459 458: Complain

Machine Translation

Kang Xiaoqiao's face turned cold and she said angrily, "I don't agree. This old lady said that I don't have a family upbringing. Actually, I'm quite curious. To apologize to someone, I have to kneel. I really don't know where the family upbringing came from."

"So, I said that with your actions, I really can't see where the upbringing came from. Am I wrong?"

Everyone's head was full of black lines. What you said was right? The problem was, was it like this back then?

Kang Xiaoqiao didn't care about this... She continued to complain, "But this old lady became even angrier after hearing this. She insisted on asking for the Family Law. This uncle didn't agree, so the old lady said that uncle disobeyed her and said that I had to abide by the Lu family's rules after I married into the Lu family. She said that I didn't come back to visit the old lady when I came to the capital, and she even said that she had to rush me three times to invite me. She also said that not only did I injure a big brother-in-law, but I also injured another one when I arrived at the door of the house, and that I still doesn't have the sincerity to apologize."

"Yichen, I'm puzzled. When we got married, I didn't hear that you had any relatives who were still alive. I didn't see any of them. I didn't even hear the names of the other people surnamed Lu. How could there be an additional in-laws for no reason?"

Lu Yichen quietly listened to Kang Xiaoqiao's untraceable complaint. He knew very well how angry Kang Xiaoqiao had made these people at that time. Kang Xiaoqiao was not someone who would be beaten passively, but even so... When Lu Yichen heard what Kang Xiaoqiao said, the anger in his heart rose.

Hehe, kneel down and apologize? No upbringing? Rules?

In those years, did he not hear enough?

Lu Yichen clenched his fists. Even Kang Xiaoqiao felt pain because her small hand was still being held by Lu Yichen.

Kang Xiaoqiao moved, and Lu Yichen came back to his senses. However, the cold air on his body could freeze a person to death. With Kang Xiaoqiao by his side, he naturally felt even more, so he narrowed his eyes. She continued, "I don't even know that I have a in-law's family. How am I supposed to pay a visit? They even said that they invited me over three times. There's no such thing. They directly sent two people to bring me here. They didn't even let me into the house and let me stand at the door."

When Lu Yichen heard this, he looked coldly at the old lady. It was as if standing at the door was the most evil thing in the world.

Kang Xiaoqiao didn't care about this and continued, "Then, the mother and son came over and said that it was my aunt and cousin. In just a few words, he wanted to touch me. Of course, I wouldn't agree, so we started fighting."

"I admit that, but the old lady said that I hit another one, so I was puzzled. When did I hit someone else? And, I don't even know..."

After saying this, she even shouted with an aggrieved look, "Yichen--"

Her aggrieved expression made it seem as though this whole family was bullying a little girl like her. Lu Yimin was the one who lost his cool in the beginning. What a joke. If Lu Yichen were to misunderstand, what good would he do? He pointed at Kang Xiaoqiao and shouted, "You're spouting nonsense. Who touched you? You--"

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she raised her chin and said, "I'm spouting nonsense? How am I spouting nonsense? Which of my words aren't the truth? They're all the original words. As for touching me, if you don't come and pull me, would I hit you?"

Lu Yimin's face turned red. "You--"

Before he could finish, his mother pulled him and then shook her head at him.

Lu Yichen looked at him coldly, scaring him so much that he broke out in cold sweat. Ever since he was young, he had been beaten up by Lu Yichen many times. When he thought of this, he felt terrible.

Lu Yichen turned his head and looked around. In the end, his eyes stopped on Lu Wei and he said coldly, "Is what Xiaoqiao said true?"

After Lu Yichen asked, everyone wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. Kang Xiaoqiao's words were indeed true, and most of them were the original words. There was almost no mistake.

Judging from the general meaning of her words, there was indeed nothing wrong. However, the problem was that the tone of her words was different from the environment at that time, so the meaning of her sentence was naturally different.

However, they could not understand it no matter how hard they tried to say it now. This was the art of Chinese. The same words and sentences, under different circumstances, would express completely different meanings.

Even Lu Wei's expression changed from bright to dark. The way he looked at Kang Xiaoqiao changed. To be honest, Kang Xiaoqiao's art of language was a joke.

However, to be able to retell the whole thing from beginning to end, this was also a skill. How many people had said something and forgotten it after finishing it?

Lu Wei looked at the old lady awkwardly. The old lady looked at Lu Yichen with a gloomy face, then looked at Kang Xiaoqiao. Then, she knocked on the floor with her walking stick and said, "What? Do you still think that we wronged her?"

At this moment, the old lady was already very angry, and her tone was also quite bad. If she was usually like this, everyone in the Lu family, from top to bottom, would be afraid and would definitely say that she was right.

However, Lu Yichen was different. His expression was calm as he looked straight at the old lady and said, "Isn't that so?"

Pfft--

The old lady was so angry that she wanted to spit out a liter of old blood. The expressions of the people around her also changed. They had lived in the Lu family for so many years, but they had never encountered such a blatant cover-up.

The Lu family's ancestor was a great general. This was passed down from generation to generation. The sons of the Lu family were all fighting at the front line. The rules of the Lu family were very strict. Even in those turbulent times, they had never changed.

This could be seen from the furnishings of the Lu family. The things they used were all old items and there was nothing new. When they looked at the clothes of these people, they saw that their first uncle and aunt, Zhang Aixia, were all wearing old clothes. Moreover, the colors were very plain. Most of the other people were the same. Even getting hair done back then was punished by the old lady.

The male lead and the female lead were carried out thoroughly in the Lu family. Waiting outside the door was also a common occurrence.

Even the men of the Lu family who doted on their wives were obedient in front of their elders. This was a family that valued filial piety. All the members of the Lu family were like this. As for their wives, they could not escape the ridicule of their mother-in-law. More importantly... This matter of the Lu family was not a secret.

Almost everyone who was familiar with it knew about it, but it was only limited to these familiar people and neighbors. However, thinking about the people who could be neighbors with the Lu family, what kind of family were they?

Therefore, if they were not in the circle, they probably would not be able to find out about this.

Thinking about it, how many of the girls who were about to marry into the Lu family knew about this? Even if they knew, most of them would be known by their parents. However, would people who had the intention of climbing up to the Dragon and Phoenix tell their children about this? Would girls who were at the peak of their vanity or admiration listen to advice?
