Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Xibao Goes to School 4

Hearing Jiang Xiaoyue’s words, Lu Tianjun smiled even more brilliantly.

In his heart, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were his biological parents, and Xibao and Fubao were his actual younger siblings; how could he regret the wealth left by his parents? He simply felt proud of Jiang Xiaoyue’s magnanimity.

"I don’t regret it, not at all. I just feel happy. Your words reveal a broad-mindedness and kindness that truly delight me. The kindness that my uncle and aunt have shown Tianzhi and me in raising us is not something that can be compared to mere gold and jewels. Even if all of it were given to them, I wouldn’t feel any regret." Lu Tianjun held Jiang Xiaoyue’s hand. "Xiaoyue, it’s one thing for me to think this way because Tianzhi and I are directly involved; we’re acutely aware of the efforts our uncle and aunt have invested in us. For you to say this, it really surprised me, truly."

"We’re about to get married, and of course, I should consider things from your perspective. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is the least we should do, and it’s also important to not forget one’s origins nor be ungrateful." Jiang Xiaoyue gave him a look but didn’t pull her hand away because she loved Lu Tianjun’s sincerity and his commitment to regularly sending money home.

Lu Tianjun’s smile was so wide it nearly reached his ears.

Jiang Xiaoyue recalled something he had said, "Did you say earlier that the division was for you and Tianzhi, and that there was no share for Xibao and the others?"

Lu Tianjun spoke softly, "Grandfather mentioned to me a long time ago that the Lu Family preserved a portion of wealth, including grandmother’s dowry, which would belong to my uncle and aunt. The assets left by my parents are actually for Tianzhi and me. When my parents married, grandfather had already divided half of the family’s wealth for them. Most of it was preserved, while my uncle and aunt literally had nothing when they got married as the Lu Family had been ransacked several years by then. Our home was upheld by my uncle and aunt; those things should rightfully belong to them. What do you think?"

"It’s only fair, grandfather’s distribution was very equitable!" Jiang Xiaoyue had no objections. She was actually overjoyed to learn the secrets of the Lu Family, which showed that Lu Tianjun was truly sincere with her with no deception at all. "What belongs to us we will decide upon in the future. We can give a bit more to Tianzhi, and also share some with Xibao, Fubao, and the triplets. Uncle’s family has many children; it’s definitely not enough to go around."

Jiang Xiaoyue simply adored Xibao; he was her favorite.

Early the next morning, after exercising with Lu Tianjun, she became anxious when she didn’t see Xibao.

"Where’s Xibao?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked, pulling on Lu Tianzhi.

Lu Tianzhi made a sound in acknowledgment, "Xibao went to join those old masters out back, really too eager to learn. I have to redouble my efforts now!"

He and Guan Yu lacked motivation, only learning what interested them personally, but seeing a Xibao like that made him deeply feel that if the two brothers continued their sporadic efforts, Xibao would soon surpass them.

In the two days since Jiang Xiaoyue’s arrival, she had met with the local elders and, led by Lu Tianjun and under Lu Father’s guidance, had met with a group of old masters and old madames, several of whom were familiar faces. Especially seeing those like Zhou Fengchun who lived in the cowshed nearly shocked her, making her once again appreciate the profound decency of the Lu Family, willing to take such great risks to take care of them.

After preparing the meal, Jiang Xiaoyue and Lu Tianjun brought food to the elderly in the cowshed, where they saw Xibao who had unknowingly come over from the back.

Lu Father was discussing with the elders the issue of sending Xibao to school—a suggestion brought up by people like Wen Ruyu and Jin Ruochu. Even if he didn’t actually attend, he needed to at least be registered; the outside world valued the formal education level from a school, not the actual knowledge one possesses.
