Chapter 13 Don't Act Impulsively
"Pooh!"
Shen Cuifen gave a cold snort, her eyes glistening with sarcastic tears.
"If I had known you were this kind of person, I would have preferred to give birth to a piece of barbecued pork rather than to an ungrateful wretch like you!"
She gritted her teeth, practically slamming every word onto the ground.
"From now on, you are no longer my son! If you want to recognize someone as your mother, go ahead and choose. I don't care about your mouth!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly reached out and poked Lu Shuixian, who was standing next to her, without hesitation.
The finger was aimed directly at the other person's nose.
The moment she was pointed at, Lu Shuixian was so frightened that she quickly took several steps back, her face changed drastically, and she retreated repeatedly.
"Here you go!"
Shen Cuifen continued, her tone laced with sarcasm and resentment.
"Go find that wicked woman to be your mother! Anyway, she can marry off her own daughter for dowry money, so she probably won't have any problem helping you find a wife!"
The reason why Lu Xiuwei married into a family whose husband had died was because of this.
This idea was devised by Lu Shuixian herself.
She not only ruined Lu Xiuwei, but now she's preparing to make Shen Cuifen taste the same bitter fruit again.
"Chen Cuifen!"
Lu Shuixian finally lost her temper and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"What right do you have to talk about me like that? Who's the bad woman? Who are you trying to sell? Believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart right now!"
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Her son, Lu Guijin, and nephew have returned.
Suddenly, she felt that someone was backing her up, which made her much bolder, and she became arrogant.
Seeing this, Shen Cuifen was not afraid at all.
Instead, a slight smirk appeared on his lips.
She immediately reached out and grabbed the axe leaning against the door, and walked directly toward Lu Shuixian.
Seeing Shen Cuifen approaching with a face full of anger, Lu Shuixian immediately became nervous.
"What, what, what, what do you want to do?!"
The people around were also quite frightened.
Shen Cuifen, who was always gentle and soft-spoken, seemed like a completely different person at this moment.
"What do I want to do? I'll kill you! You're such a scourge, you not only harmed me, but you even dared to lay a finger on my son!"
Shen Cuifen said through gritted teeth, raising the axe in her hand and slashing fiercely at Lu Shuixian.
Lu Shuixian reacted quickly; with a scream, she immediately took off running.
Shen Cuifen, carrying a heavy axe in one hand, chased after them relentlessly, gritting her teeth.
Her heart was filled with hatred, and she wished she could kill this poisonous woman with a single blow!
The two had already rushed out of the courtyard gate.
The remaining few people inside finally came to their senses.
"My God! That bitch is trying to kill someone! Wei Dong, Fu Quan, what are you two standing there for! Go and stop them! That's my daughter!"
Grandma Zhao was so anxious that she jumped up and down, slapping her thighs hard while sitting on a stool and wailing loudly.
The family finally came to their senses and, in a panic, ran out of the house.
Looking into the distance, they finally spotted the two figures running at the end of the alley.
Shen Cuifen was almost catching up with Lu Shuixian, who was panting heavily.
At this moment, Lu Xiuwei suddenly shouted, "Mom! Don't be impulsive!"
He anxiously called out to his mother's retreating figure.
She looked up at Lu Shuixian, who was fleeing in a disheveled state, sneered, turned around, picked up her axe, and walked straight home.
When Lu Weidong saw her walking towards him, he was so frightened that he stood on his feet.
He froze on the spot, too afraid to move.
Fortunately, Shen Cuifen simply walked past the crowd silently.
This finally allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiuwei quickly ran over and helped her somewhat tired mother up, saying anxiously, "Mom, you just injured your head, please don't get so agitated, it's really bad for your health. Let's talk things over properly in the future!"
After saying that, she carefully took her mother's arm.
Meanwhile, on the other side, they watched as Lu Shuixian slunk away in a panic.
Lu Xiuwei felt an unprecedented sense of joy.
She was happy not only to see her aunt suffer a loss.
Even when she saw Lu Weidong being reprimanded, she couldn't help but smile.
Shen Cuifen took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
But my body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
It was excitement, and also a release of pent-up emotions.
In addition, she was so tired that she could barely stand.
He was indeed injured and needed stitches in his head.
If it weren't for the resentment and intense unwillingness in my heart,
She simply couldn't keep up with Lu Shuixian's pace.
In that instant, almost instinctively, she sprinted towards the alley entrance, gritting her teeth as she chased after him for several blocks.
As soon as she got home, Shen Cuifen seemed to deflate completely, collapsing onto the bed without even taking off her shoes.
The room was quiet, and the windows were closed.
The curtains were drawn slightly, preventing the sunlight from shining in.
She also specifically instructed her daughter, Lu Xiuwei, not to cook today, saying it was to calm the atmosphere at home and let everyone rest.
The mother and daughter lay there quietly.
Neither of them spoke; they simply looked at each other's tired faces and offered silent comfort.
Perhaps she was really too tired, and with her mind relaxed, Shen Cuifen closed her eyes and soon began to breathe.
Meanwhile, Lu Weidong took his two sons back to Old Lady Zhao's room.
I wonder what they're plotting inside the house again.
Whispers filled the room.
The sky gradually darkened.
Smoke began to rise from every household in Daqiao Village, and the aroma of food filled the air.
The sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking rose and fell, while the laughter of children echoed from the alleyway.
Only the Lu family's house was deserted and lifeless.
The house was dark, and there wasn't even a hint of hot food in the yard.
The broom at the entrance of the courtyard leaned against the gatepost.
Some dust was still swirling up in the wind.
"Grandma, eldest brother, second brother, Dad, what are you all doing sitting in the yard?"
Lu Fuhua, who had just returned from school, asked while panting.
He was short and thin, carrying a large schoolbag on his back.
When he ran into the yard, his face was covered in sweat, and his forehead was wet.
Actually, his stomach had been growling several times before school ended.
As soon as he heard the bell ring, he ran back.
He didn't even have time to greet the children he usually played with the most.
But the people in front of him, whether it was Grandma Zhao, or his father and two brothers, all sat listlessly in their chairs, their expressions stiff and their eyes vacant.
Seeing that no one answered, Lu Fuhua felt a little panicked and vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he simply went straight to the kitchen.
"Where's the food! Did you even make dinner? Was it all eaten? Didn't anyone leave me any?!"
He shouted as he lifted the pot lid.
However, when they opened it, there was nothing inside; it was completely empty.
His face fell instantly.
He then threw his schoolbag on the ground and sat down to cry like a child.
The pots and pans sat quietly in the corner, and the stove was deserted, not even a drop of oil had appeared.
"What are you wailing about! You brat, if your mom doesn't cook today, where are you going to get food to feed you, you starving ghost!"
