"My father passed away five years ago." Zhou Shuyan said lightly.

"Ah...this..." Liu Yusu was at a loss and didn't know what to say.

Zhou Shuyan smiled and said, "My family now lives in an old house passed down from my family. I don't have the pressure of a mortgage. I give part of my earnings to my mother as living expenses, which is enough."

Liu Yusu breathed a sigh of relief. At least Zhou Shuyan's family didn't sound that rich. They would try hard not to be looked down upon by Lu Youxi.

"I haven't had time to tell my family about what happened between Youxi and me. This is my negligence." Zhou Shuyan looked apologetic. "But it's also because I was injured this time and I didn't tell my family. My mother is the only one at home and I was afraid that she would worry. My mother would definitely ask me where I am and why I am here."

"So I thought that after returning to the capital with Yuki, I would bring Yuki to meet my mother directly. By then, when she sees that I am safe and sound, even if there was some danger at the beginning, it is over now and she will not worry too much."

Lu Youxi couldn't help but look at Zhou Shuyan.

She couldn't tell whether Zhou Shuyan was sincere or just trying to fool Liu Yusu.

Lu Youxi thought about it and felt that Zhou Shuyan must be fooling Liu Yusu.

They both agreed that it was a fake marriage.

"Ah, I didn't consider this." Liu Yusu nodded. The more she interacted with Zhou Shuyan, the more reliable he seemed to her.

He is very thoughtful, humble and polite to his elders.

He answered all questions from his elders without any impatience and with a sincere attitude.

She doesn't know many people. From birth to now, the only people she has come into contact with are her mother's village and Hexing Village, and a little further away is Hetai Town.

Anyway, among all the people she had met, no one could compare to Zhou Shuyan.

"I haven't asked you this yet." Lu Zhenguo, who had been silent, said, "How did you get injured?"

Zhou Shuyan had already thought about this and said, "He was hit by a car, but the driver has not been found yet."

Because Lu Youxue and Lu Youxi had encountered this once before, Lu Zhenguo did not doubt it.

* No longer having to worry about Lu Zhen's family's plot, Lu Youxi felt much more relaxed during the period before departure. Every day, the air he breathed felt fresher than before, and the sky was bluer than before.

Even in the hot weather, it feels cooler than before.

What made her feel better was that because Lu Zhen's family tried to trick Hu Shazi into committing a crime, Hu Shazi's parents naturally knew about this.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Hu Shazi's parents were difficult to deal with, so they couldn't cause trouble for Lu Zhen's family. So they went to Lu Zhen's house three times a day to cause trouble for the two elders of the Lu family and Ge Guifen.

The Hu couple were really good at cursing, and they even took over the baton.

When Hu Shazi's father was working, Hu Shazi's mother came over and scolded him.

After Hu Shazi's father finished his work, he came over to take over Hu Shazi's mother, while Hu Shazi's mother went back to cook.

When the meal was ready, Hu Shazi was asked to come and take the meal to Hu Shazi's father, who ate while cursing.

Moreover, Shazi Hu refused to leave after delivering the meal. He was as angry as his parents because Lu Zhen's family had cheated him, so he started to curse Shazi Hu's father together.

Now in Lu Zhen's family, there is only one man in the family: Old Man Lu.

But Mr. Lu is old, and his strength and energy are not as good as those of Hu Shazi and his son.

You can't scold him, and you can't beat him either.

Old Madam Lu opened the gate to the courtyard and rolled around in the yard, throwing a tantrum. "Everyone come and see, you are taking advantage of the fact that there are no young men in our family to bully us! Ouch!"

But no matter how much Old Lady Lu cried, the father and son Hu Shazi didn't care at all. They didn't go in to avoid being accused of a crime.

The two of them were cursing loudly at the door. When they got tired of cursing, Hu Shazi's mother came over with some water and food.

Let Hu Shazi's father drink the water and go back to work, while Hu Shazi's mother stayed here and cursed with Hu Shazi.

Old Mrs. Lu has suffered from nervous breakdown due to all the scolding from them these days.

"Go, find your uncle!" Mrs. Lu thought of Lu Zhenguo at this time and said to Lu Youzhen.

Lu Youzhen was scared and cried, "I don't dare go out. Hu Shazi looks so scary."

"Pa!" Mrs. Lu slapped Lu Youzhen in anger, "Useless thing, you can't even do this little thing!"

If it were Lu Youxi, she would roll up her sleeves and do it herself.

No, Lu Youxi was able to get into Peking University. She is smart and can definitely think of a better way.

"Idiot!" After the comparison, Mrs. Lu, who originally thought that Lu Youzhen was smart and pleasing, suddenly realized that Lu Youzhen was much worse than Lu Youxi.

"Mom, she hit me!" Lu Youzhen covered her face, pointed at Old Mrs. Lu and cried to Ge Guifen.

Of course Ge Guifen couldn't fight back, but it would be inappropriate for others to see it.

But now that Lu Zhenjia is in jail, she doesn't have to worry about Lu Zhenjia anymore. Old Mrs. Lu actually dares to be arrogant with her.

Ge Guifen glanced at Old Lady Lu sinisterly, then suddenly squatted down, grabbed the old lady's arm, and said in a gentle and vicious voice: "Do you think it's still the time when Lu Zhenjia is here? He's in jail, no one can control you, and no one can control me. You haven't figured out what the situation is now, and you still dare to be arrogant to us, you are a fool!"

Mrs. Lu was shocked. "What are you doing? Are you going to abuse the elderly?"

"You old hag, I've put up with you for so long!" Ge Guifen shook off Mrs. Lu's hand, stood up and grabbed Lu Youzhen who was still crying, "Don't cry, these two old hags will be in trouble in the future!"

When Lu Youzhen heard this, she stopped crying immediately.

She looked at Mrs. Lu viciously and sneered at her.

Ge Guifen said to Mrs. Lu, "You don't need to ask people to look for Lu Zhenguo. Our village is so small. If there is any disturbance in someone's house, everyone in the village will know about it. Moreover, our family is making such a big commotion, how could Lu Zhenguo not know about it? He just doesn't come."

Old Mrs. Lu was stunned by what Ge Guifen said.

Mr. Lu took a puff of his cigarette and said gloomily, "Ge Guifen is right. Zhenguo must know about it, but he didn't come even though he knew we were in trouble."

"This unfilial son!" Old Mrs. Lu said shrilly.

Ge Guifen sneered.

Are you saying he is unfilial now? When you lived with him, he treated you well and provided you with good food and drink. Did anyone ever come to your house to cause trouble? You didn't know how to cherish your son and disappointed him.

I've served you for so many years, but I haven't received a single good word from you. You even treated me like an outsider and didn't even give me a house.

It would be strange if they could come! Ge Guifen knew it very well, but she didn't want to tell these two old guys.
