Chapter 139 Don't Mind?

"Go make dinner, I'll be back before dinner time."

Dong Chunlan didn't dare to say anything more. She looked at her husband's back, then she withdrew her gaze, calmed herself down, and rushed to the kitchen to cook.

When it was dinner time, Dong Chunlan knocked on the doors of Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin's rooms.

At this time, Fu Yanlin was carefully drawing a map of Congjia Village, while Qiao Jin was sitting beside him carefully checking the medical supplies.

There were too many people in her village, and the few medicines she brought might not last long.

It will take five more days at most, and then we will have to find a way to seek help.

The team is still monitoring the situation on the mountainside. Judging from Fu Yanlin's speed, it shouldn't take that long.

Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin looked at each other, then Qiao Jin stood up and walked towards the door, and saw Dong Chunlan standing outside with a smile on her face.

"The meal is ready, come and eat."

Qiao Jin said with some surprise: "Aunt Lan, we are very grateful to be able to stay here. There is an epidemic in the village now, and supplies are tight. I am sorry to trouble you."

"Don't say that. Le Fei and I are not stingy people. If we don't have a broad mind, how can we lead the Congjia Village forward? Let's just make do with a meal on the first day, and you can solve your own problems in the future, okay?"

Seeing Dong Chunlan so enthusiastic, Qiao Jin turned around and looked at Fu Yanlin.

Fu Yanlin had a calm expression and nodded to her. Qiao Jin then replied, "Okay, then we'll thank Aunt Lan."

Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin walked out together. When they arrived at the main hall, they happened to meet Cong Lefei who had just entered the room wearing a mask.

He pushed open the door and walked into the house, and the wind and rain outside seemed to rush in with him.

As soon as Le Fei entered the room, he shouted, "Dong Chunlan, hurry up and get a towel. It's stormy outside. I'm afraid the weather will be bad tonight. You can't go out."

Seeing this, Dong Chunlan hurried out of the kitchen, took out the sweet potatoes and put them on the table, then went to find a towel and handed it to Cong Lefei to wipe his body.

Fu Yanlin asked calmly, "Uncle, where have you been so late? Our preliminary judgment is that this epidemic is highly contagious. You'd better visit less often. It will be troublesome if you get sick."

Hearing Fu Yanlin's concern, Cong Le Fei glanced at Fu Yanlin, but did not have any doubts.

He smiled and said, "Well, I am a worrier. I feel uneasy if I don't go to check on the patient. There is no doctor in the village now. How can I sleep well if I don't go to check on the patient?"

"Also, a few days ago, a widower died at home. If I hadn't discovered it, his body would have rotted at home. People only live for so many years, and they're all gone because of this epidemic!"

Speaking of this, Zong Lefei's face became a little gloomy, as if he was secretly regretful.

He walked to the table and sat down, then looked at Fu Yanlin and Qiao Jin, his eyes full of expectation, "The next thing for the village will depend on you. I really have no other choice. If you hadn't come to save them, this village would probably be finished."

Qiao Jin nodded, telling Cong Lefei not to worry.

"I would also like to thank my uncle for his hospitality tonight. You took us in on our first day here and gave us a sumptuous dinner. I am really grateful."

Cong Lefei asked them to pick up the sweet potatoes on the table and said, "We don't have much food at home. Someone asked us if we had any extra food today. I'm running out of food. I thought you were here too, so I had to decline their request."

"So, food should not be wasted. Eat more, otherwise if you go hungry one day, it will be our village's fault for not taking good care of you."

Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin picked up the sweet potatoes and started eating.

Then, Cong Lefei pretended to pat his head casually, stood up, walked to the cabinet, opened the door, took out a bottle of homemade rice wine and handed it to Fu Yanlin.

Fu Yanlin declined, "Uncle, I don't drink."

"This wine is not too strong! Drinking a little wine can keep away the cold. Our house is cold in the winter and hot in the summer. It's so painful to live here."

"You are wearing so thin clothes, drinking some wine can warm your stomach. This wine is brewed by me. Usually Dong Chunlan and I are reluctant to drink it. My son is not at home, so I have never had the chance to drink it."

"We are really happy to have two people to talk to us now. Da Zhuang, if you trust Uncle Cong, please give me a favor and have a drink with me, how about that?"

Fu Yanlin looked at Cong Lefei's simple eyes and could not see anything unusual on his face.

In the end, he took the bottle and poured himself a glass of rice wine.

Cong Lefei gestured again: "Pour a glass for Miss Qiao as well. Don't worry, you won't get drunk. Have a drink with your brother, and we can all sleep well tonight."

Qiao Jin stared at the wine in Fu Yanlin's glass, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.

But in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, she had to agree: "Then uncle, I will just drink a cup casually."

Uncle Cong immediately smiled and said, "That's right, how could I harm you? We are all gathered here today just for fun, don't think too much, Uncle Cong is a real person, so many people in the village, young and old, trust me, don't they?"

"Uncle has worked really hard over the years to lead the development of the villagers."

"That's right, let's just relax today."

"Come!"

As he spoke, Zong Lefei raised the glass in his hand, and Fu Yanlin and Qiao Jin had no choice but to clink glasses with him.

At the dinner table, Cong Lefei kept introducing the villagers.

After the meal, Zong Lefei was a little drunk, his face was flushed, and he looked black with red.

Looking at Fu Yanlin again, his handsome face was only slightly flushed, and his eyes were still deep and calm, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

Dong Chunlan wanted to sober up Cong Lefei, but Cong Lefei kept drinking more and more. He raised his glass and swore, "As the head of the village, I will definitely make everyone live a good life!"

Dong Chunlan was so anxious that she kept blinking and patted Cong Lefei's head, trying to wake him up.

But this slap instead angered Cong Lefei, and he pushed Dong Chunlan away!

Dong Chunlan was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground by the sudden force. The back of her head hit the ground hard with a bang, and she gasped in pain!

Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin were stunned by what was happening before their eyes.

Especially Qiao Jin, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands clenched into fists unconsciously under the table.

Dong Chunlan got up from the ground with a grim face, covered her aching head and looked at Cong Lefei, her heart full of regret for the humiliation.

What worries her even more is that if outsiders discover anything unusual, the consequences will be disastrous.

She screamed, "Cong Lefei, stop messing around after drinking! There are outsiders here!"

Le Fei was staggering, but when he noticed that Fu Yanlin and Qiao Jin were looking at him, he seemed to wake up suddenly.

His eyes regained some calmness and he immediately straightened up.

It was only then that they discovered that Dong Chunlan had a swollen bump on her head, and realized that the matter had become serious.

He quickly stood up to help Dong Chunlan, and pretended to be concerned and asked, "Are you okay? I pushed you by accident just now. I'm so sorry."

Even though it hurt a lot, Dong Chunlan could only endure the pain and show understanding and said, "It's no big deal. Old man, you should pay attention and stop acting like a child every time. The children in the village have got calluses on their ears from listening to you talk about reason."

Cong Lefei smiled and said, "I just can't help wanting to chat more when I see young people. It may be because I'm used to commanding people and I can't change it all of a sudden. Do you mind?"
