Chapter 160: Grandma Lu's Death

In Big Stone Village.

Lu Cheng Yu once again put his heart and soul into preparing for the exam.

Two years ago, Grandma Lu fell ill. Tang originally thought about sending for a doctor, but soon she changed her mind, she was afraid the treatment fee would be a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

Grandma Lu cried bitterly and loudly in excessive grief when no one paid her any attention, she demanded to see a doctor and buy the best medicine.

Tang had locked Grandma Lu in her own room, ignoring all her requests. Grandma Lu always cried, demanding to see her favorite grandson, Lu Cheng Yu, but Lu Cheng Yu was too focused on his study to divert his attention, and deep down he was afraid what if Grandma Lu needed a large amount of treatment fee, so he chose to ignore his grandmother.

Tang was afraid that Grandma Lu would cause a ruckus in the village, incurring criticism about her and her son being unfilial, affecting Lu Cheng Yu's reputation. So Tang locked Grandma Lu in her room and only gave her a bowl of porridge every day.

Grandma Lu, who was senile and sick, didn't have the energy or strength to make a scene with only a bowl of porridge every day.

Grandma Lu hoped her sons to stand up for her, but they were all worried about the treatment fee, so they chose to ignore this 'burden' and turn a blind eye to Tang's doing.

There were villagers who had to sell their farmland to raise money to treat the elders in the family, no one in the Lu Family was willing to do that for Grandma Lu.

When Tang saw that everyone at home approved of her plan tacitly, she suddenly felt confident, She started to treat Grandma Lu in a flagrant way. She used to cook porridge for Grandma Lu, but soon she just served Grandma Lu leftovers.

Of course, the leftovers in a peasant family was very coarse. Grandma Lu felt unutterably depressed, she had been domineering her whole life, and now she was mistreated to this degree, Grandma Lu let out a bellow of tearful rage.

Grandma Lu asked Tang to bring Lu Cheng Yu to her, but Tang turned her down without even telling Lu Cheng Yu that his dying grandmother wanted to see him because a mother knew her son, Tang knew Lu Cheng Yu had no interest to see Grandma Lu.

Grandma Lu would often think about Lu Lin's after on her deathbed, she regrated for not treating her second son better when he was alive, but it was too late.

Grandma Lu succumbed to grief, no one was around when she passed away.

After Grandma Lu died, Tang made an excuse that Grandma Lu's illness might be contagious and quickly buried her for fear that the villagers might see that Grandma Lu was mistreated.

......

Lu Cheng Yu was busy preparing for his exam while the villagers were busy with autumn harvest. Big Stone Village was a busy scene.

"Butcher Zhang's son is back. I heard that Lu Lin was transferred to the Fish Cabin county."

"Really? He is transferred to another post?"

"Yeah! The travelling merchants also said the same. They are worried that the new magistrate in Sha County is difficult to get along with."

Lu Lin came from Forest Town. When the travelling merchants from Sha County arrived at Sha County, they would usually pay a visit to Lu Lin.

"Fish Cabin County? That place seems to be rather famous!"

"A few years ago, Sha County was poor and dangerous. Naturally, it was no match for the Fish Cabin county. However, in the past few years, Sha County has been in the ascendant. It's a pity that Lu Lin was transferred."
