Li Xiuyun looked at the two pretentious people and her lips trembled with anger.
She knew that Chen Lichu said she wanted to move out on purpose to anger them, and she would not abandon her.
They have lived together under the same roof for so many years, and she knows her character.
But these two daughters-in-law are just the opposite. They say nice things on the surface, but do bad things secretly.
"At the end of last year, Yun Zhi had a big fight with Lu Dazhuang because he gambled and stole money from the family."
"The eldest son's wife took the opportunity to persuade Lu Dazhuang to sell the house, give her the money, and let us live in her house."
"I'm already an old man, how can I not understand your little tricks?"
"How could you two possibly accommodate us? I'm afraid that as soon as we give you the money, you'll kick us out the next."
Zhang Xiujuan glanced guiltily at the second brother and his wife, and smiled hypocritically: "That's not true, how could I say that? Don't listen to Dad's nonsense."
"The second son's wife is even more vicious. At the beginning of this year, she said there was an old lady in the village whose husband had died and she had no sons."
"So I urged Lu Dazhuang to divorce me and let him marry that old lady."
"What sin have I committed that my two sons married two vicious daughters-in-law?"
"When I was young, I worked like a slave for you. I never asked you to do any housework at home, did I?"
"Now that I'm old, you're treating me like this?"
"I don't expect anything from you. After all, I have a good daughter-in-law like Li Chu."
"But now you are ganging up on her and bullying her. I absolutely won't allow it."
"I'm going to make this clear today. The Lu family's old house has changed its name to Li!"
"After I'm gone for a hundred years, this house will belong to Yun Zhi and Li Chu. Don't even think about it!"
After Li finished speaking, she slammed the cane in her hand heavily to the ground.
Lu Shunzhi and Lu Xingzhi looked at each other and their expressions changed immediately.
"That won't work. The second son and I are also your sons, and we are also eligible to share the inheritance!" Lu Shunzhi said quickly.
"Yes, Mom, although we don't take good care of you, don't we still send you delicious food when we have it at home? You can't be so partial." Lu Xingzhi's tone was extremely flattering.
This is the only house his parents have, so he must work hard to get it.
"Food?" Li sneered. "Last year, they sent three buns and a plate of dumplings. The dumpling wrappers were all sticky. You could tell they were inedible."
"Yunzhi and Lichu work so hard to support this family, but they can't even afford a single meal of dumplings all year round."
"They're both skinny as hell, and look at you all, you've eaten more than the pigs in that pen."
Zhang Xiujuan was scolded without saying a word. She had originally planned to let the third brother and his wife support these two old people.
Wait until they die and then prevent them from inheriting the estate on the grounds that they have long severed their father-son relationship.
But she never expected that her mother-in-law was so scheming that she actually tricked her father-in-law into giving the house to her.
Now the second son and his wife live with the mother-in-law. Isn't it obvious that Chen Lichu will also get a share of the house after the mother-in-law dies?
She glared at Chen Lichu fiercely, digging her nails deep into her palms.
It was probably her idea. I really underestimated her before.
Seeing that his mother was really angry, Lu Shunzhi stepped forward and took her arm: "Mom, calm down, we didn't mean that."
Lu Xingzhi also echoed: "Look at what you said, how can we not support you? We just can't stand the third brother and his wife kicking Dad out."
"After all, this is our Lu family's old house. Why should we let an outsider have the final say?" Lu Shunzhi added.
"Outsider? Who is an outsider?" Li Xiuyun shook off Lu Shunzhi's arm. "The third brother and his wife have worked hard to raise us for more than ten years, and you call her an outsider?"
"Mom, are you confused? Her surname is Chen, not Lu. She is not from our Lu family, so of course she is an outsider." Lu Shunzhi's eyes were filled with deep worry.
He always felt that the third brother and his wife had given his mother some kind of magic potion.
Why can’t the old lady tell the difference between close relatives and strangers?
"This house now belongs to me, the Li family. You are all outsiders. You are not welcome here. Get out!" Li Xiuyun said, picking up the feather duster on the sofa and trying to drive them away.
"Mom, don't get angry and make yourself sick." Chen Lichu snatched the feather duster from her hand.
On the one hand, I am worried that as I get older, getting angry will cause my blood pressure to rise and my body to have problems.
On the other hand, I feel that letting them go like this is too easy for them.
"Mom, go back to the house and get the account book. I'll settle this account with them."
Although Li Xiuyun didn't know why Chen Lichu wanted her account book, she knew that doing so would help her.
So he took small steps back to the house to get the account book stored in the drawer.
Lu Shunzhi glanced at Lu Xingzhi, who also had a worried look on his face.
He's really weird today. He's usually easy to control, so why is he so unreasonable today?
Li Xiuyun took out the account book from the house and handed it to Chen Lichu.
Chen Lichu flipped through it roughly and found that it mainly recorded Lu Dazhuang's gambling debts.
Tsk tsk tsk...
You don’t know until you see it, and it’s really shocking.
Ever since Lu Yunzhi's elder and second brothers moved out, Li Xiuyun started keeping accounts.
This means that these gambling debts are all their money.
No wonder the family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet.
The old ones above her are eating her up, and the young ones with their families below her are eating her up. It is a blessing from her ancestors that she didn't starve to death.
"Since the eldest and second brothers are here today, let's settle the accounts and save ourselves from suffering in silence for so many years."
"This is all the gambling debts Dad owes since you moved out. A total of two thousand five hundred and twenty dollars."
"I don't want much either. To be fair, the three of us should split it equally. Each of you should give me 840 yuan."
Shen Lichu showed them the account book.
"Mr. Duo?" Zhang Xiujuan panicked when she heard that she was asked to pay.
An ordinary worker only earns thirty or forty yuan a month.
This old man actually lost more than two thousand yuan in gambling!
Liu Ermei was also panicking inside, but pretended to be calm: "Impossible, you must have remembered it wrongly. Where would you get so much money to pay off his gambling debts?"
"You mean Mom made false accounts to blackmail you?" Chen Lichu questioned.
"I don't care. I won't pay this money anyway!" Liu Ermei added, "Supporting parents definitely does not include helping them pay off their gambling debts. No matter where you go, it won't make any sense. If you're willing to pay it back, if you're willing to be the one taking the blame, that's your business. Don't involve us."
Liu Ermei was determined not to pay this money.
She just didn't believe that Chen Lichu would put a knife to her neck and ask her to give her money.
I've heard of splitting alimony equally, but I've never heard of splitting gambling debts equally.
It's really unlucky to have such a gambling father-in-law.
Chen Lichu chuckled and ignored them. The accounts had not been settled yet, and there was more to it than just this.
The best is yet to come.
