Seeing her parents' attitude change drastically, Lu Han nervously went back upstairs to her room.
When Steward Xu returned from shopping, he saw Wu Ma carrying a silk quilt upstairs and assumed that there were important guests staying overnight.
Only after asking did I learn that it was prepared for the real young master.
"Great! That child is of good character and deserves such good fortune!"
Butler Xu went to a secluded spot and secretly wiped his eyes.
He knew better than Old Wang and Aunt Wu what the child had suffered.
Sometimes he thought more than once that if the Lu family couldn't accept him, he would take him home to live with them. His son and daughter-in-law would be so happy!
He didn't know how good a family that accumulates good deeds could be.
But families that treat children badly are definitely not kind people.
It seems I misunderstood the master and mistress before.
As evening approached, Qin Fengying finally emerged from the kitchen.
She patiently prepared a medicinal chicken soup, packed it all up, and planned to take it to the hospital to help her son recover.
Lu Han stood by the window and watched her get into the car. His jealousy almost drove him crazy.
But he restrained himself and did not stop them.
Lu Yi was too clever for his own good, and he made such a mess of things, cutting off his own escape route. Now we'll see how he can get back.
...
"What! My son is missing?"
"Tell me quickly, where did you hide my son? He was so badly injured, and you were the ones who said he needed to be hospitalized for observation. Now you're telling me this?"
Qin Fengying stood at the door of the ward, grabbed the nurse, and questioned her in a panic.
The nurse looked at her with disgust.
Security guards stepped forward to maintain order and hurriedly released Qin Fengying's hand from the nurse's collar.
"Madam, if you think the hospital is at fault, you can call the police. Shouting here is disturbing other patients!"
Qin Fengying slumped to the ground in despair.
After regaining my composure, I remembered to call my husband.
“Zhengming, our son isn’t in the hospital. The nurses said he…he insisted on being discharged, and we couldn’t stop him. Where do you think he could have gone?”
Lu Zhengming had seen a lot of the world.
After hanging up the phone, he thought of Lu Yi's adoptive parents' house.
He personally drove Qin Fengying from the hospital and headed straight for that old residential area.
To everyone's surprise, the door was locked and there was no one inside.
Lu Zhengming called his daughters and asked them to imagine places Lu Yi might go and go look for them.
But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any trace of Lu Yi.
Qin Fengying really wanted to call the police, but Lu Zhengming hesitated the moment the call connected.
Once the police get involved, the neighbors, relatives and friends will all know about Lu Yi's existence, and then we'll be in a passive position.
After discussing it for a while, the couple took the gifts and went to the neighborhood committee of Luyi Community.
The manager was deeply impressed by Lu Zhengming and his wife.
Upon hearing that they had come for Lu Yi, he slapped his thigh and began to speak eloquently.
"Coincidentally, these past few days have been the death anniversaries of his adoptive parents... Lu Yi's adoptive parents."
"Why do I say a few days? Because the elderly couple passed away only a week apart."
“Every summer around this time, he volunteers at the cemetery. I even arranged it for him!”
"Huh, didn't Lu Yi mention this to you guys?"
Death anniversary, cemetery, volunteers...
Taken individually, it doesn't seem like anything special.
But when the three are put together, there's an indescribable eeriness to it.
The couple, of course, had no idea.
Because they had never sat down and had a proper chat with Lu Yi about everyday matters.
In their minds, poor families only have so many things to do every day, like getting enough to eat, and there's nothing much to talk about.
Little did they know that these ordinary days filled their son's entire past life.
Lu Zhengming frowned and quickly changed the subject, "Don't you know he's still a minor? Is it appropriate for him to be a volunteer?"
The manager stared at him for a long time, then gave an awkward smile.
“If I hadn’t taken you to meet your relatives, I would have seriously doubted your identities.”
“The cemetery is managed by one of Lu Yi’s cousins. If you don’t acknowledge him and take him back, then that cousin will be Lu Yi’s guardian.”
"What's wrong with him going to pay respects to his parents and staying with his uncle for a few days?"
By the time the two left the residential area, it was completely dark.
As business people, they were rather averse to gloomy places, so they turned back home halfway there.
...
My uncle's name is Lu Gensheng, and he looks a lot like my adoptive father.
Whether it's the shape of his face, his features, or his body shape, he bears the resemblance to his adoptive father.
He lost his only child early in life, and his wife passed away soon after. He had long since come to terms with life and simply found a job guarding a cemetery.
Firstly, you don't have to worry about those stressful and exhausting interpersonal relationships.
Secondly, his parents, wife, children, and brothers are buried in this cemetery. He doesn't find it scary; on the contrary, he feels that this place is more like home than his own home.
He was surprised when he received Lu Yi's call.
I had heard that the child had been taken away by his biological parents, but I was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable about it, so I didn't dare to ask about his current situation.
Upon hearing that he had been in a car accident, the old man immediately drove his electric scooter to the hospital without saying a word.
On his way back, he bought a chicken and some ribs.
Lu Yi, who was starving, smelled the aroma, licked his lips, and limped down to the ground.
Lu Gensheng felt extremely distressed seeing how hungry he was.
I took a thin blanket from the bedside, folded it, placed it on the chair, and helped him sit up steadily.
"Look what I've done to my child! In just six months, he's become so thin he looks unrecognizable!"
He filled a large bowl with chicken and placed it in front of Lu Yi. "Eat up, eat more. Your uncle earns enough to support you every month. You won't go hungry!"
