Back home, Xiaoshan's father locked himself in his room, looking depressed.
The reason was that it was too embarrassing to poop in his pants. Although he had already accepted Lu Yuan as his son-in-law, he was still seen doing so, which made him lose face.
However, the room was unbearably hot. The wiring had been chewed through by rats, and the power company hadn't come to repair it yet, so the room was filled with a wave of heat, making it impossible to stay inside.
Looking at Xiao Shan, who was covered in sweat, Lu Yuan said with some concern, "Xiao Shan, try to persuade your aunt and uncle to come stay with me for a while! Otherwise, who knows when the electricity will be back on here!"
However, Xiaoshan pointed to the tightly closed door and said helplessly, "My dad probably won't come out, and he probably won't come out for a while! It's okay, the solar panels at home can still generate some electricity, and the air conditioner should be able to be turned on soon when the battery is fully charged."
Lu Yuan was about to say something when he saw Xiao Shan's mother walk over with a smile and say, "Lu Yuan, thank you so much this time! If it weren't for you, Xiao Shan's father might have..."
As she was about to cry again, Lu Yuan quickly patted her shoulder and then pulled Xiao Shan aside, saying, "Auntie, you're being too polite. Uncle was bitten by a rat, so I'm definitely responsible. Besides, Xiao Shan and I are just one step away from getting married. I already consider you and Uncle as my family."
Xiao Shan's mother nodded after hearing this, and seemed about to cry, but Xiao Shan stopped her.
"Mom! Dad's alright, so please stop crying!"
Seeing that Xiaoshan's family was alright, Lu Yuan felt relieved. In order to fully charge the battery and turn on the air conditioner, Lu Yuan prepared to go upstairs to check on the situation.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. He listened carefully and realized that two people were talking.
"Wei Jianjun! If you dare to take the money out of your hands, I'll divorce you!"
“I said Liu Sujuan, that’s my brother! How can I not save him! Besides, my brother helped us a lot when our family was in trouble before, we can’t be ungrateful!”
"You're so stingy! How much money do you have? Your son is waiting at home to buy a chicken! If you give him this money, what will he eat? If you dare to give them money, I'll take my son home! I mean what I say!"
After the woman finished speaking, she was about to leave when the man sighed and immediately stopped her, his tone softening instantly.
"Alright, Sujuan, that's enough! Just look at this one, is that okay? Sigh! I'm just worried about my brother!"
"Hmph! Everyone knows his daughter married a rich man, and his family even bought a villa! With him around, do you still need to spend money? When you see your brother later, ask him to see if he can lend you some money. Our family can't even afford to eat anymore."
Just as Lu Yuan was about to climb onto the roof to check if the solar panels were damaged, he suddenly lost his footing and almost fell because the ladder was a little loose. However, the noise he made attracted the attention of the two people outside the door.
The two of them also noticed Lu Yuan, and during their eye contact, they were somewhat surprised.
"Um...you...you are..."
"Ahem! That's me!"
A hint of embarrassment immediately appeared on their faces.
Hearing the commotion inside, Xiaoshan and her daughter thought Lu Yuan had fallen and rushed out, only to find Lu Yuan standing steadily on the ladder talking to someone outside the door.
"Lu Yuan, who are you talking to? It's too dangerous up there, come down quickly!" Xiao Shan's mother was worried about Lu Yuan and immediately held the ladder to help him down.
"Ahem, Auntie, it seems like Xiaoshan's uncle and aunt have arrived." Lu Yuan climbed down the ladder, somewhat annoyed.
The two men had just been talking about him, saying he was a rich man and even trying to get some money out of him, which made Lu Yuan a little uncomfortable. But since they were Xiao Shan's uncle, and he didn't know the specifics, he wasn't angry.
If they are truly in dire straits, it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand if possible. However, if the other party is only trying to get money out of him because he is Xiaoshan's future husband, Lu Yuan will absolutely not agree to it.
Xiao Shan's mother was a little surprised, then looked at Xiao Shan and asked in a low voice, "Did you call your uncle?"
Xiao Shan gave an unnatural smile: "I was worried that something might happen to my dad! I was desperate and called him because I heard that my uncle knew someone at the hospital. I didn't expect him to come now. It's too late!"
Xiao Shan's mother pointed at Xiao Shan for a long time without saying anything, then sighed and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
So Xiaoshan's mother went to open the door. Lu Yuan was a little confused, so he whispered in Xiaoshan's ear, "What's going on? You should be happy that your uncle is here! Why doesn't your aunt seem very welcoming to them?"
"Sigh, don't even mention it. The couple came to my house to borrow money a while ago, saying they heard I found a boyfriend and that his family is quite wealthy, living in a villa. My dad disagreed at the time and made up an excuse to refuse. But they came several times afterward, saying they wanted to see you. I never expected they'd end up getting themselves into trouble this time."
After saying that, Xiaoshan stuck her tongue out towards the door.
The door opened, and the two people who had been standing outside came in carrying some nutritional supplements and greeted Xiaoshan's mother.
"Sister-in-law, how is my brother? Didn't you say he went to the hospital? Why did he suddenly come back?" A very stylishly dressed woman asked, pulling on Xiaoshan's mother's arm.
Xiaoshan's mother, looking displeased, silently removed her arm and said, "It's alright, it's nothing serious, you'll be fine after taking some medicine."
"Really? I heard that getting bitten by a rat usually requires a long hospital stay to recover! What kind of medicine is it?"
"Um... it's just some anti-inflammatory medicine. Your brother probably wasn't bitten by a mutated rat."
He then led the two into the house.
Xiao Shan looked at the two of them and nodded obediently, saying, "Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunt."
The woman walked over with a smile, touched Xiaoshan's face, and said, "Oh my, look at your face, the skin is so smooth and elastic. You must have eaten a lot of good food to have such a good complexion! Congratulations, Xiaoshan, on finding such a good boyfriend."
Lu Yuan looked at the two of them with a somewhat awkward smile.
Xiao Shan's mother pulled Lu Yuan aside and pointed to the two of them, saying, "Lu Yuan, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Shan's uncle, and this is Xiao Shan's aunt."
Lu Yuan nodded to the two of them and said, "Hello, Uncle! Hello, Aunt!"
The man glanced at Lu Yuan and said, "Hmm, not bad, young man, you look very energetic!" Then he reached out and shook hands with Lu Yuan, and immediately noticed that Lu Yuan's hands were particularly clean, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Lu Yuan, you'd better treat our Xiao Shan better from now on!"
The woman, holding Xiaoshan's arm, spoke to Lu Yuan.
