"Lu Laogen, Lu Laogen, you come out here!"

Lu Zhimin did not go directly to the Yun family's old courtyard, but instead took Yun Duo to Zhang Juhua's house, where Zhang Juhua's husband was Lu Laogen.

"What's up, bro? What's wrong?"

After calling several times, a man's voice finally came from inside the house. The voice wasn't quiet, but it sounded weak and listless.

Lu Zhimin frowned and continued shouting, "I told you to come out, did you hear me? Hurry up! If you don't come out, believe me, I'll deal with you!"

"Coming, coming," Lu Laogen replied impatiently. After a while, he came out of the house, still shuffling in his shoes and looking sleepy, muttering under his breath, "Brother, really, couldn't you have said something later? It's the middle of the day, and you didn't even let me rest for a bit."

Seeing Lu Laogen's lazy appearance, Lu Zhimin couldn't help but frown. Upon hearing his words, he immediately became angry and rebuked him, "You still have the nerve to complain? I didn't even have lunch because of your wife's matter, and I came out in the scorching sun without complaining. You still have the nerve to complain?"

Hearing Lu Zhimin's words, Lu Laogen lowered his head and muttered softly, "You know that woman's personality... If she really causes trouble, go find her. Whether she hits or scolds you, I won't stop her. Why take it out on me? I can't control her." His tone inexplicably revealed a bit of grievance and resentment.

Hearing Lu Laogen's grumbling, Lu Zhimin became even angrier and scolded, "You're such a grown man, almost old enough to be a daughter-in-law, and you can't even control your own wife? How dare you?" Thinking that Lu Laogen was just like that, Lu Zhimin felt exhausted and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to scold you. Anyway, it's useless for me to scold you. You won't listen anyway, it's just a waste of my breath. Hurry up and close the door and come with me."

"Where are you going, bro? It's the middle of the day..." Upon hearing that he was to come along, Lu Laogen looked annoyed and couldn't help but try to refuse. However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhimin scolded him.

"Do you think I don't know it's the middle of the day? I told you to follow me, so just follow me. If you say another word, I'll slap you!" Lu Zhimin said, raising his hand as he spoke.

Lu Laogen shrank back in fright, quickly closed the door, and followed Lu Zhimin dejectedly.

The clouds couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

Lu Laogen was afraid of Lu Zhimin, but not of Yun Duo, a little girl. Seeing Yun Duo laughing, he asked in a low voice, "Little girl, what are you laughing at?"

Because Yun Duo looked somewhat familiar, he hesitated to be rude. Of course, even if she didn't look familiar, he wouldn't dare to be rude to anyone. Because... if he angered her parents and they came to his door to make a scene, that would be real trouble.

Yun Duo shook her head and said, "No, I was just laughing." She wouldn't admit that she was laughing at Lu Laogen's cowardly appearance.

Seeing the clouds, Lu Laogen didn't bother to ask further. But seeing Lu Zhimin carrying him towards the 'outside the village', he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, where are you taking me? What trouble has that woman gotten into?" They're heading out of the village; could she have offended someone from another village? What a nuisance! That woman is a real troublemaker!

Lu Laogen suddenly felt overwhelmed and his face fell.
