Father Lu: "..."
Brother-in-law?
What a coincidence!
Hearing his wife's excited voice, Mr. Lu thought for a moment and said, "Qintong, I was just about to tell you about this. Yinian just came back and told me about Lu Jingnian..."
Soon, Mr. Lu briefly recounted to his wife what Lu Yinian had just told him.
However, he concealed from Lu Yinian the fact that Lu Jingnian was getting married to repay a debt of gratitude, and he didn't say anything bad about Jiang Yue. Lu's father didn't believe his adopted son, so it's better to see things for yourself.
"If what Qintong said is true, then this Lu Jingnian..."
He was interrupted by Madam Lu before he could finish speaking.
“If what he said is true, and Lu Jingnian really looks exactly like you, then he is very likely our son, right?”
Mrs. Lu's voice was somewhat agitated, "Old Lu, I knew my son was definitely not dead, definitely not."
"Qintong, don't get agitated, listen to me..."
Mr. Lu said softly to his wife, "I will also go to City A tomorrow, but I can't come to see you. I told Yi Nian that you went out with your classmates."
Tomorrow, Yi Nian will take me to the station. Be careful, don't let him see you at the station, okay?
"good."
Mrs. Lu agreed without hesitation, "I didn't want him to know that I went to City A in the first place."
Although Mr. Lu had just told her that Lu Yinian had been secretly looking for his older brother, Mrs. Lu still didn't quite believe her adopted son.
After thinking for a moment, Madam Lu said to Mr. Lu, "Old Lu, let me make this clear from the start: if we really find our son this time, you must let Lu Yinian move out of the house."
I only have one son, and I can't let him come back to find his place taken by someone else.
Lao Lu, our son has been away from us for over twenty years, which is already very unfair to him. I can't let him feel like his identity has been replaced when he comes home.
I cannot hurt my son's feelings for the sake of someone else's son.
Ever since her husband arranged for the Ma family to move to Kyoto and gave them a courtyard house, Madam Lu had been thinking about having Lu Yinian move in with his family.
That courtyard house was quite large; their whole family had plenty of room to live there.
But for some reason, her husband kept delaying Lu Yinian's return.
This had displeased Madam Lu for a long time.
"Okay, once we find our son, I'll make sure he moves out." This time, Mr. Lu agreed very readily.
You'd better keep your word.
After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she warned Mr. Lu a few more times before hanging up the phone.
As he listened to the busy tone on the phone, Mr. Lu sighed helplessly. He knew that his wife had always been unhappy that he hadn't sent Lu Yinian back home.
But there are some things that are not the right time to tell her yet. He has never believed that his son's accident was a coincidence, so he has been investigating.
When his son got into trouble, the people who benefited the most were the Ma family and Lu Yinian. They kept him under their noses and supported him not out of gratitude.
First, Mr. Lu did this to appease them.
Lu's father was afraid that if he let Lu Yinian go back, the Ma family would realize something and hide it.
If he finds evidence, where will he go to punish the murderer who killed his son?
Second, Lu's father asked them to come to Kyoto because he wanted to know whether his son was still alive or had really passed away.
If his son were still alive, the Ma family would surely know where he was. If they sent them to Kyoto and secretly had someone follow them, perhaps the Ma family would leave some clues that would allow him to find his son.
If his son really is long gone, and he truly loses all hope, that will be the end for the Ma family.
However, Mr. Lu dared not tell his wife these things. His wife could not handle any stress. If she found out about these things, given her temperament, she would definitely break down and confront the Ma family.
Without evidence, we'll only alert the enemy.
...
Mrs. Lu hung up the phone and was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, she got up before dawn.
The train departs from Kyoto at 7:00 AM and takes 5 hours to reach City A, arriving at noon.
When Jing Nian comes to pick her up, how should she greet him?
Mrs. Lu paced back and forth excitedly in the courtyard.
Jiang Zheng, who was out packing his things, was startled to see Madam Lu in the courtyard so early.
"Auntie, you're up so early?"
It's only a little past four in the morning.
He had to get up so early to collect medicinal herbs for Old Man Liu.
What is Madam Lu doing up so early?
Jiang Zheng felt that Madam Lu was a bit strange ever since he met her yesterday.
"I'm getting old and I don't sleep well. I can't fall asleep after a while, so I thought I'd come out for some fresh air."
Mrs. Lu answered with a smile.
The more she looked at Jiang Zheng, the more familiar he seemed. He was very likely her son's brother-in-law, and his father had even sponsored her son's education, so he was very likely their family's benefactor.
"You're going to Old Liu's place to collect medicinal herbs, right? I'll go with you."
Seeing that Jiang Zheng was holding a small hoe, Madam Lu turned around and went to the warehouse to get the same one. She then walked with Jiang Zheng towards the herb garden.
Old Liu has a large area here, and he built a medicinal herb garden in the back, where he grows many kinds of medicinal herbs, some of which need to be harvested before dawn.
The old man said that this way the medicine wouldn't be affected. Madam Lu had done this before when she was treated by Old Liu.
Therefore, I am very familiar with it.
While digging for medicinal herbs, Madam Lu asked Jiang Zheng, "Jiang, today Battalion Commander Lu went to pick us up at the station. Will his wife, your sister, also be going?"
If the other party really is her son, then Xiao Jiang's sister is her daughter-in-law.
Jiang is so handsome, his sister must be beautiful too.
She likes pretty girls the most.
Jiang Zheng thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I didn't tell her to come when I called, so I don't know if she'll come?"
In fact, Jiang Zheng was really unsure whether Lu Jingnian would betray him and tell Yueyue about his injury.
Mrs. Lu felt a little regretful upon hearing this answer.
If only their daughter-in-law could go, they could be reunited as a family.
After thinking for a moment, Madam Lu said, "You're so handsome, your sister must be very beautiful too."
Jiang Zheng smiled when he talked about his younger sister.
"Auntie, it's not that I'm not being modest, but you're absolutely right. You met my wife yesterday, didn't you? My wife is beautiful, isn't she? My sister is just as beautiful as my wife."
"Hahaha……"
Madam Lu was amused by Jiang Zheng's words. The girl named Duan Suyao was very beautiful, and she was amazed when she saw her yesterday.
"You silly child, when you're praising your sister, you don't forget to praise your wife too."
This kid is so funny.
If the Jiang family can raise such a son, their daughters must be just as good.
