After hearing Luo Yu's account of the original owner's story, the women were so angry they wanted to storm the Luo family right then and there to demand justice for Luo Yu.

"This is outrageous! How could they do such a thing?"

"Are these their biological parents? Could Xiao Luo have been adopted by them?"

"They don't deserve to be parents. How could they treat their child like that?"

"What's wrong with girls? Are girls just meant to be bullied?"

"I think it's because the Luo family has twins causing trouble. Little Luo is an only child and doesn't have any twin brothers or sisters, so they bully him."

"She's not a twin, and it wasn't her fault, so why are you bullying her like this?"

"This is outrageous! I'm so angry I'm about to have a heart attack."

"Poor Luo, she finally grew up and found a job, but she has to give it up and go to the countryside in place of her second sister. How could they be so naive?"

"With Luo's small frame, how can he possibly come back after going to the countryside? I think he'll probably die there in less than two months."

"Life in the countryside is tough; Xiao Luo's body can't handle it."

"Xiao Luo is strong enough. If it were any other girl, she would probably be in the countryside by now."

……

Several middle-aged women chimed in, defending Luo Yu. After they had said their piece, they all advised Luo Yu not to take it to heart. Since she had left that home, she should live a good life. Once she married Xi Beizhan and had her own little family, her family wouldn't matter much to her anymore.

Luo Yu naturally agreed.

"It was because I wanted to completely break away from that family that I quickly agreed when Xi Beizhan suggested dating him."

Fortunately, I had good judgment; Xi Beizhan is a good person. Otherwise, if I had met that treacherous wolf, my life would have been ruined.

Aunt Liu laughed and slapped the table, "That's right, Captain Xi is really good, and Xiao Luo, you're really lucky. Although you suffered a bit in the past few years, your good days are yet to come."

Aunt Zhao quickly chimed in, "That's right. The hardships you endure when you're young aren't the real hardships. The real blessing is enjoying life when you're old. Xi Beizhan is a good kid. Your good fortune is yet to come."

Aunt Hu patted Luo Yu's hand and said, "After you get married, live a good life. You have to work hard to make your own good life. If you treat him well, he will never let you down."

Captain Xi has a military background, so his character is definitely impeccable. As long as you're devoted to him, he'll cherish you for the rest of your life.

Aunt Zhang cheerfully poured Luo Yu a glass of water and handed it to her, saying, "Warm hands mean someone cares. It doesn't matter if your parents don't care, you're not going to spend your whole life with them anyway. As long as your man cares for you, that's enough. After all, he's the one you'll spend your life with."

Luo Yu listened attentively to the wise words spoken by the older women and carefully kept them in her heart.

These ladies have lived to such an advanced age and experienced so much. There's a reason why they can now have harmonious families, loving husbands and wives, and filial children. Learning from them will benefit you immensely.

A good or bad marriage is something you have to work on. If you don't put in the effort, who will be willing to put in the effort for you every day?

Only when you put your heart into it and treat marriage as a beautiful painting to be written, will you find true happiness.

Luo Yu reflected on her time with Xi Beizhan and realized that she had been too dramatic at times. She should be bold in expressing her love, careful in showing affection, and have a little temper, but not too much, in order to hold onto his heart.

Seeing that Luo Yu seemed lost in thought and remained silent for a long time, the group of middle-aged women exchanged glances, sighed, and quietly dispersed.

I've tried everything I can to persuade her. I hope she can come to terms with it and not get married with negative emotions, otherwise it won't be good for her future married life.

Director Xu arrived shortly after. "Everyone's here, that's perfect. Let me tell you, as the year draws to a close, the mine is responsible for helping elderly people living alone, and our Women's Federation and Trade Union will be in charge together. Xiao Luo will compile the information materials for those elderly people living alone from last year in a little while, and we can just follow that."

Luo Yu nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go get the documents from the union now."

After Luo Yu finished speaking, she quickly ran to the union and got the materials from the union chairman. When she returned, Xi Beizhan and a tall man were standing at the door of the Women's Federation office, ready to knock.

"Why are you here? Is everything alright at the security office?"

Xi Beizhan turned around when he heard Luo Yu's voice and gave her a pleasant smile.

"Come over here and let me introduce you to someone. This is Xiao Wei, one of my security guards. I just found out that his father and my father were comrades-in-arms. From now on, he's my brother. Bring him to meet you, his sister-in-law."

Luo Yu shifted her gaze to the right, and was startled when she saw Xiao Wei's appearance.

She remembered this person; he was the one who had risked his life to stop the group of people who were bullying Xi Beizhan, and he was the leader of them.

Unexpectedly, he had a close relationship with Xi Beizhan.

Thinking back to her foolish behavior, Luo Yu awkwardly forced a smile at Xiao Wei, "Hello."

Xiao Wei stood upright, looking at Luo Yu intently, "Sister-in-law."

He remembered this woman; her petite figure insisted on blocking Xi Beizhan's way, and her long-winded speech gave him a headache.

Seeing that Xi Beizhan and Xiao Wei showed no sign of leaving, Luo Yu couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else? You still have work to do."

Xi Beizhan glanced at Xiao Wei, but the guy didn't move and didn't even give him a look, so he naturally didn't understand what he meant.

Xi Beizhan was helpless.

He just wants to talk to his wife alone for a couple of minutes, why is that so difficult?

No wonder Uncle Hao said he was a bit slow; he really was.

"What's for lunch?"

Luo Yu blinked. "Didn't my second aunt bring me food?"

What's wrong with this person? They forgot about what happened this morning so quickly?

Luo Yu had no idea that Xi Beizhan was just making conversation; in reality, he just wanted to be close to his wife, even if it was just for a moment.

But with an iron tower right next to him, it was inconvenient for him to do anything.

Xi Beizhan was annoyed and nodded, "I forgot, then I'll get the food and come find you at noon."

Luo Yu thought for a moment, then waved her hand, "It seems like that won't work. I might have to go out at noon."

Xi Beizhan was taken aback. "You guys are still on duty in this freezing weather?"

Luo Yu shook her head. "It's nothing serious. The mine manager has handed over the task of helping elderly people living alone to us and the labor union. We'll probably have to visit them one by one this afternoon."

I took a look, and there are quite a few elderly people living alone who are being helped by the mine. It probably won't be enough to finish in one afternoon; we'll likely have to start around noon.

Luo Yu frowned slightly, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Shouldn't you bring things when visiting elderly people living alone?"

Luo Yu tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Maybe?"

Xi Beizhan's eyes lit up even more. "It's almost the end of the year, how can we not bring something to visit? We definitely have to bring something."

You women from the Women's Federation probably can't carry all that stuff, but that's okay, we've got the security department here.

"Our security department is full of men, so they'll leave this little task to us."

Xi Beizhan was overjoyed to have found an excuse to spend time with his wife and cultivate their relationship; his smile stretched almost to his ears.
