Chapter 121 Sending Grandpa and Grandma to Repair the Reservoir

At the same time, the mentality of old lady Luo at home also changed. She always felt that the food she prepared was too little and her grandson would definitely not have enough to eat, so she secretly packed another bag, and the food and meat in the house were almost empty.

Luo Weian didn't know that he was asking for leave from Director Lei.

"Going to the reservoir?"

The mine supervisor looked at him sideways, his face expressionless.

"My two children are sick, and I'm worried. I want to go and see them."

Luo Weian was so timid that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Director Lei looked at him with contempt. Comrade Guo had lived in the farm for a few days and told him a lot about the Luo family. He said that Luo Wanqing's family were all heartless ungrateful people, and these two old guys were not good people either.

Luo Xinxin took care of them with all her heart, but they only cared about their ungrateful descendants. It turned out that they were ungrateful people from the same family. Luo Xinxin was the only good girl in the family.

"Does Xiao Luo know?" asked Director Lei.

"She...she knows."

Luo Weian lied and hung his head even lower with guilt.

Director Lei's eyes became even more mocking, but he didn't ask any more questions and readily approved the leave application. Later he would tell the girl to think more about herself and not to be so foolishly open-hearted, as some relatives were not worth it.

"Thank you, Director."

Luo Weian thanked him repeatedly and left with the leave application.

Luo Xinxin arrived home almost at the same time as him. Smoke was rising from the house. It was Old Mrs. Luo cooking.

It wasn't that she had a change of heart, but she was afraid that Luo Xinxin would find out that there was not much food left, so she started cooking early.

"Hey... Erya, go and see where the sun sets today?"

Luo Xinxin stood at the door with a sarcastic look on her face.

"Sister, it's from the west."

Erya looked up, looked seriously for a few seconds, and then answered.

"I thought the sun had set in the east. Otherwise, why would our old lady suddenly change her ways and take the initiative to cook?"

Luo Xinxin walked to the rice jar while mocking. Old Mrs. Luo's expression tensed, and before she could stop her, the lid was opened.

The container was full of rice yesterday, but now only the bottom is left.

The dried meat hanging on the beam was gone, and Old Mrs. Luo was so smart as to cover it with newspaper, thinking that she wouldn't be able to find it.

"Did a thief break in in broad daylight? There's not a single one left. This thief is even more ruthless than the Japanese. Erya, go get the security department and tell them there's a thief on the farm!"

Luo Xinxin had a cold expression and didn't even look at the old couple.

At first she thought that as long as the old couple didn't do anything naughty, she could feed them well and treat them like two dogs. But now she just felt that she was too stupid.

Dogs are loyal and will die for their masters if given a piece of meat.

These two old guys are ungrateful and can never be tamed. They can't even keep warm even if they have good food and drink every day. They even emptied out everything in the house to support their son and grandson.

If she had been given a little food, she wouldn't have been so heartbroken.

If she didn't have the system and was just an ordinary person, she might have been forced to death by these two old guys long ago.

"No...Xinxin, I put the things away. I'm not a thief."

Old Mrs. Luo was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She was afraid that Erya would really call the security department. She didn't want to go to repair the reservoir.

"Sister, the things are here."

Erya took out two heavy bags from behind the cupboard. When she opened them, she saw that they were full of food.

Luo Weian's eyes darkened and he cursed his wife inwardly for being so stupid and for liking to act on her own.

"Xinxin, your grandma probably put the things away because she's afraid they'll be stolen if left outside."

Luo Weian quickly covered up the lie for his wife.

"Yes... yes, I took it away because I was afraid that thieves would take advantage of it." Old Mrs. Luo agreed dryly.

"I think it's hard to guard against thieves in the house!"

Luo Xinxin didn't bother giving them face. She walked up to Luo Weian, pulled out the leave request from his shirt pocket, glanced at it, and asked, "You're taking a day off tomorrow. Are you going to the reservoir to see your precious grandson? And are you taking these two bags with you?"

Luo Weian was anxious and ashamed. His old face turned purple and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't know what to say.

"You only think about your grandchildren, but never thought about leaving food for the family. Even if I feed a dog, it will be cooked after two months. You are worse than a dog!"

Luo Xinxin cursed very harshly. Luo Weian felt embarrassed and angry. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. He was so angry.

"We went to see what was wrong with our grandsons. Xiaoxing and Xiaokang were sick, and we were worried, so we went to check on them. If there's no food at home, we can just buy more. It's not like we're broke."

Seeing her husband in such an embarrassed and pitiful state, Old Mrs. Luo suddenly plucked up infinite courage and started arguing with Luo Xinxin.

"That's true. Your precious grandson is sick. I understand you're so upset you've lost your appetite and can't sleep at night. But..."

Luo Xinxin changed the subject and said sternly, "Do you think you can buy these things with money? There are many rich people on the farm, who can get so much meat? You use my things to pamper your grandson, you really have no shame!"

"Xinxin, we...are a family!"

Luo Weian's smile was uglier than crying.

"Who are you and your family? I regret now that I didn't sever ties with you two old fools. But it's not too late now. Since you are so reluctant to leave your precious grandchildren, then go to the reservoir and accompany them!"

Before the old couple could react, Luo Xinxin strode out.

"Xinxin, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry. I will teach your grandma a lesson. Come back soon!"

Luo Weian panicked and chased after him to beg for mercy.

The reservoir is so hard to work at, how could he and the old woman bear it?

Moreover, the food at the reservoir is very poor. Every day they eat coarse grains and potatoes, without any oil or water. The leftover soup and rice at home are better than the food there.

"Daya!"

Luo Xinxin cried out.

Daya immediately stopped the man, and no matter how Luo Weian struggled, he could not break free from her grip.

"Xinxin, come back!"

Luo Weian watched Luo Xinxin walk farther and farther away in despair until she disappeared.

"She's just trying to scare us. Ignore her. Let's eat first."

Old Mrs. Luo didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet. She thought Luo Xinxin was just talking. In the eyes of outsiders, they were her real grandparents. If that dead girl didn't care about their life or death, her spine would be broken.

"You...you idiot!"

Luo Weian used all his strength and slapped her hard.

This was the first time he beat his wife after being married for decades.

Old Mrs. Luo was stunned by the slap. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. The burning pain on her face reminded her that the beating was real. Her husband, who had loved her for decades, finally attacked her.

"Luo Weian, you hit me? Are you even human? I didn't abandon you when you were in trouble. I even accompanied you to this damn place to suffer hardships. You, a heartless person, actually hit me. I... I will fight you!"

Old lady Luo hit Luo Weian with her head, and he was pushed back repeatedly. Fortunately, Daya pulled him, otherwise he would have fallen.

"Go ahead and make a fuss, I don't care about you anymore!"

Luo Weian was disheartened. Looking at his wife who had no image and looked like a rural shrew, he felt bitter in his mouth and regretted it deeply.

He really shouldn't have married this stupid woman. His mother was right. He really regretted it.

Unfortunately, the Luo family has been practicing medicine for more than ten generations, but they have not been able to develop a medicine for regret. Now he can only eat the bitter fruit of his own making.

When Director Lei and Luo Xinxin came over, Old Mrs. Luo was sitting on the ground crying, scolding Luo Weian for being heartless and Luo Xinxin for being black-hearted, and complaining about the injustice God had treated her.

Luo Weian stood there expressionlessly, his eyes fixed, as if he had lost his soul.
