Chapter 28 Bear Meat Causes Trouble [I]

Liu Cuifang glared at him fiercely and cursed, “You old fool, you’re siding with an outsider. How could Lin Yuexi have that ability? If she had that ability, would we have been able to drive her to the old kitchen for more than three years? I think she’s just up to no good. She’s probably messing around with some wild man.

 This bear meat is probably a gift from him…” Li Xiuyin also fanned the flames, “That’s right. With her small frame, she could even kill a bear. She’s lucky she wasn’t eaten by the bear.” Lu Wei also started crying, “Grandma, I want to eat bear meat too. Why is the third aunt eating it all by herself with the dog and the cat? She didn’t even send us some.” Lu Wei’s words made Liu Cuifang even more furious. She gritted her teeth and said, “She won’t be happy for long. When we find out that the bear meat came from an illegal source, she’ll have a taste of her own medicine…” Lu Zhendong frowned.

 Although he was suspicious about Lin Yuexi getting the bear meat, he had seen her martial arts skills recently. It was not impossible for her to hunt a bear with her skills. “Old woman, don’t jump to conclusions. Let’s go investigate first. What if she really hunted it on the mountain? Wouldn’t it be a joke if we went to report her?” “Dad, Mom, I’m back…” A girl’s voice came. “Jingyi, why are you back now? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be back this week?” Liu Cuifang immediately changed her expression to a kind one when she saw her precious daughter. Lu Jingyi was studying in junior high school in the county.

 It was thanks to Lu Cheng’s allowance that she could afford such a good school. “Mom, I’m out of money to eat. The money you gave me last month is all gone…” Lu Jingyi acted cute to her mother. “What? Five yuan a month is not enough?” “Mom, it’s not enough at all. I can’t even fill my stomach. By the way, Mom, why did we move to the old house? I just knocked on the door of the new house for a long time, and finally, the third sister-in-law opened it.

 I saw her eating meat with the dog and the cat. It smelled so good. She didn’t let me in. Mom, did our family get rich? Even the third sister-in-law is eating meat…” “Jingyi, don’t talk nonsense! Your third sister-in-law not only took back the three big tiled houses, but she also took your third brother’s thirty yuan allowance.

 Maybe you won’t be able to go to school anymore. You’ll have to come back and work, otherwise, the whole family will starve…” Li Xiuyin quickly interjected. “What? How can the third sister-in-law do that? Mom, I can’t stop going to school!…” Lu Jingyi was anxious when she heard this. After saying that, she looked at the meager pickled vegetables, coarse grain cakes, and steamed buns on the table and continued in surprise, “And when I came back just now, I passed by Captain Li’s house.

They were also eating meat, and the second sister-in-law’s house also smelled of meat. I thought the village had slaughtered a pig and distributed it to every household. I hurried back to satisfy my cravings.” When Liu Cuifang heard this, she understood. It turned out that Lin Yuexi had gotten the bear meat and sent some to Captain Li’s family and the second brother’s family, but she didn’t give any to her in-laws.

This was unacceptable! She immediately threw down her chopsticks, “Eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, let’s go to that bitch Lin Yuexi and demand the bear meat…” When Lu Jian Guo heard this, he didn’t dare to move. He was still feeling the pain from the kick Lin Yuexi gave him last time. “Mom, let’s not go. The third sister-in-law sent meat to the second brother’s family. We can just go to the second brother’s house and ask for some…” When Liu Cuifang heard this, she thought her eldest son was right.

The second son was also something. He married a wife and forgot his mother. He only gave one yuan for her old age every month and didn’t care about anything else. This time, he was even more outrageous. He got bear meat and only cared about himself, not giving any to his parents. Seeing her mother-in-law instructing her husband to go to Lu Jianmin’s house to demand the bear meat, Li Xiuyin was overjoyed.

They, as a couple, had suffered a lot at Lin Yuexi’s hands and didn’t dare to go to her again. But the second brother’s family was different. After the family split, the second brother’s family obediently gave them the allowance for their old age every month. Now that they had bear meat, they should first give some to their father and mother. So, Liu Cuifang led Lu Jian Guo, Li Xiuyin, Lu Wei, and Lu Jingyi, a group of people, to Lu Jianmin’s house. Seeing this, Lu Zhendong shook his head helplessly.

 He could only let them go and make a fool of themselves. Back when they split the family, Lu Jianmin only got one month’s worth of food and a few ceramic bowls. The three adobe houses they lived in were built with money borrowed from Wang Lijuan’s family. To be far away from their mother-in-law, they chose a homestead 300 meters away. At this moment, Lu Jianmin, Wang Lijuan, and their daughter, Lu Xiaomei, were happily eating the bear meat, full of gratitude for Lin Yuexi, completely unaware that Liu Cuifang and the others didn’t dare to trouble Lin Yuexi but had turned their attention to them.

It was not yet completely dark. When Liu Cuifang and her family were on their way to Lu Jianmin’s house, they were seen by Zhang, the older woman, who was passing by. Zhang, the older woman, hurried to tell Lu Jianmin and his wife. When Wang Lijuan heard this, she knew that her mother-in-law and the others must be after the bear meat. She quickly hid the bear meat on the table in a secret place. “

Mom, I haven’t had enough. Why are you putting it away…” Lu Xiaomei was young and didn’t understand why she had to hide the meat when her grandma came. “Xiaomei, don’t be naughty. Otherwise, when Grandma comes, you won’t get to eat any…” Wang Xiuyuan said. Lu Xiaomei mumbled, “Grandma is so annoying. She’s so old, and she still wants to steal my family’s meat…” As soon as she finished speaking, a knock came at the door, “Bang bang bang.” After Wang Lijuan hid the bear meat, Lu Jianmin straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and went to open the door.

 Seeing Liu Cuifang and her group standing outside, he forced a smile on his face, “Mom, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, why are you here? Come in and sit down.” Liu Cuifang snorted and strode into the house. She smelled the meat and searched around with her eyes but didn’t see any sign of the bear meat. She was secretly annoyed. Lu Jian Guo, Li Xiuyin, and Lu Jingyi followed behind, confidently walking in. Lu Wei sniffed, “Grandma, it smells so good.

 Did Second Uncle’s family really eat meat?” Seeing this, Liu Cuifang sat down on a stool and said straight to the point, “Second son’s family, I heard that you got bear meat from Lin Yuexi. Why didn’t you send us some?” Wang Lijuan said with a smile, “Mom, who told you that? We don’t have any bear meat.” Liu Cuifang’s face darkened, “You dare to lie? Jingyi saw it. Several families in the village are eating bear meat. I heard that Lin Yuexi hunted the bear on the mountain…

” Lu Jianmin said from the side, “Mom, don’t listen to gossip. If my sister-in-law really hunted a bear, how could she not send you some? Why would she send it to us…” “Who knows? That bitch, she’s been like a different person these past few weeks. First, she wanted the house back, then she took San’er’s allowance, and now she’s even hunted a bear…” Liu Cuifang said angrily. Lu Jingyi listened from the side.

Although she was surprised by the change in her third sister-in-law, she hadn’t eaten meat for a long time. But the temptation of meat overshadowed everything else. So she said to Lu Jianmin, “Second brother, don’t lie to Mom. When I came back today, I saw you cooking meat…” Lu Jian Guo chimed in, “Second brother, you married a wife and forgot your mother. Don’t hide it anymore. Quickly hand over the bear meat.

 We won’t make things difficult for you. We’re still family.”
