Chapter 504: Has something happened—have we been robbed on the road? Chapter 504: Has something happened—have we been robbed on the road? Lü Yun watched the steaming bowl of egg custard in the pot, a warm feeling spreading through her heart. Suddenly remembering something, she whispered, "Aunt, the one thousand yuan I gave you last week—just take it out and use it with your uncle. Don’t always have him going out to do carpentry work. He drinks so much each time, and when he returns in the evening, he’s at risk. This content is the textual material from Chapter 504 of the series 'Rural Beauty 504.' Ha Donglian blew away the rising steam, reached out, took the large bowl, and handed it to Lü Yun, smiling kindly, "My health and your uncle’s are still strong. We’ll earn as much as we can. In a few years, we’ll build a few new tiled houses. When you’re around twenty, I’ll start arranging for your wedding. Hah! You’ll have to make yourselves respectable—make the couple proud—and help me and your uncle welcome a big, healthy grandson early A layer of mist rose in Lu Yun’s eyes as he choked, saying, “Aunt, I’ll earn a great deal of money in the future, so that you and Uncle San can enjoy a comfortable life…” “Stupid child,” Hao Donglian smiled gently, “both you and Uncle San have always believed in you, and we’ve both been waiting for this very day—what’s wrong now? Are you crying?” She paused, then furrowed her brows slightly. “Hold onto your money for the house construction. As for finding a suitable wife for you—Miss Xiaoman is definitely someone I’m particularly fond of. Dan Dan is also quite good. As for Xiao Ying, I think the village chief won’t let her marry you.” After speaking, she shook her head and sighed. “It’s just that we, Aunt and Uncle San, haven’t been very capable.” In Hao Donglian’s heart, even if Miss Xiaoman couldn’t become Lu Yun’s wife, one of Dan Dan or Xiao Ying should surely make it. As for which of the three daughters would eventually become her niece-in-law, Hao Donglian was truly troubled. "Uncle, don't worry about a thing—when the time comes, I'll bring a whole group of very beautiful young women over so you can pick one you like. This is the text content from Chapter 504 of 'Rural Beauty.' "Lu Yun wiped away a tear that wouldn't quite fall, beamed at her warmly, and said, "Let's go have dinner now." "You go ahead, I'll just cook two more dishes—soon I'll be ready." Hao Donglian patted Lu Yun, who now stood taller than her by half a head, and smiled kindly. Knowing Hao's temperament, Lu Yun carried a large bowl of egg custard out of the kitchen. "Where's Auntie San? She hasn't arrived yet," the three women asked in unison as they saw Lu Yun place the full bowl on the table. "Auntie San said she'd prepare two more dishes and come shortly," Lu Yun replied, "so why don't we start eating now?" Ling Xiaoman spoke first, "No, wait—let's have dinner together once Auntie San arrives." Lu Xiaoing and Wei Dan nodded in agreement. Lu Yun had just been thinking the same thing. Since all three girls were so understanding and considerate, he felt genuinely pleased and settled down to listen as they chattered excitedly about various interesting things, occasionally interjecting with a remark that made the three girls giggle softly and joyfully. From time to time, his gaze swept over their faces, and he found himself filled with deep admiration. Ling Xiaoman, of course, was beyond comparison in terms of grace and appearance—few people, in Lu Yun’s eyes, could match her. Xiao Ying was undoubtedly his chosen future wife; he found her simply delightful from the very first glance. Dan Dan, though still a bit reserved and inexperienced, could not conceal the inherent charm and delicate beauty that radiated from within. Soon, Hao Donglian finished cooking the dishes—simple homegrown vegetables from her own yard—and the three women and Lu Yun enjoyed them heartily. Xiao Ying, with her sweet tongue, frequently praised Hao Donglian's cooking, while Dan Dan remained a little shy. Though she visited Lu Yun's home often and was more familiar with the household than Xiao Ying or Hao Donglian, whenever she thought of Lu Yun being right beside her, she felt her cheeks grow warm and her heart race. "Lin Xiaoman giggled," "Not much. My classmate's family runs this business—only recently did I remember it. But I'm not sure if they're still hiring. When I get back to school, I'll try to reach out to my classmate and find out. This content is from Chapter 504 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Ha Donglian nodded eagerly, yet her mind was already calculating: if this indeed came through, combined with her modest savings, she could build a new tiled house within a few years. When the meal was nearly finished, Lu Yun suddenly spoke up, "Xiaoman sister, I need to go out after dinner. I might not be back until the afternoon. Would you mind if I have Aunt San stay with you?" Ha Donglian immediately frowned, "What's going on? What do you need to attend to?" "Something very important," Lu Yun smiled gently. "Let Xiao Ying tell you. I'm full now—I'll leave right away, or else I'll be late." Saying this, she stood up and prepared to leave. "Hey, you stubborn kid! Your sister Ling has only come over for two days a week—instead of staying home and spending time with her, you go off on some wild adventure?" Hao Donglian rose up, ready to intercept Lu Yun as he headed toward the yard. "Three-aunt, just let him go," Lu Xiaoying quickly stood up and said. "I'll explain everything to you later." Ling Xiaoman also stood up, smiling. "Three-aunt, I'll stay home and help you with some chores—get some exercise too." Dan Dan hesitantly added, "Aunt, just let Lu Yun go." In the meantime, Lu Yun had already stepped out of the house. Hao Donglian glanced at her three daughters and shook her head quietly, thinking: "This kid really has it going on! He's already brought home three lively, beautiful girls. I'm sure he'll never have trouble finding a wife in the future." Lu Yun pushed his cart out of the courtyard and headed straight for Iron West Village. On the way, he moved swiftly—within half an hour, he had already covered half the distance. The sky was clear and the breeze gentle. Lu Yun slowed down, glancing at the crops along both sides of the road, while mentally weighing whether or not the medicine developed by Uncle with the thick beard would truly cure his father-in-law's illness. So absorbed was he in thought that, without realizing it, the bicycle's wheels got stuck in a small mud pit. Lu Yun stumbled, the handlebars wobbling wildly, and tumbled to the ground.
