Chapter 218 - 210: Destined by Fate
After hanging up the phone, Lu Aiguo slapped his forehead, berating himself for his foolishness. He had been so preoccupied with maintaining the secrecy of the matter that he forgot to clarify whether it was good news or bad news, causing his own mother to worry unnecessarily. It was truly inexcusable.
On the other end, Lu Yun’s uncle chuckled to his wife, "Now you can rest easy, right? No matter what it is, it’s definitely something good."
Only then did Lu Yun’s aunt finally breathe a sigh of relief, regaining her cheerful demeanor.
Early the next day, Lu Aiguo had made special arrangements for pick-up, and the people and vehicle designated to escort Lu Yun’s uncle and aunt to the Capital City quickly arrived at Yushu Village.
Lu Aiguo’s eldest uncle and his wife smiled as they saw them off. Now, they were the only two left living in Yushu Village from their branch of the family. Like Lu Yun’s aunt, they had grown accustomed to the village and had no desire to follow their children and grandchildren to the big city.
The Su Family.
At noon, Su Huahua’s father returned from the fields, hoe on his shoulder. As he entered the house, he saw Chen Juxiang in the yard, hunched over on a stool, struggling to scrub the laundry.
The frustration he had been forced to suppress on the way home—after being taunted that he still had to work the fields at his age, unlike Lu Yun’s uncle and aunt who were whisked away to the Capital City to enjoy the good life that morning—suddenly erupted again.
If it weren’t for this cursed woman in front of him, why would he still need to toil in the fields at his age? Wouldn’t he have been living the divine life like most others in the village by now, residing in a nice house, hiring others to work the land, and spending his days leisurely enjoying a few drinks, playing chess, and shooting the breeze?
Fuming with these thoughts, Su Huahua’s father saw red, anger mounting, malice brewing at his core. Thankfully, he still had some sense left; he threw down his hoe, charged over, and violently kicked Chen Juxiang, knocking her to the ground.
