Chapter 38: Desper
Xu Lan was overwhelmed by this Lu Mu's emotional venting.
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.
It's quite panicked, this elder is quarreling, Lu Nanzhou is still working in the hospital, and she hasn't come back yet, so what should she do?
Did she go up and persuade her?
Or don't you go up and persuade you?
It seems that neither of these is a good approach.
Xu Mu was entangled and began to think, she thought to herself that it was estimated that what happened when Lu's father and Lu's mother went to see Li Cuiqing, so that such a gentle person as Lu's mother would be so angry.
But after thinking about it, the virtue of Li Cuiqing and Lu Jianjian's family can be figured out without brains, and it is designated that Li Cuiqing was angry with her when Lu's mother went.
didn't wait for her to be entangled for too long, but she heard Lu Mu's tone full of anger and continued:
"Your mother is too much this time, let's be kind enough to visit her, but in the end, how can you do such a thing?"
"She really thinks that our family's money is blowing in the wind?"
"This time I went to the city to see a doctor, I took a few hundred yuan for the second family, but instead of appreciating it, they wanted more."
Lu's mother thought about what Li Cuiqing had just said to herself and her child's father, and the more she felt that all these years of hard work were not worth it.
Over the years, she married into the Lu family, although she didn't deal with Li Cuiqing on the surface, she still had basic etiquette.
Even if her mother-in-law is partial to the second family, she celebrates her birthday on New Year's Day, and she gives gifts and money, even if Li Cuiqing doesn't like her own children, she has never said that she will provoke the relationship between the child and her grandmother.
As soon as she entered the ward, Li Cuiqing's face not only did not welcome her, but she was even a little bored.
That expression seemed to say, what are you doing here, it's really unlucky.
Lu Jianshe and his family uncharacteristically welcomed them warmly, and moved chairs and poured tea.
What does that mean?
The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, specifying that nothing good happened.
She sat on the chair and her buttocks were not yet hot, and when she was just wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the two of them, Li Cuiqing spoke.
There was a lot of nonsense at the beginning, and in the end, Lu Mu summed it up, just two words.
Ask for money!
In Li Cuiqing's words, it is probably that the second family takes care of her very hard, and they, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, don't work hard, so they have to have some money.
Not to mention the medical expenses, I also asked them for the accommodation fee, food expenses, and Lu Jiabao's tuition fees for these days.
Not to mention anything else, it is their obligation to support the elderly, and Lu's mother has no opinion.
But what is the situation of Lu Jiabao's school expenses?
She is gentle on weekdays, but it doesn't mean that she is easy to bully, and she is not obliged to support the second family and children.
And they have been separated for several years, and she didn't even take a pot and pan away from that house at the beginning, and she had to give Li Cuiqing alimony every month.
Only their family knows how they have lived these years, not to mention that they still have three children to raise at home.
Li Cuiqing is now looking for money from herself?
Point face no?
Lu's mother was not used to them, she immediately retorted, obviously she had already given the second family 300 yuan in medical expenses, and the rest of the medical expenses should also be paid by the second family, right?
She doesn't take this money!
If you know that your monthly income can be eighty or ninety, these three hundred yuan of medical expenses, God knows how to save money and make it thrifty.
Lu's mother thinks she has a clear conscience, but Li Cuiqing is really unforgiving, and she keeps scolding Lu's father for marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother, regardless of whether she lives or dies.
When Lu Mu heard this, she only felt as disgusted as eating a fly.
Father Lu was originally worried about Li Cuiqing's body, but in one case, he felt that this doctor was unreliable.
So he came here 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 he entered the house.
Father Lu frowned, and directly refused Li Cuiqing's request, they could pay for the medical expenses, but the rest was absolutely impossible.
Father Lu opened his mouth to divert the topic and avoid everyone's embarrassment, so he asked Li Cuiqing how she felt about her body today?
Li Cuiqing was still angry because she didn't ask for the money, but when she heard Father Lu ask, she instantly raised her head, like an arrogant little rooster.
"I feel much better today, my chest doesn't hurt anymore, and I'm in good spirits."
When Father Lu heard this, his heart, which was still worried, was instantly relieved, and then he heard Li Cuiqing continue to say:
"Well, it's a shame that I didn't listen to your hospitalization and surgery at the beginning, otherwise I'm afraid my life would be over now."
"Thanks to the miracle doctor that my second son and second daughter-in-law found for me, otherwise, I don't know what it would be like now!"
Li Cuiqing looked at Father Lu with disdain on her face as she spoke, and her words seemed to pierce Father Lu's heart like a knife:
"It's not like you, an unfilial son, and your son who eats inside and out, and after a few years of studying, it's amazing?"
"He is still a doctor, and he even doesn't care about his grandmother's life or death in order to make money."
Seeing that Li Cuiqing's words were getting more and more noisy, Lu's father's face was about to come to the storm, Lu Nanzhou was his pride, he didn't allow others to belittle his son so much, even if it was his own mother.
"Enough!"
Father Lu's anger value has reached its peak, he spoke, trembling with anger, he knew that his mother was partial to the second brother's family, but he didn't expect it to be ridiculous to this point.
…
In the living room, Father Lu picked up a teacup from the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea, and 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 was about to speak, when he saw Xu Yan standing aside as if he was being punished, with an apron still tied on his body.
Xu Lan stood there, like a primary school student who had made a mistake, which made Father Lu laugh.
Mother Lu came back to her senses in this laughter, she glared at Father Lu, looked at Xu Mu, and hurriedly pulled her to herself and sat down.
Xu Lan observed the expression of Lu's father and mother, thinking that it was better to ask, after all, it was also a concern:
"Mom, Dad, what's going on? I think you two are very unhappy. ”
Lu Mu's expression changed when she heard this, but she regained her smile in an instant, she spoke, and said in a light tone:
"It's okay, I was a little angry when I went out and ran into a brain-dead."
Father Lu was originally sitting there drinking tea, but when he heard his family really say this, he almost choked on a sip of tea.
Mother Lu didn't want to say, Xu Lan didn't continue to ask, she glanced at the time on the wall clock, the canned food she made was steamed, she asked Mother Lu with a smile:
"I made canned fruit, Mom and Dad come and eat some?"
