Chapter 1486: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1486: Separated for Many Years
The village was desolate; many people left and never returned, but most of them eventually came back to their hometown.
Grandma Lu and Her Husband started building a new house and farming again.
Later, Grandpa Lu visited Xiao Fang's hometown, where they had started rebuilding as well. However, Xiao Fang and her husband never returned, and they remained missing.
Most people believed that they might have perished, but close relatives always held onto a glimmer of hope.
This was true for Grandma Lu and her parents.
Unfortunately, Grandma Lu's parents couldn't bear the pain for long. They had suffered during the escape, and losing their only son weighed heavily on their hearts. They passed away in the third year after Lu Erbai's birth.
After bidding farewell to her brother and parents, Grandma Lu felt sorrowful for a while. Besides her two sons, Xiao Fang, who was missing, was the only relative with whom she had a blood relationship.
Grandma Lu and Xiao Fang were close in age, and their sisterly bond was deep. She couldn't help but miss her.
That was why there were few relatives visiting the Lu family during the New Year. Many people had lost their lives during that flood, and the subsequent epidemic affected the nearby town, leading to more deaths.
For most people in Dong'an Prefecture, that disaster left a deep impression.
Ruan Shi said, "Mother rarely mentioned your aunt, maybe because it pained her to do so. But on rainy days, she sometimes couldn't help but bring up the big flood from the past and talk about your aunt. She always had her in mind, especially now that Aunt Liu has gone. Mother is feeling even more unsettled."
"When all the people from her youth have left one by one—parents, husband, friends, brothers—and now your grandmother, despite having younger generations around her, her heart is still empty, and she feels lonely."
Ruan Shi words left everyone silent.
Among them, Ruan Shi understood the old lady the most.
Although Grandma Lu didn't like Ruan Shi, she still liked talking to her whenever she had something on her mind.
Among the three daughters-in-law, Li Shi would respond superficially but was not interested in hearing about the past. As for Liang Shi, she didn't have the patience to listen to her stories. Only Ruan Shi was a quiet and suitable listener.
Plus, due to her own family reasons, Ruan Shi also admired the close relationship between Grandma Lu's family members and their deep sibling bond.
"Then let's try to find her," Shu Yu suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's contemplation.
"Find her?" Everyone turned to look at her in surprise.
Zhao Xi whispered, "How can we find her? I don't mean to be ominous, but perhaps she is no longer alive. If not, why haven't we heard any news after all these years? Your grandma's address hasn't changed, and they should know it."
Unless the person is no longer alive, how could there be no news at all?
Shu Yu understood that, but...
"Just inquire about it. If we can find any information, that's great. If not, at least we tried, and we won't have any regrets. Doing nothing will leave a knot in our hearts," Shu Yu said firmly.
