Chapter 6 Progress +3%

When Old Lady Lu arrived home, the three of them were in the most chaotic situation.

She pulled Lu He away as soon as she entered the room, not looking at the two people sitting on the ground hugging each other and crying bitterly, "Da He, if there is anything, let's talk about it in private, don't do anything yet."

"Mom, don't stop me. We have to make things clear today." Lu He was held by the hand by Old Lady Lu. He didn't dare to make any big movements for fear of hurting her, but his attitude remained firm.

He pointed at the two people on the ground. If Old Lady Lu hadn't stopped him, he would probably have kicked them a few times.

Xiuhe had no intention of listening to what Old Lady Lu said, nor did she care that she was still pregnant. Her mind and eyes were filled with only her lover.

She lay on Lu Yu, crying and caring about the injuries on his face.

Lu Yu, whose face was already hurting, was almost suffocated by the weight of the person leaning on him. Furthermore, his brother was staring at them angrily.

If he hadn't been beaten so hard by his brother that he couldn't lift his arms, he would have pushed the crazy woman away.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it and could only be pestered by this crazy woman. He wished he could close his eyes and faint.

But reality does not allow it, and neither does Mrs. Lu.

Seeing her eldest son growing increasingly angry, and her youngest son clinging to his sister-in-law without letting go, she wished she could kick the pregnant woman away herself. "Isn't that enough? Are you going to go to the village entrance and tell everyone that our eldest daughter-in-law and my younger brother are having an affair?"

"Will you be happy if I piss you off to death?"

When Old Lady Lu said this, they were indeed shocked.

Seeing the two people still hugging each other on the ground, she stepped forward and pulled Xiuhe away from Lu Yu, and started fighting on behalf of her eldest son.

While beating him, he scolded her, "How can you be so ignorant? You believe everything others say. You even dare to touch your sister-in-law. You have no brains at all?"

"Why don't you apologize to your elder brother?" Her beating seemed to make a loud noise, but it didn't hit Lu Yu hard, and it was more of a reproach.

Although she wasn't very courageous, Xiu He, who was confused, wanted to speak up at this time, "Mom, stop fighting. What if Lu Yu gets hurt?"

"Why should you care? I, your own mother, haven't said anything, why are you so anxious?"

"What? Wanting to be his wife isn't enough, you want to be his mother too? Why didn't I see you were so greedy when you married my Dahe?"

When it comes to her two sons, she is very sensitive to them and can neither scold nor beat them. However, she is not so polite to her daughter-in-law. She wants to vent all her anger on her.

He didn't care about her being a pregnant woman and just asked the two men to kneel beside her.

After being disturbed by Old Lady Lu, Lu He almost lost the desire to hit anyone, but he still wanted an explanation for the child in Xiu He's belly. "Tell me the truth, whose child is that in your belly?"

"It's Brother Lu Yu's." In fact, Xiuhe was not quite sure whose child was in her belly, but she was now determined to be with Lu Yu, so she insisted that the child in her belly was Lu Yu's.

Lu He, who had just calmed down, wanted to rush forward and throw two more punches after hearing this. Old Mrs. Lu tried her best to stop him.

Lu Yu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, immediately got up and hugged Mrs. Lu's legs, "Mom, it's not mine! Sister-in-law is lying, I didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything, so what are you two doing shirtless on the bed? Are you taking me for a fool?"

"My sister-in-law always said that my brother never touches her when he comes back."

"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Lu slapped the two brothers to stop them from saying anything embarrassing.

She called Lu He back to suppress the matter, but she didn't expect that the matter would become worse now. She felt so bitter that she couldn't say anything.

Old Mrs. Lu no longer cared about the group of onlookers outside. The most important thing now was to calm Lu He down first.

The crowd sitting at the door watching the excitement heard one melon after another popping out, their mouths unable to keep up with the speed at which their brains were eating the melons, and then they heard Old Lady Lu's scolding one after another.

"I didn't expect this old woman to be so good at scolding people." This is the sigh of the onlookers who have never seen her scolding people.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, her swearing skills are still as good as before." This was the sigh of Lian Hua who knew how good she was at swearing.

Everyone said that Lianhua's words were unpleasant and easily offended people, but now it seems that she speaks much more pleasantly than Old Lady Lu.

"Do you think that if this matter ends up happening, will Mrs. Lu chase Lu Yu away?"

This is also what the system is curious about.

Although it has a strong ability to collect information, human imagination still breaks through its deductive ability, making Tong curious about the direction of the next story.

[Host, what do you think will happen in the end? ]

"I think no one will leave in the end." Lu Xing judged based on his memories of his previous life.

Although it is said that the 1990s were a golden age and that one could make a fortune by seizing opportunities, neither of the two brothers, Lu He and Lu Yu, seemed to be capable of achieving success.

It was considered a high salary for Lu He to earn a few hundred yuan working in other places, but it was still a bit difficult for one person to support three people, and Xiuhe was pregnant.

As for Lu Yu, he can't be relied on at all. He is still doing nothing and relying on Old Lady Lu for support.

Her family's situation does not support the two brothers getting new wives, and Xiuhe's family is not easy to talk to, so they may not agree to cancel the engagement.

So even though the situation is so big now, maybe if we close the door and persuade them for a few days, they can be a harmonious family again.

"Ah? No way, you can even tolerate this?" Several newly married wives in Xiaoshi Village were a little bit incredulous when they heard Lu Xing's words. "That's too frustrating."

"Do you think marriage is just about dating, where you can be happy together if you're happy and break up if you're not?"

The older sisters were about the same age as Lu Xing. They had lived for so many years and had seen all sorts of outrageous things. Compared to the young and energetic young wife, their thoughts were more complicated.

"It's not certain. Can his mother tolerate such a big thing? Can Lu He tolerate it?" Some people have different opinions.

Old Mrs. Lu inside was cursing heatedly, and the people outside were watching and discussing heatedly.

Village chief Lu Zhengde came to ask his mother to go home for dinner after work, but he found that almost half of the villagers gathered at the door of Lu Xing's house, discussing something important.

His mother and some of his aunts greeted him when they saw him coming, "Zhengde is here?"

"It's quite hard for Zhengde to be the village chief. He runs around all day long."

The village chief looked at his mother and said, "Mom, the meal is ready. Do you want to go home?"

"You eat first, I'll chat with them for a while." Liu Hehua had no intention of getting up. She waved her hand casually and went back to chatting.

He wanted to ask what happened, but the aunts were chatting enthusiastically and had no time to pay attention to him.

When Mrs. Lu saw him, she closed the door immediately.

Once the door is closed, people sitting outside can no longer see the excitement.

It was almost time for dinner, so everyone packed up and prepared to go home.

Only the village chief not only knew nothing, but was also blamed by his mother for ruining things.

When I got home, the food was cold.

Village chief: I feel excluded. Today is the day I don’t want to be the village chief of Xiaoshi Village.

…………

When Lu Xing returned home, the system told her good news. The task progress bar that they were completely confused about actually moved, and the exploration degree increased by 3%.

[Host, look! The mission progress bar is moving! Woohoo, there's finally hope for the mission.]

[Also, after the task progress bar started moving, some of the functions I had lost were also unlocked, so I can help the host better in the future.]

Despite this huge surprise, Lu Xing also had a question.

"Really? That's great. What have we done recently to make the progress bar go up?"

Yiren Yitong began to review what happened after his rebirth from the beginning.

Since Lu Xing was reborn, she has never traveled far and has not done much farm work.

Apart from eating and sleeping, what they do most is gossip.

Could it be that this exploration progress bar represents my understanding of the people around me?

The system also raised a question, [Could it be... that our future exploration mission is just to go around and watch the fun and gossip? ]

"It's possible, do you want to try it?"

[Okay, then I'll look for more information in the database.]

The system is very efficient and found hundreds of similar information at once.

It read out one sentence at a time, and Lu Xing listened while looking at the progress bar expectantly.

Ten minutes passed, and nothing happened...

An hour passed, and it was still the same...

System:QAQ.

Lu Xing: "It's okay, at least I enjoyed listening to the gossip, thank you."

Life may not go as planned, but we can just keep trying next time.
