Is it related to Lu Chen
After hearing this, not only Meng Yinyin, but even Meng Xuan became serious. Then they both pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what Wang Chengwu had to say.
Seeing this, Wang Chengwu stopped wasting time and quickly told Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan some details he had found out during this period.
Actually, this matter is somewhat related to Meng Yinyin. After all, if he had not taken the opportunity to go back to her parents' home with his eldest sister-in-law Lu Xiujuan to see Meng Yinyin last time, he probably would not have discovered the strangeness of the Lu family.
The strangest thing about the Lu family is that their ancestors were poor farmers for three generations, but they suddenly had enough money to build a grand courtyard.
That time he asked Lu Xiujuan a casual question, but got a flickering look in her eyes and a guilty reaction. Wang Chengwu realized that the truth of this matter might not be simple.
In order to prevent Lu Xiujuan's family affairs from affecting his own family, Wang Chengwu tried his best to investigate the truth of the matter for a period of time.
Unexpectedly, after a period of hard work, he actually found some clues, and these clues were personally pried out from his sister-in-law Lu Xiujuan.
After Lu Xiujuan married into their family, perhaps because of her personality, she was extremely cautious towards the Wang family, as if she was afraid that she would be scolded or disliked if she did something wrong.
But in fact, the Wang family members have good personalities. Although Wang's mother, Ms. Zhao Shufen, would occasionally nag a few words, she would just say them casually and would not take them to heart.
But Lu Xiujuan was too sensitive and had low self-esteem. She couldn't stand hearing even one word that didn't go her way. She would cry and feel upset, and make a face as if she was being bullied.
It was okay once or twice, and everyone could still persuade and comfort her, but when it happened too many times, they all felt that they were not suitable for each other, and continuing to live together became a problem.
Therefore, the old couple of the Wang family have been thinking about whether they should clean up the other house and let the eldest son and Lu Xiujuan move out. In this way, both parties can avoid some friction caused by personality differences.
However, this would be a bit unfair to the second son. After all, they have two sons, but unfortunately there is only one extra house. Logically, they should rely on the eldest son for retirement. Now this big house is more suitable for the eldest couple to live in. When the second son gets married, they can live in the smaller house.
But the current situation does have some things that are beyond everyone's expectations.
Finally, the old couple thought about it and realized that the second son had not found a suitable partner for a long time. He finally met someone who was willing to get in touch with him, but the other person rejected him. Who knows how long he will have to wait for him to get married.
So they thought that maybe they could let the eldest son and his wife move out first, and deal with the second son's affairs after he gets married. At least they could solve the current troubles first.
So the old couple decided to talk to their two sons first to see if they were willing. If they had no objection, they would implement this method first.
Both sons of the Wang family were obedient and filial, and the relationship between the two brothers had always been very good, so they agreed to their parents' proposal without any hesitation or complaints.
But what they didn't expect was that although they had discussed it and the two brothers had made a decision, problems arose with Lu Xiujuan.
When Wang Chengwen, the eldest son of the Wang family, went to tell Lu Xiujuan what his parents had agreed to, Lu Xiujuan was horrified and panicked at first. She couldn't help wondering if she had done something wrong and was disliked by her parents-in-law, so they asked her and Wang Chengwen to move out.
She was so panicked!
But after the panic, a wave of anger and unwillingness quickly surged up.
She had seen the Wang family's other house, which was a small one-bedroom and one-living room. In fact, such a house was just right for the two of them, and it was even quite spacious. However, no matter how good that house was, it could not compare with the current large three-bedroom house.
Moreover, Wang Chengming is obviously the eldest brother, and he should inherit the big house. But now the couple are forced by Wang's parents to live in the small house. Is this fair? This is totally unfair!
When she thought of this, Lu Xiujuan got angry. She was angry that Wang's parents were partial to their youngest son. Maybe it was because they were partial to their youngest son that they treated her badly and criticized her in various ways!
Lu Xiujuan had a narrow mind and a sensitive and suspicious personality. This incident seemed to confirm her guess.
So that night, a burst of crying broke out in the eldest brother Wang Chengwen's house, and while crying, they seemed to be shouting words like "biased", "bullying", "hate me", etc.
The faces of Wang's parents and Wang Chengwu in other rooms all turned grim.
The next day, Wang Chengwen, with embarrassment and fatigue on his face, told Wang's parents and Wang Chengwu what happened last night. Wang's parents were the elders and they were also kind people. Since Lu Xiujuan was so reluctant to move out, they couldn't say anything more.
After all, if Lu Xiujuan and her eldest son had to be forced to move out, that wouldn't be a good idea.
At worst, they can just bear with it, since this is the daughter-in-law they married themselves.
Just as they were about to continue to endure it, Wang Chengwu spoke with a firm attitude.
"Let's think of a way to deal with this. If it doesn't work, I'll go talk to my sister-in-law about it."
Unlike his parents and older brother, he is not as gentle as they come. He will not endure or suffer just to consider the feelings of others. His attitude is tougher and he is more able to keep a straight face.
His parents and eldest brother were used to Wang Chengwu's tough attitude at times like this, so they agreed to let Wang Chengwu and Lu Xiujuan talk about the matter.
When Wang Chengwu called Lu Xiujuan out to discuss moving out, she was confused. She thought that after crying so hard the night before, the matter would be over according to the temperament of her husband and in-laws.
Who knows, they are having an easier time, but this brother-in-law is not someone who will easily get soft-hearted.
Especially after spending some time together, Lu Xiujuan herself discovered that the person with the most say in the family is actually Wang Chengwu. He is not only smart, but also extremely determined, and in her opinion, he is also the most difficult to get along with.
Lu Xiujuan was very nervous when facing him and wanted to continue crying, but Wang Chengwu did not give her a chance and directly asked Lu Xiujuan what she was dissatisfied with about the house.
Lu Xiujuan didn't dare to tell the truth. She said that she felt her in-laws were partial to her and didn't like her, so they kicked her out.
But facing Wang Chengwu's expression of not giving up until she got an answer, she could only rack her brains and planned to say that she was reluctant to be separated from everyone and wanted to continue living together and taking care of everyone.
But before she could say it, Wang Chengwu asked her: "Sister-in-law, you don't mind that the house is small, do you? To be honest, it seems that our family's conditions are indeed not as good as yours in the countryside. Your house is big and spacious. It's normal for you to mind that the house is small. It's a pity that our family only has such conditions. If you really dislike it, I'm afraid you can only find someone else..."
Before Wang Chengwu could finish his words, Lu Xiujuan interrupted him with a pale face. She couldn't understand the meaning of Wang Chengwu's words, which was that if she disliked the house, she might as well divorce and find someone with a bigger house.
This means that Wang Chengwen wants to divorce her. How could she agree to this
In a state of nervousness and panic, Lu Xiujuan could no longer hold back her emotions, and hurriedly explained that she did not mean that, and did not mean to dislike the small size of the house.
But Wang Chengwu still looked unconvinced.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that you grew up in a big house since you were very young. Your house is so magnificent. If you dislike ours, we can understand..."
"No! Our family was also very poor before! That house was built later. I didn't grow up living in a big house!"
As if she was afraid that Wang Chengwu had really misunderstood, Lu Xiujuan quickly opened her mouth to explain the matter clearly.
Wang Chengwu's eyes flashed, and he asked calmly.
"Sister-in-law, your family was able to build such a big yard. It can be seen that the conditions must be very good. The house must cost thousands of yuan. Unlike us, although we look like workers and have bright and beautiful appearances, in fact..."
At this time, Lu Xiujuan was so shocked by the huge panic that she could not control her thoughts and emotions. She no longer remembered that she could not casually reveal her family secrets.
Besides, she had actually been instilled with some truths by Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua, such as "a daughter who is married off is like water spilled" and "once you get married, you belong to someone else's family".
So strictly speaking, she felt that after marriage, she would be one family with her husband's family, and her natal family would have to take a back seat.
Therefore, she finally told Wang Chengwu directly how the money for renovating her house came from.
"My family is very poor, really very poor. The reason we were able to afford that house was actually because of my second uncle..."
"Your second uncle lent you money?"
"No... my parents used my second uncle's pension..."
Lu Xiujuan's words shocked Wang Chengwu!
But he did not show it. Instead, he calmly changed the subject and said that he would discuss the matter of living together with his parents. Then he did not say anything to Lu Xiujuan for the time being.
After all, after learning this secret, Wang Chengwu had no time to think about other issues.
Besides being shocked, he was also more panicked.
He was not stupid. Just from the attitude of Lu Dashan and his wife towards Lu Chen that he had seen last time, as well as the huge disparity between the two families, he could tell how badly Lu Dashan and his wife treated Lu Chen.
But Lu Chen is the son of Lu Xiujuan's second uncle, and his only son, so he should be the heir to the pension.
As a result, his father's pension was actually used by Lu Xiujuan's parents. This is not only a moral mistake, but also illegal!
Now Wang Chengwu is even more certain that Lu Xiujuan's appropriation of Lu Chen's father's pension will affect their family. He has been in a complicated mood these past two days. He appeared on the street during working hours today because he had made up his mind and planned to confess the matter to Lu Chen.
Although he cares about his parents very much, the best way is to pretend that he doesn't know about this matter and not tell anyone, so that he won't be implicated.
But once this matter gets to know about it, they will still be implicated!
What's more, now that he knew the secret, he would feel guilty if he didn't confess it to Lu Chen, the victim.
That's why he planned to ask for leave and go to the Nanjiao Brigade to tell Lu Chen about it.
However, before he arrived at the Nanjiao Brigade, he ran into Meng Yinyin, and then decided to reveal this to her first and let Meng Yinyin tell Lu Chen about it.
Because he really didn't know how to face Lu Chen.
After all, Lu Xiujuan is now the daughter-in-law of their Wang family. I guess Lu Chen would be unhappy to see him.
After hearing this, Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan had completely different reactions.
Meng Yinyin's face was filled with shock. She had never expected that Lu Dashan's house would be acquired in this way.
How could they do this? It's so shameless and too much!
Meng Xuan, on the other hand, had an expression of "as expected", and also a bit of pleasure.
After all, it seems that now there is one more clue and evidence, right
"Comrade Wang Chengwu, right? Okay, we will tell Lu Chen about this matter when we return, but I still have to remind you that Lu Dashan's behavior is illegal and criminal. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
Although Lu Dashan didn't have a close relationship with them, there was still Lu Xiujuan. Who knew if she would let them go home and do something in the future
For example, ask them to help find connections.
Wang Chengwu was a smart man. He immediately understood what Meng Xuan meant. Hearing this, he immediately said sternly, "Comrade Meng Xuan, please rest assured. We, the Wang family, are all law-abiding citizens. We will never commit crimes, confuse right and wrong, or help the tyrants to commit atrocities!"
Meng Xuan was very satisfied with his reaction. He smiled and continued speaking.
"Okay, on behalf of the organization, I would like to thank you first, but there is one more thing I may need your help with."
