Chapter 193 Love Rival Becomes Uncle

Hearing Lu Jintang's words, Zheng's mother felt even more ashamed. However, although the words were unpleasant to hear, the truth was still there. Her children should indeed come out to meet their grandparents. Sui smiled and said, "Of course, I will go and ask them to come out and meet their grandparents, father and mother."

Father Zheng reached out and touched Mother Zheng's hand and said, "You stay with your grandparents and your parents-in-law and chat. I'll go get the kids."

Mother Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, go see what they are doing, and then let Xiaoliu cook!"

Old Man Lu interrupted, "No need to cook, come and take a look! Apart from the eldest and second sons, you haven't seen the others? Your aunt is coming too, so go meet her when the time comes! She's really worried about you!"

Mother Zheng said with tears in her eyes, "Yes, Grandfather! Why are you here? What happened at home?"

Father Lu looked at his own father, and the old man Lu continued: "It's nothing, I just ran into a villain and was framed, but I will be able to go back soon. What are your plans?"

Mother Zheng looked at Father Zheng who came in to call the child and said, "The child's father wants to go back, but I don't want to go back. We are both well now and living here is more comfortable. Going back would only lead to intrigue and scheming."

Old Man Lu's face fell as he said, "You've forgotten everything I taught you since you were a child. Your life is only as good as going back home. What's the point of being here? Look at where you live, and look at how you look now. Standing next to your mother, you're older than her!"

Mother Zheng looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandfather, I've failed you. I'm so sorry. Life is only a few years long, and I've already missed so many. Now I just want to be with my children and live a healthy life. As for the rest, I don't want to take anything that's not mine."

Old Lady Lu looked at Lu Changyan, who was crying but speaking with a firm tone, and shook her head and said, "Let her be! As long as she lives well, that's all! She has lived this kind of life for so many years, and she may not be able to live well if she goes back. It's fine this way."

Mother Zheng stood up, walked over to Old Lady Lu and Old Man Lu, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Grandmother, for your help!"

At this moment, Zheng Huairen and his nine siblings, who had been peeking at this side from behind the door, were brought out by Zheng's father. They also knelt in front of Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu. Zheng's father said, "Come here and meet your great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandfather and grandmother, and your youngest uncle."

Zheng Huairen and Lu Jintang's affairs, Zheng's father knew something, but he thought that Zheng Huairen was incapable of winning Yang Mingxi's favor, so he didn't take it to heart. Now that he said this, he suddenly felt that his eldest son might be a little embarrassed to get along with Lu Jintang in the future!

Zheng Huairen took the lead and stepped forward, kneeling on the ground and said, "Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandmother, grandfather, hello! My name is Zheng Huairen, I am the eldest son in the family, and I am 19 years old now!" After that, he smiled, looking at the elders in front of him with bright and determined eyes, then turned his gaze to Lu Jintang on the side, and said softly, "Besides, I am only two years younger than our youngest uncle." After that, he looked at Lu Jintang with some complacency.

Lu Jintang chuckled secretly and said nothing.

As Zheng Huairen finished speaking, the other children followed their eldest brother's lead, greeting their elders in unison. Those childish yet sincere cries echoed in the air. However, despite the children's well-behaved and sensible behavior, a faint sense of sadness permeated the scene.

Perhaps it is because the excitement and joy after a long separation are mixed with memories and emotions of the past years; or perhaps it is because the deep emotions between relatives are reawakened at this moment, which makes people feel sad.

Mother Lu stepped forward and helped the children up, saying, "Good children, get up! Today is the day your uncle is getting engaged, so you left in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Come to our place for dinner tonight! I'll give you the gifts instead. Now have some wedding candy!" After that, she gave each child a handful of wedding candy.

Zheng Huairen felt very disappointed when he took Lu Jintang's engagement candy. The girl he liked was already taken from today, but he was eating her engagement candy here. How ironic was that!

Zheng Huairen was thinking about his own things. Lu Jintang looked at Zheng Huairen and felt uncomfortable. He knew that he must be thinking about Yang Mingxi. He pretended to be casual and said, "What are you thinking about, Huairen? You are not young anymore. Have you found a girl yet?"

Zheng Huairen was suddenly mentioned by name. He looked up at Lu Jintang, and his thoughts about Yang Mingxi suddenly faded. He smiled at Lu Jintang and said, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. I'm still young. I haven't even started looking for anyone yet. Does uncle have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Lu Jintang was stunned by the question. This guy was obviously upset just now, so how could he suddenly feel relieved? But this was fine, so he smiled and said, "You know I've only been here a short time. Wait for me to talk to your aunt. She's from the same village as you, so she's more familiar with the place. Let her help you take a look!"

After hearing this, Zheng Huairen smiled and said, "Okay, thank you first, auntie. I'll be waiting!"

Mother Lu sat nearby, her eyes constantly fixed on Lu Jintang and Zheng Huairen, who were chatting happily. She had a vague feeling that there seemed to be an inexplicable anger between the two, but when she tried to detect any specific signs, it seemed as if everything was just her own illusion.

Lu Jintang smiled as he spoke softly to Zheng Huairen, nodding slightly and smiling softly from time to time. Their expressions seemed so harmonious and natural. Zheng Huairen listened intently to Lu Jintang's words, occasionally interjecting a response, his eyes revealing his admiration for her.

The two sat together and chatted for a long time. Then, Mrs. Lu, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke slowly, "Well, it's getting late, let's go home first. All of you, come to our place for dinner tonight so we can all get together. Oh, and by the way, you can meet your aunt too." With that, Mrs. Lu stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, the others also stood up and followed her.

Zheng's mother and father took their children and sent everyone from the Lu family out of the courtyard. Looking at her family members leaving, Zheng's mother's tears flowed again.

She knew that until now, her grandfather had not given up on his expectations of her, which meant that the Lu family had not given up on her and she still had her family.
