Chapter 177 The Ultimate Scumbag - Family Meeting
Huang Juan heard her daughter say that she wanted to take her son to Taipei City, and she said:
"You are a good sister, but I will clean up your room when you come back."
Zhou Leng calculated the future and said:
"About a month later, I will go back, clean up my room, and take out all of Lu Changhao's junk. If I go back and find that my room has become a warehouse, I won't care about him anymore."
Huang Juan said angrily:
"I see. Did you secretly install cameras at home? Then let's settle your brother's matter. We are all waiting for you to come back for the New Year."
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Leng smiled slightly. It’s still a month before he can go home for the New Year. That’s great!
***
Both of Lu's parents are retired workers, so the family conditions are relatively good, otherwise a family that favors boys over girls would not allow a girl to go to college.
Huang Juan cleaned her daughter's room again when Lu Dandan was about to return home. Because her daughter was now a little celebrity, the neighbors all praised her for her good education. Her daughter brought her honor, so she took her daughter more seriously.
Lu Changhao was leaning against the door of the room. His facial features were actually very delicate, but long-term sitting and playing games, having everything provided for him, and not going out or exercising had caused fat accumulation, so even though he was leaning against the door frame at the moment, the entire door was blocked by him.
Lu Changhao said sarcastically:
"As parents, you also treat people differently. My sister has become famous, so you started to clean the house for her and even took out all my things. So from now on, will you focus on my sister and ignore me? Do you still want me as your son?"
Huang Juan looked sideways at her overweight son. She spoke in a gentle tone, different from the one she used to speak to her daughter:
"What are you talking about, kid? Isn't mom doing this so that your sister can take you to Taipei? There's not much development in our place, so why not go with your sister? She's successful now, so shouldn't she help her brother? Mom and dad can't support you forever, what will you do when we die? So you have to have a good relationship with your sister, you know, if mom and dad are gone in the future, your sister can continue to take care of you."
When Lu Changhao heard this, he sneered and said disdainfully:
"Does she need to control me? From now on, she will be the only one who will beg me."
Huang Juan echoed:
"My son is right, but your sister took the initiative to bring you to Taipei. She still cares about you. Mom hopes that you can have a promising future, so just think of it as a chance to gain some experience first."
Lu Changhao shouted in disapproval:
"Do I have to succeed if you want me to? I'm your child, can't I live the life I want? I just want to eat, drink, poop, sleep and wait to die. Why do you force me to succeed and make money? Don't you have to raise me since you gave birth to me?"
Huang Juan continued to persuade gently:
"Don't shout, don't be angry, Mom and Dad didn't say they wouldn't support you, but what if Mom and Dad died? Who would support you then?"
Lu Changhao said as a matter of course:
"Can't you leave me money to live on after you die? How can you rest in peace? Anyway, this is all wishful thinking on your part. I'm not going to Taipei. My sister is renting a house in Taipei. She doesn't have her own room there. I'm not going. If you want to go, go ahead."
If Lu Dandan dared to say such words, Huang Juan would definitely slap him in the face, but because it was her beloved son who said it, she explained in a gentle voice that it was for his own good.
Lu Changhao was unwilling to listen to his mother, so he turned and went into his room.
Bang.
The door was slammed shut, and then there were continuous banging sounds, as if someone was punching the wall.
Huang Juan quickly stood up and walked to the door of Lu Changhao's room and shouted:
"Son, don't hit the wall with your hands. It will hurt. Mom won't force you. If you don't want to go, then don't go. Anyway, your sister makes more money now. You can ask your sister to give you money every month. Don't be angry. You will hurt your health if you keep getting angry."
"go away."
A man's roar was heard from inside the room.
Huang Juan left quietly.
at dusk.
Zhou Leng went downstairs, locked her car to the iron fence of the community, and then went upstairs carrying all her equipment.
The residential area where the Lu family lives is an old one and there is no elevator.
Zhou Leng carried his things to the third floor and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Because Zhou Leng was wearing a face covering for cycling, Huang Juan couldn't see the face of the person knocking on the door, so she asked.
Zhou Leng pulled down his face to cover himself and said loudly, "Mom, I'm back. Open the door for me."
Mother and son meet.
Huang Juan was very excited. She stepped forward and hugged her daughter and said:
"Oh, you're finally back. I was thinking about it these few days. Come in, the room is ready for you."
Huang Juan looked at the things Zhou Leng was carrying and said:
"What the hell is this? Hurry up and move into the room. You must be tired from the journey."
Zhou Leng entered the room and asked, "Where's my dad?"
Huang Juan replied: "Your father went to the park to play chess, and he didn't know you were back today."
Zhou Leng returned to the room and looked at the tidy, clean and clutter-free room. She nodded with satisfaction.
Huang Juan stood at the door and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go buy some groceries later."
Zhou Leng put down her things and took off her coat. She asked, "Where's my brother?"
Huang Juan said: "Your brother is studying in his room, please keep your voice down and don't disturb him."
Zhou Leng nodded in agreement. Lying on the comfortable bed, feeling the 'warmth' of the family. She whispered, "Just cook something. Mom's cooking is delicious."
In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, Lu Jun came back.
Mr. Lu is a typical old man of few words. He lives a rich life after retirement. He often goes to the park to play chess, meet with former colleagues, or join the choir.
The educational philosophy that Lu Jun adheres to is that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. He ignores how Huang Juan likes to manage the children and just lives his own life.
When father and daughter meet, they just have a normal conversation of two sentences.
"dad."
"Dandan is back?"
"Well, I'm back."
Then the father and daughter had no more communication.
After dinner, Huang Juan went to Zhou Leng's room to chat.
After a few words of small talk, Huang Juan got straight to the point and said:
"I talked to your brother, and he said he didn't want to go to Taipei. I thought that now that you have a high income, why don't you give your brother 5,000 yuan pocket money every month? Mom doesn't ask for much, right?"
Zhou Leng was lying on the bed with her legs crossed. When she heard this, she did not refute fiercely or argue with him.
Zhou Leng knew that there was no point in arguing with the parents, and that quarreling would not change their minds. Besides, she had already guessed that Lu Changhao would not go to Taipei.
To put it bluntly, Lu Changhao is what he is now because of their education. You reap what you sow.
Zhou Leng would never sit around and change this family's living conditions and thoughts. Existence is reasonable, and she just needs to do her job well.
