Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Family Visiting from the Mother’s Side

"Although I’m young, I understand things! Just like how Dad likes Mom. As soon as Mom appears, he keeps stealing glances at her." Lu Chen patted his chest, as if to say that just because he’s young, doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand. He and his brother are not blind and can see their father’s feelings for their mother.

His eyes never wandered away from Mom and onto him or his brother; they were only on her.

"I’m not like Lin Xue." Wang Lu was stumped by Lu Chen’s question, unsure of how to explain it to him.

"What’s different? Aren’t you just like my dad, liking Lin Xue? Aunt Qiu came over and said that after she marries Uncle Fu, she’ll arrange for Lin Xue to have blind dates, and by then Lin Xue will be someone else’s wife, right?" Lu Chen’s eyes darted around mischievously. Fu Xiaoxiao would know this little guy was spinning tales again if she heard him.

Upon hearing Lin Xue might become someone else’s wife, Wang Lu felt extremely resistant, not wanting to hear anything related to the matter.

"If you don’t want Lin Xue, surely someone else will want her. Lin Xue has such a soft personality, who knows if she’ll be bullied like Aunt Chen Xiu next door? It’s really worrying!" Lu Chen looked concerned, his sighing and shaking head painted a picture that made Wang Lu imagine Lin Xue being bullied after marriage.

Wang Lu clenched his fists in anger. "Anyone who dares bully her, I definitely won’t let it slide."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Why are you shaking your head?" Wang Lu watched Lu Chen’s small yet clever act of shaking his head and asked, wondering.

"You’re not anyone to Lin Xue, how can you manage that? By then, you might marry someone else too?" Lu Chen looked at Wang Lu, acting like a seasoned expert.

Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng stood at the kitchen door, listening to Lu Chen’s words. Fu Xiaoxiao turned to glance at Lu Feng.

Did you teach him?

Not me.

Lu Feng quickly shook his head, not wanting to be blamed.

"Little brat, by then he’ll just be staring, what else can he do?" Fu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and knocked on Lu Chen’s forehead gently with amusement.

"Sis-in-law..." Wang Lu saw Fu Xiaoxiao and hesitated to speak.

"Xiao Lu, it’s okay, marriage is a matter between two people, you want to marry her but she hasn’t said she wants to marry you yet! There’s nothing concrete here, don’t listen to this kid trying to scare you. I’ll definitely help Lin Xue choose wisely, with so many male comrades in the army, there’s surely someone good for her." Fu Xiaoxiao’s words were like a sharp knife, stabbing right into Wang Lu’s heart.

Lu Feng gave Fu Xiaoxiao a look. That stab was harder than Lu Chen’s.

It’s indeed taught by her.

Wang Lu felt deflated by Fu Xiaoxiao’s comments.

Even the meat dish he usually loved tasted bland, his mind a mess unsure of what to do.

Fu Xiaoxiao picked some food for Lu Chen and gently pinched his little cheek.

Lu Feng picked some food for Fu Xiaoxiao, smiling as he threw in another comment. "Right there in the neighboring squad there’s someone I think is quite good."

"Lu Tuan." Wang Lu didn’t expect even Lu Feng to say such a thing, feeling his world was crumbling.

"Why? You don’t have any feelings for others, you do know Wu Zhijun? He’s stable, and getting to know Lin Xue might be quite good too." Lu Feng enjoyed stirring things up and suggested pairing up Lin Xue.

"Really quite good?" It was rare to hear Lu Feng praise someone, Fu Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

Wang Lu was speechless.

Fu Xiaoxiao saw his expression and knew Lu Feng wasn’t lying.

Wang Lu left feeling dejected, Fu Xiaoxiao watched his back and turned to Lu Feng.

"Indeed Wu Zhijun is quite good, but he already has a fiancée waiting for him in the countryside, just waiting for his leave to get married." Lu Feng’s lips curved into a smirk, knowing Wu Zhijun’s plans since he approved his report himself.

"You scared Xiao Lu so much he’s lost his soul." Fu Xiaoxiao reprimanded Lu Feng, giving him a playful glare before turning into the house.

Lu Feng stood still for a moment, as if realizing he had indeed scared him.

Fu Xiaoxiao gave him a quick glance, and Lu Feng immediately nodded.

Yes, yes, it’s all my fault.

Whatever the wife says goes.

The sun set over the western hills, the sunset beautiful like fire. Lu Lin and Li Lei, two brothers, came back carrying their school bags, talking and laughing on the way. Fu Xiaoxiao and Chen Xiu stood at the door, watching the three little guys and exchanged a smile.

"Sis-in-law, how have you been these past few days?" Fu Xiaoxiao smiled softly, looking at Chen Xiu, who was now much happier without any worries.

"Very comfortable, extremely happy." Chen Xiu understood Fu Xiaoxiao’s meaning and smiled brightly.

"I heard Chen Hong has looked for you four or five times?" Fu Xiaoxiao saw Chen Hong next door several times. Whatever Chen Hong said, Chen Xiu refused to agree.

"You won’t believe it, but Li Si can’t face coming back from the dormitory and asked Chen Hong to plead on his behalf. I said I won’t agree to him coming back, and Chen Hong can’t persuade me." Chen Xiu sneered. Even if she doesn’t divorce Li Si, she will make her voice heard this time.

Let that dog of a man see who really can’t live without whom.

She has hands and feet, and she’s survived through tough times. Why does she need a man at home? It’s laughable.

She wants Li Si to see clearly that without him, the household can still function.

Give him an inch, and he wants a mile.

"Hasn’t he lowered himself to come back and apologize?" Fu Xiaoxiao admired Li Si, who still maintained his pride for so long.

"Li Si can’t lower his noble head, if he stays noble, good for him not to come back. I wish he wouldn’t!" Chen Xiu laughed, not caring whether Li Si returns or not, she’s better off without him.

"Hahaha! That’s my daughter, Li Yanan!" Suddenly a hearty laughter made Fu Xiaoxiao and Chen Xiu stop.

Chen Xiu turned immediately to look at the source of the familiar voice. "Mom, Brother!"

Chen Xiu didn’t expect her mother to come personally.

"Little girl, bullied to this extent and now you remember you have family! If you haven’t woken up yet, I’d really crack open that thick skull of yours to see what’s inside!" Li Yanan looked at her foolish daughter with disdain yet had hidden tenderness.

"Where’s that vigor from when you were little? Getting married and suddenly lacking the spirit? If you had spoken earlier, even wooden blocks wouldn’t be born; I’d have taken you back home immediately." Chen Hao poked at Chen Xiu’s forehead, full of disdain.

Watching them, though their words were not forgiving, their hearts were full of care, Fu Xiaoxiao felt envious.

Such family bonds are truly wonderful.

"Who’s this young lady?" Li Yanan saw Fu Xiaoxiao next to Chen Xiu, holding her hand and gently patting it upon seeing the emotion in her eyes.

Fu Xiaoxiao was surprised, feeling as though those sharp eyes could see deep into her soul.

"Mom, this is Fu Xiaoxiao. If it weren’t for her, I’d still be enduring!" Chen Xiu introduced Fu Xiaoxiao to her mother and brother.
