Chapter three hundred and eighty second: complete division
The look in Lu Li's eyes was so clear that in the past, Lu Cheng would have solved this problem for her no matter what.
But now, he just smiled bitterly.
"So, you look down on us and feel that we have deprived you of your dignity, but in the end it is us who should pay."
"Lili, is your heart made of iron?"
Lu Li gritted her teeth.
"I didn't say that."
"If you don't want to pay for tuition, then just don't pay."
Yes, I didn’t say it, but my eyes said everything.
…
Lu Cheng looked at her: "I just want to ask a question."
He had hidden this question in his heart for a long time, but never had the courage to ask it. Sometimes he would wake up at night and imagine that one day he would get the answer he wanted.
"The time your sister-in-law suffered from bleeding, she asked you to borrow money, but you refused... Do you regret it now?"
"Who says I won't!"
Lu Li jumps!
"I obviously got the money back!"
"Besides, it's not me who caused her heavy bleeding. I don't have any money. I only have so much. You can't force me to take out the money."
Lu Cheng looked at her with sad eyes.
"Lili, I'm not a fool."
"You are going to school and are promising. If you make a phone call, our mother will talk to you at home for a long time."
"Say that you are successful and have made a lot of money as a tutor."
"You said you spent money lavishly and wanted to buy her a gold ring."
"Say you have more than 2,000 yuan in your card, and you can make a lot of money in a week."
"Obviously you just talked on the phone..."
Lu Cheng's throat felt a little dry and hoarse as he thought about the past.
"But when it came time to borrow money, my mother made several phone calls and how long did she talk?"
"It's not like we have never sent money to others. The bank will delay when sending money, but will the delay be so terrifying?"
"And your 500 yuan..."
"It's been nearly four hours. Our mother clearly said that your sister-in-law was bleeding heavily and couldn't hold on."
"Do you know how she saved her life in the end? She kowtowed to others in the hospital..."
"Do you think dignity is precious?"
"I tell you, life is worthless."
As he spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "We are poor and have weak knees. In order to save our father's life and pay your tuition fees, this is not the first time that we kowtow."
"Your 500 yuan came and went, and they kept it secret from us... Your sister-in-law has always been grateful to you, and thought it was not easy for you, so she asked us to send money there, for fear of embarrassing you."
"You and your sister-in-law are both female. She had her uterus removed. Don't you feel uncomfortable hearing that?"
"Lili, how can you be so cruel?"
"After being married for so many years, she has taken care of your life. Even if a city dweller has a nanny, she still has some feelings for you!"
…
Lu Li's face turned pale.
Her lips were trembling, and she was about to say something, but Lu Cheng didn't give her the chance.
"I've always wanted to tell you this. I was wondering, where did my former sister go?"
"Yes, your sister-in-law is bleeding heavily. I don't blame you because it was not caused by you. But..."
He wiped his face, his eyes slightly red at the moment:
"It's not your fault... Just like when we went to borrow money, it's okay if others don't borrow money..."
Lu Cheng looked at her with far-reaching eyes.
——But those are neighbors, fellow villagers, and relatives...
But the one in front of her is her biological sister who she raised with her own hands.
That's why he seems to be in more and more pain.
…
"You are clearly expressing your anger."
After a long while, Lu Li said.
"She has such a big belly and still has to go to the market and go to town, but she doesn't bring enough money... If something like this happens, it can only be said to be a person's life!"
"Even this kind of thing is my fault. Brother, you are no longer my brother. Your heart has completely turned to your family."
"you shut up!"
Lu Cheng suddenly stood up and stared at her as if he wanted to eat someone.
The shop suddenly fell silent, everyone's eyes were focused here, Lu Li felt her face burning, and she wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
But Lu Cheng's eyes were so red and bloodshot that she didn't dare to stare at him.
…
"You said your sister-in-law has a big belly, why do you want to go to town?"
"Do you think the money for your schooling fell from the sky?"
"My relatives in town lent me 2,000 yuan. You started school almost three months ago and I paid it off after I worked part-time. I saved up 2,000 yuan." Your sister-in-law immediately took our mother to pay back the money."
"Why did she go? Because she was there when the kowtow was being kowtowed. Because the family's words were unpleasant and she was afraid that our mother wouldn't be able to bear it."
But no matter how harsh the words were, the money was borrowed. When they received the money, they could only be grateful.
"Why don't you bring enough money?"
"Where's the money?"
"After paying off the money, the remaining 300 yuan will be our family's living expenses for a whole month's worth of gifts, including our father's medical expenses."
Lu Cheng stared at her and gasped:
"Yes, you are successful now and can make money. Do you think it is easy to make money?"
"I am not capable of being an elder brother. My parents have lived in the countryside all their lives and cannot read two Chinese characters. I have really wronged you."
"Since you are so capable, why do you need to ask me to figure out a solution for tuition fees?"
…
The curious glances of the people around him were like knives.
Lu Li felt like her face was being ripped off.
Her mind was spinning rapidly, not to be outdone at this moment, she just wanted to save her dignity:
"Is it my fault?"
"When I got into college, there were obviously bonuses everywhere. Schools in the town and city gave them to me! But our family is so poor that we can't even afford the rest."
"Even if other people's children don't get a penny bonus, even if they have to repeat their studies, their families are willing to pay for it... What about me? I can't even bear to add a side dish to my meal at school."
After hearing her words, Lu Cheng looked blank, but his eyes were sarcastic.
"Yes, I have given a bonus, four to five thousand yuan. Is it enough?"
"What can you do if someone else's child has a good life? You were born into a poor family like ours."
"Isn't it painful when you have to eat at school and don't want to add extra food?"
"Your sister-in-law is more than seven months pregnant. She has only stewed meat twice at home, and it was only when you came back from vacation. Xiaohai is not willing to eat like this during vacation."
"Lili, you are right. Having a family like ours cannot allow you to live a dignified life... When we meet in the future, just pretend that we don't know each other!"
He finally asked the question and got the answer.
But if possible, Lu Cheng would rather never ask.
"If you have a filial piety, say a few words to our parents, and I won't stop you. If you don't have enough to eat, I can still provide for you."
"but……"
He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end he just let out a long sigh:
"So be it."
At this moment, the originally straight back became rickety.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu Li felt panic in her heart.
The complicated emotions overwhelmed her like a wave, and she finally couldn't help but say:
"Do you think I owe you something? But if it wasn't for my sake and it was just a small favor, how could they give you a house?"
"Houses in the imperial capital are so expensive, aren't they more valuable than anything else?"
Lu Cheng suddenly turned his head and stared at her!
"Then use your face!"
"Tell that boss, for your sake, take back the house that was given to me!"
"You go!"
His hoarse voice came from the door and echoed for a long time.
