Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Chapter 222 The Lu Family's Reputation [3000]

Looking at the proud little sisters, Yin Mingzhu also smiled.

She glanced past her little sister and looked out the dormitory window. The afternoon sun, which was gradually approaching dusk, shone golden light through the trees on campus.

Even if you are in the dormitory upstairs, you can still vaguely hear the cicadas calling "Zha Zha" in the woods.

Yes, it’s summer again, and even the cicadas in the north have begun to chirp, so how far is summer vacation?
Thinking that I will soon be meeting that annoying guy again, he might laugh at my lack of taste.

Yin Mingzhu was a little absent-minded, and at the same time, her heart was in turmoil.

Thousands of miles away.

After a two-day and one-night train ride, Lu Yang and the sixth brother Lu Youzhi were exhausted when they got out of Zhaoxian Railway Station and got into the Santana sedan waiting outside.

The person who came to pick them up today was just an apprentice from the factory's driver class.

Gong Ping'an was not there, and Da Jun was not there either. My eldest cousin Lu Youren was the eldest son of my uncle's family, so he had to stay in the mourning hall and could not leave.

Lu Youzhi was worried that his cousin would not trust the apprentice driver to drive, so he volunteered, "Cousin, how about I drive?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get in your car and hurry up to sleep. When you get home, do you think you will have a chance to sleep again? The filial son will definitely stay up all night tonight to guard the mourning hall. There is still a busy morning tomorrow. It will be very tiring to worship during the funeral, and you have to go barefoot. Fortunately, it is summer, not winter, so you only need to worry about your feet being hit by small stones, not frostbitten..."

As he spoke, he had already opened the back door of the Santana.

He bent down and crawled in.

Driver apprentice is just a title. It does not mean that he cannot drive. He was transferred from the truck driver class by his cousin when Ping An and Da Jun were not there, and was specially used to drive to the train station to pick him up. He must be the apprentice with the best skills among the truck drivers taught by his master.

On the contrary, Lao Liu was the one who really worried him because he didn't have very good skills, had just experienced the pain of losing his father, and had to travel a long distance for two days and one night.

Lu Youzhi obediently opened the front door and got into the passenger seat.

And turned his head away from time to time with envy.

The back row is spacious, and if there is only one person sitting there, you can lie down and sleep.

Sure enough, not long after the car drove out of the train station, Lu Yang fell asleep in the back seat.

The driver, Xiao Chen, saw what happened through the rearview mirror and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lu Youzhi was a little surprised and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. Don't wake up my cousin. It's the same if you tell me."

The driver, Xiao Chen, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and then said, "My master has something to tell you, and the boss, by the way, my master is your eldest brother. He told you that no matter what happens, no matter who you meet or what you say after you go back, you must remember not to get angry. If there is anything, wait until tomorrow after the funeral, when the old master has been buried in peace, before you talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Youzhi's whole body suddenly straightened up and he clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged.

He said angrily: "Someone is here to cause trouble? Who is it? Why do you want to make things difficult for our Lu family?"

The driver, Xiao Chen, advised him, "Calm down. No one is here to cause trouble, nor is anyone trying to make things difficult for your Lu family. Well, how can I put it? This is very complicated."

Lu Youzhi heard this.

After thinking for a while, he forced himself to calm down, glanced at the driver Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, as I remember, you should be from Xiahuai Village, right? I have a fifth brother who also lives in Xiahuai Village. His name is Lu Youli. Do you know him?"

The driver, Xiao Chen, turned around in surprise and asked, "How did you guess that? Is it your fifth brother?"

Lu Youzhi snorted: "Drive your car carefully."

There are some family scandals that he doesn't want to make public.

"Understood, Manager Lu, don't worry."

Driver Xiao Chen focused his attention on driving again.

He was just a mouthpiece and had completed his mission.

There are two people in the car, one is the big boss and the other is the manager who actually manages the factory.

If anyone is unhappy, then the job opportunity that he has worked so hard to get may be lost.

The car suddenly became quiet.

But you could also hear that someone was indeed angry, because his breathing was very rapid.

In the back row, Lu Yang also woke up, his eyes slightly squinting.

He nodded secretly.

He was quite satisfied with the performance of the driver Xiao Chen.

As for, I accidentally heard the name of a member of the Lu family named Lu Youli.

This made him shake his head secretly.

This Lu Youli.

How to put it, being stingy, mean, and narrow-minded are just some of his most common shortcomings. The key is that this person is so heartless.

I don’t know what happened this time?

After thinking about it, he fell asleep again.

After two days and one night of long-distance train, you sit down and buy a car to stop, clanging and clanging. I believe that anyone who has taken the high-speed rail of the future, and then changes to the current green train for a few long-distance trips, will definitely find it unbearable to such boredom and become mentally exhausted.

Half an hour later, the Santana drove into Shanghuai Village. From afar, we could see the old house of the Lu family at the foot of the tea mountain, which was hung with white banners and filled with music of gongs and drums.

After getting off the car.

First, they have to go to the mourning hall to pay respects. According to the rules, the female elders of the clan will come to put on mourning clothes for them.

Lu Yang is his nephew's son and is treated the same as Lu Youzhi, the sixth son.

By the time she had put on her clothes, Lu Yang's aunt, who had become much thinner in the old house, ran out upon hearing the news, and hugged her fourth son who had come back from afar, crying loudly.

"Son, you're back! Son, my life is so hard!"

"Damn it, it must be that damned one who hit your father. Otherwise, how could he be dead out of nowhere?"

"Son..."

A handful of tears and a handful of nose.

She smeared it on her son's clothes on the back without caring.

Lu Yang frowned as he watched, and quickly slipped away, going in to check on his uncle first.

He would rather face his uncle's coffin than face his wife like this.

really,

Lu Yang just left.

After crying while holding her son, the aunt looked up to look for her promising nephew, only to find that Lu Yang had secretly left. She was immediately disappointed.

Oops, that wasn’t the best performance.

She shouldn't have hugged her son and cried first. She should have hugged her nephew and cried first. Only this capable nephew could help her.

"Mom, you said my father was hit and killed by a car?"

"This isn't right."

"That's not what my brother said on the phone. He said I fell down by myself and no one was there to find me in time. I might have died of heat stroke."

Lu Youzhi also realized that the situation at home was probably very complicated.

There are problems with the mother too.

"Bullshit, what does your brother know? He wasn't there."

Lu Yang's aunt jumped up and down.

Lu Youzhi was shocked. He didn't expect his parents to react so strongly.

"So, are you there, Mom?"

He had no choice but to ask.

Big brother is not here, so what he said doesn't count.

What about my parents?
If my parents could be at the scene, maybe they could know some other details.

Although Lu Youzhi believed that his elder brother would not lie about this matter, his parents said these words in such a confident tone in front of him, which still made him feel a little uneasy.

"I, of course I wasn't there either. I was taking care of your sister-in-law at the time. She had just given birth, and my eldest grandson also needed someone to take care of him. I couldn't do without help."

Lu Yang's aunt explained to her son in a slightly panicked manner.

Lu Youzhi frowned and said, "Since you weren't at the scene, why do you want to overturn big brother's conclusion? Big brother is the eldest son of the Lu family, there is no reason for him to lie. And if it was true that I was hit by a car, how could I not call the police?"

"Huh, I'm scared."

Lu Yang's aunt said disdainfully: "The murderer is the son-in-law of the village party secretary, did you know that? He has a stable job and is a high-ranking official in the county. Your brother is such an honest man, how dare he offend the village party secretary and the high-ranking official in the county?"

"What a mess, mother, what are you talking about, do you have any evidence?"

My eldest brother explained clearly on the phone that it was the son-in-law of the village party secretary, Officer Li from the county investment promotion office, who found my father lying on the curb on the main road at the entrance of the village. But by that time, my father had already died, so it was unlikely that he was hit by the other party.

But my parents insisted that it was the other party who hit them. What was their evidence?
"Humph, if he didn't hit it, why would he go to the village to call for help?"

Lu Youzhi took a breath and said, "Mom, who taught you to say this?"

"Your fifth brother, isn't what you said reasonable?"

Lu Yang's aunt said proudly: "Look, son, I have insisted that it was this man who hit you. He was the first person to approach your father after he left the village. Is it him? Now that he is dead, is he the same one who is paying the compensation?
It's a relief for him not to go to jail.

City people have money.

Son, you have to help your mother persuade your cousin to come forward. Only if he does it can the other party admit his bad luck and pay the money. Whether your mother can rely on this money to support her for the rest of her life depends entirely on you."

Lu Youzhi became furious when he heard this.

I endured it for a long time, but I couldn't bear it anymore.

"Mom, listen to me first. Can you please go back to your room? Stop yelling here. Isn't it ugly? We can't talk nonsense without evidence. Let me and my brother handle this matter. Okay?"

Done.

He pushed his mother back into the house.

Then he angrily looked for someone and said: You are so good, Lu Youli. For a few bucks, you dare to ruin the reputation of the Lu family and wrongly accuse a good person. I will beat you to death.
