Chapter 43 -43 Lu Family Brothers
“Sure, that makes sense. But man, I do feel really bad about it.”
“However, since Little Lu’s wife came back, she’s really changed a lot.”
A sister-in-law nodded, “Exactly, we all live on the same floor, and seeing how diligent she is every day, the food she cooks smells so good.
Yang Police’s child now has a chubby face, which shows that the pair of them are doing a great job raising the kid.”
“Absolutely, the kids have gotten so smart now. If the couple wasn’t good to them, would the kids be that attached to them?!”
…
As soon as Susu stepped out with the lunchbox, the circle of aunties and young wives downstairs all turned to look at her.
Feeling everyone’s stark gaze, Susu smiled at them, taking it as a way to say hello.
“Is Little Lu’s wife taking food to someone?”
“Yes, aunty.”
“Then you better hurry, Little Lu’s wife, don’t be late.”
Susu nodded, “Alright then, I’ll go ahead, aunties and sisters.”

“Mom, have a bite and then go back to catch up on some sleep.”
Susu gently woke Mrs. Lu up.
“Susu’s here.”
Mrs. Lu rubbed her eyes, still a bit groggy.
Susu didn’t bother Mrs. Lu further and first helped Lu Xiaoting to the bathroom, proficiently helping him inside while she waited at the door.
Thinking that continuing like this wasn’t a solution, if he accidentally fell midway, that would be really bad.
Lu Xiaoting looked down at his small wife’s increasingly red ear tips, puzzled.
“Cough, well, maybe you should stop going to the bathroom, just like everyone else, use a bedpan instead.”
Susu, with her head down, said this directly without looking at him.
The man, caught off guard by Susu’s suggestion, choked up a bit, his face flushing with heat.
“Maybe, maybe not, I’ll just eat and drink less each day.”
On hearing this, Susu immediately looked up and glared at him, “No way.”
She decisively made up her mind without caring about his embarrassment.
Lu Xiaoting moved his lips, horrified at the thought, still wanting to negotiate further with his wife.
Pushing the door open, he saw two familiar figures.
“Brother Lu, Brother Laosan? What brings you guys here?”
“How can you even ask? You got hurt so badly and didn’t even tell me or Laosan. If dad hadn’t called us, we would still be clueless.”
Brother Lu said with a stern face, slightly angry.
Brother Laosan was also somewhat angry, feeling that his second brother didn’t treat them like brothers by not calling about such a major incident. All three brothers were in Provincial City, not far from each other.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly made peace for her second son, “He didn’t want to disturb your work, and besides, he’s got mom and Susu here.”
Seeing his mother and wife vouching for him, Lu Xiaoting quickly nodded.
Looking at the younger brother’s bandaged leg, and hearing their father mention a stab wound to the stomach, the two brothers exchanged a helpless glance.
Brother Lu sighed, “You, you, making things so distant between siblings.”
“That’s right, second brother, this is where you went wrong,” Brother Laosan chimed in.
Beside them, Bai Xiao pinched her husband, “Stop spouting nonsense.”
“Second brother, sister-in-law, don’t listen to his babble.”
Brother Laosan was about to speak but was silenced by a glare from his wife, leaving him sheepishly touching his nose.
“Second, we’ve already discussed it on the way here, and your eldest brother and I will take turns looking after you.”
“Exactly, school’s out for me too, so I have plenty of time. I’ll watch over you most of the time, and Brother Lu can come over when he’s free.”
Susu was somewhat surprised and worried this incident might cause tension between the couple, so she suggested they discuss it with their family before deciding.
Bai Xiao adjusted her glasses and smiled gently, “It’s fine, Sister-in-law. School is out, and we have plenty of time.”
Seeing that Brother Lu and his brother insisted, Susu didn’t say anything more. After all, the person lying in the bed was their own sibling and it was more convenient for men to look after each other.
Finally, after some discussion, it was decided that the three members of the Lu Family would take turns staying by the bedside, while Susu would take care of cooking and delivering meals.

“Why did you come back so late? The kids and I were getting hungry.”
Jiang Nan frowned unhappily and complained.
Brother Lu always brought meals from the cafeteria home, but today he had forgotten about it because of his younger brother’s situation.
“Haven’t eaten yet?”
Before Jiang Nan could reply, Brother Lu quickly rode his bike out to buy food.
Watching his two children devour their food, Brother Lu’s brows furrowed and he explained the afternoon’s events.
Hearing this, Jiang Nan slammed her chopsticks down on the table and wiped her mouth.
“Isn’t Lu Laosan enough? You don’t need to go. What will the kids and I eat if you do?”
“Snap—”
Brother Lu slapped the table.
“Lu Huaize, what are you doing? You startled me,” Jiang Nan said, patting her chest, clearly annoyed.
Seeing the children looking somewhat frightened, Brother Lu softened his tone.
“He’s my own brother and as the eldest, it’s my duty to contribute financially and physically. And as for you—”
“You still want to spend money?”
Upon hearing about money, Jiang Nan immediately stood up and glared down at him.
“Over my dead body. If you insist on looking after your brother, then I might as well go back to my mother’s home.”
Brother Lu frowned. His wife was usually noisy, but she had never taken this kind of attitude before. Offended, he stayed silent.
“Fine, fine! Go with your brothers then.”
Seeing her husband actually turning his face away from her, Jiang Nan stormed out angrily.
Brother Lu felt both angry and helpless, worried that his wife might really leave and something might happen, so he quickly comforted his daughters and asked a neighboring aunt to watch over them while he went after her.
From a distance, Brother Lu watched Jiang Nan’s furious figure, feeling a headache come on as he discreetly ensured she safely reached her parents’ home.
With no choice, he left his children temporarily in the neighbor’s care and rushed to the hospital.
The neighbor sighed as she looked at the two little girls with sad faces, wondering how such a loving couple had started arguing. In this Family Court, no one doted on his wife like Brother Lu did.
Hospital
Lu Xiaoting looked at his worn-out elder brother and frowned.
“Brother, if you need to use the bathroom, just call me and I’ll bring the bedpan.”
Lu Xiaoting: “…”
“Mom, can’t you see why I’m upset?”
Jiang Nan leaned on the bed, her face sullen as she complained nonstop to her mother until her mouth went dry, grabbed the tea mug beside her, and looked down to see the dark, dirty mug which she immediately tossed aside.
“Oh, how disgusting.”
Her mother rolled her eyes and told her daughter-in-law to clean the mug quickly.
“You might as well stay at your mother’s home,” her mother advised, “wait until Huaize comes to pick you up before returning. You have to firmly grasp your man at once…”
Hearing her mother’s words, Jiang Nan’s eyes brightened, and she nodded.
“Hmpf! Let him be worried to death.”
“Exactly, that’s the way!”
Her mother squinted her eyes and fueled the fire with a long rant.
