"Isn't she already in the hospital?" Old Mrs. Lu was already unhappy because Lu Youxi's hospitalization cost the family money and took up Lu Youbang's tuition.
Just now, when I heard that Liu Yusu was going to give up her housework to stay here with Lu Youxi, I suddenly felt that Lu Youxi was like a jinx who was not capable of doing any real work except dragging the family down.
At this moment, Old Lady Lu completely forgot that if it weren't for Lu Youxi, the person lying on the hospital bed now would be Lu Youxue, whom she valued.
"With doctors and nurses here, what can happen to her? And didn't she only hurt one leg? I think the other leg is still quite flexible, it's not like she can't move!" Old Mrs. Lu pouted, "If she wants to get out of bed, she can jump with one leg!"
Liu Yusu was upset. Is what Mrs. Lu said authentic?
Lu Youxi held Liu Yushu's hand and said, "Mom, you can go back. You don't have to stay here with me. I can do it myself. I'll ask the nurse to help me if there's anything. The housework is more important. And Dad has to go to the fields in the afternoon."
Liu Yusu hesitated, but finally couldn't resist Lu Youxi's persuasion and agreed to go home.
Before leaving, he reminded Lu Youxue, "Pay attention to the time and don't be late for school this afternoon."
Lu Youxi then looked at Lu Zhenjia and sighed regretfully, "Second Uncle, in this case, you can only ask grandpa and grandma for your cousin's tuition and living expenses."
Mr. Lu: “…”
Old Mrs. Lu: “…”
If you could pull back the smile from your eyes, you'd look more sincere.
The Lu Zhen family knew about Lu Zhenguo's family background. Although Lu Youxi was annoying, she was telling the truth.
Lu Zhenjia immediately turned to look at the two elders of the Lu family.
Mrs. Lu felt distressed, her heart was bleeding, but she had to nod to Lu Zhenjia, "Your father and I will give you the money when we get back."
"Hey!" Lu Zhenjia agreed happily, "At critical moments, we still have to rely on our parents."
Now that the money problem has been solved, Lu Zhenjia is too lazy to stay here to see Lu Youxi. Even if Lu Youxi dies in a car accident, it has nothing to do with him.
Ignoring that Lu Youxi was still lying on the hospital bed, Lu Zhenjia said happily: "Mom and Dad, let's go home first."
Money is more important.
Just as everyone was about to leave, the village chief came back.
He had listened to what the Lu family had just said, and he felt a little sorry for Lu Youxi.
What kind of life is this little girl living at home?
He was also more certain that Lu Youxi did not lie to him.
When Lu Zhenjia saw this, he hurried back a few steps to the bedside and snatched the money given by Lu Zhenguo from Lu Youxi's hand.
He ran back to the village chief and handed him the envelope with money with a flattering smile, "Village chief, Daya said that you paid for her medical expenses. Here's the money!"
The village chief glanced at Lu Youxi and nodded, "Okay."
So he took the money.
Lu Zhenjia saw that Lu Youxi really didn't lie.
Except for Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yusu, everyone else felt uneasy leaving the money with Lu Youxi.
"Then let's go home first." Lu Zhenjia continued to flatter, "There is still a lot of work to do in the fields."
The village chief knew that no one would stay with Lu Youxi, but he still couldn't help pretending to be surprised and asked, "Isn't there anyone staying with Youxi? She injured her leg and has difficulty moving. If she wants to go to the bathroom, it might be difficult for her to go alone."
Liu Yusu wanted to say that she still wanted to stay and take care of Lu Youxi, but Lu Youxi spoke first, "It's okay, I'll ask the nurse for help if there's anything."
"Daya is capable and sensible, and doesn't want to affect the housework." Ge Guifen had a smile on her face, but it was all hypocrisy.
The village chief frowned and said seriously: "Zhen Jiajia, I have to tell you this, Youxi is a grown-up girl. It's ok to call her Daya at home, but it's not allowed to call her that outside. Youxi is such a nice name. Calling her Daya Daya outside is not nice, and people will laugh at Youxi."
Ge Guifen didn't take it seriously and just agreed on the surface.
The Lu family members left.
Before leaving, only Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yusu gave Lu Youxi worried instructions.
"I finished work this morning and came to see you with your mother." Lu Zhenguo said.
Liu Yusu nodded immediately.
Lu Youxi smiled and sent them off. The village chief did not leave, but returned the money to Lu Youxi, "Here, this is for you. I don't know where you got so many ideas from, little girl."
"However, although you have taken the money and don't have to give it to the friendly countries, what use do you want this money for? How do you plan to return it to your parents?" the village chief asked again.
Lu Youxi held an envelope of money and said with a smile: "Put it here for Youxue to use for his future studies. Although Youxue is only 12 years old now, time has passed in the blink of an eye. In the future, I want Youxue to go to university in the capital. It will cost a lot by then, so I have to save it for him in advance. I can't let my second uncle's family take all the money again and again. What should I do with Youxue?"
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Lu Youxue was anxious.
He originally thought that Lu Youxi left this money for his own college education.
"I still have six years to go in college, but you are going to college this year." Lu Youxi is a good student, and Lu Youxue never doubted that Lu Youxi would fail the college entrance examination.
"You don't have to worry about me." Lu Youxi said with a smile, "I think my score should be good enough to get a scholarship. When I move to the city in the future, I can work part-time while studying and even earn enough to live on."
"Then I can do it too." Lu Youxue followed up, "Sister, don't work so hard on yourself."
"What's the big deal?" Lu Youxi didn't care. "Besides, I don't just want to save money for you to go to college. If possible, I want you to go to school in the city."
"Going to school in the city will give you different experiences, and the content taught in school will definitely be richer." Lu Youxi had seen the prosperity of various countries in his previous life, but the farthest place Lu Youxi has been to so far is just the town.
Lu Youxi not only hopes that Lu Youxue can receive a better education, but also hopes that he can have a broad vision.
The village chief was a little surprised to see that Lu Youxi took the money not for himself but to save it for Lu Youxue. He couldn't help but secretly praise and admire Lu Youxi's selflessness for caring so much about Lu Youxue.
It can be seen that Lu Youxi is not stingy and unwilling to help his family. Lu Youxi refused to let his family give the money to Lu Youbang no matter what, and even joined forces with Lu Youxue to cheat his family together. It can be seen that Lu Youbang really went too far.
