Chapter 78 -78: Beat the Filthy Bitch to Death!

“Oh, Brother, what a thing to say. It’s Chinese New Year, we juniors definitely should come to pay respects to our elders.”

The middle-aged man on the ground shrank his neck and didn’t speak, while the middle-aged woman beside him showed no reaction and kept smiling as she talked incessantly.

“Guo An, Guo Ping, Guo Ning, hurry up and greet your great-uncle and great-aunt,” the middle-aged woman urged irritably, pushing her three children.

“Great-uncle, great-aunt, Happy New Year.”

“And to you, brothers and sisters-in-law, Happy New Year.”

The three Lu brothers looked at one another.

Of the three sisters-in-law, only Jiang Nan rolled her eyes skyward. Susu and Bai Xiao exchanged glances, each reading the words “I don’t know” in the other’s eyes.

Mrs. Lu turned her head away, clearly showing she didn’t want to deal with the newcomers.

Father Lu sighed, “Hmm.”

The middle-aged woman’s smiling face stiffened, then she plunked herself down beside the kang, seemingly oblivious to the family’s unwelcome attitude, and turned to call out to her husband,

“Hey, Dad, what are you standing there stunned for? Come over here and sit down, talk to Brother and sister-in-law.”

From her angle, Susu could see the middle-aged man being stealthily pinched by the woman, his face contorting in pain.

Susu’s mouth twitched, imagining the flesh on his waist twisted a full hundred and eighty degrees. It sounded painful just to think about.

But Susu had guessed the identity of the visitors—it was mentioned in the book that the Lu family had three siblings, with Father Lu being the eldest, followed by a younger brother and sister.

Presumably, this must be Uncle Lu and Cousin Lu’s family. What was the conflict between the two families? It looked like Uncle Lu’s family wasn’t very welcome.

Probably because it was Chinese New Year, their mother-in-law was so angry she didn’t even want to look at them, yet they hadn’t been thrown out.

Father Lu knew his brother and sister-in-law well—they wouldn’t be so enthusiastic for no reason, especially not to the point of bringing a bag of brown sugar.

Frowning, without looking up, he said, “Alright, what’s the matter?”

Cousin Lu’s smile froze on her lips, but perhaps she was experienced in dealing with situations like this, as she quickly recovered her smile within seconds.

Flashing a row of yellow teeth, “I heard Second Brother’s daughter-in-law opened a marinated goods store, with my sister-in-law helping out, no?”

Uncle Lu tugged at his wife’s clothes, murmuring softly.

“Why speak so soon? Don’t be so hasty.”

Cousin Lu backhanded him with another hundred and eighty-degree pinch and hissed through gritted teeth, “Shut up, listen to your mother this time.”

Susu noticed her mother-in-law breathing heavily in anger, grabbing her mother-in-law’s dry, thin hand.

She gave her mother-in-law an encouraging look, signaling not to get upset over dislikable folks—it wasn’t worth it.

Mrs. Lu, seeing her daughter-in-law’s resolute gaze, took a deep breath and squeezed back her daughter-in-law’s warm, soft hand.

Jiang Nan noticed the maneuver between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, her mouth almost reaching her chin in a sneer.

Psht, even with Uncle and Cousin here, there they are acting all mother-in-law and daughter-in-law affectionate.

“What do you mean by this, Second Brother?” Father Lu’s brows furrowed tightly as he stared sternly at Second Brother’s wife.

For a moment, the room was eerily silent.

Uncle Lu, intimidated under his elder brother’s gaze, quivered his lips and stealthily stretched out his hand to pull his wife closer.

“Oh? Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, you’ve also come to wish the elder brother and sister-in-law a happy new year?”

Two plainly dressed middle-aged people—one tall and one short—walked in.

Susu was completely befuddled. Now who were these people?

And what was going on now?

“Ah, Xiao Mei and brother-in-law are here too? You’ve arrived so early this year?”

Mrs. Lu bubbled with excitement, moving down from the kang and taking the woman’s hand, glancing outside the door.

“Why didn’t you bring the kids over? Have them come over and play for a few days.”

The newcomers were Father Lu’s sister—Lu Mei, and the man, Fu Chunsheng, each carrying a basket on their back.

She put down the back basket, which was brimming with items.

Lu Xiaogu wiped the sweat off her forehead, her dark face exuding simplicity.

“Since we had a good harvest this year, I thought of coming over early to celebrate the New Year and, in passing, bring some dried goods and grains.”

“If you come back, you come back, what’s all this with grains? Don’t we have our own at home? We actually prefer the mountain goods, you can’t find them for sale in the county.”

“Elder sister-in-law, it’s all grown by ourselves and costs nothing. Everything is nice in the city, except everything you eat and drink costs money.”

Second Aunt Lu watched Mrs. Lu, who had been looking down her nose earlier, was now getting along with Lu Xiaomei, the two sisters-in-law laughing and chatting together.

She managed to hold back the urge to curse, thinking about the real reason for her visit.

Once Mother’s serious business was done, this little aunt would just wait to be scolded to death by her.

Knowing to send grains to Brother Lu’s family, why didn’t she see any going to Second Brother Lu’s house?

“Brother Lu and elder sister-in-law, look at these nieces and nephews, each one smarter and better behaved than the last. I was thinking it’s better to employ family than hire outsiders.

“Look—”

“No way!”

Before Second Aunt Lu could finish listing all the advantages, Father Lu rejected her flatly with a stern face.

“What? What’s that?”

“I said no, don’t even bring it up. This store isn’t ours to manage; we have no say.

Even if it was ours, we have enough people, and we don’t need you all, so don’t even think about it.”

Upon realizing there was no chance, Second Aunt Lu exploded on the spot.

“Are you insane, Brother? Using outsiders instead of your own family? You’re a real piece of work, great uncle to the kids.”

Second Uncle Lu’s neck bulged as he glared angrily, “Is this how you treat your brother, Brother? You’re not afraid that Mother won’t rest in peace, that she’ll come up and find you…?”

“Second Brother!” Lu Xiaogu hastily tried to break it up.

“Shut up, or believe it or not, I’ll beat you!” Second Brother Lu glared with eyes wide as saucers, throwing off his arm.

“You lay a finger on Xiao Mei, see if I don’t chop you in half,” Mrs. Lu fiercely protected her little aunt.

Father Lu slammed his hand on the table, pointing at Second Uncle Lu, “I dare you! Come at me, I dare you to touch Xiaomei.

As the eldest brother, I’m like a father. Let’s see if Mother comes up to find me after I beat you!”

Susu patted her belly, thinking to herself that it was a bit frightening.

What to do? She now had the image of Old Mrs. Lu crawling up from underground in her mind.

Wuuu~~ So scary! So thrilling!

Uncle Lu immediately shielded his wife and stared intently at his brother-in-law.

“Fine, fine, it’s so typical of you, my eldest uncle and little aunt, to gang up and bully our second branch.”

“Pah! It’s just making some shitty money, I don’t care for it. Let’s go, Dad,” scoffed Second Aunt Lu.

Second Uncle Lu glared fiercely at Father Lu, “Walk on, since they can’t seem to see their poor relatives clearly.”

“Just go! Always creating a fuss!”

Jiang Nan rolled her eyes in disdain, “I can’t understand why Old Mrs. Lu favored your family to begin with.

Worthless, just stir up trouble at home.”

“Nannan.”

“I’ll kill you, you bitch, dare to insult me!”

Brother Lu reacted quickly, pulling his wife behind him and stood with a stern face.

“Uncle, please show some respect!”

Lu Xiaoting frowned, his tone heavy, “Don’t force us on the New Year to have you stay at the Police Station for a few days, Uncle!”

“Alright! You win!”
