Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 364 - 362: A Favor Is Kindness, Not an Obligation
"Mom! First, help Second Uncle into the house; maybe what they need most right now is a meal! It’s not too late to regain some strength and then head to the hospital!" Lin Xue knew her mom’s heart was in turmoil, a mix of anger, worry, and pity, so it’s understandable if all these emotions led her to make the wrong choice!
"I’ll go get something to eat from the car!" Zhang Yuan understood what his wife meant and immediately turned to run.
Their daughter was still in the car, peering out the window. It was already dark, but the little one wasn’t scared and calmly waited for her parents to return.
Cuihua quickly stepped forward to support her second brother, and Li Xiuying helped too. Lin Chuan obviously needed to lend a hand. He went over and carried Wang Shusheng, while Liu Lingling got up and led them back home.
The two families lived just a wall apart, so it wasn’t far, just a few steps away.
But before they could leave, Wang Junsheng and his wife in the house panicked. Wang Junsheng was kicked out by Feng Minghua and shouted from behind, "Quick, get your second brother here to lie down in our house!"
Wang Junsheng was clueless, but after being kicked out and hearing his wife’s words, he ran forward.
"What’s wrong with Second Brother? Quick, get inside and lie down! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
He spoke as if he were genuinely concerned about his second brother.
If he truly cared and worried about his brother, he should have visited when Wang Yongsheng broke his leg, right?
Cuihua said nothing, helping her son support her brother, glared, and headed towards Second Brother’s house next door.
Wang Junsheng watched his sister ignore him and started to feel relieved, as fortunately, his sister didn’t hit him like she did Second Brother; otherwise, his face would have been entirely lost.
But it seemed like he celebrated too soon. His sister didn’t send Second Brother to his house but stayed herself, along with his mother.
This made him uneasy. The first was due to his father-in-law’s family, with him not visiting the town to send money or care for his parents.
That woman just keeps causing trouble for him; he’s already mentioned it. His sister surely won’t ignore it, and he planned to get back the money spent on his family from her. But that damned woman stubbornly refused to give the money, fearing he’d face pressure to hand it over if he went to town.
Now it’s a mess; his sister actually came quickly, and even if he did give the money, this immediate issue was missed, and he offended his sister, chilling the hearts of the elderly couple. What if they don’t care anymore? He has two sons who are about to get married; what should he do?
"Wang Junsheng! If you’re afraid of losing face, come in!" Cuihua didn’t even bother calling him brother and spoke coldly.
Her mother had already gone with Second Brother to the yard next door, leaving only her and her daughter. But she wasn’t afraid; he worries about losing face, doesn’t he? Well, let’s talk inside then.
"Sis, you must be tired from the journey, right? Let me cook a meal for you! It’s a welcome feast!" Wang Junsheng led her inside with a forced smile.
Cuihua completely ignored him, heading straight inside with her daughter, passing by Feng Minghua with a cold laugh, not bothering to greet her.
"Junsheng, why did you bring her back? Aren’t you afraid?" Feng Minghua fiercely questioned as they entered, grabbing the man’s hand.
"Afraid of what? She’s my real sister! What can she do to me? I think you’re the one who should be afraid! You’re the one who wouldn’t let me send the money!" Wang Junsheng shook off her hand and went inside.
Feng Minghua had no choice; running away was useless, and she had to face it. She stomped her foot and followed him inside.
Busy preparing tea and pouring water, then she went in to sit beside Wang Junsheng, not daring to speak.
Wang Junsheng kept the forced smile, while Cuihua deliberately waited for Feng Minghua to enter before speaking.
"Second Brother couldn’t send money to dad for hospitalization at the county hospital on time and was beaten so hard by his wife’s brother that he couldn’t get out of bed!" Without any emotion, she stated Wang Shusheng’s plight.
Wang Junsheng’s heart skipped a beat, his mind racing, and he exchanged glances with his wife, wondering if they should find an excuse and say the money was taken by the Feng Family too.
But Lin Xue’s next words dashed that idea. She spoke as if reminding her mom, saying,
"Mom, I’ll go to the county’s public office! Have them recover Second Uncle’s money! Also, bring back the one who beat him for good care! He won’t be out for five to eight years!"
Cuihua nodded, "That’s the right thing to do! This is a society governed by law! Cases of robbing money and assault should be handed over to the authorities for handling!"
The mother and daughter cooperated seamlessly. "Not just that! If it’s more serious, home invasion and robbery would lead to a heavier sentence, possibly ten years!" Lin Xue shook her head and educated her mom on the law.
Feng Minghua shivered, thankful she didn’t foolishly blame her family. If she had done so, it would have been catastrophic.
"Oh, Cuihua! I didn’t mean to grab the money and prevent dad’s treatment! There really are reasons behind it!" Feng Minghua abandoned the idea of blaming her family and timidly explained.
"Oh? What reasons? Don’t tell me the Feng Family also took your money?" Cuihua asked, staring fixedly at Feng Minghua.
"No, no! My parents aren’t like that! They didn’t take our money!" Feng Minghua hurriedly explained, alarmed.
"Then what reason is so important that you’d ignore your father-in-law’s well-being?" Lin Xue asked for her mom.
"Xiao Xue, you’re too young to understand! Your aunt is frustrated! Your eldest cousin is of marriageable age, but he hasn’t found a wife yet, not to mention a job, and he can’t earn money! No girl is willing to marry him!
Thinking of saving more money so he could marry,
It’s not that your aunt doesn’t care about his grandfather; his grandfather has lived to this age, and he’s lived enough. He can’t possibly burden our young generation’s lives entirely! We need to use the money for his grandson’s marriage later! It’s not my fault! I’m doing this for the continuation of the Wang Family line!"
Feng Minghua spoke sincerely but also absurdly, yet it resonated with Wang Junsheng, who nodded along.
"Yes, yes, yes! Cuihua! Brother also has it tough!"
Cuihua was amused and angry.
"Hehe... You find it tough, so you threw mom and dad in the clinic and don’t care! Let them fend for themselves?"
Lin Xue covered her face; her mother had used all those expressions perfectly here, indeed.
But it became something Feng Minghua admired. Seeing her sister-in-law living in Capital City and speaking eloquently, she envied her.
"Then what do you want me to do? Dad’s situation is hopeless! You want me to throw everything away? I still have children to raise! And mom and dad are staying with Third Brother! Even he doesn’t care, and you’re blaming me! That’s not right?" Wang Junsheng suddenly toughened up.
