The Lucky Star Control Corporation in the 70s (30)

Yin Xu distributed four eggs to each of them. Yang Yuelan was reluctant to eat hers, so she pushed it. “Xiangxiang, have this one and take good care of your body.”

Chu Xiang put a peeled egg into her bowl and said smilingly, “Mom, eat it. Your complexion looks unwell. It is you who should take good care of your health. When I was in the hospital, I asked those doctors and nurses. There are many ways to take care of the body. In the future, I will take care of the meals and take care of our health.” She paused and asked, “Are you okay with this? Will it be too much for me to be in charge of this?”

Yang Yuelan and Yin Qiuwen hurriedly denied, “No, no.”

Yang Yuelan took a bite of the egg and smiled, “You care about us. How could we not know that? From now on, we will listen to you, and you’re in charge of the meals. Later, I’m going to wash the dishes. You shouldn’t compete with me on this. I can do nothing every day, just staying idle.”

Chu Xiang nodded in agreement. She never planned to take over the Yin family’s chores. She was just going to be the cook. In terms of house chores, she only liked cooking. From Yang Yuelan and Yin Qiuwen’s point of view, they were so kind to her purely because they liked her. Of course, she wouldn’t take advantage of them. In her eyes, Yang Yuelan and Yin Xu’s health were all minor problems, and curing them was a piece of cake. She would cure them both before leaving, and along the way, she would take Yin Qiuwen to college with her.

After the meal, Yang Yuelan went to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen, while Yin Qiuwen took their clothes to the river to wash them. Many women who met her inquired about her new sister-in-law, and she happily told them that she was especially nice. Her response drove everyone into confusion, unable to figure things out.

How could the “broom star” and the “unlucky girl” that everyone disliked be so well received by the Yin family? From the mother-in-law to the sister-in-law, they liked her very much. Even Yin Xu learned how to pamper her. Was Chu Xiang so lucky? But wasn’t she doomed? This was contradictory!

Chu Xiang has become a hotly debated figure in the village again. The matter on her side was spread to the Chu family word for word. The Chu family was now diametrically opposed to her, so of course, they wished her a miserable life. The worse she was, the more they could prove that their decision to split up was right. Unexpectedly, the Yin family ended up treating Chu Xiang nicely, and even liked her very much. They, however, refused to recognize them as in-laws. This was too much of a slap in their face. Grandma Chu even ordered Chu Lan to go to the mountains to catch rabbits. No matter what, they must let everyone see the lucky star in the Chu family. They would never care for that broom star.

Of course, Chu Lan also wanted to steal the limelight. Liking Yin Xu was her past life, and it was long overdue, but the happier Chu Xiang was now married to Yin Xu, the more unbalanced she felt in her heart. Why could Chu Xiang be happy anywhere? She must be more likable than Chu Xiang.

Chu Lan specially invited Song Yang to accompany her, wanting to show her good fortune and good luck unfold right in front of him. She used reviewing as an excuse. She listened to Song Yang explain two problems on the way, but she never paid close attention to them. Before Song Yang could finish explaining, she changed the subject and discussed interesting things in the village, making Song Yang laugh the whole time.

The two said they were going to dig wild vegetables, but it was actually more like an outing. They chatted and laughed together, and before they knew it, time flew by and half the day passed. When Song Yang said that he wanted to go back, Chu Lan was shocked to realize that a long time had passed. The crucial thing was that she hadn’t encountered any godsend such as hares, pheasants, and wild eggs within such a long time. She didn’t even dig wild vegetables that were particularly good.

Her heart panicked. After parting with Song Yang, she went into the forest again. Fearing that there would be no game outside, she deliberately went deeper into the woods. However, the deeper she went, the more anxious she became.

Nothing! Nothing! There was nothing at all! Her luck seemed to have run out, and she couldn’t find anything good!

Chu Lan had forgotten everything in her heart. She was panicking and just wanted to find something to prove she was lucky, so she kept walking and walking, and finally got lost in the forest!

It was getting darker and darker, and it happened that it was a cloudy night without the moon. She couldn’t find any light, and this terrified her. She was scurrying around in the forest like a headless fly, running around desperately, looking for a way down the mountain.

Chu Lan’s mother was also worried. After asking several people, they all said that they didn’t see her. She was so angry that she could not help complaining several times. In addition, she blamed Grandma Chu for looking for trouble and causing Chu Lan to disappear.

She could now hold her head high, and due to having a lucky daughter, she was not afraid of Grandma Chu. Grandma Chu took offense, but still unable to sit still, she ordered someone to find the Captain.

Losing a person in the village was horrendous, so the Captain immediately called a team to search the mountain. Song Yang and Chu Lan went up the mountain together, so he was confused when he heard that she wasn’t home. However, knowing that people kept saying they were in some kind of relationship, he didn’t speak up to prevent any more trouble from springing up. Anyway, the Captain was leading people to look for her. They could definitely find her.

Chu Lan was lost in the forest. Her clothes were ripped off by the branches; she fell several times and lost a shoe. Her body and face were dirty, her hair was messy, and her face was filled with panic and helplessness.

The Captain and others searched for her for two hours before they found her. All they saw, however, was her beggar appearance. In that second, questions popped out in everyone’s hearts. Didn’t they say that Chu Lan was a lucky star? Wasn’t she the lucky girl? Where was her good fortune then?
