Chapter Forty-one: A Wonderful Show

Lu Feng slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, glanced at Driver Li, and then said calmly, "Brother Li, if you had met a child who carried his mother from Gansu to Shandong, walking step by step for a thousand or two thousand li. If you knew that the child begged all the way while carrying his mother, and used the money he begged to buy food for his mother, while he himself rummaged through the trash cans for leftovers. Even when he first met me, he fainted from hunger, then you would understand everything I've done today."

Driver Li was shocked upon hearing this, nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Mr. Lu, where are we going now?"

Lu Feng sneered coldly, "Brother Li, just call me Lu Feng! Let's go to the town, have a good meal, and then buy some food and drinks to send to Xiaohu and his mother. Judging from the personalities of Xiaohu's two brothers, I'm afraid we'll have a great show tonight!"

Driver Li showed a look of sudden realization and said, "I see. You gave Xiaohu 100,000 yuan today just to make his two brothers greedy. As long as they cause trouble tonight, and then you go back, and at that time..."

Lu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Remember when I visited the village head before I left?"

Driver Li raised his eyebrows and nodded silently.

Lu Feng laughed sinisterly and said, "Don't worry. I guess after tonight, those two brothers will become notorious. Humph, unfilial people should bear the corresponding punishment."

Driver Li frowned, feeling somewhat shocked in his heart. He had originally thought that this young man was just a rich young man. Even when he gave money to Xiaohu in the morning, he thought this person was just showing off. Although after spending the afternoon together, he realized he had misunderstood, he didn't expect that this young man was so scheming. Without his even noticing, he had dug one pit after another, just waiting for those unlucky two brothers to jump in. This kind of thought was simply cunning and calculating!

Changlong Town was well-built. Just in terms of planning, it was the best township Lu Feng had ever seen.

Unlike other places that were dirty everywhere, Changlong Town looked very clean. If one didn't know it was a town, they might really think it was a suburban market of a big city.

At a restaurant called "Spicy Country Girl", Lu Feng and Driver Li had a hearty meal. Then they ordered three dishes, one soup, and ten big steamed buns to take away. After resting in the car for an hour, they drove back towards Lijia Village.

Estimating the time, those two brothers should not be able to hold back now! For people like them who were driven by self-interest and greed, it was already quite remarkable that they could endure until now.

Lu Feng didn't know that, in fact, the wonderful show in Lijia Village had already started, and this time, the whole village was listening to this show.

In the main room of the old but clean house, the middle-aged woman looked at her two sons with hatred in her eyes, making her heart feel like it was dead.

"Get out of here! That 100,000 yuan is for Xiaohu to go to school, given by Little Brother Lu. You want to split it equally? On what grounds? I'm telling you that as long as I, this old woman, am not dead, you won't get a single penny. Get out, get out!"

Li Dali and Li Dazhi looked at each other, with a look of mockery in their eyes. Li Dali snorted coldly, "Mom, don't be ungrateful. Although we don't know how your illness suddenly got better out of nowhere, as long as you're not dead, we have the right to inherit your money. Even if we take it to court, the judges will divide it among us."

"You... This money was given to Xiaohu by Little Brother Lu, not my money. If you try to snatch it from Xiaohu, that's robbery." The middle-aged woman roared angrily with a furious expression.

"Mom, don't say that. We are brothers. Xiaohu isn't married yet, so we're still a family. His money is naturally our money too."

Li Dazhi said leisurely, as if the money would soon be in his pocket, looking relaxed and confident.

"Who's a family with you? When Mom was sick, you not only didn't treat her, but also drove us out. Is this what a family does? I know you want the money, but this money is for Mom to take care of her health. It will never be given to people like you." Li Xiaohu said angrily.

"What do you know, you little brat?"

Li Dali was furious, with a fierce look on his face, wishing he could go up and slap Li Xiaohu twice.

In the home of the old village head of Lijia Village, a small-sized loudspeaker was now broadcasting Li Dali's angry shout.

Almost half of the villagers in the village had gathered here, listening silently to the argument coming from the loudspeaker.

Moreover, all the villagers present had angry expressions on their faces. They knew that Li Dali and Li Dazhi were unfilial, but they didn't expect them to be so shameless.

"This is really outrageous. These beasts are simply inhumane!" The old village head was an old man with a strong sense of justice. He had kind eyebrows and a gentle face, and he was the elder with the highest seniority in Lijia Village. But at this moment, his originally kind face had been replaced by anger.

"Yes! Such people deserve to be struck by lightning." Someone echoed.

"Just you wait and see. In the future, the children of Li Dali and Li Dazhi's families will be just like them. When they get old, their children will drive them out. What's that called... Right, like father, like son."

A young man wearing glasses said angrily. He was a primary school teacher in several surrounding villages and also a native of Lijia Village.

After a burst of angry voices, the old village head stood up and said angrily, "Folks, although our ancestors have lived such a hard life for generations, the rules left by our ancestors state that those who are unfilial are worse than beasts. Let's go to Yue'e's house now. I want to see if those two little beasts still have the guts to covet the money for Xiaohu's schooling and the money for Yue'e to take care of her health."

"Okay, let's go together. I don't believe they can turn the world upside down!"

The one who spoke was the village branch secretary, a middle-aged man who looked very serious.

Just then, a boy around eleven or twelve years old rushed into the old village head's house in a hurry. Seeing that there were almost half of the villagers inside and outside the courtyard, the boy wasn't afraid at all. He squeezed into the crowd and shouted loudly, "Grandpa Village Head, that nice car that came during the day is here again. Just now, I saw the car driving towards Brother Huzi's house."

The old village head let out a slight sigh in his heart: Yue'e and her son have really met a good person!

Thinking of the young man named Lu Feng who came to see him before he left, asking him to find someone to secretly run a wire to Yue'e's house and place the microphone of the loudspeaker that was originally in his own house in Yue'e's main room, he felt a lot of emotions. That young man seemed to have guessed that Li Dali and Li Dazhi would have their eyes on that 100,000 yuan.

Waving his walking stick, the old village head shouted, "Let's go. An outsider can respect an old person so much, not only treating her illness but also giving her money. Although we don't have much money, we can't let an outsider outdo us. Regarding the problem of her two sons, we must help them to the end."

Then, led by the old village head, one or two hundred people swarmed towards Li Xiaohu's house.

In Li Xiaohu's house, it was already in an uproar.

Li Dali and Li Dazhi later ignored Li Xiaohu and his mother who was trembling with anger, and it directly became a battle between the two brothers.

"Dazhi, this time I must take 60,000 yuan. Your sister-in-law isn't in good health, and I need to buy her medicine. Also, your niece is at the age to go to school and really needs this money. Don't argue with me." Li Dali said angrily.

"Me arguing with you? You have the nerve to say you want 60,000 yuan. My wife is pregnant. You only have one child, and I already have a second one. Don't we need money to raise children in the future? I'll take 60,000 yuan, and you take 40,000 yuan. Otherwise, we'll part ways, and neither of us will get anything good." Li Dazhi snorted coldly, not giving an inch.

"You take 40,000 yuan and I take 60,000 yuan? Nonsense! I'm the eldest. In the distribution of this money, you must listen to me. An elder brother is like a father. If you dare not listen, you're being disrespectful."

Li Dali shouted angrily.

"Get lost! Stop talking to me about those big principles. If you want to be respected so much, why don't you think about giving them a little? Of course, I know it's a waste to leave the money to them, but at least we should leave one or two thousand yuan for Mom and them to live on, right?"

One or two thousand yuan?

A flush appeared on the face of the middle-aged woman beside them, and then she coughed violently. Obviously, she was extremely angry.

"Both of you get out of here! Do you want to your mother? Get lost! You won't get a single penny of this money. Big Brother Lu said that this money must be left for Mom so that she can eat well, drink well, and take good care of her health."

Li Xiaohu quickly supported his mother and looked up at his two brazen brothers and shouted.

Li Dali stopped arguing with Li Dazhi, turned his head and said fiercely to Li Xiaohu, "What did you say? Do you believe I'll break your legs? In the future, when adults are talking, if a child interrupts again, I'll definitely teach you a good lesson."

"If you want to hit me, go ahead. Anyway, not a single penny of this money will be given to you two ungrateful wretches." Li Xiaohu said stubbornly with an angry face.

"You little brat, you've got a lot of nerve! You've become so arrogant after not seeing you for a few years. I..." Li Dali was furious and was about to step forward and beat Li Xiaohu.

Li Dazhi quickly grabbed Li Dali. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, stop looking for trouble. I think this is how it should be. We'll split the money equally, 50,000 yuan each. Of course, we'll each take out 500 yuan for Mom and Xiaohu. After all, they also need to eat."

Li Dali's anger subsided a bit. He glared at Li Xiaohu and then turned his head and said, "I think that's okay."

Li Dazhi nodded, with a cold look on his face. He turned to Li Xiaohu and shouted, "Xiaohu, give us the bank card and the password of the bank card that that guy told you."

Li Xiaohu shook his head firmly and stubbornly said, "Don't even think about it. I'll never give it to you even if I die."
