1086: They Deserved It

They Deserved It

"Stop it. That old lady is already so old. If you don't let her bring her son out, how can she be at ease? She's so old. It's not easy for her to make a living. You don't have to do that," Lu Yuqing advised. "I heard that he's usually very quiet and has never gone crazy. It might be just this time."1

Lu Yuqing was very soft-hearted. She was like Mrs. Lu, a typical sharp-tongued but soft-hearted person.

"Sister, that is not the first time he scared my wife."

Lu Xingzhi frowned. "The last time at the train station, he threw her onto the ground, scaring her to death."

After a pause, Lu Xingzhi continued to say, "I'm kind enough not to kill him for calling Jiang Yao his wife."

Lu Xiaoxiao tugged at Lu Yuqing and said, "Sister, I know you feel sorry for them, but I think they deserve it! They deserve it! It's karma! It's God's retribution for them!"

"Why do you say that?"

Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao. "Do you know them?"

"I don't know them, but a friend of mine used to be their neighbor in their hometown; they lived next to each other," Lu Xiaoxiao said. "My friend told me about them. I did feel sorry for them before, but after I found out, I think that they deserved it."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Yao swallowed the orange in her mouth and took another two bites. The sweet orange juice gushed into her mouth. Her eyes lit up, and she peeled a piece and brought it to Lu Xingzhi's lips. "Open your mouth and taste it! It's really sweet!"

When Lu Xingzhi saw Jiang Yao smile like that because of the sweet orange, he wondered if he should buy all the oranges from the stall owner so that she could eat them happily.

Oranges were easy to store. If she got pregnant in the future and had a craving for them, she could eat them to her heart's content.

"It's very sweet, right? My friend said that the oranges were from a good location in the mountain with good sunlight. All the oranges from there were very sweet!" Lu Xiaoxiao laughed. Then she said, "My friend told me that the man was not crazy in the past. Something provoked him, and gradually he became like that."

"What kind of provocation could turn a normal person into a crazy one?"

Lu Yuqing thought for a moment and took a guess. "He kept saying that his wife was coming home. Did his wife die in an accident; that was what provoked him?"

"Sister, if he became like that because his wife died in an accident, then I would only sympathize with him. Why would I say that he deserved it? The reason he became like that is related to his wife, but his wife did not die. She left on her own." Lu Xiaoxiao munched on an orange. Then, she said leisurely, "His wife left because of him and his mother. I think she made the right decision. If she did not leave, perhaps she would be tortured in their house."

"Hurry up and say it. Why are you keeping me in suspense?" Lu Yuqing urged Lu Xiaoxiao and took the orange from her hand. "Eat it after you say it!"

Lu Xiaoxiao pouted and snatched it back before she ate in one gulp. She puffed her cheeks and chewed for a while before she swallowed it. Lu Yuqing laughed when she saw that.

"Satisfied? Can you tell us now?" Lu Yuqing teased Lu Xiaoxiao after she swallowed it. "Those who don't know would think that you have never eaten an orange in your life!"
