My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot
Chapter 217: Stroke

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Stroke

Old Master Lu held his smoking pipe and took a puff, exhaling a cloud of smoke and squinting his eyes as he said, "Regardless of whether that blockhead’s internet cafe makes money or not, since she has the money to open one, she definitely still has a lot of money. This time, no matter how much she claims to owe, we mustn’t believe her. What does her debt have to do with us? We just need her to provide for us in our old age!"

"Exactly!" Old Madam Lu nodded vigorously.

"Old lady, I get excited just thinking about it. This time we go, there’s no way she can kick us out again." Old Madam Lu schemed, "We know where her internet cafe and her home are located. If she’s unwilling to take care of us, we’ll just lie down in front of her internet cafe and create a scene. How will she be able to run her business then?"

"Although Youbang doesn’t know which specific building they live in within the complex, if we just lie down at the entrance of the complex and cause a scene that everyone knows about, it would be even more bustling than causing a scene right in front of their home."

Old Madam Lu laughed triumphantly, "Unless their entire family never leaves the house, they can’t escape. Their internet cafe needs to stay open, right? Lu Youxi needs to go to school, right? Liu Yushu needs to go to the market to buy things, right? Lu Youxue also needs to attend school, right? They simply can’t hide away at home!"

"If they want to continue living normally, they have to take good care of us. They’ll have to make space in their house for us to live, and continue living together as a family, just like before."

"Living together is good." Old Master Lu was truly fed up with Ge Guifen.

She’s inefficient at chores, can’t wash clothes properly, and even the food isn’t tasty, always showing a sour face.

"Old man, we’ll be city people from now on." The very thought wasn’t enough to contain Old Madam Lu’s laughter, "That blockhead has money, and we’ll be able to live the high life! No more poor living. You like dining out, right? With her being so rich, we can eat out every day, and you can have a bottle of white liquor, drinking and eating meat every day. After a full belly, just watch TV at home."

"Didn’t you hear what Xiao Ge’s family said? Her relatives work in the city, and now the color TVs there are so big, and so thin." Old Madam Lu gestured with her hands, "The TV channels there are much more than here, and the programs are so much richer."

"We don’t have to do anything at their house, just enjoy ourselves every day." Old Madam Lu mused, a beautiful image forming in her mind, "If TV gets boring, we can just go out and play. The Imperial Capital is so big, with so many famous historic sites to see, we should visit them all!"

"I didn’t get to really explore during the last National Day visit," Old Madam Lu said.

"Right, right, right." Old Master Lu beamed, nodding continuously, then looked down at his dusty shirt, "In the city, we’ll also buy some nice clothes, no more wearing these worn garments for fieldwork."

"Right!" Old Madam Lu clapped her thighs with anticipation and excitement, "We need to buy some good clothes. What we’re wearing now, it’s just embarrassing in the city!"

Old Master Lu took another puff from his pipe, exhaled a plume of smoke, and tapped his pipe on the edge of the table, "Once we’re in the city, I’ll smoke cigarettes, not this dry tobacco anymore."

The two of them continued to dream about their lush life in the Imperial Capital.

When it came time for bed, Old Madam Lu, sleeping on the outside, turned off the light and returned, quickly falling asleep, dreaming about her marvelous life in the city.

Old Master Lu, however, just couldn’t fall asleep, the vision of his lavish life in the Imperial Capital filling his mind whenever he closed his eyes.

The mere thought made him grin uncontrollably until the corners of his mouth just couldn’t stop.

He kept smiling, as if in a dream.

He dreamt that he and Old Madam Lu were staying in Lu Youxi’s house, that unfilial wretch, secretly renting a big house in the Imperial Capital behind their backs.

It was much bigger than their home in Hexing Village.

Clean and bright.

Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu were reluctant but had no choice but to move out of their main bedroom for him and Old Madam Lu.

The two of them stayed in the big bedroom, sleeping on a memory foam mattress, soft yet springy, far more comfortable than the bed they currently slept on.

It was like sleeping in the clouds.

While Old Master Lu slept, he felt as if everything beneath him turned soft and fluffy, and his whole body felt weightless.

He also dreamt of eating breakfast at home, Liu Yushu cooking porridge, with fried dough sticks and eggs on the table.

Now that there was money in the house, Liu Yushu would vary the dishes.

Sometimes it was big meat buns, sometimes steamed egg custard, or even fried eggs.

At lunch, he’d feel like dining out.

He tried every restaurant in the neighborhood.

Every day he would have two servings of liquor, two dishes of meat, one dish of vegetables, and an additional plate of peanuts.

While eating, he would watch random TV shows playing in the small restaurant.

After finishing lunch, he would stroll around to aid digestion.

The Imperial Capital had many attractions.

Today he would visit this one, tomorrow that one.

After wandering around, he would go home to a dinner rich with fish and meat, followed by two more servings of liquor.

He got to know many old men nearby, and they would chat, joke around, tease birds, fish, and play chess together.

Every month, Lu Youxi had to give him a hefty portion of her earnings for him and Old Madam Lu’s upkeep.

Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo had become as filial as they had been before.

Lu Youbang needed money for school, and with them around, Lu Youxi couldn’t refuse to contribute.

Lu Youbang’s life had also improved.

Old Master Lu even had Lu Youxi open a stock account in his name for trading.

Hadn’t Lu Youxi made a fortune through stock trading?

Old Master Lu also wanted to make money but didn’t want to spend his own.

So, in addition to the monthly upkeep and pocket money, he made Lu Youxi give him extra money for playing with stocks.

He wasn’t heartbroken if he lost.

Oh right, Lu Youxi also had a husband who leeched off her, Zhou Shuyan.

Because he leeched off her, Zhou Shuyan was especially obedient and didn’t dare talk back.

Whatever he told Zhou Shuyan to do, Zhou Shuyan did.

This blissful dream Old Master Lu had, he kept dreaming it, unwilling to wake up, his smile in his sleep so wide he couldn’t close his mouth.

In the morning, Old Madam Lu woke up and immediately saw Old Master Lu grinning.

Old Madam Lu murmured, "Who knows what sweet dreams this old man is having, still smiling with drool coming out."

"Get up now." Old Madam Lu nudged Old Master Lu.

But to no avail, she not only murmured, "What kind of dream could it be that he won’t wake up from."

Old Madam Lu pushed him several more times, "Old man, time to get up!"

Finally, she managed to wake Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu opened his eyes and saw Old Madam Lu just as he was getting up, suddenly his expression drastically changed.

"Ah... ah..." Old Master Lu’s cry sounded like the ducks in their yard.

"Old man, what’s wrong?" Old Madam Lu exclaimed in alarm.

Looking again at Old Master Lu, he was now cross-eyed and slack-jawed.
