Chapter 236: Chapter 236: The Old Lady is Paralyzed Chapter 236: Chapter 236: The Old Lady is Paralyzed Lu Youzhen, too lazy to move, simply placed Old Madam Lu on the ground.
To her surprise, she heard Ge Guifen say, “Go close the door.”
After Lu Youzhen had closed the door and co back, she heard Ge Guifen again,”Take off your grandma’s pants, and I’ll take off the top.”
Lu Youzhen was startled, but listened as Ge Guifen explained, “Your grandma loves to hide valuable things in her underclothes.”
Old Madam Lu never expected Ge Guifen to know even this.
“I really have no money! Ge Guifen, what are you doing!” Old Madam Lu cursed loudly, “You ho-wrecker, how dare you touch ! You dare to touch , just wait until Zhenjia cos out, I’ll have him beat you to death!”
“Lu Youzhen! You shaless thing, you get your pants pulled down outside, and now at ho, you dare to pull down mine!” Old Madam Lu’s words were truly too harsh, and Lu Youzhen, angered, forcefully pressed down on her waist.
“Ah!” Old Madam Lu scread out in pain.
Lu Youzhen swiftly unbuckled Old Madam Lu’s belt, pulled down her pants, and searched through the pockets and the inner long johns thoroughly.
“Mom, there’s nothing,” Lu Youzhen said, his face dark.
Ge Guifen was also searching through Old Madam Lu’s clothes and thermal underwear at this ti.
There really was nothing.
“Where exactly did you hide the money!” Ge Guifen demanded.
“I told you I don’t have any!” Old Madam Lu, without any clothes on, shivered as she lay against the cold cent floor.
She had never imagined that Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen could do this to her.
She had now lost all her dignity as a person!
Old Madam Lu was so overco with grief that she couldn’t help but cry out, “I’ve told you, I have no money!”
Ge Guifen thought for a mont and then finally believed Old Madam Lu’s words.
“We’re probably all fooled by that lass,” Ge Guifen said coldly.
“So what do we do now?” Lu Youzhen asked, “Should we go to the Imperial Capital to find Lu Youxi?”
“There’s no need to find her now. What’s the use? As long as she doesn’t admit it, we don’t have any proof,” Ge Guifen analyzed calmly at that mont.
“But we can tell Uncle, right?” Lu Youzhen longed for the prosperity of the Imperial Capital and dreamt of returning.
“You’re being foolish!” Ge Guifen retorted irritably, “Your uncle saw with his own eyes that lass giving the card to your grandma. Besides, we have priors, having money before and not spending it on your grandpa’s treatnt. So, if she insists that we swallowed the money again, your uncle will definitely believe her.”
“In your uncle’s eyes, the lass didn’t fail to give money. She gave it, we swallowed it, and didn’t use it for your grandpa’s treatnt. Even if your uncle is very filial, he wouldn’t possibly ask the lass to continue giving money. He simply won’t believe that she didn’t give us any money at all.”
“Lu Youxi is too cunning!” Lu Youzhen stamped her foot in anger.
Ge Guifen shook her head, “She has always been cunning, or else how could none of us deal with her back in Hexing Village? Now that she’s gone to the Imperial Capital and flourished, even opening an internet café in her freshman year. Could she do this without so smarts?”
Ge Guifen had to admit that Lu Youzhen was sowhat clever, but compared to Lu Youxi, Lu Youzhen was like a fool.
“So what do we do now?” Lu Youzhen asked anxiously, “Just let her play us? The money we had in our hands is gone?”
“That old lady did say one thing right, I’m her aunt; I can’t use the filial piety card against the lass. Even if I go asking for the money, she won’t give it, and even your uncle won’t agree,” Ge Guifen analyzed with a clear mind.
“Instead of making a fuss in the Imperial Capital and still not getting money from the lass, we might as well find all the money your grandparents have.” Ge Guifen squinted, looking around, “Now your grandpa lies paralyzed in bed, and your grandma…”
Ge Guifen looked down at Old Madam Lu trembling on the ground, “Didn’t I just hear her cry out in pain?”
“Ge… Ge Guifen!” Old Madam Lu beca nervous, scared, and suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.
Could it be that Ge Guifen wanted her dead?
Ge Guifen bent over and pressed down on Old Madam Lu’s waist.
“Ah!” Old Madam Lu shuddered in pain, her mouth letting out a pig-slaughtering wail.
“Your waist hurts, huh,” mumbled Ge Guifen, and she began to press all around Old Madam Lu’s back.
Old Madam Lu couldn’t bear the pain anymore; she couldn’t pretend.
So, Ge Guifen quickly discovered that Old Madam Lu had injured her spine and waist.
“Then we’ll let your grandma rest in bed,” Ge Guifen narrowed her eyes, a sliver of light shining through her squinted lids.
Old Madam Lu, terrified, first felt a sense of relief: Ge Guifen didn’t intend to tornt her, and even allowed her to recuperate in bed?
But before she could fully relax, she realized sothing was wrong.
What if her injury had reached the bone, or was even more serious?
She needed to go to a hospital for an X-ray!
What if… what if an injury that could have been easily treated beca more severe because it wasn’t addressed in ti, ultimately rendering her paralyzed?
The living example of Old Master Lu was right there, lying in the storeroom!
Old Madam Lu trembled with even greater alarm and fear, “I need to go to the hospital! Ge Guifen, take to the hospital!”
“What hospital for such a trivial sprain?” laughed Ge Guifen and called over Lu Youzhen, “Co, help lift your grandma onto the bed. This minor sprain will heal with just rest.”
Ge Guifen had no intention of taking the old woman to the hospital; it was too much trouble.
If it really was a minor sprain, as she said, rest would be sufficient.
But if the injury was serious and left unattended, it would only worsen. Eventually, it would be convenient for Old Madam Lu to be bedridden alongside Old Master Lu.
It would be even more convenient to extract money from the two elders.
“I need to go to the hospital!” Old Madam Lu cried out in terror, “I need to go to the hospital! Ge Guifen, if the neighbors find out, if the village chief finds out, you’ll be in big trouble!”
Lu Youzhen looked towards Ge Guifen, who said nonchalantly, “What’s to fear? Your grandma’s inside the house, who could hear her cries? Could they even reach outside?”
Lu Youzhen thought so too.
So, together with Ge Guifen, they moved Old Madam Lu onto the bed.
Old Madam Lu felt that her injury seed to have worsened; as soon as Lu Youzhen and Ge Guifen barely lifted her up, she burst into tears from the pain.
“Help! Ge Guifen is murdering soone! This unfilial wretch!”
“How miserable my life is! My husband is paralyzed in bed, my younger son is in prison, my elder son is unfilial, and now my daughter-in-law and granddaughter are bullying at ho!”
Old Madam Lu shouted and wailed.
Her hoarse cries could still be heard a bit in the next house.
But since Old Madam Lu was always shouting these phrases, the neighbors had grown accustod to it and didn’t think she was truly injured.
She was probably just fighting with Ge Guifen again at ho—crying, making a fuss, threatening to hang herself.
