Chapter 65: He Looks Like He’s Asking for a Beating

Did they dig up his ancestral grave, or unearth his family treasure?

They hadn’t had any conflicts during their previous encounters. He just wanted to marry a wife, but they made a fuss about it endlessly.

Lu Jianshen wished he could break through this barrier, just turn around and leave.

Jiang Xiangxiang walked to his side, gently tugging at his clothes: “Okay, don’t be angry. It’s not worth getting angry with that kind of person. She seems to not know…”

It was more likely a prank, wanting to watch the show, to cause them some trouble.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used Lu Hemei as a pawn. That doesn’t quite make sense.

Lu Heping sighed and said, “Okay, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. Lu Hemei knows you’re not my biological son, and she thought you were the son of some big shot. I deliberately lied to her, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to pester you.”

Tian Xiu’e was stunned: “When did this happen!”

Lu Heping looked guilty: “I just didn’t want her to bother you all the time, so I just made up a few sentences. Who knew she actually believed it, and even wanted Tingting to marry you?”

His initial idea was to make Lu Hemei apprehensive, to prevent her from making a fuss. If she knew Lu Jianshen’s background wasn’t simple, wouldn’t she calm down?

He had forgotten what he had said at the time.

Tian Xiu’e took a deep breath. The anger she had barely suppressed surged up again. She knew it! How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Why would Lu Hemei willingly let her precious daughter marry an orphan?

Tian Xiu’e felt something was wrong, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was. Now she finally found the reason.

She looked around, grabbed the feather duster from the kang, and started hitting him.

Lu Heping knew he was wrong and didn’t dare to dodge. If he didn’t let her vent her anger, she might pack her bags and go back to her parents’ house soon.

Lu Jianshen didn’t expect this, he was speechless. But no matter what, he was his father. He couldn’t just watch his father get beaten without reacting.

Lu Jianshen quickly stepped forward and pulled his mother away: “Mom, calm down. Now is not the time to do this.”

Tian Xiu’e said fiercely: “That’s right, now is not the time. Lu Heping, you wait for me! After the in-laws leave, I’ll deal with you!”

Lu Heping looked wronged but didn’t dare to say a word. He looked pitiful.

Tian Xiu’e glared at him again. Her mood was not good, and his pitiful act was useless; he was likely to get beaten.

After watching enough, Jiang Chengshan pretended to cough lightly: “Oh, in-laws, what are you doing? Even if you’re putting on a play, you need to choose your time. Right now, it’s just us here. If other relatives come later, it’ll be a real laughingstock.”

Lu Heping was annoyed by his tone. He was afraid of his wife, which wasn’t shameful, but Jiang Chengshan had even been cuckolded.

How dare he laugh at him? Wasn’t that a bit much?

“Jiang Chengshan!”

“Yes, yes!”

Jiang Chengshan wasn’t afraid at all, responding with glee. His eyes were teasing, saying everything without saying a word.

“Alright, go and cook quickly.” Tian Xiu’e didn’t give Lu Heping a chance to speak. She couldn’t go there; otherwise, she’d fight with Lin Shufen in a few words.

If she didn’t tear her apart, she wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Lu Heping obviously understood Tian Xiu’e’s temper. He didn’t say a word and quickly went to cook, looking very cooperative.

Today’s engagement banquet was important. It was the first time both families met to discuss their children’s marriage.

He didn’t dare to imagine that he had already made a laughingstock of himself in front of his in-laws. If anything else went wrong, the marriage would likely be off.

If Lu Jianshen hadn’t had any thoughts, that would have been fine.

But looking at Lu Jianshen’s appearance, his heart was clearly on Jiang Xiangxiang. From the moment he entered the house, Lu Jianshen’s eyes hadn’t left the girl’s face.

To be honest, Lu Heping didn’t dare to think about how sad Lu Jianshen would be if they broke up.

Seeing Lu Heping being obedient and going out, Tian Xiu’e’s mood improved slightly. After calming down, she spoke.

“In-laws, please sit. I’ll go make some brown sugar water.”

“Mom, you sit. We’ll go!”

Lu Jiannan was quick-witted and seized the opportunity to speak. With his mother’s temper, if she went out, she might really fight.

It was better if they went, it was safer.

Lu Jianbei had the same attitude. Nothing was more important than his older brother’s affairs. Everyone else had to stand back.

As they spoke, they had already gone out.

Shen Qiuyue hadn’t spoken much. Her mood was also a bit complicated. If this happened in her family, she wasn’t sure if Jiang Chengzhong could handle it.

But in the Lu family, they didn’t seem to take it to heart.

Whether it was Lu Jianshen himself or the other Lu family members, everyone acted normally, not caring at all.

Jiang Chengzhong was the same. Although he had a loud voice, he had a clear mind. Seeing Jiang Chengshan’s unhappy face, he persuaded him:

“Okay, don’t make a face. I think the Lu family is pretty good. Before, we just lived in the same village and didn’t interact much. You can’t tell anything. Look at today, isn’t it good? They’re reliable.”

Jiang Chengshan said sourly: “I know, I know! But knowing makes me even more bitter. It has nothing to do with getting married.”

Even if they said it nicely, what if they didn’t treat Jiang Xiangxiang as their own family?

Their family was united and loving, but his daughter would suffer.

Seeing his brother’s behavior, Jiang Chengzhong wanted to slap him. His younger brother was becoming more and more unruly, his brain must have been kicked by a donkey.

He was always thinking nonsense, looking like he was asking for a beating.

Just as he was about to do something…

Shen Qiuyue coughed: “Alright, what’s the point of saying all this? I think Jianshen is a good child. He’s calm and composed in the face of adversity. He’ll be a responsible person in the future. He and Xiangxiang are quite suitable. You should rest assured.”
