Chapter 2408: Life is Getting Better



Grandma Lu's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present. She said, "Today, this big family gathering is something I never dared to dream of before. Several years ago, the thing that weighed most on my mind was the hope of finding Ah Yu early, of being able to see my sister again. That way, even if I were to pass away, I could do so with a peaceful heart."


Shu Yu hurriedly grasped her hand, and Grandma Lu smiled, saying, "It's true. I mean it. I'm quite old now, and I've been eagerly looking forward to the prosperity of my children and grandchildren. Now, it's like a dream come true. Ah Yu has returned, my sister has returned, and life is getting better and better. I'm genuinely happy in my heart."


She then looked at Lu Dasong and continued, "The eldest son is filial, honest, and attentive to his younger siblings. He has worked diligently in the fields his whole life. Now that things are better, he hasn't picked up any bad habits. Eldest son, you've done very well."


Lu Dasong's eyes welled up with tears, and he said, "Mother."


Grandma Lu went on, taking a sip of her wine, "The grandchildren of this family are all successful now. Da Niu, as the eldest grandson, has always worked hard and responsibly, carrying the burden of the family. He's now in charge of the workshop and doing a great job. Cui Hua and Lan Hua have both found good matches, with capable sons-in-law. I'm very happy. And as for Er Niu, he's been studying diligently. The teacher even told me recently that you've made great progress. I'm pleased."


All the mentioned individuals stood up, and since it was rare for Grandma Lu to express such sentiments, they all raised their glasses in her honor.


Grandma Lu soon turned her attention to Lu Erbai, saying, "The second son, you've had the hardest life. You lost Ah Yu, searched for her for over a decade, and even injured your leg. The family had no money or food, and it seemed like all hardships were heaped upon you. When I saw that, my heart ached, but I couldn't do anything to help. Fortunately, heaven didn't forsake us entirely. Ah Yu has returned, you've opened a shop, and now your business is thriving. In the future, I can rest assured."


Lu Erbai raised his glass and took a big sip of wine.


Grandma Lu continued, "The children of the second son's family, like their father, have endured the most hardships. Ah You faced great adversity earlier, almost losing her life, but she has come through it. She now has a loving husband, obedient child, and has stood on her own feet. I'm delighted to see it."


She then looked at Shu Yu and gently patted her head, saying, "You, my child, despite being the most successful, with the highest status and greatest abilities among all of us, are also the one I worry about the most. Among all the children, only you had to bear all the burdens from a young age, all alone, with no one to help or comfort you. If I could, I would rather give up our current wealth and status just to ensure you had a peaceful and uneventful life, free from the threat of evil people."


"Grandmother," Shu Yu's voice choked.


Grandma Lu continued, "If it weren't for you, there would be no Lu family today. Ah Yu, I want to thank you. I'm also very happy that you're now married, expecting a child. I truly have no regrets."


Shu Yu didn't drink any alcohol, and Meng Yunzheng provided her with hot water.


She didn't say anything either, just raised her cup and clinked it with Grandma Lu.


Grandma Lu beamed with joy and looked at Shu Rui and Shu Ning, saying, "And you two, when you were little, you were so thin and fragile that Ah Ning couldn't even walk steadily. Now, one of you is a top scholar, and the other will become a skilled physician in the future. I have no worries."
