Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Am I Supposed to Suppress My Feelings

Lu Zhenping got a really nice house, it has a separate entrance and courtyard, not to mention its five spacious rooms. It was said that there were two sets of houses available previously; one was a building, and the other was a courtyard. Since someone chose the building first, he had no choice but to reluctantly take the courtyard.

But from what Shen Meng knew about him, that scoundrel must have secretly checked it out and made some moves, or else the other wouldn’t have been able to choose first. Now, he’s indeed a leader.

In the bedroom, there are three sections of a wardrobe, inside which are several dresses and suits that Lu Zhenping bought for Shen Meng. It must be said, he really has an eye for fashion.

Shen Meng also liked them very much. Influenced by Hong Kong, fashion started to become trendy in the late seventies. She went out several times from home just to buy these attractive clothes.

It’s a joke, but this retro style is timeless no matter the era!

Lu Zhengya is at home putting on makeup, with her three children standing behind her, their stomachs growling from hunger.

"If you’re hungry, go to your grandmother’s house to eat. They’ll definitely make you something delicious. Mom has things to do today and no time to cook for you."

Ya Fei pursed his lips before saying, "But, but Aunt is in her confinement period, and if we go there to eat, she will scold people, and uncle will end up arguing with her."

"Humph, she dares! A country woman like her, to be able to marry into the Lu family is the blessing of several lifetimes. She dares to complain? She should look in the mirror and see her own behavior; she’s just a shrew. Just go, your grandparents have your back!"

Ya Fei looked at his pitiful younger siblings, then tentatively asked, "Mom, where are you going? That, Uncle Lu’s wife is a tiger mom, and she changes faces. Their kids are very cunning too. Mom, don’t go find him anymore."

Lu Zhengya gave a sneer, "I, Lu Zhengya, the famously beautiful woman known far and wide, have never met a man who could resist my charm. They’re right, Lu Zhenping is indeed an outstanding person. If he could be my man, I wouldn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of my life, and my children would have a promising future."

"You all don’t worry about it, just go to your grandmother’s house quickly to eat. Mom won’t be coming home early today. After eating, just play there. I’ll come to pick you up when I return."

"Mom, grandmother’s house is also running out of provisions. Don’t we still have Mao tickets? Can we take some there? We already ate one of Auntie’s chickens last time, and that chicken was brought by her family for her confinement. Mom, we’re scared to go."

Lu Zhengya frowned, immediately turning her head to look at the three siblings, Ya Fei and the others.

"You’re learning from those superficial people, always worrying about food and drink. She, as an aunt, should be ashamed of snatching food from the mouths of children, and isn’t afraid of people pointing at her spine. We’re out of money; I bought cold cream, lipstick, hair oil, perfume, and a few new clothes. All these things are prepared for your future, and we can’t spare any of them."

She finished speaking and felt something was off. When she looked up and saw the three siblings looking at her with displeasure, her somewhat guilty conscience flared up with anger.

"What do you mean by looking at mom like that? Where did mom go wrong? Can’t you just sympathize with your mom? Your dad passed away early, you were young, mom had to suppress her own feelings. Now that you’ve grown up, do I still need to suppress my feelings? I am your mother, but I am also a person, and I have my own feelings."

"Mom, don’t keep talking about feelings and feelings. We’re not that old, and mostly it was grandmother, grandfather, and uncle who raised us. What feelings are you suppressing? Those Mao tickets were from dad’s comrades and Uncle Lu’s donations to us. If we manage them carefully, we could definitely make a living. Why do you want to spend them on useless things?"

Lu Zhengya was shocked. She couldn’t understand why her son would talk to her this way. She did everything for her three children; what woman doesn’t want to take good care of her own children? But she is a woman, and she wants someone to rely on too. Why can’t she pursue love? She is a woman!

"Ya Fei, is this how you see your mother? Is this how you talk to the person who gave birth to and raised you? You’ve disappointed mom terribly. It’s just Mao tickets, fine, fine, I’ll give them to you. Take them and go take your siblings to eat, but from now on, you don’t have to worry about what mom does."

After she finished speaking, she turned to check her makeup in the mirror, touched up the lipstick that had smeared at the corner of her mouth, grabbed her bag, and ran outside.

Ya Fei looked at the one yuan Mao ticket in his hand, feeling completely defeated.

Only money, no ticket, thirty thousand noodles aren’t enough, doesn’t mom know?

Lu Zhenping was in his office reviewing case files, several serial murder cases, and the perpetrator still hasn’t been found. These were the most vicious cases of the previous years, and he had been researching and comparing similar cases, which was giving him a headache.

Fortunately, things had quieted down recently, giving him enough time to focus on important matters.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in."

Chen Du pushed the door open and entered, hesitating as he looked at the busy Lu Zhenping.

"What is it? Speak if you have something to say, otherwise leave."

"Deputy Director Lu, that Mr. Lu came again, brought two cans and a box of shortbread, said he knows you’re here and wanted to thank you personally!"

"Thank him for what? Donation? I’ve already thanked him, and besides, I wasn’t leading this, I just responded by donating ten yuan, how can he thank me for that?"

"Ha ha!"

What could Chen Du say? He and some of his colleagues had already realized that Mr. Lu’s intention wasn’t really in the shortbread or cans, but in someone whose heart was as tough as iron, who was already taken.

Honestly, everyone was disgusted. Everyone had excitedly donated money before, thinking of the martyrs’ widowed daughters who hadn’t remarried for years, solely dedicated to raising their children, a spirit truly admirable.

Money had just been given, and then their Deputy Director gets blackmailed—Where does one even go to discuss such absurdity!!!

"Deputy Director Lu, do you want to go out and see her?"

"No, can’t she see I’m busy? What is this, bringing things, the money I donated wouldn’t even cover what she’s selling, how is this living? She’s burning through money, I think she just isn’t lacking food and drink, it’s like our donation meant nothing."

Chen Du thought to himself, exactly, a toad lusting after swan’s flesh, just disgusting.

"Then Deputy Director Lu, you keep busy, I’ll go handle her. Hey, I heard she caused a scene with your sister-in-law and the kids too, how shameless can this person be."

Lu Zhenping didn’t say a word, he initially thought Shen Meng’s actions yesterday were a blow to the enemy. Surprisingly, this person still managed to make a comeback.
