So powerful
Xu Nan was a little overwhelmed by Mother Lu's outburst of emotions.
She stood in the living room, looking at Mother Lu sitting on the sofa and Father Lu standing aside, her fingers involuntarily clenched her apron.
She was quite panicked. The elders were quarreling. Lu Nanzhou was still working in the hospital and had not returned at this time, so how should she deal with it?
Was she going to persuade him?
Why don't you go up and persuade me?
It seems that these two methods are not good.
Xu Nan struggled and began to think. She thought something must have happened when Father Lu and Mother Lu went to see Li Cuiqing, so someone as gentle as Mother Lu would be so angry.
But then I thought about it, and I didn't need to think about the virtues of Li Cuiqing and Lu Jianshe's family. It was decided that Li Cuiqing was angry with Lu's mother when she went there.
Before she could dwell on it for too long, she heard Lu Yu continue to say with a tone full of displeasure:
"Your mother went too far this time. We kindly went to visit her, but in the end, how could we do this?"
"Does she really think our family's money was brought by the strong wind?"
"This time when I went to the city to see a doctor, I gave my second son and his family several hundred yuan, but instead of being grateful, they actually wanted more."
Mother Lu thought about what Li Cuiqing had just said to herself and her child's father, and she felt more and more that all these years of hard work were not worth it.
Over the years, she married into the Lu family. Although she didn't get along with Li Cuiqing on the surface, she still had basic etiquette.
Even if her mother-in-law is partial to the second child's family, she always gives out gifts and money during holidays and birthdays. Even if Li Cuiqing doesn't like her child, she has never said anything about instigating a relationship between her child and her grandmother.
As soon as she entered the ward, Li Cuiqing's face was not only unwelcoming, but even a little bored.
That expression seemed to say, "What are you doing here? It's so unlucky."
Lu Jianshe and his wife welcomed them uncharacteristically warmly, moving chairs and pouring tea.
What did you say?
The weasel pays New Year greetings to the rooster, indicating that nothing good will happen.
She was sitting on the chair but her buttocks were still hot from sitting on it. Just when she was wondering what kind of medicine the old man and his wife were selling, Li Cuiqing spoke.
There was a lot of nonsense at the beginning, but at the end Mother Lu summarized it in just two words.
Want money!
Li Cuiqing's words probably meant that it was very hard for the second child's family to take care of her. As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, they had to make some money if they didn't have to do any hard work.
Not to mention the medical expenses, we also asked them for accommodation and food expenses for these days, as well as Lu Jiabao's school fees.
Apart from anything else, it is their duty to support the elderly, and Mother Lu has no objection.
But what about Lu Jiabao’s school expenses?
She is usually gentle, but that doesn't mean she is easy to bully. She has no obligation to support the second family and children.
Moreover, they had been separated for several years. At the time, she didn't even take away any pots and pans from that home, and she had to pay monthly alimony to Li Cuiqing.
Only their family knows how they got through these years, not to mention that they still have three children to raise.
Li Cuiqing is now asking for money from herself?
Do you want some face?
Mother Lu didn't tolerate them either. She immediately retorted, obviously she had already given the second child's family 300 yuan in medical expenses, so the rest of the medical expenses should also be paid by the second child's family, right?
She won’t take the money!
You must know that your monthly income is only eighty or ninety yuan. God knows how you can save these three hundred yuan for medical expenses.
Mother Lu thought she had a clear conscience, but Li Cuiqing was really unforgiving and kept scolding Father Lu for marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting about her mother, and not caring about her life or death.
After hearing this, Mother Lu felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly.
Father Lu was originally worried about Li Cuiqing's health, but he felt that the doctor was unreliable.
So he came here specifically to inquire about the situation today, thinking that if something happened, he could send her to the hospital for treatment.
As it turned out, Li Cuiqing asked them for money as soon as she entered the house.
Father Lu frowned and directly rejected Li Cuiqing's request. They could pay for the medical expenses, but the rest was absolutely impossible.
Father Lu wanted to change the topic and avoid embarrassment for everyone, so he asked Li Cuiqing how she felt today.
Li Cuiqing was still angry because she didn't get the money, but when she heard Father Lu ask this question, she immediately raised her head, as arrogant as a arrogant little rooster.
"I feel much better today, my chest no longer hurts, and I feel more energetic."
When Father Lu heard this, his worried heart suddenly relaxed, and then he heard Li Cuiqing continue to say:
"Hey, it's a good thing I didn't listen to your advice about hospitalization and surgery. Otherwise, I'm afraid my life would be over now."
"Thanks to the miracle doctor my second son and second daughter-in-law found for me, otherwise, I still don't know what it would be like!"
As Li Cuiqing spoke, she looked at Father Lu with contempt, and her words seemed to pierce into Father Lu's heart like a knife:
"Isn't it like you, an unfilial son, and your pickpocketing son can become great after just a few years of studying?"
"The one who suffered the loss was that he was a doctor. He even ignored the life and death of his own grandmother just to make money."
Seeing Li Cuiqing's words becoming more and more outrageous, Father Lu's face was filled with anger. Lu Nanzhou was his pride and he would not allow anyone else to belittle his son, even his own mother.
"Enough!"
Father Lu's anger level had reached its peak. When he spoke, his whole body was shaking with anger. He knew that his mother was partial to his second brother and his family, but he didn't expect that it would be so ridiculous.
…
In the living room, Father Lu picked up a teacup from the coffee table and poured himself a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he seemed to feel that his anger had calmed down a little.
He raised his head to look at his wife who was also angry. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xu Nan standing aside as if he was punished, still wearing an apron.
Xu Nan stood there like a primary school student who had made a mistake, which made Father Lu couldn't help but chuckle.
Mother Lu came back to her senses at the sound of laughter. She glared at Father Lu, looked at Xu Nan, and hurriedly pulled her onto her body and sat down.
Xu Nan observed the expressions of Lu's father and Lu's mother, and thought it would be better to ask. After all, it was regarded as concern:
"Dad, Mom, what's going on? I see that you two look very unhappy."
Mother Lu's expression changed after hearing this, but her smile returned in an instant. She spoke and said in a calm tone:
"It's okay, I was a little pissed off when I met a stupid person when I went out."
Father Lu was originally sitting there drinking tea, but when he heard what he really said, he almost choked on his tea.
Mother Lu didn't want to say anything, and Xu Nan didn't continue to ask. She glanced at the time on the wall clock. The canned food she had made was steamed, and she asked Mother Lu with a smile:
"I made some canned fruit. Mom and dad, why don't you come and eat some?"
