Before Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei sat down, half of the bacon that they had spent so much effort to make had already entered Chu Yue's bowl.
After all, Li A-mei is a mother. She is faster than Chu Yaoyao in both thinking and reaction. She quickly sat down, reached out to pick up the meat, and reminded, "Yaoyao, you are tired from making lunch. Hurry up and sit down to eat. Mom will pick up the meat for you."
The chopsticks she had just stretched out had not yet touched the meat when they were grabbed by Lu Zhanlin.
Lu Zhanlin picked up the meat slices and put them in Lu Yuanbao's small bowl. "Yuanbao, you're still growing, eat more."
"Dad, you too. Recovering from injuries requires a lot of nutrition. You should eat meat too." Lu Yuanbao picked up another piece of meat and put it in Lu Zhanlin's bowl.
There were slices of meat in Chu Yue's bowl, and she kept reaching out to pick up slices of meat to eat.
The three of them took turns picking up food with chopsticks, and before Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei could react, the whole pot of bacon had been eaten up, and the two cooks didn't get any taste of meat at all.
Chu Yaoyao's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Li A-mei quickly said, "Yaoyao, you have a slim figure, it doesn't matter if you don't eat meat. We still have eggs if we don't have meat, eat eggs."
She changed the direction of her chopsticks and used them to pick up the eggs.
However, every time Li A-mei stretched out her hand, Lu Zhanlin picked up the chopsticks at the same time and always managed to take away the food that Li A-mei liked first.
Lu Zhanlin no longer passed some food to Chu Yue or Lu Yuanbao, he ate it himself.
Therefore, even if Li A'mei looked over with a dark and critical gaze, what she met was Lu Zhanlin's even darker and colder gaze. They could show off in front of Chu Yue, but in front of Lu Zhanlin, they dared not even fart.
Even in a wheelchair, he was scary and frightening.
At the last meal, Chu Yue’s family of three ate happily, with shiny lard on their mouths, while Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao could only eat some vegetable leaves with their rice.
Chu Yue put the chopsticks in her hand on the table, stood up and said, "I'm full and tired. I'm going to take a nap."
When Lu Yuanbao heard this, he immediately stuffed the last few mouthfuls of rice in the small bowl into his mouth, stood up with Chu Yue, and prepared to leave the table.
A-mei Li suddenly threw the chopsticks in her hand and said angrily, "You just patted your butt after eating and want to leave? Why don't you clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes."
This was her subconscious reaction, a habit ingrained in her bones from early years.
All the laundry and cooking at home were left to the original owner.
The person in front of her at this moment was not the original owner, but Chu Yue.
Chu Yue chuckled and said, "I wash the dishes? Sister Li, in what capacity do you want me to wash the dishes? Am I the mistress of this house, or a servant you bought? How come you forgot your identities after just cooking a meal? Don't you want to be Lu Zhanlin's wife? If you don't want to be one, just tell me directly. It's not impossible for me to wash the dishes—"
"No!" Li A-mei immediately changed her tone, "I'll wash it! I'll wash it!"
Chu Yue swept a mocking look across Li A'mei's slightly trembling mouth. After eating and drinking, she took Lu Yuanbao away and left. Before entering the small room, she was still muttering.
"It's great to get married these days. Not only do you get another wife, but you also get another housekeeper to take care of things. I would have thought that both of you were dependent on Lu Zhanlin..."
Chu Yaoyao was so angry when she heard Chu Yue's suggestive words that she wanted to stand up from her chair, but Li A'mei held her down under the table!
"Son-in-law, Yaoyao will like it. Let Yaoyao wash the dishes later." Li A'mei tried hard to restore Chu Yaoyao's image in front of Lu Zhanlin and was determined to be a capable and good daughter-in-law.
Lu Zhanlin nodded, seemingly without any doubt.
He pushed the wheelchair back a little.
When Chu Yaoyao saw Lu Zhanlin move, she thought that now that Chu Yue was not around, it was a good time for her to contact Lu Zhanlin, so she immediately stopped eating and stood up and spoke.
"Brother Zhan Lin, I'll push you back to your room."
"No need." Lu Zhanlin flexibly controlled the wheelchair, turned around and refused Chu Yaoyao's help. He said in a low voice, "Wash the dishes, tidy up the yard and the vegetable garden in the yard."
"The yard...?" Chu Yaoyao's eyes widened. "Brother Zhan Lin, it's summer now. The sun is so bright, and you want me to tidy up the yard in the middle of the day?"
Lu Zhanlin said, "When Chu Yue was the head of the family, she was able to keep the yard tidy and clean, and have fresh vegetables for every meal. How come you can't do it? You are not as good as Chu Yue, this engagement-"
"I can do it! Brother Zhan Lin, I can do it! It's just tidying up the vegetable patch in the yard. Chu Yue can do it, so I can do it too!"
When Chu Yaoyao heard Lu Zhanlin mention Chu Yue, she became anxious and quickly interrupted him.
A sneer flashed across Lu Zhanlin's lips, and he continued in a cold voice, "I am a patient now, still in the recuperation period, I need more rest, don't disturb me before dinner tonight."
As he spoke, he controlled the wheelchair and returned to the room, without even glancing at Chu Yaoyao out of the corner of his eye.
Chu Yaoyao watched Lu Zhanlin's back and heard the sound of the door closing. Her true colors were revealed in an instant. She complained to Li A-mei, "Mom, I'm here to be the wife of the regiment leader! I'm not here to be a farmer! Not only can you teach me how to cook, but now you want to teach me how to grow vegetables! Can't Lu Zhanlin, a regiment leader, afford to buy vegetables with his salary?"
Li A-mei was thinking in her mind, "Yaoyao, think about the house in Lu Zhanlin's hometown, a two-story cement house! You have to endure a little hardship now, and when you get the engagement back, you will be the mistress of the house, and Lu Zhanlin's monthly salary will not be yours. Then you can buy whatever you want. Just be patient for now, be patient..."
Getting their marriage back was like a carrot dropped in front of Chu Yaoyao and Li A-mei, tempting them to move forward step by step.
Chu Yue listened carefully to the noise outside the house and heard the conversation between the mother and daughter clearly.
Humph, you haven’t even realized you’ve fallen into a trap.
After Chu Yue withdrew her gaze, she turned around and saw Lu Yuanbao holding a fan in his hand, fanning her.
She reached out and touched Lu Yuanbao's little face. "Yuanbao, we will stay with these two bad guys for a few days. It won't be long. When they can't stand it anymore, we don't need to chase them away. They will leave on their own. Then life will return to normal. Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid. As long as I'm with my mother, I'm not afraid." Lu Yuanbao said, holding a fan, "Mom, you're tired. You should take a rest."
"Okay, let's take a break." Chu Yue had been away for such a long time that she naturally missed Lu Yuanbao.
She held Lu Yuanbao in her arms, and the two of them lay on Lu Yuanbao's small bed, leaning against each other. She waved the fan in her hand and slowly fell asleep.
That day, Chu Yue just rested and slept. When she opened her eyes again, it was time for dinner.
As for the vegetable garden, Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei had only taken care of half of it, and there was still a lot left to do.
Lu Zhanlin said with a dark face, "Since we can't finish it in the afternoon, let's continue in the evening."
In one sentence, it directly announced the miserable fate of Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei.
How they messed up the house, and how they cleaned it up under Lu Zhanlin's orders.
Not only do I have to cook and tidy up the vegetable garden, but there are also endless clothes to wash the next day, as well as bed sheets and quilt covers. They all have to be washed anyway.
Because Lu Zhanlin said, "The weather has been good recently, so washing and drying it again can prevent mold."
It's not that the weather is good. The sun is shining brightly every day, and the temperature is scorching the earth. Even if you soak your hands in cold water to wash clothes, as soon as you exert force, beads of sweat will drip from your forehead.
Chu Yaoyao got blisters on her fingers from cooking yesterday, and her palms were cut by small stones while tidying up the vegetable garden. Her hands were covered with scars. Now that her hands were placed in the water, the wounds became swollen and bigger.
"Mom, look at my hands...my hands...they've become like this."
"Yueyue, be patient, be patient. As long as you can bear it, your good days are still to come..."
Chu Yaoyao has heard the three words "be patient" countless times in the past two days!
Her original plan was that even though Lu Zhanlin's legs were crippled, she would still be willing to devote herself to him because of his status as the head of the group and his good looks.
Chu Yaoyao was frantically planning a "seduction" plan in her mind. As long as she had sex with Lu Zhanlin, it would be easy to drive Chu Yue away.
But now, not only is she dirty and ugly, but every night after work, she feels sore and weak all over, and can't muster any energy at all.
Even if she forced herself to knock on Lu Zhanlin's door, she found it was closed. Lu Zhanlin didn't give Chu Yaoyao any chance to get close to him.
In this room, from Lu Zhanlin to Chu Yue, and then to Lu Yuanbao, no one had to work. Only these two worked like slaves.
Chu Yaoyao threw the clothes into the basin and shouted angrily, "I won't wash them anymore! I won't wash them anymore! Whoever wants to wash them can go ahead and wash them!"
at the same time.
Chu Yue held Lu Yuanbao's hand and walked out of the house after taking a nap.
She said to Chu Yaoyao, "Chu Yaoyao, why don't you build a chicken coop when you're tidying up the yard? The manure in the chicken coop is good fertilizer, and you should spread it all on the vegetable garden. Without chicken manure as fertilizer, how can your vegetables grow?"
"Chu Yue, you do nothing all day long and are idle, and now you want to meddle in my affairs. Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?" Chu Yaoyao put her hands on her hips and angrily said to Chu Yue, the prodigal.
She had done so much work, and was holding back a lot of anger in her heart, wishing she could use this opportunity to have a good fight with Chu Yue.
At that time, as long as Chu Yue dared to take action or talk back, Chu Yaoyao would not only make Chu Yue look good, but also let Lu Zhanlin see Chu Yue's ugly true face. She would then cry and pretend to be weak to win Lu Zhanlin's sympathy.
Anyway, men are the most susceptible to this.
Chu Yaoyao had prepared her tears, waiting to cry.
result--
Chu Yue shrugged indifferently, "Chu Yaoyao, I don't care about you. It's up to you whether you do it or not. I just kindly reminded you. Alas, it's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing the kindness of a good person. If you don't do as well as me, don't blame Lu Zhanlin for looking down on you."
"How could I, Chu Yaoyao, be inferior to you!" Chu Yaoyao's tears could not flow back, and the anger in her heart became even stronger.
Before leaving, Chu Yue acted like a kind person again, "Chu Yaoyao, quickly look back."
