Chapter 304 Support
When Grandpa Lu was alive, Zhu Huanghua lived with him in the retirement home as his spouse.

Now that the old man has passed away, if Zhu Huanghua has no children, the retirement home will continue to provide her with food and lodging.

Zhu Huanghua had six sons. Lu Lao Er died young, but the remaining five sons were still alive.

According to regulations, her five children should be responsible for her future care.

Taking care of an 80-year-old is no easy task, especially since Zhu Huanghua has an eccentric temper and loves to cause trouble. Nobody wants to take on this mess.

Zeng Xiulan first talked about her family's situation: "The house that Deping and I live in is only 50 square meters in total. Our youngest son and his family of three also live with us. There is already not enough room for them, and we really can't make room for my mother."

The third son, Lu Defa, said, "Dai Mei has been paralyzed for the past few years, and I've been taking care of her the whole time. My own health is also deteriorating year by year, and Mom can't be left alone. It's really..."

The fourth brother, Lu Deqiang, continued, "Our family's situation is similar to that of the eldest brother's family. We share a small, dilapidated courtyard with three or four other families, and we don't even have a place to stay when relatives come to visit."

The fifth brother, Lu Dehong, also said, "Our families are all in similar situations, except for the sixth brother's family, who has a more spacious house."

This is the truth, and Lu Dezhao has no way to deny it.

If it were an outsider, it would be one thing, but Zhu Huanghua is his own mother, and as her son, he can't just turn his own mother away.

But Zhu Huanghua always finds fault with An Hui. If she moves in now, An Hui will suffer a lot of grievances in the future.

Lu Dezhao was caught in a dilemma and remained silent for a moment.

Zeng Xiulan spoke up: "How about this, Mom can stay with Dezhao, and the four of us can split her living expenses. Hui, you and Dezhao have been staying in Rongcheng for so many years and rarely come back. Our families have been taking care of Mom and Dad. Now that Dad is gone, Mom is all alone. Shouldn't you do your part and fulfill your filial duties as children?"

If An Hui were to refuse the accusation of filial piety, she would be accused of being unfilial.

Jiang Moli scoffed and turned to the composed Zhu Huanghua, saying, "See? What's the use of having so many sons? When you get old, they'll all despise you and kick you out like trash."

How dare you call her trash?
Zhu Huanghua was so angry that her lips trembled, and she almost fainted.

The Lu brothers looked as if their fig leaves had been ripped off, their faces turning red and then pale.

Lu Dezhao secretly gave An Hui a wink: Don't worry, the third son's wife will stand up for us.

An Hui scoffed: "You rely on your daughter-in-law for everything, what use are you!"

Fann Wong and Xu Xiuzhen exchanged a smile: This is going to be interesting.

Lu Tingting clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with excitement: Let's fight!

Lu Defa was the first to jump out, pointing at Jiang Moli with uncontrollable rage: "When elders are talking, do you have the right to interrupt? Don't you have any manners?!"

"Speak of rules? Fine, then I'll speak of rules. All of you uncles are Grandma's own sons, right? Everyone has an equal obligation to support Grandma, right? Don't bring up the fact that you took care of Grandpa and Grandma more in the past. They've always lived in a retirement home with dedicated people to take care of them. What do they need you to take care of?"

The brothers were speechless.

They visited the retirement home more frequently than Lu Dezhao, but they mostly just chatted with the elderly couple and didn't really do any serving work.

"Mom, you know our family's situation. If I have an extra room, I'll take you in without hesitation and take care of you until the end. Or you can choose for yourself, tell me which house you'd like to live in."

Seeing that reason was not on his side, the fifth brother, Lu Dehong, tried to appeal to Zhu Huanghua's emotions.

Of all her sons, Zhu Huanghua's favorite was her fifth son, Lu Dehong.

The fifth son is sweet-talking and filial, always managing to make her happy.

She couldn't bear to cause trouble for the fifth brother. The eldest, third, and fourth brothers had all had a hard time too.

Zhu Huanghua looked at all her sons, her gaze finally settling on Lu Dezhao.

The sixth son is the most unfilial; he forgot his mother after getting married!
The sixth son's wife is no better; she is disrespectful and unfilial to her, and she even got a sharp-tongued and annoying granddaughter-in-law to annoy her!
She was considered a burden, but she insisted on living at Lao Liu's house. She wanted to teach Lao Liu's wife and her mother-in-law a lesson while she still had two years left to live.

"I……"

Before she could speak, Jiang Moli spoke first, "Grandma, I'm truly heartbroken for you. Back then, you and Grandpa were so poor you couldn't even afford to eat, yet you never abandoned your own sons who were crying for food. Now they're all high-ranking officials and wealthy, but they can't even afford to support an old lady like you. It's alright, we'll take care of you. After all, we're not ungrateful wretches who would abandon their own mother."

Fifth Brother Lu Dehong roared in anger: "Who are you calling an ingrate? Who do you think you are!"

The third brother, Lu Defa, said sarcastically, "Dezhao, you have no one else in your family, so you actually let a young girl like her be in charge?"

Before Lu Dezhao could speak, Jiang Moli said directly, "That's right, I'm the one in charge. My parents are old and useless, so I'll take charge of this family from now on."

The brothers all stared at her in disbelief.

Lu Dezhao has three sons. If you exclude the eldest adopted son, there's still the second son. It's not the youngest son's turn to take over.

Zeng Xiulan: "Dezhao, Hui, say something! What kind of behavior is this, a junior jumping around like this?"

Lu Dezhao cleared his throat and said slowly, "We're getting old, so from now on, the third son and his wife will be in charge of all the family matters."

Fearing that Jiang Moli wouldn't be able to control so many people, Lu Dezhao simply dragged Lu Cheng into the mess as well.

Lu Cheng wasn't angry.

With him around, he naturally wouldn't let his wife be bullied, not even by her own uncle.

Jiang Moli said directly, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. I have two plans for supporting Grandma. The first plan is for everyone to chip in and send Grandma to a nursing home. The second plan is for each family to take care of Grandma for three months, taking turns."

After saying that, she looked at Lu Deping and Zeng Xiulan, "Uncle and Aunt, I understand your difficulties, so I've come up with a solution for you. The house is occupied by my third cousin's family, right? It's simple, just kick them out and the house will be freed up, right?"

Although they had already experienced Jiang Moli's unreliability, the couple was still stunned by her solution.

Lu Cheng clapped his hands: "You know what, that's actually a good idea!"

Zeng Xiulan was so angry she almost cried out, "Bullshit! Xiaowei has a family to support, where are they supposed to live?"

Jiang Moli: "Auntie, you need to get this straight. Supporting your grandmother is a legal obligation. Your third cousin has been working for several years now, and you're still supporting him like this. No wonder you've raised him into a good-for-nothing who can't even solve the most basic survival problem like providing housing for his wife and children."

"Pfft."

The eldest son's cousins ​​all covered their mouths and chuckled.

The saying goes, "It's not scarcity that people worry about, but inequality." They all harbored resentment and discontent over Zeng Xiulan's favoritism towards the youngest child.

Now that Jiang Moli has publicly called the youngest son a good-for-nothing, it can be considered that she has indirectly helped them vent their anger.

Lu Wei blushed deeply, and his wife Fang Meng was equally embarrassed.

The couple's aversion and disgust towards Jiang Moli reached its peak.

"Disdain value +2, 20000 yuan credited."
