Lu Chengxue's expectations for her parents collapsed in an instant, and tears fell from her eyes. She looked at the two people who supported each other and climbed up, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dad and Mom, have you ever thought about what will happen to your daughter in the future?"

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and after a long while, Father Lu endured the pain and spoke: "Cheng Xue, it is your parents who are sorry for you, but your brother is still young and cannot be left without someone to take care of him. And your grandfather is sick at this time, you have to consider him too. Have you forgotten that your grandfather loves you very much?"

Lu Chengxue smiled bitterly: "Cheng Xue knows that I have suffered for you this time, just to repay your kindness in raising me. From now on, Cheng Xue will have nothing to do with you, no involvement, no ties. I wish you all the best in this life."

With one kowtow, everyone understood the meaning of her words. She wanted to sever ties with the Lu couple.

There was an uproar at the scene. You know, if the unmarried boy and girl left home, they would be left without support and reliance. If there were some idle hooligans in the village, they would not be able to live a peaceful life.

But then I thought that I would have to go to jail for my parents, and even if I got out my reputation would be ruined. I would not be able to marry into a respectable family if I wanted to. If I continued to have children, I would probably be sold again.

The Lu family's parents were also a little dumbfounded: "You are going to break off your relationship with us, have you ever thought about what to do after you get out?"

Lu Chengxue struggled to stand up and said, "Don't worry about it. From now on, whether I live or die, or become rich or poor, it is all Cheng Xue's own choice."

Lu Zhicheng felt distressed to see his future wife like this and wanted to shield her from the wind and rain. But as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Yan Zhenshen, who shook his head at him.

Those involved are confused. If Lu Zhicheng came out to defend them at this time, Lu's parents would definitely stick to them like a dog-skin plaster if they knew about the unclear relationship between the two. There would be no way they would break off the relationship.

Chu Xiao smiled at Lu Zhicheng, then walked past the people at the door and came to Lu Chengxue: "Can you still bear it?"

"I'm okay."

Chu Xiao nodded, and then looked at Lu's parents: "Miss Lu and I hit it off right away. We are both poor people without parents. From now on, I will be her brother. I will take good care of her and choose a good husband for her, so there is really no need for you to worry."

Lu's mother wanted to throw a tantrum. She felt that the Yan family must have wanted to promise Lu Chengxue to their second son, so they saved the person without informing the public. This was a very good plan.

But after looking at the gloomy face of the county magistrate, he did not dare to speak out his true feelings, fearing that the county magistrate would revoke his order and send him to jail again. He could only nod his head in dismay: "It's over, Lu Chengxue, you take care of yourself."

The county magistrate frowned even more tightly, looked at the Lu family couple coldly, and snorted, "If that's the case, then I will be a witness. From now on, the Lu family and Lu Chengxue will have nothing to do with each other and will be strangers to each other."

"Yes."

"Go back." The county magistrate waved his hand, and the villagers stood up. Having been kneeling for so long, they all looked a little disabled, but no one dared to stay here to recover, so they limped away one by one.

The crowd slowly dispersed, and the punished people were carried away. Only no one was willing to approach the Lu couple, so they could only support each other as they left.

After the crowd had gone far away, Lu Zhicheng bowed deeply to the county magistrate and said, "I would like to trouble you to make this trip today. I will lead the way for you, my lady, to take care of it."

The county magistrate was somewhat puzzled by this gift, but anyone who could sit in this position was a smart man, and he immediately realized what was going on.

He smiled gently: "This is my duty, there is no need for Lord Lu to thank me, Miss Lu should rest more, I will take my leave first."

Lu Xue also bowed and looked at the county magistrate without dodging his gaze: "Cheng Xue's punishment..."

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "There is no punishment. I just want to scare them."

"Thank you, sir." Although he knew that the county magistrate was doing this for Lu Zhicheng's sake, he was still extremely grateful to the county magistrate at this moment.

The county magistrate told her not to be so polite, and then praised the Yan family, saying that they were very righteous and could help others without asking for anything in return. Of course, this also showed that Lu Zhicheng was on good terms with them.

Chu Xiao got goosebumps all over his body after hearing what the county magistrate said, and he didn't retreat until the county magistrate left.

When no one else was around, Lu Chengxue turned around and was about to kneel down before the Yan family, but Chu Xiao quickly pulled her back and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Thank you. Without you, Cheng Xue would have been a lonely soul."

Chu Xiao patted her head gently and said, "Silly girl, as long as you are fine, we won't have to go through all this trouble."

Lu Chengxue nodded, and then looked at Lu Zhicheng shyly: "Thank you, thank you Lord Lu for making the decision for Cheng Xue."

When Lu Zhicheng looked at the girl, his face turned red. He quickly looked away and said in a serious tone, "This is what I should do."

There is no need to explain why it should be done.

This commotion lasted until lunchtime, and Zhao Guizhi said cheerfully, "You all take a break first, I'll go cook. Lord Lu can't leave, so eat at home today."

Lu Zhicheng nodded. To be honest, if this man didn't miss his wife, he wouldn't think too much about it. But once he started thinking about her, he couldn't take his eyes off her and would always glance at the girl intentionally or unintentionally.

Chu Xiao wanted to laugh when he saw this, and deliberately said jokingly: "Uncle, does Grandpa Lu know your plan? Cheng Xue will be my sister in the future, do we have to discuss the six gifts as well?"

Lu Zhicheng nodded seriously: "I will report to my father when I go back, and I will find a matchmaker to discuss the six rituals."

Chu Xiao curled his lips: "I was just saying it casually, why are you in such a hurry? Besides, we haven't asked Cheng Xue if she agrees yet."

When Lu Chengxue was called out, she lowered her head shyly and didn't dare to look at anyone.

How could Chu Xiao let it go so easily? He smiled and asked, "Cheng Xue, what do you say?"

Lu Chengxue blushed, but still responded softly, "Brother Xiao is the boss."

Chu Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll make the decision. Congratulations to my uncle on having a wife and children."

Lu Zhicheng was not angry at being teased, and laughed heartily: "I'll take your good words."

Yan Zhenshen took her husband's hand and squeezed it tightly: "Very good."

Chu Xiao was a little puzzled, then he realized that Yan Zhenshen thought that having a wife and children was great. Now that he already had a wife and children, could it be that his brother Shen also wanted a child?

Thinking about the fact that this man would stare at the paintings of the two little dolls on the wall for a long time every time he came back, I became more certain of this guess.

But when it comes to really having a child, Chu Xiao still feels that she can't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Oh, it’s so depressing.
