29. Morality vs affection

Lu Jianhua, who was extremely happy, couldn't imagine it at this moment: Hao Jian was sitting in the Lujiatang house waiting for him at this moment. He just felt that this trip to Xiaoxian County was really smooth, and it was really a very, very happy thing. So, while riding his bicycle home, he hummed two lyrics he made up himself: Happy flowers bloom, bloom all over his heart.

However, when he hurried home sweating all the way home, and pushed open the door of his house with a sore back, he was dumbfounded: the three younger brothers, the eldest aunt, and the aunt and son-in-law all came to the house; Hao Jian sat at the table facing south, the floor electric fan was blowing at him, and the hem of his shirt behind him fluttered gracefully and constantly.

The faces, necks, and arms of the others in the room were damp with sweat. However, they put vegetables into Hao Jian's bowl with one chopstick and one chopstick. Lu Jianhua couldn't help frowning and thinking about his thoughts: Hey, he actually came to the house! He is still enjoying the filial piety of the stars and the moon! The action is really fast!

Lu Jianhua was thinking about his thoughts alone, and the people in the house had already seen him. The children said in unison, "Dad, why haven't you come home until now?" After speaking, the children's eyes turned to Hao Jian. Hao Jian saw it: the children all had an expression of diswelcome to him, and they were extremely angry! He couldn't help but churn rapidly in his heart: Oh, how much do these children know about the plan between me and Lu Jianhua?

However, Hao Jian only symbolically glanced at the children, indicating that he saw their anger. However, he quickly turned his eyes to Lu Jianhua, who came over, and said provocatively: Brother Lu, how is your cousin's illness? Why did the Lu family only go to you?

Hearing this, Lu Jianguo hurriedly pretended to be extremely uncomfortable and said: "Oh, I received a call from my cousin's son in the army, but I didn't ask for leave when I arrived in the regiment. Otherwise, I'd be sure to visit my sick cousins. I was unable to go to my cousin's bedside in person to send a greeting and a blessing. What a very, very sad thing!

Lu Jianjian, who was quick-mouthed, glanced at the second brother Lu Jianxin, and quickly sighed and said: Hey, my third brother and I are businessmen who sell chickens in the countryside, and we have received 800 more chickens from the incubator these days, and we plan to wait until the 1,800 chickens are sold, and we will go to the hospital where our cousins are treated. It was a pity for the eldest brother to stand alone in front of my cousin's hospital bed!

Zhu Yu hurriedly pulled her husband to sit down, turned her eyes to Hao Jian and said: Brother Hao, Brother Jianhua has just arrived home, and he must not have eaten yet, so let Brother Jianhua eat first. Zhu Yin hurriedly echoed and said: The eldest brother must be very hungry, Brother Hao has something to say, let's talk about it after dinner.

At this moment, all Lu Jianhua's heart was thinking, "We must not scare the children." So, he said without a red face and a heartbeat: Brother Hao, don't be anxious. I know what you want to hear. When I'm done eating, I'll make sure he will be satisfied and come back! Hao Jian laughed and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll talk about it after dinner."

So, the adults and children in the room finished their lunch in a tense and quiet atmosphere. The children's mood was especially nervous, they were trembling and eating with vegetables, and their childish eyes were aimed at their father and Uncle Hao from time to time. There was a panicked and uneasy look in his eyes!

Such a suffocating atmosphere of tension and silence added a layer of fear to Lu Yao's young heart: Will Uncle Hao still quarrel with his father today? Can aunts and uncles make Dad listen to Mom?

After the meal, Zhu Yu and her sister made a cup of green tea for all the men in the house, and then cut the watermelon in the kitchen and put two pots. A pot was placed on the dining table, and the two greeted the men warmly: Brother Hao, Haifeng, Brother Jianhua, Jianxin, Jianguo, Jianjian, the watermelon that has just been put on the market is fresh. Hurry up and eat!

Then, they beckoned to the children with another pot: Let's go, you all go into the room and eat watermelon. In fact, they both knew: Hao Jian, this bomb, will soon blow up this house and tear it apart everywhere. This home will not be peaceful soon!

But, in any case, the children are definitely the most innocent. Their hearts are definitely the most fragile. They must all be gathered in the room, and the hearts of the children must not be frightened by the adults.

Seeing that the children followed Zhu Yin and Zhu Yu into the room, Hao Jian's eyes were immediately like eagles, shooting out evil and ferocious domineering, and he looked at Lu Jianhua motionlessly and raised his eyebrows and said: Brother Lu, I have some questions about you for a long time, you should solve the mystery for me!

Lu Jianhua stretched out his finger and pointed to the west room and said: Let's not scare the children, let's go to the kitchen and talk about watermelon while eating. Hao Jian stood up and said meaningfully: Okay, okay, I hope my doubts can be solved satisfactorily.

Chen Haifeng was afraid that the more they talked in the hall, the more they would talk, and it would immediately turn into a heated argument. Thinking of this, he stood up and said to Hao Jian: The truth of the matter, Brother Jianhua will definitely tell you. Let's go to the kitchen! As he spoke, he pushed Hao Jian towards the kitchen. Lu Jianhua brought a basin with watermelons, then stood up and walked to the kitchen.

The other three brothers of the Lu family also walked out of the hall after him. Zhu Yin and Zhu Yu instructed the children: Today, no matter what Dad and Uncle Hao say, you all stay in this room. With that, they walked out of the room to the kitchen door, listening carefully to the conversation in the kitchen.

Zhu Yin and Zhu Yu didn't expect that their cautious words had made Lu Yao's heart even more invisiblely afraid of Uncle Hao's arrival today. Seeing her aunt and mother walk out of the room, she dropped her watermelon and sneaked out of the room, and came to the door of the hall and looked at the kitchen from afar.

Hao Jian quickly ate two pieces of watermelon and said the first question: Brother Lu, after reading class yesterday morning, you rushed into Hou Weidong's dormitory for a long time before you came out. Teacher Hou Muyan also led Hou Weidong and Li Yue'e and his wife, knelt down and kowtowed three times to your back. This made me very curious: why did you rush into Hou Weidong's dormitory?

Lu Jianhua was stunned when he heard this: What, Teacher Yan actually led Hou Weidong and Li Yue'e and his wife to kneel down and kowtow to his back? He really can't afford it! Hao Jian saw Lu Jianhua's stunned expression, and said with disdain: Brother Lu, you shouldn't have nothing to say, right?

Hao Jian's disdainful words immediately woke up Lu Jianhua's mind: Oh, how can I be cranky at this moment! Thinking of this, Lu Jianhua blurted out: The school basketball hoop was broken, and I rushed to find a carpenter near the school to repair the basketball hoop. But when I ran outside Hou Weidong's dormitory, I heard Hou Weidong and Li Yue'e arguing, and the quarrel between the two had greatly overshadowed Teacher Yan's dissuasion.

Speaking of this, Lu Jianhua stared at Hao Jian and said undoubtedly: At that time, I thought it was definitely more important to persuade the two to stop quarreling than to find a carpenter to repair the basketball hoop. Therefore, I rushed into Hou Weidong's dormitory desperately and became a "peacemaker". Teacher Yan must have done that to thank me for my kindness!

Lu Jianshe hurriedly took two pieces of watermelon, handed them to Hao Jian and said with a smile: Brother Hao, what Teacher Yan does like that is ordinary and human. Don't be suspicious! Come, come, eat watermelon, eat watermelon.

Hao Jian stretched out his hand to take the watermelon, smiled bitterly and said: Hey, I don't want to be suspicious anymore. However, the fact is that I can't help but be cautious, sensitive and suspicious about some people and things! After speaking, he looked at Lu Jianhua and threw out a second question: Brother Lu, at lunch yesterday, Hou Weidong disappeared without a trace for some reason, and then you said that you went to visit your distant cousin who was seriously ill. This adds another layer of suspicion to me!

Lu Jianshe is the child with the fastest mouth and the fastest turning heart and eyes among the four children of the Lu family. At this moment, he was in a hurry to clear up his eldest brother's defense: Oh, this is definitely not related to each other -- two different things! Brother Hao, how can you force the two of them to be related? Hao Jian sneered and said: Hmph, your eldest brother is in someone's dormitory after reading class in the morning, and he disappears at lunchtime. They must have an unclear relationship!

Lu Jianhua said unhurriedly: Oh, Brother Hao, I finally remembered. Aunt Hou Yan said that she forgot to bring the medicine with her, and Hou Weidong said that she would go home at lunch to get the medicine for her. Well, yes, yes, he just went home and got the medicine. Oops, this really doesn't have anything to do with me. Hao Jian blurted out: Hmph, if Hou Weidong just went home to get medicine, how could he not be able to catch up with class? In my opinion, he is definitely in a hurry to meet you elsewhere and talk about things!

Lu Jianhua turned his head away, stopped looking at Hao Jian, and pretended to be extremely angry and said: Brother Hao, how can you be so suspicious of me. Whether you believe it or not, you can believe it or not! Hao Jian spread his hands and said: Unless, you take me to meet that distant cousin who is seriously ill. Otherwise, my suspicions about you will never disappear or decrease! Brother Lu, I will wait for your reply tomorrow. You'd better think about what exactly you're going to do.

As soon as Hao Jian's words landed, the rest of the three brothers of the Lu family, Chen Haifeng, all screamed in shock. Zhu Yu outside the door "snorted" suddenly, her legs were weak and fell into her sister Yin's arms, and she snorted with tears streaming down her face: It's over, it's over, this family is over. The Lu family is completely finished!

Zhu Yin hurriedly stretched out his hand to support his sister and comforted: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the matter will pass soon. Zhu Yu said incoherently: I, I can't, absolutely can't, can't do without, no Brother Jianhua. Zhu Yin hugged his sister hard, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, put her mouth close to her sister's ear and said: Sister, you put your heart in your stomach. My sister is desperate, and she will never let this matter develop to the worse again!

At this time, Lu Jianhua's words of refusing Hao Jian's prevarication came from the kitchen: "Oh, the weather has been extremely hot recently, so this big man won't bother Brother Hao to work hard! Hao Jian said mockingly: Hmph, I think you don't want to take me to see the truth of the facts at all. You're afraid you'll think I'm a fool!

Lu Jianhua tried hard to persuade: Brother Hao, my cousin's surgery went very, very smoothly, and he could be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate after removing the thread in a week. His condition is actually not too serious, you really don't need to worry so much!

The other three brothers of the Lu family, Chen Haifeng, echoed Lu Jianhua's round: Oh, Brother Hao, you are the future in-laws of the Lu family, and you are heavier than a mountain in the hearts of everyone in the Lu family. Big brother will never make any mistakes! Don't speculate nonsense! Come, let's continue to eat watermelon.

Hao Jian stretched out his hand to push away the watermelon handed over by Lu Jianguo, pointed at Lu Jianhua and said: Unless, you say that Brother Tonglu will do me a favor. Only then can I stop being suspicious! Lu Jianxin asked knowingly: Brother Hao, what do you need my help with? Can the eldest brother help? To be exact: Ever since yesterday when he heard his aunt and brother-in-law Chen Haifeng tell him the truth of the matter, Lu Jianxin has been unwilling and unable to believe that the eldest brother would go against the will of his future in-law Hao Jian and do something that Hao Jian will always hold a grudge against!

At this moment, Lu Jianxin is eager to say: What Hao Jian said is absolutely not as serious as Chen Haifeng said! Hao Jian replied to Lu Jianxin in a strange way: Oh, your eldest brother is the principal of a comprehensive school, if he writes a denunciation material and submits it to the county education bureau, who in the education bureau will not believe him? The teachers of the school, who will not be convinced? As long as your eldest brother is willing to put pen to paper, it will be a great favor for me! The three brothers of the Lu family were extremely shocked: Yesterday, they thought that their aunt and brother-in-law were a bit of a bluff. I didn't expect what I heard from Hao Jian's mouth to be exactly the same as my aunt and brother-in-law!

Lu Jianhua glared at Hao Jian angrily in a blink of an eye, and coldly refused: Hmph, you want me to help you do bad things that have lost your conscience, but there is no door. Hao Jian asked inexplicably: Brother Lu, if you don't look at my face, you have to think about Lu Zhiyi, right? ! Lu Jianhua blurted out: Brother Hao, if you have to threaten me with "children's family affairs". Hao Jian roared angrily: Lu Jianhua, what are you talking about? Say it again!

The other three brothers of the Lu family were so frightened that they hurriedly surrounded Hao Jian, shook their heads and waved their hands to signal Hao Jian not to be angry. Then, the three brothers turned their heads and squeezed their eyebrows at the eldest brother, and persuaded in unison: Big brother, don't say it again, you should hurry up and apologize to Brother Hao!

Who would have thought, but Lu Jianhua didn't pay attention to the feelings of his younger brothers at all, and cold words popped out of his mouth: Build a new, build a country, and build a country, if you don't know the inside story, don't persuade me anymore! People like this can be everywhere!

His words made Hao Jian unable to control the anger in his heart anymore, he pointed to Lu Jianhua and said to the other three brothers of the Lu family: This is your stubborn eldest brother, what I said just now. I've begged him a few times to help me with this. But he has never been willing to help! He does not distinguish between inside and outside, I am really confused!

When the other three brothers of the Lu family heard this, they stomped their feet with frowns and shouted at Lu Jianhua: "Big brother, you must always have Zhu Yu and the children in your mind! Why do you do this? What are you thinking in your heart?

Lu Jianhua's stern eyes fixed on the faces of his younger brothers, and he said affectionately: With my personality, do you think I will do things that "help and abet the abuse"? Doing bad things will make me live forever in heartache and depression! There is a saying that "the Tao is not the same," so don't persuade me anymore, okay?

Hmph, Brother Jianhua has a good sentence "The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory". A man who doesn't care about his wife and children at home is a hypocrite who has no sense of responsibility. At best, he is staining the social scum of the word "man"!

As he spoke, Zhu Yin walked in with Zhu Yu, who was in tears and sobbing non-stop, and stood in front of Lu Jianhua. Zhu Yin's sad and angry voice then continued to float into the ears of everyone in the room: Auntie, the oath you made in front of the elders, you can even abandon it to the clouds. You have disappointed the ancestors of the Lu and Zhu families under Jiuquan too much! After finishing speaking, she angrily raised her hand and shook Lu Jianhua's two ear scrapers.

These two "pops, pops" shocked Lu Jianxin, Lu Jianguo, Lu Jianjian, and Chen Haifeng. Zhu Yin looked at them and said hurriedly: "Brothers, my eldest brother's approach is too much. I hope you don't want to blame us for being rude! Please help my eldest brother out of the kitchen, I want to say something to Hao Jian alone. Let's see if we can solve the contradiction between the Lu and Hao families!

Lu Jianhua touched his sore ears, his eyes looked at Zhu Yu who was leaning on his aunt's arms, and his heart was sour and painful for a while. He secretly repented in his heart: Second aunt, eldest aunt knows that if you do this, you can't live up to you who are kind and loyal. But the word "morality" will always be more important than the word "family" in my heart. I really should have been beaten up! Repenting in his heart, he lowered his head and waited silently to accept: Zhu Yin's beating again.

However, Lu Jianhua no longer felt the pain of being beaten, and his consciousness only clearly felt that someone was pulling him to the kitchen door. The voices of his younger brothers drifted into his ears: "Big brother, let's go to the room and rest." He stubbornly shouted: Don't pull me anymore, let Zhu Yin beat and scold enough.

The younger brothers sighed and pushed him out of the door, and then, the younger brothers reproached with regret and puzzlement: "Oh, big brother, what you did was really unexpected. It's no wonder that sister-in-law Zhu Yu is heartbroken! No wonder your aunt Zhu Yin is angry and beats you!

The reproach of the younger brothers, like a gust of wind, poured into Lu Jianhua's left ear, turned around "whirring", and soon slipped out along Lu Jianhua's right ear. There was not a trace of hesitation! There was no trace of concern! At this moment, Lu Jianhua was silently and mechanically moving his legs. He felt extremely uneasy in his heart: why did Zhu Yin talk to Hao Jian alone, what did she want to say?

Suddenly, his younger brother Lu Jianjian's arm touched his arm, and said in surprise: "Big brother, look at the door of the hall." Lu Jianhua's thoughts were shocked back at this time, and he fixed his eyes on the door of the hall.

I saw the six faces of the children full of panic, tears, and melancholy. The eyes of the eldest son Lu Zhiyi and the second daughter Lu Yao have an extra layer of incomprehension and resentment. When Lu Zhiyi and Lu Yao saw that their father had finally raised his head, they scolded him together: Dad, why are you doing this? Why don't you listen to your mother? He couldn't help but feel another layer of guilt in his heart: Children, Dad doesn't want to do bad things in this life and this life. Dad can't help but be sorry for your mother!
