Chapter 136: Auntie’s Headscarf
“Then, what’s wrong with me calling you an old hoodlum, hm?”
The girl’s tone was utterly intimidating, and her cold eyes were like poison.
“You, you…”
The woman was so scared that she stepped back. Seeing that no one came forward to help her, she simply sat down and started flailing. “Ahhh, help!
“God, is there no law in this world?!
“My son was murdered. There was no compensation, and we let it be, but I don’t even know where his body is. The murderer is also still on the loose. I’m already so old yet I’m being scolded by this little girl. God, god, who will help me seek justice…”
The woman sat on the ground and wailed and screamed.
From time to time, she would wipe her tears. Everyone around her was already tearing up.
“Isn’t this auntie too pitiful?”
“This girl is so ruthless!”
“The Lu siblings are too hateful!”
Everyone looked at them with disdain.
Lu An was completely fearless, and even felt that it was a little laughable.
She didn’t know if she was seeing things, but it seemed like the woman had glanced at her smugly?
Heh!
“Alright, stop making a scene here. Take it as accumulating karma for your deceased son.
“I’ll investigate this matter. If I find out that it really was my brother who caused it, I’ll be the first to send him in. You don’t have to kick up a fuss here.
“Of course, if I find out it had nothing to do with my brother —
“You, and all of you, be careful.”
The girl’s cold voice rang out as her cold eyes swept over the woman and everyone around her.
Saying that, she completely ignored them. She turned around and walked over to her little Fifth Brother. “Brother, let’s go!”
The little girl tugged at her brother’s sleeve with slender fingers. Her bright eyes were filled with comfort and she smiled sweetly.
Little Fifth Brother had a stumped expression on his face, and he didn’t move for a long time. Tears even welled up in his bloodshot eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Lu An didn’t quite understand. She tugged at his sleeve again.
“Oh!”
Little Fifth Brother finally moved and hurried to catch up with his little sister.
He clearly wanted to cry, but the corners of his lips curled up proudly.
Stinky Little Sister actually spoke up for him! This fool!
The woman wouldn’t give up. Unfortunately, before she could say any more, Lu An fired back at her again.
In the end, she could only watch the siblings leave. The woman looked at the onlookers and started wailing again.
…
“Erm, why do you believe me?”
On the way back, little Fifth Brother couldn’t help but ask the question. When he thought about what happened before…
Forget it; it was better not to think about it.
“I just do!”
Little Sister’s expression was sweet and didn’t contain any doubt at all.
With Big Brother before, her faith in him might have been the blind sort, but It was different with little Fifth Brother.
For example, when Hu Jiaqian had provoked and slandered him earlier, a normal person probably wouldn’t have been able to hold back and would have rushed forward to hit her. However, little Fifth Brother hadn’t. He could still argue with her without batting an eyelid; how could Lu An not believe him?
Although he looked proud and a little childish, he was clearly a big brother with principles.
The little girl’s face grew even sweeter. She couldn’t help but tug at the auntie’s headscarf he was still wearing, and asked curiously, “Why do all of you like to wear this?”
Third Brother had worn this before?
Chapter 137: Don’t Tell Me You Really Did It?
“Oh, it was for protection against bees when I was young.”
Little Fifth Brother was a little embarrassed, but still said truthfully, “At that time, Dad threw all of us into the forest on the outskirts of South City. Big Brother wanted to get some honey, but was stung. Second Brother then went, but was also stung. In the end, it was Third Brother who thought of this solution.
“After that, this became a bragging point for Third Brother, but…
“Big Brother and Second Brother still ignored him, haha!”
As little Fifth Brother spoke, he inexplicably couldn’t help but laugh, as if he was recalling some scene.
“Is that so?”
Lu An couldn’t help but laugh as well. She imagined Big Brother and Second Brother wearing headscarves too. It was inexplicably hilarious!
Suddenly, she recalled something, and said, “So, when all of you were young, Dad actually threw you into a forest?
“Didn’t you grow up with your former little sister?”
“Mm, I guess.”
Little Fifth Brother nodded and answered truthfully, “It was just that Mom died after giving birth to you, right?
“At that time, the family was in a mess. I heard that in a fit of anger, Dad bundled us up and threw the five of us into the forest, while he stayed at home to take care of… that former little sister.
“Initially, he even found us a few bodyguards, who took care of us for roughly more than a year. After that, for some reason, all of them suddenly ran away one day, and didn’t even want their pay.”
Thinking about it now, little Fifth Brother still couldn’t understand it.
Speaking of which, he had quite liked those bodyguards. Although he was still young back then and didn’t remember much, he vaguely felt that they had been pretty good to him.
“Is that so?”
Lu An couldn’t help but laugh. Perhaps it was because the five of you tormented Dad? Looking at you now, I can imagine how mischievous you would have been.
“Then, what happened after that? How long did you guys stay there?”
In the end, however, her heart still ached a little. It must have been tough to be thrown into a place like that at such a young age.
“Oh, about five or six years? Or seven or eight years?
“I don’t really remember.
“But, when we came back…”
Little Fifth Brother spoke without thinking, then fumbled his words before he said vaguely. “That, then…”
“Then what?”
Little Sister was dumbfounded. She didn’t understand. She wanted to hear more!
Little Fifth Brother couldn’t take it anymore. “Then nothing!
“Little kids shouldn’t ask too many questions, understand?”
Saying that, he patted her head.
“Alright then.” You’re a big kid!
Lu An gave him some face and didn’t ask further. She then recalled what had happened earlier and said, “Then, what that person said just now, that matter…”
Lu An was a little worried that she would pull down little Fifth Brother’s mood.
Unexpectedly, little Fifth Brother answered seriously, “Outside of my family, he’s my best friend.”
“Oh, is that so?” Then…
Little Sister’s voice turned careful, as if afraid that he would blame her. Little Fifth Brother found it a little funny and rapped her on the head. “What are you doing? You’re not the one who did anything wrong.”
“No, I was…” Worried about hurting you.
Before Lu An could finish speaking, little Fifth Brother said, “Actually, it’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have…”
Tears welled up in the young man’s eyes, but he refused to shed them.
Lu An’s heart ached a little, and she comforted him gently. “Alright, how should I put it? There will always be times when things don’t go as planned.
“Although I don’t dare imagine it, but…
“Don’t tell me you really did it?”
Chapter 138: Already Found Out
Little Sister’s expression suddenly changed. She was so serious and puzzled. He had clearly still been feeling moved, but little Fifth Brother was instantly furious. He immediately roared, “Of course not! To even harm my own friend; am I an idiot?”
“Mm…”
Lu An really wanted to say yes heartlessly, but she was worried that it would make a certain brother depressed. In the end, she still said gently, “Then isn’t that fine?
“Your conscience is clear. We can’t prevent sudden accidents or disasters, but in the end… everything will get better, right?
“I remember there’s a saying: Pain and suffering are temporary, happiness is eternal, right?” Just like her; she finally arrived in front of them after traversing so much darkness.
When she was suffering, who would have thought that happiness would be waiting for her here?
From now on, if it could help her endure, there was no harm in dwelling on it a little, right?
Little Sister’s sweet little face was so warm and bright as she stared at him. There was blind confidence in her gaze, but it inexplicably warmed his heart. Her soft little hand patted his back gently.
Little Fifth Brother couldn’t help but be touched, but he also found it funny. He glared at her arrogantly and said, “Do you know that you’re very stupid?”
“I… Huh?”
Lu An didn’t understand. People had always said that she was smart, because those who said that she was stupid had already…
The little girl was about to clench her fists, when her brother said, “It’s just that no normal person would choose a family like ours.”
Although that family had been exaggerating when they said that even beggars on the road wouldn’t go near their place, when you thought about it carefully, it seemed that was the case, given their current family situation.
“Then, maybe, I’m special?
“It doesn’t have to be that I’m stupid. Can’t it be because I can see how good you are?”
Little Sister suddenly pouted, as if she was hoping that he would take back his comment about her being stupid.
A certain fifth brother couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing how cute his little sister looked, as if she was about to cry aggrievedly, his eyes darkened, and he subconsciously opened his thin lips. “Little Sister.”
It was said very, very lightly, like a strand of hair, and it sounded slightly hoarse.
Even though his voice was really soft, Lu An still heard it. She couldn’t help but laugh and say smugly, “What did you call me just now?”
“W- what?
“Nothing!”
Little Fifth Brother immediately turned around haughtily. He was the man who was the hardest to deal with in the Lu family!
Mm! That was right, that was right!
She hadn’t taken him down!
“Sit properly and hold on tight!”
It was a cold and heartless voice, like a machine giving out orders, but it was clearly arrogant and cute.
“Oh~”
Lu An listened obediently and said, “Brother, let’s buy some groceries on the way back? And a helmet at the same time?
“You’ll be discovered with this disguise sooner or later.”
His little sister tugged at his headscarf and spoke naughtily, her words carrying more than one meaning.
“I got it!”
A certain brother sounded even more impatient.
A certain little sister took the opportunity to say, “Then you can move back in. Otherwise, meals and sending me up and down will be troublesome.”
Little Sister smiled sweetly, like she was going to eat him.
Little Fifth Brother was somehow annoyed, but still answered obediently, “I got it!”
The eye-catching motorbike rumbled and flew forward. No one noticed that the tears in the young man’s wet eyes had dried.
Heh! Stinky Little Sister, big idiot!
