Chapter 234: Chapter 234: After all this time, she’s been playing us!

Back at home, a meal never contained so many delicacies.

Either it was just meat buns or just eggs.

The meat buns were saved for Old Master Lu.

The buns the rest of them ate were lucky to have even a bit of fatty meat inside.

Now that Old Master Lu was bedridden, there was no longer a need to reserve the good stuff for him.

With money at her disposal, Old Madam Lu felt she could treat herself to something better as well.

Before long, the fragrant meat buns, golden brown, crispy fried dough sticks, and flavor-infused tea eggs were served.

Old Madam Lu first savored the marinade of the tea egg, then took a sip of porridge, feeling exceptionally content.

While everything was still hot, she hurriedly consumed the meat bun and fried dough stick.

Old Madam Lu was getting older now, and her appetite was no longer what it used to be.

She would get full after eating just a little.

She had eaten quite a bit more than usual this morning, out of sheer gluttony and the rare chance to indulge in some better food.

So she ended up stuffing herself, slumping in her chair at the breakfast shop for a long time.

By the time it was 8:50, she felt it was about time to leave, patting her stomach as she walked out of the breakfast shop.

Right at 9 o’clock, she arrived at the entrance of the bank.

Since she was early, there weren’t many people inside the bank conducting business.

Old Madam Lu first went to the bathroom and sneakily pulled her bank card out from under her undershirt before heading to the counter.

She handed over her bank card and ID to the bank clerk, "Withdraw all the money from my card, and put it into a three-year fixed deposit."

Old Madam Lu had planned exactly what to do the night before.

After operating the computer for a while, the clerk said, "There’s only three yuan on your card, which isn’t enough to meet the minimum amount required for a fixed deposit."

"What?" Old Madam Lu cried out in shock, "Impossible!"

At that moment, everyone in the bank turned to look.

Old Madam Lu quickly lowered her voice, leaning close to the window, and whispered to the clerk, "Impossible, I have fifty thousand yuan on this card!"

The clerk managed to keep her expression under control, saying, "There really is only three yuan on this card."

"That can’t be! Did you transfer it out?" Old Madam Lu blurted out without thinking.

This was a very serious accusation, turning the clerk’s face somber in an instant, "I definitely wouldn’t do that, there’s only three yuan on your card."

The clerk returned the bank card and ID to the old woman, "We cannot proceed with your transaction."

"It can’t be true! I have fifty thousand yuan in there!" Old Madam Lu shouted in shock, "You stole my money!"

The clerk, at wit’s end, had no choice but to call their manager over.

When the manager heard the full story, he said sternly, "We have strict protocols here and it is absolutely impossible for us to commit such illegal and criminal acts. Moreover, we have surveillance cameras at the counters that strictly monitor our staff’s operations to prevent any malfeasance. If you continue to cause a disturbance, we are going to call the police. If it comes to that, the surveillance footage will justify us, but at that point, we will also press charges against you."

Hearing about calling the police, Old Madam Lu was struck by a sudden jolt of fear.

Because of Lu Zhenjia’s incident, Old Madam Lu now had a tremendous psychological shadow about the police.

The manager and the security guards had already surrounded Old Madam Lu.

Old Madam Lu felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice water, instantly cooling down.

"No... no need to call the police!" Old Madam Lu said as she took the bank card and pushed past the security guard to leave.

The security guard didn’t stop her.

Old Madam Lu left the bank, and a cold wind outside blew at her for a while.

She became even more composed and began to replay the event in her mind.

Finally, she realized that she might have been deceived by Lu Youxi.

"That disaster star, pah!" Old Madam Lu spat fiercely on the ground, fuming with rage, "I knew it! How could she be so kind-hearted, giving me money so readily, and such a large sum at that! She was playing me for a fool!"

"That shameless creature, deceiving her own grandmother, ignoring her own grandfather’s illness, may thunder strike her!" Old Madam Lu cursed as she walked toward the bus station, "Lu Youxi will come to no good end!"

"Lu Zhenguo, that unfilial thing, must have been in on the act with Lu Youxi to deceive me! No wonder he immediately asked about my pension as soon as he entered the door. From beginning to end, they had their eyes on my pension, not wanting to spend their own money."

Old Madam Lu felt sure that Lu Zhenguo must have known there was only three yuan in the card Lu Youxi gave her.

The father and daughter must have conspired to trick her.

"If you don’t want to give, just say it clearly, and yet they still deceived me, gaining a reputation for filial piety in the village." Old Madam Lu said through gritted teeth.

After Lu Zhenguo went to the Imperial Capital, he had also become cunning!

Old Madam Lu kept muttering until the bus back to Hexing Village arrived.

Old Madam Lu got on the bus, continuing to curse Lu Youxi without pause, "That damn wretch, raised by a dog of a mother. I hope everything she does fails miserably! I hope her internet cafe goes bankrupt, I hope Zhou Shuyan leaves her, I hope her family is ruined!"

As for the curse of her family being ruined, which included her son Lu Zhenguo, Old Madam Lu couldn’t care less.

Since Lu Zhenguo was complicit in Lu Youxi’s deception, she had nothing left to lose for Lu Zhenguo.

Old Madam Lu got off the bus cursing, clutching the bank card with only three yuan on it.

It was only upon entering the village that she remembered, "I should have taken out those three yuan!"

They would have been better than nothing!

Old Madam Lu couldn’t go back today, having offended the bank staff.

She planned to wait a few days for things to cool down before she would go back to the bank to withdraw the three yuan.

After regretting her actions, Old Madam Lu started to rue having been too extravagant with her breakfast.

Back then, she thought she was about to have fifty thousand yuan deposited into her account.

Had she known there were only three yuan on the card, she would have settled for just a bowl of porridge and a meat bun.

Old Madam Lu, pained at the loss, ended up cursing Lu Youxi and Lu Zhenguo again.

She continued ranting all the way home; as soon as she entered the yard, Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen were already waiting.

"Mom, did you go to town to withdraw money?" Ge Guifen sized up Old Madam Lu, noticing that she wasn’t holding a bag of money, "Where’s the money?"

At the mention of this, Old Madam Lu had a belly full of anger ready to vent, not even noticing something was off in Ge Guifen’s expression.

"Lu Youxi, that bitch’s spawn, deceived us all!" Old Madam Lu ranted and raved, "She did give me a bank card, but there’s only three yuan on it!"

Old Madam Lu angrily said, "I wondered why she was so willing. She didn’t wait for us to ask but took the initiative to give me a bank card. She was tricking me!"

"All this time, she’s been playing us for fools!" Old Madam Lu said loudly, making sure the neighbors could overhear what kind of good deed Lu Youxi had done.

"She said there were fifty thousand on the card, but in reality, there were only three yuan!" Old Madam Lu now came back to her senses, "I’m wondering why she handed me a card. Because to withdraw money, I had to go to town, and it was impossible to go immediately yesterday. Today when I went to withdraw money, they had already left, and even if I found out, I would have no way to hold them to account."
