Chapter 139 How can a human give birth to a monkey?

…

Meanwhile.

 Lu Shi Shen hadn’t reached his uncle’s house when he encountered Lu Qingyuan on the road, looking disheveled.

 His clothes were almost torn to shreds, hanging loosely on his body. There were scratches on his face and neck, bleeding.

Lu Qingyuan was walking along the path, sobbing as he walked. When he looked up and saw his brother coming to pick him up, he awkwardly wiped away his tears and forced a smile. “Shi Shen, it’s so hot. Why did you come out? Look, I’m sweating all over.”

 To prove that his eyes were red from the heat, he pretended to wipe away sweat. He was already an adult, yet he was crying in front of his brother. It was too embarrassing. Lu Shi Shen didn’t expose him. He nodded and said, “I was going to pick you up since you hadn’t come back yet. Let’s go home.” “Okay.” Seeing his brother, Lu Qingyuan felt much better.

To ease the awkwardness, he kept finding topics to chat with his brother. Although his brother didn’t talk much, he responded to every word. When they got home, Guan Ailian saw her husband’s appearance and felt heartbroken.

“What happened to you? How did you go to your uncle’s house and come back looking like you’ve been skinned?” Lu Guozhi was also heartbroken. He asked with a red face, “Did your mother beat you?” He had raised his eldest son since he was a child.

They were especially close when he was young. Although he always said that his eldest son was incompetent, he loved him in his heart!

 His youngest son, although capable, was not close to anyone since he was a child.

He felt apprehensive being alone with his youngest son. He always felt that his youngest son’s eyes didn’t look like a baby, like a grown-up soul was living in a small body.

That’s why he took his youngest son to pray to Guanyin and so on. Although his youngest son was strange since he was young, he couldn’t love him. In short, he had fatherly love for his youngest son, but not much.

Yang Niannian looked at Lu Qingyuan in astonishment. She really didn’t expect that Ma Xiuzhu would be so ruthless to her own son. Lu Qingyuan was really wronged. He was an adult, yet he was beaten by his own mother.

The injuries were on his body, he couldn’t deny it. Lu Qingyuan nodded and said in a muffled voice, “My uncle said I was unfilial, he kicked me twice.

 My mother scratched my face and clothes.

My uncle said that if our whole family doesn’t go to pick up my mother tomorrow, he and my mother won’t recognize my sister-in-law.”

Lu Qingyuan had two uncles and an aunt. This time he went, his eldest uncle didn’t say anything, but his younger uncle had a bad temper. He even threatened to settle scores with his brother and sister-in-law. “Why did he beat you?” Lu Guozhi was furious.

“Our family was poor back then, they didn’t help my sister. Now they’re so capable.” He was angry not only because his eldest son was beaten, but also because he remembered the time when he was beaten by his brother-in-law. Back then, his brother-in-law looked down on him and beat him. Now he was beating his son.

Did he think the Lu family had no one?

Yang Niannian blinked.

Judging from her father-in-law’s words, he was not only angry that his eldest son was beaten, but there seemed to be some old grievances mixed in.

The conflict between her uncle and her father-in-law must have something to do with her mother-in-law. With her mother-in-law’s temper, she must have often asked her brother for help when she argued with her father-in-law when she was young. She had a flash of inspiration and said, “Uncle must have beaten your brother to vent his anger for your mother.”

Hearing this, Lu Guozhi’s anger reached its peak. “Okay, since he wants to vent his anger for his sister, let him keep his sister at home. No one should go to pick them up. Without them, tomorrow’s events will go on as planned.” Hearing this, Lu Qingyuan instantly felt relieved. He didn’t want to go back to his uncle’s house and get beaten again.

Yang Niannian was secretly happy. It seemed like she wasn’t wrong. Her father-in-law had indeed suffered from her mother-in-law’s family. She looked at Lu Shi Shen, “Why don’t you accompany your brother to buy some medicine and band-aids?

” Before Lu Shi Shen could speak, Lu Qingyuan waved his hands in refusal, “No need, no need.” Although Guan Ailian felt sorry for her husband, she didn’t take the injury seriously. “It’s just a little scratch, it’s nothing. Your brother has tough skin.

It’ll be fine tomorrow.” Seeing that they were insistent on not going, Yang Niannian didn’t persuade them anymore. Lu Qingyuan’s injury wasn’t really that serious…well, it was a bit humiliating. His eyelids were a little swollen, he must have cried on the way.

Without Ma Xiuzhu at home, the afternoon was peaceful. No one was making a fuss. After dinner, Lu Shi Shen found some mugwort and smoked the west room with thick smoke. The whole room was filled with the scent of mugwort. Yang Niannian suddenly remembered the smell she had smelled last night. No wonder there were no mosquitoes biting her later. Lu Shi Shen closed the windows and doors, and explained in a low voice, “Smoke it for a while longer, so the mosquitoes will be completely eliminated.” Yang Niannian nodded, “Anyway, we can’t sleep now.

Why don’t we go for a walk?” She couldn’t hold it in anymore. She wanted to ask something, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable. In her previous life, she saw novels where the male and female leads were like they didn’t have mouths.

They wouldn’t explain misunderstandings. She wouldn’t be like that. They were already husband and wife, they weren’t mute. What couldn’t be asked? Lu Shi Shen nodded, “Okay.” Lu Xingxing wanted to follow, but Guan Ailian called him back, “Uncle and Aunt are going for a walk, what are you following them for? Quickly go help your aunt boil bath water.”

 It was already dark outside.

 The moonlight was like a girl’s white dress, scattered on the ground, with a pale white glow. The breeze blowing was much cooler than in the yard.

 There were still people sitting and chatting under the big trees in the village. The two of them simply went out of the village. When they reached a deserted place, Yang Niannian asked directly, “Lu Shi Shen, you adopted An An, so you can’t have any more children.

Do you know about this?

” Lu Shi Shen pursed his lips, his eyes complex. He nodded and replied, “I know.” Hearing this, Yang Niannian felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She didn’t think about abandoning An An, but thinking about Lu Shi Shen not wanting to have children with her made her feel a little sad.
