His aunt saw his shadow and paused. She stopped and patted her back. “Why don’t you rest for a while? You’ve been busy for the past two days. Don’t neglect your body.”

Lu Wanggui took the broom from her hand and started to sweep the fallen leaves.

The aunt laughed. “Your uncle likes to be clean. Whenever there are fallen leaves at the door, he would go out to sweep them. Sometimes, he would even sweep the trash at the neighbor’s door. I don’t know what he’s thinking. I’ve told him many times, but he didn’t listen.”

She was annoyed at him for this, but after he passed away, she began to take after him.

Lu Wanggui lowered his eyes and subconsciously clenched the broom in his hand. “Uncle has always been very popular.”

The aunt lowered her head. After a long time, she said, “I saw the wreath that Yao Fei sent. Will Xiaoyuan misunderstand?”

“No.” Lu Wanggui’s tone was firm. “She won’t think too much about it.”

“That’s good. Actually Yao Fei has been sending us things all these years. I still remember when you first got married, a lot of people said that you were a good match.” His aunt smiled. “However, your uncle didn’t quite agree with it. That day, he drank too much and kept saying that you wouldn’t be together for long. I even scolded him for saying such bad things. Later, when you got divorced, your uncle sighed and said that you and Yao Fei are both introverted people who don’t express themselves. You keep everything in your heart. If that continues, you’ll have problems.”

The aunt reminisced about the past.

Lu Wanggui listened and said in a low voice, “I was the one who held her back.”

During his marriage with Yao Fei, it was he who had taken more and Yao Fei who had given more. So it was he who had held her back. Fortunately, she had the courage to correct it and found someone who was truly worthy of her.

The aunt patted his arm. “It was a pity that your uncle didn’t see Xiaoyuan. If he did, he would definitely say that the two of you are a good match. However, when the news of your marriage spread, your uncle and I were wondering why you suddenly got married.”

Lu Wanggui had never been perfunctory to his elders, at this time, he explained seriously, “It wasn’t sudden. I only made the decision after considering it for a long time. Do you still remember Uncle Xiang who saved my mother and me at that time? He was Xiaoyuan’s father and had passed away several years ago. Xiaoyuan’s mother was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. From the time they found out until her death was only four months. She was worried that Xiaoyuan would have no one to rely on after her death, so she came to me and hoped that I could help take care of her.”

He did not tell her the whole truth. Things were too complicated, and he was afraid that his aunt would be worried.

Ten months ago, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s mother came to him and told him many things. He still remembered the thin elder who was tortured by her illness. She begged him with a face full of despair. She even wanted to kneel down to him.

She really had no choice. Her daughter had gotten into trouble with someone she shouldn’t have gotten into a relationship with. She had been suffering for the past few years and even had problems socializing normally. She knew her physical condition and knew that she wouldn’t be able to live much longer, so she wanted to find a place for her daughter to live.

Of course, she also had a small hope. She hoped that the family would be more open-minded and let her have a normal life after her daughter got married.

Frankly speaking, Lu Wanggui did not want to agree. He felt that this matter was too absurd. He could use other methods to solve this problem. He could pay for Xiang Xiaoyuan’s mother to see a doctor. However, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s mother did not want that. During that time, Lu Wanggui often dreamed of his mother. Later on, he agreed.

Perhaps it was because Lu Wanggui always looked calm and trustworthy, so his aunt quickly believed his words. She even smiled and asked, “So that’s the case. Then, how do you feel about her?”

Lu Wanggui thought for a moment. “Recently, I’ve been thinking of organizing a grand wedding.”

With just one sentence, his aunt understood that if he did not like her,?and if he did not really have his heart set on her, he would not say such words.

“But I’m very busy, and so is she.” Lu Wanggui was a little regretful. “I was thinking that when I have time to hold the wedding, I would invite you and uncle over.”

His aunt was stunned for a moment and shook her head. “Your uncle will be very happy when he knows. He has been worried about you all these years, afraid that you would be alone.”

After the funeral, Xiang Xiaoyuan and the others were ready to leave. They only stayed in Jiang City for two or three days, but to Xiang Xiaoyuan, it was as long as a century.

On the day of the funeral, according to custom, Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei should not stand too close to each other. She stood on the steps and looked at Lu Wanggui, who was standing in front of the grave in silence, although she knew that Lu Wanggui would soon recover and get back to work, she had seen his different expressions over the past few days.. She felt that he was getting closer and closer to her.
