197 Family Farce
Lu Xiaorou came to her former home accompanied by Su Mo.
It was also the home that originally belonged to Yili in the previous life.
This house is now crowded with people inside and outside the house, most of them are people Lu Xiaorou doesn't know, and the barking of the rabid dog can be heard in the distance.
However, the closer she got to this place, the slower Lu Xiaorou's footsteps became. Sensing this, Su Mo also held her hand tightly.
Su Mo pulled Xiao Rou into the gate of the house, in the middle of the house, several adults were helping to lay the mourning hall, and in the middle hung the last photo of Xiao Rou's grandfather. After seeing this scene, Lu Xiaorou's already swollen eyes were filled with tears again.
However, Su Mo and Lu Xiaorou, who came over today, were more like uninvited guests in the eyes of some people in the courtyard.
Especially Lu Xiaorou's second aunt.
She wiped her dry eyes with toilet paper, and stepped forward to question Lu Xiaorou menacingly, "You...... What are you doing now? Isn't it enough to eat and drink in our house for so many years? Do you want to pretend to be pitiful and let us take you in? Such a big man, what the hell are you-"
"Auntie, please be respectful when you speak."
Su Mo didn't give the "second aunt" a chance to output continuously, and his tone was extremely angry.
He was genuinely angry.
"Xiaorou also found out about that incident today, you put the blame on her, is this what an adult should do?"
"Are you...... That's what Su Mo, right? Who the hell is this girl? Why are you protecting her? This is our family's family matter, and it's not your turn to worry about it! ”
"You want to say it's a family matter, but do you treat Xiaorou as a family member?!"
Su Mo deliberately shouted loudly, he knew that it was useless to entangle with Aunt Xiaorou, and he had to call someone who could be reasonable.
"What are you guys doing at the door?" Xiaorou's second uncle hurriedly came, glanced at Lu Xiaorou, and then glanced at Su Mo who appeared, and immediately understood the purpose of their trip, "Relatives and friends are watching here, let's go upstairs and talk about something." ”
Xiaorou's grandfather has a total of two sons and two daughters, not to mention the early death of the eldest son, Xiaorou's identity as told by her grandfather has always been the daughter of this eldest son; The other immediate family members were Xiao Rou's second uncle and aunt, and there were also aunts and aunts present, as for the cousin Su Mo was familiar with, that is, Xiao Rou's sister-in-law, who was still on the way by car.
"Su Mo, Xiao Rou's situation is indeed a bit complicated, maybe Xiao Rou has already told you, but I'll explain it again......" Xiao Rou's uncle explained the ins and outs of the whole incident to Su Mo.
At first, they thought that Xiao Rou was the illegitimate daughter of his father and his previous nanny, because this was what his father told all the family members before he fell into a coma.
Later, they found out by sorting through their grandfather's belongings that Xiaorou's birth certificate was written with another man's name, and the second aunt felt that something was suspicious, so when she visited Xiaorou later, she took her hair as a sample and went for a paternity test.
"It turns out that Lu Xiaorou has no blood relationship with our old man at all, and after we think about it, in fact, the nanny was abandoned, so she threw the child in our house, causing our old man to suffer, maybe he was fooled by the little nanny, and he helped others raise the child so ......"
The more the second aunt talked, the more angry she became, as if she wanted to eat Lu Xiaorou alive on the spot - since Xiaorou's existence was exposed, there have always been outsiders pointing fingers at their family, and the second aunt couldn't quarrel with the surrounding three aunts and six women, of course she was angry.
"I'm sorry, second aunt...... I only found out about it today...... It's true...... I'm sorry......" Lu Xiaorou had nothing to argue, just apologized vigorously.
"Don't call me Second Aunt! You just found out today? You really have the face to say it! You have lived in this house for several years, and the old man usually asks you to hide outside whenever there is a situation, and you don't have a number in your heart? Otherwise, do you really think you're the eldest brother's daughter? In my opinion, you are completely virtuous with your mother, who is not responsible, and they are both ......."
Su Mo came alone with Xiaorou in such a big family, and it happened suddenly, almost without any preparation, almost just came to send him to be beaten.
But Su Mo knew what Xiao Rou wanted, and Su Mo also promised to share the pain for Xiao Rou.
There is no point in arguing and spilling meaninglessly.
Su Mo's way of dealing with it was to let Xiao Rou, who had lowered her head, plug her ears, until the second aunt's indiscriminate scolding was too ugly, and even some other relatives began to get impatient, Xiao Rou's eldest uncle couldn't help but stop it.
"Alright...... Sister-in-law Lan, you don't have to say a word. ”
"Huh? You told me to say less? Our family has done the most to take care of this little white-eyed wolf, how much money did you give? 300 living expenses a month? What about sending Hanako? ”
"How do you speak? You occupy the old man's house, do we have something to say? Occupy and don't contribute, how can there be such a good thing......"
"The old man's house was originally inherited by us, how can you have a share?"
"The old man didn't say that kind of thing when he was alive, he said that the family would be divided equally!"
"Deuce? How to divide it? I'm not going to sell this house, but if you want to live in it, you can give you the room in front of that girl......"
family strife.
It plays out in life day in and day out.
Even if it's just a pot of property division, the two families can probably discuss how to saw.
Su Mo couldn't help but sigh, it was really the right choice to let Xiaorou live in the school at that time.
"Brother Su Mo......"
"Why don't you forget it...... I can ...... it alone."
Xiao Rou gently tugged at the corner of Su Mo's clothes. It didn't matter if she was humiliated, but she really couldn't bear to see Su Mo with her.
"Didn't you say it, this is what I owe you, Lu Xiaorou."
Su Mo whispered in Lu Xiaorou's ear, then raised his head again, cleared his throat and coughed, "Quiet and quiet...... I hope you will be quiet. ”
"I also know these things when I brought Xiaorou here this time...... Xiao Rou didn't mean anything else when she came over now. No matter what you say, it doesn't matter if we are Xiaorou or not...... She is indeed not grandgranddaughter of her grandfather, but she was also brought up by the old man himself, and she has a lot of affection for her grandfather. Here is the hope that the elders can look at the face of the deceased old man, so that Xiaorou can also participate in her grandfather's funeral, this is her only appeal. ”
Lu Xiaorou took Su Mo's words, pursed her lips and bowed to a few "relatives" and said, "Please...... Please, everyone. I just want to do something for my grandfather one last time...... It's true...... Nothing else......"
Her tone is extremely sincere, and her weak voice has some crying, anyone who sees it will have some pity, Xiao Rou's second uncle also nodded, "Of course this is no problem, I also believe that Xiao Rou has this heart, and she will often visit the old man on holidays." ”
"Hmph...... Who knows if it will be pretending to be pitiful again, in short, don't think about our family giving outsiders a son in the future. My husband used to find a place to borrow for Xiaorou before, and he was busy running up and down and breaking his legs, not for the sake of his family-"
"Well, I won't trouble my second aunt's family again in the future."
Lu Xiaorou nodded vigorously and said, "In addition, the second uncle worked hard for the school before, as well as every living expenses and things you sent me, I have a good account." ”
Lu Xiaorou's words were not improvised, Su Mo had indeed seen her small account book, because it also recorded the money and gifts that Su Mo gave her.
"Although I am not related to you by blood, my grandfather really raised me as his own granddaughter. So...... So, anyway...... I still treat everyone as family. Wait, when I grow up, find a job and earn money, I will definitely repay everyone......"
Lu Xiaorou said all the truth, her sincerity contrasted the meanness of the second aunt, and the second uncle seemed quite touched, he immediately spoke, "If you don't plan to rely on us, then the living expenses and the later college fees, what are you going to do-"
"Second Uncle...... I'll call you uncle. You don't have to worry about this, I'll be responsible for Xiaorou's side, I've already told her about this. ”
Lu Xiaorou also nodded lightly, expressing her agreement with Su Mo's words.
If that's the case, then everyone else can accept it......
As long as there is no need to pay, several relatives except for the second aunt seem to suddenly become intimate again, and begin to ask about Xiaorou's situation, reminding Xiaorou that she still has to tell them if she has any difficulties, full of family-like care.
Su Mo was waiting outside for Xiao Rou to finish speaking, and then Xiao Rou's second uncle walked over to Su Mo, and after a few words of greeting, he suddenly took out a wad of banknotes from his bag and stuffed them into Su Mo's hand.
Of course, Su Mo didn't answer at first, he didn't want to have anything to do with the second aunt and the crazy woman anymore, and if the conversation continued, he could only wish the other party that he would not be hit by a car and die when he went out tomorrow.
Of course, this is for the second aunt, and the second uncle, Su Mo, still thinks it's very good.
So Su Mo waved his hand and said:
"No need, second uncle, I can afford ...... from Xiaorou's side"
His character is originally a rich person's design, and he is really not rare for this money.
However, the second uncle gave it very resolutely.
"Just let me find solace for myself, and you can continue."
"After all...... In the past few years before our old man left, Xiaorou had been with him. ”
The second uncle's eyes were full of red bloodshots.
Su Mo, who took the money, also thought that just before this family farce, this man had just lost his father.
The rest of the adults don't seem to care about it anymore.
