Chapter 44 -44: What is Aunt Afraid of Youxi Finding Out?

“Dad, it’s time to make a decision!” Lu Youxi said.

“Lu Zhenguo is filial enough, but the Lu Family elders are not just Lu Zhenguo’s parents; it’s time for another son to take care of them,” someone outside the courtyard discussed.

“Yes, taking care of the elderly can’t rely on just one person; that would exhaust the child, right?”

“Since the Lu Family’s elders like their second son so much, why not let the second son take care of them?”

“Either you take daily care of the elderly, and if one doesn’t put in the effort, they should contribute more money. Lu Zhenjia neither puts in the effort nor contributes money, and he reaps all the benefits.”

“I support Lu Zhenguo if he suggests that Lu Zhenjia take the Lu Family’s elders back this time.”

“Right, I support it too. It’s not that Lu Zhenguo is unfilial. On the contrary, Lu Zhenguo is extremely filial, so much so that his wife and children suffer.”

“Any family would be overwhelmed with in-laws and grandparents like the Lu Family elders.”

“This kind of filial piety might have a good reputation, but it’s at the cost of suffering for one’s own wife and children. Such filial piety, I could do without.”

“Lucky for us, our family doesn’t have such extreme and bizarre elders.”

“In our family, the siblings take turns taking care of the elderly.”

“Although my parents live with me and my household takes care of them, my siblings regularly send things over to nourish the old man and woman. It’s not like Lu Zhenjia’s case; he not only doesn’t send anything over, he even siphons money from home.”

“The whole village knows Lu Zhenguo is filial. Now if someone else goes to care for the Lu Family’s elders, no one will criticize Lu Zhenguo.”

“Indeed, if Lu Zhenguo continued this way, neglecting his own wife and children, it would actually be disgraceful.”

“Shut up!” Lu Zhenjia finally panicked and yelled out at the people outside.

He really feared that Lu Zhenguo would cease taking care of the Lu Family’s elders and push them towards his home.

He knew all too well just how extreme his parents were.

With Lu Zhenguo, there were no problems.

He didn’t have to lift a finger, and he wouldn’t miss out on any benefits.

But the idea of trading places with Lu Zhenguo? He would hate that.

Not only was Lu Zhenjia panicking, but even Guifen beside him had a change in expression.

It was clear the two of them knew all too much about the Lu Family’s elders’ character and were unwilling to take them back home.

Seeing how desperate Lu Zhenjia was, the onlookers outside only grew more excited.

The village chief raised his hands high to the crowd outside, “Everyone, quiet down for a moment and let the Lu Family settle their family affairs.”

If you all keep making noise, how will the Lu Family get a word in? Then you wouldn’t get to hear the gossip either.

The village chief didn’t say that last part, but the crowd outside understood his implication.

So this time, the spectators outside maintained a disciplined silence in unison.

The sudden silence caught Lu Zhenjia and Guifen completely off guard—they were stupefied.

Although they wanted silence, there was no need for it to be this quiet.

Just then, during this silence, a sudden “bang” came from the direction of the row houses nearby.

The sound was loud enough to make it hard to ignore.

But nobody was concerned about the noise at that moment.

Only Lu Youzhen, standing beside Guifen, tensed up for a second.

That very second was captured by Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi frowned slightly, wondering what could be making Lu Youzhen so nervous.

Soon after, another noise came from the same direction where the sound had originated.

This time, after the sound, another followed quickly, though much fainter.

After the “bang,” there then came a faint “whimpering” sound—if you didn’t listen carefully, you might miss it.

This “whimper” was much softer than the earlier “bang.”

Fortunately, the scene was exceptionally silent at that moment, allowing the “whimper” to be heard.

Lu Youzhen quickly grasped Guifen’s arm.

Guifen, of course, knew who had made that noise.

But at this moment, it was definitely not the right time to be discovered.

It wouldn’t matter if they found out later; even if Lu Youxi made a fuss, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir.

But right now, there were too many people.

Guifen patted Lu Youzhen’s hand gently, then raised her voice, “Village Chief, this is our family’s private matter. Please disperse the crowd outside! What’s so interesting about our private affairs?”

“Yeah!” Lu Zhenjia also reacted, following suit, “As the village chief, shouldn’t you intervene? It’s inappropriate for outsiders to be spectating our private matters like a show!”

Before the village chief could respond, the people outside started voicing their displeasure, clamoring to watch.

“Do you really think you can hide your shameful deeds and not let others see?”

“What private matters? Everyone in the village knows everybody’s business!”

“Even if you close your doors now, do you think you can hide anything from us?”

But Lu Youxi ignored the clamor outside and strode towards where the noise had come from.

Lu Youzhen immediately became anxious and whispered urgently, “Mom!”

Guifen, removing Lu Youzhen’s tense hand from her arm, stepped forward to block Lu Youxi, “Big girl, where are you going? Let’s first clear up what we were talking about!”

Lu Youxi glanced at Guifen, then gave Lu Youzhen a look.

Guifen seemed a bit more composed, but Lu Youzhen, who usually seemed quite clever, was only superficially so. She couldn’t hide her nervousness at all.

Especially after being glanced at coldly by Lu Youxi, she got even more startled.

With Lu Youzhen’s reaction, it was clear there was something fishy.

Lu Youxi brushed past Guifen with a flick, “Move aside.”

Guifen didn’t expect Lu Youxi to be so strong.

She got pushed aside by Lu Youxi’s simple gesture.

As Lu Youxi moved past her, Guifen rushed to stop her, but someone blocked her way.

Looking up, Guifen saw it was Zhou Shuyan, who had just registered for marriage with Lu Youxi.

“Move!” Guifen said sternly.

“Do you have something that you’re afraid of Youxi finding out, which is why you’re blocking her?” Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow, his tone mocking.

He didn’t touch Guifen, not wanting to give her any reason to accuse him.

He merely stood there, effectively blocking Guifen’s path.

“I… what do I have to hide from her?” Guifen got more defensive, raising her voice even louder, shouting, “It’s just that we haven’t come to a conclusion about what we were just discussing. Why is Lu Youxi going somewhere else?”

Zhou Shuyan didn’t budge, “This is Youxi’s home, she can go wherever she wants. Why do you need to stop her?”

“I’m not stopping anything! She needs to resolve the problem at hand first; what happens after that is up to her, I don’t care!” Guifen argued, “Right now, I just can’t let her ignore the issue and do something else, leaving us elders hanging here. How could that be proper?”
