Chapter 226: Chapter 226: No More Than 3 Pieces

"They’ve moved gramps out of his original master bedroom and set him up in the storeroom. The storeroom still contains other items, so they just cleared a spot for a single bed for gramps to lie on."

"And the reason gramps had a stroke, from what I gathered from their arguments, was because he was too happy."

"What?" Liu Yushu was truly enlightened this time, "How can someone get a stroke from being too happy?"

Lu Youxi chuckled coldly, saying, "Granny was just fantasizing about coming to the Imperial Capital, holding sway over us, making us take care of them, buying them new clothes, dining out every day with lavish meals, giving them money to spend. They were dreaming so beautifully about it, gramps even laughed in his sleep all night. It was that laughter that left him paralyzed on one side come morning."

This was something Aunt Lin found out later and hurriedly called Lu Youxi a second time to tell her.

Hearing how much Lu Youxi had sent them, Aunt Lin always felt undeserving.

So she started to inquire even more vigorously in the village.

And indeed, she managed to pry this matter out and hurried to tell Lu Youxi, enabling her to get ahead of the situation.

"They! They! They are utterly shameless!" Liu Yushu, trembling with anger, couldn’t eat another bite.

According to Liu Yushu, Old Master Lu deserved the stroke!

Truly a pair up to no good!

"How did they know where our internet café is? And how did they know where we lived?" Liu Yushu quickly asked.

"Didn’t we have a lot of students coming over to use the internet from our school? They knew the cybercafé was mine, and with so many people knowing, it naturally spread at school. Lu Youbang saw you at the café, then saw you enter the compound, so he knew. Then he called home to tell gramps and granny, instigating them to come here asking for money."

"That asshole!" Liu Yushu cursed, then hurriedly held her tongue, glancing at Lu Youxue, instructing, "Don’t learn to curse."

Lu Youxue puffed up his cheeks as he ate, quickly shaking his head at her words.

Lu Zhenguo suddenly realized; no wonder Lu Youbang had offered additional explanations when he came looking for him that afternoon—it wasn’t meant to be tracking.

Even though he hadn’t asked anything nor suspected anything, Lu Youbang had taken the initiative to explain.

It appeared he had done this before; the guilt was in his conscience.

Lu Zhenguo didn’t doubt Lu Youxi’s words because everything she said matched up with Lu Youbang’s unusual behavior that afternoon.

Without Lu Youxi’s account, Lu Zhenguo wouldn’t have suspected Lu Youbang’s words; it would have just seemed somewhat baffling.

But matched up with Lu Youxi’s story, Lu Youbang’s somewhat disjointed words suddenly had a reasonable explanation.

"Lu Zhenguo." Liu Yushu suddenly called out, "In our families, none of the people are simple. My own family—parents and siblings—are no good either. That’s why I cut contact with them after getting married, and after coming to the Imperial Capital with Youxi, I completely broke off contact. I told myself, no matter what happens to them, I won’t interfere."

"Our family has issues, Youxi has issues, have your parents ever helped? They didn’t even want Youxi to attend college! Now your dad has had a stroke, and while your mom has money, she refuses to give it and still comes to ask you for money. Lu Youbang is really playing a clever game!" Liu Yushu coldly said, "Lu Zhenguo, nobody should be bullied like this!"

But Lu Youxi had her own plans, and couldn’t let them have the opportunity to manipulate her.

Thus, Lu Youxi would have to go back anyway, letting them have their own dogfight.

Lu Youxi wore a solemn expression, saying, "Dad, this time I can help, and it’s for you. I don’t want you to feel troubled. But I must also say, mom is right—we can’t keep doing this over and over."

"I’m putting my foot down, if granny has money then let her not use it this time. I’ll provide. But this absolutely is the last time," Lu Youxi stated, "If anything happens in the future, just consider me unfilial. My capabilities are only so much, and frankly, they’re just not enough to satisfy their appetites."

"According to their thoughts, they won’t be satisfied until they have drained me dry."

"You don’t have to give money, none of us have to give money," Lu Zhenguo, embarrassed by what Lu Youxi and Liu Yushu had said, expressed, "I... just want to go back and see."

"Aunt Lin said that they’ve moved gramps to the storeroom. No matter what, he’s a patient, we can’t let him stay in such a place." Lu Zhenguo said, "Right now, Zhenjia is not at home, and there is no man in charge of the household. So I have to go back and take charge. At least to get them to move gramps back to the bedroom."

"That’s fine," Lu Youxi nodded, "Then I’ll go back with you."

"Mom, you don’t have to come back. The internet café still needs you. I can ask Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi to help you move," Lu Youxi said.

"It’s not necessary; they can’t leave either," Liu Yushu said, "I can bring it down myself. Actually, it’s not much; it’s just that your dad usually sees me tired from cooking and comes to help me."

Liu Yushu had just finished scolding Lu Zhenguo and couldn’t help but start praising him now.

"Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi still need to watch over the café; they really can’t go," Liu Yushu said.

"They are mostly there; if they both are, just ask one to help you," Lu Youxi said.

Liu Yushu nodded, this could work.

"Dad, can we go back on Saturday?" Lu Youxi asked Lu Zhenguo’s opinion, "I’m off that day; I won’t have classes."

"Okay," Lu Zhenguo nodded.

Given Old Master Lu’s condition, even if he were anxious to return, it wouldn’t really help.

Having made these plans, the next day, Lu Youxi secretly went to the bank and opened a new bank account, depositing only three yuan for a quarterly management fee.

She just couldn’t afford any more than that; the PIN was set as Old Master Lu’s birthday.

Lu Youxi didn’t deliberately remember Old Master Lu’s birthday, but it was the most significant day in the Lu family each year, next to New Year’s Eve.

With lavish meals prepared on Old Master Lu’s birthday every year, how could Lu Youxi possibly forget?

On the train ride back, Lu Youxi thought it over and sent Zhou Shuyan a text message, informing him that she would be returning to Hexing Village on Saturday.

It would prevent Zhou Shuyan from being uninformed about her whereabouts, going to her place, and possibly arousing Liu Yushu’s suspicion.

As a couple, to be unaware of each other’s whereabouts—

Shortly after she sent the message, Zhou Shuyan’s call came through directly.

Lu Youxi answered, and before she could ask, she heard Zhou Shuyan say, "Is there some trouble over at Hexing Village?"

Lu Youxi was taken aback, not yet having asked when Zhou Shuyan took the initiative to explain, "Otherwise, even if returning there, it wouldn’t have to be now; it’s too rushed."

Lu Youxi explained the situation with Old Master Lu.
