Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 714 - 713: It’s easy to talk when you’re not in the situation!

Chapter 714: Chapter 713: It’s easy to talk when you’re not in the situation!

Lu Pengcheng asked in surprise, "Dad hit Mom?" He was extremely shocked! And even a bit incredulous!

Among his classmates’ families or those in their community, households where the father had never laid a finger on the mother were exceedingly rare.

For a long time, such a family style had been praised as a role model.

Even when he and his younger brother Lu Pengfei were looking for partners, this point had won them a lot of points.

Otherwise, considering the disparity in status between his family and Shao Meirou’s, it might not have been easy for their families to agree to the match.

And indeed, he and his brother had managed not to hit their wives.

Even though his relationship with Shao Meirou had grown cold, he had never laid a hand on her.

Now that their parents were of such advanced age, the fact that his father had started to use violence was unimaginable to him.

"Big brother! Could I even lie to you? Dad was truly infuriated; the situation completely spiraled out of control! I even took a few hits to the back!

Fortunately, I was there, otherwise Mom might have been injured!"

Now, Lu Shuhui had truly witnessed it—how terrifying their father could be when he was pushed over the edge.

At the same time, she realized that it wasn’t that their father didn’t have a temper but that he had always held it back and given in to their mother.

But this time, their mother had indeed gone too far. If Lin Xia had not been decisive and her sister-in-law Shao Meirou hadn’t taken a stand with the daughter-in-law, someone else might have obediently drunk that chicken soup.

Even if Lu Pengcheng was now slightly convinced, the raging anger within him was not so easily extinguished.

"With such a big issue at hand, it’s normal for Dad to lose his temper! Without her foolish ignorance..."

Lu Shuhui knew their mother was indeed at fault, but nevertheless, she wanted to offer some counsel, "Big brother! It’s normal for you to be angry, and I can understand that!

But as mad as you are, don’t take it out on Mom now! Isn’t Lin Xia fine now?"

As soon as Lu Pengcheng heard that, his eyes bulged with fury, and he could no longer hold back his temper as he pointed to the tip of Lu Shuhui’s nose and scolded:

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Lin Xia is fine now? How about when your future husband has a child, I give her some abortion pill to take?

When that happens, and I repeat these words, let’s see if you, Lu Shuhui, get flustered or not!"

Some things really don’t hit home until they happen to yourself, making it easy to be indifferent when discussing others’ troubles.

Lu Shuhui’s face changed instantly, "Big brother! You..."

Their argument finally woke up Lu Guangqi and Fang Youlan.

They had been sleeping in separate rooms during their previous cold war, and since Lu Guangqi had hit Fang Youlan in an unprecedented move yesterday, they were even less likely to sleep in the same room.

"The eldest is back!" Lu Guangqi’s voice was hoarse, his face haggard.

The events of the previous day had sent him into a rage, and that had flared up into a bout of illness at night.

Lu Pengcheng had no complaints against his father, greeting him and asking with concern, "Dad! Are you alright?"

Lu Guangqi weakly waved his hand, "I’m fine!"

Lu Pengcheng nodded slightly, then his gaze turned icy as he looked towards Fang Youlan, who was emerging from another room.

Fang Youlan’s eyelids were swollen, her short white hair disheveled, and her complexion was very poor.

After she got home yesterday, she was beaten by Lu Guangqi, and now on her cheek there are still two distinct palm prints, and a wound at the corner of her mouth that has scabbed over, clear signs of how furious Lu Guangqi was at the time.

"Eldest brother is back!" Her voice was also hoarse.

Facing Lu Pengcheng’s accusing gaze, Fang Youlan felt an indescribable sorrow and grievance.

Lu Zheng and the others blamed her, the newly-returned eldest brother blamed her, and Lu Guangqi even hit her!

She had been with Lu Guangqi for most of her life, but she had never felt as miserable and cold-hearted as she did yesterday.

Lu Guangqi beat her like a madman, and if their daughter hadn’t been there to intercede a bit, she believed Lu Guangqi would have beaten her half to death.

When she found out from Old Liao that the medicine was an abortion pill, she fully realized her mistake, and she was also terrified in waves, as her great-grandson or great-granddaughter was nearly killed by her own hands.

But Lu Guangqi simply wouldn’t listen to her confession or her explanations, he just brutally started hitting her.

All the indulgence and care he had for her in the past were gone.

Fang Youlan felt both pain and hatred in her heart, she now knew her mistake, so why did Lu Guangqi still lash out so harshly?

Lu Pengcheng simply stopped calling her "mom" and directly confronted Fang Youlan, "What gave you the right to decide to give Xiaozheng’s wife the medicine on your own? Do you realize that you almost got the child killed by people taking advantage of you?"

"Eldest brother! Mom knows she was wrong! I was really out of my mind, I don’t know what got into me, I was just set on turning the girl in Lin Xia’s belly into a boy!

But wasn’t my starting point for all of you? You and Meirou have only one son, Xiaozheng, and if Xiaozheng doesn’t even have a son..."

It was the same old repetitive speech from Fang Youlan, and Lu Pengcheng did not want to listen at all, he firmly waved his hand to stop Fang Youlan’s prattling.

"Stop talking! I don’t want to listen! What ’for our own good’!

I think you’re clearly just selfish, wanting everything your own way! You want us to do everything according to your wishes, your arrangements!

I came today, not to quarrel with you! Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve! It wouldn’t be nice for the neighbors to overhear!"

Lu Pengcheng originally came here with a belly full of fire, eager to settle accounts with his own mother face to face.

But, the situation greatly exceeded his expectations.

His father had, for the first time, hit his mother, and both of them looked haggard.

His parents were both of considerable age, and with tomorrow being Chinese New Year’s Eve, in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to say more.

Seeing a glimmer of joy on Fang Youlan’s face, she was about to speak when Lu Pengcheng’s next words directly gave her a taste of what was called ’from extreme joy to extreme sorrow’.

"Anyway, I warn you for the last time, I, as their father, don’t interfere in Xiaozheng and his affairs, and you, as their grandmother, have even less right to!"

Lu Pengcheng paused here, not caring about Fang Youlan’s attempt to speak, and a smile spread across his face as he intentionally shared with them, "Lin Xia was found out to be carrying twins!"

Both Lu Guangqi and Lu Shuhui stood up excitedly, unable to believe that what they had heard was true.

But there was no need for Lu Pengcheng to joke about such a thing; thus, it was one hundred percent certain to be true.

With a joyful expression, Lu Guangqi asked, "Eldest son! Did you find out today?"

"Yes!" Lu Pengcheng explained the situation, "Xiaozheng took Lin Xia to Uncle Liao’s to have her pulse taken, and it seemed like it was twins, then they went to the hospital for a checkup! And sure enough..."

"Truly, heaven has eyes! Our Xiaozheng is so lucky! To have two children all at once!" Lu Guangqi’s mood was like a rollercoaster ride, soaring one moment then plummeting the next, the emotional fluctuations were just too great.

Lu Shuhui was sincerely happy for Lu Zheng, "This will make Xiaozheng and his family ecstatic! Two babies!"

After finishing her sentence, she noticed Fang Youlan’s complicated and ugly expression, and hurriedly tucked away the smile on her face, pursing her lips...
