Chapter 58 Two cute kids seek justice for their mother

Liu Cuifang’s words made Lu Cheng unable to look directly at Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan. He couldn’t believe that this brother who had fought alongside him in life and death had suffered such humiliation during these few days of escorting him back. This was more embarrassing than fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield.

“Let’s go…” Lu Cheng said with a dark face. Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan pushed Lu Cheng away, and Lin Yuexi followed behind. The four of them returned to the big tiled house, and Lin Yuexi went to the kitchen to cook. They had already wasted too much time on Lu Jingyi’s matter. All four adults and two children were hungry.

Lin Yuexi couldn’t care less about whether they suspected anything, she just lit the stove and went directly to the kitchen in her space villa. Because one hour in the space was only about ten minutes in reality, Lin Yuexi had just finished cooking four dishes and a soup in an hour. When she brought a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, and kelp and pork soup to the table in the main room, everyone was shocked. Lin Yuexi had to explain that she had cooked them earlier and left them there, she had just reheated them.

Although everyone was a little suspicious, after a long journey, the aroma of the food quickly dispelled any doubts. Lu Cheng silently sat down, his eyes still a little dim. Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan exchanged glances and followed suit. The atmosphere was a little tense. It was the two little gluttons, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun, who, upon smelling the aroma of the food, suddenly appeared from somewhere! “Mom, you did magic again…” Lu Xiyun said excitedly. “Xiyun, what are you talking about?

Mom just made this…” Lu Ziyan quickly interjected, afraid that if Xiyun said that Mom did magic, it wouldn’t work anymore. Xiao Yichen, Gao Lechuan, and Lu Cheng didn’t think so much. They had been harassed by the people in the Lu family’s old house, and their stomachs were empty! Lu Cheng picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth. The familiar taste made him pause slightly, and his thoughts drifted back to the past. Back then, on the battlefield, conditions were harsh.

 Occasionally, everyone would talk about the food from their hometowns, their eyes filled with longing and yearning. But now, this bite of pork ribs brought him a sense of long-lost peace. Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan also began to eat, and for a while, the only sound on the table was the clinking of chopsticks. Lin Yuexi watched them, secretly relieved. She then served some soup for the two children. “Dad, why are Grandma and the others so bad?” Lu Xiyun suddenly looked up at Lu Cheng and asked.

The childish voice broke the brief silence. Lu Cheng’s hand paused, startled, and asked Xiyun, “Why are you saying Grandma is bad? Didn’t Grandma treat you well before?” “Dad, you don’t know. You weren’t here these past few years. Xiyun and I never had a full meal. We didn’t live in this house before, we lived in the old kitchen…

” Lu Ziyan said quickly. When Lin Yuexi heard this, she knew that these two little brats were speaking up for her! She thought to herself, this is good, it saves me from having to speak up myself, and even if I did, Lu Cheng wouldn’t necessarily believe me. Lu Cheng, Xiao Yichen, and Gao Lechuan were shocked. Lu Cheng’s face instantly turned terrifyingly gloomy, and he gripped his chopsticks tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. He asked in a low, trembling voice, filled with anger, “Ziyan, is what you said true?

 Why were you living in the old kitchen?” Lu Xiyun, as if a dam had broken, her eyes filled with tears of grievance, “Dad, Grandma said I was a burden, that Mom didn’t make you like her, and that she wouldn’t want Mom anyway, sooner or later. She also said we were illegitimate children, and she wouldn’t let us eat our fill. It was very cold in the old kitchen in winter, we only had one old ragged blanket, and we shivered all night when we slept.

” Lu Ziyan nodded in agreement, his little face covered in tears, “And then, Grandma would often scold Mom, and she would make Mom do so much work, Mom couldn’t even straighten her back from exhaustion. Once, I wanted to help Mom, and Grandma even hit me, saying I was a nobody’s child.” Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan listened to the children’s accounts, their fists clenched involuntarily.

Xiao Yichen was the first to lose his temper, and he slammed his fist on the table, “This is outrageous! Lu Cheng, how could you let your wife and children suffer like this!” Gao Lechuan also looked furious, “Camp Commander Lu, you’re risking your life on the battlefield, but your family is treating your wife and children like this, it’s simply unimaginable…” Lu Cheng’s eyes burned with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, “How could my mother and brother do this? All these years, I’ve been fighting bloody battles outside, all for the sake of my family having a good life.

 I never expected that they would be so cruel to Yuexi and my two children.” Lu Ziyan continued, “Dad, once, I got sick, and Mom wanted to ask Grandma for some money to see a doctor. Grandma not only refused, but she pushed Mom to the ground, saying we were a burden. Later, it was Captain Li who felt sorry for us and asked the doctor at the village clinic to give me two injections, and my illness slowly got better.”

 Lu Xiyun cried even harder, “Dad, Grandma wouldn’t make me new clothes, she said we didn’t deserve to wear new clothes. We could only wear old, ragged clothes, and it was freezing cold in winter.” Lu Cheng’s heart ached as if it had been pierced by thousands of needles. He gently hugged the two children in his arms, gently wiping the tears from their faces, “Children, it’s Dad who’s sorry for you. Dad didn’t know about your existence, so I didn’t come back. As long as Dad is alive, I won’t let you suffer anymore.” Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan also walked over, gently stroking the children’s heads, comforting them. Xiao Yichen said, “Ziyan, Xiyun, don’t be afraid, uncles will help you.

With us here, no one will dare bully you.” After comforting the two little brats, they all looked at Lin Yuexi, making her feel uneasy. She couldn’t tell them that the original owner had already been tortured to death by the Lu family, and that she was a time traveler, could she? Seeing them all looking at her, Lin Yuexi could only pretend to be pitiful and say, “Ziyan and Xiyun are telling the truth.

Later, I really couldn’t stand their bullying anymore, so I asked Captain Li to uphold justice for us, mother and son, and got these three big tiled houses. I also got your thirty yuan allowance back…” “Yuexi, are you saying that the thirty yuan I sent you every year for the past few years was taken by Mom and Brother?” Lu Cheng was so surprised that he almost jumped up, but because he couldn’t stand up, he could only shake his wheelchair a few times.

“Yes, I only got it back for four months, the rest of the years were taken by Mom and Big Brother. And the 200 yuan you sent before the New Year was also taken by them…” Lin Yuexi simply told the truth.
