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

Yingzhai.

Ying Yuchuan hung up the phone.

The room was quiet, so quiet that he wasn't used to it at all.

He looked around the room, which was empty and deserted, devoid of any human presence.

She wasn't there either.

Without her voice, it feels like something as important as life is missing.

He had just gone to see his grandmother, but she was furious and told him to leave after only a few words.

She accused him of siding with them and not even helping his own grandmother.

help?

How can I help?

He Ying Yuchuan was not the kind of person who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

His grandmother already harbored serious prejudices against the Lu siblings, and this whole fuss was an overreaction; she was just venting her resentment towards them.

How could he not see it?

It's just a vase, why make such a scene?

In the past, she would just smile and move on.

Furthermore, how could he possibly stand on her side when she insulted the self-esteem of an eighteen-year-old boy like that?

Moving out to live alone is the best solution.

"Big brother..."

Unable to sleep, Ying Sangrou went to his window again. Seeing him standing silently by the window, she asked with a worried look, "Isn't sister-in-law coming back tonight? Isn't she coming back when Luming arrives?"

"Well, they'll be staying out tonight; it wouldn't be good to force them to come back."

Ying Yuchuan gently urged her, "Go to sleep, it's alright, your older brother is here."

Upon hearing the news that they wouldn't be returning, she lowered her head, her face gloomy, and clenched her fists at her sides. "Big brother, Lu Mingshi was truly a very, very good person."

"Yes, I know."

"Please make sure they go home tomorrow, okay? This is their home, isn't it?"

With them around, there's laughter, there's noise, there's life.

"……Um."

He hesitated somewhat when he answered that question.

I couldn't give her a definite answer either.

Ying Sangrou left.

Ying Yuchuan stood by the window and made a profound discovery.

It turns out that when you get used to someone being around, and then she's not there, the feeling is really... lonely.

He slowly raised his head, his dark eyes gazing quietly at the bright yellow moon in the sky.

It looks quite like a roasted chicken leg...

An argument also broke out in Grandpa Ying's room.

He tried to reason with his wife, but unexpectedly, the two started arguing.

"It's just a vase, why did you say such things to a child?"

Grandpa Ying was away at the time and did not return. When he came back, he learned the whole story from Old Ye, as well as how Lu Mingshi, that blond-haired kid, had left the Ying family in anger.

"It's broken, it's broken, I'll buy you a new one..."

"So what if I can't stand them?"

Old Madam Ying couldn't stand his attitude. "Ying Jishu, I'm your wife. Instead of standing up for me, you're speaking up for that blond-haired brat. What do you mean by that?"

"I'm not taking sides; I'm standing on the side of reason."

Faced with her stubbornness and refusal to listen to reason, Grandpa Ying sighed.

"Why won't you listen? Stop constantly calling them 'country people, country people.' Can't you try to see their good points from another perspective? They're both clearly very good kids. Don't stubbornly use your old ways to judge them. You just have to make things..."

"What happened? Ying Jishu, you'd better explain clearly, how did I do it?"

The old lady retorted angrily, "Think about what you said before, and now you're saying things like this again? Oh? So it's all my fault?"

Old Master Ying also got angry, "The past is the past. Haven't I corrected it now?"

"Oh, so you're acting all high and mighty, huh?"

"You, you..."

Grandpa Ying was so angry that he stormed out of the room.

That night, the atmosphere in the Ying family became very strange because of Lu Mingshi and Madam Ying's affair.

---

That night, the two siblings slept in the rented, dilapidated bungalow.

Because there was no bed, one person slept on the sofa, and the other slept on the floor.

In the morning, Lu Mingshi, in a good mood, strolled off to school with the two hundred yuan pocket money given to him by his older sister.

Soon after, Lu Luozhi also went out.

Huang Maozi was scolded so badly, she couldn't just pretend nothing happened. She would let that old woman know that she and her siblings, Lu Luozhi and her brother, were not so easy to bully.

She will definitely get justice for Lu Mingshi!

……

Ying Sangrou arrived at school earlier than usual today.

When she entered the classroom, none of her classmates were there.

Sitting in her seat, she stared at the classroom door, waiting and hoping. Most of her classmates had arrived, but she still hadn't seen Lu Mingshi appear.

Could it be that he's not coming to school anymore?

Thinking about this, she felt a little flustered.

But the next second she told herself, it's impossible.

The deer will surely come when they cry out.

Because his sister-in-law called Lao Ye and asked him to bring Lu Mingshi's schoolbag to her so she could take it back to school.

Therefore, he will definitely come to class!

Ying Sangrou nodded firmly.

When almost all the students had arrived and class was about to begin, Lu Mingshi finally appeared, much to her delight.

He seemed listless, but didn't appear to be in a bad mood.

Ying Sangrou looked at him timidly, "Lu, classmate Lu..."

Lu Mingshi didn't seem to want to pay attention to her, and his reaction was indifferent: "What?"

"Yesterday, yesterday..."

"bag."

He didn't bother listening to her and simply reached out his hand to her.

Ying Sangrou hurriedly grabbed his schoolbag, which she had carefully placed aside.

"Have you had breakfast?"

She frantically pulled open her schoolbag, "Here you are, I brought you your favorite char siu buns..."

"I'm not hungry, I've already had breakfast."

After Lu Mingshi took the schoolbag, he didn't even glance at it before taking out the textbooks he needed for class.

"Oh……"

His reaction greatly disappointed Ying Sangrou.

She looked at him with a gloomy expression, but he ignored her and didn't even look up.

Feeling utterly disappointed, Ying Sangrou turned away, her heart aching at his neglect.

He wasn't like this before.

Was it because his grandmother's words hurt him so much that he started to dislike her as well?

Thinking about this, negative emotions began to creep over her.

She couldn't concentrate on class; her mind was completely on Lu Mingshi behind her, and she would steal glances at him from time to time.

However, he treated her like she was invisible.

Even when he discovered she was spying on him, he didn't react at all.

Lost in thought, Ying Sangrou looked away and felt a pang of disappointment. He really did hate her.
