"Thank goodness Lu Youxi has made great progress!"
"Shut up!" Old Madam Lu's hands were shaking with anger. "What do you know? Don't listen to her nonsense!"
"What nonsense did I say? If I said anything nonsense, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!" Liu Yusu swore to the sky.
No one expected that Liu Yusu, who usually had a weak temper, could be so tough at this moment.
It can be seen that honest people can be pushed into a corner sometimes, and when pushed into a corner, they can do anything! "And there are the Lu Zhen family and their spouses!" Liu Yushu pointed at the Lu Zhen family and their spouses and said, "Lu Youbang was admitted to Peking University, which is a good thing, and our whole family is happy for them. So when Lu Zhen's family came to our house and said that the family didn't have enough money, our family took out all the money in the family and gave it to him without saying a word, just because we didn't want to delay the child's schooling."
"What we think is that we are all family. When your family is in urgent need, our family will help. When our family is in urgent need, your family will help. We all help and support each other, and our family will become better and better, and we will prosper together." Liu Yusu said to such people.
This statement attracted the approval of the crowd, "Yes, yes, that's right."
"That's true. We are all family, and we should help each other."
"But these two ungrateful people took the money and didn't recognize us!" Liu Yusu's eyes were red, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred. "We didn't expect them to pay back the money. To be honest, based on my understanding of their family, they must have kept some money. They spent all our money. I know about this, Youxi and Youxue know it, and I believe Lu Zhenguo knows it too! But he is his younger brother, and he is supporting his nephew. Even if he knew, he wouldn't say it. We are a family, there is no you and me."
In the latter sentence, Liu Yusu couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic expression and tone.
Lu Zhenguo moved his mouth but found that he had no way to refute it, because he really knew it and really thought so. Liu Yusu had been married to him for decades and knew him very well.
"Now Youxi has been admitted to Beijing University, and her score is much higher than Youbang's!" Liu Yushu said, "But our family's money has been used to support Youbang's education. Now we need the help of Lu Zhen's family. Not only do they not think about the help we gave them, they also want to sell Youxi to the Hu family for money! It sounds good to say that they will use the betrothal money to support Youxi's education. Who would want to marry their child to a fool before letting her go to school? Youxi has a bright future, why should she marry a fool!"
"Besides, can they really give the money to Youxi after taking it? They really didn't take the money to help Youbang get married?" Liu Yushu sneered, "After all, in the eyes of my parents-in-law, Youbang is the only person in the family, and no one else is! Even my son Youxue can only be considered half a person! In order to send Youbang to college, Youxue in my family has to make four round trips from the school in the county to home every day to save money! One trip in the morning and evening, and two trips at noon! Once, there was almost a car accident at noon, and it was Youxi who saved Youxue, and he was hit!"
"How can they be so cruel! We have a twelve-year-old child, but they want to save money for a twenty-something guy from Youbang. Isn't it hot to handle this money for their family, including Youbang? Now they want to sell us out! Why should I stay with such a cannibalistic family?"
“That’s too much!”
The village chief's face darkened. "Originally, I always advocate reconciliation rather than separation, but this time, I fully respect Liu Yushu's opinion."
"You, the Lu family, have really gone too far!" the village chief said bluntly without any concealment.
Lu Zhenguo said with shame on his face: "Yushu, I know that you have been wronged for following me all these years. But we have been married for so many years, do you really want to divorce me?"
When Liu Yusu saw Lu Zhenguo's pleading look, she opened her mouth and turned away, unable to bear to look at him.
She has feelings for Lu Zhenguo.
Apart from having no bottom line towards his family, Lu Zhenguo is actually good to his wife and children in private.
The two elders of the Lu family favor sons over daughters, and so does the Lu Zhen family.
But Lu Zhenguo actually doesn't.
In private, he treated Lu Youxi and Lu Youxue the same, and would secretly save some delicious food for Lu Youxi.
It was also sincere that he supported Lu Youxi to go to college.
If it weren't for the two elders of the Lu family and the blood-sucking Lu Zhen family, even if Lu Zhenguo was not financially well-off, Liu Yusu would be willing to accompany Lu Zhenguo even if it meant suffering hardships.
"Dad." Lu Youxi said.
Lu Zhenguo looked over, a little hesitant to look at Lu Youxi.
He felt sorry for Lu Youxi, but there was also a hint of dissatisfaction in it.
Just now, Liu Yusu blurted out the divorce because she was angry, but if Lu Youxi didn't mention it, Liu Yusu might have let it go.
Or, they could just resolve it privately.
But Lu Youxi insisted on speaking about it in front of the village chief and so many villagers.
"What mom just said, isn't it enough? Do you want grandpa and grandma, and second uncle's family to continue to exploit us and suck our blood?" Lu Youxi said expressionlessly, "You can be filial, but why do you have to sacrifice all of us? Why should second uncle's family benefit from our sacrifice? Mom has suffered for most of her life for you. If you don't divorce, do you really want to drag her into the abyss of the Lu family with you, unable to climb out, and accompany you to continue to suffer for the few remaining years?"
"Grandpa and grandma always say that mom is an outsider. She has been in this family for decades, serving grandpa and grandma without fighting or competing, and watched you give all the family money to second uncle. In the end, grandpa and grandma and second uncle still call her an outsider. She has never been recognized by this family, so why do you want her to stay?"
"Grandpa and grandma are your biological parents. They have raised you. You can be filial to them, but why should you drag an outsider like me into it? What have they given me? They have given me nothing except grievances. Why should I be filial to them with you?"
"And Youxue. If you say that my grandparents favor boys over girls and don't care about me, then why don't they care about Youxue? Youxue's food and daily necessities are better than mine. But the books and schoolbags he uses are all left over by Lu Youbang. Lu Youbang is 9 years older than him. What he left over for Youxue must be rotten to the ground. He saved money just to give it to Lu Youbang. How could Lu Youbang afford to spend it!"
