deep sin

Chapter 36

"What?! 10?!" When Mrs. Lu heard the number from her husband's mouth, she immediately jumped up from her chair, pointed at Lu Jun, and cursed, "What a man who suffered a thousand dollars! You have lied to me for so long! Didn’t you say that your parents’ cemetery was worthless, so your brother sold it for 2 to 10 yuan! Now what’s the matter with [-] yuan?! What’s wrong with our family? You know the situation and conditions best! Such a large sum of money was swallowed up by Lu Min, and it was spent in such a mess! If you don’t stop it, if you don’t think about it, you still help him hide it as a cover ! Are you worthy of me or your dead parents! Lu Jun, pat your chest and ask yourself, are you worthy of your own conscience!"

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Lu Jun didn't expect his wife's reaction to be so strong, and he panicked for a while, stretching his hands forward slightly, neither stepping forward nor not stepping forward.

"Bring a wet towel and wipe her face." Lu Jun was at a loss, Qin Ruonan took out a tissue, handed it to Aunt Lu, and reminded Lu Jun by the way.

Lu Jun came back to his senses, and while responding, he hurriedly ran out of the living room and rushed into the kitchen.

Mrs. Lu cried for a while, and the crying gradually subsided. She wiped away her tears with the facial tissue that Qin Ruonan stuffed her. When she raised her eyes and saw two people standing in front of her, she felt embarrassed and embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly, staring at the upper of his shoes, sobbing, and shedding a few tears from time to time.

"I made you laugh." Letting her emotions buffer for a while, Mrs. Lu's sobs subsided a little, she took the initiative to speak to An Changpu and Qin Ruonan, rolled her eyelids and stared fiercely, hurriedly took a hot towel Come to my husband: "It's not that I'm obsessed with wealth, I don't even let the old man's cemetery go. If no one touches the cemetery of my parents-in-law, even if someone in the market offers 20 or 30, I won't be tempted. But Lu Min sold the cemetery on his own initiative, and the tomb has already been sold, so I have no choice but to care about the money!"

As soon as she mentioned the 10 yuan for the grave, Mrs. Lu became so angry that she wiped her face with a towel twice, and threw it to Lu Jun, who went away with the towel in her hands. The kitchen was tidied up.

"You can see the conditions of our family. It's okay to want anything that is shabby. The two of us have nothing much to do in our life. Anyway, we can live on, eat enough and dress warmly, and we are content. But people can't just think about it. Thinking about yourself, don’t you think so? I still have two daughters! The two daughters of my family are a little older than Lu Min’s family, and both of them are sensible and competitive. When we got married, we were considerate of the poor conditions in the family and didn't ask us to pay any money. But a few days ago, my eldest daughter gave birth to a child, and her husband's family wanted us to express it, but we couldn't come up with money, so we had to say shyly, we You can help take care of the children, but when they heard this tone, they immediately became unhappy, saying that we don't need to take care of them, saying that our hands are too thick to hold the children."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu shed a few more tears: "If we can share some of the money, we won't say anything when our daughter has a baby, and her in-laws won't have such a big opinion! Because we and her parents-in-law Contradictions, my daughter cries every day when she is still in confinement, what a heart! If Lu Min hadn't swallowed the money by himself?"

"Money, money, money! You've been talking about money for so long! Our daughter is her mother-in-law's snobbery! What does it have to do with us! You've been talking for so long, do you want people to think that our man is incompetent or something?!" Mrs. Lu hadn't finished complaining here. Lu Jun came back from the kitchen, heard a few words, and suddenly became angry, "Our daughter is fine, and my grandson is fine too! My brother is dead, you are so stubborn, Do you want me to sell his grave and give you the money back?!"

Lu Jun's sudden fury startled Mrs. Lu. She didn't know whether she was afraid of Lu Jun's angry appearance, or she was unwilling to continue the dispute in front of two outsiders. Angrily, she walked out of the living room, and when she passed by her husband, whether it was intentional or not, she bumped Lu Jun hard with her shoulder, causing him to stagger.

"Then what? Don't take it to heart, it's a common thing for couples to quarrel and quarrel! After you get married, you will know when you are our age." Aunt Lu walked away angrily, and Lu Jun himself He became a little embarrassed, he explained, and sighed helplessly, "My wife is not usually a money-grubbing person, this time she really got run over! My eldest daughter's in-law's family Not something."

An Changpu naturally has no curiosity about the situation of Lu Jun's eldest daughter-in-law's family, and he is not interested. Lu Jun's own thoughts are what they want to know most at the moment, so he smiled understandingly at Lu Jun: "Every family has its roots. Difficult scriptures to recite, everyone has troubles, understand!"

When he said this, Lu Jun seemed to be relieved, and sat down slowly.

"Why didn't you tell the family before that Lu Min sold his grave and received 10 yuan?" After Lu Jun sat down, An Changpu asked in a calm tone, as if chatting.

"It's because I'm afraid that my wife is thinking about the money!" Lu Jun replied in a low voice, turned his head and glanced outside the living room, and made sure that Mrs. Lu was not eavesdropping at the door, so he was relieved, "It's not that my wife is greedy for money. You two can see the conditions yourself. We really need money. After I heard that he sold his parents’ cemetery for money, I also thought about getting my share back, but then I gave up. Before Lu Min He is also a loafer at home. After surgery to become a woman, there is no man in his family. Ding Mulan usually works very hard, working in the fields before dawn, and has to run home at noon to give to my unsatisfactory brother. Cooking and taking care of the children. No matter how poor our family is, with me here, we will never be hungry. After Lu Min spends the rest of the money, I think I will help the three mothers in the family. Who knows that Lu Min is too much, I don’t know where the 10 was spent, and I owe a loan shark!”

"Do you sympathize with Ding Mulan?" When they were waiting for the DNA sampling at the Public Security Bureau, Ding Mulan and Lu Jun hardly spoke, and the two of them acted indifferently, so today Lu Jun talked about giving up and Lu Jun. When Min asked for the money from selling his parents' cemetery, he attributed the main reason to being considerate of Ding Mulan's mother and daughter, which surprised Qin Ruonan.

"Girl, do you think it's ridiculous that I don't live my life well and worry about other people's affairs?" Lu Jun misunderstood Qin Ruonan's question.

Qin Ruonan didn't say a word, neither explained nor admitted.

Lu Jun just took her as acquiescing, touched his head, and tried to find a tenable reason for himself: "Don't look at me complaining that Ding Mulan is not strong enough to control Lu Min, that's all It’s an angry word! It’s interesting for a woman to be like Ding Mulan. Anyway, even if I become a woman, I may not be able to do it. After Lu Min went for breast augmentation surgery, he came back and made men and women. No ghosts or ghosts, some people in the village persuaded Ding Mulan to remarry, and there were also single men who liked Ding Mulan and wanted to introduce her to Lu Min after she divorced. We had heard about this at the time, and thought, If someone divorces and remarries, we can't stop him, after all, Lu Min is like that, why should we let him be nice to a woman and live with a fake woman like this!"

"What's Ding Mulan's attitude?"

"She didn't agree. No matter who persuaded her, she always had the same attitude. She said that she and Lu Min still have a relationship as a husband and wife. It doesn't matter if it's love or not. Even if there is no love, there is still a family relationship. I'd rather stay with the people of Lu. You said, a woman would rather be a widow than to be the daughter-in-law of our old Lu family. This makes me, an uncle, how can I go to pester him for some money."

As soon as Lu Jun finished speaking, Mrs. Lu came in from the door. Her eyelids were still red and swollen, but she cheered up a lot. When she entered the room, she gave Lu Jun a glance, sat down on the chair, and snorted. Said: "You know what! Who said Ding Mulan was a widow?!"
