Chapter 838: 211: I want to divorce you! _4
Yan Erju scooped up half a bowl of rice and grabbed a couple of chopsticks full of greens, "Let Dalong go."
Wu Yanyun said, "Mom, why aren’t you taking some meat?"
The meat was bought by Wu Jinshu. Today was the first day of rest for the couple after starting their jobs, and they had wanted to celebrate properly with the family. So he specifically bought two jin of meat, only to end up like this in the end.
Yan Erju said expressionlessly, "Your grandma is sick and has no appetite for meat, Dalong, go deliver it quickly."
Wu Dalong, carrying the bowl, ran swiftly to Grandma Wu’s room.
Grandma Wu was lying in bed, and upon seeing Wu Dalong coming, she said contentedly, "It’s good to have my oldest grandson, not like those other people, who have forgotten about grandma. Grandma is doing all this for their own good!"
Wu Dalong didn’t understand what Grandma Wu was talking about. After setting down the bowl, he ran off quickly—he was still waiting to go back to his room to eat meat.
Grandma Wu grabbed hold of Wu Dalong’s sleeve, "Dalong, don’t rush off just yet, accompany grandma and talk for a while."
Wu Dalong broke free from Grandma Wu’s grasp and ran outside in a hurry, "Grandma, I’ll come back after I finish the meat. In a moment, that greedy Erlong will have eaten all the meat!"
They were eating meat?
They were eating meat, and they only brought her a little bit of greens and half a small bowl of rice!
It was such a bullying!
Grandma Wu, with a ’clang’, smashed the bowl onto the floor, shattering it.
On the other side, Wu Yanyun heard the commotion and immediately said, "I’ll go check on grandma."
"No need to go," Erju pressed Wu Yanyun’s hand, "Eat your meal."
Wu Jinshu didn’t speak, just silently ate his food.
Wu Yanyun asked somewhat anxiously, "Mom, what’s really going on?"
Erju said with a smile, "Nothing much. Your grandma is probably just in a bad mood. If you go now, aren’t you asking to be scolded? Eat quickly."
"Oh," Wu Yanyun was somewhat skeptical.
The family continued to eat. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
The next day, Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju went to work as usual. As soon as they left the house, the couple’s faces were filled with worry.
Three thousand yuan.
A whole three thousand yuan!
Where were they going to find these three thousand yuan?
In the evening after work, the couple went to the Hospital, ready to sell blood, but the formal Hospital said they were malnourished and advised against drawing blood, so they went to a private hospital instead.
A normal healthy person could only sell 400CC of blood, but each of the couple sold 800CC. After the 800CC of blood was drawn, both of them were dizzy, with wobbly legs.
Yet 1600CC of blood only got them 100 yuan.
Compared to the needed 3000 yuan, 100 yuan was merely a drop in the bucket.
"What should we do?" Yan Erju cried while holding Wu Jinshu.
Wu Jinshu comforted her, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, there’ll be a way. I don’t believe that my mom really bought my sister a bicycle and a sewing machine. I’ll beg my mom when I get back, let her take out that three thousand yuan!"
As a son, he didn’t believe Grandma Wu would be so callous as to not leave them any hope for survival.
"Okay."
After getting home, Wu Jinshu went to Grandma Wu’s room.
Grandma Wu was still lying on the bed with her back to the door, the same as yesterday, without changing her position.
The shattered bowl on the floor had not yet been cleared away.
Wu Jinshu knelt down towards Grandma Wu, "Mom, please give our family a peaceful life again!"
"You mean to say I’m not peaceful?" Grandma Wu shot up from the bed, "I’m your mother! The mother who raised you with her own two hands! Now you treat your own mother like this for a foundling girl! An unfilial son like you will one day be struck by lightning!"
Wu Jinshu cried out, "Mom, Yanyun is the daughter of Erju and me. She may not be our own flesh and blood, but in our hearts, she is more precious than our own. She still needs to attend school; she has to become a college student. She absolutely can’t become someone else’s stepmother. Mom, please take out that three thousand yuan! When the people from the Wu Family come tomorrow, I’ll return the money to them."
"The money’s gone," said Grandma Wu. "I spent over a thousand yuan buying your sister a bicycle and a sewing machine, and I lost the rest."
So this marriage had to take place.
Wu Jinshu looked at Grandma Wu in disbelief, "Mom, did you really buy Jinjin a bicycle and a sewing machine?"
"Yes." To crush Wu Jinshu’s hopes, Grandma Wu took out two receipts from her pocket, "Here are the receipts for the bicycle and the sewing machine."
Although Wu Jinshu couldn’t read, he recognized receipts.
Wu Jinshu trembled all over, "Mom! How could you do this! How can you take the money from selling Yanyun and spend it on things for Jinjin!"
