Chapter 348 Scheming Against Sister Lu

Seeing Fang Yi's terrible attitude, Sister Lu's face turned cold, and she glanced at Brother Lu, who remained silent.

He said coldly, "Huaixu, are you just going to stand by and watch your wife humiliate our mother like this?"

Brother Lu looked distressed and sighed, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to take care of Mom, it's just that I'm powerless to do so."

"Our family of three just returned from the Northwest, and we haven't even found a place to stay yet. How are we going to take good care of Mom?"

Lu Huailin glanced at his pretentious older brother, a sneer flashing in his eyes: "Brother, four months isn't enough time for you to find a place to stay?"

"Pshaw, you guys must have the wrong target."

"Even if Lu Huaixu agrees to take care of Miaomiao's grandmother, it's useless if I disagree."

Fang Yi glanced at the people in the ward with a sarcastic expression and said coldly.

"Sister-in-law, don't go too far!" Sister Lu shouted at Fang Yi with anger in her eyes.

"So what if I'm being unreasonable? If you're so capable, why don't you take the old lady home?" Fang Yi said defiantly.

Is she crazy or stupid, rushing to clean up after that old hag Lu's mother?

It's not just a day or two; we have to take care of him until he's buried.

Sister Lu staggered from anger at Fang Yi, then turned to face Brother Lu, who was pretending to be dead with his head down.

He demanded, "Brother, tell me, Mom, are you going to do anything about this or not?!"

Brother Lu looked troubled and said, "Big sister, I want to help too, but I'm a grown man, I can't take care of Mom personally!"

After saying that, he kept rubbing his cheeks with both hands, giving people a feeling of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Sister Lu pointed a trembling finger at Brother Lu: "Our mother loves you the most, and this is how you treat her!"

When Lu's mother heard her three children arguing heatedly about where she was going, their faces turned red, and they shouted excitedly.

"To...narrate...the...photograph."

Upon hearing this, Brother Lu glanced impatiently at his mother and said coldly to his sister, "I admit that Mom loves me the most, but so what?"

"All the family's resources went to Huailin; I didn't benefit from it at all."

After saying that, he glanced at Lu Huailin, who was dressed in a military uniform, and gave a cold snort.

Upon hearing this, Lu's mother became even more agitated while lying on the bed, shouting "Ah ah..." with saliva dripping from her mouth.

Seeing this, Sister Lu quickly ran to her mother's side, held her hand tightly, and gently comforted her, "Mom, don't get agitated."

With her cloudy eyes, Lu's mother suddenly stared intently at Lu's eldest sister, and with a crooked mouth, she managed to utter three words: "Juan... help... Xu."

Lu's mother is just paralyzed; she's still sharp-minded and not stupid.

I know that Brother Lu just returned from the Northwest and has no job or house.

There was no one I could count on in Beijing, but now Sister Lu is back.

With the Zheng family's influence in Beijing, arranging a respectable job for Lu Huaixu would be more than enough for her.

Seeing that even in her mother's condition, Sister Lu was still thinking of Brother Lu, tears streamed down her face, falling heavily onto the gray cement floor.

Upon hearing this, Lu Huaixu and Fang Yi exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

Fortunately, before my older sister arrived...

The couple had told Lu's mother in advance that they had sold their jobs in Northwest China.

When Lu's eldest sister didn't reply, Lu's mother stared wide-eyed and shouted, and the other half of her face also showed signs of tilting.

Sister Lu felt heartbroken. She slowly released her mother's hand and wiped her cheek.

Looking up at Brother Lu and Fang Yi, she asked, "Brother, sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?"

Fang Yi had a smile on her face and was about to speak when she was stopped by a look from Brother Lu.

Seeing this, Sister Lu felt a little relieved, realizing that she had been overthinking things.

Given Lu's mother's current state, it's impossible that she conspired with Lu's older brother to scheme against her.

At this moment, Miaomiao, her voice trembling with tears, whispered, "Auntie, Mom and Dad were worried that they wouldn't have enough money for Mom's medical treatment, so they sold their jobs."

"When I came back, the money had been stolen by a thief."

After saying that, she burst into tears.

While crying, she said, "Auntie, my dad didn't mean to not take care of Grandma. He said that if we lost the money, Grandma would starve to death if she stayed with us."

Upon hearing this, Sister Lu looked up at Brother Lu, who was filled with shame, in disbelief: "Is what Miaomiao said true?"

Brother Lu's eyes were filled with tears, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Gu Yihan's eyes as she cautiously whispered in Lu Huailin's ear.

He said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your eldest brother's family has improved their acting skills quite a bit."

Lu Huailin squeezed Gu Yihan's hand and smiled gently at her.

He would pretend not to see it as long as no one plotted against their family.

Given their mother's condition, the three siblings are bound to experience both losses and gains.

With a look of heartache, Sister Lu hugged Miaomiao tightly and whispered, "Miaomiao, don't cry, your aunt is here."

"Waaah... Auntie, are we going to starve?"

"No, Auntie won't let Miaomiao go hungry."

Sister Lu half-squatted down, gently touching Miaomiao's dry hair, looking at the two patches of red sorghum on her dark face.

Compared to her younger brother Hao Hao's smooth, fair, and chubby cheeks, she felt a slight resentment towards Lu's father.

Both are grandchildren

When Miao Miao entered, he didn't even glance at her, but Hao Hao showered her with kisses. Afraid that he would see the siblings arguing, he quickly carried her out.

Thinking of this, Sister Lu stood up and her expression softened considerably when she looked at Brother Lu.

He said softly, "Little brother, I'll go home and talk to your brother-in-law, and ask him to find someone he knows to arrange jobs for you and your wife."

Upon hearing this, Brother Lu and Fang Yi happily said in unison, "Thank you, Sister."

Sister Lu nodded gently, glanced at her mother who was finally quiet on the hospital bed, and whispered, "Then, Mom, over here..."

Fang Yi quickly spoke up, smiling, "Don't worry, big sister. As long as Huai Xu and I have jobs and can earn money, we'll make sure Mom is well taken care of."

Upon hearing this, Sister Lu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, as long as you can take good care of Mom, work won't be a problem."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Huailin, who was cold-faced and taciturn: "Little brother, let's take turns taking care of Mom, each of us staying for four months. Do you agree?"

After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Gu Yihan, who hadn't said a word.

Lu Huailin nodded slightly and said, "Big sister, I have no objection."

Seeing that Gu Yihan did not show any dissatisfaction, Sister Lu nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Yihan glanced up at Sister Lu as she turned around.

He harbored deep resentment and eagerly allowed others to scheme against him.

She naively thought that if she gave Fang Yi a job, Fang Yi would take good care of Lu's mother.

Given Fang Yi's personality, when it's her turn to take care of Lu's mother, wouldn't she resort to beatings and scoldings at the drop of a hat?
