Chapter 60 Liu Cuihua is here to cause trouble again

Gao Lechuan nodded in agreement, making everyone laugh. Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun were also very happy eating, their mouths stuffed full, mumbling, “Mom’s cooking is the best.” After dinner, Lin Yuexi handed some local specialties to Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan, saying, “These are some things made at home, they’re not worth much, take them with you on the road to eat.” She also gave them two jars of wine made with spiritual spring water and ginseng and thirty pounds of dried bear meat. Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan quickly declined, but they accepted them under Lin Yuexi’s insistence.

As they were about to leave, Xiao Yichen’s expression turned serious. He said to Lu Cheng, “Brother Cheng, rest assured and recover. If you need anything, just write me a letter. I’ll keep an eye on the situation in the army. Once your leg is healed, you might go directly back to the military academy to study…” Gao Lechuan also patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder. “Brother Cheng, don’t worry, we’ll all be waiting for you in Beijing…” Lu Cheng looked at them gratefully. “Good brothers, thank you.

 I don’t know what I would have done without you this time.” Lin Yuexi stood aside, watching their brotherhood, and couldn’t help but be moved. She said to Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan, “Brothers, be careful on your way. If you have the chance, come visit us again.” Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan got into the jeep and waved goodbye to them. The jeep started and drove further and further away. Lu Cheng’s family stood at the entrance, not leaving for a long time. After seeing off Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan, Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi took the two children back to the house. Not long after, Lu Jianguo and Wang Lijuan came to visit with Lu Xiaomei. The family warmly welcomed them. Wang Lijuan and Lin Yuexi chatted privately, the three children played in the courtyard, and Lu Jianmin and Lu Cheng, brothers, chatted for a long time. They didn’t know what they talked about, but after that, Lu Cheng remained silent, while Lu Jianmin looked ashamed. It wasn’t until noon that Lin Yuexi kept them for lunch and even gave Lu Xiaomei a stylish set of clothes.

The little girl immediately beamed with joy when she received them. Several days passed, and Liu Cuifang couldn’t hold back any longer. She had heard that Lu Cheng had received a compensation of 5,000 yuan from the army after his injury. Now, Lin Yuexi was taking care of him, and the army was still giving him a monthly allowance of 100 yuan, which was a considerable amount of income. That night, Liu Cuifang, with Lu Jianguo and Li Xiuyin, went to Lu Cheng’s house, ignoring her husband Lu Zhengdong’s dissuasion.

In her eyes, Lu Cheng was her son, and that generous compensation and monthly allowance should be hers. She thought that if she could persuade Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi to divorce, she could control that money, live a carefree life for the rest of her days, and hold her head high in the village. When they arrived at the entrance of Lu Cheng’s house, Liu Cuifang shouted at the top of her lungs, “Cheng’er, Mom is here to see you.” Lu Cheng was sitting in his wheelchair, playing checkers with the two children.

 When he heard the voice, his brow furrowed slightly, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. Recently, under Lin Yuexi’s guidance, he had become very skilled at operating the wheelchair. He didn’t know where Lin Yuexi got such an advanced wheelchair. He just had to say, “Little A, go forward,” and it would go forward, just say “Little A, go back,” and it would go back, say “stop,” and it would stop…

Lu Cheng thought that with such an advanced wheelchair, he could live out the rest of his life lying down, and all this good fortune came from Lin Yuexi. So, his feelings for Lin Yuexi had gone beyond guilt to a higher level. He was lucky to have married such a good wife. When he heard Liu Cuifang’s voice, Lu Cheng knew something bad was coming. Lin Yuexi also stopped what she was doing, exchanged a look with Lu Cheng, and, for Lu Cheng’s sake, got up and opened the door. “Oh, Yuexi, Cheng’er is doing much better, isn’t he?” Liu Cuifang said, her eyes darting around the room. Without waiting for Lin Yuexi to greet her, she walked into the house. When Lu Cheng saw Liu Cuifang, his face instantly turned cold.

“What are you doing here?” Liu Cuifang, however, acted as if she hadn’t heard him. She walked straight to Lu Cheng’s side, grabbed his hand, and began to cry. “Son, you’ve suffered so much. Look at your leg, it’s become so bad. Mom’s heart aches for you. I should have taken you home and taken care of you myself.” Lu Cheng violently shook off Liu Cuifang’s hand. “Mom, stop pretending.

 You’ve been treating Yuexi, Ziyan, and Xiyun like this for the past five years. Erge told me everything a few days ago. You say you’re heartbroken for me, that you want to take care of me yourself, who would believe you? Back when I was in a coma, when you forced Yuexi to take my money, did you ever think about taking care of me yourself? Are you just coming to take care of me now that I’ve woken up and have compensation and an allowance?” Liu Cuifang’s face turned red and white, but she still persisted stubbornly. “Son, don’t be foolish. You’re the flesh of my flesh, how could Mom not feel sorry for you? Don’t listen to Lin Yuexi. She just wants to live a good life off of you.

We’re mother and son, we’re closer than any outsider!” Lu Cheng saw that Liu Cuifang was putting on a show, his face turned black with anger. He immediately retorted, “You still know I’m your son?” “Sandi, how can you talk like that? When I heard you were injured, Mom’s eyes cried themselves blind…

If that bitch Lin Yuexi hadn’t been eager to go to Beijing to take care of you, Mom and I would have gone to Beijing to take care of you long ago…” Lu Jianguo interjected. “Yuexi, go get that severance letter and let Mom see how she cried her eyes blind for me…” Lu Cheng was furious. “Okay…” Lin Yuexi went to get the severance letter and placed it on the table. Liu Cuifang took the severance letter.

“Son! Don’t listen to Er’er! He’s a wretch who forgot his mother after marrying a wife. Can you believe anything he says?” “If you can’t believe Erge, can you believe Captain Li? You saw that I was injured and unconscious, and you forced Yuexi to give you the 200 yuan I sent, and you even signed a severance letter. Mom, you’re really my good, kind mother!” “Oh, Cheng’er! Lin Yuexi forced me to sign it.

It’s a misunderstanding! After all, we are mother and son, connected by blood. This Lin Yuexi, she’s an outsider. Didn’t you dislike her before? Why don’t you divorce her now? Mom promises to take good care of you from now on.” Lin Yuexi stood aside, watching Liu Cuifang’s performance, a cold smile on her face. She wanted to see what kind of tricks Liu Cuifang could pull. Lu Cheng’s chest heaved violently with anger.

“Don’t even think about it. I finally see your true colors. You have no idea how much Yuexi has sacrificed for me. She raised two children alone, managed this house, and took good care of me. I will never divorce her.”
