Chapter 78 Is this Lu Chang, the third son of the Lu family? ...
Lu Lin said he had something to say to her and asked her to confess, which kept Shen Rong from sleeping well for several days. She kept making up stories. Who knew that something else happened in the north and he rushed there with his men.
This matter has been delayed again, and the two haven't seen each other for quite some time, feeling like their relationship has gone back to square one.
All that work for nothing! This is not a good sign!
Is it wrong for someone to be out of town to make a phone call, send a telegram, or write a letter? What a scumbag!
“Your dad is really bad, isn’t he a villain? You can’t learn from him, and you’re not allowed to have a long face. You have to smile more. Boys who smile are more lovable, you know?” Shen Rong gently shook her son.
Little Ming was very curious, looking around and waving his arms and legs. He was so happy that he grinned no matter what his mother said.
His little hands are strong, and he especially likes to grab things. When Shen Rong holds him, she doesn't dare to wear any jewelry, and she even has to tie her hair up in a high bun, otherwise she won't escape Xiao Ming's clutches.
He curiously reached out to grab his mother's mouth, perhaps because he thought she was too noisy, or perhaps he was curious about how his mother could make such a beautiful sound, while he could only make "ah ah" noises!
Shen Rong gently bit the chubby paw.
I'm starting to suspect that he ate too many chicken feet during his pregnancy, which made his hands incredibly fast and precise.
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming." Da Mao and Er Mao teased him with things, trying to distract him.
Xiao Ming was overjoyed and kicked her hard, making Shen Rong feel as if her internal organs were being kicked out of her stomach.
"If you keep doing this, we're going back inside." She patted his bottom lightly, and Xiaoming seemed to understand, looking at his mother with wet, aggrieved eyes.
"Sister-in-law, are you taking care of the child?"
A man at the door exclaimed with surprise and excitement.
Shen Rong looked up and saw a man carrying a small leather suitcase smiling at them. She was a little confused. Was he a new neighbor?
The man watched as the child in Shen Rong's arms moved away and opened his eyes. He put down the box, excitedly took two quick steps inside, and stretched out his hands: "Let me hold him!"
Who is this? He's so informal. Shen Rong dodged him and stared at him warily.
When Da Mao and Er Mao saw that the lady didn't recognize this person, they immediately rushed forward to protect him: "Who are you! Trying to steal our young master!"
Er Mao, quick-witted, shouted loudly into the house, "Mom, come out quickly! Kidnappers are here to snatch our young master!"
Shen Rong didn't have time to stop it.
She didn't think he was a human trafficker. He was dressed in a suit and looked respectable. Maybe he was an acquaintance who came to see Lu Lin.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Er Mao had already called for help. The man was both amused and exasperated: "Who's the kidnapper? I'm his uncle."
Da Mao wouldn't listen to him; protecting Shen Rong, he tried to lead her into the house.
Shen Rong reassured them that they were alright, then looked up at the man.
Seeing the unfamiliar look in her eyes, the man seemed hurt and turned around: "Sister-in-law, it's me! Don't you recognize me?"
Shen Rong secretly cried out in alarm; this tone was very familiar with the original owner of the body!
Lu Xuan screamed as she ran out of the house, leaping onto the man and hugging his neck tightly: "Third Brother, when did you get back!"
Third brother? Is this Lu Chang, the third son of the Lu family?
How embarrassing! No wonder they were so excited and enthusiastic!
Seeing that things were not going well, Da Mao and Er Mao secretly ran away. Shen Rong also wanted to run away, but she couldn't. Jiang Yufen and her husband also came out of the house. Lu You looked surprised and delighted: "Third brother, when did you come back?"
This is such a pleasant surprise!
"I just arrived, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law." Lu Chang greeted them; it was his first time meeting Jiang Yufen.
Shen Rong asked Gui Chun to bring Lu Chang's luggage into the house.
"Let's go inside and talk."
She tried to gloss over it, but Lu Chang bluntly pointed out, "Sister-in-law, you recognized me?"
"I see through it but don't say it. This child is so naive," Shen Rong chuckled awkwardly, then quickly came up with an irrefutable reason.
"You've changed a lot, and you've grown up."
That's true; I heard that Lu Chang has been studying abroad for two or three years.
Lu You nodded: "Your spirit and energy are completely different now. No wonder my sister-in-law didn't recognize you at first glance."
With someone coming to the rescue, Shen Rong felt more confident.
Lu Xuan was still clinging to her third brother's arm. Speaking of which, she and her third brother were the closest. They were about the same age, and Lu Chang had always taken care of her when they were little.
"Third Brother, you've gone out and gotten a makeover, you've become a handsome guy." He's completely different from the rustic Third Brother he used to be.
"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth." Lu Chang pushed her head away.
He was already handsome, it's like he had plastic surgery.
"Sister-in-law, I want to hug my nephew." She sounded a little hesitant, as if she had been frightened by Da Mao and the others earlier.
Shen Rong smiled and generously handed over the chubby little boy.
Lu Chang carefully took it, as if he were carrying a porcelain vase, his arm stiff.
Xiao Ming wasn't shy around strangers, but he was uncomfortable in this position, so he twisted his body and started looking for people.
"Third Brother, you can't hold me like that, you have to do it like this." Lu Xuan helped adjust the position.
Now Xiaoming felt better and stopped making a fuss. He began to curiously examine the strange man.
“I’m your uncle!” Lu Chang teased him.
Xiao Ming reached out to take off his glasses, but Shen Rong grabbed his hand and lightly slapped him twice: "Behave yourself."
"How can he be so fast?" Lu Chang asked curiously, taking off his glasses so he could play with them.
"He looks just like my brother."
Lu Xuan nodded, still somewhat dissatisfied: "I think it would be better if she looked like my sister-in-law." She turned to Shen Rong and said, "Sister-in-law, next time you have a niece, may she look more like you."
Shen Rong was speechless; she had even ordered food.
"Have your second sister-in-law give birth to a niece for you, that would be faster."
Jiang Yufen and Lu You blushed.
Shen Rong noticed something was wrong with the couple. Something was definitely amiss!
She pointed at the two of them: "You two..." her face full of surprise.
Jiang Yufen lowered her head, somewhat shyly: "I haven't gone to the hospital yet. I'm not sure."
Shen Rong immediately stood up and ordered someone to arrange a car. "Now, immediately, right away!"
The doctor said I'm pregnant, but it's still early in the pregnancy.
On her way home, Jiang Yufen carefully covered her stomach, her face beaming with happiness.
Lu Xuan and the others waited for news at home. When she saw her second brother carefully supporting her second sister-in-law, she actually understood what was going on.
She jumped up and said, "I'm going to have a niece. Can she look like me?"
That seems a bit difficult, as Lu Xuan looks remarkably like her mother.
Shen Rong replied dismissively, "Your second sister-in-law will try her best." Her tone, like she was coaxing a child, made everyone laugh.
"Third Brother is truly amazing!" Lu Xuan exclaimed.
Her words were so ambiguous that the room fell silent for a few seconds.
Lu Chang's face turned red with anxiety, and he scolded her, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just got here!" This is too much trouble for her!
Shen Rong couldn't help but turn her head and shrug, Lu You's face darkened, and Jiang Yufen lowered her head to suppress her laughter.
Lu Xuan was completely confused: "Yes, you just arrived and your sister-in-law already has good news. You're practically our family's lucky star."
Lu Changsong exhaled deeply: "You brat, you can't even speak properly, you scared me to death!"
That evening, Lu Lin finally called back, and Shen Rong told him that Lu Chang had arrived and that Jiang Yufen had good news.
Lu Lin hummed in agreement, also surprised by Lu Chang's sudden arrival: "When did he return to the country?"
Has he gone home yet?
Shen Rong answered several questions in succession: "It seems like I've been back for a few months. I was in Shanghai before that."
She turned around, glanced in the direction of the living room, and lowered her voice: "From what I heard, he hasn't been back to his hometown yet."
"You brat!" Lu Lin's voice deepened, demanding that Lu Chang answer the phone.
Shen Rong looked at Lu Chang apologetically.
He shrugged, looking indifferent: "Sister-in-law, this scolding was bound to happen sooner or later. The sooner the better. He can't hit me over the phone. By the time my brother comes back in a few days, he should have calmed down."
What else can Shen Rong say? He has such a good attitude.
"You're quite open-minded."
I don't know what Lu Lin said over there, but Lu Chang kept nodding and saying "yes" or "I understand."
It sounds like he's being scolded.
"Third Brother is really bold." Lu Xuan said with admiration.
How dare he come to my brother's place without going home, and even dare to return to China early without informing his family? He's got some nerve.
He was just lucky that his older brother wasn't home; otherwise, he would have been skinned alive.
"My third brother is a bit lucky." Her tone was tinged with sourness and jealousy.
Lu You said, "Don't follow his example."
Lu Xuan pouted, rolled her eyes, and leaned closer: "Second brother, you're also an older brother, why don't you use family discipline on third brother!"
She looked on with an air of anticipation, clearly eager to witness a sibling rivalry.
Lu Chang had just arrived when he heard her words. He grabbed her long hair and said, "You little brat! I brought you so many good things, and you betrayed me right away. You even encouraged your second brother to punish me. I'm your brother too. Let's see how I deal with you!"
The two siblings were bickering, and Lu You rolled his eyes, sighed, and helped his wife up to leave the battlefield.
Before leaving, she kindly reminded Shen Rong, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about them. Just wait for them to decide who wins and who loses."
Shen Rong nodded.
Before the call ended, Shen Rong continued talking to Lu Lin, who told her that he would probably be back in four or five days.
"How's the situation going?"
Lu Lin's tone remained normal: "That's about it."
The matter wasn't serious, but the situation was somewhat complicated. Originally, it was a conflict between local farmers and foreign residents over water sources. The foreign residents were in the wrong, and the police could have easily handled it. However, the foreign residents had Japanese backing them, which made things more difficult. Everyone could see that the Japanese were deliberately causing trouble.
That's why Dou Wenliang sent Lu Lin to handle this matter personally.
Lu Lin asked his son again, and Shen Rong told him that he was already asleep. Before hanging up, Lu Lin lowered his voice and said, "Keep an eye on my third brother for me."
Shen Rong didn't understand what it meant.
"He's not the kind of person who likes to have fun." He went back to China but didn't visit his parents. Knowing that the situation in Bincheng is complicated, he still came all the way to visit his relatives.
"Aren't you overthinking it?"
Lu Lin snorted coldly: "I'm not trying to harm him."
"Okay, then be careful over there and stay safe." Shen Rong said cautiously, knowing that her earlier doubt might have hurt Lu Lin's fragile heart.
Lu Lin hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.
In disbelief, Shen Rong glanced at the phone, then angrily hung up.
The commotion was quite loud, and Lu Xuan and Lu Chang stopped making a fuss and looked over at each other.
"Is your sister-in-law angry?" Lu Chang asked.
Lu Xuan nodded: "Big brother always likes to tease sister-in-law like this. He'll be in for a world of hurt when he gets back." She spoke with a tone of self-deprecation.
Lu Chang glanced at Shen Rong, who was going upstairs, and said thoughtfully, "Sister-in-law seems to have changed a lot."
Lu Xuan glanced at him and said, "Is that even a question? My sister-in-law has already had a child. How could she not change? Not only has my sister-in-law changed, but my brother has changed, and I have changed too!"
She looked Lu Chang up and down: "I think Third Brother has changed too."
Lu Chang raised an eyebrow: "How have I changed?"
Lu Xuan stroked her chin and circled around him, saying, "He looks a bit like my older brother used to be."
After saying that, she took a step back in disgust: "You copycat, you've tried to draw a tiger but ended up with a dog instead."
Lu Chang's face turned pale with anger.
"You just wait, Lu Xiaomei."
Lu Xuan made a face at him at the top of the stairs.
