Chapter Thirty-nine: One Hundred Thousand Yuan?

However, the moment Lu Feng and the driver got out of the car, opened the door, and gently helped Li Xiaohu's mother, who was wearing new clothes, step down from the BMW, the crowd that had rushed over to watch the excitement suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes were fixed on the middle-aged woman's weathered face, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Finally, after a full minute or two, a series of astonished cries exploded among the crowd:

"Goodness! It's Sister Yue'e from Li Dazhu's family. She... Didn't she die of a terminal illness? How... How is she back? "

"Yes, is this a person or a ghost? Sister Yue'e clearly had a terminal illness. Li Dali and Li Dazhi both said that their mother had passed away. But how is it that a living person is standing here? And... And she's back in such a nice car? What on earth is going on? "

"That's right, it's Sister Yue'e. Isn't that Xiaohu behind her? Oh, Xiaohu's clothes are really nice. They must be expensive, right? Where have they been these past few years? How come they look so decent after going out for medical treatment? "

"Dali, Dazhi's mother is back! Yazi, go and call them quickly. "

"..."

The chaotic chatter of the crowd made Lu Feng, who had a clear plan in mind, sneer inwardly. Renting a nice car had indeed been the right decision. Just entering the village had already caused such a huge stir. It was simply perfect!

People continued to flock around. A luxurious BMW that one would only see on TV appearing in their small village was like a bomb dropped into a fishpond, causing a great commotion.

Similarly, the two unfilial sons, Li Dali and Li Dazhi, and their wives also heard about this incident in a short period of time. Especially when Yazi came to tell them that the person getting out of the BMW was their mother, Li Dali and Li Dazhi were as if struck by lightning and stood there dumbfounded on the spot. It wasn't until a long while later that the two, with strange expressions on their faces, rushed towards the front yard with their wives in a hurry.

Looking at the rusty big iron lock, Li Xiaohu's mother was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She had lived in this courtyard for more than twenty years. After countless hardships and despair, she was finally back today!

When Li Dali and Li Dazhi, who squeezed through the crowd, saw their mother, their hearts suddenly twitched violently. The car was indeed as imposing as it was on TV, with a streamlined design that was truly perfect.

And that middle-aged woman with many wrinkles and gray hair was indeed their mother.

In an instant, Li Dali and Li Dazhi, who usually didn't get along well, rarely thought of the same thing in their hearts.

How is she still alive?

Didn't they say that she couldn't live long with that illness? And without money for treatment, how did she manage to survive until now? Oh no, now that she's back, she won't expect us to support her, will she? No way, we absolutely can't support someone who just freeloads!

"Mom... You're back? Is your illness cured? "

Li Dali's face was extremely ugly, but in front of so many fellow villagers, he didn't dare to show his disgust for his mother. He even had to call her hypocritically and ask.

No matter how unfilial he was, he didn't dare to show it in front of the whole village. Otherwise, they would probably never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. Just being gossiped about behind their backs would be unbearable for them.

The middle-aged woman's face was cold, and she said in a deep voice, "Don't call me mom. My eldest and second sons are already dead! Give me the key to the courtyard gate. This is my home. Who gave you the right to lock it up casually? "

Li Dali and Li Dazhi's faces changed drastically. In fact, in this short moment, they both showed signs of anger.

They hadn't expected that their mother, who they used to scold and who wouldn't dare to say a word back, would now dare to severely reprimand them in public and even say that she didn't recognize them as her sons. It was like an invisible slap that hit them in the face.

Li Dali's face was ugly, his eyes filled with anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Mom, we are still your sons, aren't we? How can you curse us like that? "

Li Xiaohu had always been afraid of his two brothers, but now, there was no more fear in his heart. He stepped forward bravely and angrily said, "Are you even human? Have you lost all your conscience? Mom raised you. Don't you see all the hardships she endured? You forget your mother once you get married. You're simply beasts! Mom is right. Although you're still alive, in her heart, you're already dead. She doesn't have sons like you. It was you who drove me and mom out at night. Even when mom was on the verge of death from her illness, you didn't care about us at all. Instead, you made things worse. How dare you say that mom is cursing you? "

His words were forceful.

In an instant, Li Dali and Li Dazhi's faces changed dramatically.

The onlookers around were also in an uproar. They finally understood what had happened.

"Goodness! So Sister Yue'e was driven out by these two unfilial sons? I knew it! Why were these two brothers acting as if nothing had happened when Sister Yue'e was seriously ill, and why did Sister Yue'e and Xiaohu suddenly disappear? It turns out that they were homeless and driven out! "

"How could our Lijiazhuang produce two such heartless people? It's a sin! They don't even think about it. If you're not filial now and don't support your mother, will your children drive you out when you're old? "

"Poor Sister Huzi's mother. She actually gave birth to two such unfilial sons. When I asked Dazhi and his brother where Sister Yue'e was, they told me she had gone to the city and that some kind-hearted person was willing to help her with the medical treatment and that they just needed to pay some money. Now it seems that they were just lying! "

"Damn it! These two bastards have shamed all of us in Lijiazhuang! They have no conscience! "

"Ungrateful wretches..."

"..."

The villagers around were actually kind and simple-hearted people, and they had a strong sense of feudal traditional values. Their ancestors had ranked "filial piety" first among all virtues, so in their minds, being filial was a matter of course. A person could make mistakes, but they couldn't lack filial piety.

Li Dali and Li Dazhi, with their faces flushed red, listened to the condemnations around them, and their anger was burning inside.

Finally, Li Dazhi couldn't hold back and jumped out, glaring at Li Xiaohu furiously and shouting, "You little brat, have you grown some guts? Who drove our mother out? Didn't you say that you could cure mom's illness? Mom gave you all the money. Did we get a single cent? The doctors all said that mom's illness couldn't be cured, but you didn't believe it and insisted on wasting all the money in the family. You're not married and don't have children, so you don't have to support a family. But we can't just take our wives and children out to beg, can we? "

Li Xiaohu's face showed anger, but he was so intimidated by Li Dazhi's shout that he couldn't say a word.

Lu Feng, who had been standing beside Li Xiaohu and hadn't said a word since getting out of the car, suddenly stepped forward with big strides, stood in front of Li Xiaohu, gave Li Dazhi a fierce glare. In the moment of the other person's brief shock, he turned around in full view of everyone, looked at Li Xiaohu, and smiled. He reached into his wallet, took out a bank card, and said lightly, "Xiaohu, these past few years you spent all the family's money on treating your mother's illness. Now that your mother's illness is cured, you still need to live. There's 100,000 yuan in this card. You can use it for your schooling and to take good care of your mother, feed her well, and let her rest and recover. "

Lu Feng had anticipated this scene before coming, and this was something he had prepared specifically.

Li Xiaohu was stunned for a moment and stood there dumbfounded.

This card... 100,000 yuan?

He felt that his mind was a bit blank, and for a moment, he even forgot to think and didn't reach out to take the card.

More and more people around were once again exclaiming in surprise. The simple villagers, packed tightly in layers, stared at the bank card in Lu Feng's hand with their mouths agape. Everyone's heart seemed to be shaken by the thought of the huge amount of money, as if by the sound of a bomb explosion.

100,000 yuan?!

There was actually 100,000 yuan in that card?

The villagers who had lived on this land for generations, which family had 100,000 yuan? In their eyes, 100,000 yuan was an extremely large sum of money. There were no factories here, no big businesses, and not many ways to make money. The hardworking and simple villagers worked hard, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky, just to make their families well-off, with enough food and clothing and a comfortable life.

In fact, most of them had never even seen what 100,000 yuan looked like when it was piled up together.

"Goodness! 100,000 yuan? Who is this person? Not only did he bring Xiaohu and his mother back in such a nice car, but he also gave them 100,000 yuan right in front of everyone. Is this... Is this like a pie falling from the sky? "

"Goodness! He just gave away 100,000 yuan like that? Why is this person giving money to their mother and son? "

"100,000 yuan? If I had 100,000 yuan, then... Then I could eat pork and mutton every day! "

"..."

Everyone was stunned by Lu Feng's act of giving away 100,000 yuan, including Li Dali and Li Dazhi.

Their faces flushed with excitement, and their greedy eyes wished they could snatch the bank card with 100,000 yuan from Li Xiaohu.

Li Dazhi was usually quick-witted. Almost the moment he reacted, he quickly ran to his mother's side and said affectionately to her, "Mom, I was wrong before. I should have taken good care of you. Don't worry, I'll bring you the key later. By the way, you've been away from home for several years, and the quilts and such are probably not usable anymore. I have a few newly sewn quilts at home, and I'll bring them to you later. "

After saying that, without waiting for his mother to speak, he kicked Li Xiaohu from behind and angrily said, "Xiaohu, what are you still standing there for? This big brother is giving it to you. Just take it. After all, it's his kind gesture! "
