When Qin Wan lay down, it was as if she fell into a soft dream abyss. She was completely immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
This time, she slept very deeply, as if she was isolated from the world.
When she finally woke up from that long dream, she opened her eyes and found that it was dusk outside the window. The night was gradually covering the earth and it was already very late.
Qin Wan slowly sat up, rubbed her eyes, then lowered her head slightly. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, just like the first blooming peach blossoms in spring, revealing a bit of shyness.
If someone who knew her true nature stood here, they would definitely sigh with emotion: "She looks like a steamed bun, everyone who sees her wants to take a bite, but why are her bones so hard?"
Qin Wan seemed a little embarrassed that she had slept for so long. She asked her aunt softly:
"Um...Auntie, is there anything you need my help with this afternoon?" The voice was as gentle as a breeze, gently brushing past Auntie's ears.
When Aunt Yu heard Qin Wan's question, she stopped what she was busy doing, looked up at her, and replied with a kind smile on her face:
"There wasn't anything particularly important for you to do this afternoon, but while you were still asleep, your mother-in-law called. She said she hoped you and Lu Yu could bring the children to her house for dinner tomorrow."
After saying that, Aunt Yu continued to work on the task at hand, leaving Qin Wan sitting there, secretly thinking about going to her mother-in-law's house for dinner tomorrow.
Qin Wan nodded slightly and softly replied, "I understand." However, her heart was in turmoil, and she wondered to herself, "What on earth is this Lu family up to? Ever since they briefly showed up on the day I gave birth, it's like they've vanished from the face of the earth, with no further contact. I even thought for a moment that they'd completely forgotten about us!"
At this moment, Lu Yu walked into the house with vigorous steps.
Seeing this, Qin Wan hurried forward and couldn't wait to tell him what had just happened:
"In the afternoon, your mother called and asked us to go to your house tomorrow."
Hearing this, Lu Yu's face instantly darkened. He snorted coldly and replied without hesitation:
"Hmph, no!"
The tone was firm and decisive, as if there was no room for negotiation.
Qin Wan couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked:
"Why?"
In fact, deep down, she was also reluctant to go to the Lu family. It was just out of curiosity and respect for her husband's thoughts that she felt it necessary to ask the reason.
After all, no matter what, they are the relatives of the man she loves. Who can be sure whether the "I won't go" he said at this moment is from the heart or just a momentary anger?
Facing his wife's questioning, Lu Yu frowned, his face full of disgust, and said indignantly:
"Hmph, I'm not trying to be mean. In my opinion, if we really go to his house tomorrow, there's no guarantee that we'll be caught in some unexpected trouble!"
Clearly, Lu Yu didn't have much affection for the Lu family. Rather than fearing the difficulties he'd encounter if he went to the Lu family, it was more that he was worried his beloved wife would be wronged and hurt.
Qin Wan looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled look on his face and asked impatiently:
"What happened? Tell me quickly!"
Her eyes were full of concern and curiosity.
Lu Yu took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Every year on New Year's Day, our Lu family would go to the Mei family for a reunion. In name, it was a big reunion, but in reality, we wanted everyone to understand that my father, Lu Dongsheng, was just their son-in-law."
Lu Yu said this, his voice filled with helplessness and bitterness.
"And on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it becomes a day for our Lu family to reunite. It can be considered a family dinner. However, before I went to the army, I had never truly attended such a family dinner."
Lu Yu frowned slightly, as if recalling those unpleasant past events.
Qin Wan's heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came to her mind. She asked softly:
"Why on earth is this happening?"
Lu Yu smiled bitterly and continued to recount the unbearable experience:
"Every time we have a reunion dinner, there are always some unexpected situations. Either my brother accidentally trips and falls to the ground, or my sister accidentally drops a bowl and breaks it. But the strange thing is that no matter what the truth is, I am always the one who is identified as the culprit in the end."
Having said that, his eyes became somewhat dim.
"Then what?"
Qin Wan asked nervously. She could already imagine the grievances and injustices that the young Lu Yu had endured at that time.
"Then my mother would mercilessly punish me by making me stand outside the door and not allowing me to set foot inside the house again."
Lu Yu's tone was still calm, but the pain contained in it made people feel the same.
Qin Wan looked at Lu Yu, her eyes full of pity. Her heart felt like it was being plucked by an invisible hand, and she was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.
She couldn't help but stretch out her fair and tender little hands and gently hold Lu Yu's slightly rough and calloused hands.
She seemed to be able to see the difficult times Lu Yu had experienced through these weather-beaten hands.
She really couldn't imagine how much suffering and torture Lu Yu had endured during those days.
