Chapter 17 Come on, give me acupuncture
Lu Danian told Lu Xiangma about Lin Mu's situation, saying that he had come to harass her because of her sister-in-law's mischief. Both of them were a little shocked, and at this moment, they heard Grandma Lu's yelling and cursing outside again.
They hurried out, and Lu Danian asked, "Mom, what are you doing here?"
This sentence successfully made Grandma Lu angry: "What are you talking about? As a mother, it is only natural for me to come to my son." She remembered the day when Lu Danian knelt on the ground and kowtowed, causing her as a mother to be blamed, and she became angry.
Grandma Lu said, "Look at you, you've raised this unfilial thing. She just called me a dog. With such a conscienceless daughter, it's no wonder you can't have a son!"
Lu Danian's lips trembled with anger at being cursed by his own mother.
Lu Xiang looked at Grandma Lu's arrogant look and said, "Dad, you were adopted, right?" Grandma really didn't treat them as human beings at all.
Mother Lu has been used to being a coward all her life, but even honest people have their bottom line. Seeing that Grandma Lu even scolded her granddaughter and son, Mother Lu said, "After all these years, don't you feel sorry for Da Nian at all?"
Grandma Lu scoffed, "How come his brother lives well while he lives poorly? It's his own fault." She didn't even mention how she practically drove Lu Danian and his family away when the old man died, giving everything to her eldest son. Instead, she blamed her youngest son for being incompetent.
After Grandma Lu cursed for a while, she remembered the purpose of her visit and asked, "Where is the three hundred yuan?"
Lu Danian asked, "What do you mean by three hundred yuan?"
Grandma Lu said, "The Fu family paid the betrothal gift, and they took the money back from me. I gave you the money, so why didn't you send it back to me?"
Lu Xiang was so angry at his self-righteous attitude that she laughed: "I don't have any money." Even if he had it, he wouldn't give it to her.
Lu Xiang's family didn't even have a bowl of rice, but she didn't help. Every time the food and money were distributed, she came to exploit them.
Grandma Lu said, "Okay, you took my money and didn't give it back to me. Are you trying to force me to death?" After saying that, she sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and yelling.
Fu Qinhui had seen Grandma Lu a few times before and thought she was just an ordinary old lady. But now it seems that she is quite unreasonable.
Lu Xiang had already spent the money on food, leaving only 40 yuan in Lu's mother's hands. How could a family live without a penny? This money was for daily life.
Lu Xiang said: "This money is for the Fu family to marry a daughter-in-law. Why should we give it to you? It's not you who is marrying! Besides, we have already separated."
There were bursts of laughter all around.
Lu Xiang saw that many people were attracted by Grandma Lu's crying and making a fuss. She just happened to hear Lu Xiang say to Grandma, "It's not you who's getting married!" and was amused.
People around her said to Grandma Lu, "Aunt Lu, why do you always pick on Lu Xiang and the others?" Seeing that she was old, people around her spoke to her politely.
Grandma Lu said, "The Fu family gave them three hundred yuan, and they pocketed it. That money was taken from me by the Fu family. It was my money! They pocketed three hundred yuan from me and they won't let me say anything? How can such a thing be justified in this world?"
Lu Xiang said quietly, "Originally, the Fu family was meant for you, but you were so clever that you replaced Lu Zhaodi. The money is naturally calculated separately. Ultimately, it's your own fault, so how can you blame my parents?"
Grandma Lu was furious and said, "You are the one who is so shameless that you are throwing yourself at the Fu family!"
Lu Danian raised his voice an octave: "Mom, Lu Xiang is the child you have watched grow up. She is the most honest and dutiful."
Lu Danian was very disappointed with his mother. She knew that Lu Xiang was with Fu Qinhui, but she still said this on purpose. She was deliberately doing something bad because she didn't get the money.
But Lu Xiang is her granddaughter. Just because of her bad idea, Lu Xiang became the target of public criticism, and now they are throwing dirty water on her?
To say that white is black is to kill the three members of this family!
Lu Xiang's face darkened as she said, "The police explained everything clearly that day. They also said that if I make the same mistake again, I'll be arrested and put in jail. Grandma, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."
Grandma Lu was a bit of a bully. He felt a chill in his heart at the mention of the police, but he quickly said, "You even want to sue your own grandma, you unfilial beast!"
The people around who were watching the fun gathered together and whispered to each other. Although Lu Danian couldn't hear what they were saying, seeing them like this, he felt like ants were crawling in his heart!
Lu Danian couldn't stand it any longer and said, "When Daya got married, you said he was from a clean family. It was only on the wedding day that we found out who he was. And then you made the decision about Erya too. Is all you care about money?"
Grandma Lu had been accustomed to Lu Danian's submissive behavior for years, and now seeing that Lu Danian refused to listen to her, she jumped up in anger: "You still have the nerve to blame me? I raised you and you became an evildoer? A beast like you should have been strangled to death when you were born."
Grandma Lu thought she could easily get the money from Lu Danian, but she didn't get any at all. She became angry and embarrassed. Seeing so many people surrounding her, she felt embarrassed. She covered her heart with one hand and said, "Okay, you want to piss me off to death." Then her neck stiffened and she pretended to faint.
Everyone gathered around and said, "No matter what, you can't make an old man so angry like this?"
Grandma Lu, who was unconscious due to her dowry, was feeling happy. If she can't cure others, how can she cure you?
Lu Danian panicked, but Lu Xiang said, "Mom, go get your embroidery needles. I've seen others perform acupuncture before. They can wake people up by pricking their fingers."
Mother Lu was at a loss, but when she saw Lu Xiang speaking calmly, she suddenly found her backbone. She hurriedly went to find a needle to sew the quilt!
Grandma Lu felt a little unwell. At this time, Lu Xiang said to Fu Qinhui: "Hold my grandma's hand, otherwise if the needle goes wrong, you will have to do it again."
Fu Qinhui promised his wife. Grandma Lu felt her hand being grabbed and unable to move, and her uneasiness gradually grew.
Ever since the substitutionary marriage incident, Lu Xiang has become exceptionally powerful.
Grandma Lu didn't open her eyes, but her whole body felt tense with nervousness.
Just when Lu Xiang took out the steel needle to scare her, she saw Grandma Lu slowly waking up.
Lu Xiang asked, "Grandma is awake?" Her voice sounded very surprised.
Everyone around praised: "Lu Xiang really did not hold grudges. Aunt Lu is such a good child, please don't be picky."
Grandma Lu also knew that the money would not be returned. Lu Xiang was like a slippery fish. Every time she thought she was about to succeed, she would be defeated. Now she knew that her words were useless and glared at Lu Xiang angrily.
He got up from the ground with a grunt.
Three hundred yuan! That's enough for a countryman to earn in a year. Lu Xiang got it for free. Her whole body ached at the thought. Even more frantic, her usually obedient son was now disobeying her. This wasn't a good sign.
Grandma Lu was filled with regret! Just like Lu Xiang had said, why did she want to change the marriage when things were going well? She was really out of her mind at the time. As a result, Lu Zhaodi didn't get married, but Lu Xiang got a good marriage. She lost more than she gained. It makes her heart ache when she thinks about it.
All the sounds around her seemed to be laughing at her.
