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

"Hahaha……"

She couldn't stop laughing and burst into laughter.

"...Ying Yuchuan, look at your face, it's hilarious..."

"You're so cute, hahaha..."

He wiped his face with his hand, but ended up with a face full of black ash.

"Is it funny?"

"It's really funny, you can't even start a fire."

"..."

When she pointed out the problem directly, Ying Yuchuan, who always thought he was omnipotent, felt a little frustrated.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know how."

It's better to admit it honestly than to continue making a fool of yourself.

Lu Luozhi finally managed to stop laughing.

"It's alright, it would be strange if a young master like you knew that."

"Sis, what are you doing squatting outside?"

Lu Mingshi brought back a large bunch of sweet potatoes still attached to the vines, and also picked a branch full of unidentified wild fruits.

He saw the thick smoke filling the room and exclaimed, "Holy crap, is it on fire?"

"Sis, hurry up and put out the fire! If the house burns down, we'll really have to sleep under the trees."

He was so anxious he was jumping up and down.

This time, Lu Luozhi, who had finally managed to suppress her laughter, burst into laughter again because of his words.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that he was about to rush in, Lu Luozhi quickly grabbed him.

"Wait, it's not a fire, it's just that the fire in the stove isn't burning. Someone's been stuffing wood in, but it won't light."

Lu Ming, oblivious to everything else, blurted out, "Who can't even start a fire...?"

and many more.

When he realized that of the three people here, the only one who didn't know how to start a fire was...

His gaze fell on Ying Yuchuan's face.

His face was covered in black.

He stared at me expressionlessly.

His eyes darted around for a moment, and then he blurted out, "Ah, the sun is shining so brightly today."

Lu Luozhi almost died laughing at his reaction.

Lu Mingshi then asked, "Um, sis, will we still be able to have lunch?"

"Smile, why aren't you smiling?"

Ying Yuchuan spoke coldly.

Lu Mingshi coughed lightly, "...There's nothing funny about it."

"Besides, I'm not naturally inclined to smile."

Judging from his eyes and expression, would he dare to laugh?

I wouldn't dare, not even a little bit.

His aura is terrifying.

Ying Yuchuan snorted.

Listen to the nonsense he's spouting; he's never been one to smile.

"Luozhi."

Just then, the plump-looking Granny Zhang walked into the courtyard, saw the siblings under the eaves, and called out:

"I heard from Aunt Liu that you were back, so I rushed over to see you. I thought she was lying to us, but I didn't expect you to really be back."

"Here, I picked some corn from the field for you to eat."

Aunt Zhang put the six fresh ears of corn she was holding on the ground and stared at Ying Yuchuan with curiosity.

Lu Luozhi quickly stepped in front of him, "Oh, thank you so much, Aunt Zhang. Why are you being so polite? It wasn't easy for you to grow this corn. You can keep it for yourself."

Aunt Zhang's mind wasn't on the corn; she curiously looked Ying Yuchuan up and down. "Zhi'er, is this really your husband?"

"My sixth aunt kept saying it, but I didn't believe her, so I came to see for myself. You've only been gone a few months, how come you've already brought your husband back?"

"Yes, yes, that's my husband."

Lu Luozhi said without changing her expression, "He only earns five thousand yuan a month, and he has many children at home. I thought, it doesn't matter who I marry, he's tall and thin, so it would be good for me to bring him back to help with some farm work."

Aunt Zhang nodded. "It's good that you think this way. It's not bad to find a man to marry. It will save you and your siblings from having no one to help you if anything happens. Now your grandmother will know this in the afterlife and won't have to worry about you anymore."

"Alright, I'm going back now. I just came over to check out the husband you chose for your grandma."

Aunt Zhang waved her hand, not asking any further questions, "Why don't you bring your husband to my house for dinner another day? I'll kill a chicken to treat you."

Aunt Zhang and Grandma Lu were good friends. Aunt Zhang had helped a lot with the funeral arrangements and had always been very kind to the Lu siblings.

"Alright, Aunt Zhang, take care."

Lu Luozhi watched her leave with a smile.

There are good and bad people in the village, but Aunt Zhang's family is very kind. They usually bring over plenty of vegetables and meat when they have them.

I know she was genuinely worried about me, but she had her reasons for choosing to keep it a secret, and I hope she can understand.

As she walked, Aunt Zhang muttered to herself, "This person just picked an ugly man who's dark-skinned..."

The thick smoke inside the house has mostly dissipated.

Lu Luozhi picked up the corn, beaming, and said, "Come on, Huang Maozi, go start the fire."

The three people were in the front and back rooms.

Arriving at the earthen stove again, Ying Yuchuan stubbornly sat on the stool in front of it, "I'll try again."

He refused to believe that someone who could manage such a large company couldn't even light a fire.

Lu Luozhi and her brother exchanged glances.

Smirking.

Okay, let's give it a try.

They don't have much else, but they have plenty of firewood.

Who would have thought that a wealthy young master and company president would personally start a fire in the countryside?

---

"Sang Rou, Mom is coming in."

On the third floor of the villa, Sheng Shuang carried a bowl of wontons and pushed open the door to her daughter's room.

She didn't eat dinner, saying she had no appetite, so she had to cook for her herself, chopping meat and making fillings, and making her favorite wontons.

She found her troubled daughter by the bedside.

She sat on the ground with her knees bent, her arms wrapped around herself, her face buried in her knees, and she looked a little upset.

"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

She placed the bowl of wontons she was holding on the desk to the side, squatted down in front of her, and asked her gently.

"Are you too tired from studying?"

"mom."

She lifted her listless face and asked, genuinely puzzled, "Why didn't my sister-in-law and the others tell us they left?"

She couldn't understand why her sister-in-law and the others had left like that. Were they not good enough?

When the deer cry out, they say goodbye, but when is that goodbye?

Why would you leave when everything is fine?

So this is what it feels like to part ways.

She was so upset that she had no way to relieve it.

She misses them so much.

It was indeed because of this matter.

Sheng Shuang sighed inwardly.

She sat down beside her. "You care a lot about your sister-in-law and her family?"

"..."

She pursed her lips, her eyes beginning to redden. "I... I really like them. Being with them, laughing and talking, makes me so happy. Before, when I was at home, I was so lonely. There was no one to laugh and talk with..."

Some people, once you've spent time with them, you can never leave them.

She really liked the vibrant life force that her sisters-in-law and the others possessed.

I also really like their smiles.

"Alright, alright, look at you, you're even crying now."

Sheng Shuang wiped away her tears and didn't hide anything from her, "Your older brother called me and said he found them. They went back to their rural home in the countryside. It's been 100 days since your sister-in-law's grandmother passed away, and they wanted to go back to pay their respects."

Upon hearing this, Ying Sangrou became excited again, "Brother found them? When can they come back? Mom, will sister-in-law and the others come back?"

So she can see Lu Mingshi again, right?

Sheng Shuang shook her head, "Your older brother didn't say when he'll be back."

She lowered her head again, her face downcast. "Didn't they say?"

But she really missed them.

In the middle of the night, Ying Sangrou couldn't sleep and hid under the covers, staring blankly at the photos on her phone.

It was a photo of her and her siblings, Lu Luozhi and Lu Luozhi, in front of a sausage stand.

As she gazed at the scene, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

Could she also go and find them?

……

Ying Yuchuan: Do not disturb, I'm starting a fire.
