"When my children come back to celebrate Chinese New Year, I have to be at home too," said Grandma Xu slowly. "I am here. This is like a home and a retreat for them. Once they feel tired and can't make it in the city anymore, they can come back."

After Grandma Xu said this, Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi stopped trying to persuade her.

However, Zhou Shuyan also asked people to pay attention to the situation on Grandma Xu's side.

To be honest, Zhou Shuyan didn't have much confidence in Grandma Xu's children.

Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi wanted to chat with Grandma Xu for a while, but Aunt Fan, a neighbor next to Grandma Xu's house, hurriedly stood outside the gate and shouted, "Aunt Xu, are Youxi and Xiao Zhou here?"

Grandma Xu's hearing is not very good, but Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan both heard it.

"It seems that Aunt Fan from next door is here. I'll go and take a look." Lu Youxi said to Grandma Xu.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Xu stood up and went to the yard with Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi.

Then I saw Aunt Fan standing outside the open gate.

The courtyard doors of every household in Hexing Village are usually open during the day.

But no one came in without saying hello.

If you want to visit someone's house, you just shout at the door. The host inside the house hears you and shouts, "Come in," and you'll come in directly.

It just makes it convenient for the owner to not have to go to the yard to open the door.

"Aunt Fan." Lu Youxi ran to the door.

"Youxi, you and Xiao Zhou should go home quickly. The old Ge family next door to your uncle's house said that your grandparents and aunt heard that you were back and are on their way to your house now." Aunt Fan said hurriedly, "Didn't they separate from your family a long time ago? Before, when you were in school, only your parents and Youxue were at home, and they didn't go to your house."

"Later, I heard that you invited your parents and Youxue to go to the capital for fun, and they came to your house and made a fuss, saying that they wanted to go with you. Now they suddenly come to your house again, I'm afraid they want some benefits again!" Aunt Fan reminded.

The old man and old lady of the Lu family, as well as Lu Zhen’s couple, have always been unwilling to do anything without benefits.

Although Lu Zhenjia is in jail now, the remaining three people are still very powerful.

Moreover, without the income from Lu Zhen's family, the three of them were even more like mice smelling rice and flour. They would pounce on any profitable opportunity, even more excessive than before.

Aunt Fan was too embarrassed to say that this time when Lu Youxi and his friends came back, they brought many gifts for the village chief, Aunt Lin, Aunt Liu and Grandma Xu.

Although others looked at them with envy, they also knew that it was because they were usually nice to the Lu family and helped them with anything they had.

Especially the village chief. Whenever the two elders of the Lu family made trouble, the village chief would go to mediate and speak for Lu Youxi.

It’s only right for Lu Youxi to remember other people’s kindness.

But they brought so many things, what does that mean? It means they have money.

Otherwise, where do these good things come from?

Wouldn’t the two elders of the Lu family and Ge Guifen be jealous when they saw this?

Although everyone in the village guessed that Lu Youxi might have money, they didn't expect Lu Youxi to be so rich.

"We'll go back now. Thank you so much! I may not be able to take care of it for the time being, so please thank the uncle and aunt from the Ge family on my behalf. After the matter is resolved, I will thank you in person." Lu Youxi said hurriedly.

"It's not worth it. We are all from the same village. If there is any problem, we can take care of each other. It's just a matter of words." Aunt Fan hurriedly urged, "Go back quickly!"

Lu Youxi nodded and said to Grandma Xu, "Grandma Xu, we'll stay here for a few days. We'll come back to see you later."

"Hey!" Grandma Xu waved her hands, "I can't run away from here, you guys go back quickly."

Lu Youxi quickly pulled Zhou Shuyan back.

Aunt Fan looked at the backs of Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan, and thought that although Lu Youxi was young, he was steady and thoughtful in his work.

However, Lu Youxi took it to heart and regarded it as an important matter.

How could such a person not help others when they encounter problems? On the way back to Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan, the two elders of the Lu family, Ge Guifen, and Lu Youzhen were also on their way to the Lu family.

Lu Youzhen's fighting ability in this area is not as good as that of the two elders of the Lu family and Ge Guifen, and she has never been of much help, but she is good at finding out gossip.

This time, Lu Youzhen insisted on going along, and she also kept her own thoughts to herself.

She needed to know how much money they asked Lu Youxi for.

She didn't even trust Ge Guifen very much.

Although Ge Guifen usually loves her, but when compared with Lu Youbang, she has to stand aside.

The Lu family has a tradition of favoring boys over girls, and Lu Youbang is a good student and a top student at Peking University.

The two elders of the Lu family, Lu Zhenjia and Ge Guifen all placed their hopes on Lu Youbang.

If there is a thousand yuan, then nine hundred yuan will be given to Lu Youbang, and the remaining one hundred yuan will be considered for her.

Lu Youzhen couldn't guarantee that Ge Guifen would not lie to her.

For example, if she asked for 20,000 yuan, he would lie to her and say that only 10,000 yuan was needed, and then give most of the money to Lu Youbang.

In addition, Lu Youbang is a man with a lot of smart ideas and good eloquence.

By then, it is possible that she could be tricked into giving away even more, or even nothing at all.

So Lu Youzhen had to know how much money they were going to get.

Lu Youzhen knew from a young age that in this patriarchal family, no one would care about her and she had to care about herself.

Look, Mrs. Lu was praising Lu Youbang on the way, "Luckily we listened to Youbang and came back early, otherwise they would have really run away."

Mr. Lu nodded, "Yes, what Aobang said makes sense. Let's listen to Aobang more in the future."

After hearing this, Ge Guifen also smiled and looked proud.

As long as Lu Youbang is here, the two elders of the Lu family will never be able to bully her! Lu Youzhen secretly curled her lips and said nothing.

The two elders of the Lu family, Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen arrived at the Lu family before Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan.

When they entered the room, Liu Yusu was still in the kitchen preparing dinner.

Lu Zhenguo was tidying up the yard.

I haven't been back for a few days and the yard is still quite dirty.

The house also needs to be wiped.

As for the luggage, not only did they not take it out, they also had to pack the rest and take it away.

I plan to start packing my luggage tomorrow.

Lu Zhenguo was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard. When he heard footsteps at the door, he subconsciously looked over.

Soon after, the two elders of the Lu family rushed in through the open courtyard gate along with Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen.

"Lu Zhenguo!" Old Mrs. Lu came in and shouted angrily.
