The Lu family had many people but little income. With the sudden loss of two elderly people, the family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet.
Lu Weiguo had quite a bit of "bride price" in his hands.
He took out some money and said, "Hurry up and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two taels of meat. I haven't eaten meat in a long time. I'm so craving it!"
After saying this, he started to act arrogantly again: "Alas, I am still the most promising one in our family now. Without me, we wouldn't even have meat to eat. Everyone else in this family would be a beggar, eating for free and not bringing a penny home. I am the only one who brings money home!"
Li Cuihua and Lu Xue naturally didn't say anything, but just kept busy running around.
When Lu Xue thought that she could finally eat meat tonight, she couldn't help but drool. She didn't care about anything else, took the money and ticket, and ran directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat.
But Boss Lu couldn't stand hearing this.
He got angry and slapped the stool hard.
"Old Third, what do you mean? You look down on me, don't you?"
Lu Weiguo said with a forced smile, "Brother, don't say anything else, just tell me what's right! You've been living at home for a month or two, have you given home a penny? Isn't it me who pays for everything in the family, big or small, including food, oil, and salt?"
Boss Lu's eyes were filled with ridicule: "Come on, you are still a coward who relies on money given to you by women!
I say that Chen Jing is such a stupid woman. She worked so hard to save up some dowry before getting married, and now she gives it all to you. Look, what's the difference between you and a gigolo?
I say, you are so shameless that you don't even recognize your ancestors, rushing to marry someone else, taking their betrothal gifts, and marrying off in such a grand manner!"
Lu Weiguo had heard this kind of talk so many times that his ears were callused and he didn't take it to heart at all.
He picked his teeth slowly. "Come on, you freeloader, stop talking to me! Even if you want to be a gigolo, do you have what it takes? You look like a little ghost, with not a pound of flesh on your body, and you're as frail as a consumptive!"
Boss Lu stood up and said, "Say it again!"
Lu Weiguo also stood up with a sneer: "Speak now, you are allowed to talk about others, but I am not allowed to talk about you, right?"
When Lu Xue came back after cutting the meat, the two men had already started fighting again, making a mess of the whole house.
She was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that one of her brothers would target her and beat her up again.
She prepared the meat with trepidation.
Fortunately, no one noticed her in the end. She actually ate a small piece of meat when no one was paying attention. She mixed the rest of the meat broth with rice and ate it all, leaving not a drop.
Unexpectedly, before dawn the next day, all the members of the Lu family woke up with diarrhea.
"How long are you going to occupy this bathroom? Get out of here right now! I can't take this anymore!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm about to poop in my pants!"
"I really can't take it anymore, Lu Weiguo, I'm going to come in today, get out of my way!"
The entire Lu family complained bitterly, and they were all dehydrated due to diarrhea.
Especially Lu Xue, she ate the most and ate all the leftovers. Her face was pale and she was so thin that only a bag of bones was left.
"You made dinner last night. Did you not cook it cleanly? Or did you put drugs in it?"
Boss Lu was the first to lock onto Lu Xue and slapped her in the face.
Lu Xue had already run out of strength to pull, and she started crying out of grievance when she heard these words.
Seeing that her elder brother was about to hit her, she could only beg for mercy.
"Brother, I really don't dare to harbor any resentment towards you. I was just eating free meals at home, and I'm already grateful. How could I dare to retaliate against you! If I really wanted to harm you, why would I eat so much myself, and why would it be so spicy!"
She felt so sad when she thought about how she had finally managed to have a meaty meal, only to end up with diarrhea like this.
Boss Lu immediately targeted Lu Weiguo as his suspect.
He grabbed him by the collar.
"Is it you? Did you have a fight with me last night and want to harm me?"
Lu Weiguo was stunned.
He spat directly on Boss Lu's face.
"Bah! I have so much money to burn that I need equipment to harm you. You don't have a penny now. If you have diarrhea, can you not ask me for money? Will you pay me back the money you borrowed? I don't even bother to harm you!"
As for you, you just eat white rice every day, but you are still here scolding me. I think you are the one who drugged me!"
The family members blamed each other and shifted the blame to each other, and the quarrel was endless.
In the end, the family dragged their exhausted bodies to the barefoot doctor's house.
The barefoot doctor smelled the stench of feces from a distance and couldn't help but cover his nose.
"What's wrong with you? Do you have diarrhea?"
The barefoot doctor saw that these people were dehydrated and could go into shock at any time, so he was so scared that he sent them directly to the county hospital.
Many people in the village laughed at the joke.
"Isn't this the Lu family? How come everyone is like a three-year-old kid, pooping their pants!"
"No, no, no, they are all city people, how can they be the same as us country people!"
"Yeah, the way people in this city deal with diarrhea is different from us!"
The Lu family has offended many villagers and likes to show off, so many villagers have disliked them for a long time.
But he seized the opportunity and laughed at them harshly.
Along the way, several people couldn't help it and just peed in their trouser pockets.
When they arrived at the county hospital, the stench was so terrible that several medical staff couldn't help but vomit on the spot.
In the end, the family spent several hundred dollars on saline drips and medicine before they finally saved their lives.
"Are you guys doing this on purpose? Are you really wasting my money? Why should I save you?"
In order to save this family, Lu Weiguo used up all the "bride price" he had and even took out his savings of many years.
He went to his elder brother and sister to ask for money like a madman.
"It's fine if I spend money on myself, but why should I spend money on your medical treatment? Get out of here!"
Sadly, the money has already been spent.
Lu Xue pretended to be deaf and dumb, and when she saw her brother coming, she pretended to close her eyes.
Boss Lu was a little better, and he started cursing and even fighting.
In the end, the nurses and doctors in the hospital were completely fed up with this family and wanted to kick them out immediately.
Lu Weiguo recovered from his stomachache, but when he was fighting with Boss Lu, he almost broke his leg and limped for a long time.
On the last day in the hospital, Chen Jing suddenly came to me with a nervous look on her face.
"Weiguo, I want to tell you a piece of good news!"
