Chapter 38

Xu Nan couldn't help being a little overwhelmed by this mother Lu's venting of emotions.

She stood in the living room, looking at Mother Lu who was sitting on the sofa and Father Lu who was standing aside for punishment, she involuntarily clenched her apron tightly with her fingers.

It's quite flustered, the elders are quarreling, Lu Nanzhou is still working in the hospital, and he hasn't come back at this point, so how should she deal with it?

Is she going up to persuade?

Or do you not go up to persuade?
It seems that neither of these two methods is a good method.

Xu Nan struggled and began to think. She thought that something happened when Lu's father and Lu's mother went to see Li Cuiqing, so someone as gentle as Lu's mother would be so angry.

But after thinking about it, Li Cuiqing and Lu Jianshe's family's virtues can be figured out without thinking. When Lu's mother was appointed to go, Li Cuiqing was angry with her.

Before she struggled for too long, she heard Lu's mother's tone full of resentment and continued:

"Your mother went too far this time. Let's visit her with good intentions, but in the end, how can we do things like this?"

"She really thinks our family's money comes from the wind?"

"This time when I went to the city to see a doctor, I took a few hundred yuan for my second child's family, but instead of being grateful, they even worsened and wanted more."

Thinking about what Li Cuiqing had just said to herself and the child's father, Lu's mother felt that all these years of hard work were worthless.

Over the years, she married into the Lu family. Although she did not get along with Li Cuiqing superficially, she still had the basic etiquette.

Even if the mother-in-law was partial to the second child's family, she gave gifts during festivals and birthdays. Even if Li Cuiqing didn't like her child, she never said that she would provoke the relationship between the child and grandma.

As soon as she entered the ward, not only did Li Cuiqing not welcome her, but she was even bored.

That expression seemed to say, what are you doing here, it's really bad luck.

Uncharacteristically, Lu Jianshe and his wife welcomed them warmly, moving chairs and pouring tea.

What did you say?

The weasel pays New Year greetings to the chicken, and it is not a good thing to appoint.

Sitting on the chair, her buttocks were still warm, and when she was wondering what kind of medicine the old couple was selling in the gourd, Li Cuiqing spoke.

There was a lot of nonsense at the beginning, but at the end, Mother Lu summed it up in two words.

want money!

In Li Cuiqing's words, it was very hard for the second child's family to take care of her. As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, if they didn't work hard, they would have to pay some money.

Leaving aside the medical expenses, he also asked them for accommodation, food, and Lu Jiabao's school fees for these days.

Not to mention anything else, it is their duty to support the elderly, Mother Lu has no objection.

But what about Lu Jiabao's school expenses?
She is gentle on weekdays, but it doesn't mean she is easy to bully, she has no obligation to support the old family and children.

Moreover, they had been separated for several years. Back then, she didn't even take away any pots and pans from that family, so she had to pay Li Cuiqing alimony every month.

Only their family knows how they got through these years, not to mention that they have three children to raise.

Now Li Cuiqing turned to ask for money from herself?
Do you want a face?

Mother Lu didn't get used to them either, she immediately retorted that she had already paid the second child's family 300 yuan for medical expenses, so the rest of the medical expenses should also be paid by the second family, right?

She won't take the money!
You have to know that your monthly income can be eighty or ninety, and God knows how you can save 300 yuan for medical expenses.

Lu's mother thought she had a clear conscience, but Li Cuiqing was really unforgiving, and kept scolding Lu's father for marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother, regardless of her life or death.

After hearing this, Mother Lu felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.

Father Lu was originally worried about Li Cuiqing's health, but because he thought the doctor was unreliable.

So he came here specially today to inquire about the situation, thinking that if something happened, he could send her to the hospital for treatment.

As a result, Li Cuiqing asked them for money as soon as they entered the house.

Father Lu frowned, and directly rejected Li Cuiqing's request. They can pay for the medical expenses, but the rest are absolutely impossible.

Lu's father opened his mouth to change the subject, so as to avoid embarrassment for everyone, so he asked Li Cuiqing how he feels today?
Li Cuiqing was still angry because he didn't get the money, but when he heard Father Lu's question, he immediately raised his head, looking like a proud little rooster.

"I feel much better today, my chest doesn't hurt anymore, and I feel refreshed."

When Father Lu heard this, his worried heart instantly relaxed, and then he heard Li Cuiqing continue to say:
"Say, it's a good thing I didn't listen to your hospital operation at the beginning, otherwise I'm afraid my life will be ruined now."

"Thanks to the miraculous doctor my second son and second daughter-in-law found for me, otherwise, I don't know what to do now!"

Li Cuiqing looked at Father Lu with disdain while speaking, and the words he spoke seemed to be pierced into Father Lu's heart like a knife:

"It's not like you, an unfilial son, and your son who eats inside and outside, can be great after studying for a few years?"

"It's a shame that he's still a doctor, and he didn't even care about his grandma's life just to make money."

Seeing that Li Cuiqing's words became more and more violent, Father Lu's face was full of storms. Lu Nanzhou was his pride, and he did not allow others to belittle his son like this, even his own mother.

"enough!"

Father Lu's anger had reached its peak, he spoke, trembling with anger, he knew his mother favored his second brother's family, but he never thought it would be so absurd.

...

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 looked up at his wife who was also in anger, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Xu Nanxiang standing aside, still wearing an apron.

Xu Nan stood there, like a primary school student who made a mistake, which made Lu's father couldn't help but chuckle.

Mother Lu came back to her senses amidst the 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 mother, and thought it would be better to ask, after all, it was considered caring:
"Dad, Mom, what's the matter? You two seem very unhappy."

Mother Lu's expression changed when she heard this, but she recovered her smile in an instant. She opened her mouth and said in a flat tone:

"It's okay, I was a little pissed off when I ran into a brainless person when I went out."

Father Lu was sitting there drinking tea, but when he heard his family really say that, he almost choked on a sip of 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 and saw that the canned food she made had been steamed. She smiled and asked Mother Lu:
"I made canned fruit, parents come to eat some?"
