Chapter 2553 - 1476: Family Reunion (Part 2)

They didn’t really understand the concept of destiny, but they did think about their previous attempts at starting a business, all the unlucky incidents over the years, becoming the poorest household in the village. Perhaps it was because of that.

There’s a lot to say, but not at the doorstep, so they moved everything inside with their son and daughter.

Perhaps it’s because this place is too poor; the nearby residents have either moved away or don’t live here. None of their neighbors were home.

Luo Feifei didn’t come from the entrance of the village but appeared at the door. Her arrival did not draw any attention, nor did her bringing so many gifts.

No one gathered around the public figure’s arrival.

Luo Feifei purposely did it this way.

She didn’t want the Xia Family to know she was back.

Even though she knew there might be some Xia Family spies here.

This person might be from this village, or from this county.

Or it could be some of the True Lady’s classmates and their relatives, her former best friends, some of the youths she grew up with.

And their parents and relatives.

The gifts weren’t in a hurry to be given.

When they entered the door, her biological parents saw their daughter dressed so brightly. Seeing their home so old, they didn’t know whether to invite her to sit down.

Her sister cleverly went to pour some tea, although it was just plain water and cheap tea leaves brewed together.

...

"Sister, have a cup of tea." Luo Xiaomei beamed with a bright smile.

Luo Xiaodi, too, was eager to please. He wiped the sofa with a tissue and then wiped his hands with a tissue before happily reaching to hold his sister’s hand.

"Sister, please sit!"

Luo Xiaodi grasped his sister’s soft white hand, only then realizing how different her hand was from that of someone accustomed to doing household chores.

So soft and white!

The feel was just different.

In school activities, there were also hand-holding or other events. Even though young boys and girls weren’t allowed to date, some activities permitted hand-holding — it wasn’t romantic, more a gesture of friendship.

The thought flashed through Luo Xiaodi’s mind. Outwardly, he still showed his joy, and he was thrilled that this fairy-like sister was his own.

At that moment, there was a sense of pride.

Like Luo Xiaomei, they felt honored to have such a beautiful and renowned sister.

They didn’t feel any resentment that their sister was taken away and didn’t share their hard life.

Seeing that their sister was doing well, they only hoped she’d occasionally visit them, bring some gifts like now.

No need to live the ordinary hard days they endure.

This excellent girl should lead a good life, raised with a silver spoon, living in wealth and honor.

She could enjoy a rich lady’s lifestyle, not live a humble, poor life like rural women.

They were used to hard days, and they could barely endure it; let alone someone who had lived a privileged life before.

Luo Feifei didn’t care whether it was dirty here or how cheap the tea was.

When her sister offered the tea, she said thank you and drank it.

Luo Xiaodi pulled her to sit, and she sat candidly.

She didn’t mind at all.

She didn’t have that superiority of a public figure or anyone who grew up in luxury looking down on their poverty.

Sitting was unfamiliar, and they weren’t close either.

Luo Feifei felt familial warmth here. At this moment, she realized how her life with the Xia Family, affluent as it was, felt a bit different.

That difference was a lack of familial blood ties.

It turned out they weren’t her biological relatives.

Even though the Xia Family acted so hypocritically, in front of her, they’d never show she wasn’t theirs.

They wouldn’t let her know she wasn’t born to them, as they needed her.

After drinking the tea, Luo Feifei handed out the gifts she brought for her family.

Seeing her family so happy made her happy too.

Then she mentioned setting up an online shop for them.

This online shop can be managed by her parents, and all they need to do is deliver the products when there’s a sale.

Not sending, but delivering.

Someone will help them find people to assist at that time.

As for how to manage the online shop?

They don’t need to worry. Now, they temporarily stay here to divert others’ attention; they can continue studying and working normally.

They won’t move for now; it’s beneficial that nearby neighbors aren’t staying here.

But in busy cities, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, and even in county towns, there’s monitoring on every street, risking being watched.

They can appear the same as before in clothing and food, slightly better than before.

Luo Feifei’s arrangements naturally gained family support.

Her parents first understood that the products for sale were supplied by their daughter, which were previous gifts from others.

These supplies aren’t a worry, as the online shop and bank account are under her father’s newly opened names.

No one else could trace it, and the money they earn remains secret.

The online shop owner’s name is encrypted, too.

In the village, there are many with the same or different surnames and names.

Even within a county, there are many with the same or different surnames who have identical names.

They could use this fact so that even if someone traces the money flow from this name’s account, they can’t pinpoint it to him.

The number used was specially opened, and this phone number is used by their puppet.

Luo Feifei arranged for their puppet to handle online shop deliveries.

Ordinary products, especially second-hand ones, don’t need to go through postal stations.

Every product is genuine, just varying in price.

The samples from clients, even these high-cost products, are all authentic.

None were cheap, and sending via postal stations risks loss or damage.

Luo Feifei prepared for express deliveries nationwide or for speedy delivery for overseas purchases.

Anyway, after people place an order, it ships three days later, consolidating products on the same route for one-time delivery.

For overseas orders, they consider what the buyer purchased before deciding on delivery.

Luo Feifei’s plan got mutual consent from her family, even though they had no idea how an online shop works.

All they knew was their life had assurance now.

No longer will they worry about their children’s living or schooling expenses.

Middle school doesn’t charge tuition, but high school still requires tuition, alongside substantial living expenses.

They’ve incurred quite a debt.

The couple’s earnings from handicrafts were wholly insufficient.

Their children, obedient as they were, usually returned on Sundays to help with crafts; today, they didn’t, knowing their sister was back.

Luo Feifei stayed for both lunch and dinner at home, didn’t rent a place, and spent the entire day chatting with them.

It was like they had endless things to talk about.

Luo Feifei didn’t intend to teach her parents how to cultivate.

Instead, she quietly added recovery medicine to their food.

She even added a Power Pill.

Spiritual Spring Water, too, she used generously.

Maybe they wouldn’t transform suddenly, but seeing her parents and siblings drink Spiritual Spring Water and swallow pills brought her a secret delight watching them rush to the bathroom.

After a rich lunch and dinner, they attribute the runs to their previously light meals unable to handle the rich food now, causing diarrhea.

Ah, it’s like wild boars not used to fine chaff – a good life their bodies couldn’t yet handle.

As Luo Feifei was leaving, they were reluctant to see her go.

But they knew this beautiful woman wasn’t likely to stay with them with such poor living conditions.

While they hated to see her go, they knew those joyous times were among the happiest they’d have in life.

They stood at the door, looking at the night sky, where Luo Feifei vanished suddenly. It all seemed so magical, yet they dared not speak of it.
