Hometown Beauty Chapter 690 – Main Text Chapter 690 – Staying Overnight Zhao Kai had once told himself that the scar-faced man had arranged everything, and that Wang Heihu would no longer bother him. But now, looking at the current situation, it seemed Wang Heihu had absolutely no intention of letting him go. This content is the text from Chapter 690 of Hometown Beauty. He carefully examined Hao Donglian and noticed she had no visible injuries, which eased Zhuyun’s mind. Yet, Hao Donglian’s next words sent a sudden shock through Zhuyun, who fixed her with intense, steady gaze. “Uncle, you just said that Uncle was stabbed? How serious is the injury?” Hao Donglian’s eyes glistened, tears threatening to fall. But seeing the worried expressions of the children around her, she managed a strong smile. “Thankfully, it’s not severe. He’s already been treated and bandaged at the village clinic.” Zhuyun suddenly released Hao Donglian’s arm and took off running toward his home. Breathless, Lu Yun kicked open the door and rushed inside. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his uncle, Zhao La San, half-sitting on a chair, still slightly drunk, holding the rustic gun in his hands. Lu Yun approached carefully and called out to him, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, wake up." Having drunk a pound of white wine alone, Zhao La San was now fast asleep. Suddenly hearing someone calling his name, he struggled to open his eyes, his tongue thick with drowsiness, and said, "Little... Little Yun, you've come back, haven't you? Where's your wife?" Lü Yun watched his uncle’s bandages wrapped around his ribs and couldn’t hold back the tears, choking out, “My aunt is coming from behind soon—she’ll be right back. It’s all my fault, I’ve hurt you so badly.” Zhao Lao San chuckled, “You’ve grown up, haven’t you? Always bringing trouble to me. After all these years of being a quiet, unassuming man, I’ve finally got my moment of glory today—three of you boys have given me quite a beating! But there’s one thing I need to tell you clearly, Yun. Whenever you encounter any matter outside the village, you must come back and let me and your aunt know. Do you understand? If it hadn’t been for my timely return, your aunt would have been seriously harmed by those three brats. With her temper, if she’d truly been hurt, could she have survived at all? This content is from Chapter 690 of the novel 'Rural Beauty.'” Zhao Lao San’s words struck Lü Yun like a thunderclap. He stared at him, eyes blazing with fury, asking, “Uncle, what did they do to my aunt?” Old Zhao III glanced at Lu Yun drowsily and said, "Don't worry. They didn't succeed. I just happened to return in time. If it had been a minute later, your third aunt's reputation would have been at stake." Lu Yun hadn't expected the matter to unfold this way. He had assumed that with his participation in Zhao Kai's gathering of distinguished guests and with the scar-faced man handling affairs in the county, everything would have settled quietly. He hadn't anticipated that Wang Heihu, the scar-faced man, would come all the way to his own doorstep to harass his uncle and aunt. To protect his family from trouble, Lu Yun had revealed the name of his school but had kept the name of his village secret. Since Zhao Kai had promised not to trouble him, the scar-faced man had no reason to pursue him. So why had someone come to his home to seek vengeance? Lu Yun couldn't figure out where exactly the mistake had occurred, but he was certain that the person who had stabbed his uncle was one of Wang Hehǔ's subordinates. Aside from Wang Hehǔ, Lu Yun had no grudges against anyone in the county. This matter would have to be discussed with Zhao Kai after he returned to school! As he was still furious, Hao Donglian and Ling Xiaoman entered the room. Seeing Lu Yun kneeling half-sitting beside his uncle, Lu Xiaoying quickly approached, checked the wound on Zhao Lao San's ribs that had been bandaged, and asked with concern, "Uncle Zhao, are you feeling better now?" Zhao Lao San chuckled and replied, "Xiaoying, I'm fine. You all just sit here—let me go to the inner room and rest a while." After having been kept up for so long, Zhao Lao San was truly tired and staggered to his feet, then walked into the inner room. Lu Yun wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhao Lao San, who said vaguely, "Xiaoyun, go tell your aunt what exactly you've gotten into trouble about outside." Ha Donglian took over from Lu Yun, helping her husband into the bedroom and then came to the outer room to sit with Lu Yun and the others, saying, "Xiao Yun, tell Aunt what really happened—how did you end up causing trouble with people from the county?" Lu Yun lowered her head and gave a detailed account of the situation involving Liu Tingting. After finishing, Ha Donglian nodded thoughtfully, "Xiao Yun, you've done the right thing. Just be careful when you're at school—what if they come to the school to find you?" Ha Donglian sighed deeply—these days, it's hard to be a good person; you often end up upsetting people you didn't mean to. Lu Yun reassured her, "Aunt, I'm not too worried. If they come to the school to see me, I'll certainly know how to handle it. But Uncle often isn't at home. What if something like today happens when you're alone at home?" Ha Donglian blushed, knowing that her husband had already told Lu Yun about today's events, and said with a slightly hesitant tone, "I've kept your uncle from going out to work these days. I'll wait a bit longer and see how things go. If everything turns out fine, I'll then send him out." Lu Yun nodded, clearly seeing that there was little else he could do. Turning to Si Ma Xinrou, he said, "Miss Xinrou, there's been a little issue at home. I'll take you home early today." Hearing this, Si Ma Xinrou pouted, saying, "I can't just leave now. If there's a problem at home, how can I walk away without doing anything? I'll stay with the third aunt. I'll take the bus from the village entrance tomorrow morning and go straight to school." Ha Donglian also expressed her concern, looking at Si Ma Xinrou and saying, "Xinrou, you should go back first. Who knows when those people might return..." "Third aunt, both Xiao Man and I can stay here, so why can't I? Please don't make me leave!" Si Ma Xinrou said with a touch of coquettish insistence. Hao Donglian glanced at Lu Yun, noticing that Lu Yun had made no response. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Xiaoying interrupted, saying, "Uncle, let Xinrou stay overnight. Have her move in with me and Xiao Man. Dan Dan will also stay at my place today. I myself find the big cot quite stuffy—having all of us together will be a great chance to chat and catch up." "Alright," Lu Yun nodded reluctantly, agreeing. Si Ma Xinrou burst into excitement, though her gaze toward Lu Yun flickered slightly, as if she had something to say to him—yet Lu Yun was currently preoccupied with the matter of Wang Heihua and hadn't noticed the subtle shifts in Si Ma Xinrou's expression. As the conversation flowed, it was already evening. Hao Donglian went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Si Ma Xinrou, Dan Dan, and Ling Xiaoman all followed her into the kitchen to help. Only Lu Xiaoying and Lu Yun remained in the living room. ... Rural Beauty 690, Main Text 690 – Updated for overnight stay!
