Luo Yuantu was so hungry at this point that he couldn’t care less about the other party’s mocking and sneering as he spoke, "i Feng, we are all one family, just let us in for a al. We haven’t eaten since noon..."
"Get lost!"
Without a second thought, Yang ifeng interrupted, "That hairy crab was specially bought for by my son-in-law, and you still want to freeload a al? Get away from here!"
"It’s really funny, taking 800,000 during the day, and now coming over to soone else’s house to beg for food, have you no sha?"
The ntion of money instantly cast a shadow over the expressions of Luo Yuantu and the others.
Luo Xuanran was even on the verge of tears; he had been beaten the worst in the ordeal to protect that 800,000.
Luo Yuantu gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "The 800,000 was just robbed from us, we are penniless now and have nowhere to go, I really had no choice but to co to you."
In reality, they still had three thousand yuan, but Old Lady Luo was keeping it close to her chest, saying that this three thousand yuan was ergency money, not to be used carelessly.
Hearing that the Luo family had been robbed of the 800,000 they had gotten, Yang ifeng said with gleeful laughter, "What? Robbed? Who did such a good deed?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what goes around cos around, nobody escapes the heavens!"
"If anyone’s to bla, it’s your family for doing too many outrageous things."
"Hahaha!"
Yang ifeng’s unrestrained laughter echoed through the courtyard.
Old Lady Luo’s chest was heaving with rage; she nearly blacked out and collapsed.
"Shan Chuan! Shan Chuan! Hurry out, Mom’s going to have an accident!"
Seeing that he couldn’t reason with Yang ifeng, Luo Yuantu quickly raised his voice and started shouting.
Luo Shanchuan, who was watching TV with his granddaughter Chen Chen inside the room, heard the noise and rushed out imdiately.
Once in the courtyard, he saw his mother, older brother, Xuan Ran, and Zi Tong standing outside in a sorry state; his mother was clutching her chest and her face was ashen, his older brother Luo Yuantu’s face was also red with anger, and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed into a "Chuan" character.
Seeing his own wife with her hands on her hips, blocking their way with a face full of triumph.
Without needing to think, he knew his wife had gotten into it with his mom again, but Mom had already been over before, so why had she suddenly co again?
Seeing her second son appear, Old Lady Luo’s spirits lifted as she called out to him, "Shan Chuan, Mom’s starving, quickly help inside."
"Oh," Luo Shanchuan subconsciously responded and moved to support his mother.
"Luo Shanchuan!"
Before he had taken two steps, Yang ifeng called out to her husband sharply, "What are you doing! This is our house, not so relief center!"
At ho, Luo Shanchuan’s status was far below Yang ifeng’s, and upon hearing his wife’s bark, he stopped in his tracks, gave his mother a bitter smile, and apologized, "Mom, it’s getting late, you best go back and rest."
"Shan Chuan, if we really didn’t have to, we wouldn’t have co here,"
Luo Yuantu, wheeling his own chair forward, began, "The 800,000 you gave us this afternoon was robbed, and now we don’t have a single penny, not to ntion a place to stay – we can’t even afford a al."
"Older brother, I know you and Mom have grievances against , but after all, we are still one family; the blood of the Luo family runs in your veins too."
"You can’t just watch as our family sleeps on the streets, waiting to die, can you?"
"What!!!"
Jumping at the news of the robbery, Luo Shanchuan exclaid in alarm, "The money was robbed?"
"Older brother, then why are you still here? Call the police right away!"
"We’ve already called."
Luo Yuantu grimaced and said, "But it was no use!"
"The one who robbed our money was Yu Wei from Baihua Bank; our Luo family had debt disputes with her before."
"The people from the police center said that Yu Wei has the right to collect debts."
"800,000! A whole 800,000 yuan! All gone!"
Luo Zitong, also extrely hungry by then, stepped forward and addressed Luo Ning, "Sister Ning’er, my dad is still in a wheelchair now, grandmother is old and in poor health too, please let us just stay for a few days."
"Go away! The old co to make a scene, and now the young join in too!"
Fearing her daughter might agree, Yang ifeng quickly said, "In the past, it was you who kicked us out of the Luo Family; now you want to stick around in our house, absolutely impossible!"
"Shan Chuan! You’re the head of the household! Can’t you say sothing? Do you really want to kneel before you?"
Knowing Yang ifeng had made up her mind not to let them in, Old Lady Luo had no choice but to turn to her second son Luo Shanchuan.
Although Luo Shanchuan was kindhearted, he was also aware of his mother’s temperant. If she were to move in, Yang ifeng would surely argue with him every day, and his good days might well be over.
With this in mind, he shook his head helplessly, speaking with resolve, "Mom, I’m sorry, I can’t let you stay here."
Old Lady Luo’s eyes widened, her mouth trembling slightly; she couldn’t believe that her usually ek second son was taking a hard stance against her.
She gasped for breath, incredulous, "What... what did you say?"
"Mom, I’m sorry, I can’t let you stay here!"
Luo Shanchuan drew a deep breath, fished out three crumpled hundred-yuan notes from his pocket, handed over two of them, and said, "Take this money to find so food and then look for a hotel to rest..."
"Luo Shanchuan! Are you treating like a beggar?"
Old Lady Luo’s face turned dark instantly, her tone impatient, "I don’t want the money, but I’m determined to stay here today!"
"If you don’t let in, I will call the police and accuse you of abandoning an elderly person!"
