Chapter 2409 The End
After speaking about the second son's family, the old lady looked at Lu Sanzhu, and then silently looked away.
Lu Sanzhu, "..."
He couldn't help but stand up, holding his wine glass. "Mother, what about us? Should we just leave it at that?"
The old lady really didn't want to say it, "You've always been very clever. Among your siblings, you're the one who's most good at shirking and being lazy. I've never worried about you or expected anything from you. But now that you have a proper job and have bought a house, that's not bad. As for Da Bao, he's studying and understanding things now, and Bao Ya is well-behaved. You're more fortunate than your two brothers and sister."
Lu Sanzhu was smug, but neither he nor Liang Shi felt that the old lady was insulting them.
Saying they are lucky is just praising them, isn't it?
So, Lu Sanzhu, holding Liang Shi and the two children's hands, said very seriously, "Mother, don't worry, we will be even more blessed in the future. This cup of wine, bottoms up."
Then he drank it all in one gulp.
old lady,"……"
The people who had been feeling quite sad because of the old lady's words now wanted to laugh.
The old lady rubbed her forehead and finally looked at Lu Sixing, "Over the years, I've been focused on your brothers and haven't paid much attention to you, which has caused you to suffer."
"No, Mother, you've been very good to me." Lu Sixing wasn't wrong. The old lady had limited energy, and given her second brother's family's situation, what else could she do?
Just look at the other families in the village, and you'll see. When a daughter gets married, her maternal family is already being generous by not squeezing anything out of her to support her brothers. But the old lady knows that she's having a hard time in the Yuan family, so even though her maternal family can't help her, they try their best to prevent her from taking anything from her in-laws to support her, so that she won't feel inferior in front of her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law, and won't have any confidence when she's being bullied.
The old lady smiled and said, "Fortunately, your husband is good to you and still works in the government office. Xiao Zhen and Quan Quan are well-behaved and sensible, and you are diligent and capable. Your future will be bright."
After she finished speaking, she drank another glass of wine.
Finally, looking at Grandma Fang beside her, she said, "Caixia, we sisters are reunited. I am truly... content."
She looked up at everyone, tears welling in her eyes. "I'm sorry, everyone. Today is a big reunion, and looking at you all reminds me of the old days. I've talked a bit too much. Alright, I won't say anymore. On New Year's Eve, I hope everyone will be safe and sound, have happy reunions, and have increasingly prosperous lives."
The old lady raised her glass, "Cheers!!"
Everyone stood up, even the children, holding their freshly squeezed orange juice, jumped up and down with joy, shouting, "Cheers!"
The Lu family home was even more lively than usual on Lunar New Year's Eve.
Whether it was the old lady's words or not, the Lu family's siblings gathered together and began to reminisce about the past. They talked, ate, and drank, and they all became somewhat drunk.
After eating and drinking their fill, the children ran wildly in the yard. It was a rare sight to have so many children gathered together, and despite the cold weather, they were all sweating profusely from running.
As dusk settled, Shu Yu sat on the veranda, sipping warm crucian carp soup while leaning against Meng Yunzheng. A vacuum seemed to exist between them; no one dared to disturb them.
The children knew she was pregnant and dared not run near her to play.
Meng Yunzheng exhaled a puff of white breath, put his arm around her, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"
"I wasn't thinking about anything, I just felt... very peaceful, and I really like this kind of life."
She thought that little Shuyu, who was in another world, would also be living a happy life under the loving care of her parents.
With a "whoosh," fireworks were lit not far away and exploded in the air, eliciting even more excited shouts from the children...
The main story ends here. There will be a little side story where the identity is revealed later, so those who are interested can take a look.
Love you all.
