Chapter 218: Can I still have a boyfriend who doesn’t want to peel shrimps?
After dating her boyfriend Lu Zaozhi for a year, Zhao Lian went back to his hometown with him to celebrate the New Year.
During the meal, Lu Zaozhi took an empty bowl and started peeling shrimp.
Zhao Lian, standing next to her, was secretly delighted. She loved eating shrimp, but her boyfriend always refused to peel them for her. Could it be that he had finally gotten the hang of it?
Unexpectedly, after peeling the shrimp, Lu Zaozhi handed it directly to Lu Ruyan and said lovingly, "I know you like to eat shrimp. You have been staring at it for a long time. You look so greedy. Eat it, greedy cat."
Zhao Lian: ...? No matter how much I acted like a spoiled brat, he always stuck to his guns. He said he didn't like shrimp and couldn't peel them. Was it all a lie? Back then, I thought he wasn't caring, but it turns out he only cared for those he wanted to?
After dinner, when Mother Lu wanted to clean up the dishes, Lu Zaozhi quickly stood up and said, "Mom, you've been busy all day. Just take a break there. I'll clean up."
Zhao Lian was shocked again: they had been together for so long, and he had never washed dishes once. His excuse was, "Isn't this something you women do? How can a man do it?"
Zhao Lian, Lu's mother, and Lu Ruyan were watching TV on the sofa.
Lu Ruyan pulled her affectionately, "Sister-in-law, if you marry my brother, you'll really make the right choice. He's a very good man. As long as he's at home, he'll do all the housework. You don't have to worry about anything at all.
Even outsiders praised him, saying he was filial, responsible, and a good man that was hard to find even with a lantern.”
Zhao Lian sneered in her heart. It's not that I have a sense of responsibility, but my sense of responsibility is only towards your family. What does it have to do with me? She has already made up her mind to break up after leaving this home.
No matter how Lu Zaozhi tried to persuade her, Zhao Lian was determined to break up.
Zhao Lian, who was in a bad mood, went to buy a lottery ticket, but unexpectedly won the 500 million jackpot.
Lu Zaozhi heard it from somewhere and insisted that Zhao Lian looked down on him after she became rich.
She went to Zhao Lian's company and demanded a breakup fee of 100 million yuan. Zhao Lian naturally refused to give it. Furious, Lu Zaozhi attacked her in the street, severely injuring her.
"I want Lu Zaozhi to become a living dead"
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
……
"Zhao Lian, you bitch! Why did you break up with me?"
Hearing Lu Zaozhi's roar, Sheng Jiang immediately turned on the live broadcast.
"Family members, look at this man. Doesn't he look well-dressed and handsome? Let me tell you, the more such a man is, the easier it is for him to deceive a woman."
Someone in the livestream room recognized Lu Zaozhi and asked, "Isn't this the famous filial son in our neighborhood?"
[Isn't it? Whenever he's at home, he does everything, both inside and outside the house. He's good at everything, from washing clothes and cooking to cleaning. He even washes his mother and sister's underwear. He really dotes on his family to the extreme.]
"From what you've described, this guy is so good, it's hard to find him even with a night-light pearl. So what's going on? A guy this good would be snapped up instantly if he were put on the market. Why did his girlfriend break up with him?"
Sheng Jiang said, "This family member asked a good question. Logically speaking, no one would want to break up with such a good man. Someone just said that he is very good to his family. But that also said that he is only good to his family, not others."
Lu Zaozhi's face turned pale with anger. "What are you doing? Zhao Lian, how dare you start a live broadcast?"
Then he turned gentle and elegant again, and said affectionately, "Xiao Lian, we have been together for a year. Don't you have any feelings for me at all? You break up without giving me any chance. I don't believe it."
"Do you have feelings for me?" Sheng Jiang asked coldly, "In the past year, have you ever done housework once? I like eating shrimp, have you ever peeled them for me?"
"Isn't housework your job as women?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zaozhi realized that something was wrong and quickly changed his words, "That's not what I meant. We're not married now, we're just boyfriend and girlfriend. Strictly speaking, you're not my family."
"Oh, so you just watched me do the housework with a clear conscience. When I was sick, you just told me to drink more hot water. I couldn't touch cold water during my period, but you didn't want to help me wash my underwear."
"What's wrong with drinking hot water? Isn't it right to drink more hot water when you're sick? Underwear is your private stuff. How can I, a grown man, touch it casually?"
"But your attitude towards your mother and your sister is completely different. Ultimately, you only want to take care of your family, and I'm not among those you care for. So is there anything wrong with me breaking up with you?"
There was a lot of discussion online, "Yes, this young lady is right. No matter how good a man is to his family, what's the point if he treats himself badly?"
What's the point of having a good reputation for a man like this? Isn't it all just fabricated by his family?
I think he's deliberately trying to create the image of a good man, tricking an unsuspecting woman into coming home and then outsourcing his filial piety by making her a nanny for their family.
[Thinking carefully, I think what you said above is right.]
There are also discordant voices. [I'd say you women are so hard to please. If you find a boyfriend, he'll be a mama's boy who says he listens to his mom. If you find a filial boyfriend, he'll say he'll treat you like a free babysitter.]
[The one upstairs, the one upstairs has broken through? ]
Seeing the heat rising, Lu Zaozhi wanted to yell in anger, but he held back and said, "I will change everything you said in the future. I have done a lot for you this past year and gave you many gifts..."
"Are you talking about the gifts you bought for your mother and your sister, which also come with a gift for me?"
Ginger: "Wait a minute."
Looking through Lu Zaozhi's circle of friends, "Look, come on, I have to thank you. In order to portray you as a good and filial boyfriend, you always take photos of gifts every time you send them. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to collect them all."
Lu Zaozhi's face turned grim. "Even if it's a gift, don't you like it?"
"Ha, that was before I didn't know. I'll return all your garbage to you later. By the way, I spent a lot of money on you this past year, right? I paid for most of the rent, utilities, and the gifts I gave you are almost 2 yuan, you have to return them to me."
"How could you do this?" Lu Zaozhi couldn't bear it any longer. "Besides, you've already won 5 million. Do you still want to argue with me about these 20,000 yuan?"
"That's weird. Even if I won 500 million, what does it have to do with you? We broke up, so why can't I get the 20,000 yuan back?"
"How can it be unrelated? Maybe you bought that lottery ticket secretly before we broke up. After you found out you won, you looked down on me and broke up with me. If that's the case, then half of the 500 million is mine!"
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. Regardless of whether it was bought before we broke up or not, we're not married, so what does the lottery have to do with you?"
As he said that, Sheng Jiang started to hit the person.
"You dare to hit me?"
"I'll hit you, you deserve it! Look at the livestream, is there anyone speaking up for you?"
Sure enough, in the live broadcast room, [Although I don’t like hitting people, this man really deserves a beating]
[That's right, we should learn from this young lady. When you meet a bad person, don't try to change him. Leave immediately and cut your losses. When you can't stand it anymore, there's no need to endure it anymore. After all, when a man hits a woman, it's an emotional dispute. When a woman hits a man, it's the same.]
Yes, I plan to sign up for Taekwondo.
[Fuck, are these women crazy? Where have they learned the Three Obediences and Four Virtues taught by the ancients?]
[Where did this lowly man from upstairs come from? Get out of here!]
Sheng Jiang also noticed this man and thought to himself that he would destroy him that night.
Soon, Uncle Hat came.
Lu Zaozhi was like seeing a life-saving straw, "Uncle Hat, you are here! I want to call the police! I want to sue this woman for intentional injury!"
Sheng Jiang said slowly, "Uncle Hat, we have an emotional dispute. We were boyfriend and girlfriend before. I wanted to break up, but he didn't want to, so he went to my office and made trouble.
He also blackmailed me and asked me to give him 100 million. Even if he doesn't sue me, I will sue him for extortion!"
Uncle Hat asked the reason and said seriously, "You can't beat someone like this, right?"
"Well, it just looks serious, but actually they're just superficial injuries. He's faking it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital for an examination."
The identification results came out, and apart from the heavy bleeding and scary appearance, there was really nothing wrong.
In the live broadcast room, [Is this man trying to scam people? ]
[That's hard to say. If men start to scheme, women won't have a chance.]
Uncle Hat gave everyone a lecture and asked them to go back.
After dealing with the trash in the live broadcast room, Sheng Jiang secretly ran to Lu Zaozhi's house and turned him into a half-cripple.
As for why he didn't become completely disabled? Of course, it was because he believed that with the wholehearted care of his family, he would not let her down.
At first, Lu Zaozhi was unable to move around and lost his job. His mother and sister felt sorry for him and kept comforting him, trying all sorts of ways to cheer him up.
But as Lu Zaozhi looked at the still limping leg, his patience wore thin, and he began to complain, lose his temper, and throw things.
Later, Sheng Jiang couldn't stand it anymore and broke a little of the other leg. Now, one leg was 1.6 meters long and the other was 1.7 meters long. Although he still had a slight limp when walking, at least he could walk.
Ginger thought: I am such a good person.
Duoduo: 6.
Whenever Lu Zaozhi went out, he was met with strange looks. His usual gentle and refined image was no longer sustainable, and instead he looked ridiculous. Gradually, he rarely went out.
Because of his mobility problems, he rarely does housework.
In the past, whenever he was at home, he would get up early in the morning to buy groceries and cook, then clear the table, clean the house, change the bed sheets, and wash clothes and socks.
Now, he doesn't go out, and Lu Ruyan won't get up until 11 o'clock, so the task of cooking falls on Lu's mother.
As time went by, she began to complain. First, when she asked Lu Ruyan to do some work, she was unwilling to do it. "Isn't it usually done by my brother? He even washes my underwear, and now he doesn't do anything?"
"How can you say that? I think your brother has spoiled you. He's having trouble moving around right now, can't you give him a little more help?"
"How can I help? I can help for one day, but can I help him forever? He's become a disabled person now, and it will be hard for me to find a husband in the future.
No, I want to get married as soon as possible! Mom, please see if there is anyone suitable to introduce to me. "
Mother Lu was furious. "How can you be so heartless? From childhood to adulthood, how has your brother ever treated you badly? Now that he's disabled, you're starting to despise him? Not only do you not want to take care of him, but you also want to get married quickly to evade your responsibilities?"
"Mom," Lu Ruyan coaxed her when she saw that her mother was angry, "I don't want this to happen either. But think about it? If my brother is like this, he will probably be like this for the rest of his life. Does he have a job now? My income is not high. We can take care of him for a while, but we can't take care of him for a lifetime.
If he gets sick again, wouldn't our family be in even worse trouble? If I could marry into a wealthy family, they could help our family and we could hire a nanny. You wouldn't have to work so hard to take care of your brother, what do you think?"
Mother Lu thought for a moment and said, "You're right. I'll go out and ask around someday to see if there's anyone suitable."
Lu Zaozhi heard everything the two people were talking in low voices, and his face darkened.
What could be more heartbreaking than being rejected by the family you love wholeheartedly? This is why Sheng Jiang didn't turn him into a complete vegetable.
After a month, Lu Ruyan still hadn't found any rich man.
The main reason was that during this period, Lu Zaozhi had always walked at a height of 1.6 to 1.7 meters, and one day he lost his balance and fell down the stairs.
When he was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that he had broken his ribs and would have to stay in bed from now on.
Most of the blind daters who heard about Lu Ruyan's family situation backed off. Those who were interested in her came from families even worse off than hers, so she naturally wasn't interested. Thus, the blind date never made any progress.
Mother Lu started to complain again, "If you ask me, you should help with the housework more. You run around from morning till night every day, and I do everything at home. Mom is also very tired."
"Mom, you can't blame me for this. Those from well-off families, when they hear that they have a paralyzed brother in bed, are worried that I might be a "brother-supporting demon" and look down on me.
It's all my brother's fault. He was fine, so how could he become paralyzed? He also delayed my chance to marry a rich man! Why doesn't he just die?
The more Lu Ruyan spoke, the angrier she became. When she had nothing to do, she would take it out on Lu Zaozhi, pinching and scolding him. She wouldn't let him eat properly, and she would make soup and rice for him to eat every day, but he still went hungry one day and didn't eat enough the next.
"Ruyan, how could you do this to me? You used to be so well-behaved, why did you become like this now?"
"You used to help me with everything, so of course I could be more obedient. But now you've become paralyzed, not only do you need me and mom to take care of you, but it also affects my lifelong plans. And you still want me to be obedient and sensible?"
Lu Zaozhi was filled with hatred. If he could still move now, he would strangle his sister to death.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt an indescribable power in his body. He sat up suddenly and then got out of bed.
Lu Ruyan was surprised and happy, "Brother, why did you get out of bed? Are you okay? That's great!"
Mother Lu also ran over and said, "God bless you, son, are you really okay?"
Lu Zaozhi didn't answer anyone, looking at them coldly. Suddenly he stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Ruyan's neck. No matter how much Lu's mother pleaded, it was useless. He strangled her to death.
Immediately afterwards, Lu's mother was also dealt with.
Before they died, both mother and daughter had looks of disbelief in their eyes.
Then Lu Zaozhi returned to his bed, paralyzed again. This time, with no one to take care of him, he could only watch himself starve to death.
Jiang, on the other hand, used the winnings to start a small company. After making enough money, he opened a Gama and a nursing home for the disabled, providing services to those in need.
