Chapter 421 Li Ruyun's Plan
421
As he said this, he turned over in bed angrily and pulled the quilt hard to cover most of his body.
As if he was still not satisfied with this, Ke Qiangbang snorted coldly, the sound squeezed out from the depths of his nose, full of disdain: "Humph, she must be hiding in a very secluded place, afraid that we will find it.
I think she is just getting old and confused. Even at this time, she is still guarding those things. She doesn't think about the fact that the old man is not at home now. Can she guard them by herself?
It would have been better to take it out earlier so that we sons could enjoy it. But she insisted on treating us all like thieves and guarding against us. It really pissed me off."
As he spoke, he slammed the cabinet beside the bed with his hand, causing the teacup on the cabinet to shake and make a crisp sound.
Li Ruyun patted Ke Qiangbang's back gently. "Forget it, don't be angry. You're the second child, so you're not valued at home. Since we all know it, why are you still angry?"
Do you think it's possible that the old lady had already divided those things between the first and third wives?"
Ke Qiangbang sat up with a swish, his eyes fixed on Li Ruyun in the darkness. "Are you serious? If so, I will definitely kill the old lady."
Li Ruyun sat up and said, "Why are you so angry? I was just saying that. But it's possible. After all, the old lady always feels that she owes the eldest child. The third child is the youngest. The elders always favor the older ones.
In the end, the ones who suffer the most are us, who are stuck in the middle."
Ke Qiangbang immediately stood up and put on his clothes. "No, I have to go to the old house and ask the old lady. If she really did that."
"No, you can't go. You can't let the old lady come to our place under any circumstances." Li Ruyun continued, her voice still soft, but revealing an unquestionable determination.
As if she realized that there was something wrong with what she said, she adjusted her body slightly, pulled the quilt to cover her knees, and showed a helpless and aggrieved expression on her face.
"Don't misunderstand me, Bangzi. I don't mean anything else. Besides, right now we're just guessing where the things are. Don't we have any evidence? If you go over there, you'll alert the enemy."
Speaking of Mom, if she comes, she'll eat our food, use our things, and we'll have to serve her. Who in our family is idle? We don't have that much free time to waste on serving her.
Besides, if she ever takes something out, she might give it all to the eldest and third sons. In the end, we won't get anything and we'll be the only ones serving her. That would be a huge loss for us. I mean, you've suffered all the injustice.
You said that we spent so much effort to find those things, why did they take all the benefits in the end?
So, no, we absolutely cannot let the old lady live in our house. Bangzi, you have to be alert. You can't really let her take advantage of us, right? "
She gently pulled Ke Qiangbang's arm, her eyes full of expectation for him to express his opinion.
Ke Qiangbang lay on his back, looking at the ceiling, and sighed with a hint of hesitation in his tone: "Alas, I don't want her to come, but she is my mother after all. If I really don't care about her, others will poke us in the spine if the news gets out.
How can we hold our heads high in this company? Our colleagues will point fingers at us behind our backs, and we won’t be able to hold our faces up.”
He frowned, crossed his hands behind his head, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"It shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Li Ruyu said disapprovingly, with a hint of sneer on his face, but the sneer was fleeting, and he soon returned to his gentle look.
She leaned close to Ke Qiangbang and whispered, "It's said that a loving father can only make his sons filial. Which of these three sons did the old lady treat the worst? The neighbors saw it all. We can't just assume whatever the old lady says is true, right?
Besides, she's comfortable at home, so she wouldn't think of coming here. If she did, it would definitely be to exploit us. Bangzi, raising three children is already difficult.
If the old lady comes over here, our lives will be really tight." As she spoke, she gently stroked Ke Qiangbang's chest with her fingers, trying to persuade him.
Perhaps unable to resist the temptation, Ke Qiangbang's voice deepened. "Don't worry, I will never let her live in our house. She doesn't even want to give me her things, so why should she come here and ask me to support her? I'm being merciful by not killing her."
Hearing this, Liu Ting's body couldn't help but tremble violently, and tears burst out of her eyes like a flood.
She never imagined that the son she had raised with great difficulty would now plot against her like this with her daughter-in-law. Those seemingly gentle but ice-cold words were like sharp knives, piercing her heart.
The coldness in Tang Yue's eyes grew even stronger. She had never been so angry before. She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. She felt extremely disgusted with the couple's behavior.
Liu Ting took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She suppressed the grief in her heart, gently pushed Tang Yue's hand away, and said in a trembling voice:
"Let's go, kid. I've heard enough."
Tang Yue looked at Liu Ting's heartbroken expression, and felt a pang of pain in her heart. She nodded, her eyes full of sympathy, and slowly left this heartbreaking place with Liu Ting.
Liu Ting walked the streets like a corpse. The precious child she held in her palms now spoke such cold words as "I want to kill her," which made her shudder. It turned out that human evil could be so great. After all, she was his biological mother, the one who gave birth to him and raised him. How could he say such words?
Liu Ting couldn't believe his ears. However, those words came out of his own son's mouth word for word.
Tang Yue looked at Liu Ting's shaky body. Although she was furious, she wanted her to see through these people's true colors. After all, Mr. Ke would return one day, and she didn't want the old man she had taken such good care of to be sucked dry by these people when he returned. That would make her sick to death.
What Liu Ting didn't know was that after they left, before Ke Qiangbang turned over and pressed on Li Ruyun, their eldest son Ke Shunyi couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at his parents.
"Mom and Dad, are you still human? Huh?"
Li Ruyun and Ke Qiangbang shuddered, their previous romantic thoughts immediately fading. Ke Shunyi's voice was loud enough to be heard by several families.
Li Ruyun quickly sat up and said, "Shunyi, what are you doing? Are you having sleep hysteria? Wake up." Li Ruyun spoke louder, trying to make the neighbors believe that the child had a bad dream.
"I didn't..."
"Shut up!"
Li Ruyun's voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly oppressive. She lowered her voice and asked, "Shunyi, why are you staying up late at night to eavesdrop on my conversation with your dad?"
Li Shunyi lay down on his bed in the room, "Mom and Dad, I never thought you were this kind of people."
Li Ruyun was even angrier than him. She had already put on her shoes and came to Ke Shunyi's room. "What kind of person am I? Huh? Tell me, what kind of person am I? Who am I doing all this for? Huh? Who do you think I am doing this for?"
"I'm doing this for you guys? I just want you all to have enough to eat. What have I done wrong? Huh?"
Ke Shunyi wanted to call them ungrateful, ambitious, and shameless. But these were his parents, and he couldn't say such words. But Ke Shunyi wasn't prepared to compromise like that.
"Mom and Dad, do you know what kind of life my grandma lives at my uncle's house? She..."
Li Ruyun looked at Ke Qiangbang and immediately interrupted Ke Shunyi, "What kind of life does she live? Ah? Of course, she has food to eat and clothes to wear. Your uncle's house has so many rooms, but doesn't it have a place for your grandma? Ah?"
"Look at our house again? You can even hear your dad and I whispering to each other in the middle of the night. It's such a small place, and if another person squeezes in, how can we live in our house? Ah, what do you think?"
Do you really want your grandma to come and suffer with us?"
"Also, do you know that the big house your uncle and his family live in was bought by your grandparents and given to your uncle's family for free? What do we have? Huh? What do we have?"
