Qiao Wanyue didn't think anything of it, after all, the Qiao family was quite eccentric.
If he tolerates it, Qiao Wanyue will reconsider their relationship. After all, they will be living together in the future, and his overly gentle way of handling things will make her feel wronged.
Grandma Yang was just a minor incident.
The whole surrounding area knew about the Yang family's scandalous affair—the biased old woman, the outrageous family members—it had long been known throughout the surrounding villages, and no one dared to mock Lu Yunzhou.
Most people felt sorry for him, having met such a relative.
Some people made sarcastic remarks, accusing Lu Yunzhou of making a mountain out of a molehill. They said that the past is the past, so why couldn't he give the elderly a meal? They pointed out that the elderly had already suffered so much, and that someone with such a heartless nature would certainly not serve the people well as a soldier.
By the time these words reached Lu Yunzhou's ears, the banquet was nearing its end.
Lu Xingxing was furious and immediately wanted to find someone to argue with.
Lu Yunzhou stopped her and said calmly, "Let's pack up first."
The guests left behind a mess that needed to be cleaned up. Although the neighbors helped, the Lu family couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Lu Rong and his sister-in-law busied themselves cleaning up.
After seeing off the last group of guests, Lu Yunzhou rolled up his sleeves and got busy.
The tables and bowls were rented from a state-run restaurant and needed to be returned. After washing and cleaning them, Qiao Wanyue picked up the table to rinse it with water because the residual oil stains on the table were too dirty to rub by hand.
Lu Yunzhou turned around and saw a petite figure carrying a huge object all by herself.
He raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I'll handle that."
Lu Yunzhou put down what he was holding, walked quickly to Qiao Wanyue's side, and took the table from her hands.
“My older brother and I will handle these heavy objects.”
Qiao Wanyue nodded.
I let go of his hand and did some work that I could manage.
Lu Yunzhou and Lu Yunqi were not hands-off managers; the two were quick and efficient. In addition, Lu Heng saw that his two cousins were tidying up, so he rolled up his sleeves and joined in. They finished tidying up in no time.
"Second brother, they're ruining your reputation in the village." Lu Xingxing was still furious when she remembered those words.
Lu Yunzhou wiped his hands with a towel.
There are always gossips in the village. The conflict between the Yang and Lu families has long been an open secret. The Lu family doesn't care what others say, but there are always those who are blind to their own opinions and criticize them to their faces, saying in a sarcastic tone that they don't respect the elderly.
“It’s alright. They like to respect the elderly. I’ll take the elderly to their home tonight.” Lu Yunzhou’s tone was calm, but his words made Lu Xingxing’s eyes light up.
Lu Rong raised an eyebrow slightly.
She worried that if things escalated, it would affect Yunzhou and Wanyue's future.
Let people say what they want.
Lu Rong's thinking was simple: people can say whatever they want, it won't hurt them. Now that the family is thriving, he should avoid making enemies.
She was about to speak up to stop him when Lu Yunqi stopped her, "Mom, Lu Hui's clothes are wet, take him to change."
Lu Hui, who was squatting down washing dishes, looked down at his dry clothes.
Confused, he turned to look at his father, but his father didn't even glance at him.
Lu Hui scratched his head, "Grandma, can you help me find some clothes?"
Although I didn't know what my father meant, he said his clothes were wet, so they were wet.
Lu Hui put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his hands clean, walked over and led Lu Rong into his room. Ever since his father said he was a big kid last year, he had started sleeping alone.
Lu Xingxing scoffed lightly.
"Old stubborn man." She rolled her eyes at Lu Rong's retreating figure.
Lu Yunzhou rubbed his sister's head. "It's alright, I'll shut them up. You take Panpan back home, take some of the meat from the house, and share some of the candy with your friends and colleagues."
Lu Xingxing nodded.
Sister-in-law Lu packed up some leftover meat for her, and also packed a large bag full of melon seeds and candies for her to take back.
"Ah Heng, call a car and have all these tables and chairs sent away."
Lu Heng nodded and walked out.
Only family members remained in the courtyard.
Looking at the energetic Lu Yunzhou, Lu Mantang's eyes reddened again.
