Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Do You Still Want Me to Live?

Ge Guifen could see that Old Madam Lu had already had enough of Old Master Lu.

Now seeing that Old Master Lu had a stroke, he definitely wouldn’t recover well.

He would have to spend the rest of his days in bed, and no matter how poorly Old Madam Lu acted, Old Master Lu wouldn’t be able to fight back.

So, Old Madam Lu stopped holding back and revealed her true colors.

"Fine, I’ll clean up the storage room right now. I’ll move things aside, make some space for a bed, and move Dad there," Ge Guifen said, indicating that she didn’t plan to clear out the room entirely.

Clearing just enough space for one bed would suffice.

Old Madam Lu had no objections and even helped Ge Guifen organize it, setting up the same single wooden bed that Lu Youxi used to sleep in, placing it in the storage room.

The items in the storage room had originally been chaotically strewn about.

Now, they were tidied up slightly, pushed against the walls to make space in the center for a small bed, still allowing someone to walk through.

Ge Guifen, along with Old Madam Lu, moved Old Master Lu there.

During the move, Old Master Lu’s eyes were wide open, staring at them intently, full of hatred.

These two not only did not treat his illness but also treated him like trash in the storeroom!

"I’ll go to town tomorrow and buy a few packs of diapers to put under Dad," Ge Guifen said.

This way, they wouldn’t need to help Old Master Lu to the bathroom anymore.

Listening to this, Old Master Lu felt a wave of darkness wash over his mind, furious as his condition seemingly worsened.

When Lu Youzhen got home in the evening and learned about Old Master Lu’s stroke, she just casually acknowledged it without any particular reaction.

Not only was she not worried about Old Master Lu, but she was also concerned about something else, "What about your trip to the Imperial Capital then?"

Ge Guifen said, "Mom, it looks like you have to stay and take care of Dad. We can’t just leave him alone at home without anyone to look after him or provide food."

"That way, you stay and look after Dad, and I’ll go to the Imperial Capital to find big sister. Don’t worry, everything will be handled smoothly and neatly. Whatever you guys discussed beforehand, whatever you need, I’ll make sure to get it for you," said Ge Guifen.

Old Madam Lu immediately knew something was off, as they hadn’t discussed anything with Ge Guifen before.

Originally, neither she nor Old Master Lu had planned to include Ge Guifen; they were only thinking of going to the Imperial Capital themselves.

After all, Lu Youzhen was still in school, so Ge Guifen couldn’t just leave Lu Youzhen here and go to the Imperial Capital alone, right?

Lu Youzhen couldn’t even cook; left alone at home, she might starve.

Hence, in their chat last night about their grand plans for the future, neither Ge Guifen nor Lu Youzhen had been included.

So, when had this discussion Ge Guifen mentioned taken place?

Old Madam Lu immediately figured out that Ge Guifen must be trying to deceive her.

Now that Old Master Lu was bedridden, Ge Guifen thought she was easy to bully and deceive, huh!

Old Madam Lu was not comfortable letting Ge Guifen go.

If Ge Guifen went, she would only seek benefits for herself and Lu Youbang, without caring about anyone else.

In that scenario, all the benefits would go to Ge Guifen and Lu Youbang, and she would still end up dying in Hexing Village.

When Old Madam Lu realized this, she immediately said, "You can’t go."

Ge Guifen instantly became upset, raising her voice, "Why can’t I go? Given our current situation, someone has to go, right?"

"You’re just her aunt, if you go, what could big sister possibly agree to? You guys don’t have a good relationship in the first place. Forget big sister not caring about you, even Zhenguo and his wife wouldn’t take you seriously. You’re just their relative by marriage, you can’t command respect or influence over them."

"Do you think you can create a scene like me?" Old Madam Lu’s mind was unusually sharp at this moment, "I’m telling you, it’s useless if you do."

"Making a scene would only look like jealous poor relatives, causing a fuss to get benefits. Apart from embarrassing Youbang, you wouldn’t achieve anything. Lu Youxi would call the police on you without hesitation," Old Madam Lu said loudly.

Ge Guifen’s face changed.

She hadn’t thought that far.

She had only thought that since Old Master Lu was paralyzed, Old Madam Lu would definitely have to stay home to care for him.

She definitely couldn’t let Old Madam Lu go to the Imperial Capital alone.

So, she had rushed to say she would go herself.

But she hadn’t expected Old Madam Lu to be able to analyze the situation so logically.

"So, I have to be the one to go," Old Madam Lu, seeing that Ge Guifen couldn’t find any reason to argue back, felt empowered and confidently said, raising her head high, "I’m her grandmother, and Zhenguo is filial. Just my mere presence can exert enough pressure on them, and it won’t drag Youbang down."

"Moreover, I’m old. If I lie down at her internet cafe’s entrance or her residential area’s entrance, who would dare touch me? If something bad happened to me, I’d make them pay!" Old Madam Lu said fiercely and arrogantly.

"I am her grandmother, and Lu Zhenguo’s mother. Will they dare to arrest me? Afraid someone would criticize them?" Old Madam Lu said loudly, "Even if they really called the police, at my old age, stirring up a family issue, would the police even arrest me?"

Ge Guifen thought to herself, old fox, old fox, it’s exactly Old Madam Lu this phrase refers to.

Seeing that Ge Guifen seemed to be at a loss for words, Old Madam Lu smiled triumphantly, saying, "So, I’m the best option for going."

"And, I’ve been to Imperial Capital before, I’m quite familiar with it. You don’t have to worry about me going alone," Old Madam Lu added.

Ge Guifen thought to herself she couldn’t care less; it would be best if she died out there.

"Mom, you also said you’re old; I definitely wouldn’t feel comfortable with you traveling alone," Ge Guifen said.

"Pah!" Old Madam Lu spat in disgust, glaring at Ge Guifen, "What do you mean by ’traveling?’ It sounds so ominous! You must be cursing me!"

Traveling, as if talking about heading towards death.

Ge Guifen rolled her eyes, thinking that the old are indeed sensitive to such matters.

"Anyway, you’re old, and I wouldn’t feel at ease with you going to Imperial Capital alone. That’s truly one reason," Ge Guifen didn’t engage in nitpicking over words and phrases with Old Madam Lu, "Secondly, if you leave, leaving me here with father-in-law alone, it wouldn’t sound right if it got out! With Zhenguo not at home, any rumors in the village, would you still want me to live?"

Old Madam Lu: "..."

She couldn’t believe Ge Guifen could even think of that excuse.

"Your father-in-law is now paralyzed in bed and can’t move, what rumors could possibly arise? And isn’t Youzhen still here?" Old Madam Lu argued.

"That still won’t work; Youzhen is just a child, how could anyone believe her word? It might even seem like she’s covering up for me," Ge Guifen yelled, "Either way, you can’t leave me alone with father-in-law."
