Chapter 224 People are afraid of comparison



This was something Lu Zhenguo had never thought about before.

But people are afraid of comparison.

Before Lu Youxi came to the imperial capital and when he was still in Hexing Village, he had no idea what the imperial capital was like. All he knew about it came from Lu Zhenjia and Ge Guifen.

He thought that survival in the imperial capital was extremely difficult and stressful.

But after following Lu Youxi here, I realized that although the pressure here is great, there are also many opportunities.

As long as you work hard, you can always find a way to make money.

No matter how much or how little you earn, as long as you can survive, there will be no problem.

Not to mention compared to Hetai Town, even compared to Fengnan City, there are many more opportunities.

Now no one would believe how difficult it was for Lu Youbang in the imperial capital.

Why can Lu Youxi make money even though they are both in the imperial capital?

Why did Lu Youxi not neglect his studies while making money? Or was Lu Youbang not working hard enough?

Therefore, Lu Zhenguo also had a lot of opinions about Lu Youbang.

With the comparison with Lu Youxi, Lu Zhenguo no longer thinks highly of Lu Youbang.

Lu Zhenguo was not good at hiding his expression, and it showed a little bit on his face.

Although Lu Youbang didn't know what Lu Zhenguo was thinking, looking at Lu Zhenguo's expression, it seemed that he didn't think much of him. Lu Zhenguo seemed to be a little dissatisfied with him.

Lu Youbang was stunned.

Why does Lu Zhenguo look down on him?

Now that you have come to the capital and have a house to live in, you feel like a citizen of the capital, and your mood becomes higher, right?

Lu Youbang suppressed his displeasure and said to Lu Zhenguo: "Uncle, Grandpa had a stroke."

"What?" Lu Zhenguo was shocked as if he was struck by lightning. How could such a sudden thing happen? "Did your grandfather have a stroke? How could he have a stroke?" Lu Zhenguo was shocked, even a little unsteady on his feet, and took two steps back.

Lu Zhenguo was standing at the entrance of the Internet cafe, with two low steps behind him.

As he backed away, he nearly tripped over the steps.

Lu Youbang pretended to help Lu Zhenguo up, "I don't know why I had a stroke, it was just sudden."

"My mom just called me and told me that. I didn't know your phone number, so I had to come here." Lu Youbang explained, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't deliberately ask for information. It's just that everyone in our school knows that this Internet cafe is owned by Youxi, so I came here to try my luck and see if I can meet you."

Lu Zhenguo had no time to think about how Lu Youbang knew to come here to find him.

It is totally unnecessary for Lu Youbang to add such an explanation.

But now Lu Zhenguo didn't have time to think about it, and asked hurriedly: "What else did your mother say?"

"Let me tell you in detail." Lu Youbang told him what happened in the morning when Old Mrs. Lu found that Old Mr. Lu could not move, and asked Doctor Zheng to come and see him, and then took Old Mr. Lu to the town hospital.

"We are now waiting for a bed at the city hospital." Lu Youbang said, "Originally, he should have been hospitalized in the town hospital first, so that if anything happened, such as his condition worsening, he could be discovered and treated in time. But because my family can't afford such a long hospital stay, we can only take him home and wait for a bed at the city hospital. He also needs surgery."

Lu Youbang sighed and blamed himself, "I am useless. I am not as good as Youxi in making money. As a brother, I am outdone by my sister. At the critical moment, I couldn't help at all. Now the family can't even pay for Grandpa's surgery."

After Lu Youbang finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to react and hurriedly explained, "Uncle, don't take my words to heart. I'm not here to ask you for money. I just think that my stroke is not a small matter, and I should let you know."

Lu Zhenguo couldn't listen to his chatty explanation now, he just nodded absentmindedly, "Got it."

After that, there was no reaction from him.

Lu Zhenguo nodded unconsciously, "Well, go ahead."

He also reminded her, "Go back and study hard, don't think about anything else."

Lu Zhenguo's original intention was to go back and not think too much about Mr. Lu's stroke.

He is still young and his studies are the priority. If anything goes wrong, his elders at home will be there to help.

But to Lu Youbang's ears, it sounded different.

Lu Youbang was not very happy, his face was gloomy, his lips were slightly pursed, he nodded, and said: "Then uncle, I will leave first."

Lu Zhenguo nodded and said nothing more.

Lu Youbang left with a frown, thinking that his trip today was in vain, right? Could Lu Zhenguo really let it go, no matter what happened to the two elders of the Lu family, he would not care? Lu Zhenguo returned to the Internet cafe absent-mindedly, still doing his work and cleaning up.

I just don't talk much anymore and my mind is always wandering.

At night, Lu Zhenguo thought Liu Yusu would soon prepare the lunch box, so he went home to move it.

"I'm back. It'll be ready soon. Please wait a moment." Liu Yusu was busy in the kitchen and shouted to Lu Zhenguo.

"Yeah." Lu Zhenguo was in no mood to talk, so he simply responded.

After Liu Yusu put all the food into disposable lunch boxes and put them in a foam box, she realized something was wrong.

Usually Lu Zhenguo would come to help, but not today.

After Liu Yusu finished her work, she came out of the kitchen and into the living room, where she saw Lu Zhenguo sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Zhenguo, what happened?" Liu Yusu asked.

Lu Zhenguo didn't hear what she said. Liu Yusu shouted twice more, each time louder than the last.

Lu Zhenguo finally heard it and came to his senses. Just as he was about to speak, the door of his house opened again.

"Mom." Lu Youxi rushed in.

Liu Yushu was surprised and asked, "Why did you come back today?"

Today is only Wednesday, and Lu Youxi usually comes back on Friday.

"Dad, you're here too. I was just about to go to the Internet cafe to find you." Lu Youxi said hurriedly, "Aunt Lin just called me and said that Grandpa had a stroke!"

Lu Zhenguo looked at Lu Youxi in surprise.

He didn't expect that Lu Youxi also knew it.

The main reason was that I didn’t expect Aunt Lin to even tell Lu Youxi about this.

What he didn't expect was that after Lu Youxi found out, he didn't plan to hide it from him, but instead rushed home to tell him.

Seeing that Lu Youxi's face was red from running and he was still panting, Lu Zhenguo's expression showed some relief.

"Well, Youbang came to me today and told me about it." Lu Zhenguo said, "I just didn't expect you to know it too."

"Just sit down and rest for a while, don't worry." Seeing Lu Youxi so anxious, Lu Zhenguo calmed down a little. "Your grandfather's stroke was a sudden thing. We are far away in the imperial capital. It's useless to worry. It can't be solved immediately."
