That night, Aunt Qu returned empty-handed and left in a huff. Little did she know that just one night later, Aunt Qu and her husband, along with their beloved son, would come back to rob her.
The family of three wore ingratiating smiles. Aunt Qu began, "Wenjing, your uncle and aunt want to discuss something with you. Didn't you say yesterday that Wen's younger sister bought a house for your in-laws...?"
"It wasn't bought for my in-laws, just for them to move in," Qu Wenjing corrected.
"It's all the same. Do you think it's possible for you to move in there too, and make room for your cousin Wenbing's wedding in the Wen family's house?"
Qu Wenjing was dumbfounded. How could she say that?
In the end, Aunt Qu's family was kicked out of the house by Qu's parents.
The Wen family was unaware of the chaos that was brewing in their future in-laws' home. Early this morning, they happily accompanied their daughter and son-in-law to the courtyard and went with the Zhong brothers to the housing management office to complete the transfer procedures.
Lu Yuan was in high spirits, not because of buying a house, but because after sending his wife, children and father-in-law's family back last night, he went out again in the dark and found Dong Ziyuan to go to the hospital with him to do something that made everyone feel great.
Wen Moyu was hospitalized, so Yu Xuejian had to stay up all night at the hospital.
The three of them divided the work. Lu Yuan retrieved a white coat, a stethoscope, a mask, a hat, a pen, and other items from his spatial storage and gave them all to Lu Yuanchao.
And you know what? Clothes make the man. Lu Yuanchao put on a white coat, a stethoscope around his neck, two pens in his shirt pocket, and then put on a mask and hat. Hey, he exuded a sense of sophistication.
"Dr. Lu, once you go in, go straight to room 303 on the third floor, find the person surnamed Yu, and take him to this back alley of the hospital."
Lu Yuanchao left excitedly, while Lu Yuan and Xu Dong waited in the back alley. About ten minutes later, footsteps were heard. The two exchanged a glance and took their positions.
"Doctor, who is looking for me? And why would they meet here?"
Looking at the dimly lit back alley, Yu Xuejian realized something was wrong. He had heard the man say he was a doctor from the hospital, and judging from his attire, he had followed him out without any suspicion when the man said someone was looking for him.
Seeing that he was standing motionless at the alley entrance, Lu Yuanchao kicked him in the buttocks from behind.
"Ah, mmm mmm—"
Yu Xuejian lunged forward, but before he hit the ground, someone grabbed him from behind and choked him, shoving something into his open mouth. The stench was so overwhelming it made his eyes roll back. Before he could even figure out what it was, a large sack was shoved over his head, and then…
Then came the long, agonizing ordeal of living a life worse than death.
Although it was described as a long time, it was only a few minutes. However, in Yu Xuejian's eyes, that minute felt like a lifetime, and he felt as if he had endured all the suffering of his entire life.
The three men ran away after beating the person. Yu Xuejian felt like he was about to die, so he just lay there whimpering.
His hands felt like they were broken; even trying to lift them to remove the sack from his head was excruciatingly painful. He couldn't get up either; his whole body ached.
He resigned himself to his fate, stopped struggling, and decided to die like this.
If he dies, will he be able to start over? When he does, he will definitely not be deceived by that bitch Wen Moyu, and he will never let go of Xiaoxue.
Lost in thought, he eventually fell asleep. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning when sanitation workers came to clean the alley that they found him, woke him up, and took him to the hospital.
After Lu Yuan happily completed the property transfer, he took his wife, children, and father-in-law home.
They only gave 1,800 yuan when they transferred the property, and the rest of the supplies haven't been given yet. They said they would give the rest of the supplies after the Zhong brothers vacated the house.
The two brothers weren't worried that Lu Yuan would renege on his debt, because they had both heard of Wen Shengtao and knew that they worked at the machine tool factory, so they were quite at ease.
The Zhong brothers acted very quickly, going to their workplaces to request apartments that very day. They didn't know how they managed it, but they each got their apartments so soon.
When the woman came to hand over the house to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan was surprised for a moment.
"Okay, I've prepared everything. You guys go back first, and I'll deliver it to you later."
Lu Yuan found a secluded spot, loaded 200 jin of rice and a three-wheeled vehicle into the car, and headed straight to the courtyard. He was almost there with the Zhong brothers.
"Wow, Comrade Lu, you're so fast?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I drove here, so it was naturally quick."
Seeing that they had already packed up all their belongings and piled them in the yard, and there was a cart outside the door, it was obvious that they were planning to haul things away by the cart, load after load.
There was quite a lot of stuff, and it would take forever to get it all by handcart. He suggested, "I'll drive you there; that way we can get everything over there in one trip."
The Zhong brothers were delighted, saying, "We're so sorry."
"No problem, it's very convenient. You guys go check the things in the car first, and if there are no problems, we'll move the luggage into the car."
The Zhong family was extremely grateful and thanked them repeatedly. After the two brothers got into the car and saw the goods, they were overjoyed. The rice was top-quality, with each grain plump and translucent. It was the first time they had ever seen such good rice.
The watch was put in his pocket, the radio was held in the old lady's arms, and the others happily began to load their things into the car.
With Lu Yuan's help, they were transported there in one car, along with their belongings.
When they arrived, Lu Yuan learned that the two brothers and their wives were all workers at the cotton mill. The eldest brother was a director, and the second brother was a minor leader in the factory's union. Lu Yuan understood why the housing allocation had been so fast; it turned out that the second brother was in charge of this area.
"Comrade Lu, thank you so much for today. My home is a mess and I can't entertain you. Let's go to the state-run restaurant and treat you to a meal before you leave."
Lu Yuan declined, saying, "There's no rush to have dinner. We can talk about it when we have time later. You're all busy today, so I won't bother you any longer. I didn't even tell my father-in-law and his family when I left. If I hadn't gone back, they would have been waiting for me to have dinner."
"Alright, let's tidy up the house first, and then we'll invite Comrade Lu over for a visit later."
Lu Yuan smiled and waved goodbye, then jumped into his car and drove away, taking it as just a polite remark. He had only said that he would talk about it later when he had time, but he never expected that the other person would take it seriously.
Of course, that's two days from now; let's talk about the present.
As soon as Lu Yuan drove to the family building, a woman excitedly slapped her thigh at him.
"Oh dear, Xiaoxue's family, hurry upstairs and see. Xiaoyu's in-laws have brought the police to the door. They say Xiaoyu's husband was beaten up, and they even said you were the one who beat him up, so they sent the police to arrest you."
