Luo Jianjun sat on the kang with an angry face, glaring at Luo Xingci, "Are you crazy? If your father makes you unhappy, go and get him, why are you getting into trouble with me? I'm not the one who treated you badly, and your stepmother has gone to the city to live a good life now. What's the point of making trouble with me?"
He said he was no match for Luo Xingci in a fight and could only pray that she would not target him, but he also had many opinions about Luo Jianmin in his heart. If he had not failed to educate his daughter well, none of this would have happened today.
The Luo family is still the same Luo family as before, not the dysfunctional family it is now. Moreover, if Luo Xingci had been married off earlier, Jiaze might have already used the betrothal money to marry a wife.
Luo Fangfang is the only one in the family who is still studying. I don’t know what she is learning in school. If she hadn’t come back to visit before.
He also hated Old Lady Luo in his heart. It was obvious that Luo Fangfang was just a burden and not even Luo's biological daughter, but this damn old woman regarded her as more important than his son and even gave her five dollars a month to go to school.
Luo Xingci looked at him with an evil look on his face, "I am crazy, isn't it all because of you guys? If you hadn't driven me crazy, how could I become like this? If you want to blame someone, blame your brother and your biased mother."
"Second uncle, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're the one living the most miserable life in the Luo family right now. Look at how my father has found two wives. What does this mean? It means that my father asked your mother for the bride price one more time. And this Luo Fangfang is not a child of the Luo family, but she is so stupid as to worship her like a capitalist's daughter."
Luo Xingci is openly sowing discord. She wants the people in the Luo family to fight each other. None of them are good people.
After hearing this, Luo Jianjun felt that what she said made a lot of sense. Tomorrow he would go to ask Mrs. Luo for a dowry. Although he did not divorce Li Zhaodi and remarry, why should Luo Jianmin have to spend money when he remarries?
When Luo Jianmin married Wu Haixia, he did spend some money and even invited everyone in the brigade to the wedding banquet.
Don’t these cost money? He also didn’t understand why his mother didn’t treat him so well, and even her son hadn’t found a wife at this age, wasn’t she anxious?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Old Lady and Old Man Luo.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Luo Xingci stopped making trouble. She was also tired and had to go back to sleep.
That night Luo Jianjun couldn't sleep at all. He tossed and turned on the kang, thinking about what Old Lady Luo had done over the years.
First, she gave money to Luo Jianmin to remarry Wu Haixia. Second, Wu Haixia did not have to work, but her own wife had to. Third, Luo Fangfang was just a girl, not yet a member of the Luo family, and Old Lady Luo let her go to school. However, her own son was the eldest grandson of the Luo family, but Old Lady Luo seemed to have never considered Jiaze's lifelong affairs.
When they woke up the next day, all of Grandma Luo's family had dark circles under their eyes.
When Old Mrs. Luo got up early in the morning and saw that Li Zhaodi was not in the kitchen, she turned around and was about to knock on her door.
"Jianjun, what's wrong with Li Zhaodi? It's already so late and she hasn't gotten up to make breakfast yet. Does she want to starve me to death? She's already so grown up and still imitates others to be lazy. She doesn't have the fate of a lady but has the disease of a lady."
With every word she said, Luo Jianjun became angrier and he threw the towel aside.
"Mom, for so many years, breakfast has either been made by my wife or Luo Xingci. Now that Luo Xingci doesn't do it, why does my wife have to do it all? When Wu Haixia was still here, why didn't you ask her to get up and do it? It seems that the whole family is bullying my family!"
"And Luo Fangfang is not Luo's biological daughter, but you let her go to school and gave her money every month. But she never brought anything back to show her filial piety to you when she came back. Now that Wu Haixia has gone to live a good life, she never sent any money back home."
"By the way, I won't ask for more than you gave me when Jianmin married Wu Haixia. I will give him as much as he asked for. I don't want to pursue the work points we have earned over the years. Anyway, starting today, my wife will have to rest for as long as Wu Haixia has rested before."
The best thing would be to split up the family. He had no share in this family anyway, so he might as well take advantage of the fact that the two elders were not yet at the stage where he needed to be taken care of, at least he could get some benefits. Anyway, he was not planning to live with Luo Jianmin now. He couldn't stand Luo Xingci alone, and now there was another Luo Jinchuan.
Mrs. Luo was stunned when she heard this, and soon she started to throw a tantrum, "Luo Jianjun, what do you mean by this? Do you want to separate the family? I raised you to this age, and now you want to separate from me. If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned you to death."
"Or did that bitch Li Zhaodi teach you this? I am your mother, and Li Zhaodi is an outsider in the Luo family. Now you want to separate from me for such a woman. You are saying these things to me. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? Aren't you afraid that people outside will say you are unfilial?"
She was so pissed off. She couldn't sleep last night because of that bitch Luo Xingci, and now she woke up early in the morning to quarrel with her son. What was going on?
"Other people give birth to sons to provide for their old age, so that they can have someone to rely on, but what about me? I gave birth to an enemy! You all want to divide the family, right? I won't divide this family. You can divide the family, but only after I die!"
Luo Jianjun also relaxed a little after hearing this. Old Mrs. Luo knew that he was easily soft-hearted, and just when she was about to play the emotional card, she was interrupted by Luo Xingci who was yawning.
"Grandma, are you going to play the emotional card later? You know Luo Jianjun is easily soft-hearted so you want to take advantage of him, right? Grandma, if you are partial to my dad, just say it directly. Everyone knows that you treat Wu Haixia and Luo Fangfang as your treasures."
"Only Luo Jianjun would be stupid enough to listen to your useless words. If you are so kind, why do you only say these words to him? Aren't you saying this because you think he is stupid and can be fooled by you?"
Luo Jianjun came to his senses instantly. Luo Xingci was right. Not only did his mother always throw tantrums at him, but she also liked to tell him how difficult it was for her to raise them. Every time she said these words, he felt like he was not a human being.
If she treated everyone equally, why didn't she do the same to Luo Jianmin?
Old Lady Luo wanted to tear Luo Xingci's mouth to pieces. "Jianjun, don't listen to what this damn girl is saying. She is trying to sow discord between us."
Luo Xingci curled his lips, "Tsk, why don't you call me a dead girl when you call me Luo Fangfang? Isn't the logic the same? It's the same logic as why you are partial to Luo Jianmin."
Sure enough, Luo Jianjun's face changed drastically, "Mom, stop talking, either give me the money or we split up."
