You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 304: Lucky in 3 Lifetimes

With the downfall of Sirenbang, Lu Yuanqing noticed a noticeable improvement in the atmosphere in both the city and the county.

Xie Long, in particular, limped along with a big smile: "It's over. We've finally waited for the sun to shine."

Xie Qianyu and Lu Yuanbo came to see him and found him in this state.

The two exchanged a glance, their smiles reaching their eyes.

Although he has not yet been exonerated.

But no one bothers us anymore, and we no longer need to write a weekly self-criticism letter.

Time may have taken away Xie Long and his colleagues' energy, but it has left behind a wealth of wisdom.

Xie Long, his hands trembling, touched the soft tuft of hair and said to Lu Yuanbo, "Thank you."

The care they've given me over the years, and the kindness they've shown to Xie Qianyu.

From the moment he was abandoned by his family, Xie Qianyu became Xie Long's only concern.

He was the happiest person to see Xie Qianyu find a good home.

The Lu family is a family he approves of, and Lu Yuanbo is a person he approves of.

Lu Yuanbo smiled and said, "Grandpa, you're thanking me? There's no need for such thanks among family members. Grandpa, take good care of yourself. Once Tuantuan's younger brothers are a bit older and can go out freely, I'll bring them to kowtow to you."

Xie Long beamed with joy, affectionately embracing his great-granddaughter, "Good, good, good."

"People are in a state of panic right now, and there is a lot of infighting going on at the top. Even if things seem to be fine now, it will probably take another year or two before things can really settle down."

"However, the higher-ups are busy and won't think about our affairs for the time being. They should have time to deal with us after things settle down. But the sword hanging over our heads is gone, so we don't have to worry about our lives anymore."

Xie Long understood this clearly, and he and Ren Pingsheng also had some expectations.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qianyu's eyes immediately reddened. "That would be best. If that's the case, that would be wonderful."

Lu Yuanbo comforted her and said, "Once things calm down, Grandpa will come home with us. We've already prepared a room for you."

Xie Long smiled broadly, "I, Xie Long, have not lived my life in vain. Although I was betrayed, I still have Qianyu by my side, and now I have Yuanbo and Tuantuan."

As for his other family members, he didn't want to think about them anymore.

Xie Qianyu's face also darkened, clearly recalling how her parents had treated Xie Long.

In addition, not a single letter or a single expression of concern had been sent over the years, so Xie Qianyu had finally given up on that last bit of obsession in her heart.

Lu Yuanbo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother has already sent a letter to Xiao Xi. Although Xiao Xi doesn't have any solutions, her in-laws should be able to help. Grandpa, just wait to come to my house, and Qianyu and I will take care of you in your old age."

These words surprised both Xie Long and Xie Qianyu.

Xie Long was shocked by the extraordinary family that Lu Mingxi had married into.

Although, because of Lu Yuanbo, he also knew that Lu Mingxi and Lu Yuanhuan, the two daughters of the Lu family, had married into the city.

They all seem to have married quite well.

But he really didn't know that Lu Mingxi's in-laws had such great power.

Xie Qianyu, however, was puzzled. "Did Third Brother write a letter to Xiao Xi to ask her for help? Won't that put Xiao Xi in a difficult position, making things awkward for her in her husband's family?"

Lu Yuanbo said, "Don't you know Ono? He won't give Xiaoxi a hard time."

"My third brother said that the only family we can help with is Xiaoxi's in-laws. Although we don't want to cause trouble for Xiaoxi, Grandpa's matter is not a small thing, so even if we have to swallow our pride, we have to help."

Lu Yuanqing's meaning was not clearly stated by Lu Yuanbo; he did not want to place too much burden on Xie Qianyu.

After all, without anyone's help, given the past relationship between Xie Long and Ren Pingsheng, they are no longer considered equals, and it will be a long time before they can leave the cowshed.

Since we've troubled Xiaoxi's in-laws, we naturally owe them a favor.

Lu Yuanqing would naturally find a way to return it from somewhere else.

Lu Yuanbo did not tell Xie Qianyu and Xie Long about these issues.

But both of them were shrewd and could have easily imagined such a thing.

Xie Long opened his mouth, his throat feeling a little itchy.

Xie Qianyu was moved, and her eyes reddened. "Thank you, especially Third Brother."

If it weren't for Lu Yuanbo, Lu Yuanqing would never have gotten involved in these troublesome matters.

After the four people mentioned above fell from power, Xie Qianyu kept thinking about Xie Long.

Xie Long is really old, and even with their help over the years, his health has still been affected.

His right leg, in particular, has become a chronic, recurring problem.

It hurts when it's windy or rainy, and it also hurts when I walk too much.

Xie Qianyu was worried, but she didn't show it.

She no longer considered her parents and relatives in the city as family; Xie Long was her only elder, and she was afraid every day that he would suddenly leave her.

I originally thought Xie Long would have to stay in the cowshed for a long time, until someone finally remembered him and he could leave this place that had trapped him for several years.

Xie Qianyu never expected that Lu Yuanqing would discover her worries.

He even asked Lu Yuanqing to bother Lu Mingxi.

Lu Yuanqing was an upright and honest man who lived a clear-headed and sensible life. This was the first time Xie Qianyu had ever asked someone for a favor since they met.

Therefore, Xie Qianyu's emotion was beyond words.

Seeing that her eyes were red, Lu Yuanbo didn't care that Xie Long was also there and hurriedly hugged her to comfort her. "Originally, Third Brother planned to let me tell you the good news after things were settled, but I wanted you to be happy sooner, so I told you now. If it makes you cry instead, I won't tell you."

Xie Qianyu buried her head in his arms and shook her head.

“I didn’t cry. I was just happy and touched. I feel so lucky to have met you and your family.”

Xie Qianyu rambled on about her excitement.

Lu Yuanbo smiled brightly, "I know."

Because he is too.

He also felt that meeting Xie Qianyu was the greatest fortune of his life.

Xie Long looked at the two of them with satisfaction, his gaze falling on the little girl in his arms.

She stared wide-eyed at her parents as they embraced each other affectionately.

Xiao Tuantuan reached out and waved, trying to get attention.

"Dad, Mom! I'm here."

Let's hug together!

Xie Qianyu was nestled in Lu Yuanbo's arms, talking to him, her attention completely off her own daughter.

Lu Yuanbo did see it. He glanced at his little daughter, then at his wife who was unusually affectionate towards him in public, and decisively turned his head away, pretending not to have seen it.

Little Tuantuan: "..."

Xie Long watched this scene and couldn't stop laughing. Finally, he folded his arms around the somewhat heavy little Tuantuan and said, "Great-Grandpa, hold her. We'll hold her."

Little Tuantuan seemed to have gotten used to her father ignoring her because of her mother, and promptly ran into her great-grandfather's arms for comfort.
