Zhou Shuyan shook his head. "How can I be teasing you? I am just joking moderately. After all, we are both registered in the same household register."

Lu Youxi: “…”

She prides herself on her eloquence, but why does she always lose to him!!! I’m so angry!

"I just go out less often, not never." Zhou Shuyan chuckled and explained lightly, "Besides, the aunties in the village all like me very much."

Lu Youxi thought to himself, that’s right.

You are good-looking, and even though the aunts are old, it doesn’t stop them from appreciating beauty.

Especially since she usually faces those rough men at home, she finally sees Zhou Shuyan who is so handsome, so she has to look at him a few more times to refresh her eyes.

"It just so happens that the aunts gossip the most, so I didn't need to ask much. I heard a lot about Hu Shazi from the aunts." Zhou Shuyan said, "However, hearing from others is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. After learning some things from the aunts, I went to the next village to take a look myself."

Lu Youxi didn't expect that Zhou Shuyan actually did so many things in private.

"From my observation of Hu Shazi, he was spoiled a little too much by his parents because of his intelligence problem, and he is very domineering. In fact, he is just intellectually handicapped, but not completely stupid. From my observation, his IQ is probably at the level of 14 or 15 years old. But are 14 or 15 year olds stupid? No, they are actually very smart. Look at Lu Youxue, he is only 12 years old, but he already has his own cognition, values ​​and ideas, but he is not as mature as adults."

"And to be honest, adults are not necessarily mature. Some people may not be mature even when they are in their seventies or eighties." Lu Youxi didn't know who Zhou Shuyan was thinking of, but there was a lot of sarcasm in his words.

Zhou Shuyan sneered, "You're going a bit far. The point is that a 14 or 15-year-old's IQ is not stupid. It's just that his intelligence has not grown, and he is spoiled by his family and has an extremely domineering personality. He is also used to being called a fool, so people have the impression that he is a fool."

Lu Youxi nodded, "That's right. That's why Hu Shazi's parents never gave up on him, because he wasn't that stupid. He had an older sister who gave birth to him. Hu Shazi wasn't stupid at first, he just got into a fight in junior high school and had an accident, so his mind stayed at that time. His parents and the teachers at school found that no matter how hard Hu Shazi studied, he couldn't understand new knowledge, and his test scores were all in the single digits. His parents took Hu Shazi for a checkup, and only then did they find out that Hu Shazi's mind would stay at that time for the rest of his life."

"The family that caused Hu Shazi's accident paid a lot of money to the Hu family, so the Hu family's conditions in their village are actually quite good."

Zhou Shuyan nodded, "That's why I can come up with so much gift money."

This betrothal gift is nothing in the city, not even much.

But here there are quite a few.

"Yeah." Lu Youxi nodded. "After learning that Hu Shazi's mind was stuck at that time and he could no longer continue to study, his parents also thought about having another child, but they were unsuccessful. Although they received compensation, their money was limited and they didn't have the ability to do IVF. Moreover, their knowledge level was limited and they couldn't think of that level."

"Therefore, Hu Shazi's parents think that it is not a problem to rely on Hu Shazi for their old age." Lu Youxi said.

Zhou Shuyan sneered, "They ignored their daughter again."

"Yeah, it's mostly like that here." Lu Youxi said indifferently.

"You are different." Zhou Shuyan suddenly said, "I don't know your father very well, but from talking to your mother and observing her words and actions, I can see that she treats you and Lu Youxue the same, and doesn't distinguish between you and Lu Youxue."

Lu Youxi smiled, "I know, you don't need to comfort me. As long as my grandparents are not around, my family's living environment is still good. My dad is a little filial, but other than that, there is really no big difference between me and my brother. At best, because my brother is younger, I will give in to him in many things. But this is also a common problem in most families with many children. It is impossible to be completely fair."

"But most people in the village still hold the concept of raising children to provide for their old age. So even though Hu Shazi's mind will always remain at the stage of fourteen or fifteen years old, and even though their eldest daughter is smart and capable, they still think that their daughter will belong to someone else's family after she gets married, and they still have to rely on Hu Shazi for their old age. Anyway, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, they know everything they should know. They are little adults. In ancient times, they could have married and had children. So it doesn't prevent Hu Shazi from supporting them in the future."

"So, Shazi Hu's parents still treat Shazi Hu as a treasure and dote on him very much."

Zhou Shuyan nodded, "I think they've spoiled Hu Shazi so much that he has a bad temper. He gets angry and throws tantrums when things don't go his way. He even throws things and hits people."

"It seems that Hu Shazi's temper was developed since childhood. That's why he fought so fiercely in junior high school that he hurt his brain." Zhou Shuyan said.

"Do you think... Lu Zhen's family will take advantage of Hu Shazi?" Lu Youxi's mind worked quickly. In his previous life, he was in the business world. Those old foxes always had hidden meanings in their words. When listening to them speak, one must never just listen to the surface meaning.

So after listening to Zhou Shuyan talking so much about Hu Shazi, Lu Youxi immediately thought of a deeper level.

Zhou Shuyan smiled and nodded, "Because Hu Shazi's mind has always remained at the age of fourteen or fifteen, there is nothing wrong with what he says and does, but he is immature mentally. He doesn't have as many twists and turns and thoughts as adults, so he is easily impulsive and taken advantage of. From my observation, some fifteen or sixteen-year-old children in their village are quite good at taking advantage of Hu Shazi. Sometimes Hu Shazi can tell, but most of the time he is taken advantage of."

"I just don't know what the Lu Zhen family will use Hu Shazi for." Lu Youxi no longer wanted to call Lu Zhenjia uncle, as that man was not worthy of it.

However, for some reason, Lu Youxi did not doubt Zhou Shuyan's judgment.

"What I mean is, instead of being on guard passively because we don't know what Lu Zhenjia wants to do, it's better to take the initiative to lure him into the game." Zhou Shuyan said, "After all, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, and it's too tiring."
