When the news of Lu Jingxing's return home reached Li Xiufang's ears, she angrily brought Lu Hai and Lu Lu to the Lu family home.

"Give me back my husband—"

"Give me back my dad!"

"You bastards, you're spouting lies! What evidence do you have that my husband killed someone? You're just jealous of my family's wealth. Give my husband back to me!"

"If you don't release them today, I'll sit at your door every day and see who dares to associate with you!"

Unable to enter the Lu family home, Li Xiufang could only pound on the wooden door.

My hands are sore from clapping, but Lu Jingxing still hasn't come out.

She could only sit on the ground, crying and wailing, her face covered in tears and snot.

She cried to the villagers who were watching, complaining about her pitiful state, saying that she had lost her husband and her child had lost its father.

The truth is that Lu Jingxing and his group framed Lu Xin for murdering Lu Sen because they were jealous of their family's wealth and wanted to take the opportunity to ruin their family.

An Wan, who was staying in the room, was so angry at Li Xiufang’s accusations that she almost gritted her teeth.

Lu Chunhe was about to go out and teach Li Xiufang a lesson when Lu Yanshu stopped him.

Just then, the noise outside stopped.

Curious, Lu Zhili ran to the courtyard gate to peek, only to see Grandpa He and He Sichen arrive.

Upon seeing them, Li Xiufang, like a sick wolf with its tail between its legs, left dejectedly.

Lu Hai and Lu Lu, who were only good at bullying their own kind but not at being capable, were naturally so afraid of a rich man like He Sichen that they wanted to dig a hole and run away.

Lu Jingxing came out with his luggage bag; he was now going to take a car back to the county town with He Sichen.

He has about two weeks until the college entrance examination, which is very important to him and is a turning point in his life.

Although the school offered him a guaranteed admission to university, he declined, not wanting outsiders to question his own credentials because of this.

Moreover, he was confident in himself and believed he could become the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

The family matters were entrusted to Lu Chunhe and Lu Jingming for a few days, as they were only in their first year of high school and their studies were not yet very demanding.

And my parents will be able to go home in seven or eight days.

He Sichen and Lu Jingxing got into the car and soon left Lujia Village.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, Lu Zhili felt very uncomfortable.

He felt even more distressed after not seeing his mother for several days.

"Don't cry, Fifth Brother. Eldest Brother will be home soon, and Mom and Dad will be home soon too."

An Wan hugged Lu Zhili to comfort him, but she also really wanted to see Yun Ping and Lu Sen.

——

With her beloved eldest son arrested and another incident of someone dying on a path behind the village, Old Mrs. Lu was both upset and frightened all day long.

He hid in his room, afraid to go out and see anyone, for fear of being arrested by the police.

Because she knew the bald man's identity and what he was planning to do last night.

She was involved in setting this connection; she sold that little bitch for a thousand yuan reward.

The man wasn't sold, the bald man died last night, and the department store owner was arrested.

what to do?

What if the bald man and the proprietress expose him? Wouldn't he end up in jail?

After thinking about it for a day and a night, Old Lady Lu realized that the matter was very serious and would drag her down. So, at the crack of dawn, she packed a few clothes and all her valuables and left Lu Family Village early in the morning.

Then he took a car to find his first love, his old flame.

It was seven days later when Li Xiufang realized something was wrong.

She also discovered that all the valuables were gone from the cabinets in Grandma Lu's room, so she knew that the old woman had run away with the money.

Enraged, he smashed the glass mirror, cups, vases, and other items in Old Mrs. Lu's room.

——

An Wan was unaware that Old Lady Lu had absconded with the money, and was busy making pastries early in the morning.

Lu Chunhe asked Lu Jingming for three days off.

He went up the mountain to collect firewood. In the countryside, firewood is free. As long as you have strength and don't slack off, you won't starve.

Lu Jingming fetched water and filled the water tank in the kitchen. He also had to take all the family's clothes to be washed, and clean the living room and yard, keeping everything clean at all times.

Lu Yanshu still went to school for classes.

This was Lu Jingxing's request, because his youngest brother was the best student.

We can't let family matters hinder our future.

Anwan originally wanted to dress up as ugly and go to the county town to sell pastries with Niu Ahong, but everyone rejected her.

So this time, Niu Ahong and Lu Qianqian went to the county town to sell pastries.

Anwan stayed at home and did the chores she could, such as tidying up her room and taking the bedding out to air in the yard.

She dragged Lu Zhili to go play with Grandpa He.

I suddenly encountered a child on the way.

"Lu Xiaoli, what are you doing here?" Lu Zhili exclaimed, surprised to run into her nearby.

Her home was in the east of the village, separated from her own house by a small river, a very, very long distance.

An Wan was also curious as to why Lu Xiaoli was nearby.

"Xiaoli, what's wrong? Did you come looking for us?"

"I..." Seeing An Wan's beautiful face, Lu Xiaoli, who was covered in dirt, lowered her head in self-consciousness.

In particular, An Wan has pretty little dresses to wear, while she wears old clothes that her older sisters can no longer fit into.

It's very old and worn out.

"It's nothing, I'm leaving." Lu Xiaoli turned and ran away quickly, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

An Wan was completely confused. Was Lu Xiaoli here to see her? Or was there something else for her?

"Fifth Brother, would you please go and see her?"

“Huh? Me? I don’t want to go.” Lu Zhili refused outright.

With no other option, An Wan had to go to Grandpa He's place with Lu Zhili to watch TV and eat chocolate and cookies.

This is Lu Zhili's favorite.

I come here every day.
