Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Ying family.

"Big brother..."

He waited by the main house door, but instead of his sister-in-law returning with Lu Ming, he saw his elder brother instead.

A layer of mist welled up in Ying Sangrou's eyes again.

Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying non-stop.

"What exactly happened?"

Upon receiving the call from Lao Ye, Ying Yuchuan, who was at the company, hurriedly rushed home.

Ying Sangrou wiped away her tears, unable to calm herself down for a while.

It was Old Ye who spoke up and explained the whole story to him.

After all, he was present at the scene and witnessed the course and development of the event.

Actually, Young Master Lu didn't do it on purpose.

At that time, Madam Ying was holding that vase and suddenly decided to change some flowers to put in it. Just then, Young Master Lu came in. Neither of them noticed, and they bumped into each other on the edge of the living room.

The vase in the old lady's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

After learning the whole story, Ying Yuchuan immediately called Lu Luozhi.

She didn't answer.

Ying Sangrou sobbed as she told him, "When my sister-in-law was looking for Lu Ming outside, I called her several times, but she didn't answer."

Ying Yuchuan sent a message to Lu Luozhi on WeChat, asking where she was now.

After sending the message, he asked again, "Where's Grandma?"

Old Ye: "The old lady is in her room now, and the old man is trying to coax her. The old lady is so angry that she didn't eat dinner."

Ying Yuchuan nodded, then stepped inside, intending to go find his grandmother.

Like Grandpa, Grandma was troubled by the fact that she and her brother came from the countryside and were not good enough for Ying Yuchuan.

Grandma has always been somewhat arrogant towards the siblings, but this time she went even further, saying such hurtful things.

He was right when Lu Ming cried out; he could even understand Lu Ming's feelings at that time.

Living under someone else's roof is a very painful phrase.

But he only has his sister left, so where else can he go?

---

When Lu Luozhi saw the light on in the bungalow, she knew that Lu Mingshi, the little yellow duck, must have come here.

The anxiety of not being able to find him eased somewhat when they saw the lights on in the room.

Pushing open the door, she saw the yellow-haired duckling that had kept her searching for an hour or two lying on the tattered sofa, one arm raised to cover its eyes.

She seems to have fallen asleep from sadness.

A thin body, a thin person, like a bamboo pole.

There wasn't even a blanket to cover themselves with to keep warm.

They're so pitiful.

Lu Luozhi felt a pang of sadness as she watched. She took off her coat and draped it over him.

"I'm not cold."

As the jacket fell onto the blond-haired boy's shoulders, he spoke, his voice faint and devoid of emotion.

Lu Luozhi clicked her tongue, but still draped her coat over him.

I think you're cold.

She sat down on the sofa and asked him with a smile, "My dear blond-haired little brother, want to go get some pizza?"

She didn't ask what had just happened, nor how he was feeling, and she wouldn't blame him for a single word.

She's his sister, and she stands by his side unconditionally.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingshi immediately lowered the arm that was covering his eyes.

"real?"

He was initially pessimistic, but his eyes lit up at the mention of pizza, and his thin face couldn't hide his joy.

"Really, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."

Lu Luozhi ruffled his blond hair. "And then, I'll buy you a cell phone, and those basketball shoes you like. I'll buy you anything you like, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingshi gasped, staring at her in disbelief. "Sister, you, you, did you rob a bank?"

Rolling her eyes, she slapped him on the head. "You're the one who robs a bank! How could I do something so illegal?"

She then explained, "My brother-in-law gave me a card, the kind I can use as I please. He has money, so why not spend it? Why save him money, right?"

When Lu Ming heard Ying Yuchuan's voice, his expression dimmed, and he slowly sat up.

"You knew all along, didn't you?"

His tone was somewhat sullen.

"Sister, if this marriage makes you unhappy, let's leave, okay?"

He looked at her seriously.

"Even though we live in the countryside, it's still our home, isn't it? It's better than now..."

"When the deer cry out."

Lu Luozhi interrupted him before he could finish speaking. Her expression was serious. "Before Grandma passed away, she told us not to be stubborn and to strive for success. Do you remember? I went to great lengths to get Ying Yuchuan to get you into such a good high school. Do you really want to give up like this?"

"Don't retreat into your shell at the slightest sign of trouble."

"But……"

Lu Mingshi looked hurt. "I feel sorry for you. It's one thing for them to look down on me, but they look down on you too. So what if we're from the countryside? Aren't people from the countryside human?"

Yes.

He didn't care.

He was just feeling sorry for his sister; why did she have to end up in such a humiliating situation?

He just ran away from the Ying family's house, and he really didn't know where he could go.

Then he remembered that they also had a rented bungalow for storing things.

Although this place is rented, it's still his place of refuge in this city.

At least here no one will look down on him, and no one will kick him out at the drop of a hat.

This is their own little world.

So he came here, and not long after he lay down, his older sister came looking for him.

She really is his older sister who loves him the most.

She will always, always find him the moment he arrives.

His head rested casually on her shoulder, and the boy's face showed deep confusion and bewilderment.

"Sister, tell me, we haven't killed anyone or set any fires, so why is God treating us like this? Why don't we have a father and mother, or grandparents? Why is it so hard for us to live?"
