Pushing open the door to the outer room, I saw that it had started snowing heavily outside. The yard was covered with a layer of silver carpet, which crunched underfoot, quite relaxing.

The snow had just fallen, and there wasn't much snow on the ground yet. Xi Beizhan was afraid that Luo Yu would slip and fall, so he held her hand tightly as they left the Luo family's courtyard.

Luo Yu turned around and looked at the Luo family members, "Go back, don't see me off. Remember what I said, if you can't help, don't hold me back. I can only be good if you are good. If you want to live a good life for a long time in the future, then don't be reckless."

Mr. Luo, representing the entire Luo family, quickly nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, we all remember it and won't forget. Fifth brother, don't take today's matter to heart. As for your third sister... well, it's all in the past. In a few days, it will be Dad's birthday. I'll ask your eldest and second brothers to come over to your place when they have time. See if you can come back and celebrate Dad's birthday with him."

Luo's father spoke with a humble tone and expression, and looked at Luo Yu with hope in his eyes.

Without a second thought, Luo Yu nodded and smiled, "Of course I have to come back. Dad only celebrates his birthday once a year, how could I not come back? People would laugh at me if word got out!"

She can't not come back. If people find out and it gets out, it will damage her reputation. She's in the prime of her career, a crucial time for promotion, and she can't afford any mistakes.

It's just a matter of two bottles of wine; if that doesn't work, I can throw in a pack of cigarettes.

I'll go to Uncle Chang's place tomorrow before I go to work. It's almost Chinese New Year, so he'll definitely have some cigarettes. I'll get a cheap pack to keep for now. I don't need anything else. Anyway, Xi Beizhan won't need any for the time being. I'll let Uncle Chang and Uncle Hao save up and get some later.

Unbeknownst to Secretary Chang and Mine Manager Hao, Luo Yu had already set her sights on them, planning to take advantage of her after she gave birth.

Xi Beizhan put Luo Yu on the back of the bicycle and pushed it home. Once they were out of the Luo family's sight, Xi Beizhan turned around and kissed Luo Yu on the cheek when no one was around.

Luo Yu looked around first, and seeing that no one was watching, wiped her face and said guiltily in a low voice, "What are you doing? If someone sees us, we'll talk about it when we get home."

Xi Beizhan laughed and said, "My wife is really impressive today, I couldn't resist!"

Luo Yu playfully slapped Xi Beizhan's arm lightly, "Just call me a tigress! Hurry up, it's snowing, you'll catch a cold if you keep getting cold."

"Didn't you take cold medicine? That medicine works, one pill is enough."

Speaking of this, Xi Beizhan couldn't help but marvel at the power of Luo Yu's Qiankun Treasure Bag. One pill was enough to work, and there was no need to take a second one. This was the first time he had ever seen such a miraculous medicine.

It's a pity that it can't be handed over to the state for research; otherwise, if it could be promoted nationwide, how much suffering would be saved for ordinary people!

The immense benefits were known only to them, and only the couple truly benefited. Deep down, Xi Beizhan was quite pleased.

Humming a little tune as he pushed his cart, Xi Beizhan carefully made his way home, afraid that Luo Yu might slip and fall on the snow.

When the two arrived home, it was only a little past three in the afternoon. They were covered in snowflakes. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they started brushing off the snow. When Heidou saw them return, he pushed open the door of the outer room and rushed over to them.

First, he pounced on Luo Yu, whimpering as he let Luo Yu pet his head for a long time before finally walking to Xi Beizhan's side, squinting his eyes to let him pet him.

But he only let Xi Beizhan touch him a couple of times as a formality, then turned around and left, following Luo Yu into the outer room.

Aunt Xi was filling a thermos with boiling water when she saw the two of them return so early. She asked in surprise, "Why are you back so early? Did you get into a fight?"

Aunt Xi Er shoved the kettle into Aunt Xi Da's arms, who had come out to look, and anxiously looked at the two of them.

Aunt Xi was suddenly shoved with a water bottle, almost burning her hand. She glared at Aunt Xi and resignedly continued filling the bottle.

Luo Yu raised his chin triumphantly, "We fought, we won! A bunch of cowards, still daring to talk back to me."

Luo Yu then held up three fingers, "Three matches played, all won!"

Aunt Xi and Aunt Xi looked at Luo Yu in surprise, their lips twitching.

No wonder he's so smug; winning three games in a row is something else.

Then the two sisters' eyes lit up, and Aunt Xi grabbed Luo Yu and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

As they talked, they walked into the house. Aunt Xi quickly handed the pot to Xi Beizhan and followed him inside.

Xi Beizhan took the kettle and resignedly filled it with cold water, then started boiling water.

Guan Daqiang finished his midnight shift today and woke up. He was holding and soothing his grandson, Xiao Guoqing. When he saw Luo Yu come in, he looked up with a smile, glanced at Luo Yu from head to toe, and seeing that Luo Yu was alright and didn't seem to have suffered any loss, he was relieved and continued to soothe his grandson.

After taking off his shoes and sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), Luo Yu began to boast with great enthusiasm.

Luo Yu blew for half an hour before finally stopping.

Aunt Xi and Aunt Xi understood as well. To put it bluntly, Luo Yu was using Luo Mei's insults as a pretext to settle scores and, incidentally, give the Luo family a warning to behave themselves.

After hearing this, Aunt Xi slapped her thigh and laughed, "I like this personality, just like me."

Aunt Xi rolled her eyes. "How come I can't follow your example? What's your surname? Xiao Luo's surname is Luo. He's a good kid who can stand on his own two feet. He didn't get carried away and recklessly seek benefits for his family just because he's received attention from above."

Xiao Luo, you did the right thing. You needed to be reprimanded, otherwise it could cause trouble and be detrimental to your future promotion.

If the Luo family were good people, it wouldn't be unreasonable to lend a hand, but it seems they've become somewhat greedy.

But we can't condemn them all at once. Let's wait and see. If they behave themselves in a few years, you can come up with a solution or offer some advice. That might not be a bad idea.

But we need to be careful not to get ourselves into trouble.

Luo Yu smiled and hugged Aunt Xi's arm, "Don't worry, Aunt, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing that Luo Yu had taken it to heart, Aunt Xi smiled and patted Luo Yu's hand, "It's good that you know what's going on. The only thing I'm worried about is that you'll get entangled with the Luo family. If they really go all out, don't be afraid. Our Xi family isn't one to be easily manipulated."

"We have two young men; let him handle it."

Xi Beizhan was used to being pushed out to sell again by Aunt Xi Er, and he just nodded and smiled.

Aunt Xi smiled as she watched Luo Yu and her sister get close. She wasn't jealous at all; she just felt that life was truly comfortable now. The family was harmonious and could discuss things together. The elders gave advice to the younger ones, and the younger ones were filial and considerate. This was the kind of life a person should live.

Aunt Xi is very satisfied with her current life.

After chatting with Aunt Xi and Aunt Xi for a while, Aunt Xi started to tell them to leave.

"Your house is all heated up, and there's hot water on the stove. Go back and take a good shower. Fill a hot water bottle tonight. It's snowing outside, and it's sure to snow tonight. Second son, be careful not to wake up too loudly in your sleep, and keep an eye on the fire in the stove."

Xi Beizhan agreed and led Luo Yu and Hei Dou, the three of them, back to the next house.
