Chapter 59 Lu Cheng’s Guilt

“That’s impossible. I always sent the allowance separately. Thirty yuan for you, fifteen yuan for your parents. How could Mom take your thirty yuan? Besides, I didn’t even know you had Ziyan and Xiyun. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been gone for five years…” After saying this, Lu Cheng broke down and cried.

He was a big man who hadn’t shed a tear even on the battlefield, even when he found out he might be paralyzed for life, he didn’t cry. But he cried because his parents and brother had abused his wife and children. “Yuexi, I’m sorry. Ziyan, Xiyun, I’m sorry!” After saying this, Lu Cheng kept slapping himself, until Xiao Yichen grabbed his hand, he stopped. When his emotions calmed down, Lin Yuexi took out the severance letter she had written to her in-laws before the New Year and showed it to him.

 Lu Cheng was astonished. His parents and brother used his allowance from the army to bully his wife and children, and when they found out that he might be in a coma for life, paralyzed for life, they didn’t want to take care of him, they just wanted to get their 200 yuan remittance back. How could there be such parents, such brothers in the world? Lu Cheng couldn’t help but feel sad. He had been thinking about them in his final moments of unconsciousness, but in the end, they ruthlessly severed ties with him for 200 yuan.

Lu Cheng tightly clenched the severance letter in his hands, his knuckles turning white, the paper trembling slightly in his grasp. His eyes were filled with grief and disappointment, his chest heaving violently, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and anger he had endured over the years.

“These are my relatives. I’m risking my life on the battlefield, and they’re doing this to me and my wife and children behind my back…” Lu Cheng’s voice was hoarse and bitter, each word squeezed out as if from between his teeth. Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan stood beside him, their faces filled with anger. Xiao Yichen patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder and said, “Lu Cheng, you don’t need relatives like that. From now on, you’ll live a good life with your wife and children. We brothers will help you.

” Gao Lechuan also chimed in, “Yes, Brother Cheng, you all live a good life together. Let them see that you can do it without them.” Lu Cheng nodded slightly. He looked at Lin Yuexi and the children, the determination in his eyes even stronger. “Yuexi, I’m sorry for you and the children. From now on, I will never let you suffer any more grievances.” Tears glistened in Lin Yuexi’s eyes. She nodded slightly and said softly, “The past is the past. As long as you can always be with us from now on, that’s all that matters.” Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun nestled beside their parents, showing their understanding.

Lu Ziyan said, “Dad, I will study hard and protect Mom and my sister.” Lu Xiyun also said in a childish voice, “I will be obedient and help Mom with the chores.” Lu Cheng embraced the two children, vowing to give them a happy home. That night, none of them could sleep. Xiao Yichen: I can’t believe Brother Cheng has parents and a brother like that. It seems that Lu Jingyi’s matter was also planned by the Lu family.

Gao Lechuan: Brother Cheng is so pitiful to have such blood-sucking parents! Lu Cheng: How could I have parents like this? They never saw me as their son. Lin Yuexi didn’t care what they thought. She still gave Lu Cheng acupuncture, massaged his legs, and then went back to sleep with the two kids. This time, Lu Cheng held her hand. “Yuexi, can you stay and keep me company…” Lu Cheng’s low voice was filled with fatigue. Lin Yuexi felt a little reluctant, but she didn’t have any deep feelings for Lu Cheng.

However, during her interactions with him over the past few months, she had indeed discovered that he wasn’t the kind of scumbag she had imagined. He did have his faults in the original owner’s matter, but he still sent her the allowance. It was the original owner who was too weak and her life turned out this way. Thinking about this, Lin Yuexi nodded. Lu Cheng then said in a deep voice, “Yuexi, I know I’ve wronged you. I married you, but then I left you at home for five years without a word. I just thought that sending you thirty yuan allowance every month would ensure you had enough to eat and wear.

 I also thought that maybe you wouldn’t wait for me at the Lu family for so long, that you would leave with Li Mingyuan. But I never expected that you would have two children for me. I deserve to die! I know I have no face to ask for your forgiveness, I can only beg you now, for the sake of the two children, please don’t leave for now, okay?” Lin Yuexi listened quietly to Lu Cheng’s words, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She sighed softly and said, “Lu Cheng, I don’t want to talk about the past anymore. You can rest assured, I won’t leave the two children. As for whether we get divorced or not, we’ll talk about that when you stand up again. Also, after all, they are your biological parents. That severance letter only represents my personal opinion, whether you acknowledge them or not is your business. However, I guess they won’t give up on you, this cash cow. They’ll come to ask you to restore your relationship with them soon, they’ll ask you to take care of you, and they’ll also ask you to divorce me. You can decide then.

 Yichen and Lechuan are going back to Beijing tomorrow, I have to prepare something for them. Also, the 500 yuan Xiao Yichen gave today, I’ll take 500 yuan from your allowance and secretly put it in his luggage without him knowing. Alright, now you get some rest…” Lu Cheng was speechless. Lin Yuexi turned around and went back to the second bedroom to sleep with the two little ones.

The next morning, Lin Yuexi made a hearty breakfast for everyone in her space. The main dishes included steamed buns, dumplings, flower rolls… Protein included: boiled eggs, soy milk, tofu brain, milk… Vegetables included: cold cucumber, cold kelp noodles… When everything was ready, Lin Yuexi first woke up the two little ones, then woke up Lu Cheng. When the father and son had finished washing up and sat down at the table, Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan arrived.

When they saw the breakfast on the table, they were a little surprised. The breakfast Lin Yuexi had prepared was even better than what they ate in the capital. They had never admired a person so much before. They just felt that Lu Cheng had married the right person. If they could also marry a wife like Lin Yuexi, that would be great! They could only think about it, because they knew that such an opportunity was rare.

The two of them began to eat breakfast with gusto, forgetting all about the unpleasantness that had happened at the Lu family’s old house the day before. They kept calling her “Sister-in-law” this and “Sister-in-law” that, making Lin Yuexi feel embarrassed. Lu Cheng watched Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan praise Lin Yuexi, feeling both proud and a little sour.

He knew that Lin Yuexi had endured a lot alone these past years, and now her goodness was finally being recognized by others. Lin Yuexi busied herself on the side, serving everyone food and adding dishes, a faint smile on her face, as if yesterday’s worries had already dissipated. She said softly, “Eat a little more, the journey back is quite long.

 You’ll have more energy if you’re full.” Xiao Yichen replied with a smile, “Sister-in-law, if I could eat your cooking every day, I wouldn’t want to go back to Beijing.”
