The courtyard was in chaos. Jiang Ergou and Song Xuemei also ran out. When they saw that Lu Feng dared to cause such a scene, they were furious. They never dreamed that this good-for-nothing would have such guts.
"You even hit your child? Are you crazy?" Song Xuemei looked at her grandson's face, which was red from being slapped, and felt very sorry for him. She cursed, "You bastard, may your whole family die!"
Jiang Fuqiao rushed out of the house, staggering slightly, and shouted, "Lu Feng, let me tell you, you're crippled. My brother-in-law has already said he'll pay to buy your leg. Don't act tough here. In front of rich people, you're just an ant."
"What?"
"Did my brother-in-law really say that?"
The eldest sister-in-law's face lit up with joy. She got up from the ground and looked at Lu Feng with a beaming smile, saying, "Did you hear that? You're crippled. You can still get out of here now. If he really gets angry, you'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life."
Everyone's expressions were somewhat mocking, as if they were a group of condescending judges staring at him. Song Xuemei took a few steps forward and shouted, "I'm telling you, get out of here right now, and take your daughter with you. My family doesn't want her!"
Looking at those faces, Lu Feng realized that he used to know deeply that poverty was a sin, but now he understood that he hadn't truly grasped it.
In their eyes, Lu Feng is still the same Lu Feng as before. It's like a stereotype etched into their minds. Even when he drives back, they subconsciously assume that he borrowed or rented the car to save face.
This family taught Lu Feng a lesson: not everyone has morality.
"What? You want to break your leg? Don't believe me? To them, tens of thousands of yuan is no different from a few dollars. Do you think a poor wretch like you would understand? Spending tens of thousands of yuan to cripple you is just a piece of cake." The older sister-in-law snorted coldly and stood there, seemingly much more tolerant. She felt like she had become Xie Heng's alter ego, looking down on Lu Feng, this ant.
Lu Feng sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and said, "Since we've come this far, I won't pretend anymore. The car outside is mine. To be honest, I only come back for a few days a year. I wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, and I was afraid you would try to curry favor with me. Now I'm telling you, I'm rich, I've struck it rich."
Hahahaha!
Everyone laughed. Not only the Jiang family, but even the neighbors who were watching laughed. Nobody would believe such a thing, especially at a time like this.
Jiang Xiaoyan had just come out when she heard Lu Feng's words. She stood blankly at the door, her eyes a little red, and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "Let's go home. Let's go home for the New Year."
“Go back, don’t listen to his nonsense.” Song Xuemei pushed Jiang Xiaoyan towards her home.
“I’m not in a hurry to go home for the New Year. Isn’t it a rich man who wants to buy one of my legs?” Lu Feng said in a deep voice, “Let me see how much money this guy has and what kind of gang he’s involved in.”
"Get out of here quickly, or you might scare someone so badly they'll wet their pants."
"Stop trying to save face. The Jiang family doesn't want you. Get out!"
"Someone like you, trying to compare yourself to others? You must have a death wish. They could kill you with a flick of their finger."
"Still pretending, huh? You wait!" Jiang Fuqiao turned around, opened the door, and said, "I'm going to find my brother-in-law, damn it!"
Inside the house, Xie Heng had just put on one shoe. He was a little tipsy from drinking at noon, so he was moving slowly. Seeing this, Jiang Fuqiao squatted down on the ground like a lackey and said, "Brother-in-law, don't rush, I'll put it on for you. The other person is still cursing outside. It's really nasty. You must teach him a lesson, or he'll harass my sister."
"Don't worry, I'm your brother-in-law. Neither of your two sisters can touch you. If they dare to mess with me, I'll make sure they spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair."
Jiang Xiaoyan came out again, and Jiang Ergou and Song Xuemei pushed and shoved each other.
"Don't stop me!" Jiang Xiaoyan shouted at Lu Feng, "Don't get into a fight with anyone, come and pull me out of here!"
"No rush, I just want to see who this brother-in-law is," Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
The eldest sister-in-law looked at Lu Feng with disdain and muttered "looking for death." The second sister-in-law saw that her husband hadn't gone in to get closer to her brother-in-law, so she hurriedly went over and said, "What are you standing there for? Come inside! What a great opportunity!"
Jiang Fulu immediately understood. He opened the door and saw his elder brother and Xie Heng walking out. He turned around and shouted, "Let me tell you, you're crippled!"
The neighbors all craned their necks to look, curious about what it looked like to be rich.
However, most people were looking at Lu Feng, and realized that someone like him was utterly insignificant in front of the wealthy.
Xie Heng shoved the door open and cursed, "Damn it, you're trying to mess with the gods! You're asking for death! Anyone who dares to talk back to me, believe me or not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Heng's legs went weak when he saw Lu Feng, and he knelt down on the ground. Everyone stared in astonishment, stunned for a full second before they reacted.
"Quick! Help him up!"
Jiang Fuqiao immediately realized what was happening and squatted down to help him up, but Xie Heng's body seemed to be rooted to the ground and he couldn't be lifted up.
Lu Feng was somewhat surprised to see him. He smiled and said, "I let you off the hook, but you came to my house again and now you want to pay to break my legs? Mr. Xie, how much do you plan to pay for my two legs?"
"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu?" Xie Heng exclaimed in surprise.
Um?
Mr. Lu?
Everyone present was a little confused. Where was President Lu?
He's just a good-for-nothing; if it weren't for his wife working two jobs to support him, he would have starved to death long ago.
"Brother-in-law, have you had too much to drink?" Jiang Fuqiao whispered.
"I'm not drunk!" Xie Heng was not only not drunk, but now he was completely sober. He remembered that Lu Feng's few phone calls had caused a major earthquake in Baiyuan City, not to mention that they were on someone else's turf. His back was soaked with cold sweat.
