RAD Chapter 58

“Grandma, grandma, guess who I saw coming back?” A voice came from far away, “You’ll definitely be interested.”

“What are you shouting about? You’re making so much noise that you’re giving me a headache.” The old lady who was dozing off in the chair was very dissatisfied to be woken up. She angrily slapped the table next to her and scolded the person who came running in.

The young boy who had just run in immediately lowered his head, looking meek and daring not to make a sound. If Luo Xiao was here now, he would know who these two were. That’s right, they were his former grandmother–Old Mrs. Yu, and his former cousin–Lu Cheng.

“Tell me, what’s the matter!” Old Mrs. Yu took a deep breath and asked impatiently.

The truth is, ever since that divorce six years ago, nothing has gone smoothly for the Yu family. Yu Jun, that ungrateful wretch, actually left home to work without even saying a word. And the little daughter she always doted, ever since giving birth to these two debt collectors, doesn’t even know to go out and earn money to support the family. She just knows how to go out and mess around all day long. What a bunch of bastards they are!

Lu Cheng is no longer as arrogant and overbearing as he was six years ago. As a child living under someone else’s roof, he has already understood his current situation. Originally, he still wanted to go to S City to study, but due to his failure in the high school entrance exam, he had to end his student life early under the suppression of Old Mrs. Yu and come out to work to supplement the family income.

“Well, grandma, I just saw those people come back.” Lu Cheng, thinking that it was because of those people that he failed the high school entrance exam and couldn’t go to S City to study, had an undisguised ruthless look in his eyes.

“Huh? What people?” Old Mrs. Yu was a little confused and didn’t respond.

“It’s that bastard and his bitch mother.” Lu Cheng gritted his teeth and said.

“What? Those two shameless people actually came back? They still dare to come back?” Old Mrs. Yu’s heart was immediately filled with anger. It was because of these two bitches that their Yu family had become the laughingstock of the town. If it weren’t for the fact that they had been hiding outside these past few years, she would not have let them off so easily!

Of course, the fact is that Luo Xiao and the others actually come back every year, it’s just that the two families have never run into each other. This time it was also accidentally encountered by Lu Cheng. Besides, they were just going to study, okay? Where did the idea of “escaping” come from?

If Luo Xiao knew what they were thinking, he would only shrug his shoulders helplessly. After all, as a normal person, it is impossible to understand the thoughts of those with abnormal minds. Can’t help it, the brain circuits are different!

“Mom, son, what’s wrong with you two?” At this moment, Old Mrs. Yu’s beloved little daughter, Yu Yi, came in with a cheerful expression. When she saw their unpleasant expressions, she asked in confusion.

“Mom, you know? Those two people are back.” Lu Cheng stepped forward and whispered to his mother.

“Those two people?” Yu Yi looked puzzled at her son.

“Hmph, it’s those two shameless people.” Old Mrs. Yu snorted coldly, her face clearly showing disgust.

And when Yu Yi heard this, she had a big smile on her face: “Ah? So you also know that those two people are back?”

“Hmph, what do you mean? You’re actually smiling?” Seeing her annoying smile, Old Mrs. Yu felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Yu Yi saw her mother’s reaction and understood it the next second. She immediately restrained the expression on her face and walked up to her with a flattering smile, gently massaging the old lady’s shoulder while saying cautiously, “Mom, I’m just doing it for the good of our Yu family.”

“Hmm?” Old Mrs. Yu looked at her puzzledly.

Yu Yi chuckled, “Mom, do you know? I personally saw them come back to the Luo family. Each of them was carrying big and small packages, and there are many of them. ”

“Also the clothes they are wearing, you can tell they are made of high-quality fabrics. Do you think they made a big fortune outside?”

“Hmph, them? How is that possible!” Old Mrs. Yu’s face was full of disbelief. “If you ask me, that vixen must have come up with some bad ideas again, becoming someone’s mistress, that’s why they are like this!”

Yu Yi silently rolled her eyes inwardly: Hmph, if being a mistress was that easy, she would have done it long ago. And judging from what she just saw, that woman doesn’t look like a typical mistress at all. Moreover, she couldn’t help but feel that the woman’s appearance seemed to have become even more youthful and beautiful compared to four years ago.

Of course, these were things she couldn’t say to her mother. So Yu Yi just nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, Mother is so insightful. I think that’s about right.”

“Hmph, enough with the pinching.” Old Mrs. Yu retracted her foot, “Yizi, go make the meal. By the way, where’s that little bastard? Where did he run off this time?”

“This, Grandma, brother should be outside. I’ll go get him.” Lu Cheng came forward and said with a flattering look.

“Mm, go.” Old Mrs. Yu nodded. “I don’t know what this little bastard is running around for all day long. It’s fine if he is stupid, but he also keep causing trouble for others. I don’t know what kind of sins I did in my previous life to end up with you all, a bunch of troublesome bastards, in this life!”

Lu Cheng didn’t say anything else, but directly went out to find his brother. Although his brother was a mentally disabled child, he was still his own blood brother. Even if Grandma and Mother didn’t care about him, he would always look after him.

Lu Cheng walked to a corner outside the house and sure enough, he saw his brother lying on the ground alone and completely focused on something. He shook his head, walked up and patted his shoulder, smiling as he asked, “Brother, what are you looking at?”

Lu Tu turned his head and grinned. After he saw who had just come, he pointed to a crack in the wall and said, “Brother, here, ants, no, wait.”

Lu Cheng rubbed his little head and skillfully took a handkerchief out of his pocket, gently wiping the drool at the corner of his mouth. “Well, the ants have gone on a trip. Wait a while and they’ll come back.”

“Trip?” Lu Tu tilted his head in confusion. Just then, his stomach growled, “Brother, hungry.”

“Mm, I know, let’s go back and eat.” Lu Cheng put the handkerchief back in his pocket, then held his little brother’s hand and headed back inside.

Of course, before going to eat, Lu Cheng first took him to wash up, even though he would probably get scolded by Grandma again. But at least she hasn’t hit him yet, right?

After a dinner without much meat, Old Mrs. Yu went back to her own room to continue chanting Buddhist sutras, hoping to go to the Western Paradise after she died. Lu Cheng took his brother back to their shared room. But before that, Lu Cheng had to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks as usual. As for Yu Yi, she went to the courtyard, facing the direction of Luo Xiao’s grandmother’s house, her expression complicated.

Let’s not worry about what this family will do next. At least for now the atmosphere in the Luo family is very harmonious. Especially the elderly couple, when they heard that their two daughters had both gotten into university, even though one of them was not the first choice, but it’s still considered an achievement. They were overjoyed.

In this era where intellectuals are highly regarded by the older generation, the family suddenly produced two university students, which is something to be proud of when talking to others!

Grandpa Luo was so delighted that he had the Grandma Luo take out the prized Zhuangyuan red wine that he had been hoarding, planning to have a good drink today. Grandma Luo had always prohibited Grandpa Luo from drinking due to his health concerns, but today she happily made an exception for him. Of course, there was still a limit. She only allowed him to drink up to three cups.

Three cups it is then. Grandpa Luo was so impatient that he urged the Grandma Luo to quickly bring out the hidden wine, as he definitely wanted to savor it properly since he was only allowed to drink three cups today.

“By the way, Qian, what did you and Yanzi study?” Grandpa Luo asked with squinting eyes after taking a sip of the wine.

Luo Qian swallowed her food and replied, “I majored in fashion design, and Yanzi majored in Western cuisine.”

“Fashion design? Western cuisine?” Grandma Luo repeated for a moment and then realized, “Oh, so you’re a tailor and a chef.”

Hmm, well, this understanding is not entirely wrong, but why does it feel like a few notches down? Luo Xiao silently critiqued in his heart.

After a brief pause, Luo Qian smiled and nodded, “Yes, exactly, a tailor and a chef.”

“En, these are both good fields, work hard at them.” Grandpa Luo nodded approvingly. “In the future, you can even come back and open a tailor shop and a small restaurant, just like the son of Old Sun on the back street. He and his wife opened a small restaurant last year and the business is still quite good. And there’s also Old Huang’s tailor shop at the intersection of ShangHeng Road, it’s been open for over 10 years and the business is still doing great.”

Listening to the grandfather’s rambling, Luo and the three felt no irritation at all, only a deep sense of familial love.

Early in the next morning, Luo Qian’s brothers and sisters heard the news of their return and came one after another, just to see if their little sister (or older sister) was doing well in S City. After hearing the news that she and Xu Yan had both gotten into university, everyone was very lively again.

Subsequently, Luo Qian and the others distributed the gifts they brought back from S City to everyone. Seeing the happy smiles on everyone’s faces, there really is nothing better than being together with family.

Of course, at times like these, there are always some tactless people who will come and disrupt the atmosphere…
