"Grandma Xu!" Lu Youxi said anxiously, "You have a clear conscience, but you don't need to say this about yourself for them."
Grandma Xu smiled softly at Lu Youxi and said, "Since I have a clear conscience, I am not afraid to say these things."
Zhang Jialiang looked a little uncomfortable, and after a long pause he said, "Mom, why do you have to say that?"
"If I don't say this, will you believe me?" Grandma Xu was heartbroken tonight, so she simply said, "There are no rooms for you at home, so you can go to the town and find a hotel to stay for a few days."
"How come there are no rooms?" Zhang Jiayu was stunned.
They originally thought that it would be okay to stay here during the Spring Festival holiday.
Anyway, food, clothing and lodging are all at home, so there is no need to spend extra money.
"You came back suddenly without saying hello, and there is no place for you at home," said Grandma Xu.
"How could that be?" Zhang Jialiang didn't believe it. "Mom, you always clean the house and tidy up the room before the Chinese New Year, waiting for us to come back and live in. You must have cleaned it this time too."
They didn't call home until New Year's Eve to say they wouldn't be coming back to live here, so Grandma Xu must have packed up her things long before that.
Grandma Xu smiled and said, "So you also know that for your return, I will clean the house inside and out, tidy up all the rooms, and prepare a large table of food for you to eat when you come home."
"But you still remembered to call me on the evening of New Year's Eve when I had almost prepared the meal." Grandma Xu smiled, "How busy are you? You didn't even have time to call me in advance? If it wasn't for the demolition, you wouldn't have come back this time, right?"
"Yes, the rooms in our house are all ready for you to move in at any time." Grandma Xu said, "But because you didn't tell me in advance, I didn't reserve a room for you."
"Youxi's family knew that you didn't come back for the New Year, leaving me alone at home for the New Year, so they came back specially to celebrate the New Year for me." Grandma Xu said, "The room is left for them to stay. If you want to stay, go find a hotel in town."
"How can we get to town at this time? All the cars are parked." Zhang Jialiang said unhappily, "Besides, hotels are so expensive during the New Year!"
"Mom, are you going to give the room to outsiders instead of letting us live in it?" Zhang Jiayu no longer wanted to maintain even the most basic courtesy.
She even suspected that Lu Youxi was thinking about the old lady's house.
Otherwise, why would Lu Youxi ignore his grandparents when they were still alive and come to spend the New Year with Grandma Xu?
Even though the Lu family elders favor boys over girls and treat Lu Youxi badly, Lu Zhenguo is a filial son. Although the Lu family elders do not love Lu Zhenguo as much as the Lu Zhen family, it is still okay.
How come Lu Zhenguo, who is so filial, doesn't spend the New Year with the Lu family's elders, but instead spends the New Year with an unrelated stranger?
She didn't believe that they had no plans.
Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Jiayu only come back once a year during the Chinese New Year.
Many things happened in the Lu family this year, and the brother and sister were unaware of them.
"Don't think that just because we please you, you will give the house to them, right?" Zhang Jiayu said sarcastically.
Grandma Xu gasped for breath, but she couldn't tell anyone about Lu Youxi's business in the imperial capital.
He didn't even plan to tell others that he was going to the capital to help.
Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan are good kids, and they are kind and filial to her, an unrelated outsider.
Zhou Shuyan was always thinking about her life-saving grace and was ready to take care of her in her old age.
She couldn't let her children drag down Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi anymore.
Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi are good kids, and she can't let the story of the farmer and the snake happen again.
"So you also know that you are not filial and have not done well, so you are worried that I will give the house to someone else." Grandma Xu covered her chest in anger, "If you have done well and have a clear conscience, why would you worry like this?"
"But you don't have to be mean!" Grandma Xu was getting more and more disappointed with her children. "When Youxi and the others came back, they didn't know anything about this. They found out later than you did, they just found out."
"They don't even want to fight for the Lu family's house, so why are they fighting for my house with you?" Grandma Xu became angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but speak harshly, "Only incompetent people would stare at their parents' trifles!"
"The little bit of money I save every year makes you worry about it. You dare not forget a penny." Grandma Xu sneered.
"You don't have to worry. No one cares about my house except you." Grandma Xu said coldly, "They just feel sorry for me. They feel sorry for me because I have a child but it's like I don't have one. They are filial, so they come to accompany me."
Grandma Xu also did not mention that she had saved Zhou Shuyan.
Otherwise, seeing how obsessed her children are with money, they would definitely hold on to the favor of saving their lives.
She would even ask the Zhou family for money! Grandma Xu never sought any reward for saving Zhou Shuyan, but she couldn't afford to lose face.
Zhang Jialiang pursed his lips and said, "Mom, you don't have to be so sarcastic to us. Don't you just think we are incompetent?"
Grandma Xu laughed disappointedly, "So you guys have been thinking about me this much all along. I've really been giving my heart to a dog."
"No, dogs know how to be grateful. Dogs don't mind a poor family. Dogs will follow their owners loyally and will never abandon or give up." Grandma Xu said coldly.
With this said, her children are even worse than dogs.
"They came all the way to celebrate the New Year with me, so naturally the room in my house should be vacated for Youxi and the others." Grandma Xu said, "Since you are just here for the house and not for your old mother, then you can move out. You don't have me in your heart anyway."
"No, don't they have a place to live? The Lu family is still from Hexing Village. It's not like they don't have a place to live in Hexing Village." Zhang Jialiang said unhappily, "Why don't they live in their own home and come to live in our place, leaving us with no place to live?"
"Besides, why don't they stay in a hotel?" Zhang Jiayu followed.
Lu Youxi estimated that this was probably one of the few times when the brother and sister were particularly united.
"They come to celebrate the New Year with me, don't you? You come to ask me for the house." Grandma Xu said coldly.
Grandma Xu has always been kind and considerate of children.
This time I am really disappointed.
