RAD Chapter 61

“Ah! You two little beasts who are born to collect debts! What sins did our old Yu family commit in our previous lives to end up with you ungrateful wolves! ”

Old Mrs. Yu had a habit of counting her private savings every morning. But on this particular morning, she was furious to discover that all the money she had painstakingly accumulated over the years had completely disappeared! And just as she was frantically searching, she realized that her third daughter was also missing. There was no need for an explanation, the situation became clear to Old Mrs. Yu in an instant.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the simple-minded Lu Tu came begging in front of Old Mrs. Yu because he was very hungry. Well, Old Mrs. Yu immediately found her target for venting her anger. Despite being over 60 years old, she moved with surprising agility. She grabbed Lu Tu’s ear with one hand while furiously striking him with the other, all the while hurling endless curses.

Hearing his brother’s agonized cries, Lu Cheng abandoned the firewood he had just lit. He stuffed it into the stove and rushed over. Seeing his brother’s swollen red face, Lu Cheng’s eyes instantly reddened. With a furious shout, he charged at Old Mrs. Yu and knocked her to the ground. He didn’t even glance at the now dazed Old Mrs. Yu and tenderly reached out to touch his brother’s inflamed cheek.

However, even his gentle touch caused his brother more pain. Tears kept streaming down on his face. For the first time, Lu Cheng felt resentment towards his grandmother.

“You little bastard, are you rebelling against me?” After the dizziness subsided, Old Mrs. Yu could clearly feel the pain throughout her body. “You two ungrateful bastards, eating my food, using my things, even living in my house, and yet you dare to attack me? You’re just like your mother, all of you are beasts! No, even beasts are better than you!”

Listening to the increasingly vicious curses, Lu Cheng’s eyes burning with rage. He stood up and carefully cradled his brother, then turned to glare at Old Mrs. Yu, saying word by word, “Old hag, I’ve tolerated you for too long! If it weren’t for you being my grandmother, I swear I’d beat you up right now!”

“You!” Old Mrs. Yu glared at him with anger. She couldn’t believe this grandson, who had always meekly accepted her abuse, now dared to defy her and look at her with such eyes.

But Old Mrs. Yu didn’t say anything further, because she vaguely realized that this grandson might not just be all talk and might actually act on his threat. For the sake of her own life, Old Mrs. Yu reluctantly clamped her mouth shut after glaring at him.

Satisfied, Lu Cheng glanced at the now silent Old Mrs. Yu, then turned and left with his brother in his arms for the small clinic. After the evil star left, the Old Mrs. Yu who was lying on the group stood up to her feet while gritting her teeth in pain. But before she could catch her breath, a wisp of white smoke began to drift into the room, accompanied by the smell of burning.

After a brief moment of confusion, Old Mrs. Yu immediately realized what was happening. She, without regard for her own pain, limped out of the house and saw the kitchen, from which white smoke was steadily billowing. Grabbing a basin from the windowsill, she quickly filled it with water from the tank and hurried into the kitchen.

The thick white smoke that poured out as she opened the kitchen door made Old Mrs. Yu’s eyes water and she choked, but she pressed on. She was determined to extinguish the fire first.

Although the fire in the kitchen was not very large, for an old lady whose legs were not very agile at the moment, it still progressed slowly. Fortunately, at this time, a middle-aged woman rushed into the kitchen carrying a bucket of water, and soon the fire was completely extinguished.

Looking at the messy kitchen in front of her, Old Mrs. Yu frowned heavily, feeling extremely resentful in her heart: It must be that little bastard who deliberately set the fire! When they come back, she will give them a good beating!

“Mom, are you okay?” The middle-aged woman looked at her elderly mother worriedly.

Old Mrs. Yu looked up and glared at her fiercely, snapping, “What, are you blind? Does this kind of thing still need to be asked? Are you still my daughter?”

The middle-aged woman, who was Old Mrs. Yu’s eldest daughter Yu Hui, quickly flashed a look of obvious disgust in her eyes, but still put on an flattering smile on her face: “Yes, yes, it’s all my fault. Come, mom, let me help you go inside and rest.”

“Rest? Don’t you see it’s still a mess here?” Old Mrs. Yu impatiently slapped away Yu Hui’s hand that was trying to support her and said angrily.

Yu Hui gritted her teeth and smiled, but she still turned around and rolled up her sleeves to start cleaning up without saying a word. After cleaning up, Yu Hui patted her slightly sore back and let out a small sigh of relief: Phew, finally cleaned up.

“What’s wrong? Just simply cleaning up the kitchen made you so tired that you can’t even move?” Old Mrs. Yu’s sarcastic voice sounded again. Yu Hui did not refute, but smiled and said, “No, no, mom, let’s go inside.”

After helping Old Mrs. Yu sit down in a chair, Yu Hui poured her a glass of water. “Mom, how did the kitchen catch fire?”

As soon as the words fell, Old Mrs. Yu gritted her teeth and cursed, “It must be that little beast’s doing! As expected, just like her mother, she’s a despicable bitch! All ungrateful wolved who cane never be tamed!”

Yu Hui silently said in her heart: Mom, the “despicable bitch” you mentioned seems to be your third daughter, and it seems that she is the child you have been most fond of and biased towards for nearly thirty years, right?

“Mom, what exactly happened?” Yu Hui suppressed the gloating look in her eyes and asked carefully, “What did the third sister do wrong?”

“Bah! She’s not your third sister at all!” Old Mrs. Yu spat forcefully on the ground. “Don’t ever mention her in front of me again! That ungrateful bitch, she actually dared to steal the money I had hidden away. It’s best if she doesn’t come back, and if she does, I’ll skin her alive and tear out her tendons!”

Oh? Yu Hui’s eyes flashed. So that’s how it is! Although she also really dislikes this third sister who has always liked to gossip behind her back, at this moment, she really wants to applaud her for this action! Remembering when she got married, her own mother actually married her off to a man ten years older than her who was also physically disabled just because she was greedy for the other party’s betrothal gift. If it weren’t for the fact that her husband is now good to her, she really wouldn’t mind taking advantage of her mother’s misfortune!

“By the way, what are you back for?” After a long scolding, Old Mrs. Yu suddenly turned her head and stared at Yu Hui intently. “Don’t tell me you’ve come here to ask for money again? Let me tell you, all of my money has been taken by that despicable person. No money, but there’s one life to be had.”

Yu Hui’s husband had a serious illness a few months ago, and most of the valuable things in their home had been sold. They were still short of some money. Helpless, Yu Hui had to go back to her own family for help. After all, her husband’s relatives were all gone. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law had passed away within five years of their marriage, and she had no other relatives on that side.

“…” Yu Hui felt very uncomfortable when she heard her mother directly refuse her again. In fact, this time she had not come to borrow money. On the contrary, her husband had recently recovered and the family’s financial situation had improved by a bit. She had come to send the New Year’s gifts that she had missed.

But since her mother had spoken this way, Yu Hui decided: From now on, she would not give her mother a single penny. Even if she came to visit her impulsively, she would not buy any gifts. At most just bring some things grown at home. Of course, she would also reduce the number of times she came. She was not a masochist, and there was no need to be so cheap and rush to ask for scolding!

“Nothing, I just happened to pass by and came to see you.” Yu Hui poured her mother a cup of tea. “Fortunately I came in time.”

“What do you mean by that? Do you want me to thank you?” Old Mrs. Yu immediately became unhappy when she heard Yu Hui’s words.

“Mom, no, that’s not what I meant.” Yu Hui quickly shook her head. “Right, it’s getting late, the two at home are waiting for me to cook for them. Mom, I’m leaving now, I’ll come see you next time.”

“Go, go, hurry up and leave.” Old Mrs. Yu mother waved her hand impatiently. “You’re all ungrateful!”

Yu Hui looked at her mother, said nothing more, and slowly walked out the door. Glancing back at the house she had lived in for more than ten years, her eyes were cold: Home? What a joke!

Just as Yu Hui left, Lu Cheng slowly walked the house with Lu Tu in his arms. He completely ignored the angry-looking Old Mrs. Yu and went straight to his room. Old Mrs. Yu darkly frowned. She angrily smashed the cup in her hand and limped back to her own room.

Hearing the intentionally loud door slam of the door downstairs, Lu Cheng clearly felt his younger brother fearfully clinging to his clothes. He gently patted his brother’s head and said softly, “Tutu, be good. Soon, brother will take you and leave this place, okay?”

“Mm.” Lu Tu answered softly.

Lu Cheng had never hated his mother as much as he did at this moment. Since she had given birth to them, why couldn’t she take responsibility and take good care of them? Heartlessly abandoning her two sons while she went off to enjoy herself with the money, was that really okay?

Someday, he would make everyone who had bullied them two brothers pay the price! A fierce look flashed in Lu Cheng’s eyes, and he gradually tightened his grip until a small cry of pain was heard. Only then did he react and anxiously checked his younger brother all over.

Tutu, don’t worry, your brother is here. I will definitely protect you!
