Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Let My Grandparents Know
Lu Youxi talked to them briefly about her studies at school. Then she said, "Dad, Mom, isn’t National Day coming up? Our dorm is going to stay open during the holiday, so I was thinking of not coming back home. Why don’t you bring Youxue to the Imperial Capital?"
"Go to the Imperial Capital?" Liu Yushu exclaimed in surprise, "That... that’s going to cost a lot, right? Not only our travel expenses but also accommodation in the Imperial Capital isn’t cheap!"
"Yeah, Youxi, we’re not in a hurry to get there," Lu Zhenguo added.
"Dad, Mom, here’s what I’m thinking. You’re going to come over sooner or later. According to my plan, it would take at most two or three months to bring you over," Lu Youxi explained. "So, I thought it’d be better for you to come to the Imperial Capital beforehand and get used to it, as opposed to coming over without knowing anything and being completely in the dark."
"Youxue will have to start school soon after he arrives, so it’s best to let him familiarize himself with the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, when it’s time for school, it would catch Youxue off guard," said Lu Youxi. "And as for you two, if you’re looking for jobs, don’t you need to know about the hiring situation here? What buses to take, what subway to use? We don’t even have a subway in Fengnan City, so you should come learn about it, right?"
"It’s perfect since I’ll be free during the National Day holiday, I can show you around. Otherwise, once you really move here and if I’m too busy to help you get to know the place, you wouldn’t even want to step outside, would you?"
Lu Zhenguo listened and felt it made a lot of sense, but still hesitated, "But it’s just too expensive."
"Dad, I’ve taken out student loans for my tuition and living expenses, so I’ve saved up my scholarship. That should cover your trip over during National Day," Lu Youxi explained. "I always plan ahead. I can’t just do things on a whim."
"You should keep your scholarship money for yourself!" Liu Yushu said with concern.
"Money can always be earned again! And I’m even thinking about finding a tutoring job or some other part-time work in the Imperial Capital." This was naturally just an excuse Lu Youxi used, as she had other plans in mind.
"Then... should we listen to Youxi?" Liu Yushu discussed with Lu Zhenguo over the phone. "Youxi is the most educated person in our family. Since she says it’s not a problem, maybe we should just listen to her."
"When has Youxi ever made a mistake?" Liu Yushu thought that following the advice of an educated person couldn’t be wrong.
Lu Youxi was indeed a child who was both thoughtful and had plans.
Even the Lu Family’s elders and the couple Lu Zhenjia and his wife had no way of dealing with Lu Youxi.
Liu Yushu, feeling that she wasn’t smart, decided it was best to follow the advice of those who were.
After thinking it over, Lu Zhenguo said, "Alright then."
"Great, so why don’t you come over on the 29th?" Lu Youxi suggested, "Better early than to rush during the National Day peak period when train tickets are hard to get. If needed, you could head back a few days earlier, on October 6, to avoid the peak period when everyone is returning home."
"Alright, let’s do as you say," Lu Zhenguo agreed, nodding his head.
After hanging up, Lu Youxi immediately called Aunt Lin, "Aunt Lin, it’s Youxi."
"Youxi!" Aunt Lin exclaimed excitedly, "Why are you calling me? Is this... your phone?"
"Yes, it’s a phone Zhou Shuyan bought for me," Lu Youxi said with a smile.
After Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan left, Aunt Lin had casually asked Liu Yushu about Zhou Shuyan’s real name during their chat.
After all, now that Zhou Shuyan’s memory had returned, he should also remember his real name.
Since Zhou Shuyan mentioned it to Liu Yushu, he clearly didn’t mind the villagers knowing.
Because he had already appeared in the Imperial Capital, there was no need for secrecy.
As a result, everyone in Hexing Village knew Zhou Shuyan’s real name.
"Oh wow, Shuyan is really reliable, buying you such an expensive thing. You didn’t marry the wrong guy," Aunt Lin complimented.
Lu Youxi just laughed and said, "Aunt Lin, I’ve asked my parents to bring Youxue to the Imperial Capital for National Day. Please tell Aunt Liu about it, so I don’t have to call her. Take a look if there’s anything you want to buy, and my parents can get it for you here and bring it back."
Hexing Village’s biggest shopping spot was usually the neighboring Hetai Town.
But the town’s offerings were limited—many things available in big cities were not to be found there.
Even the people from Hetai Town would send requests to relatives or friends in the city or who lived in the city to mail them things that could only be purchased in the city.
"Eh! Alright!" Aunt Lin couldn’t help saying, "Youxi, you really have it sorted! Barely settled in the Imperial Capital, and you’re already thinking of bringing your parents and Youxue over for a visit. Look at Lu Youbang; his grandparents and parents have been so good to him, yet he’s never mentioned taking them to the Imperial Capital for a visit."
Aunt Lin was a bit envious; she too wanted to visit the Imperial Capital to see the world.
"Speaking of which, Aunt Lin, there’s something else I’d like to ask for your help with," Lu Youxi said to Aunt Lin with a smile.
Hearing this, Aunt Lin’s interest was immediately piqued, sensing new gossip. She quickly said with spirit, "Whatever it is, just say it. If it’s within my power, I promise to do a neat job for you!"
"You know my parents are bringing Youxue to the Imperial Capital for National Day? They probably won’t tell my grandparents. I’ll need your help to let my grandparents know," Lu Youxi said.
Aunt Lin asked, puzzled, "But if your grandparents find out, they’ll definitely want to go to the Imperial Capital with your parents. If they think you’re having your parents and Youxue visit the Imperial Capital, they’re going to assume you have money. And if you have money, how could they let it go? They say they’ve split the family when there’s no money, but as soon as you have money, with your grandparents’ characters, they’re sure to stick to you like flies."
After speaking, Aunt Lin regretted her words a bit, feeling she had spoken too hastily.
Comparing Lu Youxi’s grandparents to flies was hardly appropriate.
What if Lu Youxi felt offended.
Aunt Lin quickly added, "Youxi, I spoke without thinking. Don’t take it to heart."
Lu Youxi smiled indifferently, "Aunt Lin, what are you worried about? Aren’t they just like that? But actually, I do want them to come to the Imperial Capital, ideally bringing my aunt and Youzhen along too."
Aunt Lin took a deep breath. Lu Youxi didn’t seem the type to seek trouble for herself.
"What... are you planning?" Aunt Lin’s curiosity was stirred again, and she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight without getting some answers.
Lu Youxi knew Aunt Lin’s nature well and to give her some motivation, Lu Youxi candidly said, "Lu Youbang is lying at school. He says that his family is from Fengnan City, not from our village, and he slanders us by saying we’re jealous because they moved to the city and wouldn’t take us with them, so we’re deliberately ruining his reputation."
