Lu Mo parked the car and had just stepped into the yard when he heard Yue Hongxia's shrill cries and Lin Shufang's words of comfort.
"Dad, Qingquan is your own grandson... and now he's like this, how can you bear to let him suffer in there..."
Yue Hongxia wiped away her tears and sobbed, saying that ever since Lu Qingquan was taken away, she would come over every day to make a scene, saying that the old man had no affection for his family, watched his own grandson die without any reaction, and was as hard as iron.
The old man said with a gloomy face, "If you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for not teaching your son well."
"Dad, do you really want Qingquan to die?" Yue Hongxia cried out.
"You won't die!"
The old man snorted coldly, "It's just going to jail, what could possibly happen?"
"dad……"
Yue Hongxia wanted to say more, but Lu Mo walked in and interrupted her before she could finish speaking, "Grandpa has already retired and is no longer involved. Once he's gone, the tea grows cold. No matter how much Second Aunt makes a fuss, it won't help."
Lu Mo sneered inwardly. His second uncle was always good at scheming and was not at all the honest person he appeared to be. He was cunning and had more petty schemes than anyone else. Lu Qingquan's wickedness was mostly inherited from Lu Jiangang.
Every time Yue Hongxia caused trouble, it was basically Lu Jiangang who instigated it from behind the scenes. He himself would hide in the background and never show his face. To outsiders, it was just that Yue Hongxia was arrogant and domineering, but they felt very sorry for Lu Jiangang, thinking that he was really unlucky to have a tigress like Yue Hongxia.
But in reality, it was Lu Jiangang who had the worst intentions.
“Dad, even if you’re forgotten after your passing, you’re still better than Jian Gang. You can’t just stand by and watch someone die…”
Yue Hongxia was still making a scene. She wasn't stupid. Although the old man had retired, his former subordinates were all in important positions and had much more influence than Lu Jiangang. If she didn't go after the old man, who else would she go after?
The old man's face grew increasingly dark, and his pent-up anger intensified. Before Yue Hongxia could finish speaking, he forcefully slammed the purple clay teapot on the table onto the ground.
The teapot was shattered into pieces, spilling tea and broken porcelain all over the floor, creating a complete mess.
"roll!"
The old man roared, and Yue Hongxia trembled in fear, no longer daring to make a sound. But she hated the old man even more. It was just a matter of saying a few words to save Lu Qingquan from imprisonment, but that damned old man refused to help him. What a despicable old man!
"If she comes again, keep the door tightly closed and don't let her step into the house!"
The old man pointed at Yue Hongxia and yelled at Lin Shufang, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
The eldest daughter-in-law is good in every way, except that she is too soft-hearted, has no principles, and is incapable of being a bad person. Fortunately, Qingqing is much stronger and hates evil.
Lin Shufang trembled with fright and meekly agreed.
Yue Hongxia's face turned very ugly. Even though she was thick-skinned, she was too ashamed to stay any longer after being scolded like that by the old man, so she left in a huff.
The old man's anger hadn't subsided, and he was also feeling terrible. Lu Qingquan was his own grandson, and now he had ended up like this. No wonder he couldn't feel good!
“Grandpa, Qingquan won’t go to jail. He can apply for medical parole now that he’s healthy,” Lu Mo comforted him.
He thought of this the moment Lu Qingquan was arrested, and he believed Lu Jiangang would think of it soon as well.
The old man's expression softened a bit, but he was still very upset. He sighed deeply, glanced regretfully at the broken pieces on the ground, and went back to his room with his hands behind his back.
The teapot that was just smashed was the old man's beloved possession, which he had used for over ten years, showing just how angry he was.
However, Lu Mo's guess was correct. Lu Jiangang quickly thought of medical parole, and since Lu Qingquan had a serious infectious disease, the application for medical parole was quickly approved.
