Chapter 16: Just Watch Her Nag the Scummy Father and Stepmother to Death!

That evening, Jiang Ye escorted a batch of important supplies back to Sea Island to report.

Lu Xiu Bai and others were seriously injured and hospitalized for observation.

Gangzi looked at Lu Ying, who was laughing with a gap-toothed grin on the bed, and secretly asked the doctor if his brain was injured.

The doctor flipped through the medical record, shook his head firmly, and said, "No."

If the patient's condition is special, perhaps there was a hidden ailment beforehand.

Lu Xiu Bai laughed until tears came; the reason he asked Jiang Ye to fetch his sister in his place was partly to see the other person make a fool of themselves—how could Lu Xiu Bai's sister possibly be an ugly freak?

On the other hand, he had a suspicion he was unwilling to accept.

When his mother divorced, the last time she hugged him, she told him that if one day she was gone, she would have his sister return to rely on them, so he would take good care of his sister.

Now his sister has appeared; his mother might......

Capital——

Train station.

Shen Man instructed her grandfather all the way, telling him to take care of his health and to send her and her brother a telegram when he had time.

Also, the grape wine she brewed in her room could only be drunk after two or three months; she was not to secretly open it, and when it was ready to drink, she could have at most one cup per day.

Besides the grape wine, she also obtained other brewing ingredients from the old grandpa and made medicinal wine for her grandfather; the medicinal wine didn't need to wait several months, about a month was enough.

With the Spiritual Liquid as a base, drinking it would definitely produce immediate effects.

"Grandpa, Xu Grandpa's circumstances are difficult; from now on, each month, could you have Brother Li go visit them in the lane?"

"Okay, Grandpa noted it; my Manman has a kind heart, Grandpa will listen to you and help the lonely elderly as much as possible."

Old Master Lu nodded and noted it down.

He had Xiao Li check the backgrounds of the people in Solitary Elder Lane; they were all pitiful folks, and helping them was no big deal.

Shen Man breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that; she had discovered yesterday that after helping Xu Grandpa's group, golden light on her body increased strand by strand.

Tangyuan said, "This is blessings; the more, the better."

Since she could gather blessings from Xu Grandpa's group, Grandpa should be able to as well.

The more good thoughts one sends out, the more one can gather a strand of blessings, which adds vitality to resist disease and face danger.

Therefore, the vital energy between people differs.

"Moreover—— moreover—— moreover——"

In the midst of speaking, the locomotive came into view.

No matter how reluctant, grandfather and grandson had to say goodbye.

Lu Mingyuan, who had been silent as a ghost all the way, finally spoke up: "Manman, take good care of yourself; from now on, Dad will send you pocket money every month."

Shen Man finally gave him a proper look—how had he become so wan just like that?

No way, this person can't collapse; she still hopes he'll torment the stepmother together in regret.

"Mm, thanks, Dad."

"Dad, you also need to take good care of yourself."

Otherwise, how would you have the energy to fight the stepmother behind the scenes?

"Grandpa's health is poor; he can't get angry, so you should indulge him more."

This is your father; if you're not filial, heaven will strike you with thunder.

"Although Aunt Zhang and Sister Manman have done me wrong, things are already like this; I hope the household stays harmonious and I don't want to pursue who's right or wrong."

It's to remind you, by squeezing in a comment, that you also wronged your biological daughter, to make you feel guilty for life.

"Once I see my brother, I'll talk to him properly and ask him not to blame you."

Fat chance! Just watch her nag the scummy father and stepmother to death!

By then, the siblings will have settled on Sea Island, brought Grandpa over to enjoy his twilight years, and left the scummy father and stepmother's family of three to panic all day in the storm of public opinion, never finding peace.

Lu Mingyuan heard this, feeling guilty and ashamed for his daughter's great sense of righteousness.

Last night, Zhang Xuemei still blew pillow wind, saying the daughter had returned to take revenge, to drive a wedge between their marital feelings.

He really should have brought her along to see off the daughter, so she could hear how much the daughter considered him!

He thought, he really was wrong.

Back then, even if he had died on a mission, it wouldn't have come to the point of separating from his beloved and marrying a woman he didn't love......

Over the years, he spent most of his time in the study, occasionally returning to the master bedroom; aside from a few drunken occasions when he mistook her for Qingluo, in his conscious state he rarely touched Zhang Xuemei.

No matter how he tried to evade it, he couldn't escape the fact that he was tainted.

So Qingluo never enters his dreams, right?

"All right, Xiao Li, escort Manman onto the car, settle her luggage, then get down."

Old Master Lu couldn't even be bothered to pretend, giving his son a white-eyed glance.

Last night he dreamed of the old woman; the old woman said his yang lifespan was not exhausted, letting him live well, look after his grandsons and granddaughters, and when his time came, she and his daughter-in-law would come to fetch him.

Perhaps because the dream was too sweet, after waking his mood was quite pleasant.

Talk of ghosts and gods involves feudal superstition, which he didn't like to tell his granddaughter; but he had lived an upright life, fearing no ghosts, especially when that ghost was his own late wife—he would be delighted, couldn't be happier.

"Grandpa, take care; once I arrive, I'll often send you telegrams."

Shen Man blinked her eyes, hinting to her grandfather that after she found someone she liked, she would marry quickly, settle down, and then take her grandfather away!

"All right, all right, all right, get on board; the conductor will look out for you—when strangers try to chat you up, don't give them a pleasant face; when danger strikes, shout loudly, cause a disturbance, so bad guys can't just whisk you away......."

Though that's what he said, Old Master Lu still couldn't bear to part with his granddaughter, nagging and admonishing her repeatedly for a good while.

"Mmm~"

Shen Man boarded the train reluctantly; it's not peak season, so aside from batches of Educated Youth heading to the countryside, hardly any ordinary people board, thus it's not like the Spring Festival rush with crowds crushing together.

Brother Li led the way, escorting her all the way to a sleeper car.

There's actually a locked door!

Only leaders are qualified to sit in a carriage of this specification, right?

Grandpa arranged for her to sit in such a carriage; I wonder.....

"Miss Manman, you are the Lu family's only granddaughter, and you're young; the senior leader arranged everything thoroughly so he could feel at ease letting you go out alone."

Li Mingguang smiled, gave a brief explanation, then handed the rope with the keys attached to Miss Manman, and instructed:

"Everything on the train has been taken care of; apart from going to the restroom, you will stay active in the carriage the rest of the time. Three days later, when the train arrives at the destination, Xiu Bai will meet you at the station exit."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Li~"

Shen Man nodded obediently, watched Brother Li leave the carriage, then locked the door from inside.

It seems that at any time, some people just have privileges.

She, too, thanks to her grandfather's influence, enjoyed the convenience of privilege without infringing on others' rights.

She pushed open the window, took off her scarf, and waved at her grandfather——

"Grandfather, goodbye."

"Goodbye."
