The fake daughter was not exposed today

Chapter 51 We Advise Separation but Not Reconciliation

Jingyang Street, Lu family.

"Your money should have been paid out, right?" Father Lu sat in the restaurant with a bad look in his eyes.

"No, my senior said she had something to do and would come back later..." Lu Chuntai made up an excuse, a thin layer of sweat oozing from his palms.

"Don't tell me she's lying to you, just to get your painting for free. These rich people have dirty hearts." The man was a little impatient.

This afternoon, a man named Xu chased him for two blocks and threatened to break his fingers if he didn't pay him back. So where would he get the money now? After much thought, he decided that he had to ask his daughter to be more "filial" to him.

"Senior sister didn't..." Lu Chuntai retorted.

"Then go call your senior sister now and ask her to transfer the money over, otherwise..." He gave a warning look.

Lu Chuntai lowered her head, hesitating, not daring to pick up her phone. Her father, irritated, reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, and began flipping through her address book.

The call is connected.

"Hello? Xiao Lu?"

"Senior sister..." Lu Chuntai's face looked a little ugly. She hurriedly snatched the phone from her father's hand and hung up.

She didn't want to implicate her senior.

Jiang Fu, who was waiting for a bus at the intersection, heard the word "senior sister" and a series of insulting words. After the busy tone, the phone went silent.

She didn't say anything and called the police directly.

the other side.

"*dirty* I told you to hang up the phone, and I told you not to block my path to wealth!" Father Lu slapped her in the face, making her face turn away.

Hearing the noise, Li Ningxiu hurried out and hugged her daughter.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

Lu Chuntai stared at the ceiling numbly. To be honest, she felt sorry for her mother, but she also hated her for not having the courage to resist at this time.

"I heard the noise from your house from far away. Are you going to pay back the money today?" Uncle Xu pushed the door open while biting a toothpick.

Father Lu suddenly became a little nervous, as if he had suddenly run into the bad student of his homeroom teacher, and he even forgot what to do with his hands.

Uncle Xu waved his hand, and his two younger brothers went straight up and arrested the man.

"We received a report of domestic violence..." Two uniformed police officers came over and looked at the five people in the hut with some confusion.

He and Xu Kun were old acquaintances. When he was young, this guy often used violent debt collection methods, and several police officers in their area were familiar with him. Seeing him and his men holding down a man, he was also a little confused.

"Comrade, it's him. He beat his daughter first and then his wife. This kind of social scum cannot be let off." Uncle Xu was addicted to acting and started shouting.

"Comrade police officer, he..." Li Ningxiu spoke up to defend her husband.

She didn't want her daughter in her arms to suddenly break away from her. "Because I didn't give him money, he beat me. Mom was beaten too in order to protect me."

Lu Chuntai pointed at his face and said, "This is what he just hit me with."

The two policemen looked at the red marks on the girl's face and felt a little sympathetic.

Li Ningxiu wanted to say something when he saw two policemen showing handcuffs.

Lu Chuntai knew who called the police without even having to guess. Thinking of her senior, she suddenly felt that the beating she got today wasn't that painful.

It's like an illusion that I hypnotized myself.

Everyone in the room was taken away. The two male police officers called a female police officer to accompany the mother and daughter to the hospital, while Uncle Xu skillfully took Lu's father into the police station.

In the hospital, Lu Chuntai sat quietly on a chair by the corridor. Li Ningxiu hugged her and sighed.

"You put your father in jail. What are we going to do next? I'm in poor health and just got laid off. No matter how much you hate him, we have to rely on his salary to survive..."

Her health is not good, and if this family does not rely on her husband, I am afraid they will continue to suffer.

"Enough! What are you still praying for? Praying that he will come back home and be a good father and a good husband?" Lu Chuntai's voice collapsed.

Originally, she thought that this kind of life could continue, but she met a senior who earned money through her own efforts. After seeing a bigger world, she also began to become greedy.

She wanted to live in a house with lights on at night, to have a hot meal when she got home, to have a smart phone like her classmates, to wear new clothes from the window... She wanted a better life, and that man was the obstacle standing in her way.

"But we..."

"That's enough! I can just drop out of school and support you."

Li Ningxiu's dry eyes trembled for a moment when she heard the word "drop out of school". She wanted to say something, but her daughter refused to communicate with her and turned away.

"Ms. Li?" The policewoman brought the medicine over and frowned slightly. "I'll go after her."

Jiang Fu came in carrying two plastic bags and bumped into Lu Chuntai who was running out with a gloomy expression.

"Sorry, senior, I want to calm down." She was a little irritated.

It was clearly time to send that man to jail, but the mother was still stubbornly waiting for him to repent.

"This is the milk and bread I bought at the convenience store on the way." Jiang Fu handed one to Lu Chuntai and lowered his voice, "Go rest over there. I'll help you persuade her. Wait, I'll accompany you to the police station to take a statement. Don't be afraid."

When Lu Chuntai heard the last two words, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security.

It seems that with the senior sister around, everything will be fine.

Jiang Fu comforted her, then went up to find Li Ningxiu and handed her a bottle of hot milk. "Auntie, can I call you that?"

"You are..." Li Ningxiu was a little embarrassed.

The girl looked well-educated and her clothes were expensive, so she felt a little uncomfortable being spoken to in such a gentle voice.

"I'm Xiao Lu's senior, you can just call me Xiao Jiang." Jiang Fu's voice was very gentle.

"Ah good."

"Auntie, you think your husband will change for the better after today, right?"

"One day it will happen." Li Ningxiu said with some nostalgia.

Before he became addicted to gambling, Lu Bang was a handsome man, willing to try any job, and eventually landed a job as a branch manager for a major company. But then, a scandal ravaged the company, forcing it to collapse overnight. Lu Bang was defrauded and laid off, and his personality became increasingly erratic, turning him to a gambling and alcoholic habit, slowly becoming the person he is today.

Lu Bang beat her, but he would also cry and promise to change for the better. She always thought that when he repented, the couple would open a small shop and make money to pay off the debt.

"So, Auntie, when do you think he will change for the better?" Jiang Fu followed her thoughts and slowly deduced.

"Wait until he's released from the police station? If he doesn't wake up, and Xiao Lu said those things in front of the police, will he come back to settle the score with Xiao Lu? For what happened today, he'll probably break her legs while you're away..."

"Or, injure her hand so that she can no longer paint."

The woman's heart trembled, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

She could endure Lu Bang's beatings and scolding, but she still felt sorry for her daughter.

"Or maybe he realized it a little later, beat his daughter away, and started swinging the belt at you. When you were lying in the hospital bed and needed his care, he realized it..."

"That... is fine." The woman's voice was a little dry.

In fact, she didn't expect this to happen.
