Back To The 80s-Chapter 303 - 313: Tricks (Additional - for 780 Monthly Tickets)_1

Chen Dajun spoke these words like he was reciting a text, emotionless. Lu Zhanguo abruptly said, "Alright, we know about it, you should go look at your friend’s place first, we will also go out and look for her."

At this, Chen Dajun gulped down the words that were on the tip of his tongue, timidly he said, "Second Brother, I will go first then, if you find Ruirui, tell her... I will truly look after her and the child well... "

As soon as Lu Aiguo heard Chen Dajun ramble on, he grabbed a teacup from the coffee table and threw it at him, cursing, "Fuck off, quit disgusting people."

Lu Zhanguo, holding Xiaopang, agilely dodged to the side, the cup of warm water hit Chen Dajun straight in the forehead.

Chen Dajun retreated two steps in pain, he howled once, wiped the water off his face, not daring to say more, he turned and ran out the door.

Lu Aiguo continued to grumble, "Bastard, I should cut off his leg, couldn’t even look after a living person. If anything happens to Ruirui, I will skin him alive!"

Lu Zhanguo, holding Xiaopang, said after half a moment of silence: "I’m afraid that Ruirui didn’t really run away, she and Dajun conspired this rotten idea to get back to the old house."

Lu Aiguo was shocked and couldn’t believe it, "How could that be? Ruirui must have been threatened by this grandson."

Gu Xiaobei looked at Lu Aiguo, who was very protective of his sister, and couldn’t help but worry, feeling that there were going to be some tumultuous days ahead.

After Chen Dajun left the Lu family, he quickly returned home. Lu Ruixue was comfortably lying in bed reading a comic book, she saw Chen Dajun come back and said, "Hurry, change the coal block first, the room is so cold, the fire must be going out."

Chen Dajun, somewhat displeased, said, "You’re lying here at home, couldn’t you help with the fire? If I didn’t come back, were you planning to freeze to death?"

Lu Ruixue unhappily tossed the comic away and said, "Why do you have to be so nitpicky? Also, did you say that I don’t want the child when you went to our house?"

Chen Dajun was angry, he frantically fiddled with the fire, changed the coal, threw the fire tongs down, and said: "You think you’re your family’s treasure, huh? I even told them you ran away from home, and your second brother still sent me away."

Lu Ruixue couldn’t quite believe it, "My second and third brothers weren’t worried? Didn’t they come out to look for me?"

Chen Dajun snorted, "In your dreams. Your third brother just cursed at me. Your second brother merely coldly dismissed me, saying he would go look for you. But I bet he was just putting on a show. See, this is your heroic second brother, and your righteous third brother. They don’t care about you at all when something happens."

Lu Ruixue shook her head, "Impossible, my third brother dotes on me the most, he can’t just ignore me. My second brother may seem indifferent, but he still cares about his sister in his heart. I must go back now and ask."

"If you go back now, are you going to tell your family that what we just told them were all lies? Look at my forehead, swollen from being hit by your third brother with a teapot. Your family really is brutal!" Chen Dajun said with a sense of wrong, as he pointed to his own forehead.

Lu Ruixue looked at the purple swelling on Chen Dajun’s forehead, and with a bit of heartache she said, "How could my third brother do things like this? When I see them again, I won’t let it go."

Chen Dajun slumped down on the bed, "What can you do even if you won’t let it go? Our old house, I think your third brother is adamant about not giving us. Yet you still say your third brother is on your side. Even his own sister got tricked. This really opened my eyes." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He had walked by the health clinic and saw Gu Xiaobei and Fang Jing earlier today. Only then did he get inspired to act out this farce of looking for a missing person.

Lu Ruixue was silent and quietly cursed at Lu Aiguo in her heart.

After dinner, Lu Aiguo went to Gu Xiaobei’s room and said he needed to discuss something with Lu Zhanguo. Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaobei hurriedly left for Fang Jing’s room next door.

"Second Brother, what should we do?" Lu Aiguo had spent the entire day feeling uneasy.

Lu Zhanguo, looking at the two children lying on the bed, said: "What do you want to do? Give back the house to Chen Dajun?"

Lu Aiguo walked back and forth uneasily, unwillingly said, "If I give in just like that, won’t I be at Chen Dajun’s mercy in the future?"

"Then we might as well do nothing. Regardless of what kind of racket Ruirui and Chen Dajun create, you just sit back and watch. Can you do it?" Lu Zhanguo stared at his brother. He sympathized with Lu Aiguo’s feelings for Ruixue, they grew up together and endured hardship in the countryside together when they were young.

All these years, Lu Aiguo was used to taking care of everything for Ruixue, but he forgot that she is now married, and no longer the little sister who used to trail behind him with pigtails.

Lu Aiguo was silent for a while before he replied to Lu Zhanguo, "Second brother, I can do it. If Ruixue insists on being with that jerk Chen Dajun, then from now on, whether she lives or dies, I won’t bother about it."

Lu Zhanguo looked at the upset Lu Aiguo and slowly said, "Not ignoring, but moderate intervention. As Mum said, we can not protect her for a lifetime, she needs to rely on herself."

Lu Aiguo nodded, wiped his face, sat down on the bed, picked up Mo Wang and said, "Life was better when she was this small, with no worries. Little Mo Wang, Little Mo Wang, when you grow up, make sure to protect your sister and not let some bastard cheat you."

Lu Zhanguo glared at him. As long as he lived, no bastard would be allowed to approach their Xiaopang.

Gu Xiaobei was in Fang Jing’s room, watching Yueyue draw. Fang Jing had left for the night shift.

After finishing her drawing, Yueyue showed Gu Xiaobei, saying: "Second Aunt, look at my drawing of Xiaopang and Mo Wang."

Gu Xiaobei looked at the black mess on the paper, it was completely impossible to discern noses or eyes on the doll, she said half-heartedly, "Isn’t this a little too ugly?"

Yueyue glared at her with big round eyes and earnestly said, "Second Aunt, how can it be ugly? Look, these are the big eyes, this is the nose, this is the hair. Isn’t it beautiful?"

Gu Xiaobei was a bit slow to react. Was that handful of instant noodles-like strands supposed to be hair? A child’s perception was sure peculiar. She couldn’t resist asking, "Can you draw a little dog or little monkey for Second Aunt to see?"

Yueyue happily nodded and started to draw with her head down. After a while, two more black blotches appeared on the paper.

Seeing this made Gu Xiaobei feel a twitch at the corner of her eyes. This was even uglier. She could just barely discern that it was shaped like a dog and a monkey, the rest was very abstract.

"Second Aunt, don’t they look nice?" Gu Xiaobei, against her conscience, nodded and praised, "You did a great job."

Yueyue was pleased, "Our teacher also says my drawings are nice. I’m the best in our class, everyone learns from me."

Suddenly, Gu Xiaobei had an idea. Yes, a child’s perception is different from adults. Adults require likeness, while children just need simplicity and recognizability.

With that thought, Gu Xiaobei decided to communicate with Jiang Jiahua when she returns to the province and transforms the illustrations in children’s English reading books into the kind of animals and characters seen through the eyes of children. This way, children will remember them more easily.
