I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s

Lu Zhenping, troubled by heavy thoughts, walked toward the old courtyard and along the way encountered Sun Shanzi, who had always been on good terms with Lu Jiaxuan. The commotion that erupted at Lu Family’s home at noon had already spread wildly throughout Lu Family Village. Some believed Lu Zhenping was right; how could a father-in-law raise a hand to his daughter-in-law? It was absurd.

Others thought when Lu Zhenping returned, he immediately showed a stern face to his own parents—it was downright unfilial. Could a daughter-in-law even compare to one’s parents? In the countryside, countless women were beaten by their in-laws; without a beating, they wouldn’t behave. Frequent beatings would make them obedient. Shen Meng went to the county, bought a bicycle, and even managed to get a job at the brick factory. If there weren’t something fishy about it, who would believe it?

Previously, Sun Shanzi greatly admired Lu Zhenping, but today, he walked past him without a word, seething with anger. He was furious that Lu Zhenping, for the sake of that woman Shen Meng, had put Jiaojiao, his sister-in-law, in such an embarrassing position in front of so many people. How could his heart be so harsh?

Lu Zhenping did not even remember what dish Sun Shanzi was; he did not glance sideways but went straight to the Lu Family home.

Watching his back, Sun Shanzi snorted coldly: "A man bewitched will surely face retribution sooner or later."

Liu Sanjin was lying on the kang, her body trembling. Alongside her, Lu Changzhu was smoking his pipe, his gaze distant as he looked outside.

"Did he really ask you that?"

"What else could it be? He asked about the Duanwu Festival the year Shuyu returned. What should we do? Old man, do you think he knows?"
