Chapter 191: Back Home

m.Father Fu and Mother Fu could no longer muster any resistance, just nodding their heads incessantly to indicate they understood."That's enough, just make sure to keep Fu Zixuan in check from now on....Aunt Song scratched her head and said, “I'm just afraid that after the master reacts, he will guess that I have your contact information as his wife, and then he will ask me about it.”

This question left Fu Xiaoyao silent for a moment before she replied, "If that's really the case, Aunt Song, you should just tell him. Don't let him put you in an awkward position."

"Well, I'll hang up first then. Take care, Mrs."

"Well, Aunt Song, take care of yourself too."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Xiaoyao turned off her cell phone and stared blankly out the car window.

To be honest, she was a little surprised that Lu Hanchuan would send someone to find her. There was a bit of joy mixed with the surprise in her heart.

Doesn't this mean he still cares about her a little Otherwise, why would he look for her

Of course, such a thought only lasted for a few seconds before being rejected by Fu Xiaoyao herself.

How could Lu Hanchuan possibly care about her If he cared even a little, the Qi family wouldn't dare treat her and her child in this way. It's because he doesn't love her, doesn't care about her, that the Qi family dares to be so bold.

The only thing she couldn't figure out was why Lü Hánchuan sent someone to find her. Shouldn't her leaving be a good thing for him That way he would be free, able to marry the woman he loved. So why did he send for her

Is he feeling that she suddenly left with the divorce agreement without telling him, causing him to lose face, so he's going after her for revenge

Thinking this way, Fu Xiaoyao's lips curved into a bitter smile, then closed her eyes and leaned against the car window. Her body swayed with the movement of the car and slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Miss, Miss"

Fu Xiaoyao was woken up by someone. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, her voice a little hoarse as she asked, "Is something the matter"

"Miss, we've arrived. Everyone else has gotten off the bus, you should get off too." the driver replied.

"You're here" Fu Xiaoyao was startled and quickly turned her head to look outside.

As expected, the familiar train station stood before her, telling her this was where she needed to be.

Fu Xiaoyao was now completely awake. She thanked the driver uncle and quickly got out of the car with her luggage.

After getting off the car, she didn't rush out of the station. Instead, she stood still and looked around.

The station was still the same station, unchanged after all these years, only looking older.

It was precisely because of this oldness that Fu Xiaoyao instantly recalled the memories from her childhood. She couldn't help but feel a sourness in her nose, and her eyes turned red.

After nearly ten years, she finally returned to this hometown that was most unforgettable to her.

She didn't think she'd have a chance to come back.

But I never expected that she not only came back, but came back in the way of a divorce.

After a self-deprecating chuckle, Fu Xiaoyao picked up her luggage and left the station. She bought daily necessities and some incense at a nearby supermarket before taking a car back to the village.

The village was much like the train station, basically unchanged. After getting off the train, Fu Xiaoyao glanced around a few times before heading to the village head's house.

"Grandpa Fu, are you home" she shouted twice outside a small house.

The village head and his family were having dinner when they heard a shout. He hurriedly put down his bowl and went to open the door.

"Who are you" The village chief looked at Fu Xiaoyao suspiciously, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at the old man, who was much older than she remembered. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart. "Grandpa Fu, I'm Xiaoyao."

"Xiao Yao" the village head murmured, then his eyes widened. "Are you little Xiao Yao"

"It was me." Fu Xiaoyao smiled and nodded.

The village head quickly opened all the doors, “Hurry, hurry, come in quickly.”

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao didn't stand on ceremony, carrying her bags into the room.

Upon entering the main hall, the village head poured her a cup of water. "Xiao Yao, you're back! Have your parents returned as well"

"No, I came back alone." Fu Xiaoyao took the cup of water and replied.

The village head sat down opposite her, “Alone”

"Well, after all these years, it's time to come back and see grandpa and grandma." Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flickered with a trace of nostalgia as she said this.

She misses her grandparents very much.

"It's good that you came back to see them." The village head nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes. "Your grandparents would be so happy knowing you still remember them. It wasn't for nothing they raised you."

"Grandpa Fu, you're joking. It's been ten years since I last came back, Grandma and Grandpa must be angry with me." Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head in shame.

The village chief smiled, “Your grandparents are very open-minded people. They won't be angry with you, and they understand that things aren't easy for you out there. After all, your parents... well, never mind. How long do you plan to stay this time”

"I guess it'll take two or three months." Fu Xiaoyao replied uncertainly.

The village head was surprised, “How long are we going to stay here this time”

"I'm not feeling quite well, so I'm going back home to take care of myself." Fu Xiaoyao explained.

"Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately inquired with concern, 'Are you ill' "

"Well, I've caught a bit of a cold." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

She had her bone marrow extracted twice and was forcibly aborted, her body was already broken.

Now she can't stand even a little wind. As soon as the wind blows, she feels freezing cold.

Although it's not winter yet and everyone else is still wearing autumn clothes, she has already pulled out her winter clothes. On the way back, many people looked at her with strange eyes.

"Since you're sick, you should take good care of yourself. But I heard you got married, so why isn't your husband coming back with you You're still ill, doesn't he feel worried" The village head said, somewhat displeased.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed instantly, "He's too busy with work to get away..."

"When are people more important than being busy" The village head tapped his cigarette holder.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head and smiled wryly, "Grandfather Fu, let's not talk about this. You still keep the key to my hometown, right"

"It's all been taken care of. You send money back every year, and we keep the house clean too. We often go over to sweep it up. We just cleaned it a few days ago, so it'll be perfect when you move in." The village chief smiled again, warmly this time.

Fu Xiaoyao was filled with gratitude, "Grandfather Fu, thank you so much."

"What are you thanking me for You're not the first one who didn't pay the management fee. Just sit down, I'll go get you the key." The village head said with a chuckle, then got up and walked out of the main hall.

Soon, he came back with the key and a blanket, insisting on giving it to Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao couldn't refuse the heartfelt invitation, so she accepted it. She took her bedding and belongings and left the village chief's house, heading back to her own home.

My hometown is still the same as before. Because the village head's family often cleans, the courtyard and so on are still relatively clean.

Fu Xiaoyao took out her key and opened the door. The wooden door had no support for its latch, so it swayed back and forth as she opened it. Because of its age, the wood was slightly rotten, making a strange creaking sound that was rather eerie to hear.

But Fu Xiaoyao wasn't scared, she was just a little worried.

I'm worried that I don't have money right now, otherwise I could renovate my old house properly.

"Sigh..." With a heavy sigh, Fu Xiaoyao dragged her luggage of various sizes into the house.

The house was very clean, it didn't need to be cleaned at all, just needed to wipe the bed and things like that.

By the time Fu Xiaoyao finished her work, it was already dark. She touched her hungry stomach and then pulled out a loaf of bread from her suitcase. She ate it with a glass of milk for dinner.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she splashed some water on her face, freshened up briefly, and then went to bed.

A day of running around had already worn her out, she closed her eyes, listening to the chirping of insects outside, which she hadn't heard in ages. A rare sense of peace filled her heart, so much so that she fell asleep in no time.

The next day, she was woken up by a series of frantic phone rings.

Fu Xiaoyao fished out her phone and without looking at the caller ID, she pressed it to her ear, "Hello"

"Fu Xiaoyao, where are you"r. Tang is really the one who took your brother, it means he has a lot of animosity towards the Lu family. You have to be careful in the future. I'm afraid he'll target you." Fu Xiaoyao said anxiously...
