu family!”

Ruan Qiqi said sincerely, and every word she said hit Lu Desheng’s heart.

He attached great importance to reputation. Lin Manyun’s two sons had no achievements in the army and were just messing around every day. He had long been dissatisfied.

Ruan Qiqi was right. He had to make a decision early and send these two bastards to the frontier to suffer.

Lin Manyun’s heart sank to the bottom, but she didn’t dare to persuade him now. She could only persuade Lu Desheng when he was in a good mood.

The frontier was not a place for people to stay. How could her son go there to suffer? If he stayed in Tanzhou City, with Lu Desheng’s care, he would be promoted after a few years.

Only rural soldiers with no background would go to the frontier to suffer in exchange for a career. Her son’s father was a commander, and his starting point was much higher than others. He didn’t need to suffer at all!

“Lu Ye is leaving, go to your stepfather’s house!”

Ruan Qiqi called Lu Ye to go to the Mo family.

When the two walked to the threshold, she turned back and said to Lu Desheng: “Dad, spoiling a child is like killing a child. Look at Lu Ye, and then look at Lu Yuanchao and Lu Jiefang. Tsk, tsk, tsk, there is a world of difference!”

After that, she and Lu Ye walked away proudly, leaving Lin Manyun with a dark face and Lu Desheng thoughtful.
