Chapter 1540: You Should Help
“That’s my granddaughter. Why should she follow the Jiang family? Why can’t I acknowledge my granddaughter? Are you trying to drive me to my grave by not letting me acknowledge my granddaughter? How much money did the Lu family give you to help them like this?”
“Money? What money? Do you think everyone in the world has the same amount of money as you? Who doesn’t know what you are planning? In the past, when you realized that your baby granddaughter was a girl, you left her in the mountains and hoped for her death. Now your family has no descendants, and your son is a fool. You want to take her back when you see how well that child is doing in other people’s homes. You know that the child’s husband’s family is wealthy, and she’s also a doctor with a high salary. You just think that the child will support you and your stupid son in your old age!”
The police officers had lost their patience. It had already been a few days, and Old Madam Lin had been making such a fuss every day. Who would still have the patience to deal with her?
“Yes, that’s right. How can there be such a thing in the world? You didn’t provide for someone, but you want them to provide for you in your old age?” A few of the police officers retorted.
The town was so small, and the news had already spread.
Back then, when Old Madam Lin’s daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, she had left that baby in the mountains. Everyone in town knew about that.
Even though it was common to throw girls away in those days, not many people could be heartless enough to bury a child alive.
“She’s still my son’s daughter. If it weren’t for him, would she exist in the world?” Old Madam Lin was very unreasonable. She was determined to get her granddaughter back.
Lu Xingzhi did not go in immediately. Instead, he waited at the door for a while. He only went in when Big Ke and Ah Lu arrived.
“Xiao Fan, your cla.s.smate is here.” The police officer closest to the door saw the three men when they walked through the door. They were led by one of the most influential people in the county, Lu Xingzhi.
When Xiao Fan heard that, he turned around. It really was his old cla.s.smate.
He beckoned to Lu Xingzhi. “Over here! Over here!”
When Old Madam Lin saw Lu Xingzhi, she was a little shocked. Clearly, she had not expected it.
Even a shrew like her was stunned when she saw the cold-faced Lu Xingzhi. Furthermore, there were two big men by his side. It was obvious that they were not to be trifled with.
Old Madam Lin was stunned for more than ten seconds before she slowly snapped back to her senses. Thinking about it, no matter how scary or awe-inspiring Lu Xingzhi was, he was still Jiang Yao’s husband.
She heard that Lu Xingzhi was extremely fond of Jiang Yao! The Lu family treated their daughter-in-law as if she were their own daughter!
The rumors said that the Lu family and Lu Xingzhi treated Jiang Yao very well.
Therefore, Old Madam Lin became bolder. She thought that Lu Xingzhi would address her as Grandmother like Jiang Yao should have.
However, Jiang Yao’s husband was not Jiang Yao.
Old Madam Lin did not bother the police anymore. She walked toward Lu Xingzhi, and without saying anything, she stretched her hand toward him. “You’re just in time. Your wife’s biological father has been sick for the past few days, and I need money to treat his illness. Give me 20 bucks.”
It was not a huge amount of money, but it was not a small amount either. For farmers in the countryside, 20 bucks meant living expenses for a month or two.
When the man remained silent, Old Madam Lin straightened her neck and said, “You are Jiang Yao’s husband. So, you should help her biological father when he is sick since he is retired.”
