Chapter 383 A Showdown Leads to a Fight
Fang Qing felt she had won, and she acted arrogantly, as if to say, "What can that old man do to me?"
“My mother herself said that at her age, as long as it keeps her warm, she can just buy whatever she wants. She spent a lot of money on her eye treatment, so she wants to save some money.”
"And Dad, don't you know how much money your illness has cost? You're saying I spent money, but you've spent far more than me, and I haven't said anything to you, yet you're criticizing me."
"Is this about how much money it costs?" Lu Cong was furious. "You think you can justify lying?"
"Oh, it's not about money. Then why did you say I spent too much?"
"You..." Lu Cong was so angry that his heart ached, and he clutched his chest tightly.
Lu Jiangting said in a deep voice, "Fang Qing, stop talking."
Fang Qing had been holding back her frustration for months, and now that she had this to say, she couldn't control her emotions at all.
Ignoring Lu Jiangting's advice, she blurted out all the things she had kept bottled up inside and wanted to say countless times.
What do you mean by "the old couple's burden"? The three of them were living a good life, but after these two came, in order to save money, they had no choice but to move into this dilapidated house that was about to be demolished.
Lu Jiangting's salary, plus Chenchen's subsidy, plus her salary, totaled more than three hundred yuan.
The family of three was living quite comfortably on those three hundred yuan. She could buy clothes that cost fifty yuan whenever she wanted, and eat meat whenever she wanted. They could eat more than they could finish every day, so there was no need for her to be frugal.
It's all because of those two old geezers; they ruined her perfectly good life the moment they arrived.
She had been suppressing her feelings for too long; she had been holding it in for months, almost reaching her limit, so she couldn't hold back any longer.
At this moment, Fang Qing seemed to be under a spell, and blurted out all the things she would never dare to say otherwise.
The family was furious at her words. The old man clutched his chest, the old woman rolled her eyes, and Lu Jiangting's eyes were bloodshot.
At this moment, Lu Jiangting finally couldn't hold back and slapped Fang Qing.
"enough."
If we let her keep talking, her parents will be driven crazy.
The sound was so loud that even those eavesdropping outside the door could hear it.
"Oh, Lu Jiangting, that bastard, is also a domestic abuser."
Fang Qing covered her face, looking at him in disbelief. "You hit me? Jianjun never even dared to hit me, and you hit me?"
Lu Jiangting was trembling with anger and lost his temper; otherwise, he wouldn't have slapped her.
Fang Qing, who had been slapped by him, broke down and started scratching and grabbing him like a shrew.
"You dare hit me? I'll fight you to the death if you dare hit me."
How could Lu Cong bear to see his son being bullied? As soon as Fang Qing made a move, he started cursing incessantly.
"Oh dear, they've started fighting! They've started fighting!" Yi Yunshuo outside was also very excited.
Wang Cuilan couldn't see, but she could hear the commotion as if her son had been wronged, so she hurriedly pushed her old man.
"What are they doing? Old man, stop yelling and go help them!"
Lu Cong was pushed out by the old lady to help, but he was already in poor health and had to use a cane to walk, so how could he help?
He rushed forward angrily, only to be knocked out by Fang Qing in an instant.
In this family, the person Fang Qing disliked the most was this old man who was neither dead nor alive. How could she let go of an opportunity that was offered to her?
He immediately kicked the old man hard.
With that kick, the old man fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Originally, Lu Jiangting didn't intend to retaliate. He thought that since he couldn't help but slap Fang Qing, he might as well let her scratch him a few times.
Unexpectedly, she showed no mercy when kicking the old man, sending him sprawling to the ground howling in pain.
Lu Jiangting immediately flew into a rage, slapping Fang Qing aside again before turning to help Lu Cong.
“If anything happens to my father, we will get a divorce.”
Fang Qing had regained consciousness by then, and was also frightened. She covered her face, opened her mouth, but didn't dare to make a sound.
Not far away, Wang Chenchen was stunned by their presence. Her small body trembled, and she stood silently in the corner, unable to utter a single word.
"Dad, Dad, how are you?"
As Lu Cong listened to what Lu Jiangting had just said, he wondered if his son could finally get rid of this woman if he died.
This vicious woman cannot be allowed to live; she absolutely cannot be allowed to live.
Otherwise, once he dies, his son and wife will be bullied to death by her.
Thinking this, he pulled Lu Jiangting and said, "Son, let her kick me to death."
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. Tell me where you're not feeling well."
Lu Cong shook his head and said, "I'm serious. Don't you always feel like you owe her a life? I'm giving her my old life. Son, you're young and promising, with a bright future ahead of you. You shouldn't fall for a woman like her."
Fang Qing was stunned by these words. When she looked up, she met Lu Jiangting's resentful expression.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt completely flustered.
I wondered if this old geezer was serious.
He had cancer and was already near death; she didn't need to carry such a burden.
Thinking about this, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have kicked the old man, at least not in front of Lu Jiangting.
"Dad, I didn't mean it. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? You should go to the hospital to get checked out. I... I'll pay for it." Fang Qing generously tried to smooth things over.
The old man didn't care about that at all. He didn't care whether he lived or died. A few more days or a few less days didn't matter. Anyway, his illness was incurable and he was going to die.
If it can free my son from that wicked woman Fang Qing, it's all worth it.
"I'm not going to the hospital, leave me alone, just let me die."
Wang Cuilan groped around for a long time before finally finding Lu Cong on the ground. She buried her face in him and cried, "Old man, what are you saying? Don't do anything foolish! Your illness is curable. We even talked about celebrating our 70th birthdays together, have you forgotten?"
Lu Cong said, "I won't live to seventy, old woman, you'll have to live by yourself."
"What will I do if you leave? My eyes are still blind, I'll be bullied to death by Fang... people will take advantage of me."
Fang Qing also came over and tried to help Lu Cong up. "Dad, let's go to the hospital to get checked out."
"Get out of my way." Lu Jiangting, his eyes red, shoved Fang Qing away abruptly.
Fang Qing stumbled and fell to the ground.
They could only watch helplessly as Lu Jiangting carried Lu Cong on his back.
"Mom, I'm taking Dad to the hospital. You stay home."
"Hey, you don't have any money on you. How are you going to take your dad to the hospital?"
He didn't say what to do, but he just carried his father away.
Then they ran into Yi Yunshuo and Fu Huaiyi.
The two were somewhat embarrassed.
Lu Jiangting looked at them, his face flashing with anger, then with helpless resignation, and finally he angrily carried the old man away.
Yi Yunshuo: "They've left, what do we do now?"
"What do you think?" he said, then turned and left.
Yi Yunshuo caught up with him, "Hey, why did you leave?"
"Aren't you leaving? Are you going to stay and comfort Fang Qing?"
Yi Yunshuo: "..."
"You have a sharp tongue. I haven't even seen Lu Jiangting expose that 180 yuan dress yet, and I'm already a little unwilling to leave."
"Lu Jiangting is already gone, what's the point of exposing him?"
"Then why didn't he say so?"
“His parents couldn’t even afford fifty yuan, let alone one hundred and eighty. He’s not stupid. If he told them the clothes might be worth one hundred and eighty, his parents would be so worried they’d die on the spot.”
