Lu Mo roughly understood the situation. He had encountered ungrateful children who were not only unfilial but also wanted to steal his retirement money. Now they even wanted to beat his woman. It was outrageous.
Sister Wang was haphazardly shooing people away with a broom. She was using a sorghum broom, which wasn't as aggressive as a thin bamboo broom, but the few ungrateful creatures avoided it because they thought it was dirty, and were driven to the doorway by Sister Wang.
"Get out of here, all of you! Even if I die, you don't need to come knocking on my door. Just pretend I never had any children with you!"
Sister Wang cursed angrily, her face pale. She had already lost all hope in her children, but these beasts kept pouring cold water on her heart. Now they even wanted to slander that little girl. They were worse than animals!
"Mom, you're really confused. You don't want your own children, but you're being fooled by outsiders. What's the use of saying these angry words? When you pass away, we'll be the ones taking care of you. Who will take care of you if we're not the ones taking care of you?" the eldest son said unhappily.
"I'm just having surgery, and you're all passing the buck, refusing to contribute a single penny or even come to the hospital to take care of me. How can I expect you to support me in my old age? Hah... I'm not blind, and I'm not senile. I know who truly cares about me. Get out of here!"
Sister Wang's sarcastic remarks made the eldest son lose face, feeling both angry and embarrassed. The other old neighbors looked at him with disdain and shook their heads repeatedly.
"Mom, what you're saying is so meaningless. Didn't we take time off work to go to the hospital to take care of you? You were the one who said you didn't want us to come, that you had already hired a caregiver, so we didn't go. Now you're saying this, outsiders will really think we've done something outrageous!"
The one speaking was the eldest daughter-in-law. She looked refined and wore glasses. She spoke slowly and deliberately, but her words were sharp and cutting, like knives.
Ye Qingqing sneered and said loudly, "You each went for one day, but Grandma Wang didn't even get a hot soup for those four days. If you continue to take care of her, Grandma Wang probably won't be able to leave the hospital until the end of the year. Grandma Wang was forced to spend money to hire a caregiver because none of her four children can be relied on!"
"It's none of your business, you brat, to interfere in our family affairs. You've been the one stirring up trouble between my son and me, and you even stole our family's antiques. Hand them back, or you're not leaving this house!"
The second son glared fiercely at Ye Qingqing. He was short of money lately, and if he could get a share of this money, he could get through it. Maybe he could even have some left over to coax his lover and buy her a gold necklace or a gold ring.
Lu Mo looked at him coldly. His second son shuddered and subconsciously touched his neck, where it still burned with pain. He dared not utter another sound!
"If you have evidence, then appeal directly. If you don't have evidence and keep spouting nonsense, I will sue you for defamation!" Lu Mo said coldly.
“It was this brat who tricked us. They all saw her come to my house to get the safe that day. I can sue her for burglary based on that!” the second son said confidently.
He's a lawyer, you want to sue him?
No way!
Sister Wang said angrily, "I asked Qingqing to come and get the safe. Besides, this is my house, not yours. As the host, is it illegal for me to ask someone to come and get something?"
The other old neighbors nodded in agreement. A plump woman, who was next door to Sister Wang, suddenly slapped her thigh and said unhappily, "Deping, you lied to me that day! I said that this girl came to the house to get the safe, but I also said that this girl had a recording of your mother. Your mother told her to come back to get it. We all heard the recording. How could you become so bad!"
