Lady of the Rural Village, Chapter 926: Farewell to Yu Ying, Chapter 926 Land Yun was astonished—Li Tingting had never told him about this, nor had Liu Fengyi or the others hinted at anything of the sort. Now, suddenly claiming to have been adopted, Tingting’s revelation left Land Yun both stunned and puzzled. Even as an adopted child, she had developed a bond with Liu Fengying and her husband that surpassed that of a biological mother and daughter. So why, under the encouragement of Liu Fengyi and the others, would she agree to develop a close, intimate relationship with her stepmother? "Moreover, when my aunt helped me raise funds to treat my father, she taught me a lot about matters relating to men and women. Among other things, she mentioned that men in our region weren't particularly skilled in that area, advising me to feel confident in attending to Wang Hehui, saying that with a little patience, everything would work out. As I was speaking, Liu Tingting suddenly paused and looked at Lu Yun: 'The very first time I did something like that with you, I already knew you were different from the men my aunt described. No matter what the reason, I was deeply glad and felt truly happy to give myself to you.' Lu Yun listened quietly as Liu Tingting shared her thoughts. He understood her current feelings well—though their experiences were similar, one had been purchased and the other had been found.' Suddenly, Liu Tingting became a bit hesitant, biting her red lips. "I can be a happy girl, but Mom can't. For so many years, Dad's health has been poor, and now he's been diagnosed with cancer. Back then, I truly feared Mom wouldn't be able to bear it..." As she spoke, Liu Tingting choked and softly cried. Lu Yun sighed, gently patting her shoulder, reassuring her, "Tingting, everything isn't over yet—it will get better." Nodding in agreement, Liu Tingting wiped away her tears and smiled at Lu Yun. "I know everything will get better, because of you. So I can't be too selfish. My younger aunts have all experienced the joy of being women. Mom, after all, is the one who has worked the hardest among the three sisters. Why shouldn't Mom be able to enjoy that same joy as the aunts? When Mom told me about her desire to have a certain kind of relationship with you, I found it hard to accept at first, but I still agreed. This content is from Chapter 926 of 'Rural Beauty.' "Lu Yun, don't you think I'm a bit... well, strange?" Li Tingting bit firmly at her lower lip as she asked. Lu Yun smiled gently. "Tingting, no, I don't think so. I just didn't expect you to be an adopted child. As long as you feel comfortable inside, that's all." Li Tingting shook her head. "Not at all. At first, I found it hard to accept, but I soon convinced myself. Just that Mom is a bit frail, so when you're doing things with her, please be gentle with her." Lu Yun nodded and then wrapped his arms around Li Tingting's waist, quietly listening to the rustling of the trees in the wind. It wasn't clear how long they had stayed there, but when the classroom bell rang, they finally parted with lingering affection. "Lu Yun, let's go back to class," Li Tingting said, standing up with her cheeks flushed, looking at Lu Yun. Lu Yun smiled slightly. "Tingting, you go back to class first. I still need to check around your neighborhood. If possible, I'd like to have your parents move back home as soon as possible—staying somewhere else isn't really a sustainable solution. Also, I've noticed that Ma Fugui hasn't been very kind to your family. Over time, that might not be good for your father's recovery." Li Tingting felt warm and touched, and said immediately, "But if you go, you'll have to miss classes. You didn't attend class yesterday, and if you miss today's as well..." Lu Yun chuckled. "Don't worry. When I came back this morning, I met my homeroom teacher and already asked for leave. No problem at all. Hurry back—otherwise you'll be late." "Alright. I'll go now. Just make sure you come back to class soon. There are only a few days left before the exams." With Lu Yun's encouragement, Li Tingting finally turned toward the school building, but couldn't help turning back to remind him to return early. Lu Yun waved his hand and smiled. "Got it. Off you go." Only after watching Li Tingting's figure fade into the campus did Lu Yun mount his bike and head toward Xiao Wang Village. Ten thousand, ten thousand—once Li Tingting's matter was settled, Lu Yun found himself constantly thinking about Yang Yanping's words: "Ten thousand yuan for a single tear. Ten thousand yuan for each tear. I've shed quite a few tears myself. A tear that never melts is worth at least ten thousand yuan. So now, with several million, if not tens of millions, of yuan in my pocket, what am I to do with all this wealth? Millions, tens of millions—figures Lu Yun had never dared to imagine, yet now they were suddenly within his grasp. This was as if he had stumbled upon a never-ending mountain of gold. How could he possibly spend such a fortune? As he sped along, Lu Yun quickly pondered how to best allocate this wealth. Now, Lu Yun felt like a beggar who had suddenly discovered a golden mountain and couldn't even begin to know where to start. This content is from Chapter 926 of the novel "Rural Beauty." Of course, the small grocery store owned by Liu's widow must be taken over. But can Liu's widow actually be retained? Clearly, this is highly unlikely. Liu's widow left not for the sake of money, but to escape the lingering, admiring glances. Even if she sold every single drop of those never-fading tears and converted them all into cash, she might still not stay. Money may hold people in place, but it can never hold onto a person's heart. Lu Yun found himself overwhelmed with thoughts about Liu's widow. He would address her matter later. At present, the most pressing priority was to find out whether any strangers had recently appeared near Tingting's home—this was absolutely essential. With his mind made up, Lu Yun stepped on the accelerator. Though the road was bumpy, his speed remained steady. Soon, he arrived at Tingting's house. He got out of the car and surveyed the surroundings, but found no strangers there. Suddenly, Lu Yun realized he had made a mistake—he had only been here once. Even if there were strangers around Tingting's home, he didn't know any of them. Mom, if only he had sent one of Liu Fengyi's sisters with him instead of making such a mess all by himself! Lu Yun glanced over and saw a graceful figure appearing at the distant end of the alley, waving enthusiastically toward him—could it be none other than Yu Ying? Lu Yun chuckled, having been so tense earlier that he had completely forgotten about her. Now, her sudden appearance was exactly what he had been hoping for. He promptly pushed his cart forward and smiled, saying, "Ms. Yu, how come you're here?" "Yu Ying smiled gently and said, 'I'll go home first and talk about this later. You're clearly exhausted—your head is all sweaty, so you must have been riding for a long time. Let's go home, have a cup of water, and then we'll discuss this.' Saying that, she stepped forward toward her own house. Lu Yun glanced around, then followed Yu Ying closely. 'Come in!' It wasn't long before they arrived at Yu Ying's home. Upon entering, Yu Ying turned around and warmly welcomed Lu Yun. Lu Yun pushed the bicycle into the courtyard, parked it neatly, and then followed Yu Ying inside, taking a chair for himself. He looked at the baby sleeping soundly on the bed and smiled, 'Yu Ying sister, you're really quite brave—how dare you leave the baby at home and go out on your own? Don't you worry that someone might take the baby away?' Yu Ying poured a cup of water and placed it in Lu Yun's hands, smiling, "Didn't you see that I locked the door and all the other room fittings? Besides, I only went out for a short while—nothing like what you're worried about will happen." Lu Yun nodded, thinking about how to begin asking Yu Ying a few questions. Yet Yu Ying seemed to intuitively understand Lu Yun's thoughts, and with a gentle smile, she said, "Little Yun, what exactly did you come here for today? Didn't you come especially to see me?" Lu Yun chuckled, "Yu Ying sister, when you went to Tingting's place, weren't you also waiting for me?" Yu Ying softly smiled, "Of course—I just mentioned that a moment ago. Whenever I go out, I specifically come to wait for you, and I already know why you've come." "Then go on," Lu Yun said, now genuinely interested, noticing from Yu Ying's expression that she seemed sincere. Yu Ying smiled gently and said, "How could it be any more straightforward? Last time, the young lady from the Liu family was involved in an incident, and you even fought with her. After that, the entire Liu family moved out. So naturally, this visit is to check whether there are any of those people nearby who might be planning to retaliate. Is that right?" Lu Yun smiled and said, "Ying sister, you're absolutely right. I've indeed come for this very reason. Ying sister..." Before Lu Yun could finish speaking, Yu Ying suddenly exclaimed with a sharp tone, scolding, "You're so ungrateful! You've truly come not for me, huh? Hmph!" Upon hearing Yu Ying's slightly pouty tone, Lu Yun immediately rose and stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her slender frame, and whispered, "Ying sister, I've certainly come for you. Don't you think so? Just feel it—doesn't your brother already miss you dearly?" ... Rural Beauty 926, Main Text 926, Updated!
