Chapter 1171: Heading to the Frontier 1
Following the uproar caused by Wang Xiangmei, the villagers of Wanglou Brigade started to shun Wang Xinlai’s family; no one went to ask whether it was they who had brought Wang Xiangmei there, nor did anyone have any dealings with them.
The situation was most regrettable for Guan Cheng and Guan Yu, who already had their share of troubles, but now things were even worse.
Although during Wang Xiangmei’s disturbance, nobody admitted they were descendants of the Guan family, neither did anyone deny it. Those who were previously unaware of the matter only needed to think a little to guess the truth, and could not help but cluck their tongues in amazement.
Some girls who had originally wanted to marry Guan Cheng, or who fancied him, now hesitated after this incident.
Even though the issue with Wang Xiangmei had been temporarily resolved so she couldn’t trouble Guan Cheng and Guan Yu, there was still an underlying risk. With a background like the Guan family’s, a mother-in-law like Wang Xiangmei, and a bunch of hangers-on, it was really more than most people could handle.
Feeling the recent gossip would impact the children adversely, Lu’s father asked Wang Zhengguo for a letter of introduction, sending Guan Cheng, Guan Yu, and Lu Tianzhi to the border defense forces to visit relatives, "Your aunt has given birth to triplets, and I’m especially anxious about whether they can manage. Even if you go and just help your uncle and aunt take care of Xibao and Fubao, that would be a great help."
As for the possibility of interrupting their studies, Lu’s father felt it wasn’t important.
Guan Cheng had been considering taking his younger brother away to avoid the spotlight, but Lu’s father beat him to the punch, "Alright, let’s go see our uncle and aunt. Even though everyone says Tianzhi and Ayu look like twins, they’re not really. Let’s go and see the real triplets!"
Guan Yu’s smile was incredibly wide, "Triplets! I can finally meet our aunt!"
