Chapter 464: Never Consume Yourself
Lu Qiaoge glanced outside the door and suddenly lowered his voice, saying, "Aunt Cheng, I won't tell anyone else what you're saying to me now. So you didn't actually fall in accidentally. Do you really want to die?"
"I didn't, I didn't, I...how could I think that? You...you little girl, don't talk nonsense." Mother Cheng explained hurriedly with a pale face.
Lu Qiaoge held the back of her hand and said, "I'm still on an IV drip, please don't move."
"I won't beat around the bush. I heard that Qu Caifeng took 300 yuan from you. She didn't take it all at once, but three times: twice before the New Year and once during the Lantern Festival. Is she here to ask for more money this time? After all, your daughter-in-law Lin Xiaomin's royalties are over 1,000 yuan, and almost everyone in the family compound knows about it now."
Nowadays, manuscript fees are not directly deposited into a bank card or passbook, but are transferred through the post office.
The recipient goes to the post office to collect the money with the letter of introduction and seal.
Generally speaking, large remittances cannot be concealed at all.
As Lu Qiaoge expected, Cheng's mother's face suddenly became paler.
Lu Qiaoge lowered his voice and continued, "Aunt Cheng, do you want to be threatened by her for the rest of your life? If you believe me, tell me what evidence she has on you.
I don't know why you're doing this, but I don't want those who threaten others to live happily in this world while those who are threatened die in frustration. This is unfair."
Mother Cheng stared at Lu Qiaoge in a daze. Although this girl was younger than her daughter-in-law, she inexplicably gave people a feeling of calmness and that everything was under control.
She grabbed Lu Qiaoge's hand, tears streaming down her face. "It's all my fault. I brought this upon myself. I was so stupid. I regret it now, and I don't know what to do. That woman Qu Caifeng...that woman is just threatening me. I have no other options. I can only...can only die. Who else can she threaten?"
"Then you are wrong. If she really has something on you, it would be useless even if you died. Couldn't she threaten your son or your daughter-in-law?
You know, there's no evidence after death, and she's the only one who decides right and wrong. If you don't mention your daughter-in-law, your son must have been the first person she threatened, right?"
Mother Cheng widened her eyes and stared at Lu Qiaoge blankly.
Yeah, why didn't she think of this?
Even if she died, would Qu Caifeng really be able to let things go?
No way!
She will definitely continue to threaten Cheng Wen with the agreement they wrote.
The old lady already knew that her son had no great ability or ambition, and his character was not the kind of person who would kill decisively or cruelly.
For the sake of his and the Cheng family's face, he might really be threatened by this woman for the rest of his life.
When she thought of this, Cheng's mother's eyes were filled with hatred.
He muttered to himself, "Yeah, I'm stupid. How could I die on my own? If I die on my own, that woman will become even more arrogant. Only if she dies can everything be truly over."
Lu Qiaoge curled his lips calmly and said, "If you tell me now, maybe everything will still be in time."
This time, Cheng's mother did not hesitate and told Lu Qiaoge about the agreement directly.
Seeing Lu Qiaoge's shocked look, he explained the whole story.
Lu Qiaoge frowned and said bluntly, "You're just bored. Cheng Wen and Lin Xiaomin know how to arrange their own lives. Why are you meddling in their affairs, and using such a messy method?"
You want to hold your grandchildren, which you think is important, but do you know what Cheng Wen and Lin Xiaomin think is most important?
You don't know or understand anything, and you only follow your own preferences. From now on, please don't get involved, do you hear me? "
"No, no, just this once, I regret it terribly." Then he asked Lu Qiaoge worriedly, "Director Lu, I've told you everything, but I... I'm also in the wrong. If Qu Caifeng really shows us this agreement, how can our family still stay in this compound?"
Lu Qiaoge sneered in his heart.
Now I know it’s not respectable to stay in the compound.
At that time, he wanted Qu Caifeng to give birth to a child and she would take care of it. Why didn’t he think about whether it would be embarrassing after the incident?
If Old Lady Cheng had not looked down on Qu Caifeng to some extent, she would not have been controlled by Qu Caifeng.
Lu Qiaoge calmly comforted her, "Just take good care of yourself. Our Subdistrict Office will definitely handle this matter."
Then he reassured the old lady: "Don't worry, it won't become known to everyone."
Mrs. Cheng nodded half-believingly, but she knew in her heart that even if everyone knew, there was nothing that could be done.
She couldn't bear Qu Caifeng's repeated threats and blackmail.
Her son and daughter-in-law are even worse.
The old lady closed her eyes. Director Lu was right. She really had nothing to do and was bored.
If they hadn't gotten involved, they would be a happy family of three now.
After that incident, she and Xiao Min could never get back to the way they were before.
Sometimes when she saw Xiao Min's cold eyes, she felt annoyed and upset, and more regretful.
Lu Qiaoge left the ward and said to Lin Xiaomin and Cheng Wen, "I have things to do back at the neighborhood office. You two should stay in the hospital and take care of Auntie today."
Cheng Wen didn't understand why Lu Qiaoge gave such instructions.
Lin Xiaomin pinched Cheng Wen's arm and nodded vigorously to Lu Qiaoge: "Director Lu, don't worry, the two of us will definitely stay here tonight to take care of my mother-in-law."
When he left to see Lu Qiaoge off, he said to her, "Don't worry, Qiaoge. Even if I publish some comic books, I won't look down on Cheng Wen or my mother-in-law."
Lu Qiaoge knew that she was trying to change her mind, but he didn't tell her the truth.
Let’s talk about it after it’s processed.
Lu Qiaoge thinks Qu Caifeng is a psychopath.
Xiao Cangcang said that the little girl was often beaten.
It's almost time to get off work, but the little girl still has to stand on a stool to cook for Qu Caifeng.
This child is eight years old and in the first grade of primary school. The little boy is six years old.
Qu Caifeng hardly cared about anything, and it was the little girl who took care of her brother's food and daily life.
Most of the work at Qu Caifeng's house is done by the little girl.
But the little boy still had a conscience. When his sister was beaten, he rushed over to protect her and even knelt down to beg his mother not to be angry.
Lu Qiaoge's car was parked on the side of the road, quietly waiting for Qu Caifeng to get off work.
It's time to get off work.
Sure enough, I saw Qu Caifeng walking slowly and calmly into Unit 2 where she was, carrying a shoulder bag.
There is someone cooking at home, so there is no rush.
Lu Qiaoge knocked on her door.
Without waiting for Qu Caifeng to say anything, Lu Qiaoge pushed her into the house and turned around to close the door.
The eight-year-old girl is very capable and keeps the house very clean inside and outside.
At this moment, she was kneeling on the floor in fear. It might be because she had just entered the door and she didn't know what had made Qu Caifeng unhappy.
Therefore, vicious people never consume themselves, because they consume others.
