Lu Antai's focus is on interpersonal relationships, while Ji Yunxiang's focus is on not sending Lu Yiming a penny or a piece of clothing in all these years.

Looking at my son's gray and withered face, I remembered the cowshed where he lived, where he had to bow his head before entering the door, half of his trouser legs were soaked in water, and the black buns harder than stones were served with pickled vegetables with mold spots...

She couldn't even imagine how Lu Yiming had gotten through all these years.

It was all because Lu Antai was so self-righteous when he was a leader that he refused to accept any gifts from his subordinates except for their salary. He even asked them to take gifts back when they visited him during festivals.

As a result, they really had no extra money in these years, which not only made life difficult for themselves, but also for their only son.

Seeing Ji Yunxiang's sad and sorrowful eyes moving between the father and son, Wen Wan knew that she was blaming her husband because she felt sorry for her son.

I originally thought that in the previous century, Yunxiang pushed the responsibility for everything that happened on her because her daughter-in-law was easy to bully.

It turns out that this is her habit, even if the other person is her husband.

After Wen Wan felt better, she finally understood that Lu Yiming's vampire nature of blaming everything on others was actually inherited from his family.

Wen Wan curled her lips and said, "And judging from Aunt Lu's outfit, the clothes should have been bought in an imported mall. Although the shoes are not imported, they don't look cheap. And the one on your neck is a pearl necklace, right?

This whole outfit must cost at least several hundred yuan, if not a thousand!

You look so young, you must have taken care of yourself regularly, and it must have cost you a lot of money!

Why do you always make excuses when it comes to helping your son and daughter-in-law pay back the debt, and even use me as an excuse?

Are all you city folks so heartless?"

Having been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for decades in her previous life, Wen Wan knew her too well. She was aloof and vain. It was not that they could not afford to send some money to Lu Yiming over the years, but Ji Yunxiang loved dressing up too much. Even when working in the countryside, she wanted to be the most dazzling woman on the entire farm.

Even if she was willing to spend money to dress herself up, she couldn't afford the clothes and necklace she was wearing. If Wen Wan guessed correctly, Ji Yunxiang should have borrowed this outfit from her cousin from her aunt's family.

Her cousin married into a good family and had plenty of nice clothes and jewelry. In the previous century, Yunxiang asked Wen Wan to buy her this and that every now and then, just to compete with her cousin.

This is my first visit to my in-laws' house, and I wanted to put myself in a high position, so I borrowed this outfit.

Now that Wen Wan said this, it would be bad for her to admit that it was her fault, but it would be bad to deny it either.

If she admits it, it means she has money but she just doesn't spend it on her son and daughter-in-law. If she denies it, she won't be able to bring herself to do it. If she denies it, what's the point of borrowing this outfit?

Wen Wan just wanted to take advantage of her psychology, which made her face turn red and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

After Wen Wan's two attempts to sow discord, Lu Yiming also had his own ideas.

He was like a rich young master at home, wishing he had a servant to serve him. But since he went to the countryside, he had to do all the dirty and tiring work. No matter how much he worked, he could hardly have enough food and warm clothes, and the living conditions were even worse than those of animals.

His parents, on the other hand, didn't care about their son at all. They even forgot that he would go to the countryside. It was all because of them.

Even though the amount of money owed was a bit embarrassing for Lu Yiming, the way they were trying to make excuses really disappointed him.

Lu Yiming said in an unhappy and cold voice: "Dad, Mom, the things here are between Wen Ya and me, you don't have to worry about it, we will stay and deal with it, you can go back!"

The subtext is, don't worry about me, just let me fend for myself! You don't care about me anyway.

These words accurately grasped the guilt of Lu Antai and Ji Yunxiang, making them reflect and handle the matter for him.

Lu Yiming was a master at using these tactics and this kind of rhetoric. In her previous life, Wen Wan had no idea how many times she had been manipulated by him in this way.

Now Wen Wan put herself in the perspective of a bystander and felt that his behavior was even more childish than that of a kindergarten kid who said, "If you do this again, I won't play with you anymore."

It’s just that in the previous life, because of his emotions being carried away by him, it’s easy for him to lose sight of things, just like Lu Antai and Ji Yunxiang now.

Ji Yunxiang looked at her son's face that looked so distant. She felt as if her heart was being grabbed by someone. She cried in pain and even leaned against Lu Antai, unable to stand.

"Yiming, your parents are sorry for you. You are your only son. How could we ignore you? Don't worry!

My parents will take care of things here, and our family will go back happily to celebrate the New Year, don't worry!"

After hearing this, Wen Ya was the happiest person, thinking that Ji Yunxiang was going to pay the money back and not investigate any more.

However, Wen Ya had been her daughter-in-law for too short a time and had no idea that her mother-in-law, though strong on the outside and strong on the inside, looked rich but was actually very short of money.

In her previous life, the reason why Wen Ya had the illusion that the Lu family was very rich was entirely due to Wen Wan's silent subsidies.

Without Wen Wan's subsidy in this life and with a daughter-in-law who only wants to take advantage of her, Wen Wan suddenly wanted to know how fulfilling their future life would be.

After all, the future will have to be left to the future, and Wen Ya may be disappointed now.

Wen Wan provoked the whole family to lose control of their emotions with just a few words. Lu Antai once again deepened Wen Ya's evaluation of Wen Wan.

Shameless, arrogant, and very scheming.

Lu Antai endured so hard that not only did his back teeth almost break, he also forced himself to swallow a mouthful of blood. He was not just describing it, he really swallowed the fishy-sweet liquid.

He glanced at Wen Wan with disgust and said, "Black is black, white is white, we will know the truth once we investigate.

You've wasted your breath saying so much, just because you're afraid that I'll investigate. Let me tell you, I'm not your sister, and I will never be lenient to a social scum like you."

Social scum.

What a great adjective.

Wen Wan smiled and said, "No, uncle, this is the result of the town's investigation. Xu Keqin has already been sentenced. It's not appropriate for you to ask for a re-investigation now!"

Lu Antai sneered: “What’s inappropriate?”

"You have just been rehabilitated, so I guess you haven't been assigned a job yet! You are a person without any official position, but you are going to the town to ask for a re-investigation, and you are acting like you are a very high-ranking official. I don't think anyone will buy your story!"

"To re-investigate an unjust case, one does not need an official position. Ordinary people also have the right to seek justice."

“What you said is not wrong, but you were a leader before you were sent to labor reform. Now you have come to the town to re-investigate the case. Let your former comrades and colleagues know whether they will help you or not!

If you help, you will make a political mistake. If you don't help, people will say that you have been abandoned. Once you are sent to labor reform, they will throw aside the friendship of comrades and the cause.

You are doing them an injustice!"

To others, these words might give some idea of ​​his status, but only Wen Wan, Lu Antai and Ji Yunxiang knew how ironic these words sounded.

It's not something to worry about in the future when people leave and the tea gets forgotten. It's something that has already happened many years ago.

Lu Antai had already forgotten the word grace at this time, and said viciously: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be dead."

Wen Wan knew that he was not threatening her, but was really going to take action.

In this case, Wen Wan had no choice but to add fuel to the fire, "Whether you can kill me or not is another matter, but what if you are incompetent and no one is willing to help you, and the case cannot be solved after investigating it over and over again.

Then your son and daughter-in-law's scandal will become known to everyone, and maybe even make the front page of the newspaper.

You need to let your old comrades and subordinates know how famous you are now."

Lu Antai couldn't bear it any longer, so he rushed to Wen Wan in two or three steps and slapped her.
