Chapter 168 - 160: Altering the Family Tree
"Let’s head back too," Uncle Lu said, glancing at the pitiful retreating figures with a smile in his eyes. His wife’s elegance had not faded over the years.
After the villagers enjoyed the spectacle, they greeted the departing Lu Family with smiles and dispersed.
The arrival of Chen Hesheng and Zhu Baochai brought a new topic of conversation to Yushu Village, one that people would discuss for some time. Especially the news they had let slip before leaving, which had caused much laughter— the Su Family had the gall of a leopard. What were they thinking, picking a fight with the village head? How could it end well for them?
On the way back, Lu Yun looked at Grandma Lu with admiration. "Grandma, you were so cool just now." She quickly explained when everyone appeared confused, "It means very imposing."
"My daughter has chosen the perfect word. It was indeed very cool and imposing," Aiguo chimed in, playfully linking arms with Grandma Lu, "leaving your son with no room to show his muscle."
"Off with you, you father and daughter and your sweet-talk that could kill without compensation."
Grandma Lu was clearly in a great mood from the flattery, even reaching out to pat Lu Yun’s head, but she directed her words to Aiguo, "Why bother with such people? At the end of the day, they rely on seniority to take advantage. There’s no point in openly confronting them. Getting entangled with them will only lead to more confusion. In the end, whether you win or lose, you’ll be at a disadvantage."
"When I step in, it’s different. I have the seniority, and besides, we are in the right. But what’s the use of reasoning with such people? Isn’t that like winking at the blind? Better to step hard on their sore spot, to make them fearful and not dare to provoke you again."
