Seeing that there were outsiders coming, Gu Ranzhou felt it was not appropriate to continue lying in the rocking chair, so he slowly sat up from the rocking chair.
Lu Zhenchuan nodded: "Yeah! I heard from Lin Feng that you have something to talk to me about?"
Du Kang was a little shy. After all, he knew a little about what happened. The man had saved him, and he also heard that his mother had made a big fuss when she saved him. It was also a good thing that Uncle Gu had a good temper. If he had a little temper, he might have died in the hospital bed. However, he didn't know where Gu Ranzhou lived and he was not familiar with Lu Zhenchuan. After all, they were not of the same generation and did not usually hang out together. Unlike his cousin, they were not childhood friends. This time he came specifically to bring his cousin along. When he heard Lu Zhenchuan's question, he said a little embarrassedly, "The last time I was sick, my parents kept saying they would treat you to dinner, but unfortunately no one could find the time. This time I came specifically to thank Uncle Gu for saving me."
Gu Ranzhou didn't say anything. Instead, Lu Zhenchuan nodded and said, "Alright, you've seen the person. It's time for you to leave the things behind."
Du Kang was stunned when he heard Lu Zhenchuan's words. Lin Feng and Xu Jialiang were his childhood friends and naturally knew that this guy would never buy into something easily. Moreover, although his aunt's attitude showed that she was worried about his cousin, she was there to rescue his cousin after all and had nothing to do with their family. It was wrong to make such a fuss.
Seeing this, Lin Feng had no choice but to come out to smooth things over and change the subject. He looked around the yard and then asked, "By the way, where's Zhenchuan? Why don't I see An'an? And where's Haoyu, who's always with him?"
The two cousins felt relieved when they saw Lin Feng come out to help smooth things over.
Lu Zhenchuan continued to unpack and sort the things on the stone table and replied, "They were both sent to my second brother's place. My second sister-in-law missed Haoyu so she let An'an live there too. Why do you have any business with them?"
Gu Ranzhou sat quietly in a rocking chair beside them, listening to them silently without saying a word.
Lin Feng also knew that there had been quite a commotion on New Year's Day. The Lu family, especially his brother Lu Zhenchuan, had been ruthlessly purging many of the troublemakers over the past few days. He smiled and said, "No, why would I be looking for those two kids? I didn't see them playing in the yard. I was just casually expressing my concern!"
He turned around and said, "I heard that you have successfully completed another major task and made a great contribution?"
Lu Zhenchuan paused for a moment because of Lin Feng's words, but he quickly returned to his work and asked calmly, "How did you know?"
Lin Feng walked over, pulled out a chair, sat down, crossed his legs, and said with a smile, "It's been spreading around the compound lately."
Lu Zhenchuan was still busy with his work, and finally said impatiently: "Alright, stop talking nonsense! I've already given you the gift, so if you have nothing else to do, just get out of here!"
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "No, Ah Chuan and the brothers are planning to get together tonight, so why not bring Brother Gu along?"
Lu Zhenchuan didn't agree immediately but looked at Gu Ranzhou. Gu Ranzhou saw Lu Zhenchuan looking at him, rubbed his temples with his hands, nodded and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. No one is stopping you."
Lu Zhenchuan said cautiously: "Zhou Zhou, come with me. If you don't want to go, I won't go either." He knew that the place where the brothers gathered was the Blue Whale Club, and there would be other people besides his brothers.
Xu Jialiang's eyes widened at the cautious look on his face. He wondered when his brother had become like this. Was he still the bully he once was in the compound? Even his father wouldn't listen to Lu Zhenchuan when he got mad. How could he become such a coward?
Lin Feng was not surprised to hear his brother say that. Instead of asking Lu Zhenchuan, he looked at Gu Ranzhou and called out, "Brother Gu."
Then he glanced at Lu Zhenchuan. He had known for a long time that Lu Zhenchuan was a henpecked man. He had seen it in the village. Fortunately, Brother Gu gave him enough face outside, otherwise, who knows what would be spread outside.
Gu Ranzhou glanced at the other person, nodded and agreed: "Go."
Seeing that Gu Ranzhou and the others had agreed, Lin Feng stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, Brother Gu, we won't bother you anymore. Remember to come tonight. Ah Chuan knows where it is."
"Um!"
Seeing this, Xu Jialiang and Du Kang didn't want to stay any longer and stood up, saying goodbye: "(Uncle Gu) Brother Gu, we'll be leaving first."
Gu Ranzhou nodded and then lay back in the rocking chair. Lin Feng and the others had already walked out the door.
………
Xu Jialiang still hadn't reacted yet. Lu Zhenchuan was really out of sorts today. Confused, he turned to Lin Feng, who was walking in front, and asked, "This...Ah Feng, what's going on with Brother Chuan?"
Du Kang, who was walking at the back, felt that today was not realistic.
Lin Feng just found it funny: "Ha, that henpecked guy is so domineering outside, but when he comes home he is still obedient."
Xu Jialiang asked doubtfully, "Hey, I've never seen Brother Chuan like this before."
When Lin Feng heard what Xu Jialiang said, he couldn't help but think of the first time he met Gu Ranzhou. When he brought Lu Haoyu to the village to find Lu Zhenchuan, he never expected that guy was so arrogant as if others owed him tens of thousands of dollars, but he had been in that village for less than half a year and had already married into the family and became someone's stepfather. Not only that, but there was also Gu Ranzhou. He had never seen a person born in the countryside with such a strong aura. Gu Ranzhou had nothing, but he made him feel that way.
Logically speaking, who would want to support a few freeloaders for no reason? Yet, Gu Ranzhou did just that, and he hadn't objected. You'd say he's indecisive, right? And yet, Lu Zhenchuan just obeyed him obediently. He's a capable man. From the time I'd known him until now, I'd never seen any signs of a falling out between the two of them, and even three years had passed since then. It looked like there was no rift between them at all; instead, they seemed to be growing closer over time.
Lin Feng thought of these two people again and wondered when he could be like this. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Oh, I'm so envious!"
"You know what? I hadn't seen anything like that before I met Brother Gu. You and I both know that when Lu Zhenchuan gets angry, he's a jerk. With that arrogant look on his face, who wouldn't want to beat him up? If it weren't for his father and his own strong fighting skills, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death countless times by now."
"Well."
After Lin Feng got them into the car, he thought for a moment and said to his brother, "Liangzi, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you meet other brothers in the future, remember to tell them that even if you mess with Lu Zhenchuan, he'll just beat you up for the sake of the other old men. But if you mess with Brother Gu and his son, I'll definitely go to your grave and burn incense for you next year."
