Chapter 39: Liu Cuihua Lost Her Wife and Her Soldiers

Lu Jian Guo looked at Li Xiuyin, disappointed, “Li Xiuyin, I trusted you so much, and you actually secretly hooked up with this good-for-nothing! I think the third daughter-in-law is right, you did something disgraceful and want to use someone as a scapegoat!”

As soon as Lu Jian Guo spoke, Li Xiuyin burst into tears, “Jian Guo, how can you not believe me? I’ve been in the Lu family for so many years, I may not have any merit, but I’ve certainly worked hard, how can you side with an outsider?”

At this time, the good-for-nothing also regained some consciousness. He saw the crowd around him, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sly smile. “Lu Jian Guo, this isn’t my fault, your wife seduced me, I was just momentarily confused…”

Li Xiuyin heard this, and angrily lunged at the good-for-nothing, “You’re talking nonsense! You scoundrel!”

Everyone rushed forward to pull them apart, the scene became even more chaotic.

Li Da-captain looked at the scene that was in utter chaos, and sighed helplessly. “Stop making a fuss! Lu Jian Guo, this is your family matter, you deal with it yourselves! Now it’s time to talk about the matter of your smashing Yuexi’s door…”

Lu Jian Guo heard this, his expression turned stern, he turned to Lin Yuexi, his face full of anger and embarrassment. After a long while, he finally suppressed his anger, “Third daughter-in-law, this… this matter of the door, we were impulsive, we will compensate you.”

Liu Cuifang muttered on the side, “Compensate for what, this house is my son’s…”

Lin Yuexi’s eyes turned red with anger, “Mother-in-law, it’s true that this house is your son’s, but are we married? We are one, his is mine. You brought people to break into my house tonight, turned it upside down, I’ve already given you face and not pursued it, as long as you compensate me for the broken door, you’re not willing, you’re taking advantage of being an elder and bullying me, your daughter-in-law?”

“Such a sharp tongue, such a little prostitute, it seems I underestimated you, when the third son comes back, I must make him divorce you…” Liu Cuifang said through gritted teeth.

“Captain Li, look at my mother-in-law. I didn’t do anything wrong? She called me a little prostitute, and my sister-in-law was caught red-handed, she didn’t even scold her, it can be seen that her heart is biased beyond measure…” Lin Yuexi pretended to be wronged and said to Li Wenyan.

“Yes! This Liu Cuifang is really biased!”

“Yes, tonight we came to catch the third daughter-in-law’s adultery, but unexpectedly encountered the ugliness of her eldest daughter-in-law, and she still blamed the third daughter-in-law…”

“…”

“Hey! She bullies the third daughter-in-law like this, will the third son recognize her as his mother when he comes back?”

“…”

After listening to these discussions, Li Da-captain said sternly, “Liu Cuifang, don’t make a fuss anymore. This matter today, you were clearly in the wrong, smashing your third son’s door was wrong in the first place, now as long as your eldest son compensates for the door, you still want to play tricks?”

Liu Cuifang was reprimanded by the captain, she dared not speak anymore, but her face was still full of dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Lu Jian Guo hurriedly said, “Captain, we know we were wrong, we will repair the third son’s door as soon as possible, and give her some compensation. Yuexi, do you think this is okay?”

Lin Yuexi sniffed, “Big brother, it’s not that I’m deliberately making things difficult for you, it’s just that you, your actions today were too much. I’ve always been careful in the Lu family, but my mother-in-law always treats me unfairly, I just hope that I can live a peaceful life in the future.”

Li Da-captain nodded, “Lu Jian Guo, go back and discipline your wife and mother, don’t let them cause trouble again. Also, this matter of Li Xiuyin and the good-for-nothing, you also need to handle it properly, don’t let this kind of ugly thing spread throughout the village.”

“Yes, Captain, I understand.” Lu Jian Guo replied.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, only Liu Cuifang, Lu Jian Guo, and the disheveled Li Xiuyin remained.

Liu Cuifang’s face was flushed red with anger, she had “lost both the woman and the battle”, the house, the remittance slip was not recovered, it didn’t matter, but she had to pay for a few doors, and her eldest son was also cuckolded. The mother and son couldn’t vent their anger, so they naturally took it out on the good-for-nothing.

Thinking of this, the mother and son quickly grabbed the good-for-nothing, who was still in a daze after the effects of the medicine, like they were grabbing a chicken, and tightly bound his hands and feet with thick hemp rope. Lu Jian Guo raised the wooden stick in his hand high, each blow carried his full anger and humiliation, hitting the good-for-nothing hard, making a dull sound, the good-for-nothing’s cries for mercy echoed in the empty space. Liu Cuifang also kicked and beat him mercilessly, cursing all kinds of vulgar words as she beat him.

After venting, they threw the good-for-nothing out of the Lu family’s yard like they were throwing garbage, not caring at all if he would fall and be bruised all over.

Li Xiuyin witnessed all this, crying hysterically, her hair scattered messily over her face, she tried to grab Lu Jian Guo’s clothes, but he threw her away forcefully, the coldness in his eyes made Li Xiuyin feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

Since this incident happened, Lu Jian Guo seemed to have become a different person towards Li Xiuyin. Although he hadn’t divorced her yet for the sake of his son Lu Wei, Li Xiuyin’s status in their hearts had become increasingly low. Lu Jian Guo would deliberately keep his distance from her in public and private, like a forgotten stranger.

And Lu Lao-han, who had returned from outside, just stepped into the village, and heard the villagers talking about it in the streets and alleys. The exaggerated descriptions made Lu Lao-han’s face instantly turn purple, his anger was like a volcano about to erupt.

Back home, seeing Liu Cuifang, he didn’t say a word, and swung his fist, covered with calluses, towards Liu Cuifang.

Liu Cuifang widened her eyes in terror, she never thought that Lu Lao-han would be so angry, even to the point of asking for a divorce.

Lu Lao-han’s roar echoed in the house, “You disgraceful thing, you’ve lost face for the Lu family!”

Liu Cuifang cried and begged for mercy, but Lu Lao-han remained unmoved.

The tables and chairs in the house were overturned, porcelain was shattered all over the floor, the peaceful life of the Lu family was like a strong earthquake, once again falling into chaos.

Lu Wei was so scared that he hid in a corner, trembling, while the neighbors peeked in from outside the door, the Lu family’s farce became the new topic of conversation for the whole village, lingering for a long time.

On the other side, Lin Yuexi, after Lu Jian Guo helped her repair the door, closed the door and lived her own life. Every day she either went to the county to sell Tianma and other medicinal materials, or went to the black market to sell supplies, she had already accumulated almost six thousand yuan, buying a house and settling down in the county was no problem at all. Moreover, as the New Year was approaching, she had a feeling that Lu Cheng would definitely have news this year, either he would come back to divorce her, or something would happen, she was already prepared to divorce him.
