Chapter 29 Bear Meat Causes Trouble [Part 2]

Wang Lijuan still insisted, “Eldest brother, the third sister-in-law really didn’t send us any bear meat. Don’t be unreasonable.” Li Xiuyin immediately said, “Second sister-in-law, you can’t just say that you didn’t send it. Let us have a look…” She said and rushed into the kitchen to search. Lu Jian Guo, Lu Jingyi, also started to rummage through the cabinets. Lu Jianmin and Wang Xiuyuan were so angry that their faces turned pale. Lu Xiaomei stood aside, tears welling up in her eyes. Lu Jianmin wanted to stop them, but Lu Wei clung to him, crying and saying, “Second Uncle, you have meat and you don’t want to share with us. How stingy you are.” Just then, Li Xiuyin found the pot where Wang Xiuyuan had hidden the bear meat in the woodpile.

She carried it to Liu Cuifang and said, “Mom, look at this…” Wang Lijuan was about to rush forward to grab it, but Lu Jian Guo stopped her. Seeing that Li Xiuyin had found the bear meat, Liu Cuifang pointed at Lu Jianmin and said, “Second son, what is this if it’s not meat? You unfilial son, you really forgot your mother after you married.

 You clearly have plenty of meat at home, but you don’t send some to your father and mother. I shouldn’t have given birth to you…” Lu Jianmin’s face turned pale, his eyes were red, but he could only endure it. The word “filial piety” could kill a person. He thought that when they split the family, they looked down on his wife and only considered her to have given birth to a daughter. She had never given him a single quilt. Now she only wanted him to support her in her old age. Now that his third sister-in-law had sent a few pounds of bear meat, she came to steal it. Seeing that she had gotten the bear meat, Liu Cuifang ordered, “Eldest son, let’s go…” “Grandma, you can’t take away my family’s meat!

 I haven’t eaten yet!” Lu Xiaomei rushed forward to stop Liu Cuifang, her voice filled with grievance. “You little girl, you’re just a burden. What meat are you eating? This meat should be for Wei’er…” She said as she slapped Lu Xiaomei. Seeing her daughter being slapped, Wang Lijuan finally couldn’t take it anymore! She went crazy, broke free from Lu Jian Guo’s restraint, and rushed towards Liu Cuifang. Her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was a little messy, “Why did you hit my daughter? How can you be so cruel!” Wang Lijuan’s voice was choked with sobs, but it was filled with immense anger.

 Liu Cuifang was startled by Wang Lijuan’s sudden outburst. She subconsciously took a step back, but quickly regained her composure, “What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel? I’m disciplining my granddaughter. What business is it of yours?” Wang Lijuan trembled, pointing at Liu Cuifang and said, “You never treated us like family. You ignored us when we split the family, and now you come to steal meat and hit people. This meat was sent to my family by the third sister-in-law. You can’t take it away!” Seeing this, Lu Jian Guo quickly stepped forward and pulled Wang Lijuan, “Second sister-in-law, don’t be impulsive. If this gets out of hand, it won’t be good for anyone.

” Wang Lijuan struggled, “Eldest brother, you’re bullying us too much. Haven’t we suffered enough all these years?” Lu Jianmin also quickly walked to Lu Xiaomei’s side to check on his daughter’s injuries. Looking at the red mark on his daughter’s face, his heartache turned into resentment towards his mother, “Mom, you’re going too far. If you dare to take this meat today, don’t expect me to acknowledge you as my mother anymore!” Liu Cuifang widened her eyes, “You dare to threaten me? I’m your mother!” Lu Jingyi fanned the flames from the side, “Second brother, how can you talk to Mom like that? It’s just a little bear meat. It’s only right for Mom to take it.” Lu Jianmin gritted his teeth and said, “It’s not about the meat. It’s about your attitude towards our family all these years.

I can’t let you bully my wife and daughter anymore.” At this time, the neighbors around heard the commotion and gathered around. They pointed and whispered about the Lu family’s drama… “Disobedient son, what do you want?” Liu Cuifang was furious. “Put the meat down, and you’re still my mother. I’ll still give you five yuan every month for your old age. If you don’t put it down, don’t expect to get a single cent from me.” Lu Jianmin said. When Liu Cuifang heard this, she couldn’t believe it.

 She immediately fell to the ground and wailed, “Disobedient son, you married a wife and forgot your mother! I raised you from a baby, and now you treat me like this…” Seeing this, Wang Lijuan couldn’t take it anymore. She rushed forward like a madwoman to grab the pot from Li Xiuyin’s hands. Li Xiuyin naturally wouldn’t give it to her. Wang Lijuan stepped heavily on Li Xiuyin’s instep. Li Xiuyin cried out in pain, “Ouch!” She wasn’t paying attention, and the pot overturned, falling to the dusty ground. The soup splashed everywhere… The bear meat rolled onto the ground, covered in dust and dirt.

It instantly attracted the attention of two dogs nearby. They gathered around, growling softly, and fighting over the meat. Seeing this, Lu Wei cried and wanted to drive the wild dogs away to get the bear meat back, but he was scared and fell to the ground. Lu Jian Guo quickly went to help Lu Wei up, and Lu Jingyi screamed from the side. Seeing the bear meat being ruined, Liu Cuifang became even more hysterical, her cries grew louder, and she directly cursed Wang Lijuan as a bad omen and a jinx. Lu Jianmin looked at the chaotic scene, filled with sadness and helplessness. He looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the emotions that were about to burst forth.

 Lu Xiaomei hid behind her father, her eyes filled with fear and grievance. Her small hand tightly clutched Lu Jianmin’s clothes. Wang Lijuan stood there blankly, her eyes vacant, her face still stained with tears. This farce had exhausted her physically and mentally. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and her disappointment in this family had reached its peak. The neighbors gossiped around, some shaking their heads in disapproval, some pointing and whispering. In the midst of all this noise and chaos, someone, it was unclear who, called Captain Li over. Behind him was Old Man Lu.

Actually, Captain Li didn’t have a good impression of the Lu family. But if they kept making a scene like this, it would spread bad rumors. Captain Li glanced at Old Man Lu and said, “Lu family, quickly persuade your wife to go back. What’s the point of making such a scene?” Old Man Lu sighed helplessly and slowly walked towards Liu Cuifang, who was still throwing a tantrum on the ground, “Cuifang, stop it.

This is not appropriate. Let’s go home. We can discuss this later.” But Liu Cuifang slapped Old Man Lu’s hand away, “Discuss later? This disobedient son has forgotten his mother. I have to get justice today!” Old Man Lu frowned, “What will you achieve by making such a scene? You’ll only make people laugh at you.”

 Captain Li also stepped forward and said sternly, “Liu Cuifang, if you keep making trouble, I’ll deal with you according to the village rules. This bear meat was given to Jianmin’s family by the third wife. It’s wrong for you to fight over it like this.” When Liu Cuifang heard this, she sat up, pointed at Captain Li, and said, “You’re eating my third son’s bear meat, and you’re going to punish me? This is my family’s business.

My son is unfilial, and I want everyone to judge me!” When Captain Li was interrupted by Liu Cuifang, his face turned red with anger, and he was about to get angry. Seeing the situation was not good, Lu Jian Guo quickly said to Captain Li, “Captain, this is all a misunderstanding. We just wanted to take the bear meat back for our father and mother to eat. We didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”
