Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Lu Youxi Assists from the Side
"Before we had no money, but now that we have money, we can definitely cure Dad’s illness!" Ge Guifen assured.
Lu Zhenguo simply thought they were reluctant to spend their own money on Old Master Lu’s medical treatment and never imagined they would refuse treatment for Old Master Lu even after taking money from Lu Youxi. So, he didn’t suspect and believed what Old Madam Lu and Ge Guifen said.
Lu Youxi knew exactly what Old Madam Lu and Ge Guifen were plotting.
Only at times like this could this mother and daughter-in-law cooperate so seamlessly.
Lu Youxi provided support from the side, "Since it’s like this, Dad, why don’t we go back today?"
They couldn’t interfere with Old Madam Lu and Ge Guifen’s performance.
"It just so happens that Shuyan has a client to meet tomorrow. I’m afraid it will be too late if we go back tomorrow," Lu Youxi said.
Zhou Shuyan didn’t know what Lu Youxi was up to, but since they could return earlier, meeting Lai Zhonglin tomorrow seemed more prudent.
However, he was surprised. How did Lu Youxi know he had a client to meet?
He hadn’t mentioned it.
Zhou Shuyan held back a series of questions, planning to secretly ask Lu Youxi later.
When Old Master Lu heard what Lu Youxi said, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in anxiety.
"Uh-uh-uh!" Don’t go, you can’t leave!
"Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh!" If you’re leaving, take me with you!
Even if they understood, Lu Youxi couldn’t agree.
Lu Zhenguo was genuinely surprised when Lu Youxi directly took out fifty thousand yuan.
Regarding the internet café’s operations, Lu Zhenguo was aware daily.
Although it was doing well, it hadn’t broken even yet.
Even for Lu Youxi, fifty thousand yuan was the limit she could manage.
Lu Youxi truly wasn’t wealthy now.
Therefore, Lu Zhenguo was even more moved, ready to agree to whatever Lu Youxi suggested at the moment.
Besides, he really couldn’t stay here much longer.
There was work waiting for him in the Imperial Capital.
Lu Youxi had already done enough, and this was all for his sake!
Lu Zhenguo was deeply moved, nodding at Lu Youxi, "Alright, let’s hurry back then. Don’t delay your and Xiao Zhou’s work."
He had seen Old Master Lu and even taken the money.
He had done everything he could; Lu Zhenguo felt staying longer was pointless.
Besides, Ge Guifen was there to take care of Old Master Lu.
It wouldn’t make sense if he, who collected the money, had to remain and take care of the man too.
Living away from here, it wasn’t convenient for him to care for Old Master Lu.
Moreover, it wasn’t appropriate for Lu Zhenguo to stay here while Lu Zhenjia was in jail, living with his sister-in-law.
No matter how he thought about it, he wasn’t suitable to stay.
Both Ge Guifen and Old Madam Lu sighed in relief.
Since the money was secured, they were eager to send Lu Zhenguo away.
Only Old Master Lu was desperately calling "Uh-uh," wanting Lu Zhenguo to take him along.
But Lu Zhenguo didn’t understand Old Master Lu’s words.
"Father, since we’re rarely back, let’s visit Grandma Xu, Uncle Village Chief, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Lin before we leave," Lu Youxi added, reminding, "They have always been helping us. And with us not here, Grandpa and Grandma have relied on their help."
"You’re right," Lu Zhenguo nodded in agreement and even complimented, "You’re very thoughtful."
Old Madam Lu scoffed, disagreeing with Lu Youxi’s words, "What help did they provide?"
Lu Youxi coldly said, "If it weren’t for Uncle Village Chief, how could you have taken Grandpa to the town hospital?"
Lu Zhenguo sighed.
Old Madam Lu was really... How could she be so ungrateful?
Not to mention earlier instances, just recently, the village chief personally took Old Master Lu to the hospital using his tricycle, and Aunt Lin informed Lu Youxi about Old Master Lu’s illness.
Old Madam Lu, quick to forget favors and disown benefactors, truly disheartened people.
Lu Zhenguo didn’t want to listen to them any longer.
So, he called Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan to leave and made a stop at the village chief’s home first.
Lu Youxi took out gifts specially bought from the Imperial Capital for the village chief, all beneficial for his son’s studies.
The village chief felt warmly appreciative, regardless of the value of the gifts Lu Youxi brought; remembering him every time she returned and even sending items from the Imperial Capital mattered.
Moreover, these weren’t gifts that just aimed to please superficially; they had genuine helpfulness, gifts that touched the heart.
This made the village chief feel obligated to shield Lu Youxi from troubles, willingly so.
"Didn’t you tell Aunt Lin that you had already shipped many items?" The village chief, although happy, felt worried for Lu Youxi not to overextend herself. "Why did you bring so much more?"
"I checked, and the parcels are on their way, should arrive tomorrow. However, it’s not easy for me to come back, so since I’m here, I brought whatever I could," said Lu Youxi, smiling. "These are things I thought you might need, which I decided to buy and bring back at the last moment."
"Are these all exercise books?" The village chief saw the thick stack of workbooks placed on the table and was elated.
Lu Youxi nodded, "I asked my classmates, which problems they had practiced to prepare for the college entrance exams. They’re not like me; they attended top local high schools with high college placement rates and experienced teachers who knew which exercises were most beneficial. Based on what they mentioned, I bought some more to bring back for Yanshun. I remember he’s better at sciences, planning to go into the science stream next year, right? So, besides literature and math, I also bought some comprehensive science exercises."
Yanshun, the village chief’s son currently in high school.
"Great, great," the village chief was so pleased he could almost see the university acceptance letter beckoning to Yanshun.
Since today was Saturday, Yanshun was also at home.
Seeing the tall stack of workbooks, Yanshun’s mood soured.
"But isn’t this too much?" Yanshun complained, frowning.
"What’s too much! Go to your school and ask, see if your classmates have done these?" the village chief scarcely kept his patience, "They probably have never even seen these. If you do these problems, you’ll be far ahead of your classmates. Let them know, and see how envious they’ll be. Don’t be ungrateful!"
"Let me tell you, get started quickly, finish them as soon as possible!" commanded the village chief. "I’m not asking for you to get into Jing University; just getting into any university would be fine."
Lu Youxi smiled, "Study hard now, and you’ll relax once you get to university. Look at me; don’t I still have time to come back?"
Yanshun pondered, "Is it really more relaxed in university?"
Lu Youxi thought to herself that it wasn’t if you wanted to improve yourself, you could never relax.
But for now, it was better to give Yanshun some hope. "Yes, there’s no homework in university, and studying depends entirely on self-discipline. If you want to perform better, you work hard yourself; if you just want to pass, you can relax even more. So, study hard for these three years, and good days await you in university."
