Chapter 210 -210 Lu Family’s Affairs
Lu Ruisheng’s mouth twitched, but he felt it was best to tell the truth about the matter.
He said, “Ever since we arrived at the base, Lu Ruiming has been threatening us. He said his uncle is a Base Commander. We know there are three commanders, but we weren’t sure which one. At that time, we didn’t know Lu Ruiming’s last name was Lu, so to avoid Lu Ruiming’s uncle, we chose to cooperate directly with the secretary.”
Lu Jianguo’s face was full of embarrassment. In his heart, he cursed Lu Ruiming a hundred and eight times. If not for him, wouldn’t his son have directly gone to the base to discuss this matter? He would have met him sooner, known his name, and probably recognized him already. Why did it have to be such a roundabout way and in this manner?
This Lu Ruiming really deserved a beating. Once he was discharged and returned, he would definitely give this negligent person a good thrashing.
He told Lu Ruisheng, “I’m not familiar with Lu Ruiming. His father and I are not from the same mother. His father was your grandfather’s stepson. That old lady, besides Lu Ruiming’s father, also had a daughter, Lu Lianlian. Your Second Uncle and I rarely contacted them, and only saw them during festive visits to the old man. This time it was also because of the apocalypse, the old man forced me by threatening his life to fetch them. After they arrived, I was too busy and forgot to arrange housing for them in advance. It was right at the time I was doing overtime and staying in the dorm, so I let them stay at my home temporarily. I really did not expect them to be such people. If I had known, I would have driven them out earlier. Rest assured, once I am discharged, I’ll immediately send them away.”
Hearing his father’s assurances, Lu Ruisheng felt somewhat comforted. He asked, “When we arrived, we encountered them on the road and knew they were people from the base who had come to fetch us. You didn’t go that time, did you?”
“Of course not, with so many things to handle at the base, how could I have time to fetch them?” Lu Jianguo initially wasn’t fond of them. His initial decision to fetch them was partly due to the old man’s threats and partly to probe for any clues about his son. Now that his son had been found and learning they had mistreated his own son, his aversion was even more apparent.
Lu Ruisheng felt much better, but then he thought about what Lu Jianguo said about staying in a dorm, and wondered about his wife’s whereabouts.
He felt it inappropriate to directly inquire about such personal matters, considering their relationship. Although they seemed close, they weren’t that familiar.
Thinking over this, he suddenly felt a bit worried, “Could we have made a mistake?” So many years had passed without a DNA test.
Lu Jianguo said, “The birthmarks are yours, and I have engraved the scars in my mind. The scar was an accident when your grandfather was smoking and carelessly burned you. It was a deep burn, and your mother cried for two days. There is absolutely no mistake.”
Hearing that his mother had cried for two days over a minor injury, he felt she must have loved him, so he asked, “Is she at the base too?”

Lu Jianguo’s expression suddenly became sad, “She hasn’t been around for many years. After you went missing, her health deteriorated, and she continuously suffered from insomnia and her mental state gradually worsened…”
“Big Brother, it’s all Ruiming’s fault that you ended up in the hospital,” Lu Ruiming’s mother, Zhang Huishu, rushed in without paying attention to the situation inside the room and immediately started speaking.
She was fashionably dressed and had applied lipstick. Upon entering, her eyes were fixed on Lu Jianguo, full of concern.
Lu Ruisheng remembered her; she was the woman he had seen on the road to the base, Lu Ruiming’s mother, but he didn’t have a good impression of her.
Lu Jianguo’s brows furrowed deeply, “What are you doing here? Spend your time educating your son properly and keep him from causing more trouble.”
Zhang Huishu appeared very aggrieved, “Big Brother, the third is gone, and Ruiming is a boy, I really don’t know how to educate him. From now on, you’ll need to help me guide him.”
Lu Jianguo immediately replied, “You are Lu Ruiming’s mother, and he is already an adult. I have no obligation to educate him. Moreover, a person’s integrity is their own quality. Shengsheng wasn’t with me all these years, and hasn’t he turned out well?”
Lu Ruisheng suddenly felt that Lu Jianguo had a commendable quality; he was protective. His previous worries lessened even more.
Zhang Huishu didn’t expect such a big shift in Lu Jianguo’s attitude toward them. Even if her son caused some trouble, it wasn’t a big deal. It seemed his attitude changed after acknowledging his son.
She told Lu Jianguo, “Big Brother, I know you’ve been searching for your son all these years, but you can’t just easily recognize someone of uncertain origin. Don’t let yourself be used by someone with ulterior motives.”
Lu Jianguo didn’t intend to speak harshly to Zhang Huishu, or to speak much at all, but now that she was questioning his son’s identity, that was absolutely unacceptable.
He said, “How can I be unsure about my own son? What do you mean by ‘people of unknown origin’? If you can’t speak properly, just leave.”
Tears welled up in Zhang Huishu’s eyes, “Big Brother, I’m doing this for your good. I’m afraid you’ve been deceived. This issue started because of Ruiming, and I’m worried that they used some kind of tactic to deceive you as well.”
Lu Jianguo was so angry that he sat up, “Get out, get the hell out.”
Lu Ruisheng couldn’t let Lu Jianguo get so angry and said to Zhang Huishu, “We can handle our affairs ourselves, please leave, and don’t disturb the patient’s rest.”
How could Zhang Huishu leave? She stepped forward to pull Lu Jianguo.
Lu Ruisheng didn’t want to touch this woman but couldn’t let her pull Lu Jianguo like that, so he grabbed a mop next to him and blocked Zhang Huishu, “Back off, get back.”
Gu Pan walked to the door and heard the quarrelling. She had already run inside, put down what she was holding at the door, and dashed over, grabbing Zhang Huishu, “What are you trying to do?”
After finishing, she finally saw who it was. Disliking this person, she dragged her out directly.
Zhang Huishu cried out in pain from Gu Pan’s pinch, “Ouch, you’re so rude…”
Before she could finish, Gu Pan had already pulled out a cloth from her pocket and stuffed it in Zhang Huishu’s mouth. The cloth came from the “Space,” but no one was paying attention to these details at the moment.
Lu Jianguo watched his daughter-in-law and laughed, “This girl is really good, understanding my thoughts.”
Lu Ruisheng scratched his head, unsure about how to comment on the situation. He wasn’t worried about his wife, as one Gu Pan could deal with five Zhang Huishus.
After pushing Zhang Huishu out of the sickroom, Gu Pan locked the door.
Zhang Huishu had just knocked on the door a few times when she was stopped and driven away by a doctor.
The room became quiet.
Lu Jianguo looked at his son and daughter-in-law, smiling broadly, “You two are so good, not to be bullied. If anyone bullies you in the future, do just like this. No matter what happens, I’ve got your back.”
He wanted to say he’s got them covered, but he feared Lu Ruisheng would dislike that expression, so he didn’t put it that way.
Gu Pan liked such an elder, “Mhm, we’re indeed not the type to be bullied.”
Lu Ruisheng also smiled and looked at the two food containers on the floor, “What did you bring?” Saying so, he brought the containers to the table beside the hospital bed and opened them.
One container had ginseng chicken soup and a dish of mixed vegetables—not fresh, but the dried vegetables were boiled and then mixed, and Gu Pan’s seasoning was plentiful, so the color and taste were excellent.
The other container contained rice and two simple stir-fries: mixed mushrooms with cured meat and bean sprouts stir-fried with noodles.
Since the ginseng chicken soup contained half a chicken, it was enough for three people to eat.
In the apocalypse, one couldn’t expect to eat too lavishly in the hospital—it wasn’t seemly for others to see.
