“What are you rushing for? Don’t you know the kind of people who lack decency, conscience, and love to stir up trouble as if they wish the world were in chaos? If they fart, do you have to hurry up to catch the smell and savor it?”
The second aunt’s face showed disappointment as if she was dealing with someone failing to meet her expectations, and her tone grew slightly harsher.
“Even if you’ve heard something, you should now act as if you haven’t. Shut your doors and focus on making your family’s life prosperous and thriving. That’s the biggest slap in the face to them. Let them be green with envy, full of nothing but jealousy and admiration—that’s the only sensible thing to do.”
The grandmother spoke such reasonable words; indeed, wisdom often comes from ordinary people.
Lu Yun looked at her second aunt with tears in her eyes, feeling as though she was shedding any minor grudge she had held against her from a past life.
“Your second aunt is right. Aiguo, it doesn’t matter what others say; what matters is what you think. Fools are controlled by others’ words and become puppets, lashing out as directed, only to be laughed at by those who manipulate them. The wise are different; they know whom to keep close and whom to keep at a distance and have the resolve not to be misled or controlled by anyone’s words.”
Second Uncle Lu knew that Lu Aiguo was actually the kind of wise man he was talking about, but he was worried that in a moment of confusion, Aiguo might act impulsively after hearing words he shouldn’t have. Therefore, the necessary precautions still had to be taken.
Thinking about how the Su Family was starting to stir up trouble again, spreading unsavory rumors about Xia Yuan and her daughter to overshadow the incident caused by Chen Juxiang deceiving Xiaoyun with medicine, his anger flared.
Now, with rumors running rampant and sensitivities high, he wouldn’t confront the Su Family directly. However, it seemed he needed to have a “heart-to-heart” with a few people and get those rumors under control first…
Hmph, had he spent all these years as Party Secretary for nothing? If he didn’t show his might, did they really think he was just a sick cat, merely a decoration? Had they not realized that Xia Yuan was now his “niece-in-law”? Did they still think of her as the Su Family’s widow who could be easily manipulated and bullied by just anyone?
Before attempting to slap his “niece-in-law’s” face, they should see whether he, Lu Chaoqun, would allow it. And had they considered how clean their own backsides were?
Meanwhile, Second Uncle Lu was mulling over how to handle the matter quietly and effectively.
On the way back, Lu Aiguo walked towards his elder uncle’s house with his wife’s hand tightly in his, carrying Lu Yun on his shoulders, all while looking somewhat sullen.
He knew those people from the Su Family could never keep quiet, and who knew what nonsense they had been saying about him behind his back these days. Yet since they hadn’t said anything to his face, he couldn’t just go knocking on their door with no reason. This feeling of being stifled was truly unbearable.
Endure.
The second aunt was right; first, he must make his own life prosperous. Later, he would make everyone envy Xia Yuan. He would never again let anyone find an excuse to laugh at her.
“Wife, rest assured, no matter what nonsense they say, I’ll never believe it. From now on, I will always treat you well and never despise you,”
Lu Aiguo told Xia Yuan, then turned to Lu Yun and said, “Daughter, don’t be foolish anymore. There’s not a single good thing in the Su Family, you can’t make your mother sad again. From now on, we both must not let her be disappointed; we must make her proud.”
Lu Aiguo spoke with more and more conviction, “Being angry is not as good as being outstanding. We must take this breath back for your mother.”
Tears suddenly fell from Lu Yun’s eyes. In her past life, had she missed out on someone who could have been so caring and tender to her mother? Looking over at her mom, she saw Xia Yuan’s eyes, too, were moist.
In this life, she felt she had become much more emotional, especially when it came to topics about her mother; her tears would fall at the slightest provocation. Fortunately, at that moment, she was sitting up high where her father couldn’t see, so after sniffing and composing herself, she nodded vigorously.
“That’s right, it’s better to prove oneself than to be angry. Let’s make everyone envious and jealous of mom in the future.”
“Okay, it’s decided.”
Lu Aiguo suddenly felt invigorated as if he had been injected with chicken blood, tightening his grasp on Xia Yuan’s hand, filled with anticipation for the future. He was determined to make money, a lot of money, to treat his wife every day to delicious food and drink, so she wouldn’t have to work and could live comfortably as a plump lady of leisure.
“It’s decided.”
Lu Yun stretched out her arms in front of her. Thankfully, she didn’t have the ability to read minds, otherwise, she would definitely have sprayed Lu Aiguo’s face with her drool: What does he mean by keeping her plump?
Dad, do you think you’re raising pigs?
Have you even asked mom if she wants to be kept plump? Most overweight people have all sorts of health problems, only when you’re just the right size can you carry off beautiful clothes, strut confidently, and show off to others, am I right?
Lu Yun fantasized about her mother clad in magnificent battle attire, standing there stately and supremely dignified, silencing the Su Family with her presence alone, which made her burst into uncontrollable giggles.
“What are you thinking about? You seem so happy,” Lu Aiguo asked curiously; Xia Yuan also looked over.
“I was thinking how beautiful mom would look in her clothes.”
Lu Yun remembered the many beautiful pieces of clothing she had collected—in her space, aside from food, the second most abundant items were all sorts of lovely dresses. She had not just prepared them for herself but had also stocked every conceivable size for an average person.
Of course, she had prepared many in her own size, as well as sizes she imagined her father and mother could wear—some were fancy, some for everyday wear, and others were durable and dirt-resistant.
Moreover, she had also stocked up on a lot of fabric in various patterns and colors, because in her past life, she had a little hobby of DIY bags and various fabric crafts. So, whenever she saw pretty fabrics, embroidery threads, needles, buttons… she simply couldn’t resist.
“Dad, there are also clothes in my big warehouse. Shall we take some out for mom to wear?” Lu Yun whispered into Lu Aiguo’s ear with a mischievous smile on her face.
The clothes she mentioned were the sexy undergarments and nightwear. The current era hadn’t reached the point of a flourishing variety in fashion, and most of the clothes in her vast warehouse were not suitable for public display, but they could be worn at home.
She couldn’t help but snicker secretly at the thought of her mother, behind closed doors, enchanting her father and turning him head over heels.
“Of course, why not?” Lu Aiguo certainly loved the idea of his wife dressed up prettily.
“You two have decided on your own? Didn’t you even think to ask me?” Xia Yuan, seeing her daughter’s knowing smile, felt instinctively that something was off, yet she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly that was.
“Hey, about that baby bottle—Xiaoyun, how did you think to say those things to your second grandpa and grandma?” Lu Aiguo chuckled, trying to change the subject and recalling the baby bottle incident, so he asked Lu Yun, a bit puzzled.
Lu Yun stuck out her tongue at her mother and chose to ignore her protest.
