The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1843: Chapter 1843: So She Has So Many Relatives

Despite their disdain, everyone was quite interested in entering the mountain.

The Lu family used to frequent the mountain, even when Shurui was young, he would go into the hills to gather pigweed.

But in the past couple of years, this has become rare, as most of them live in the city now and don’t have opportunities to visit the mountain.

As they are just playing around the periphery, it’s not dangerous, so everyone took a rest and then set off into the mountains, with the Old Village Chief having his grandson lead the way.

Only Lu Erbai stayed behind to chat with the Old Village Chief.

After talking with him, the Old Village Chief slowly came to realize that a few years ago, the Lu family was not well off, barely scraping by in dire straits.

It wasn’t until they found the long-lost County Lord Lu that their situation gradually improved.

He had originally wondered how the Lu family, having a village chief and living well, hadn’t come to find Granny Fang until now. Could it be that they thought Granny Fang had perished in the flood?

Now thinking back, the Lu family was helpless, unable to protect even themselves.

But there’s a saying: after the storm comes the rainbow. Isn’t the Lu family the perfect example?

While a few were chatting, inside the house, the old lady and Granny Fang cried yet again.

They seemed to have endless things to say, continuing until noon, when Granny Feng finally couldn’t resist knocking on the door. No matter how sad or talkative, they still have to eat, especially since they are both quite old and can’t afford to be hungry.

Their eyes were terribly red, and their voices were hoarse when they finally emerged.

Lu Erbai was a bit worried, ”Mother, Aunt, you two have gone to great lengths to meet, so you must take care of yourselves.”

Granny Fang, returning to her senses, looked at Lu Erbai and hesitantly asked, ”Is this...”

”This is my second son, Yu’s father. He and Sanzhu came with me this time, along with my three grandsons.” The old lady said, holding her sister’s hand and peeking outside, asking curiously, ”Where are Sanzhu and the others?”

”They went into the mountain. At this time, they should be coming back for lunch soon.”

Just as the words fell, a noisy clamor came from outside.

The old lady chuckled, ”They’re back.”

Granny Fang anxiously looked outside and sure enough, saw three boys running in excitedly, sweating profusely and immediately looking for water upon entering.

Behind them came Lu Sanzhu and Yuan Gui with their arms slung across each other’s shoulders, talking about something, with Yuan Gui’s face flushed red.

Granny Fang said, ”That’s Yuan Gui, the child I acknowledged at the beginning of the year.”

”So it’s him.” The old lady looked at him for a moment and saw Yuan Gui seemingly struggling under Lu Sanzhu’s influence, quickly went up and smacked his hand hard, ”Are you bullying him?”

Lu Sanzhu cried out, ”Mother, I’m not. Yuan Gui is my junior, how could I bully him as his elder? I was just telling him I would find him a wife when we got back, and the kid got shy.”

Yuan Gui immediately realized who was in front of him and quickly greeted her respectfully.

The old lady smiled, ”Yu has told me about you; you’re a good kid. If anyone bullies you in the future, tell me and I’ll stand up for you.”

As she spoke, the old lady introduced her sons and grandsons to Granny Fang.

Facing Granny Fang, Lu Sanzhu put away his frivolous attitude and greeted her properly, finally earning the old lady’s approval.

Granny Fang, looking at the relatives before her, had her eyes well up again.
