Chapter 166 - 159: Return Defeated_2
What right do you have to say that Aiguo is ungrateful? What kindness has the Chen Family ever shown him? How did the third younger sister’s child die all those years ago? Do you dare to speak the truth in front of everyone? In reality, it’s your Chen Family that owes our Lu Family a life.
Since he was a child, Aiguo never ate even a single grain of rice from your Chen Family. Every time the third younger sister brought him back to her maternal home, wasn’t it always the case that even for a simple meal, they had to bring their own grains and food with them?
You are publicly known as his uncles and aunts. Aren’t you ashamed to eat the meat that your own sister brought, without even giving a piece to your nephew? While you enjoy your white rice, you just place a bowl of wild vegetable porridge in front of your nephew and scold him even for picking up a piece of vegetarian food. Do you really think that just because the child is young, nobody knows what you’ve done?
You had the audacity to drop in every so often to ask for favors when my third younger brother was alive. After he passed, seeing that there was no more advantage to gain from the third branch and fearing it might become a burden, you simply told the third younger sister not to come back home anymore. Am I making this up or unjustly accusing you?"
Uncle Lu unleashed his full presence, completely overwhelming Chen Hesheng and his wife, Zhu Baochai. They tried to interject several times but couldn’t withstand the force of Uncle Lu’s gaze.
It was not until Uncle Lu had finished that Chen Hesheng, his face flushed red, stammered out a rebuttal, "I, my sister’s child died because she was careless by herself, it had nothing to do with us."
This point was something he could never admit. But how come the Lu Family knew the truth when his old mother had agreed with his sister’s story? Pah, it just goes to show that once a daughter is married off, her heart is no longer in her maternal home.
"Whether you admit it or not, so many years have passed, and we, the old Lu Family, didn’t pursue it back then; we certainly won’t bring up old grievances now for this matter. But remember, heaven is watching over us, so as long as you have a clear conscience, that’s enough."
