Chapter 351

The elderly are naturally happy to live in a big house, especially a villa, but living in the urban area, Lu's father and Lu's mother, who have lived in the countryside for decades, feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, they have lived in the hospital for treatment for more than half a year, and they know that living in the urban area is not very convenient.

Now that they are recovering soon, their daughter has to work again, and they have no time to take care of them, and they are not very familiar with the city, and it is inconvenient to go out. After thinking about it, the two elders still think it is more convenient to live in the countryside.

Liu Mang hasn't been to Lu Hui's hometown yet, it's in the town, not far from the city, only an hour away.

After half a year, when they returned home again, the two elders looked very complicated. This time they were hospitalized because of illness, and they almost couldn't come back.

After getting out of the car, the second elder looked at the dusty door, his face showed excitement.

It's good to be back alive.

"Dad, Mom!"

Lu Hui supported her mother's hand and walked towards the door: "I haven't been back for half a year, and I don't know how the house is. It must be full of dust."

Back then, my father and mother fell ill and were in a hurry. The whole family was busy being hospitalized in the urban area for treatment. The hometown was not settled well, even some clothes were not packed.

Some relatives next door were very surprised to see the second elder came back, and they went up to greet and chat.

However, this hospitalization made the second elder see through the face of his relatives.

Knowing that they were seriously ill, I was afraid that they would not come back after borrowing money. When I had no money to see a doctor, I called one by one, and even asked my daughter to visit in person, but was rejected.

At that time, they were already desperate and helpless, but the ruthlessness of their relatives broke their hearts even more. At the moment when their relatives came to greet them, they didn't even want to look at them.

"Don't come to us in the future, we won't kiss."

Father Lu glanced at his relatives, his face was calm, and he said in a calm tone, "You go! Don't come and walk around my house."

The words are very direct.

no way.

In fact, those who are relatives know that if someone's family is in trouble, if it is not to the point where there is no other way, no one wants to ask relatives for help.

When the situation is desperate, even the relatives are unwilling to help, no matter how much, it can not be chilling, but they don't help at all, and refuse without hesitation.

It's no wonder Father Lu wasn't completely disappointed.

When he was hospitalized and the worried family couldn't pay for the medical expenses, his heart was completely cold. Relatives are not relatives, and if they are not relatives, even relatives are dispensable.

Liu Mang didn't speak, but just stood aside and watched. In fact, he knew about this at the time.

It seemed that Father Lu was completely disappointed that he could say such cruel words.

The smile on the face of the relative suddenly looked very embarrassed, and he could only watch helplessly as Lu Hui's family opened the door and closed it with a bang after entering, leaving him standing there alone, motionless.

The reason why they didn't want to lend money to Lu Hui at the beginning was because they knew that Lu Hui's parents might not be able to save her life, so they didn't know if they could return the money after borrowing the money.

That's why I didn't borrow any money.

As for what happened next, they don't know anymore.

Because from then on, no other relatives knew about Lu Hui's family, and Lu Hui never mentioned it to anyone.

After entering the door, a musty smell came to the nostrils. After Lu Hui's family came in, they took a look at the hall covered with dust and cobwebs, and their faces were filled with an indescribable feeling of returning home.

In the joy, there is a long-lost bitterness.

"Liu Mang, the house is a bit dirty, you can sit anywhere!"

Father Lu went to the window, opened all the windows, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that we could come back alive, and we must cherish the rest of our lives in the future."

Surviving this catastrophe made Father Lu look down on money and see clearly what family affection is.

I also saw the true colors of some people.

"Okay, don't be emotional, hurry up and clean up the house."

Mother Lu also laughed, very happily: "Lu Hui, you and Liu Mang go and bring your luggage in, and then go to the vegetable market in the town to buy vegetables. We will cook at home today and not go outside."

In fact, their family has a vegetable field. Before their parents got sick last year, they only grew vegetables and raised a few chickens.

But no one cared about it for half a year, and the vegetables in the vegetable field must have died.

Only the chickens I raised were presumably caught and eaten by relatives.

"Ok!"

Liu Mang hummed, opened the door, walked to the front of the car, opened the trunk, and moved all the old man's luggage in. After finishing, Lu Hui looked at her parents who were cleaning, and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad! Then I and Liu Mang went shopping first."

"Well, let's go! Take the tram."

Father Lu frowned, and remembered the roads in the town. Liu Mang couldn't get in with a car, so he said to Lu Hui, "Go to the place where the cars are kept and see if the trams have electricity. If there is no electricity, change to a motorcycle." car."

"Oh!"

It was only this time that Lu Hui remembered that cars cannot enter the vegetable market: "I see."

"Uncle and aunt, let's go shopping first." Liu Mang laughed.

After the two elders were settled down and some necessary supplies were bought, Liu Mang and Lu Hui were ready to return to the city together.

But before leaving, Liu Mang found that the daily necessities, rice, oil and salt in the town were cheaper than in the city, so he planned to go to the town to buy some supplies before leaving.

It's not Liu Mangkou, but a habit I've developed since I was a child. I know that things in the town are often cheaper than those in the city, and they are environmentally friendly and have not been polluted.

But as soon as Liu Mang and Lu Hui arrived at the market in the town, they heard a hiss and shout from the houses on both sides of the road.

It was as if someone had died.

Liu Mang, who was riding a tram, heard the mournful shouts, couldn't help but stop the car, and looked at the houses next to him.

Most of the houses on both sides of the market road are shops on the first floor, and residences on the second floor.

Looking at a shop on the first floor, Liu Mang saw a frail middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with a pale complexion, looking malnourished, sitting on a wooden sofa, holding a The fat ball of a woman is howling and crying.

It was good morning at this time, the store in the market had just opened, and there were not many people going to the market, and it was still deserted.

The door of this store has just opened not long ago.

But the cry of this frail middle-aged man alarmed everyone nearby, and soon, two old people and two teenagers rushed out from the second floor in a panic.

Seeing the obese woman lying lifeless in the arms of a frail middle-aged man, her complexion as pale as paper, and her appearance as if she was already dead, they were immediately frightened.

Especially two old people.

For a moment, his face was ashen.

When the daughter died, the two elders suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and they were completely terrified.

They had only one daughter, and it was strange that their beliefs would not collapse in an instant if they died like this.

Even the two teenage children cried out of nowhere, very sadly.

"What's going on, what's going on."

After crying for a long time, the deceased's father wiped away the tears on his face, pointed at the frail middle-aged man, and shouted in a very irritable tone, "Why did my daughter die? What happened?"

The daughter died overnight without any warning signs. Of course, the deceased's parents could not accept it.

"Would you like to go down and have a look?"

Lu Hui, who was sitting in the back seat, felt uncomfortable seeing this scene.

In fact, she knew the family.

She lived in the town since she was a child, and she went to junior high school and elementary school, both in the town. She visited most of the shops in the town when she was young, and knew many people.

And since his parents are also from the town, they are more familiar with the people in the town.

From her parents, Lu Hui had heard about this family.

What it was called, actually, she couldn't remember clearly, all she knew was that this frail middle-aged man was the only son in the family who married into a fat woman's house and became her son-in-law.

Fat women are actually ugly, with a fat body like a ball, but they live in a town, and there is a building in the town. The first floor can also be used as a shop, and they can do some business by themselves.

In the town, it can also be said to have a good time.

However, because the family conditions of the married man are not as good as the woman's, he can't even afford a bride price when he gets married. After entering the town, he is disgusted by the woman's parents in various ways. It is even heard that the woman does not respect her husband.

They often quarreled for no reason, saying that he was a bad boy and a softie.

At one point it became the running joke of the town.

"no need."

Liu Mang shook his head lightly: "If someone dies, the police will naturally deal with it."

"And look at the deceased's parents, husband and two children. They are very irritable at the moment. If I meddle in other people's business for no reason, something will happen."

Liu Mang, who was standing outside the shop watching, did not intend to go in and watch the deceased up close.

However, he still saw the face and figure of the deceased.

Fat as a ball, this description is not too much.

But this fat woman, with red bumps all over her face at the moment, looks creepy.

"Then let's go!"

Lu Hui nodded.

Dead people are not uncommon in the town. When I was a child, I was on my body. Almost every time, I heard that someone died in a family. Then I carried a coffin and walked along the road in the town to the mountains near the town for burial. .

Lu Hui has seen this scene countless times since she was a child.

Therefore, although Lu Hui was afraid of the dead, she was no longer nervous.

"and many more."

I don't know why, maybe it's because the murder investigation has become a bit sensitive recently, Liu Mang can't help it, he wants to take a second look, and doesn't want to leave so soon.

He looked at the frail middle-aged man, who was just holding the fat woman's body, while the fat woman's father pointed at him with tears and kept scolding him.

As for the two children, they didn't dare to make a sound, as if they were frightened, they could only stand aside and keep crying.

"It was you, it was you who killed my daughter, you who killed my wife, if I knew it, I would have kicked you out, kicked me out and opened the door... My daughter died, and it was you who killed her." The fat woman's mother , facing the frail son-in-law who came to visit, he raised his hand and slapped him with a dozen hands.

Smoking, the frail middle-aged face became red and swollen in an instant.

"It's the door-to-door son-in-law again!"

Hearing this, Liu Mang thought of the case of Mr. Ding. Sun Longgang is also the son-in-law who came to visit. I don't know...

Could it be the same in this case?

The door-to-door son-in-law, who was slapped and humiliated in public, was not angry, but just hugged his wife's body and wept while covering his face, as if loving.

Weeping very sadly, even Liu Mang felt a little sad when he saw it.

"Get out, get out!"

"Consumption ghost, get the hell out of the house now, and kill my wife!"

I couldn't help it anymore. After the death of the daughter, without the restraint of the daughter, the two elders humiliated the son-in-law who came to the house with the words, which seemed very vicious and cruel, and showed no mercy at all.

The fat daughter's father continued to scold: "You trash, you are useless at all, you killed my daughter, don't let me see you again, go back to your hometown."

As soon as his wife passed away, he was so humiliated by his wife's parents and cursed mercilessly, saying that he killed his wife, and the weak middle-aged generation felt uncomfortable.

Just like an active volcano, monstrous resentment may erupt at any time.

Even a patient is bloody, and if he is irritated to the point of being unbearable, he will rise up and vent his anger even if he is desperate.

What's more, it's just a man who has been bullied for more than ten years.

Even if he is in poor health, weak and weak, he is a man after all, and he is either bullied by his wife or humiliated by his wife's parents every day, so it's no wonder he feels better.

There must be a backlog of resentment and anger.

"Shut up for me."

The frail middle-aged man stood up and glared at his wife's parents, that is, the old father-in-law and mother-in-law, and said with a grim expression: "It was you who asked me to come to be your son-in-law back then. Over the years, I have helped you manage the shop in an orderly manner. I still have to cook for you, just because I'm here, so you don't treat me like a human being!"

"I eat yours and drink yours, but I have worked hard. Now that I die, you will drive me out. Do you think I will compete with you for property? Or do you think I killed myself wife."

It's not that he was driven to a desperate situation, the frail middle-aged actually didn't want to quarrel with his wife's parents under such circumstances.

It would be too embarrassing to say so, and I would never be able to lift my head up in this life.

The town is so big, and the people he sees every day are almost all acquaintances. Now that his wife's parents are insulting him in public, should he hang around in the town in the future.

It is tolerable, what is unbearable.

The frail middle-aged man who has endured it for more than ten years and has never yelled loudly, suddenly went crazy at this moment, and really suppressed the fat woman's parents. Jiadian, do you think you can have today? Every day you know how to play mahjong, go shopping and walk the dog, and she..."

He pointed at his dead wife, "I never help, and I don't cook at home, I just know how to eat...Now that she is dead, I am also very sad, but you say I am killing my wife! Hahaha ..."

"I'm really blind. I joined a family like yours that sees people as inferior."

After he scolded angrily, he turned around and dragged his frail body, and walked towards the stairs on the second floor with great difficulty: "I have endured enough, but if you tell me to get out, then I will get out. Don't worry, I don't want your money. I don’t want money either, I’ve had enough of this family.”

"Son, come with me to pack up, let's go home."

As soon as the daughter died, the son-in-law wanted to leave, and also wanted to take away the two sons. Of course, the powerful elders were unwilling.

The fat woman's father stood up directly, stopped in front of the frail middle-aged man, and said angrily, "You can go, but my grandson stays. You have no right to take my grandson away."

"I don't have the right to take it away? Hahaha!" As if hearing a big joke, the frail middle-aged man laughed contemptuously: "My own son, I have no right to take it away? Who do you think you are?"
