Miss from the Countryside, Chapter 606: "The Compassionate Hearts of Parents" Chapter 606: "The Compassionate Hearts of Parents" Thinking this, Lu Yun began to feel a headache. If only he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have let Ma Shufen help him go around looking for a wife last week. Though hurried, Lu Yun didn't slow down at all. When he finally arrived home and pushed open the door, the third auntie had already started eating with Si Ma Xinrou and her family, and Hao Donglian had even poured a bottle of white wine for the four middle-aged men. Lu Yun chuckled, "Xinrou Sister, ever since you've arrived, my status at our household has immediately dropped—this content is from Chapter 606 of the rural beauty series." Upon hearing this, Si Ma Xinrou covered her mouth and smiled gracefully, while her family members couldn't help but laugh as well. Hao Donglian gave him a withering look, "How can this young man speak like this?" Ma Shufen smiled and stood up, saying, "You two go ahead and eat. I have a little matter to attend to with Xiao Yun—let me ask him to eat later." As she spoke, she stepped out and immediately pulled Lu Yun out of the room without further hesitation. "Mǎ Shūfēn waved impatiently. "I know. As soon as your third aunt told me who the young lady was, I knew tonight's plans were ruined. If you don't go, then those young wives will have to settle for my husband." Lù Yún chuckled. "Uncle, you can watch me stand there, making a scene in front of those young wives. If you can manage that, I'll make sure to give you the same treatment tonight—so intense that you won't be able to get out of bed for a whole week." Mǎ Shūfēn had only said this casually, but when Lù Yún provoked her, she immediately retorted, "You're just talking nonsense! Can you really stand there in front of your new wife and make a scene with me? All you do is talk!" Lù Yún shrugged. "Then I'm truly at a loss. Also, that girl isn't my wife yet—please don't go spreading rumors about it outside. If I get excited, I might just end up making your Jinzhī aunt the subject of some serious drama." "Ma Shufen's big mouth, Lu Yun has certainly gotten used to—she not only endured being teased herself, but dared to go and tell Jinzhi! Honestly, that's enough to make one utterly speechless. 'Do I have any say in this? You're looking for a wife, not me for a husband. What am I supposed to do—go around talking nonsense and make you think I'm a chatterbox?' Ma Shufen truly feared that Lu Yun might embarrass Jinzhi. If the village head knew about this, he'd surely hold her accountable as one of Jinzhi's accomplices. Then, with all the ways he'd find to hassle her, how could she possibly endure the rest of her days? 'Then, if that's the case, when you return, just have them go back. In the evening, when it gets dark, my uncle will send two young wives from neighboring villages back. As for whether anything untoward happens on the way—you can't see that either, can you?' Lu Yun spoke with a hint of sharpness, smiling gently at Ma Shufen." Ma Shufen furrowed her brows slightly, realizing that Lu Yun was subtly reminding her. It seemed they wouldn’t be able to send the women back tonight after all—there was still one full day tomorrow, and she certainly didn’t doubt Lu Yun’s availability. She didn’t want to see those two young wives again. The content of this section is from Chapter 606 of "Rural Beauties." But hey, heh, if Miss Sima's flow continues tonight, there won't be any place for her to sleep—giggling! Since the matter between Lu Yun and Miss Sima Xinxiu has been settled, Miss Sima's mother and her uncles and aunts have praised Lu Yun nonstop—highlighting his courage, his willingness to step in when justice is at stake—and Miss Sima has been blushing all the while. Lu Yun, relying on his thick skin, has responded smoothly and gracefully, now even becoming a respected elder in the family. The meal lasted over an hour before the dishes were cleared. While Miss Sima Xinxiu helped with the plates and bowls, her mother called Lu Yun aside, rubbing her hands together as though she had something important to say, yet was hesitant to voice it. Lu Yun, observing the atmosphere, immediately broke the quiet: "Mother, please, say what's on your mind—now that we're no longer strangers." "Mother Xin looked at Lu Yun and spoke gently, 'Little Yun, I know Xiao Rou's body has already been examined and even touched by that person. It's a bit difficult for you to accept her words, isn't it? But Xiao Rou appears gentle and kind on the outside, yet she's actually a stubborn little mule at heart. After being sent home by the man with a big beard, she kept insisting on dying or going mad—there was nothing we could do but come up with this plan. If you truly don't like Xiao Rou, I won't force you. All I ask is that you agree to this for two years. Once her inner fears and anxieties are completely lifted, then you can decide whatever you wish.' How kind and compassionate parents are! Mother Xin's words carried a tone of genuine appeal. Without hesitation, Lu Yun nodded, 'Mother, please rest assured. I know what to do. I just find it a bit unexpected—not that I don't like Xiao Rou. Perhaps in a few years, you'll truly become both my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law's mother-in-law.' "Land Yun's last words sounded a bit off, but to Mother Xinrou, they resonated like heavenly music. She nodded with genuine delight and said continuously, 'Then I'll be reassured.' ...
