Chapter 11

Noticing her tone was off, Lu Zhengguo frowned slightly, “It’s true that other people told me this, I came to ask you to make sure it’s true.”

“But if this is false, I will apologize to you.”

Shen Man looked at him, “Okay, but I don’t accept just a verbal apology.”

“I’ve never been wronged since I was a child.”

He came to question her without getting the facts straight, although their marriage was a mistake from the start.

But now that things had happened, he didn’t even give her, his wife, the basic courtesy.

Lu Zhengguo was stunned, he quickly came to his senses.

Whether this was true or not, he should have gotten the facts straight before asking her.

“I’ll pick you up from work tomorrow, and I’ll take you to buy some clothes as an apology.”

Shen Man spoke calmly, “Forget it, I don’t need any clothes.”

“If you want to know the truth, please ask your sister first, ask your parents, see what they say.”

“After you ask them, go to our factory and ask the personnel department, see what they say.”

She left these words behind and turned to leave.

Lu Zhengguo watched her leave in silence.

Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed in the wrong.

The two of them went back to the Lu family one after the other.

Shen Man pushed the door open first, and at this time, the Lu family was having dinner.

She was about to go back to her room.

Lu Hongmei, eating her food, glanced at Shen Man’s figure and said sarcastically.

“Mom, look at you, you’re still thinking about saving her a meal, look at her, she’s probably already eaten out and come back.”

“You’re thinking about her, but she doesn’t even look at you.”

Lu Mu put her chopsticks down on the table, her tone turned cold, “Hongmei, can’t you shut your mouth while eating?”

Zhang Fengxia used her chopsticks to stir the food in her bowl, “Mom, Hongmei is telling the truth.”

“We’re both daughters-in-law, I work during the day and come back to cook at night, she’s better off, she lives a better life than me.”

“Just eat, don’t say anything.” Lu Zhengbing pulled his wife’s sleeve and advised her in a low voice.

Zhang Fengxia rolled her eyes at him, she turned to look at Shen Man, “Sister-in-law, do you think what I said just now makes sense?”

She heard that her sister-in-law didn’t even go to work today.

She thought that at least the food would be hot when she got home, she even went out for a walk before coming back.

Unexpectedly, when she came back, not only was there no hot food, but she couldn’t even find anyone.

Shen Man stopped in her tracks, she was about to go back to her room to rest, her tone turned cold.

“Sister-in-law, let me remind you, it’s your turn to cook today, not mine.”

Since she married into the Lu family, this kind of sarcastic remark was commonplace for the original owner.

The original owner couldn’t stand it, and she couldn’t stand it either.

After she said this, she ignored Zhang Fengxia’s black face and turned to go directly back to her room.

She was about to close the door when Lu Zhengguo came in from outside, he glanced at her.

What happened again?

“Second brother, you’re finally back, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, why did you come back now?”

Lu Hongmei immediately put down her bowl and ran to Lu Zhengguo.

Lu Zhengguo looked at his sister, whom he hadn’t seen for many years, she had grown into a graceful young lady.

His expression softened, “I went to see a comrade on the way, it took a few days.”

He had written back before he returned.

The family had known he was alive for half a month.

But Shen Man seemed to not know, could it be that his parents didn’t tell her?

Lu Fu and Lu Mu also walked over, their eyes red as they looked Shen Man up and down, “It’s good you’re back alive, it’s good you’re back alive.”

They thought their son had died on the battlefield, they never expected that one day, their son would be able to see them alive.

Lu Zhengbing patted Lu Zhengguo on the shoulder, “Zhengguo, we’ve been waiting for you to come back.”

“You don’t know, when the news of your death came, Dad and Mom passed out and went to the hospital. Everyone couldn’t believe you were gone, they were always hoping for you to come back.”

“Now you’re finally back.”

Lu Zhengguo looked at his long-lost family, his heart was also a little complicated.

“These years I’ve been gone, thank you, Brother and Sister-in-law, for taking care of Dad and Mom.”

Zhang Fengxia waved her hand, “We’re all family, what’s the point of thanking each other.”

She changed the subject, looking at the closed door, “But, Zhengguo, don’t blame Sister-in-law for talking rudely, now that you’re back, you should take care of your wife.”

“Look at her, all day long…”

Lu Mu’s face changed slightly, she quickly interrupted her, “Fengxia, what are you doing, your second brother has finally come back, what’s the point of saying this now?”

Lu Hongmei walked to Zhang Fengxia’s side and put her arm around her, “Mom, Sister-in-law is telling the truth, now that second brother is back, how can we let that woman ride on your heads?”

“Second brother, don’t you think so?” She raised her chin and looked at Lu Zhengguo.

Lu Zhengguo looked at the closed door of Shen Man’s room, and then he thought about what she said outside just now.

He was silent for a moment, “Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, Hongmei, if you have anything to say, tell me first.”

“If it’s really her fault, I’ll make her apologize to you and correct it.”

Lu Fu and Lu Mu exchanged glances, they didn’t want to talk about unhappy things on the first night of their son’s return.

They were about to change the subject, but Zhang Fengxia spoke first.

“Zhengguo, these years you’ve been gone, your wife has done a lot of things, she almost broke up our family.”

“Not to mention the past, just recently, your wife even took Hongmei’s job.”

“Tell me, is that something a sister-in-law should do? It’s not a big deal if she doesn’t have a job, but if Hongmei loses her job, it’s serious.”

“A young girl, going to those remote rural areas, who knows what she’ll encounter, tell me, isn’t that forcing Hongmei to die?”

As soon as these words came out.

Lu Hongmei’s eyes instantly turned red, she couldn’t help but throw herself into Zhang Hongxia’s arms and cry.

“Wuwuwu, Sister-in-law is still good to me, unlike that woman, she’s vicious and selfish.”

“I don’t want to go to the countryside at all, but what can I do, I’ve lost my job, my boyfriend broke up with me, what am I going to do in the future?”

Lu Mu sighed, she quickly stepped forward and gently patted Lu Hongmei’s back, “Don’t cry, there are still a few days left, your Dad and I will definitely not let you go to the countryside.”

Lu Fu’s brows couldn’t help but frown, he directly sat down and covered his head.

Now there’s one job for one person, jobs aren’t so easy to find, they finally found a position at the textile factory, but unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law interfered.

What’s going on?

Lu Zhengguo’s eyes darkened, “Sister-in-law, tell me carefully, what’s going on with this job?”

When he was outside just now, listening to Shen Man’s tone, it seemed like the job was hers.

But why did his family, and the people outside, say that Shen Man took Hongmei’s job?

Zhang Fengxia sneered, “Zhengguo, what do you mean, do you think I’m lying to you?”

She pointed at everyone in the Lu family, “If you don’t believe me, just ask, ask Dad, ask Mom, or ask your brother.”

“Anyway, you can ask anyone, see if it’s your wife who is shameless, she took Hongmei’s job and now she’s forcing her to go to the countryside.”
