Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Uncle, I’ve Come to Find You

"Aunt Lin, what are you even saying!" Lu Youxi’s voice carried a very obvious disapproval, reaching Aunt Lin’s ears, "First off, you knew about my grandpa’s stroke and told me immediately, which allowed me to properly think about what I need to do next. It gave me an edge to avoid being schemed against by Lu Youbang."

"If you hadn’t told me about this, all my considerations afterward would have been pointless." Lu Youxi complained, "You mustn’t blame yourself like that. Moreover, whether it was telling me about my grandpa’s stroke or reminding me not to tell my dad straight away, your intention was for my benefit."

"And I know this better than anyone; you really mustn’t talk down about yourself."

Although Lu Youxi’s tone was full of dissatisfaction, this kind of dissatisfaction was incredibly soothing to Aunt Lin’s ears.

From head to toe, she felt warm.

Her good intentions had not been wasted.

Lu Youxi knew this.

Lu Youxi said with a smile, "Actually, Aunt Lin, even if you didn’t call me, I was planning to ring you up."

Aunt Lin was taken aback, "Oh? Why’s that?"

"I’ve sent you, Aunt Liu, and the village chief some dried fruits and candied snacks from the Imperial Capital, along with something called ’Little Potato’. I found it delicious and wanted you all to try as well. Considering Grandma Xu’s old age and that it’s not good for her to eat too much sweet stuff, I sent some extra ’Little Potatoes’ and some preventative health medicine. I’ll have to trouble you to distribute them; I’ve divided everything clearly and sent it to your place."

"And yes, isn’t the village chief’s son starting high school this year? And Aunt Liu’s daughter is in middle school now, I remember they’re beginning to learn English, right? So, I’ve sent three repeaters along with three sets of English conversation tapes from the Imperial Capital. Two sets are suited for middle school students, and the other set is for the village chief’s son, which is suitable for high school students."

"I reckon that, when it comes to grammar, the teachers in our town’s school actually do a decent job. After all, grammar is just a set of rules to memorize. But the pronunciation from our town’s teachers really is an issue. After coming to Jing University, I’ve noticed that even though not all the city kids get their pronunciation right, even the average ones speak better than our town’s students."

"So, I sent the tapes over for practising spoken English, hoping it could be of some help."

"Goodness!" Aunt Lin was so moved she didn’t know what to say, "Why would you... why would you go to all that expense! Sending some snacks or even tapes is one thing, but why send repeaters? Those are so expensive!"

"That’s nothing," Lu Youxi said with a chuckle, "you and Uncle Village Chief have helped me so much; what I’m doing is hardly noteworthy. Didn’t the village chief say that he wanted me to help enrich the village? I don’t have the power to make our whole village wealthy just yet, but if I can help our village’s kids to get more college students, that’s something too! Of course, it wouldn’t be solely because of the little I’ve provided if they get into college; I’m just contributing what little I can. If they need any practice materials or anything, just let me know, and I’ll buy it here in the Imperial Capital and send it back."

"What... what am I supposed to say to that! We haven’t done much; even for me... all I did was make a few phone calls to you." Aunt Lin was at a loss.

What Lu Youxi had given was far too generous.

Repeaters were valuable items in those days.

Let alone in Xing Village.

You’d struggle to find such good items even in the town.

They had them there, but with little choice, just one or two knock-off brands that didn’t look reliable at all.

If you want quality, you’d have to venture to the city. If not, you’d have to settle for one of the town’s knock-offs.

The ones Lu Youxi bought in the Imperial Capital were surely trustworthy brands.

"What do you mean you haven’t done much?" Lu Youxi somewhat raised her voice discontentedly, "Back when I was in Xing Village, had it not been for you and Aunt Liu watching over me and summoning the village chief the moment anything happened, would things have been so smooth for me? And as for Uncle Village Chief, he’s always been fair and just, never muddled things up just because my grandparents threw their weight around due to old age. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today."

"Whenever there’s an issue at home, you inform me right away, never letting me be at a disadvantage," Lu Youxi went on, "Here in the Imperial Capital, I’m clueless about many things happening back in our village. Being able to guard against being taken advantage of by my grandparents and my aunt—it’s all thanks to you. And you still say you haven’t done much?"

Aunt Lin still felt what Lu Youxi gave was too valuable.

So Lu Youxi said, "Well, how about you cook me some tasty dishes when I return to Xing Village?"

"Are you coming back?" Aunt Lin was surprised.

She thought Lu Youxi wouldn’t return.

Her family had all moved to the Imperial Capital; Lu Youxi had no reason to go back to Xing Village.

"My grandpa had a stroke, right? Once my dad knows, he’s definitely going to go back. I don’t feel comfortable with him going alone," Lu Youxi explained.

Aunt Lin sighed. To expect Lu Zhenguo to completely ignore the Lu Family’s elders was indeed unrealistic.

But that way, it indeed was a burden on Lu Youxi.

"Alright, when you come back, I’ll make you plenty of delicious food!" Aunt Lin quickly said.

Lu Youbang had just encountered Lu Youxi and, after calling out to her and then not speaking, had straight up left the school.

He then took the subway to "Hope Internet Cafe," which Lu Youxi owned.

As for the name "Hope," Lu Youxi chose it for its homophonic resemblance to "Hope."

Harbouring hope at all times, there’s always hope.

When Lu Youbang reached the entrance to the Internet Cafe, he hesitated for a few moments, then was spotted by Lu Zhenguo.

"Youbang?" Lu Zhenguo exclaimed in surprise, "Are you here to use the Internet?"

Lu Youbang gave a sheepish look, shaking his head as he said, "No, Uncle, I’m here to see you."

Lu Zhenguo was puzzled, "Then why don’t you come in?"

Lu Youbang appeared embarrassed, and Lu Zhenguo, thinking it was because of the fallout with Lu Youxi, felt awkward about going inside, so he came out.

"What’s the matter? Why are you looking for me?" asked Lu Zhenguo, feeling a bit wary inside.

Could Lu Youbang be here to ask for money?

Back then, if Lu Zhenguo made money, he would give some to Lu Youbang.

But now, the money he had was given by Lu Youxi, even though she claimed it was his salary.

Yet Lu Zhenguo knew that the salary Lu Youxi set was much higher than average.

It was essentially taking care of him.

How could Lu Zhenguo have the heart to give Lu Youxi’s money to Lu Youbang?

Moreover, Lu Zhenguo had his suspicions.

Look at how short a time Lu Youxi had been in the Imperial Capital?

She was just a freshman in college, yet she had already opened an Internet Cafe.

And it was thriving.

Lu Youbang had been there for over a year, and while it wasn’t expected for him to make money like Lu Youxi, shouldn’t he at least be self-sufficient by now?
