Chapter 602

Su Jin

For families like theirs, without Nan Nan, Lu Hang wouldn’t have recovered, Lu Yuan wouldn’t have her current opportunities, and as for Lu Ming, forget it—they wouldn’t even know about the outside world, let alone find a way forward for their children.

In the end, they’d either be exploited by others or go back to farming with the rest.

That’s why they especially hoped A Ming would seize this opportunity—it was a profitable business.

Moreover, with Nan Nan’s support, why worry about hard times ahead?

The villagers had no idea about the Lu family’s thoughts, and Lu Ming, already on his way back, was also unaware. Little did they know, he was about to bring a big surprise for the Lu family...

Lu Ming, returning by train, brought his girlfriend with him, only to be dismayed to find that he couldn’t even enter his own village.

He was stunned. He hadn’t expected that his sister-in-law causing trouble would leave him locked out of the village. He couldn’t just leave his girlfriend alone or send her away, so he negotiated with them, thinking of a way to bring her inside.

“You should look for Commander Lu,” someone suggested, since they’re family, after all.

The mere thought of his older brother made Lu Ming lose his nerve. “Better not. Is there any way to do this without my brother finding out? Could my dad come instead?”

The guard glanced at his girlfriend and said, “I’m afraid not!”

The main issue was that this was Lu Ming’s first time bringing a girlfriend home, and they didn’t know her background, so they didn’t dare let her in.

Especially since there was no time to check her out in such a short time.

Left with no choice, Lu Ming tried to reassure his girlfriend while sending someone to get Lu Hang...

Su Jin wasn’t angry—she was just curious. She wondered why a village had such security. She could tell the guards were carrying real guns; any conflict could easily turn deadly.

Yet Lu Ming, who hadn’t been home in a long time, wasn’t surprised at all. Instead, he was trying everything to avoid getting his brother involved. It was clear he knew why the village was on high alert.

Though curious, she knew it wasn’t the right time to ask. She stood quietly and even comforted Lu Ming, telling him not to stress or get upset.

After a long wait, Lu Hang arrived in a hurry.

“Brother, this is Su Jin—I mentioned her to you before,” Lu Ming quickly explained.

Lu Hang glanced at Su Jin and had a vague memory of her. It was back when he pretended his leg hadn’t healed and asked Lu Ming to take him to see Zhang Shengguo. At that time, Su Jin had covered for them, preventing the aggressive Zheng family from laying a hand on them.

He knew she was Lu Ming’s classmate, and they’d started dating after spending time together.

“My apologies for the strict measures—please understand,” Lu Hang explained to Su Jin. Then he turned to them and said, “I’m not authorized to vouch for you myself. We’ll need to have Second Uncle come over and register your documents. Understood?”

They both nodded in agreement.

When Lu Zheng got the message and arrived, he saw his son standing there silently with a girl and wanted to chew him out.

He hadn’t said a word about bringing someone home, and now the family had nothing prepared to welcome their guest.

“Dad, this is my girlfriend, Su Jin!” Lu Ming showed her off like an eager puppy, eager for everyone to know he had a girlfriend. Lu Zheng found it embarrassing to watch, but Su Jin was amused.

His enthusiasm showed how much he valued her—he wanted to introduce her to everyone important in his life.

Once everything was settled, Lu Zheng led them into the village. Whenever they met acquaintances who asked, he happily introduced her, while Lu Ming continued to show her off, which she found hilarious.
