Father Lu was shocked, his face turned pale, and he quickly explained: "Yes...I brought it back. I made some money outside. Xiaochen, you should put it away quickly. Don't show off your wealth."
He wanted to go over to get the money, but Lu Chen raised it a little higher. Father Lu was not as tall as him and could not reach it. He stared at the money anxiously, as this was his living expenses for the next few years.
"People like you would bring money back? Tell me, how many families did you receive deposits from? Which ones are they?" Lu Chen asked sarcastically.
"Really? Oh, don't burn it. This is real money..."
Mr. Lu was still trying to argue, but Lu Chen took out a lighter and was about to light the money in his hand. Mr. Lu was so anxious that he jumped up and down and kept begging, but Lu Chen still lit the fire and was about to catch fire.
"Just six."
Father Lu confessed dejectedly.
"Which six?"
"I kept a record."
Father Lu became even more depressed. All his hard work for several days was wasted.
Alas! Lu Chen took a deep breath and resisted the urge to do anything. If he wasn't afraid of being punished by God, he really wanted to kill this thing.
Mr. Lu honestly took out the account book, on which the accounts were recorded in neat small characters. It clearly stated how much money was received as a deposit from someone on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. There were indeed six entries, totaling one hundred and five thousand.
The money was all there, and Father Lu hadn't had time to spend it yet. He looked at Lu Chen with distress as he put the money into his pocket. He wanted to ask him to leave some for him several times, but he didn't dare to say it for fear of being beaten by his son.
This son has been at odds with him since he was born. When he was less than a month old, when he went to hug his son, the boy kicked him in the heart, almost suffocating him. When he was changing his diaper, he peed on him, right into his mouth, which made him so smelly that he didn't eat for three days.
When the boy grew up a little, Lu's father was even more afraid to provoke him. He was strong and had a bad temper, and would stab him in the eyes at any time. Once, when he talked back to his father, the boy took out a brick with a cold face and broke it in front of him, which scared him so much that he had nightmares for several days.
Thinking back to what happened in the past, Father Lu didn't dare to speak any more. Forget it, money can be cheated again, but his life is more important.
The old woman felt strange and asked, "Husband, are you short of money? Don't I give you a thousand yuan pocket money every month?"
She didn't even know that Father Lu had cheated her out of so much money. The rent from her several houses brought in tens of thousands of yuan each month, which was more than enough to cover her expenses. There was no need to cheat her out of money.
"No, don't worry about it."
Father Lu responded vaguely, avoiding the old woman's gaze and not daring to meet her eyes.
The man who bought the house finally understood and yelled angrily: "You old liar, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Fortunately, Lu Chen came back, otherwise he would have swindled 12,000 yuan. The man who bought the house thanked Lu Chen again and again, glared at Lu's father, and then left.
Mr. Lu remained calm. He was used to being scolded like that and didn't feel ashamed. He had become thick-skinned anyway.
"Tell me, how much do you owe now?" Lu Chen asked coldly.
He actually felt a little sympathy for the old woman. Meeting a man like his father was a disaster for the old woman.
"No...no."
Mr. Lu said that he didn't owe anything, but he lowered his head, obviously feeling guilty.
“Pah…”
Like a magician, Lu Chen took out a shiny whip and whipped it in the air a few times. Hearing the familiar sound, Lu's father hugged his head reflexively. This whip was the one his father used to whip him with, and it really hurt.
Lu Chen whipped it a few more times and said coldly: "You tell me yourself, or let this whip ask you."
"I'm your father."
Father Lu plucked up his courage and straightened his back, because he was the elder.
"Are you worthy of being a father?"
Lu Chen sneered and lashed out with a whip. The whip was as flexible as a snake. When the tip of the whip was about to reach Lu's father, it suddenly stopped, just a few centimeters away.
Father Lu was so scared that he closed his eyes, thinking he was going to be beaten, but the familiar pain did not come. He opened his eyes in fear and saw the whip so close to him. He was so scared that he closed his eyes again, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.
"I'll count to three, one, two..."
Lu Chen dragged out the last line of the song. Just after he counted to two, his father couldn't stand it anymore and confessed honestly: "I... I didn't mean it, Xiao Chen. I was forced. Those people said they would chop off my hands if I didn't pay back the money. They killed people without blinking an eye, wuwu..."
Father Lu cried and sobbed as he pitifully expressed his helplessness. Jiang Hanyan rolled her eyes as she listened.
There's nothing pitiful about an old gambler. He deserves to be hacked to death.
"Her house was sold by you, right?"
Lu Chen pointed at the still confused old woman. His father refused to go back to Yangcheng, which obviously showed that he had done something wrong.
The old woman was startled and said in a lost voice: "Impossible, the property certificate is in the safe."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although she liked Father Lu, she was also on guard. The property certificate and jewelry were all kept in a safe. He only gave her 1,000 yuan in pocket money every month, no more. And how could he sell the house without her personal signature?
Lu Chen sneered. His father had no other skills, but he was an expert at cheating and deceiving. Even if the property certificate was locked in the Heavenly Palace, he would have a way to get it out, and even a way to sell it.
Under the threat of the whip, Father Lu did not dare to hide anything and confessed that he had sold the house. All of the old woman's properties were sold by him, not a single one was left, and the old woman's jewelry was also gone.
The old woman's face was pale and she was at a loss. It took her a long time to react. She burst into tears and her tears flowed down her face, forming several mudslides. Although it was a bit disgusting, she looked quite pitiful.
"That's my retirement money. You didn't leave me any. You're not a human being... What should I do..."
The old woman cried bitterly. She was old and could no longer make money by her looks. She had lived a pampered life for many years and had lost her survival skills. Now she had nothing. How was she going to survive? "I will be responsible. Don't be afraid. I will support you." Father Lu coaxed her like before, and he looked sincere.
Miraculously, the old woman was coaxed into submission and said coquettishly, "Don't lie to me again. You are all I have. If you don't support me, I will die."
"No, we're going to live together forever."
"Um."
The old woman burst into laughter and looked at Mr. Lu lovingly.
Jiang Hanyan rubbed it vigorously a few times. It turned out that love brain knows no age limit. She originally felt a little sympathy for the old woman, but now she just felt that she deserved it. Even if this kind of love brain was not deceived by Lu's father, it would be deceived by others.
Lu Chen collected the money and dragged his father out.
"Don't drag me, I can walk by myself. Where are you taking me?" Father Lu shouted, feeling very panicked.
"Go to grandpa's grave."
Lu Chen answered coldly and grabbed his father by the collar and walked away. Father Lu became even more panicked and wanted not to go, but he couldn't break free.
The son dragged his father away, and soon attracted many neighbors, who followed to watch the fun. Grandpa Lu was buried on a mountain in the suburbs. Lu Chen did not drive, and his father was not worthy of riding in a car, so he had to walk over to apologize to his grandfather.
The onlookers were also very excited and followed all the way to the mountain. Many Lu families were buried here. Lu Chen pressed his father in front of Grandpa Chen's tomb, knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Grandpa, I brought my father here, and now I will carry out your will!"
