Luo Zhiyong still didn’t know about the issue between Luo Zhiming and Xu He, and frowned as he looked at Zhou Yunmei.
Zhou Yunmei thought Luo Zhiyong didn’t believe her words, so she continued, "Zhiyong, Zhiming is your own younger brother. You grew up together. Don’t you know what kind of person he is?"
"Mom, don’t speak well of Luo Zhiming anymore. I don’t care if he was instigated by someone or what, the fact that he could do that thing, I just can’t forgive him." Luo Zhiyong looked at Zhou Yunmei, his tone extremely resolute, "From now on, I’ll act as if I don’t have such a brother. No matter what happens to him, if you’re willing to help him solve it, I won’t stop you, but I absolutely won’t get involved."
Zhou Yunmei also knew that what Luo Zhiming did was excessive and it wasn’t easy to speak well of him, so she pleaded with Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, I know Zhiming did wrong. I’ll ask him to come and apologize to you, would that be okay?"
No matter how generous Luo Zhiyong was, he couldn’t tolerate Luo Zhiming doing such a thing. He furrowed his brows and shook his head, "It’s not about apologizing or not, the thing he did is already done, apologizing is useless now."
"What should we do then, after all, you’re real brothers." After Zhou Yunmei finished speaking, she sighed and looked at Luo Zhiyong, indicating she wanted to put pressure on him.
Luo Zhiyong saw that after Zhou Yunmei knew about the issue, she didn’t blame Luo Zhiming at all, and was even making excuses for him, which naturally displeased him.
He stiffened his face and said to Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, I’ll say it one more time, I will never regard Luo Zhiming as a real brother in the future. I am myself, he is himself. Even if he dies, don’t come to me."
"You..." Zhou Yunmei wanted to say more.
But was cut off by Luo Zhiyong’s voice, "If you’re going to speak for him again, then you can just go live with him in the future."
"Let’s stop arguing, indeed Luo Zhiming did wrong here, Mom you should stop taking his side." These words were spoken by Luo Cuilan, who had been sitting on the sofa watching TV. This was the first time she spoke up for Luo Zhiyong, "Mom, you also need to think, if that damned Luo Zhiming had succeeded, your grandson would have turned into a puddle of blood, you wouldn’t have a grandson anymore."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei shot a glare at Luo Cuilan, "Don’t talk nonsense, my grandson is fine."
"I’m leaving now if nothing else." Luo Zhiyong glanced at Luo Cuilan, intending to leave, "You all hurry up with your affairs. Cuilan should go for treatment as soon as possible. Get well sooner and then go back home, and also sort out the issue between Fang Xiu and Luo Zhiming quickly."
In the past, whenever Luo Cuilan’s treatment was mentioned, she would more or less complain about Luo Zhiyong, implying he didn’t give her money for treatment. This time, because Luo Cuilan had received a promise that Luo Honglan was willing to lend her money, Luo Cuilan was surprisingly devoid of complains.
On the contrary, she nodded obediently to Luo Zhiyong, "I know, big brother, I’ve already called home to Jianguo, he will send me money in a few days."
"That’s best, then go for treatment soon. Once you’re cured, go home and live a good life." After Luo Zhiyong finished speaking, he gave Luo Cuilan a look, wondering why she was so agreeable today.
Before Luo Zhiyong could figure it out, Luo Cuilan immediately spoke up, "Big brother, I have an idea, could you help me consider it?"
Luo Zhiyong looked at her, "You say."
Luo Cuilan smiled and said, "Last time when Mom and I went to the hospital, the doctor said that my condition needs to be treated slowly, it might take three to five months, not sure. I need to go for regular check-ups, and only when it’s confirmed to be fine can I stop going for check-ups."
Luo Zhiyong nodded, "Hmm, Mom told me about this, what about it?"
Luo Cuilan thought for a while and said to Luo Zhiyong, "If I stay in the provincial city for treatment, I can’t always keep spending without earning. I was thinking, could you find me some work in the city? I can work while getting treatment and not delay things."
"Mom, do you think it’s okay?" Seeing Zhou Yunmei frown slightly, as if she was about to disagree, Luo Cuilan quickly added, "Mom, if I really start making money in the provincial city, I could also contribute some living expenses for you each month."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei immediately smiled, then turned to Luo Zhiyong and said, "Zhiyong, see if you can think of something for your sister. What she said is right, the doctor said before that treating this condition will cost a lot of money, and we can’t just rely on the Zhang family sending money. It would be best if Cuilan could earn some money by herself."
"What do you want to do?" Luo Zhiyong saw Zhou Yunmei’s money-grabbing nature and gave her a look before turning to Luo Cuilan, "If you really want to find work, it’s not a difficult matter. Just go to any department store to help sell goods or go to a factory to do temporary work. You could earn about 40 yuan a month." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
As soon as Luo Cuilan heard this, she was a bit reluctant, "Temporary work? I’m afraid the salary won’t be that high. I heard that some factories only pay like twenty yuan a month, and you have to work a full twelve hours each day."
"Luo Cuilan, don’t be like Luo Zhiming, picking and choosing before you even start looking for a job." Luo Zhiyong glanced at Luo Cuilan’s attitude and was reminded of Luo Zhiming when he first arrived in the provincial city. He began to get impatient and lectured her, "You have neither skills nor education, what makes you think you can find work that’s both easy and pays well? Do you really think you own the provincial city?"
If it were the past Luo Cuilan, she would have thought these words implied Luo Zhiyong was belittling her and would have started a fuss already. But today’s Luo Cuilan, having something to ask of Luo Zhiyong, was surprisingly pleasant.
Not only did she not get angry, but she even said with a smile, "Big brother, the provincial city isn’t owned by our family, but our family does have a sister-in-law who runs a store in the city, doesn’t it? I see Hong Lan and Yu’er are busy in the store every day. Before, it was said that the sister-in-law could help with the chores, but now the sister-in-law has two children and probably doesn’t have much time to look after the store. How about I help out for a few months? After a few months, when the children are a bit older, and my illness is also cured, I’ll go back home."
Luo Zhiyong finally understood why Luo Cuilan was so amenable today, it was for this reason.
He sneered sarcastically. These family members, they really don’t show a friendly face unless it’s for their own benefit. No wonder today’s Luo Cuilan was smiling so pleasantly.
He shook his head secretly and then firmly rejected Luo Cuilan, "Luo Cuilan, don’t be so idle all day, plotting your little schemes. Pingying’s store doesn’t hire people carelessly, especially someone with your lazy habits, she definitely won’t take you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Cuilan became anxious and quickly said, "Big brother, I’ve changed, I’ve been diligent these days at the Zhang family’s place."
After saying this, she also gave Zhou Yunmei a wink. (To be continued. If you work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
