Chapter 159: Support Me When I'm Old

The arrival of Lu Bei and Xiang Xiaoyuan lifted the spirits of the relatives. They were not necessarily hungry, but having someone bring supper at this time would comfort them mentally.

Just as Xiang Xiaoyuan had guessed, Lu Wanggui did not touch the supper at all. It was already past three in the morning when the two of them came out of the mourning hall. The already quiet place was even quieter at this time.

She and Lu Wanggui leaned against the two sides of the pillars respectively. Xiang Xiaoyuan took out a mint from her bag and handed it to him. Their fingertips touched, and Lu Wanggui took it. "What's this?"

"Mint candy. It will energize you." Xiang Xiaoyuan added. "I was worried that you wouldn't drink instant coffee, and I didn't know if you smoked or not, so I bought the candy."

He opened the sugar can and ate a piece of candy. Although it's candy, it had almost no sweetness. It was cool and refreshing, and the moment it entered his mouth, it gave off a cool sensation.

"Why are you so quiet today?" Lu Wanggui saw that Xiang Xiaoyuan did not speak, so he took the initiative to speak.

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know what to say. She could not empathize with him, so she could not say anything to comfort him. She then changed the topic. "You're saying that I talk a lot?"

Lu Wanggui smiled. "Not really. I'm just used to hearing you say something before I go to bed every day." Even someone like Lu Wanggui could not escape the power of routine.

Xiang Xiaoyuan told him some recent events. Lu Wanggui let out a sigh of relief when he heard her clear but not disturbing voice.

What Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know was that her arrival had relieved Lu Wanggui's empty heart. He had experienced too much over the years. He knew that there would be a day of separation and death. He had also known that his grand uncle would leave, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon.

He sent away many of his closest relatives over the years. He thought that he was used to it, but he could never get used to the death of a loved one. He had only learned to hide his sadness because he knew that there were still many things he had to do in life.

Xiang Xiaoyuan brought Lu Bei back to the hotel, but he woke up after a few hours of sleep. There were other relatives staying in the hotel. During breakfast, Xiang Xiaoyuan met Lu Wanggui's aunt, who was in her sixties, but her body was very strong.

The aunt chatted with Xiang Xiaoyuan for a while, and suddenly asked, "Xiang Xiaoyuan? Is your father's name Xiang Rong, and your mother's name Zhao Fang?"

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment and nodded. When she had just transmigrated, she learnt about the family of the original owner. Her father's name was indeed Xiang Rong on the household registry, and her mother's name was Zhao Fang.

"I knew it. Your name sounds so familiar!"

What the aunt said next shocked Xiang Xiaoyuan even more. The original owner's father was a factory worker. Once, when he came home from work, he happened to see Lu Wanggui's house had collapsed. It was late at night at that time and the neighbors who lived far away did not know what had happened.

Lu Wanggui's father was a migrant worker. There were only Mrs. Lu and Lu Wanggui in the house. It was the original owner's father who spent a lot of effort to find people to save them. It was also the original owner's father who carried Lu Wanggui's mother and ran several miles to the hospital, only then was Mrs. Lu's life saved.

It could be said that the Xiang family had saved the Lu family. The two families had been very close ever since that incident. However, as the Lu family moved, the two families gradually lost contact.

Lu Bei, who was listening by the side, was confused. He had originally thought that his father and his stepmother met later on and fell in love. He had not heard of this before.

Xiang Xiaoyuan, on the other hand, was deep in thought.

The elderly liked to talk about procreation. So after his aunt finished sighing, she added, "You and Wanggui want to have a child, right? Seeing that you're wearing flats, could it be…"

Xiang Xiaoyuan: "?"

She lowered her head to look at her feet, and Lu Bei looked down as well.

Xiang Xiaoyuan hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, I'm not…"

Wearing flats did not mean that she was pregnant!

The aunt looked at her flat stomach and seemed a little regretful. "The country now encourages giving birth to a second child. All of you are young and in your prime to have children."

This was an uncomfortable topic. So she diverted the attention to Lu Bei. "There's no need to have a child. In a few years, we might have a grandchild."

Lu Bei: "? ? ?"

Why was the focus suddenly shifted to him?

The aunt's attention turned to Lu Bei. "Yes. In a blink of an eye, Xiao Bei is almost an adult."

Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at Lu Bei and said jokingly, "In the future, if your mother is not free, I'll take care of your child for you.. But, you have to support me when I'm old."
