"Still, when Liu Zhi talked about the past, Lu Yui did show so interest, saying, "Have you never thought about looking for your biological parents?"
Liu Zhi, busy with his tasks, laughed as he replied, "What's there to look for, really? Besides, they're probably not easy to find."
"But they found Ma Qingqing's parents. You could give it a try, maybe with Mr. L's help..."
"Stop right there. What kind of background and heritage do they have? Plus, their clues were comparatively clear. , on the other hand, I was picked up from the bathroom of the county hospital. Who knows what happened 28 years ago? Back then, the county was a wreck, with no surveillance caras."
"But isn't it still a regret? You grew up orphaned, without a dad or mom, alas..."
"Not really! I still had a dad! He was just an ordinary laid-off worker who beca a cleaner, and he was a disabled pig butcher, but that didn't stop him from giving positive guidance and education. I'm forever grateful to him for teaching to persevere, to be resilient, as well as many other wonderful human qualities. Those kinds of people from the lower echelons have many shining points; they're just often overlooked, or people grow too used to them to notice."
Lu Yui nodded, "Mhm, you truly are a good kid. Nowadays, society is in chaos, everyone's chasing after money and forgetting about the finer aspects of humanity. By the way, what about your foster mom? Any mories?"
"Well..." Liu Zhi paused, giving a bitter smile, "No mories, not at all. My dad said she ran off with soone just three months after bringing ho. As for who, I have no idea. Neighbors say it was so rich guy, but who knows? I rember I had a sister back then too..."
Lu Yui raised a hand, "Stop there. When you ntion sister, it reminds of Lin Juan. She might know sothing about your sister, right?"
Liu Zhi's eyes brightened, "Oh, that's right, she should know, probably..."
Muttering to himself, he rembered Lin Juan talking about wanting to tell him about the family.
It seed that on his next visit ho, he would really need to stop by Sister Juan's house.
After so thought, Lu Yui finally called out, "Zhizhong..."
"Hey, Mrs. Lu..."
Their calling to each other, so in sync, felt so full of life.
"How will you face Lin Juan, owing her such a huge debt of gratitude? She might offer herself in thanks, you know?"
"Uh..." Liu Zhi paused, turning to look at his mother-in-law who was cleaning a turtle's innards, "Why would you ask that? Isn't that a real test of one's character?"
Lu Yui chuckled, "Just to test you, can't I?"
But inside, she was reminiscing about the scene from last night, sigh! Such a delightful and thrilling mory, yet so embarrassing too!
Rembering Liu Zhi's wild dreaming face, she almost burst into laughter, but she held it in.
Liu Zhi seriously said, "To be honest, she did have that idea, but I rejected it from the start!"
"Oh? You could actually reject?"
Her implication being, with the way he dreamt last night so restlessly, could he really resist Lin Juan?
Of course, Liu Zhi didn't understand and just nodded, "Yes, I rejected her. I told Sister Juan, I have my own family, and also..."
Yapping on for a bit, Lu Yui actually believed him and was secretly impressed.
The kid was so vigorous, did he not need it?
Forget n, even won... I, Lu Yui, need it too, sigh...
Nevertheless, in her eyes, Liu Zhi had a lot of quality, always holding to his moral bottom line.
In the end, Lu Yui nodded and sighed, "That stupid girl Zhao Yan really doesn't know what's good for her, giving up on such a good man for divorce, her brain must be waterlogged! The more I talk about her, the angrier I get!"
With that, she forcefully tossed a chunk of turtle intestines into the water, splashing Liu Zhi's face.
Liu Zhi looked bewildered, pitiful, and comically pathetic, "Mrs. Lu, you were just supposed to clean the turtle guts, was that really necessary?"
Lu Yui couldn't help but laugh, feeling very happy.
Liu Zhi wiped his face, "Well, Mrs. Lu, I'm not sure if I should ask, but there are no strangers out here in this wilderness, so can you tell what's going on with Zhao Yan?"
