Chapter 117 I'll Pay for Him
Shen Cuifen nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, I said that."
"So what if I said it? Am I not allowed to speak? Am I supposed to kneel down and beg you to be filial to me?"
Lu Zhongping clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and his chest heaved violently.
"Before you divorce Dad, let's sign a marriage contract! It's in black and white, with our fingerprints on it! From now on, whether you, Shen Cuifen, live or die, are sick or disabled, it has absolutely nothing to do with me, Lu Zhongping!"
"Don't wait until you're too old to walk, too mute, and almost in your coffin to come crying and begging me to take care of you! By then, I won't be able to move a single finger!"
Lu Zhonghe was unusually quick-witted this time.
They immediately realized this was a good opportunity to sever ties and draw clear lines.
He quickly got up from the ground and echoed.
“That’s right! Zhongping is right! I’m severing ties with you too! From now on, you’re not my mother, and I’m not your son!”
He raised his hand and pointed at Shen Cuifen.
"Do whatever you want, go wherever you want, but don't try to get involved with us again! Don't meddle in the affairs of the Lu family!"
He's not stupid; he knows exactly what's going on.
Now that Lu Zhongping has spoken, he has no choice but to follow suit and express his opinion.
If Shen Cuifen gets old and comes to your door to take care of you in your old age, won't you be left with nothing but trouble?
Yang Juanhua's eyes lit up, and she almost couldn't help but slap her thigh and cheer!
She secretly admired him: My grandson is so decisive!
You dare to speak and act, well done!
This is the true bloodline of the Lu family!
The brothers Shen Yongcai and Shen Yong'an stood aside, trembling with anger.
They never expected that these two children, whom Shen Cuifen had raised single-handedly, could say such heartless and ungrateful things.
Shen Yongcai was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves.
Shen Yong'an also clenched his fists, preparing to step forward as well.
Shen Cuifen suddenly reached out and blocked their way.
"Brother, don't worry about it."
Her gaze swept over Lu Zhongping and Lu Zhonghe.
"Let them go. People like them aren't worth your time. From now on, they and I have nothing to do with each other."
They suppressed their anger and endured it.
Shen Cuifen suddenly smiled, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Fine, if you want to cut ties, then let's cut them off cleanly!"
From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!
"I didn't give birth to you and raise you willingly!"
"Consider all the hard work and money of the past ten years as feeding wild dogs!"
"From this day forward, the three of us will have absolutely no connection whatsoever!"
"No one is allowed to set foot in my house again!"
"Go quickly and write the letter of severance of ties. I'll sign it immediately, in triplicate!"
Her voice was crisp and clear, without the slightest hesitation.
"Everyone take this and keep it safe!"
"Keep these safe yourselves, and I hope you'll keep your word and not go back on your word later!"
"If you dare to come and bother us again, I won't hesitate to take you to court!"
Without saying a word, the two brothers turned around and ran into the house.
They were afraid that things might change and that their mother might change her mind at the last minute.
They were even more afraid of not getting the money and the house.
Lu Guizhen quickly stepped forward to support the swaying Shen Cuifen.
"Mom, are you alright? Are you okay?"
Her face was full of worry, and her eyes were full of heartache.
She, as the eldest sister, knew best how good her mother had been to her three sons.
Even she herself felt sorry for them.
These two people are saying such cold-blooded things now.
Not only was Shen Cuifen furious, but even she, as the older sister, felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.
Shen Cuifen's hands were frighteningly cold, devoid of any warmth.
She gripped Lu Guizhen's hand tightly.
"Mom, don't be afraid. You still have me, Guizhi, and Zhongshun. We're all with you."
Tears welled up in Lu Guizhen's eyes, her voice trembling yet firm.
"Mom, the three of us will definitely take good care of you, never let you suffer any injustice, and never let you be sad for others again!"
Looking at Shen Cuifen and Lu Guizhen embracing, Lu Jianguo felt inexplicably irritated.
He couldn't help but snort coldly.
Everyone's attention immediately turned to him.
"What are you humming about! Pay back the money or hand over the house, you need a straight answer today!"
Shen Yong'an and his brothers immediately unleashed their anger on Lu Jianguo.
The way they were acting clearly indicated that they were prepared to beat Lu Jianguo up if he couldn't come up with the money.
The two men rolled up their sleeves, their eyes fierce.
Yang Juanhua rushed to Lu Jianguo's side and grabbed his arm.
"If we give that house to them, where will we live?"
She knew very well that her two grandsons would get married in the future, and she didn't want to have to share a bed with her son when she got old!
That house was her life's hope, her last resort.
Lu Jianguo certainly didn't want to give up the house, as it was his only property.
The problem is, he really didn't have a single penny in his pocket.
"Mom, how about... you take out some money to tide you over?"
He asked cautiously, not daring to look Yang Juanhua in the eye.
Yang Juanhua immediately released her grip and quickly took a step back.
"Where would I get money! Do you think I'm a money-printing machine?!"
Lu Jianguo immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, becoming completely listless.
Just as I was wondering what to do, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Brother Jianguo! I'll pay back the money you owe!"
Everyone turned to look outside, and saw Zhou Yangyu walk in with her head down.
There were obvious dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well for several nights in a row.
Lu Jianguo's eyes lit up immediately.
Zhou Yangyu is practically a lifesaver.
Then look at Shen Cuifen, it's like one is a fairy from heaven and the other is mud from the ground.
Lu Jianguo's gaze swept back and forth between the two men, his heart already tipped in his favor.
Although Shen Cuifen was beautiful, she had now become a shackle binding him.
Zhou Yangyu, however, became the stepping stone for him to escape this marriage.
Song Qiaoying recognized her at a glance as the woman who had been rolling around naked with Lu Jianguo!
She immediately spat on the ground.
"What a shameless bastard! Seducing someone's husband, and she still has the nerve to come and demand him back?"
Zhou Yangyu heard this and bit her lip until it turned white.
But she didn't look up or refute; she just took a deep breath.
She glanced at Lu Jianguo, a glance that held a thousand words: grievance, dependence, and pleading.
Lu Jianguo simply lowered his head, trying to avoid the question.
Zhou Yangyu turned around and knelt down in front of Shen Cuifen with a thud.
"Sister Cuifen, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry!"
“But now that things have come to this, this is all I can do… I… I can’t just stand by and watch Brother Jianguo get arrested.”
"Brother Jianguo, I'll pay back whatever money your parents owe you!"
As she spoke, her hands trembled as she reached into the cloth bag in her bosom.
"But I have only one request..."
She looked up, her eyes blurred with tears, at Shen Cuifen.
"Since you can't make it work with him anyway, just let us be together!"
Her tone was extremely humble.
Shen Cuifen stared at her appearance, feeling utterly disgusted.
Finally, she covered her mouth and rushed out the door.
She bent over and started gagging.
I vomited for a while before I felt better.
A moment later, she took a deep breath, straightened her back, and slowly walked back into the house.
As soon as I entered, I saw Yang Juanhua looking heartbroken, holding Zhou Yangyu's hand.
