Chapter 564: Chapter 564: I Think It’s Possible
"At that time you were just in your early twenties, at your prime," Ge Guifen spoke more and more convinced of the feasibility.
Her eyes, filled with tears, brightened, "Looking at it this way, Youzhen, it seems it would be more cost-effective for you to go to prison and take all the blame."
Lu Youzhen: "..."
"Mom, if I go to prison, our family’s source of income will be gone," Lu Youzhen said. "This house was originally provided by the Lin Family for me to live in."
"But if I go to prison and am not here, the Lin Family will certainly take back the house," Lu Youzhen said. "Where would you go then? Will you live in our newly purchased house?"
"But what we bought is a new house that hasn’t yet been completed. Once we receive the house, it will still need to be renovated," Lu Youzhen said. "Do you have the money for renovations? If not, how can you live there?"
"Moreover, I have a child outside, and he still needs breast milk," Lu Youzhen said. "If I go to prison, who will feed him?"
"Seeing the situation, the Lin Family probably won’t take the child away to raise him either," Lu Youzhen scoffed. "Based on you and my brother, you think you could raise a child?"
"You both don’t have any income now. Even the Hexing Rice, you’ve handed it over to others to plant. You only get a small portion of the money, is that enough to raise a child?"
Ge Guifen was speechless.
Because what Lu Youzhen said made sense.
She couldn’t refute it.
In her anxiety, Ge Guifen racked her brain nonstop.
This was about her own interests, Ge Guifen didn’t dare to be careless.
Her CPU was about to overheat, and she finally thought of another method, "Then let Youbang go to prison!"
Lu Youbang and Lu Youzhen were both stunned.
Lu Youzhen even couldn’t help but look towards Lu Youbang.
Ge Guifen usually loved Lu Youbang the most, didn’t she?
Their family, influenced by the Lu Family’s elders, also valued males over females.
Just because the Lu Family’s elders didn’t live with them before, Lu Youzhen’s situation was much better than that of Lu Youxi.
Most of the gender inequality was borne by Lu Youxi.
But that was only relative to Lu Youxi.
Once it involved Lu Youbang’s interests or similarly beneficial circumstances, between her and Lu Youbang, Ge Guifen and Zhenjia would definitely choose Lu Youbang, even willing to sacrifice her interests.
Lu Youzhen knew too well.
It was precisely because it had always been so from childhood that Ge Guifen, at this moment, was actually willing to send Lu Youbang to prison.
To avoid going to prison herself, she would rather let her most cherished, highly-hoped-for son go to prison.
Lu Youzhen was stunned.
She looked at Lu Youbang, then at Ge Guifen.
She even felt a bit like she didn’t recognize Ge Guifen.
Was this still the Ge Guifen who always prioritized Lu Youbang in everything?
For herself, she would rather sacrifice Lu Youbang.
Lu Youzhen finally saw Ge Guifen clearly.
Apparently, Ge Guifen cared about herself above all.
Lu Youbang was just the person she cared about the most after herself.
Lu Youzhen sneered. If it weren’t for this incident, she and Lu Youbang wouldn’t have known that Ge Guifen was such a person.
She could see, even Lu Youbang seemed shocked as if his entire world had collapsed.
Lu Youbang couldn’t believe what he was hearing from Ge Guifen. "Mom, what are you saying? You want me to go to prison?"
It appeared that Ge Guifen hadn’t blurted this out impulsively.
She had genuinely considered it, and upon hearing Lu Youbang’s questioning, explained logically, "Youbang, you’re still young, just like Youzhen. You’ll still be under thirty when released. Behave well and strive for a sentence reduction. You might even get out at twenty-six or twenty-seven."
"You are the eldest son of our family. Shouldn’t you take the responsibility at times like this?" Ge Guifen said righteously. "Moreover, I am old, and Youzhen is a girl; it’s much more dangerous for her to go in."
"You’re a man, naturally, it’s a bit safer for you," Ge Guifen continued. "Besides, what was Youzhen using that money for? Wasn’t it for our family?"
At this moment, Ge Guifen no longer said the money belonged to her but changed it all to being collected by Lu Youzhen.
"That 500,000 yuan, half of it went to you for buying a house," Ge Guifen said. "Doesn’t that count as you collecting the money?"
"You say Youzhen can’t go to prison, and I’m too old. So obviously, you’re most suitable." Ge Guifen stated. "You are the eldest in the family, and it’s fitting that you bear this responsibility. Plus, you don’t earn a penny and just know how to spend the money we earn."
Ge Guifen looked at Lu Youzhen, "Youzhen, isn’t that right?"
Lu Youzhen was startled.
She never thought things would develop in this direction.
From childhood, she felt it was unfair.
Why the best things at home always had to go to Lu Youbang first.
Why every good news always thought of Lu Youbang first.
Only when something wasn’t useful to Lu Youbang, would they consider giving it to her.
What Ge Guifen had said to Lu Youbang just now made a lot of sense.
Lu Youbang had never contributed anything to the family, only knowing to ask for money, money, and more money, while never making any effort himself.
Ge Guifen had always known this but never said it, still prioritizing Lu Youbang.
Only in this kind of situation did she speak out.
This indicated that Ge Guifen had always known.
Thinking about this enraged Lu Youzhen even more.
Lu Youbang had been exploiting everyone all along; indeed, it was time for Lu Youbang to pay.
Lu Youzhen immediately revised her stance, "I think that’s possible."
"Lu Youzhen?!" Lu Youbang looked at Lu Youzhen in shock.
Their earlier conversation in the elevator hadn’t gone like this.
And he didn’t consider that his earlier phone conversation with Ge Guifen hadn’t gone like that either.
"Brother, Mom has a point this time," Lu Youzhen said. "Truth be told, you really haven’t contributed anything to the family."
"You did manage to get into Jing University, but unlike Lu Youxi, you couldn’t win a scholarship," Lu Youzhen said. "Your schooling has completely drained our family’s resources."
"And while you could have used your talent from Jing University to tutor others and earn money—enough to cover your own tuition and living expenses and even improve our family’s situation—you chose not to, still asking for money from our already impoverished family."
"You’ve never taken any responsibility before, isn’t it time you start shouldering some now?" Lu Youzhen said coldly. "Mom is right. She’s too old; going to prison would be too strenuous. And if I go to prison, who will make money for you guys?"
"Now, among the three of us, I’m the only one able to earn money and provide a good life for us," Lu Youzhen said scornfully. "If I go in, are you expected to earn money and support the family from outside?"
"Then Mom will have to go back to farming and selling Hexing Rice to support you," Lu Youzhen stated coldly.
