After listening to Zhou Meihua's story, Lu Zifeng instantly understood what was going on, and felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

He quickly comforted him: "Grandpa Plum Blossom, don't cry anymore. Things have happened, and it's useless to cry."

Zhou Meihua stopped crying and said, "Zifeng, I'm sorry, I'll make you laugh, but I'm really angry."

While she said, she comforted her grandson Lu Feiyu, "Well, grandma won't cry anymore, Feiyu shouldn't cry either."

The little boy Lu Feiyu stopped crying and continued to chew watermelon seeds.

Lu Zifeng pondered for a moment and said, "Grandpa Plum Blossom, I remember Uncle Youquan was not like this before, why... "

He didn't say the following words, but the meaning was clear.

Zhou Meihua sighed, "Since she divorced Wanrou's mother, she has become like this. Regardless of it, if this family had no one, they would have starved to death."

Lu Zifeng felt a little sad. He knew that Lu Youquan divorced his wife last year, but he didn't expect that Lu Youquan had such a big change. In the past or two years, he has been working hard for his mother's illness and has little knowledge of some things.

Lu Zifeng said: "How much does Uncle Youquan owe money for gambling?"

Zhou Meihua didn't know how to speak, she frowned and stretched out her two fingers.

"Twenty-hundred thousand?" Lu Zifeng was shocked.

Two hundred thousand is not a small amount. In Qiuxi Town, ordinary families may have to save for three or four years or even longer to save enough money.

Unexpectedly, all the Lu friends bet quite a bit.

Zhou Meihua nodded and said, "I originally wanted Wanrou, the child, not to listen to her father, to study hard, and to try to get into a good university next year. Anyway, I still have some savings to support her in high school. When she goes to college, it depends on her. But this girl is unhappy and insists on helping her father pay her gambling debts. That person might as well die, alas..."

A long sigh was filled with helplessness and melancholy.

Lu Wanrou wiped her tears and said, "Grandma, dad just took a detour for a while. Dad was very kind to me before, and I can't help him."

Zhou Meihua shook her head, "You stupid kid..."

Lu Zifeng said, "Okay, Grandma Plum Blossom, let me handle this matter. Sister Wanrou continues to go to school and study. I will help him pay back Uncle Youquan's gambling debt first."

Zhou Meihua quickly waved her hand to refuse and said, "No, no, how can you get this money?"

Lu Wanrou sobbed and said, "Brother Zifeng, thank you. Anyway, women will get married sooner or later, so there is nothing wrong with it sooner or later."

Lu Zifeng said: "Sister Wanrou, don't you want to go to college?"

Lu Wanrou remained silent.

Of course she wants to go to college.

This is the common dream of all rural children. They want to grow up, step out of the mountains and live the good life they want.

But ideals are always ideals, and in the face of reality, you have to bow your head.

Lu Zifeng continued, "Grandpa Plum Blossom, Sister Wanrou, don't be polite to me. I guess I have made a fortune recently. You have heard of all the news in the village. Uncle Youquan's gambling debt is nothing to me. It's just like I ate your watermelon seeds, drizzling."

Two hundred thousand? Drizzle?

Zhou Meihua and Lu Wanrou were both stunned. Of course, they had heard about the news that Lu Zifeng suddenly made a fortune. There were many people talking about it at the beginning and end of the village, but this was 200,000, not 20,000, could it be drizzle?

Zhou Meihua only thought that Lu Zifeng didn't want her to refuse in order to relieve her, but why did she have the nerve to accept such great help?

"Zifeng..." Zhou Meihua wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lu Zifeng. "Grandma Meihua, if you refuse again, you will treat me, Lu Zifeng as an outsider. I will not come to your house to eat watermelon seeds in the future."

After saying this, Zhou Meihua didn't know what to say. The wrinkled hands held Lu Zifeng's hand and said, "Zifeng, thank you, thank you."

Lu Zifeng smiled and said, "Grandpa Plum Blossom, don't thank you anymore. Just make a braised pork for me today."

"Okay, okay." Zhou Meihua said three times in a row.

"Puchi..."

Lu Wanrou also burst into tears and laughed, feeling unspeakable joy in her heart.

These days, she thought that her dream of going to college had been completely shattered, but she didn't expect that there would be another village in the dark.

She looked at Lu Zifeng with a full of respect in her eyes.

She knew that if Lu Zifeng didn't help today, she might really marry someone else's wife in a short time.

"Brother Zifeng, thank you."

Lu Wanrou said sincerely.

Lu Zifeng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled: "Silly girl, why are you polite to me? Study hard and strive to get into a key university next year, which can be considered a glory to our Lujiazhuang."

Lu Wanrou smiled sweetly and nodded, "Well, I can do it, Brother Zifeng."

I was also thinking in my heart that when I grow up, I will definitely return the money to Brother Zifeng.

"Okay, then I'll take you to school in person tomorrow." Lu Zifeng smiled with relief.

"No, I'll go by myself."

Lu Wanrou waved her hand to refuse, thinking, I can't bother Brother Zifeng anymore.

"You are kind to me. I'm going to the county town anyway. By the way, Uncle Youquan is in the county town, right?" Lu Zifeng said.

Zhou Meihua interrupted and said, "Well, you are at the construction site in the county town."

Lu Zifeng said, "Okay, I'll go to meet Uncle Youquan tomorrow and ask him what's going on."

...

noon.

Grandma Plum Blossom braised a large bowl of pork belly that she had just bought from the street in the morning using a special secret method. It shines golden, and it makes people drool just by looking at it.

Although Lu Zifeng's taste is ripe by his own cabbage and cannot eat ordinary dishes, he still eats this kind of braised pork since he was a child.

A large plate of braised pork was almost wiped out by him alone, which made him feel embarrassed.

After having lunch at the plum blossom grandma's house and chatting for a few more words, Lu Zifeng then returned to his home leisurely with his mouth wiped.

It was noon at home. Lu Zifeng had not come back yet, so he immediately asked Xu Ruoxue to call Lu Zifeng, but it rang twice.

After that, he was hung up and after calling again, the phone was turned off. After waiting for a while, he still didn't see anyone coming back, so he started eating.

After Lu Zifeng entered the door, they just finished their meal.

Looking at Lu Zifeng walking into the house, Xu Ruoxue was so angry that he dared to hang up his phone. However, seeing Lu Baocai and Liu Guilan were present, it was not easy to get angry. She glared at Lu Zifeng fiercely before she could relieve her anger.

Liu Guilan: "Zifeng, what did you do? You don't go home to have a meal. Look, we've all finished it."

Lu Zifeng: "I just ate it at Grandma Plum Blossom's house."

Liu Guilan gave her son a blank look: "You, you, the food in your home is not delicious, and you have to go to your plum blossom lady's house to eat? You plum blossom lady is so old that you have to make you a meal. Are you ashamed?"

Lu Zifeng's face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

Liu Guilan: "What good things did you buy for you to eat?"

Lu Zifeng shook his head, "I didn't buy it."

Liu Guilan glared at her eyes and said angrily: "If you didn't buy it, do you have the nerve to go?"

Lu Zifeng smiled awkwardly, "Then I'll buy it next time."

Liu Guilan shouted: "Next time, I will buy it this time. Speaking of which, during my illness, your plum blossom mother-in-law came to take care of me a lot. I'm getting better now and haven't even seen her yet. I'm really embarrassed."

In a while, Liu Guilan was very ashamed.

Lu Baocai patted his wife on the back and comforted her: "Guilan, don't blame yourself. I believe Aunt Meihua can understand it. Why do I accompany you to visit Aunt Meihua tomorrow?"

As he said that, he glared at his son and taught a lesson: "You said you are the same. When your mother was sick, your plum blossom mother came to visit your mother every now and then. He ate no less than a hundred eggs from your plum blossom mother. As a result, you went there and went for free and bare hands. At least you brought some gifts."

Lu Zifeng was very helpless. He originally wanted to say that he met a plum blossom lady who was knocked down on the road and then rode his bike to send her home. He was left to eat. Where can I buy gifts?

But when I thought, if my mother heard the news that the plum blossom grandma was knocked down, she would probably be anxious and would just be too lazy to say it. Anyway, the plum blossom grandma is fine.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, and Lu Zifeng said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I will learn from a lesson next time and will not embarrass you two elders."

This was the first time Xu Ruoxue saw Lu Zifeng’s defeated look, and she felt a little relieved, thinking, Lu Zifeng, aren’t you very awesome? There was such a cowardly day. It seems that tigers also have weaknesses, and only uncles and aunts can cure you.

Lu Baocai said: "This is almost the same."

"Guilan, look, Zifeng also knows that he is wrong. After all, he is a child. Don't be angry if you know any etiquette."

Lu Baocai turned around and comforted his wife.

How could Liu Guilan really get angry with her son? She only had one son, and she couldn't even hurt her, but she still pretended to be serious on the surface. She looked up at Lu Zifeng and said, "Zifeng, you go to the town tomorrow and buy some nutritional supplements from the elderly. I'll give it to you plum blossom woman."
