In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 234 The Lu Family Cannot Have Zero (Bonus Chapter for Silver Alliance)

I heard the sound of the door opening from the entryway.

Lu Xiaotong jumped up from the sofa with a somersault, almost kicking Li Dongxue.

She got up and went to the entrance hall, where she saw Lu Zhao with a strange middle-aged man. She then strode out.

"Uncle Zhao!!!"

Lu Zhao pressed down on Lu Xiaotong's forehead like the Buddha, preventing her from pouncing on him again.

"Uncle Zhao, what are you doing?"

Lu Xiaotong waved her hands, almost managing to hook her arms around Lu Zhao's back.

Lu Zhao said, "I've already told you, you're not allowed to pounce on me like you used to."

As boys grow up, they should avoid their mothers; as girls grow up, they should avoid their fathers.

Although he changed Lu Xiaotong's diapers when she was little and bathed her until she was six, she is now sixteen or seventeen years old.

Lu Xiaotong took a step back, pouted, opened her arms, and said in a wronged tone, "Then can you hug me?"

"childish."

Lu Zhao reluctantly stepped forward and gave him a gentle hug.

It's normal for children to have Oedipus or Electra complexes. As long as parents are mindful of boundaries and teach their children to avoid them, a little dependence isn't a bad thing.

He has about ten years of experience raising children.

In the very first year, Lu Zhao really wanted to kneel down before Lu Xiaotong so that she could sleep at night.

He sleeps during class during the day and cries and pesters me to play with him at night.

At that time, Lu Zhao was not a mental superhuman, nor did he have such strong physical abilities.

"This is Dr. Zhang, who is here today to treat your grandmother."

Lu Zhao introduced Zhang Hong, and Lu Xiaotong bowed slightly in a demure manner.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

"Hello."

Looking at the two who looked so alike, Zhang Hong praised, "Little sister, you're just as good-looking as Comrade Lu. You must be very popular at school."

Lu Xiaotong obediently replied, "Uncle Zhao said that I should focus on my studies, and I can get married and have children after graduating from university."

Lu Zhao said, "I only said the first half of the sentence; the second half was said by your mother."

At this moment, Luo Xiuhua, the mother, and Tian Yuanfeng, the sister-in-law, heard the commotion and went to the entrance hall.

Lu Zhao introduced him to them, and their eyes lit up when they heard that he was an extraordinary doctor.

There are two professions that are most attractive to ordinary people: working in the public sector and being a doctor.

Extraordinary doctors surpass officials in the eyes of ordinary people.

Because people always get sick, especially ordinary people.

Zhang Hong was warmly received by his sister-in-law Tian Yuanfeng and mother Luo Xiuhua. Lu Zhao was immediately pushed aside without even needing to speak.

A pair of clear eyes stared at him.

Lu Zhao turned his head and saw a handsome face; Li Dongxue was staring at him quietly.

Lu Zhao asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Li Dongxue replied, "My mom gave me a fried dough stick."

What does "our mom" mean?

Lu Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth; he decided to ignore the wording.

Because if you really delve into it, this matter has a source.

About two years after Lu Xiaotong came to the orphanage, following the federal reforms, the living standards of the Chinese community gradually improved and stabilized.

Lu Zhao's mother and sister-in-law worked at the arsenal and often brought him and Lu Xiaotong food. At that time, Li Dongxue also helped take care of the children.

At that time, I asked Li Dongxue how her parents were doing.

Xiaoxue burst into tears, and her mother was heartbroken, saying that she would be Xiaoxue's mother from now on.

Two and a half years ago, Li Dongxue was promoted to major and sent all the money she had saved to Lao Tang, part of which was used to pay for her mother's medical expenses.

Lu Zhao was unaware of this matter until the middle of last month when he sent money home and inquired about the expenses, discovering they were more than expected.

Just for Lu Xiaotong's life development, a month's worth of various meal subsidies would cost four thousand yuan.

The money I sent before was simply not enough to cover my expenses.

After questioning him, his mother told him that Old Tang often sent money to the family. When she asked Old Tang, she learned that the money belonged to Li Dongxue.

This roundabout way of thinking reminded Lu Zhao of the time when Li Dongxue gave him the gloves.

This girl just loves to hide things.

Zhang Hong began taking Luo Xiuhua's pulse, closed his eyes for three minutes, then reopened them and asked, "Have you taken any drugs made by superhumans?"

Lu Zhao replied, "Yes, sister-in-law, please take out the medicine."

Tian Yuanfeng took out the small medicine bottle that Lin Xuemei had given her.

Since taking this medicine, Luo Xiuhua's body no longer has edema, and she no longer needs anyone to take care of her daily life. She has gradually become a normal person again.

Although Lin Zhiyan didn't say it explicitly, Lu Zhao could tell that the medicine was very precious.

The effects of extraordinary medicine need to be controlled by the individual. The fact that this medicine is not controlled by an extraordinary person means that its effects are very stable.

Zhang Hong took the medicine, sniffed it, examined it closely, and said with surprise, "This medicine is of a very high grade. It must have been made by a fourth-level transcendent being. You can get this medicine every month?"

Just because Lu Zhao's ordinary family can't get it doesn't mean the Lin family can't.

Lu Zhao said, "I can get one bottle every month."

Zhang Hongdao said, "Then I won't prescribe any medicine. I will come to your home once a month to provide acupuncture and physical therapy to help with the digestion of the medicine."

Lu Zhao said, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Zhang."

"fine."

After lunch, Zhang Hong left.

Lu Zhao and Li Dongxue rested for a while, then got up to leave.

"Mom, we have to go now." "Be careful."

After her mother gave her a word of advice, Lu Xiaotong stood up and said, "Uncle Zhao, I want to go out and play with you too."

Lu Zhao refused, saying, "We have official business to attend to, not going out for fun."

The fewer people who know about martial law, the better.

Lu Xiaotong looked unconvinced and said, "You're lying! You're clearly going on a date. I'm going to tell Sister Lin."

Upon hearing this, the mother and sister-in-law exchanged a glance.

They're not blind; they noticed the problem as early as the beginning of the year, but they didn't want to say much.

Parents' control over their children is two-way. If a child is always a source of worry from a young age, then the parents will habitually try to control the child.

Lu Zhao has been very mature since childhood, which means that Luo Xiuhua has basically never disciplined her youngest son. Apart from their mother-son relationship, they treat each other as equals and let him make his own decisions.

The son is outstanding in appearance and has had no shortage of suitors since he was a child, including Li Dongxue and that Miss Lin.

Because of their long-standing relationship, Luo Xiuhua didn't ask any questions.

But to say I wasn't curious would be impossible.

Today, Lu Xiaotong, carrying out her grandmother's request, is going to question Lu Zhao.

So who exactly is the Lu family's daughter-in-law?
Lu Zhao said with a headache, "Grandma, don't make things difficult for me. I'm really talking about serious business. I'll give you some pocket money later, okay?"

Lu Xiaotong shook her head and said, "I'll go tell Sister Lin, and she'll give me more pocket money."

"That's not fair of you. Xiaoxue took care of you for six years back then."

Lu Zhao pulled Li Dongxue aside and kept giving her meaningful glances, hoping to get her help.

Lu Xiaotong changed the subject and asked, "So Sister Li is more important than Sister Lin?"

"..."

Lu Zhao was speechless.

This girl really needs to be taught a lesson.

Li Dongxue smiled slightly, seemingly having no intention of stepping in to help.

Rewinding to two hours earlier, she arrived at the Lu family home in the morning and received a warm welcome. Lu's mother inquired about her well-being, rekindling their relationship, and subtly inquired about Lu Zhao's romantic status.

Lu Zhao is almost twenty-seven years old, and he's approaching thirty. It's time for him to settle down and start a family.

Originally, Luo Xiuhua's ideal daughter-in-law was Li Dongxue, as the two had a strong foundation of trust and did not need to go through any adjustment period.

But Miss Lin seemed to have an unusual relationship with Lu Zhao, as she was thoroughly 'beaten' by the Lu family on her first visit.

Luo Xiuhua's health improved thanks to the medicine she received. Now she can take care of herself and even go downstairs to dance in the square.

This is also why she couldn't ask Lu Zhao.

It seems like they're both doing well.

Li Dongxue only answered that they were childhood friends and did not acknowledge any other relationship.

She didn't want outsiders involved in this matter, including Lu Zhao's mother, who was also an outsider and didn't need any outside help.

If she survives, she will surely be the ultimate victor. If not, then let her Five Thunder Divine Powers speak for themselves.

As a martial marquis possessing the Heavenly Divine Power, he has the right to be capricious; Li Dongxue only asking for Lu Zhao is not excessive. It neither harms the interests of the Federation nor endangers the people.

On the contrary, if Comrade Lu Zhao continues to drag his feet, it will endanger the stability of the Federation and requires a strong crackdown.

So she doesn't care about the present moment, and Lin Biaozai can only be arrogant for a while. One day her power will fade away.

Li Dongxue said, "Alright, Xiaotong, Azhao and I are indeed going out to take care of some important business."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaotong's bright eyes widened in surprise, and she muttered in dissatisfaction, "Sister Li, you traitor! I was clearly helping you."

Li Dongxue laughed and said, "I didn't say I needed your help."

"Then I'll have to go help Sister Lin."

"Then I'll spank you, just like when you were little."

"Xiao Tong is under neutral protection, you can't hit me."

Then Li Dongxue took Lu Zhao's hand and left. As the door closed, the living room was quiet for a few seconds.

Lu Xiaotong said with certainty, "Uncle Zhao is a scumbag. I'll deduct one point from his image in my mind. Now he only has ninety-nine points left!"

"This child is always flirting with women."

Luo Xiuhua sighed and said, "We should have sorted things out sooner rather than later, so as not to ruin our harmony in the end."

The eldest sister-in-law disagreed, saying, "Ah Zhao was able to get promoted back, which must be thanks to that Miss Lin. She even brought you medicine, which helped improve your condition. How could she just cut it off like that?"

“Xiaoxue grew up with Azhao since she was little, and she has helped us a lot over the years through Dean Tang. We can’t just cut ties with her like that.”

Luo Xiuhua said, "We can't just keep going on like this, can we?"

"Let's not meddle in the affairs of young people."

Tian Yuanfeng is usually very mercenary, but now she sees things surprisingly clearly.

As she tidied the table, she said, "We'll take it one step at a time. If things can continue like this, then we'll stay together; if not, then we'll break up. There's no need for so much love and hate entanglement; it's all just idle people with no job."

“From childhood to adulthood, I’ve never seen Ah Zhao particularly fond of any girl. Now, with his job, he’s often gone for a month at a time. Those who can’t stand it have already left, and those who can don’t care about this short period of time.”

Luo Xiuhua was speechless.

At least the son brought back a woman.

Her daughter-in-law was right when she said that Lu Zhao had never shown any interest in any member of the opposite sex since he was a child, and sometimes she even doubted her son's sexual orientation.

It seems there shouldn't be any problems now.

Although it's not good to be entangled with two girls, the Lu family cannot have both.

Lu Xiaotong asked, "Who does Grandma like more?"

Luo Xiuhua replied, "Emotionally, it's definitely Xiaoxue, but I feel that Miss Lin is more suitable."

"Is it because Sister Lin's family is rich?"

"Of course not, what do you take Grandma for? It's just that Xiaoxue has changed a lot since she came out of the army, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who can live a stable life."

"Hmm... Sister Li has become a bit scary, like those big shots on TV, she has a kind of imposing presence."
