Chapter 418: Chapter 0418: Astonishing Discovery 2_1

Unable to withstand his daughter-in-law’s persistent questioning, Lu’s father finally surrendered to her inquisition, fondly teasing his drowsy grandson, "Alright, alright, I’ll tell you."

Feng Qingxue immediately drew Lu Jiang, who had just stepped in the door, to sit upright and listen attentively with her.

"Actually, there aren’t many people left."

Before he could finish his sentence, Feng Qingxue interjected, "Father, you’re teasing me again. I don’t believe you!"

Lu’s father chuckled lightly and said, "How could I possibly have such magical powers to arrange multiple backup plans in advance? At that time, I simply believed strongly in the saying that a house built on good deeds will always be blessed. Hence, I tried my best to perform good deeds for our descendants, even donating money and supplies to the passing resistance soldiers. The tenant farmers, maids, and orphans we helped in the past, who could have thought that they would rise to leadership positions today and each have promising futures? Fortunately, the majority of them have never forgotten our family’s kindness and have been secretly supporting us."

"So, Father, who are these risers that I’m not aware of? What are their current statuses? Could you tell me about them?" Feng Qingxue was still very curious.

Lu’s father thought for a moment and then shook his head, "There are too many, I can’t remember everything."

Feng Qingxue was taken aback. Just how many good deeds had the Lu family done that such a wise and erudite man like Lu’s father couldn’t even keep track of them all?

"You’re incredible! I admire you, I really do!" She gave a thumbs up to Lu’s father, "Father, you’re my role model. I need to follow your footsteps and perform more good deeds. Who knows? Maybe someone will extend a helping hand to me when I face difficulties in the future."

"Haven’t you been doing so all along? You saved Acheng’s grandmother and grandfather, you saved your third uncle’s parents, you saved Acheng, Ayu, Jiang He and all those other children, you saved Xibao’s godmother’s family and nephew, you saved He Hongjun. These are just the ones we know about, I think there must be many others that we are unaware of. You were born to be one of us, the Lu family, a reflection of the good deeds our ancestors must have committed." Lu’s father hugged Xibao and chanted Buddhist sutras, then when he realised it wasn’t really related to Buddha, he started invoking the protection of their ancestors.

Xibao cheerfully patted his old face.

Unable to hold back, Feng Qingxue said, "Father, is this mutual flattery between us?"

Hearing her words, even Lu’s father couldn’t help but laugh.

"It’s not flattery, we’re simply speaking the truth." Lu Jiang chimed in seriously, glancing at his father and then at his beautiful wife, "I’m proud of my ancestors, I’m proud of my wife, and I’m also proud of the moral standards of our Lu family."

Lu’s father retorted frowning, "Before you do a good deed, remember to use your brain, think things through properly, and stop being so reckless."

"Father, don’t speak about Ajiang that way! And please don’t criticize him in front of Uncle Three in the future. Ajiang experienced the brutalities of the battlefield, he crawled his way out from the pile of dead bodies. I’m so grateful that he made it back alive. He had good intentions when he wanted to donate the gold to the country. He’s just not as reckless and careless as you say he is."

As Feng Qingxue spoke, she turned to look at her husband. After being carefully taken care of at home for over ten days, he regained his handsome looks. His sharp eyebrows framed a high nose and vibrant eyes, which emitted an undeniable aura of bravery. The more she looked, the more she liked him. "No one is perfect. I think Ajiang is great, his pure heart can illuminate the sun and the moon. Besides, hasn’t he recognized his shortcomings under your guidance? He’s been constantly learning from you, you don’t need to keep bringing it up."

A man has his pride. Being lectured by his father repeatedly in front of his wife must have made him feel uncomfortable and humiliated.
