Chapter 127 Anxious and Distant
"She's my own daughter, born with my blood! Don't even think about touching her, not a single hair on your Lu family's head is allowed!"
She paused, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
"Can't live without my brother? Is your brother a golden egg or a man with gold trim? What are you bragging about? He's a lazy bum and drunkard who can't work ten days a year. When he's drunk, he doesn't even know that his pants are on backwards. Who would want to marry him?"
She became increasingly angry as she spoke, and her voice rose several decibels.
"That's hilarious! You think marriage is child's play? I can say I want a divorce and the Civil Affairs Bureau will stamp it!"
As she spoke, she casually tossed a new household registration booklet into the cloth bag she carried with her.
It slapped against the palm with a crisp, loud sound.
"See? The household registration booklets have all been changed!"
She pointed to the name on the paper and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"From now on, all three of my children will take my surname, Shen. I will not leave any of your Lu family's roots behind! From now on, we will go our separate ways and not interfere with each other. If anyone provokes me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lu Shuixian froze on the spot, her face turning bright red.
Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word; her mind was buzzing.
"My brother...my brother agreed?"
She murmured repeatedly, her eyes filled with shock.
"How is this possible? How could he sign it?"
You know, if Lu Guizhen were to marry that widowed man, he would be willing to give her several hundred yuan as a bride price.
That's no small sum; it's enough for the Lu family to live on for half a year.
Before she could even get married, Shen Cuifen snatched her away.
Now not only have they lost their daughter, but they've also lost their only source of income!
That's enough for their whole family to work for several years!
If Guizhen is taken away by Shen Cuifen...
Then the affairs at home become even more complicated.
Shen Cuifen was too lazy to waste words and simply rolled her eyes at her.
"You've already got your marriage certificate, what do you think?"
"But isn't that what you should be worrying about most right now? Isn't your mother dying? You still have time to meddle in my family's affairs?"
Lu Shuixian suddenly realized that her mother was still lying in the room!
She slapped her thigh, making a crisp "smack" sound, and her face instantly changed.
He turned and rushed into the house, stumbling and almost staggering as he stumbled towards the door.
"Oh my god! My dear mother!"
She screamed, her voice shrill.
He ran and howled, his voice even had a twist.
Shen Cuifen exchanged a glance with her parents, understanding each other without saying a word.
After all, Yang Juanhua had staged far too many "suicide attempts" before.
Shen Cuifen led the child and walked into Yang Juan's flower shop.
The child held her hand tightly, a little scared, but dared not ask.
We need to see for ourselves to find out what really happened.
Don't believe everything Lu Shuixian says.
To put it bluntly, I just want to confirm whether that annoying old woman is really dead or not!
The moment I pushed open the door, the scene inside came into view.
Yang Juanhua lay on the ground, curled up, her face ashen.
It was clearly Lu Shuixian who moved her off the bed.
The pillow was still crooked to one side, and the sheets were all torn and messy.
There was a red mark on his neck, which looked quite frightening.
But you can still see her chest rising and falling slightly.
Lu Qiming sat on the chair by the bed, silent, his face gloomy.
But his eyes remained fixed on Yang Juanhua on the ground.
If he could move, he would have gotten up on the spot and strangled her to death with his own hands.
That hatred had long since seeped into his very bones.
"What exactly is going on?"
Seeing that Shen Cuifen remained silent, Shen Guizhi turned to ask Lu Shuixian.
No matter what, she and her sister were Yang Juanhua's granddaughters, connected by blood, and she couldn't be as cold-blooded and ruthless as Lu Zhongping.
Even if you feel resentful, seeing an old man fall to the ground and not get up still makes your heart tighten.
Shen Cuifen didn't stop her.
She can be ruthless, but she can't lose her humanity.
Seeing an old man lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, no one can really stand idly by.
"How would I know what happened!"
Lu Shuixian immediately jumped up, raising her voice.
"I still want to settle accounts with you! How did you drive my mother to the point of hanging herself! She was an old woman, what did she want? It was all because of you!"
“A few days ago, my mother asked Zhongshun to pass on a message, saying that you were going to kill my brother!”
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, pointing her finger directly at Shen Cuifen.
"Now she's doing this again, Shen Cuifen, what exactly are you trying to do! Do you have to ruin our family before you're satisfied?"
"If you hadn't been getting a divorce, would my mom have been so distraught?"
She choked up, tears and snot streaming down her face, ruining her makeup.
"My poor mother~"
She rushed to Yang Juanhua's side, pounded the ground with her hands, and cried out in despair.
He muttered to himself, but his body instinctively moved away from the red mark.
She's quite good at shifting blame; with just a few words, she can push all the responsibility onto someone else.
This person is really bizarre. His own mother was about to die, and his first reaction wasn't to rush to save her.
Instead, they are eager to find someone to take the blame, and their minds are full of blaming others.
Completely disregarding the urgency and importance of the situation, and ignoring the fact that his mother's life was hanging in the balance, he only cared about taking his anger out on others, which infuriated Shen Cuifen.
Shen Cuifen grabbed Lu Guizhi and pulled her forcefully in front of her.
"Who said I'm causing trouble? Open your eyes and see clearly! It was your own brother and Zhou Wenjuan who were naked when I caught them, that's why I filed for divorce! You don't even know the situation in your own family, yet you're still shouting nonsense here!"
"And your dear mother! This morning when I went to process the divorce, I saw her with my own eyes in front of the village store, arm in arm with Zhou Wenjuan, chatting and laughing, they were having a really good time! How come she's saying she's going to die right away? It's only been a few hours! You're such a good liar! Why don't you go and ask Zhou Wenjuan what really happened!"
In fact, she discovered as soon as she returned that Zhou Wenjuan was nowhere to be seen.
The house was deserted and there was no one to help.
Lu Zhong and Lu Zhongping have disappeared without a trace.
The courtyard was eerily quiet, with only the creaking of the wind against the doors.
Lu Shuixian was rendered speechless by the barrage of questions.
She had no idea what was going on at home.
A few days ago, Lu Zhong asked someone to pass on a message saying that something had happened at home and that she should come back as soon as possible.
But she was injured at the time, her leg was wrapped in gauze, and she had difficulty walking, so she really couldn't make it.
It's finally getting better today; the wound has scabbed over.
She immediately rushed back, leaning on her cane, anxious to see how her mother was doing.
When she opened the door, the sight before her almost made her faint on the spot.
Yang Juanhua was found hanging stiffly from the beam above the bed, her eyes closed and her face pale.
Even more unexpectedly, in just a few days, the Lu family had already fallen into such chaos.
Shen Cuifen and Lu Weidong not only got divorced, but the procedures were also completed.
Lu Weidong even brazenly brought Zhou Wenjuan into his home.
That was a really ruthless move.
They not only distanced themselves from the situation but also immediately sought other support, leaving no room for dignity.
Lu Shuixian was about to continue wailing, but before her tears could fall, she choked out a sob.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the doorway.
"Make way! Make way now! Everyone move aside! Let me see the patient!"
Dr. Chen's voice came from outside, sounding anxious.
