Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child
Chapter 424 My Mom is the Heroine of the Abusive Story 18
The assets under Lu's father's name were all seized and used to pay off debts, like sand scattered by a strong wind.
He, who was once a powerful figure who controlled the economic lifeline of the Lu family, is now like a living dead man, so angry that he can't move his head and has to eat, drink and relieve himself in bed.
The economic collapse left him unable to even afford a caregiver, and his children, who were once by his side, now turned their backs on him out of past resentment.
His children provided only the bare minimum for his retirement, hired a caregiver, and then abandoned him in a dilapidated rental room.
Seeing that Lu's father had no one to support him, the nanny beat and scolded him every day.
Lu's mother hated Lu's father for his heartlessness and ingratitude, so she had no interest in him whatsoever.
The reason she deliberately appealed to the court and left Lu's father to his illegitimate children was because she wanted to see them fight like dogs.
The three illegitimate children originally wanted to go abroad to continue their carefree lives, but before they even boarded the plane, the money that should have been transferred overseas disappeared without a trace.
Now penniless, all they have left are a few pieces of valuable jewelry and clothes in a small suitcase. They could sell them to support themselves for a while, but this amount is far from enough for the three who are used to a good life.
In order to make a living, they had to try to go out and work.
Unfortunately, they are disabled, either blind or missing limbs, and even with good education, no company is willing to hire them.
The three of them worked in vain for a while, and apart from being laughed at by a group of rich second-generation people who were once familiar with the Lu family, it was of no use at all.
In the end, they had no choice but to leave City A dejectedly and struggle to make a living in another city.
As for Lu's father...
Although Lu's mother would occasionally come to see his miserable state for the sake of her own peace of mind, the fact that he was bedridden actually made the nanny more restrained and prevent her from truly killing him.
Judging from his appearance, he can probably only live on for another twenty or thirty years.
Lu Yihuai, who is in prison, has been sentenced to life imprisonment. It seems that he can only dream of regaining his freedom in this lifetime.
As for the Zeng family's previous plan to grant him medical parole, it could not be implemented due to his interference at the time.
Unless Lu Yihuai's mental condition becomes severely abnormal in prison, he can be sent to a specialized judicial psychiatric hospital for treatment while serving his sentence.
This is also a major reason why Lu's mother hated Lu's father so much.
In order to make her son's life better in prison, Lu's mother's family repeatedly demanded the depletion of the little assets she had left after the divorce.
Lu's mother initially wanted to refuse, but whenever she expressed this thought, news would come that Lu Yihuai had provoked others in prison and was beaten in return. There were even absurd rumors that he had a mental breakdown, blinded himself in one eye, and broke his own arms and legs.
Lu's mother naturally didn't believe all of these things, after all, she knew better than anyone whether her son had a mental illness or not.
But she had no choice; for her son's sake, she could only repeatedly send things to her parents' home or to the prison.
As the days went by, apart from the small apartment she now lived in, which was less than 50 square meters, Lu's mother only had tens of thousands of yuan left in her bank account.
She had considered pleading with her parents and brothers, but the Zeng family, who used to let her come and go as she pleased, now wouldn't even let her enter the community gate. The family ties and conveniences of the past had long since vanished.
The down-on-her-luck Lu's mother can no longer live the life of a wealthy lady in luxury as she did in her previous life.
Now, she can only find a job as a sales assistant while taking care of her "grandson".
Even though she was ashamed of being stared at by her former "sisterhood" from time to time, she could only grit her teeth and rely on her years of experience and eye for fashion to match clothes for customers, earning a meager wage to support herself and her grandson.
With nowhere to vent her resentment, Lu's mother naturally took it out on her "grandson."
At home, she would find all sorts of ways to torment the child, pricking him with needles, twisting his arms, and often not feeding him, deliberately starving him.
As a result, the child named "Gousheng" is now over a year old, but due to malnutrition, he still cannot speak or walk and can only crawl on the ground.
Lu Yihuai was also in great pain when his "son" was being abused. It wasn't that he had any fatherly affection for that monster, but rather that he and the monster shared the same senses.
If the other party suffers, Lu Yihuai in prison will suffer ten or a hundred times more.
This is also a factor that led the prison to confirm that he suffered from a mental disorder.
Unfortunately, every time Lu's mother visited him in prison, Lu Yihuai wanted to tell her what had happened, but he couldn't bring himself to say the truth. He could only indirectly hint to his mother to treat the child well.
However, when Lu's mother saw that her son didn't care about her situation when they met, and only talked about his grandson, even though she agreed verbally, she felt increasingly uncomfortable. She even blamed their current predicament on this "grandson" and tormented him even more.
……
Just as the Lu family was struggling to survive amidst the bitter winds and rain, the Pei family's situation was equally dire. One misfortune after another, like a surging tide, relentlessly impacted this family that once held sway over City A.
Although the mother and son from the first wife miraculously survived the terrifying car accident, it seemed as if fate had pronounced another cruel punishment upon them:
They will spend the rest of their lives in wheelchairs, their eyes and mouths crooked. Their former vitality and energy have vanished without a trace, like withered leaves swept away by the wind.
Every morning when I wake up, I am faced with unchangeable physical constraints and endless despair for the future.
Uncle Pei, who was also in the same car accident, suffered a severe head injury.
Even as his physical body gradually recovered, his mental world collapsed. He was often troubled by hallucinations, as if trapped in a nightmare from which he could not escape.
In that illusory scene, the second son and his wife, whom they had killed, always hovered around him like ghosts, their eyes filled with resentment, as if they wanted to drag him into an endless abyss.
These horrifying images terrified Uncle Pei, keeping him awake at night and making him extremely nervous. Even the most basic self-care became a luxury.
Not to mention that he continued to control the company's business, and his former grand business plans vanished in an instant.
Aunt Pei, who was still basking in the joy of effortlessly seizing control of the company from her elder brother, was betrayed by her husband.
The scandal of extramarital affair exploded in the public eye like a bombshell.
Various obscene videos and photos flooded the internet, and even paternity tests of several children were displayed in the live stream, exposing her shameful deeds in full.
Her reputation was instantly ruined, and the reputation of the Pei Group was also greatly affected because of her.
Amidst the uproar, the board of directors had no choice but to dismiss her from her position. The once glamorous Aunt Pei could only slink away at home, tasting the bitter fruit of her own actions.
Pei Xiaoshu, who had been hiding behind the scenes and secretly plotting his rise to power, thought that his day had finally come.
However, fate played a cruel joke on him.
Because of his promiscuous private life, he was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, shattering his beautiful dream and plunging him into deep fear and despair.
Amidst this series of unforeseen events, Old Master Pei was exhausted and had no choice but to place his hopes on Shao Linshen, who had recently shown excellent performance, hoping that he could take on the role of president, turn the tide, and save the Pei Group from its dire straits.
But Shaolin Shen resolutely refused, as if he had no attachment to the family's disputes and responsibilities.
Then, a dramatic scene unfolded.
Xiao Wenhan, the uncle who had already divorced Aunt Pei, made a high-profile appearance at the board meeting, holding shares from both the first and second wives' families.
With this slight advantage, he successfully took the position of president.
When Old Master Pei saw the shares that his uncle had taken over, his anger erupted like a volcano, and he suffered a stroke on the spot and was rushed to the hospital.
Uncle Pei, who thought he had everything, soon discovered that the Pei Group was just an empty shell.
Not only were the original funds embezzled, but serious issues of tax evasion were also discovered, prompting relevant departments to conduct on-site investigations.
Meanwhile, the leak of internal secrets also severely shrank the group's business.
A once-great business empire burst like a bubble in the blink of an eye, leaving only a small company that barely manages to stay afloat.
The Pei family, which once dominated City A with a single stomp of their feet, can now barely support their entire family.
-
Meanwhile, in a hospital ward.
Having regained some of his composure, the old man thought long and hard and finally realized the crux of the matter.
He hurriedly sent people to find Shao Linshen, hoping to find a way to save the Pei family from him.
However, after searching all the places Shaolin and Shenzhen frequented in City A, they couldn't find him anywhere. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth overnight.
Finally, it was the security guard at the cemetery where the second wife and her husband's graves were located who provided the clue.
According to the security guard, he saw Shao Linshen enter the cemetery.
The Pei family rushed to the cemetery and, sure enough, found a quietly blooming bunch of chrysanthemums and a letter hidden underneath the tombstones of the second son and his wife.
The gist of the letter is that he can no longer get along with his uncles and aunts, and he wants to find his childhood dream, travel around the world, and seek poetry and distant places.
He also told the Pei family not to come looking for him again.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Old Master Pei felt a mix of emotions, and endless regret almost overwhelmed him.
If he had known the Pei family would end up like this, he shouldn't have deliberately concealed the truth for the sake of the family's reputation, letting his eldest brother and the others run wild, which led to the Pei family ending up in this state.
But he did it for the sake of his family!
Why can't this kid understand his own predicament?
The old man, who was originally over seventy years old and still very energetic, suddenly looked more than ten years older at this moment, as if he was about to die and could no longer muster any energy.
The Pei family, a once incredibly glorious clan.
After a series of upheavals, it finally declined, leaving behind only endless sighs and memories, which gradually faded away in the long river of time...
………………Replenish………………………
...A new chapter...
...A new chapter...
...A new chapter...
In his hazy consciousness, before Shao Linshen could even open his eyes and wake up, he heard rustling voices around him:
"Big sister, this is all your fault. If you hadn't angered Dad, he wouldn't have been unconscious for so long."
"That's right. These past two days, with Dad being out of the house, we sisters have had to do so much more work."
"Hmph, you guys are lucky. I've been scolded by Grandma three times in the last two days. If Dad doesn't wake up soon, Grandma and the others might start hitting us."
Several clear, crisp female voices rose and fell, all carrying a tone of complaint.
Then, a slightly older, more mature female voice rang out.
"Why are you blaming me?"
"It's all because Dad has a bad temper. I just talked back to him a few times, and he couldn't take it and collapsed, vomiting blood."
The voice carried a hint of disdain, as if it felt that it hadn't done anything wrong, and that the fault lay entirely with the person who had coughed up blood and collapsed.
Even her adoptive grandparents agreed to let her go back to her own mother, but this good-for-nothing kept making excuses and refused to agree. If Shao Daya hadn't been afraid of getting the bad reputation of causing her adoptive father's death, she wouldn't have wanted to enter this dilapidated woodshed.
She saw the broken bowl that Shao Er Ya had brought in, reached out and took it, but found that the medicine in the bowl was cold. Looking down for a closer look, she saw that the medicine was so clear that it seemed to have been diluted with water.
Her face darkened, and she scolded:
"Er Ya, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to go to the kitchen and brew medicine for Dad? Is this how you try to fool me?"
That brat dared to bring in the dregs of last medicine mixed with water, without even bothering to heat them up with a torch.
Shao Er Ya rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and said defiantly:
"I'm already being nice by bringing the medicine in for you, and you're still being picky. Don't you want to do it yourself?"
This bastard brought in from outside is really putting on airs in front of her.
If it weren't for Grandma telling them that this brat was worth five taels of silver, she wouldn't have bothered coming in to see this person's attitude.
Shao Daya saw the disdain in the other person's eyes and was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him, but was pushed away by Shao Sanya who was standing next to her.
"What do you want to do?"
"You brought this mess on yourself. Since Dad fainted, it's your responsibility to take care of him. What, you can't argue with someone, so you want to hit them?"
Even if she and her second sister were not the best off, they were still sisters born of the same mother, so they were naturally closer than Daya and Siya. Seeing that her second sister was about to be bullied, Shao Sanya naturally had to stand up for her.
"You, you guys... fine, fine, I can't argue with you."
"If you don't want to stay inside, then get out of here. Don't just stand there and get in the way."
Shao Daya glared at them angrily with a dark face. Although she complained that they were doing something inhumane, she didn't even try to move her buttocks when asked to brew the medicine again.
She looked at her adoptive father lying on the bed, his face ashen and still unconscious. A hint of impatience flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand, grabbed his chin, and forced the medicine into his eyes.
Unfortunately, the person on the bed was unconscious and naturally couldn't swallow. Before the man could swallow the medicine in the rough bowl, most of it flowed down his chin onto the pillow and into his collar.
With a look of disgust, Shao Daya released her grip on the man's chin, put the bowl on the stool next to her, shook her wet hands on the ground, and found that the man on the bed was breathing normally. So, like the three girls who had just left, she turned around and left.
