Chapter 48(1/2)
Lu Huairou and Lu Xueling were indeed twins. They stood against the wall in the room, arms folded, frowning, with exactly the same posture and expression.
Zhu Pandi and Lu Churri sat in rows beside the bed, filled with anxiety, waiting for their parents' fate to be judged.
"Lu Churro, that's ok. Now that you've become more capable, can you still take the children home for the night? Isn't there enough for you to play in the school?"
"That's not the case." Lu Churro explained: "Zhu Pandi is... she will be beaten at home, so she came to my house to take refuge. I saw injustice on the road and drew my sword to help! Grandpa should support me!"
Lu Huairou came over and tugged her ears hard: "Whose child doesn't get beaten, and you need to see injustice on the road?"
Lu Churro grinned in pain and quickly avoided him, hiding behind Lu Xueling.
Lu Xueling said helplessly: "Send the child back. The parents will be very anxious if the child is lost."
Zhu Pandi whispered: "They will only be anxious if their brother is lost."
Lu Churro stood in front of Zhu Pandi and opened his arms to protect her: "Grandpa, Zhu Pandi will definitely be beaten to death when she goes back! We can't ignore death without saving her!"
Lu Huairou did not realize the seriousness of the problem and said: "Little girl Pian'er, do you really think of yourself as a hero of Liangshan?"
Lu Congee: "If I were a hero in Liangshan, I would roar when I see injustice on the road and scare away all the bad guys!"
When Zhu Pandi saw that Lu Churro was at odds with her grandfather, she quickly tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Corridge, forget it, I... I'll just leave, so I won't cause any trouble to you."
Lu Churro took Zhu Pandi's hand and opened her sleeves to show Lu Huairou and Lu Xueling: "This is what Zhu Pandi's grandma boiled with boiling water. Her grandma is very bad. She always favors her younger brother! She bullies her.
"
Lu Xueling saw that the little girl's forearm was indeed red abnormally, and exclaimed: "Oh! Why didn't you tell me earlier! If you are permed like this, you should go to the hospital for prompt treatment!"
"I...I'll call 120 right now!"
"There is no need to call the emergency number." Lu Xueling saw that there were no blisters, so he said: "I have burn ointment at home, but fortunately there is only a small piece and it is not serious. Go get the first aid kit."
Lu Zhouzhou ran out like a gust of wind, and soon ran over with a first aid kit in his arms.
Lu Xueling gave emergency treatment to Zhu Pandi's wound. After disinfecting it, he applied burn ointment and then lightly bandaged it.
"Is this permed by your grandma?"
"Um."
"Why?"
Zhu Pandi glanced at Lu Churro and whispered: "Because I'm not good, I catch earthworms to scare my brother."
Hearing the word "earthworm", Lu Huairou pinched Lu Churro's ears: "Is it your bad idea?"
"It's not Lu Zhouzhou's fault!" Zhu Pandi quickly explained: "It's my own fault."
Lu Xueling realized the complexity of Zhu Pandi's problem, pulled her to sit down, and said softly: "Tell me about your family. Do your parents not care if grandma treats you like this?"
"Well..." Zhu Pandi hesitated.
Lu Xueling said gently: "You can tell me the truth and see if I can help you."
No one has ever cared about Zhu Pandi like this. Seeing Lu Xueling's concerned expression, her eyes suddenly turned red: "Dad runs a business and opens a company, and is busy outside every day. Mom can't talk at home, and grandma makes all the decisions at home.
,Grandma likes my younger brother, but doesn’t like me, and so does my father..."
The little girl couldn't help crying when she talked about her grievances.
Lu Huairou heard Lu Churro mention Zhu Pandi in a few words in the past, but he didn't think much about it at the time. Now it seems that Zhu Pandi's family is really problematic. It is a family that favors sons over daughters.
In the past, when Lu Huairou grew up, it was a very common phenomenon to favor boys over girls, but he did not expect that decades later, such a backward phenomenon would still exist in today's era.
In the Gaochi family where Lu Huairou was born, his parents favored his elder sister more. They told him to listen to his sister in everything and protect her outside. So even though Lu Huairou had such a proud temperament, he had to respect Lu Xueling.
Let three points.
Lu Churro looked at Lu Huairou and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, we won't ignore death, right?"
Lu Huairou patted her head: "You are using idioms indiscriminately again, you are not going to die."
"Then will Zhu Pandi stay?"
Lu Huairou glanced at Lu Xueling.
Whenever he couldn't make up his mind, he would choose to trust his sister.
Lu Xueling said: "It's too late now. The child will stay at our house tonight and wait until the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow. But we must call home to report that he is safe."
Zhu Pandi nodded and agreed.
The call was answered by Zhu Pandi's mother: "Where have you gone? Grandma said you used earthworms to scare your brother and pushed him to the ground. Your father lost his temper at home!"
"I...I...I'm at my classmate's house."
The call was immediately picked up by Zhu Pandi's father: "Zhu Pandi, I give you a limit of half an hour to come back! Otherwise you will never come back!"
Zhu Pandi's hand holding the phone was shaking, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Finally, Lu Huairou couldn't stand it anymore, took the phone and said: "I am Zhu Pandi's classmate's grandfather, she is at our house. It is too late now, let her and our children rest first, tomorrow's parent-teacher meeting, you are the best
Come here in person and I will give the child to you."
After speaking, without waiting for the other party to respond, Lu Huairou hung up the phone and murmured dissatisfiedly: "Who is this person?"
Zhu Pandi said tremblingly: "After finishing the porridge, my dad will definitely beat me to death."
"It's illegal to kill someone. Even if you were his biological daughter, he wouldn't dare!"
"Sometimes, I really wish I wasn't his daughter."
"Don't think so much. As long as my grandpa is here, you will be fine!" Lu Churro looked at Lu Huairou and said, "Right."
"What is it! Don't give me a big deal, I didn't promise anything."
No matter how powerful Lu Huairou was, she couldn't put her hands into other people's homes. At most, she could just take the little girl in for a night.
At night, Lu Churro hugged Zhu Pandi to sleep and told her a bedtime story before going to bed.
Lu Huairou gently closed the door to the room and walked to the living room.
Lu Xueling was lying on the sofa applying a facial mask. Lu Huairou sat next to her and asked, "Sister, what should I do?"
"When something happens, just call me sister."
"This is a family matter that even the police can't control. Do I have the right to do it?"
"Then don't worry about it." Lu Xueling sat up, threw away the mask, and patted his fair and tender skin: "We will send the child back at the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow. This matter has nothing to do with us."
"But..." Lu Huairou frowned: "It always feels weird."
It's just that he didn't know about this. Now that he knows, it doesn't seem to be his style to just sit back and ignore it.
"Brother, you are a public figure, and your words are influential, so you should be cautious in making any decisions." Lu Xueling patted him on the shoulder: "I advised you in the past, but you never listened and acted arbitrarily.
Can you listen now? If this matter is not handled properly, it will not have a good impact on you."
That night, Lu Huairou couldn't sleep for a long time.
He walked to Lu Churro's room door and looked at the little girl's sleeping face.
He promised that as long as he was around, Lu Churro's childhood would never end.
He hopes to give her all the beauty in the world, and he wants to protect her and the world around her.
*
At the parent-teacher meeting the next day, Lu Huairou drove her two children to the school.
In the classroom, parents sit next to their children, waiting for the parent-teacher meeting to be held.
Lu Huairou led Lu Porridge into the classroom, and the parents in the classroom broke out into quite a commotion——
"It's Lu Huairou!"
"G, he actually came to hold a parent-teacher meeting in person!"
"Finally met in person!"
"I, I, I...can I take a photo?"...
Most of the parents present had heard from their children that Lu Huairou was Lu Churro's grandfather, but had not had the opportunity to see it with their own eyes. This parent-teacher meeting became an opportunity for them to meet their idol.
Zhu Pandi has been following Lu Churro, and Lu Churro holds her hand tightly.
Zhu Pandi's father's name is Zhu Yaozu, a middle-aged man in his thirties. He came to the classroom early and sat in the corner.
Originally, he didn't plan to come over to hold a parent-teacher conference for his daughter. In the past, such matters were left to her mother. He had to manage the company and had a precious son at home, so how could he find time to hold a parent-teacher conference for his daughter.
But Lu Huairou's tone on the phone yesterday really made him angry. He came here today just to have a good argument with him.
How shameless is it to interfere in his family's housework?
When Zhu Pandi saw Zhu Yaozu, her legs trembled and she shouted tremblingly: "Dad."
"You still know I'm your dad!"
Zhu Yaozu walked over, raised his hand and slapped Zhu Pandi on the face.
Lu Huairou, with quick eyes and quick hands, pinched his wrist.
"what are you doing!"
