Chapter 713: Chapter 712: Can you stop arguing with her, please?
“He’s a grown man! Why bother with him!” Shao irou felt sorry for Lu Pengcheng being hungry at this ti, so she couldn’t bear to bring up the matter that would anger him and spoil his appetite right now.
“Oh, right, Pengcheng! Lin Xia was found to be pregnant with twins!” Shao irou said this and a brilliant smile appeared on her face again.
She was going to be a grandmother to two children, and this unexpected surprise made her no longer too preoccupied with the gender of the babies.
Just thinking about two chubby little guys affectionately calling her ‘grandma’ lted her heart into mush.
If she had any regret in her life, it was not having more children with Lu Pengcheng.
Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law beca pregnant with two babies, which filled the void of her regret.
Lu Pengcheng laughed heartily, his exhaustion swept away by excitent, “Really? We waited and got nothing, and then suddenly, we’re having two at once! The kid’s got sothing up his sleeve!”
Their daughter Luo Yue had gotten married and had a son, so he already had a grandson and beca a grandfather.
However, his own son had not had any children for a long ti after getting married. How could he, as a father, not be anxious?
But later on, he understood that pressuring them too much could cause psychological stress, making it even harder for them to conceive.
Therefore, he rarely ntioned the matter of having children to his son later on.
Now that his son and daughter-in-law were finally expecting, he naturally felt extrely happy and fulfilled, only to be t with such a huge surprise!
Shao irou and Lu Pengcheng had been together for half their lives, and she really rarely saw him laugh so freely, which showed just how truly happy he was!
But the happier Lu Pengcheng was, the harder it was for her to speak what was on her mind.
“Go wash your hands first! I will warm up so food for you!”
Lu Pengcheng, flushed with joy, proposed, “Heat up so clear liquor for too! I feel like having a drink! I’m so happy!”
Seeing that Lu Pengcheng actually took the initiative to drink, a mix of pity and worry crossed Shao irou’s eyes. She wondered whether he would still be able to smile after he found out what had happened.
Even so, she felt sorry for him and obediently agreed, going to heat up the dishes and the liquor.
From Shao irou’s hurried departure, Lu Pengcheng sensed sothing wasn’t right.
Shao irou’s behavior was strange. Could sothing else have happened at ho?
When Lu Pengcheng ca to the dining table with clean hands, a plate of hot stir-fried green beans with pork was already on the table.
Entering the kitchen, Lu Pengcheng stood next to Shao irou heating up the food and asked, “irou, is there sothing wrong at ho?”
Shao irou frowned slightly, then continued to stir-fry the dishes calmly without turning to look at him, firmly saying, “Eat your al first! I will tell you afterwards! It’s not sothing that can be explained in a word or two!”
No matter what, she couldn’t talk about those things while he was still hungry.
Seeing that he could not get an answer, Lu Pengcheng had a bad premonition.
He knew Shao irou’s character well, so he didn’t press her any further.
Once the other two dishes were heated and served, he was genuinely hungry and quickly finished two bowls of rice.
Because he was preoccupied with what Shao irou was about to say, his earlier eagerness to drink had faded sowhat, and he only drank a small cup of the clear liquor that Shao irou had heated.
Lu Pengcheng set down his chopsticks and looked intently at Shao irou sitting beside him, “Go ahead! What happened?”
He was ntally prepared; if Shao irou was dragging her feet about telling him, it must be bad news.
And, it was very likely related to their Lu Family.
Otherwise, Shao irou wouldn’t be hesitating and beating around the bush like this.
Shao irou sighed lightly, “Pengcheng! If it were anything else, maybe I would have kept it from you and not told you!
“But this matter is too serious and complicated, you must know…”
Next, she recounted everything to Lu Pengcheng.
Even if Lu Pengcheng racked his brain, he never would have guessed that his mother could have done such a thing.
Even if soone plotted in secret, precisely exploiting his mother and their kind of ntality.
Had they never entertained such thoughts, would they have been used by others?
Just the thought of his own flesh and blood, not one but two grandchildren, almost killed by his mother’s own hands, made Lu Pengcheng unable to sit still for another mont.
With a dark expression, Lu Pengcheng left the restaurant without saying a word, heading for the door.
Shao irou asked knowingly, “Pengcheng! Where are you going?”
“I’m going to see my dad!” Lu Pengcheng’s voice was low. His tone was not directed at Shao irou but filled with imnse anger and distress.
He knew his son’s temperant best, usually being overprotective of Lin Xia, not allowing anyone to utter a word against her!
Now, his mother had almost killed Lin Xia’s unborn children with her own hands, and he found it unforgivable, let alone what his son and daughter-in-law might think?
How were they supposed to interact in the future?
“Pengcheng! I won’t stop you if you want to go, but please don’t act impulsively. Speak calmly! The old lady is also not in good health!” Shao irou couldn’t help but give him a few words of caution.
Indeed, she resented Fang Youlan and couldn’t stand her.
But no matter what, Fang Youlan was an elder. If Lu Pengcheng caused her to fall ill or beco paralyzed like the last incident, then they would beco the target of resentnt for several other children.
“Alright! Don’t worry!”
Lu Pengcheng directly left Shao Chengzhi’s ho and headed for his parents’ house.
When Lu Pengcheng arrived at Lu Guangqi’s house, he knocked on the door for a long ti before Lu Shuhui finally opened it for him.
“Big brother, you’re back!”
Lu Pengcheng saw that Lu Shuhui’s face was haggard and her eyes were red and swollen, a clear sign she had just been crying. He coldly asked, “You’re here! Why did it take you so long to open the door? Why have you been crying?”
He stepped inside, only to see the living room deserted and eerily quiet.
“Where are they?”
Lu Shuhui read the room and could tell that her older brother must have co back after learning everything and was now here to confront their mother and hold her accountable!
“Big brother! Please, keep your voice down! Mom and dad are sleeping!”
Lu Pengcheng clenched his fists tighter, “I’m going to find them!”
Lu Shuhui grabbed Lu Pengcheng’s arm tightly, pleading in a low voice, “Big brother! Mom knows she was wrong! For the sake of our mother’s poor health, please don’t argue with her anymore, okay? It’s almost Chinese New Year…”
She felt incredibly tired. It should have been a ti for joyous celebration for every household, yet their ho was shrouded in gloom and sorrow.
Lu Pengcheng angrily shook off her hand and cut her off, “Argue with her? Would I want to argue with her if she hadn’t done sothing so foolish? You know about everything that happened, right?”
“I only found out later when Xiaozheng ca!” Lu Shuhui wiped her tears in distress, “Big brother! You don’t understand!
When we returned from Uncle Liao’s place, and dad found out that the dicine was an abortion pill, he… he got so angry that he beat mom up. I couldn’t stop him, and I got hit several tis too!
Dad collapsed that night from the anger and wouldn’t let tell my sister-in-law. I had no choice but to take care of the two of them at ho!
Mom also realized her mistake and kept telling she was sorry to Lu Zheng and his wife…”
