Chapter 2408 Life is Getting Better and Better

The old lady's gaze swept over everyone. "Today's reunion is something I never dared to dream of before. A few years ago, the thing I longed for most was to find A-Yu as soon as possible and see my sister again. That way, I could die in peace."

Shu Yu quickly grasped her hand, and the old lady smiled, "It's alright, I mean it. I'm so old, all I want is for my children and grandchildren to be well. Now, it really feels like a dream. A-Yu is back, my sister is back, and their lives are getting better and better. I'm truly happy."

As she spoke, she looked at Lu Dasong and said, "Eldest brother, you are filial, honest and obedient, and you take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. You have worked diligently in the fields all your life, and even now that life is better, you haven't picked up any bad habits. Eldest brother, you have done a great job."

Lu Dasong's eyes reddened. "Mother."

The old lady took a sip of wine as she spoke, “The eldest son’s children are all doing very well now. As the eldest grandson, Daniu has always worked hard and responsibly to shoulder the family’s burdens. Now he’s the head manager of the workshop and can handle things on his own, which is great. Cuihua and Lanhua have also found good families, and both of their grandsons-in-law are very capable, which makes me very happy. And Erniu, he studies very hard. Last time, his teacher told me that he has made great progress, and I’m very pleased.”

The people mentioned all stood up. It was rare for the old lady to be so emotional, so they all drank a cup with her.

The old lady quickly looked at Lu Erbai again, "Second son, you've had the hardest time. Ayu was lost, and you searched for her for over ten years, even becoming lame. The family had no money or food; it seemed like all the hardships had befallen you. It pained me to see you like this, but I was powerless to help you. Fortunately, heaven hasn't completely destroyed you yet. Ayu is back, and you've opened a shop. Now the business is booming, and I can finally rest easy."

Lu Erbai tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine.

The old lady spoke again, "These children of the second son's family, just like the second son, have suffered the most. Ayou met the wrong person before and almost lost her life, but after suffering comes happiness. Now she has a loving husband, well-behaved children, and she has become independent. I am happy to see that."

As she spoke, she looked at Shuyu and patted her head. "You, my child, although you are the most promising, the most prestigious, and the most capable among all of us now, you are also the one I love the most. Among all these children, only you have borne everything alone since you were little, all alone with no one to help you or care for you. If I could, I would rather give up this wealthy life now than have you safe and sound and not be stolen by bad people."

"Milk." Shu Yu's throat tightened slightly.

The old lady said, "If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be the Lu family today. Ayu, I want to thank you. I'm also very happy that you're married now and pregnant. I really have no regrets."

Shu Yu didn't drink alcohol, so Meng Yunzheng changed her hot water.

She didn't say anything, but clinked her cup with the old lady's.

The old lady chuckled and looked at Shu Rui and Shu Ning, "And you two, you were so thin and small when you were little, and Aning could barely walk steadily. Now, one of you is a student of the Imperial Academy, and the other will be a highly skilled doctor in the future. Grandma has no worries."
