Chapter 109: The Lu Clan's Sudden Departure

  "Mother, no, we don't have any silver or gold. If we did, would we not bring it out to show our filial piety to you and Father? We really don't! Lu's smile was almost frozen on her face. In order to prevent those two packages of pastries from falling into Xu's hands, she had no choice but to put on a flattering expression, stiffly smiling as she said: "Mother, my brother and I won't separate from you, we'll stay by your side and Father's side. Later, when you and Father pass away, my brother and I will still have to wear mourning clothes for you."

  Listening to what was said earlier, Mr. and Mrs. Xu were still very pleased, after all, the elderly still like to have their children and grandchildren accompany them.

  But when they heard the words behind, Xu Shi and Chu Zhenghai's faces turned quite ugly.

  Especially Chu Zhenghai, who had just passed his birthday a few hours ago, was now being told that he would be wearing mourning attire, and he was naturally very displeased.

  Not only Chu Zhenghai and Xu, but also Chu Lishou and Chu Lixin's family are now looking at Lu with a sullen face, unanimously feeling that this old second family is simply a real brainless.

  Guan Dashan, who was sitting next to Chu Zhenghai, also looked embarrassed and felt increasingly disgusted with the Chu family.

  As for Lu Shi's hidden pastries, Chu Li was unaware of it. If he had known earlier, those two packages of pastries wouldn't have been able to be hidden by Lu Shi until today.

  Just heard what his wife said, Chu Lishi also felt that something was not right. Seeing the ugly faces of his parents, Chu Lishi suddenly became angry and kicked his wife's buttocks, "You damned woman, what nonsense are you talking about? Get out, get out of here!"

  As he spoke, Chu Lishou kicked Lu's buttocks again.

  When she was hit for the first time, Lu Shi was startled and even forgot to cry out. However, after being hit the second time, she suddenly came to her senses, opened her mouth and started wailing loudly. Her cries were so loud that not only did they startle everyone in the house, but also tugged at the heartstrings of the villagers outside who had gathered to watch the commotion.

  "What are you yelling about! Your mother and I aren't dead yet!" Chu Zhenghai finally couldn't bear it anymore, and bellowed at Lu Shi.

  It turned out that Chu Zhenghai's roar really stunned Lu Shi.

  However, this was only a very short effect. Lu's buttocks were kicked twice, and although it hurt, she still remembered the two packages of pastries. Moreover, after being shouted at by Chu Zhenghai, she suddenly thought of a plan in her heart. With a loud cry, she rushed out of the door of the main house.

  Everyone was startled by Lu's action, fortunately Chu Zhenghai reacted quickly and shouted at Chu Lishi: "What are you still standing there for? When the elders arrive later, do we have to wait for all your family members to arrive?"

  The implication is that you should quickly bring back your wife.

  Chu Lishi was already startled by Lu's actions, and now being shouted at by Chu Zhenghai, the confusion on his face became even more severe.

  Finally, Osmanthus couldn't bear it anymore and kindly reminded him: "Second uncle, hurry up and call back second aunt, otherwise when the elderly uncles come later, they will definitely pick a quarrel."

  "Ah?" Chu Lishi suddenly came to his senses, turned around and ran out. Even as he was running away, people could still hear the sound of him gritting his teeth, "You good-for-nothing women! Three days without a beating, you're like a tile that's been lifted off the roof! If I don't flay you alive, my surname isn't Chu!"
