Chapter 19 - 19 19 Why cant you understand this simple thing
Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Why can’t you understand this simple thing! Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Why can’t you understand this simple thing! “You have no say here!” Old Madam Lu couldn’t bear to hear anyone speak ill of her eldest grandson, “A girl, once she’s married, she belongs to someone else’s family and has nothing to do with ours. Even if she talks about going to Jing University, no matter how much she studies, it has nothing to do with our family. It’s a waste for Zhenguo to spend money on her!”
“Mom, Youbang is my nephew, and I can afford to pay for his education, let alone Youxi, who is my own daughter,” Lu Zhenguo said, “I’ve planned for a long time that as long as Youxi and Youxue can get into college, I will make sure they attend. If other children can go to college, so can mine!”
The whole Lu Family pooled together to support Lu Youbang’s education at Jing University.
But now it was Lu Youxi’s turn, and regardless of the others, he would take care of it!

Over here, Lu Youxi was taking Lu Youxue to the village entrance, with Lu Youzhen following them all the way.
Lu Youxi couldn’t be bothered with Lu Youzhen; she knew exactly why Lu Youzhen was following them.
But this episode didn’t happen in her previous life.
In her previous life, she hadn’t had a blowup with the Lu Family’s elders at home before she received the admission letter. She quietly waited for the express delivery, so there was no situation where Lu Youzhen came with her to get the parcel.
After all, Lu Youxi had lived to the age of 38 in her previous life, over 20 years since she graduated, so she couldn’t remember the exact day the express delivery had arrived.
She only remembered a rough timespan, which was why she often came to wait.
Lu Youxi ignored Lu Youzhen, but Lu Youxue couldn’t stand it.
He frowned and asked Lu Youzhen, “Youzhen, why are you following us?”
“We’re waiting for the courier together to see if big sister can get it, and if she does, which university’s admission letter it is,” Lu Youzhen said with a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth.
Even if Lu Youxi was a good student, she wouldn’t be able to get into a good university.
The grandparents would never support Lu Youxi the way they supported Youbang. They would only choose an affordable school for Lu Youxi, and it was even possible that even if Lu Youxi got into college, they wouldn’t let her study.
Just now in the yard, the grandparents had already hinted at this intention.
That’s why Lu Youxi insisted that if she got into Jing University, she would make the grandparents agree to let her attend.
Lu Youzhen’s eyes spun around, “Big sister, you didn’t really apply for Jing University, did you?”
Lu Youxi didn’t even look at her, nor did she respond, acting as though she didn’t exist.
“Lu Youxi, I’m talking to you!” Lu Youzhen said, dissatisfied.
“What’s it to you?” Lu Youxi retorted unkindly.
“We’re all family here, what’s wrong with me caring about you?” Lu Youzhen immediately said.
“Then you might as well worry about what your fate will be when it’s your turn for the college entrance exams next year,” Lu Youxi said with a cold laugh, “You’d better get into college since your uncle and auntie might actually fight for you. But with your grades, that seems difficult.”
“Plus, you’d better get into a good university, because if it’s some third-rate one, your uncle and auntie probably won’t bother fighting for you,” Lu Youxi scoffed sarcastically.
Lu Youzhen had the nerve to look forward to watching her own big sister’s drama.
Lu Youzhen: “…”
Being talked to like that by Lu Youxi, Lu Youzhen suddenly didn’t feel like it anymore.
Arriving at the village entrance, after about five or six minutes, they saw a courier riding an electric tricycle coming, preparing to drop off a package at the village’s collection point.
Lu Youxi quickly went up to inquire, “Do you have a package for me?”
The courier was in charge of the express delivery for several nearby villages.
Not many people were in Hexing Village, and Lu Youxi had also waited for the express delivery yesterday, so the courier remembered her.
On her inquiry, he sifted through a pile of letters and found one for her, “Indeed, there’s one for you.”
“Thank you!” Lu Youxi took it and glanced at the sender on the express form; it was indeed sent from Jing University!
An express delivery from Jing University meant nothing other than an admission notice.
Even with the experience from her past life, knowing that in this life she would without a doubt be admitted to Jing University, and even receive a scholarship, the moment she received the admission letter, Lu Youxi’s mood still soared with joy.
“What’s that? Your admission letter?” Lu Youzhen leaned in.
Lu Youxi immediately put on a cold face and turned the express bag upside down, not letting Lu Youzhen see.
“What is it really? Which school?” Lu Youzhen asked.
“You’ll find out when we get home,” Lu Youxi said indifferently. “Why the rush?”
“So you’ve got something you can’t say now?” Lu Youzhen, failing to get an answer, resorted to goading, “Could it be that you didn’t do well and it’s some third-rate university, so you’re too embarrassed to say?”
Sadly, Lu Youzhen’s little tricks were no match for Lu Youxi.
Regardless of what Lu Youzhen said, Lu Youxi ignored her.
All the way back to the Lu Family’s house, they hadn’t even entered when they heard arguing inside.
“Mom, Youbang is my nephew, and I can afford to pay for his education, let alone Youxi, who is my own daughter,” Lu Zhenguo said. “I’ve planned for a long time that as long as Youxi and Youxue get into college, I will make sure they attend. If other children can go to college, so can mine!” Lu Youxi heard Lu Zhenguo’s words as she arrived at the door.
Lu Youxi hurriedly stopped Lu Youxue, who was about to go inside.
Seeing this, Lu Youzhen joined Lu Youxi and Lu Youxue outside the door to eavesdrop.
She loved to see the joke that was her uncle’s family.
“How can you not understand!” Old Master Lu stomped his foot in dissatisfaction, “Youxi is a girl who will have to marry someday! Once she’s married, she’s part of someone else’s family, all the money you spend on her now is for naught!”
“She’s a girl, but she’s still our child!” Liu Yushu couldn’t help but say, “Moreover, Youxi wouldn’t neglect us.”
After Liu Yushu spoke, she tugged at Lu Zhenguo’s sleeve, hoping he wouldn’t listen to the elders.
“Don’t you, a woman, meddle in our Lu Family’s affairs!” Old Master Lu rebuked angrily.
Liu Yushu was stunned, tears flowing uncontrollably as she stared at the Lu Family’s elders, then turned to look at Lu Zhenguo.
She may not have the surname Lu, but she married into the Lu Family twenty years ago, taking care of the whole family, bustling about.
And now, after all this time, Old Master Lu told her not to interfere in their family matters?
“Zhenguo, do you also think I shouldn’t speak up? I’m not a Lu, even after doing a lifetime of chores at home, looking after you all, am I still an outsider?” Liu Yushu turned and asked Lu Zhenguo.
“Mom!” Lu Youxi shouted as she stepped inside, no longer wanting to listen.
Lu Youxue’s little face was serious as he quickly ran forward, shielding Liu Yushu behind him, and looked up at Lu Zhenguo with displeasure, “Dad, it’s disheartening to hear Grandpa and Grandma talk about Mom like this, won’t you say a word?”
No wonder his sister said Lu Zhenguo was blindly filial.
His sister planned to move him and Mom to the city and wouldn’t let Mom continue to suffer here.
As for whether Dad would come or not, his sister didn’t care for the time being.
At the time, he didn’t understand, although the grandparents weren’t nice to Mom, at least with Dad around, they wouldn’t let things go too far.
What do you think?
