Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Zhou Shuyan Admires Lu Youxi’s Acting from the Sidelines

Lu Zhenguo pursed his lips tightly, and it took him a long while to relax them, "This time I went, I could see clearly. Actually, both your grandmother and your aunt have money, but none of them is willing to take it out for your grandfather’s treatment."

"Actually, I didn’t agree with you taking out the money this time. They have money but don’t use it, why should you take out the money?"

Lu Youxi was really surprised that Lu Zhenguo would say such a thing, quite unexpectedly.

In fact, she also had some complaints about Lu Zhenguo.

Lu Zhenguo, indecisive as he was, indeed from his perspective, they were his parents, and he couldn’t ignore them.

But for Lu Youxi, Liu Yushu, and Lu Youxue.

Lu Zhenguo’s way of doing things was truly infuriating.

"What... what can I do if I don’t take out the money?" Lu Youxi wanted to hear Lu Zhenguo’s thoughts.

"I was initially planning to go and see the situation first, to confirm whether they had money or not. Today, your grandmother let slip that she does have the money to treat your grandfather. So, I was planning to have you and Xiao Zhou return to the Imperial Capital first, and I would stay there. I’d make sure to watch your grandmother until she took out the money."

Lu Youxi thought about it and said, "Let it go, you also said that this would be the last time. It saves you the trouble of staying there too. We have done what we could, and it’s good as long as we have a clear conscience."

Lu Zhenguo nodded, then continued, "This money, you can deduct it from my salary. Anyway, I usually have no place to spend money. Aside from our monthly living expenses, you can deduct two thousand yuan from my salary, and that would add up to twenty-four thousand in a year. In just over two years, I can pay off the fifty thousand yuan."

"Father, we’re a family, what are you talking about, deducting from your salary," Lu Youxi said, "No need to deduct your salary, but let me say it upfront, this matter was started by you, you were the one who made a stand, so no matter what happens to my grandparents in the future, we don’t need to interfere, nor do we need to take out money again."

Lu Zhenguo nodded.

"I need your stance on this matter, and then I won’t feel wronged about the money taken out this time," Lu Youxi said earnestly, "Since you were the one who made the stand first, the next time something happens and they have money but refuse to spend it and still want to take money from me, that’s absolutely impossible. If I don’t help, don’t blame me for being unfilial."

Zhou Shuyan admired Lu Youxi’s acting from the side.

The young girl had only taken out three yuan this time, yet spoke as if she really had given out fifty thousand yuan.

If he hadn’t just learned the truth from Lu Youxi, he might have been fooled as well.

Lu Zhenguo sighed and said, "That won’t happen."

"I know, you help reluctantly time after time out of consideration for me," Lu Zhenguo sighed, "I am aware of how tough it is for you, and I know exactly how much money we have at home. It wasn’t easy to save a bit, and now it’s been given away again."

"Don’t worry, no matter what happens in the future, you don’t have to help. I am the one saying this. Not just you, even I won’t bother," Lu Zhenguo declared, "Your mom is right, if all family members were good, we would naturally help each other. But they... your mom could sever ties with her father’s family, and so can I."

"We can’t let them bully us time after time just because you are reasonable, letting them take advantage of you."

Lu Youxi really didn’t expect Lu Zhenguo to say such a thing.

Regarding the act of deceiving Lu Zhenguo, Lu Youxi felt somewhat guilty.

"Youxi," Lu Zhenguo suddenly called out.

Lu Youxi looked over, and Lu Zhenguo said, "You actually have some complaints about me too, right?"

"There are complaints, but I can understand. It’s just that if you really come to terms with it, it would be a lot easier for me, mom, and Youxue," Lu Youxi said honestly.

To say there were none would be too false.

Lu Zhenguo nodded heavily with a somber mood, "I understand."

Lu Youxi hoped that this time would genuinely be the last time that Lu Zhenguo could come to terms with it.

Now, about Old Madam Lu.

After Lu Youxi and the others left, Ge Guifen couldn’t wait to say to Old Madam Lu, "Mom, let’s go into town and take out the money!"

"Keeping it there, we can even earn interest!" Ge Guifen said, her gaze falling on the position of the inner pocket of Old Madam Lu’s clothes.

Although it was not visible, her gaze accurately found the spot.

"Ugh!" As soon as Old Master Lu heard on the bed that they had been given so much money by Lu Youxi, yet they still didn’t plan to spend it on his treatment, he became furious, his eyes filling with blood in anger.

Old Master Lu’s voice also reminded Old Madam Lu and Ge Guifen of his existence.

Old Madam Lu immediately said disdainfully, "Quick, move him back to the storage room, he’s stunk up my room!"

Ge Guifen was still thinking about Old Madam Lu’s money and didn’t hurry to move Old Master Lu, "Mom, take out the card first."

"Let’s move this old man first, then we can talk about the money," Old Madam Lu insisted.

Ge Guifen had no choice but to agree, and together with Old Madam Lu, they moved Old Master Lu back to the storage room.

Their commotion was quite loud, and as Old Madam Lu was old and hard of hearing, she shouted loudly as she spoke.

Ge Guifen was also used to being fierce and had a loud voice as well.

Their words and noise could be heard by neighbors on both sides.

At home, they whispered about the sin being committed.

Old Master Lu had done no good in the past, and now as he became ill, retribution had come.

Old Madam Lu had already had money before and was not willing to spend it on his treatment.

Lu Youxi had given them fifty thousand yuan, and still, Old Madam Lu wasn’t willing to pay for Old Master Lu’s treatment, clearly planning to keep the money for herself.

And once again, they placed Old Master Lu in the storage room.

Such an environment was no place for a patient.

Even if left untreated, he might have lived a couple more years, but suffering in the storage room, he probably wouldn’t last much longer.

Old Madam Lu and Ge Guifen moved Old Master Lu back to the storage room and then took off his pants to place an incontinence pad underneath.

Old Master Lu couldn’t move and could only let them manipulate him. His legs were bare without any covering, but they handled him as if he were an object, their faces expressing no change and not treating him like a person at all.

Old Madam Lu also opened the windows and doors of the room for ventilation, changing the bed linen, quilt cover, and pillow with clean ones.

The original ones were thrown into a basin to soak, waiting for Ge Guifen to wash them.

Ge Guifen pouted and said, "Mom, can we go into town now?"

Old Madam Lu looked at the sky and made an excuse, "It’s too late now, there won’t be any return cars from town. Let’s go tomorrow."

Ge Guifen was preoccupied with the fifty thousand yuan and had overlooked the time, so she nodded, "That’s okay."

Old Madam Lu saw she had temporarily appeased Ge Guifen and quietly sighed in relief.

When she returned to her room at night, the foul odor had dissipated.

Old Madam Lu took out a needle and thread from the drawer and sewed a pocket inside her undershirt, not caring if it would scratch her skin or be uncomfortable to wear; what mattered was safety.
