"How can they say that!" Ge Guifen was immediately unhappy. "Aren't their families paying for their schooling? Everyone does this, so why are they laughing at you?"
"Youbang, tell me honestly, how are you doing in school? Are you being excluded by them?" Ge Guifen asked worriedly.
As a mother, I have an inexplicable premonition about whether my child is living well.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Youbang hesitated for a while before hesitantly admitting, "Well, Lu Youxi deliberately brought you to school last time to make a big fuss. Now my classmates at school are all laughing at me, saying that I have a bad character and no ability, and I only know how to suck the blood of my family."
"What a serious accusation! What basis do they have to say that?" Ge Guifen's eyes suddenly turned red. "Don't they spend their family's money to go to school? Why do they spend their own money and look down on you? They don't even think about it. They have lived in the city since they were young. How can they understand your hardship?"
"My son studied so hard, it was not easy for him to get into Beijing University!" Ge Guifen cried, "Why do they say that?"
"It's all Lu Youxi's fault. She deliberately ruined you in school and made your life so difficult." Ge Guifen cried, "I'm useless. I can't help you. Your father was also put in jail by Lu Youxi, leaving us orphans and widows. We have to continue to be bullied by her outside!"
Lu Youbang's eyes also turned red, and he choked up as he spoke, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm a man and I can get through this. It's just that I'm useless and can't give grandpa and grandma a good life."
"I originally thought that I would study hard, graduate from college, find a good job, and then bring you and grandma to the capital to enjoy a good life." Lu Youbang slapped the back of his hand, making a "slap" sound, as if he had slapped himself, "It's my fault that I'm useless. I can't do it now."
"Youbang, don't hit yourself!" Hearing the voice, Ge Guifen really thought that Lu Youbang slapped himself. She was so anxious that she wanted to follow the phone line to stop her. "Who can make a lot of money while in school? She, Lu Youxi, doesn't know what crooked ways she did to make the money. We are different from her!"
"It's amazing that you got into Kyoto University."
Mrs. Lu was moved when she heard Lu Youbang's confession: "Youbang, we know you are a good child. You still think about us and want to take us to the imperial capital."
"But this is not something you need to worry about right now." Old Mrs. Lu snorted coldly, "Whoever makes money will take care of you in your old age."
"Now you have no money, there is no way, but she, Lu Youxi, has money!"
"I also thought that Lu Youxi was capable and could bring her whole family to the imperial capital and let Lu Youxue go to school there." Lu Youbang said, "You don't know that it is very difficult for children from other places to go to school in the imperial capital. They need to go through many procedures and there are still many restrictions. But Lu Youxi easily brought her whole family there and directly let Lu Youxue get a student status in the imperial capital."
"As a brother, I definitely can't let my sister do everything. I'm still in school for the past four years, and I'm not as smart as her. I can't make money now. Let her take care of you first. When I graduate and have a job, I will naturally take over the responsibility of supporting you in your old age, and I won't bother her anymore."
"You can't raise the child by yourself then. You two should raise him together." Mr. Lu said, thinking he was very wise. "But now that Daya is making money, she should also take us to the capital. It's not right for her family to enjoy a good life in the capital while we are still living in this poor Hexing Village!"
"They are living a good life now." Lu Youbang took the opportunity to say, "The lunch boxes for the guests are different every day, and there is meat in every meal. There are all kinds of braised pork and braised spareribs. I don't know how good it is for them to eat at home."
Old Mrs. Lu's mouth was salivating as she listened to this.
They can't have meat for every meal at home now. At most, they can make lard from the fat to add some oily flavor to the dishes.
How wonderful it would be if we could go to the imperial capital, follow Lu Zhenguo's family, and eat meat every meal! "You have seen how lively the imperial capital is. You two are so old now, you can only enjoy yourself there, wander around and have fun every day, how wonderful it would be."
Mr. Lu also became envious after hearing this.
You don't have to do anything when you get there. Just eat on time and go to a restaurant from time to time.
What a blessing it is to go shopping in the capital when you have nothing to do! Moreover, Liu Yushu's cooking skills are really good, much better than Ge Guifen.
Mr. Lu now really misses the delicious food cooked by Liu Yusu.
Unlike Ge Guifen, there is not much in the way of stewing meat, and the white cooked meat still has a fishy smell when it is served on the table.
"When I don't have classes, I will take you out to play." Lu Youbang continued to make big promises to them.
"But the travel expenses will be quite high." Old Mrs. Lu was stingy with money. She felt heartbroken over the money she spent on her last trip.
Although she didn't spend much herself, most of it was spent by Lu Youbang.
"Besides, where are we going to stay? In a hotel?" asked Mrs. Lu.
Lu Youbang pursed his lips impatiently and said, "I'll pay for the trip. I now know where my uncle's family lives. When you come, just go find my uncle. How dare he push you away? Then, you can just stay at my uncle's house! His family lives in a building in the city, which is much better than Hexing Village."
"I've asked around, and there's an elevator in that community, so you don't have to climb the stairs. You can just take the elevator in and out, which saves you a lot of effort." Lu Youbang continued.
The two elders of the Lu family were moved by what he said. Mrs. Lu looked at Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu agreed, "Okay, let's pack up and find a time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to go to the imperial capital!"
A huge weight fell from Lu Youbang's heart.
With the two elders of the Lu family coming to make trouble, how can Lu Youxi have a good life! The two elders of the Lu family were in the room at night and couldn't help but discuss the fact that Lu Youxi was rich.
"When we go to the imperial capital, we'll have Daya to take care of us. We won't have to do anything all day, we'll eat and drink well, and we can be like city dwellers!" Old Mrs. Lu had a longing look on her face, her gaze gradually becoming distant in the dim light of the room.
