Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Zhou Shuyan: I’ve Moved In

Lu Youxi could only accompany them around the Imperial Capital tomorrow.

So today, Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo took Lu Youxue to familiarize themselves with the neighborhood near their home.

Since they would be moving here in the future, they took the opportunity to learn more about the area and managed to stop by the market to buy some vegetables and meat.

While preparing the vegetables, Liu Yushu said, "No wonder Xiao Liu says city folks prefer our rural, natural, and pollution-free farm products. The vegetables here are expensive, and though they look beautiful without a single bug bite on the leaves, it’s clear they’ve been treated with a lot of pesticides. This chicken too, it’s so soft, not firm at all."

"Next time we come, we’ll bring all the chickens from home," Lu Zhenguo suggested.

Liu Yushu, surprised, asked instinctively, "Not even leaving one behind?"

Lu Zhenguo hesitated for a moment before replying, "What’s there to keep? We raised those chickens and ducks ourselves. Did anyone else contribute? Can’t make it easy on them."

Liu Yushu’s lips curled into a smile unconsciously, "Right, you reminded me, the ducks need to go too. We should kill them ahead of time and freeze them. It’s less than a day’s journey, so it shouldn’t be a problem. We’ll freeze them as soon as we get here."

While they were chatting, the doorbell rang.

Liu Yushu was busy, so Lu Zhenguo went to answer the door.

Upon opening it, he saw Zhou Shuyan standing at the door, dragging a black suitcase.

Zhou Shuyan was dressed in a suit and shoes, a look Lu Zhenguo had seen before but still wasn’t used to.

The first time was yesterday when they had just arrived.

Zhou Shuyan came directly to a small restaurant from his company.

He looked impeccably sharp in his suit, as if it was perfectly tailored for his figure.

On Zhou Shuyan, it looked particularly good.

Sitting down in that small restaurant seemed to brighten the whole room.

Now, seeing Zhou Shuyan standing at the doorway brought back that same feeling.

Everything seemed especially bright.

"Xiao Zhou is here, come in." Lu Zhenguo let Zhou Shuyan in, closed the door, and then asked about his luggage, "This is..."

"Since you weren’t here before and Youxi was staying at school, I was still living at home supporting my mother. Now that you’re here, I’ll move in," Zhou Shuyan explained.

"Come here." Liu Yushu washed her hands, temporarily put aside her work, and led Zhou Shuyan to Lu Youxi’s bedroom, "Yes, being separated for so long right after getting married makes no sense. Fortunately, now that Youxi is on holiday, it’s time to live together. Shall I help you unpack?"

"No need, I can manage on my own," Zhou Shuyan quickly responded.

"But is this all the luggage you brought?" Liu Yushu asked, puzzled.

"A bit at a time, I can’t bring too much all at once," Zhou Shuyan explained.

"Well, yes." Liu Yushu slapped her forehead, "Look at me asking silly questions. We even moved our luggage in batches when we came."

"Then you start unpacking, and I will continue preparing dinner," Liu Yushu said with a smile, "By the way, is there anything specific you’d like to eat? Your dad and I bought quite a few items at the market today. Just let me know if you want something, we should have the ingredients."

"I’m not picky, I like pretty much the same stuff as you," Zhou Shuyan replied, "I like whatever Youxi likes."

"You’re always too accommodating towards her," Liu Yushu said, but deep down, she was pleased.

It showed how well Zhou Shuyan treated Lu Youxi.

"Isn’t that how it should be?" Zhou Shuyan smiled, "Youxi is capable, a top student from Jing University, and she knows how to earn money. I don’t know what good deeds I did in past lives to be able to marry her. If I don’t treat her well, what if she leaves me?"

"Listen to you talk," Liu Yushu blushed with happiness as Zhou Shuyan praised Lu Youxi.

She felt even more enthusiastic about making dinner.

Zhou Shuyan unpacked his luggage in the room. Lu Youxi’s wardrobe was empty.

Her luggage was still at the university since she hadn’t moved in yet, so this place didn’t have any of her daily necessities.

Zhou Shuyan went ahead and hung his clothes in the closet, filling up about half the space.

Lu Zhenguo entered the kitchen and quietly said to Liu Yushu, "How about that? Feeling relieved now?"

Seeing Liu Yushu nodding with a smile, Lu Zhenguo said, "You were worried there were issues between them, and now Xiao Zhou has moved in, it was just you overthinking."

"Yes, I was overthinking," Liu Yushu nodded, "But I couldn’t help it. They are married now, and the Zhou Family’s conditions are much better than ours; I was worried the Zhou Family might oppose it. Originally, Xiao Zhou married Youxi in our village without probably ever mentioning it to his family. A child suddenly gets married and brings a wife home, and his family knows nothing about this daughter-in-law, who would be happy with that?"

"If they found out about our situation, they’d be even less pleased. And Xiao Zhou’s mother is particularly dependent on him since she’s now alone, hoping for her son’s success and happiness. Honestly, if I were in the Zhou Family’s position, I wouldn’t be happy either if my son brought home a wife from such a background," Liu Yushu had already empathized with them.

"That’s why I’m even more worried, always reminding Xiao Zhou to meet his mother-in-law, afraid they might not be pleased with Youxi." Liu Yushu spoke softly, "It just so happens his mother is recuperating abroad. I was thinking, what if they are dissatisfied with Youxi, so they came up with this excuse to avoid meeting us?"

"But now that Xiao Zhou has moved in, at least it shows that there are no problems between the kids," Lu Zhenguo spoke softly, "Don’t always be so pessimistic; Youxi is a high achiever in her own right. Didn’t you hear Xiao Zhou? Youxi is a top student at Jing University, smart and capable. She’s only a freshman and already earning decent money. I bet Youxi earns much more than Xiao Zhou. Such an exceptional girl would be highly sought after even in the city."

"Youxi is exceptional, but that can’t stop us..." Liu Yushu grimaced, "from being a drag."

After all, the Lu Family’s elders were Lu Zhenguo’s parents, and it was already not easy for Lu Zhenguo to manage his priorities.

She didn’t feel it was fair to ask Lu Zhenguo to completely cut ties with them, so she didn’t complain about how peculiar his family was.

"Marriage isn’t just about two people; it involves two families. Our situation is enough to dilute Youxi’s excellence," Liu Yushu sighed but then perked up, "It’s alright, now we’ve moved to the city. Once we find jobs, we’ll work hard. We don’t need prestigious jobs, just ones that pay so we don’t have to rely on the kids’ money. Let Youxue study hard too, so he can support his sister in the future."

"Our family will get better," Lu Zhenguo said, "As you mentioned, we could reach the standard of ordinary city folks. Not every city family has it that good, you know."
