Chapter 604: Why She’s So Concerned About Me
Although it has been over a week since the passing of her in-laws, every time Housewife Liu returns to this quiet, empty home, a deep sense of melancholy rises within her, causing a persistent ache in her heart. This content is the textual narrative from Chapter 604 of "Housewife 604."
While her in-laws were long suffering from illness, Liu had to reluctantly resort to various tasks just to raise funds for medicine. Back then, she still held a quiet hope—she could endure hardship, even if people criticized her, as long as her in-laws’ health improved, every sacrifice would have been worthwhile.
Yet, despite her efforts, her in-laws passed away without any improvement. Her hard work went unrewarded. As soon as she steps back into this home, Liu feels utterly alone, met with constant indifference and cold glares from others, each one cutting deeply into her.
Only Lu Yun truly cared for her from the heart. Yet, as widows face many troubles, even a child like Lu Yun found it difficult to visit. Facing Lu Yun’s nearly questioning tone, Liu widow smiled and said, “I’ve brought several packs of instant noodles—just rinse them with water and eat them. One person can manage quite well.” Lu Yun seemed to sense the quiet loneliness in the room, shook his head, and said, “Then I’ll eat with you. I’ll stay until you’ve finished, then I’ll go.” Just as Liu widow was about to speak, she saw Lu Yun’s determined expression and smiled, nodding in resignation. She took two packs of noodles, placed them in a bowl, and poured hot water over them. Within a few minutes, the aroma filled the entire room, and the warm atmosphere seemed to infuse the otherwise quiet space with endless warmth. “Eat all of these up,” Lu Yun said, pushing a pack of shredded beef and a pack of pork head meat toward her, “or I won’t be going back tonight. I’m staying with you and sharing one bed.”
Liu, the widow, took the chopsticks and silently looked at the two packages of food before her, then lowered her head to eat her noodles without a word. Even as a woman in her thirties, she couldn’t help shedding tears—steady drops falling into her bowl one after another. Suddenly, she managed to hold back her tears, raised her eyes to smile warmly at Lu Yun, and with a choked voice said, “Xiao Yun, there’s so much—how can I possibly finish it all by myself? You should eat too. In summer, the food gets spoiled after a day or two and goes to waste.”
"Speaking, she picked up a spoonful of meat with her chopsticks and took a bite. The fragrant pork head was delicious, but her eyes glistened, and tears threatened to fall. She quickly turned her head away. "Haha, Aunt, what are you doing? If you don't mind, I'll never come again. From now on, we'll just ignore each other—like strangers!" Liu Wofu hurried to reply, "Xiao Yun, it's not that at all. You... ah..."
"Whining all the time! If the sky collapses, I'll bear it. Let's eat. Once we're full, I'll rest well." Lu Yun, with the calmness of a man, gave a hearty shake of his shoulders.
Liu Wofu was delighted by his mature, cheerful tone and laughed through her tears. "You always keep me on my toes! Well, then—I'll finish my meal quickly, and you can go right after."
Lu Yun nodded. In his heart, however, he was still considering whether to tell Liu Wofu about the matter involving Si Ma Xinrou. After much thought, he decided to hold off—so as not to make her feel warm again
Lu Yun saw Liu the widow wipe away her tears and smile. She leaned forward and reached into her presence. Liu the widow smiled patiently, lifted a large piece of meat, and placed it in Lu Yun’s mouth, saying, “You silly boy, here, I’ll feed you.” The atmosphere was warm and pleasant. With Lu Yun deliberately creating a cozy ambiance, the dinner was finished quickly. Liu the widow blushed deeply—Lu Yun, this persistent, thoughtful boy, had been going out of his way to make her eat, giving her the impression that she wasn’t anymore a young widow in her thirties, but rather a little sister being gently cared for by Lu Yun. Without knowing it, a subtle shift in her own mindset had taken place. She had gradually grown fond of this feeling—being nurtured and cherished by a man beside her—finding it happy and sweet. Ah, finally finished with the content of Chapter 604 of the rural beauty series.
Liu, the widow, exhaled a long, steady breath, having not eaten so much in a long time. She looked at Lu Yun, beaming with happiness, and said slowly, "Now it's all settled. I'm nearly collapsing from the effort. Let's go. Your third aunt must have been waiting for you to eat by now." Lu Yun nodded and stood up, saying, "Aunt, then I'll go back first. Take good care of yourself. The next time I see you struggling like this, I'll give you a good lesson with my gun." Liu's face flushed, and she retorted, "Enough! Always finding ways to torment you. Hurry up and go!" As Lu Yun walked toward the door, he chuckled, "Haha, he misses you, doesn't he? That's no surprise." Just as he opened the door, Liu hurried over. Lu Yun turned and embraced her, his right hand gently caressing her full, ample figure, and whispered, "Aunt, why didn't you let me touch you after I returned?"
"Li, the widow, twisted restlessly in her seat. The pressure of Lu Yun's hand sent a warm flush through her body, yet she forced down her growing impulses and smiled, saying, 'There's no reason at all—just simply, it's not going to work. I've already touched you. Don't linger here—go home right away. Otherwise, your third sister will be worried.' Lu Yun reluctantly released his hold. True enough, there was still a Ms. Si Mai at home. He should at least make a visit. And now, after half the afternoon without seeing her, Ling Xiaoman must be having dinner at Xiao Ying's. May the old bachelor village chief not have any designs on her!"
"The high part of the upstairs had just been gently scratched by Lu Yun, and Lu Yun had already sensed the woman's bodily reactions. Hearing this, Liu's widow blushed and opened the door for Lu Yun, softly spitting out, 'You obnoxious youngster, hurry up and get out of here! If you keep making me feel embarrassed like this, I'll make sure you never come back again.' Lu Yun stepped out of the courtyard, then smiled and said, 'If you won't let me in, I'll climb over the wall. Nothing will stop me from coming to see you. I'm determined to revolutionize until I succeed!' Liu's widow gently scolded him again, then slammed the door shut with a loud 'thud,' yet through the crack she watched Lu Yun's figure fade into the distance, murmuring softly, 'You obnoxious youngster, why are you so concerned about a widow whose body isn't quite clean? Why?' Two clear tears slowly trailed down as she spoke. ... Rural Beauty No. 604, Main Text No. 604 – Why Are You So Concerned About Me – Updated!"
