Rebirth Counterattack with Space-Chapter 46 - Harmony in the Family Leads to Prosperity

Lu Aiguo wouldn’t hesitate to take any chance to make his wife look good in front of his dear uncle and aunt. Uncle Erbo and his wife were indeed moved, and their gazes softened as they looked at Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan blushed.

Lu Yun gave her dad a thumbs up when nobody was watching. But then she remembered that they needed baby bottles to mix the milk powder, and they had forgotten to take them out.

She quickly ran to the carry basket to reach inside; seizing the opportunity to take the baby bottles out of the storage space. Going over to Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan, she called out, “Dad, Mom, how could you have forgotten the bottles for mixing the milk powder?”

“Right. How do we use it, Xiaoyun, explain to your grandma how,” both Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan were initially stunned upon seeing the baby bottles in Lu Yun’s hands, but Lu Aiguo quickly laughed, “Look at how forgetful we are. We even forgot this.”

While saying this, he stealthily shot a glance at Lu Yun, and so did Xia Yuan. Lu Yun, a bit embarrassed, just concentrated on smiling.

Lu Yun pulled Auntie Erbo aside and meticulously pointed out the milk powder scoop and the markers on the bottle for measuring water, explaining how much water was needed for each scoop of powder, and particularly stressed not to use boiling hot water to mix it, advising to first mix it with warm water before adding the powder.

Auntie Erbo listened with a confused expression, worrying that she wouldn’t remember, “Oh dear, getting old is no good; my memory isn’t what it used to be, Xiaoyun. Tomorrow, have your mom show your aunt directly, let’s not get involved. Isn’t it said that milk powder really is precious? Even mixing it is so particular.”

The aunt examined the baby bottle further, making sounds of amazement and then asked Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan, “With this bottle, feeding the children milk won’t be difficult anymore. Aimei can handle it all by herself with ease. Our Dabao and Xiaobao are really blessed. But these bottles look different from the usual ones in other families—these are made of glass, right? If it accidentally breaks, it would be such a pity; they must be expensive, right?”

“Second Grandma, there’s no use asking, my father definitely won’t tell. I overheard Mom whispering to Dad, telling him not to tell you all, fearing it would make you all feel bad and uncomfortable!”

Seeing Lu Aiguo’s face becoming uneasy, and his awkwardness at not being able to respond, Lu Yun couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. The things she had suddenly brought up, it would be strange if her father could answer them! It really was a rhythm where one lie had to be covered up with a hundred more.

“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, don’t listen to Xiaoyun talking nonsense…”

Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan then glared at Lu Yun together. Lu Yun made a face at them.

Second Aunt: “…”

Second Uncle also looked thoughtfully at the milk powder and bottles. His gaze grew serious. These things were probably even more precious than he had imagined. Indeed, he had never seen anyone use such newfangled items before; they must not be easy to obtain.

Lu Aiguo gently tapped Lu Yun’s head, “It’s always you who talks too much. Second Uncle, Second Aunt, actually these things aren’t worth much…”

“Xia Yuan is a good person.”

Second Aunt cut Lu Aiguo off, since Xia Yuan didn’t want them to know, they didn’t need to insist on getting to the bottom of it. It was enough to know that these were all acts of kindness for the children.

“We understand the intentions of you and her. This milk powder has truly solved your second sister’s urgent need. She has been worrying about this for days. Living under one roof without having divided households, it’s inconvenient for the children to have more to eat, sigh.”

Every family has its own difficult scripture to recite, and upon mentioning the second sister, Second Aunt couldn’t help but sigh. Everything would have been alright if only that eldest sister-in-law had not been so much trouble. How could the children go hungry? The parents-in-law were muddled, not wanting to offend their eldest daughter-in-law. It was a pity she lived too far away to help. Now with this milk powder, things would be better.

“Now that you’re married, you should live well together in the future, don’t listen to the gossip in the village. Xiaoyun is a good child, you should treat her as your own from now on, and in the future… don’t treat her differently. Children grow on you as you raise them, Aiguo, don’t be foolish. Xia Yuan, if Aiguo loses his head, you come and tell me, and I’ll reprimand him.”

Second Aunt looked at Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan with a complex gaze. She glanced again at Lu Yun, noting the child had become quite sharp. Now that her son liked Xia Yuan, and she had been brought into the family, they couldn’t let themselves be affected by idle gossip and end up straining the couple’s relationship.

Thinking about the various annoying things she had heard these last few days, she felt troubled and at the same time thought it might be better for Lu Aiguo to take his wife and child to Haicheng.

“Has someone been saying something?” Lu Aiguo suddenly stood up, calling out in anger. He could guess that the Su Family must be talking behind their backs again.

The village relationships had always been complex. Even if the Su Family’s actions in this matter were unscrupulous, there were still those who hypocritically stood on their side, posing as if filial piety trumped everything else, feigning sympathy and sorrow.

Lu Yun also widened her eyes, waiting for the rest. Xia Yuan hung her head, concealing the slight embarrassment in her eyes.
