Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Mother Lu stroked Lu Yi's long hair and said, "In your grandmother's heart, I am an outsider. You are my daughter, and because your last name is Lu, you are half an outsider to her. As for Taro, he is a boy, so he has a little more face in your grandmother's eyes, that's all."

Seeing that Lu's mother didn't intend to speak again, Lu Yi pulled her arm and sat closer.

"Mom, is that all?"

"What else do you want to hear? I can't say bad things about your grandma in front of you, right?" Mother Lu pinched the tip of Lu Yi's nose and said in a doting tone.

"What about the money they borrowed? Don't you want them to pay it back?"

The corners of Lu's mother's mouth froze, and she sighed slightly, "If they don't return it, I don't want them to return it either."

"what?"

"Don't be fooled by your father's height. He looks like a straightforward man. In fact, he has always been resentful of your grandmother's preference for your uncle."

Mother Lu's eyes flickered, and her voice was tinged with a hint of mockery. "As long as your grandma waves her hand, he will always be at a disadvantage, but he will never forget his mistakes and keep trying to get ahead! At a time like this, he won't even remember his family."

Lu Yi suddenly realized, "That's why you never quarreled with them."

Mother Lu nodded, and with a lighthearted remark, she brushed off the hardships she had endured. "Back then, when our family needed money, your father couldn't even get a dime. You and I suffered a lot, and you almost... Well, you didn't remember much back then, so you probably don't remember it."

Her voice suddenly turned cold, "But I remember it, and your father remembers it too."

"This thorn is stuck here. If your father can't forget it, he won't be embarrassed to stick up for the cold butt, and our family can live a peaceful life."

"Mom, how much is that money?"

"Fourteen yuan and thirty cents, that was more than twenty years ago." Lu's mother said the specific amount of the loan without hesitation.

Wasn't that the 1950s? Even now, especially in the countryside, that's definitely not a small amount of money! Lu Yi looked at Lu's mother with admiration.

"Silly child, your mother isn't just fighting for face." She paused and jokingly said, "Believe it or not, if I go to your grandmother with a kitchen knife and make trouble, she'll pay the money back, and your father will be so guilty that he'll die. Our family might even have to pay out even more."

"Life is always muddled. If you really want to make a clear distinction, it will easily hurt the relationship between husband and wife. Don't blame your father, he loves you. Aside from being a little vague about the relationship between mother and son, there's nothing else to complain about!"

Mother Lu continued, "I've told you so much because I hope you'll learn from my mistakes and not follow my old path. I just want you to live a good life, a better life than me!"

Lu Yi felt a lump in her throat when she saw the sincerity in her mother's eyes. She stood up and searched her pockets.

When he put his hand in and took it out, he found a stack of bills in his palm.

"You... you're carrying so much money around with you, aren't you afraid of losing it? Isn't there a big box you gave me as a dowry? Why don't you lock it up? It's so unsafe to carry it around!"

Lu Yi glanced at the bill he had just taken out of the space, smiled, and handed it to Lu's mother, "Mom, this is the money I earned from selling ginseng. It's all for you!"

"What do I need your money for? Take it back." Mother Lu pushed Lu Yi's hand and refused to take it no matter what.

After two rounds of pushing, Lu Yi changed the subject and began to reason: "Mom, the two hundred yuan I have is enough. Add to that the money from selling ginseng, and I have too much money. What if I accidentally lose some, what if I get cheated, what if I spend it all at once..."

Lu Yi opened his mouth to give an example, but the next second all the money in his hand was in the hands of Lu's mother.

"Whose daughter is like you? What if something unexpected happens? Your mother is so panicked just hearing this."

Lu Yi burst out laughing.

"Still laughing!" Mother Lu glanced at Lu Yi and counted the money twice. "How come there are both small and large amounts in this ginseng money?"

She started counting for the third time.

"I already said that the things in the backpack were the money from selling ginseng, so there are both small and large amounts."

Mother Lu put the money in order and said, "I'll keep this for you. It's one hundred and twenty-two yuan and twenty cents in total. Is that right?"

Lu Yi didn't expect that he could get three twos with just a casual grab. "Yeah, that's right! Mom, this money is for you to spend. You don't have to keep it for me."

"Ginseng is really valuable. You are not allowed to go into the mountains anymore. Do you hear me?!" Mother Lu sighed to herself as if she didn't hear anything. When she turned around and spoke, her tone became even more fierce.

Lu Yi stood up and said in a long voice: "I know."

It was almost time, and Lu Yu also came back. Lu's mother touched Lu Yi's back and gently pushed her, "Go back, don't worry about us too much... Come back often."

"Okay." Lu Yi walked out. She knew without any hesitation that the second half of the sentence was what Lu's mother really wanted to say.

A quick glance at the Jiang family's rooms revealed that every room was pitch black, with only a faint light coming from the utility room. If one listened carefully, one could even hear the crying of a child.

Lu Yi glanced at him indifferently, then went straight back to his room, washed up and went to bed.

"Brother, I can't cry anymore. That woman is too lazy to pay attention to us."

Yuan Danniu huddled in the corner of the utility room, rubbing her aching throat and looking weakly at Yuan Zifan, "They didn't even call us for dinner. Brother, why should we be reborn? I think this is even worse than our last life!"

Yuan Zifan pulled the corner of his mouth, staring at the door with gloomy eyes, "Yeah, I've lived my entire life and never been hungry twice, and now it's so bad! I've been wondering, did we really exist in our previous life? Was it real? Why are we in such a miserable situation now?"

Yuan Danniu was so hungry that she couldn't think straight. "I told you that lock was hard to open, but you insisted on fighting with it. Now, I don't know what they'll do to us tomorrow."

Yuan Zifan frowned and glanced at Yuan Danniu, but still patiently explained, "There's a big unity in the drawer. That woman has more than just this little money. Are you willing to take this little and leave?"

"Without capital, even if I have extraordinary talent, I can't make a name for myself in the business world! Let alone earn money to support your education!"

"We've searched everywhere she's hidden her money, but we can't find it. It must be in the dowry box. Unfortunately, I haven't learned how to pick a lock, and I couldn't open it after groping for a long time. I was caught red-handed for nothing."

Yuan Zifan reviewed the situation in his mind and sighed deeply.

Yuan Danu pursed her lips and said, "Brother, I don't mean to blame you. Please don't blame me, okay? I just... I just feel uncomfortable. I won't accept it! I... I'm still a little scared."

"Okay." Yuan Zifan said, "We are just children now. Tomorrow you can just cry. If they want to hit or scold you, I will take the blame for you."
