Too many things have happened to Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao recently. The Chu Yaoyao incident was one, and the accidental fire was another. All the sisters-in-law in the compound heard about it, and they were all very worried. They wanted to go directly to the hospital a few days ago.
Later, she was stopped by Song Hongmei. If so many of them went, it would only cause more trouble. So she gave Chu Yue some time to handle it herself. If she had any questions, she could ask them after returning to the compound.
They waited for quite some time and finally waited for Chu Yue to come back safely. They also heard that Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei had been arrested and all the problems were settled, so they came to take a look.
So the person who came in at this time was not only Chen Fengying. Behind Chen Fengying followed Xia Xiaolan, Wang Chunling, Wang Xiulan, Li Dahua... many other people came.
Among them, Wang Xiulan was the most conspicuous. She was almost five months pregnant, her belly was already round and protruding, and she walked with her feet apart and swaying from side to side.
The yard, which had been silent for a long time, became as lively as the weather.
Chu Yue knew that Chen Fengying and the others would definitely come, and they were the guests she was waiting for. After eating a can of plums, she felt much more energetic and immediately got up to greet them.
Chen Fengying was the first to walk in. As soon as she entered the door, she was so excited to see Chu Yue.
She reminded Xia Xiaolan who was standing beside her, "Give it to me, give me the leaves quickly."
Xia Xiaolan handed over a handful of green pomelo leaves. After Chen Fengying took it, she quickly swept the pomelo leaves over Chu Yue's body.
Chu Yue smiled helplessly, "Sister Chen, I'm fine, nothing happened."
"No, no, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. The grapefruit leaves can remove bad luck. You and Yuanbao should sweep them. After sweeping, you will feel at ease, and so will we."
Wang Chunling, a scholar, nodded and said, "I think Sister Chen is right."
Xia Xiaolan said, "Just bear with it. The smell of grapefruit leaves is refreshing and actually quite pleasant."
Then, Chu Yue just stood there, and Chen Fengying took the pomelo leaves and swept them all over her body, from head to toe, from front to back, leaving no place untouched.
Chen Dazhuang behind him also had a handful of pomelo leaves in his hand, and he swept them over Lu Yuanbao in an imitative manner.
Chen Fengying stopped only when she felt that it was enough. She did not forget to put the pomelo leaves aside and reminded Chu Yue to find a bottle to put them in so that they could be kept for several days.
After completing the mysterious ceremony, the group sat down and talked.
Chen Fengying looked around Chu Yue's house. "Were those two ungrateful people in your family really arrested? Nothing is missing from your home, right? I have never seen such shameless people, bah! Even so, they have the nerve to call them your mother and sister. They just can't stand seeing you doing well, and want to lie on you and suck your blood."
"Those who were captured by the soldiers have been sent to the police station. We caught them red-handed. They can't deny it even if they have three mouths." Chu Yue looked at Chen Fengying, "Sister Chen, this matter can go so smoothly, and I have to thank you."
"What's the point of thanking them? I hate ungrateful people like that. I just asked them to do more work." Chen Fengying said with emotion, "Sister Chu, I can't believe you had such a hard life before. They didn't even consider you as a family member."
"It doesn't matter. Those things are in the past. Now Lu Zhanlin and Yuanbao are my family." Chu Yue said indifferently.
Chen Fengying nodded vigorously, "Yes! It doesn't matter if you don't have those relatives! Don't be afraid, all of us can be your relatives."
Xia Xiaolan echoed, "Yes, we are all your relatives, you are not alone."
Wang Chunling asked worriedly, "Sister Chu, is your store really gone in a fire?"
"Yes, yes, there is also this matter. The fire was so big that day that I saw black smoke."
"The house is burned down, and the things in your store are also burned? This...how much money is lost. Sister Chu, if you have any difficulties, you can tell us. Although we don't have much money, it is definitely no problem for us to give a token of our appreciation."
"How is Yuanbao? I heard from Xiuli that you stayed in the hospital for several days. Are you all checked out?"
Chu Yue said, "Sisters-in-law, thank you for your concern. Yuanbao and I are fine. The fire didn't burn us. As for the money, it's really unnecessary. Although there are some financial losses, it's not much. I can handle it."
The part about Fu Yanchen's compensation involved too complicated relationships, and Chu Yue didn't want to get involved, so she didn't mention it at all.
She then said, "The new store is about to open, you must go then."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"New...new store?"
Chu Yue said, "Yes, it's still the same location, just opposite."
"Opposite...towards?" The sisters-in-law opened their mouths wider in shock. "Opposite...that's not...what..."
As soon as someone mentioned the word "what", another person at the side pulled her and told her not to say it in front of Chu Yue.
Rumors spread quickly. Lu Zhanlin and Tan Siqi both took leave, and when they came back, the military vehicle had an accident. All kinds of things added up and spread from the army to the compound, and from the compound to the army.
Because it involved Lu Zhanlin and He Meijiao's family background, everyone was cautious about discussing it in private and did not dare to bring it up in public.
Too many details cannot be made public.
Chu Yue pretended not to hear anything and continued to smile, "The original store was too small, so I rented a bigger one. Sisters-in-law, don't worry about me. This is a blessing in disguise for me."
Chen Fengying said, "You don't want this blessing after such a big disaster. I just hope you are fine. First, Captain Lu was injured, and then something happened in your family, and it almost burned you and Yuanbao..."
Wang Chunling interrupted, "Sister Chen, let's not talk about the past. Good times will come in the future."
Chen Fengying realized that she had lost her composure and immediately said a few words, "I am not good at talking! Ugh! Let's not talk about the past anymore. Sister Chu, you are such a good person. Good fortune must be waiting for you in the future."
As soon as the words fell, a groan was heard from the other side.
"Good news - Miss Chu - good news -"
A voice came out hurriedly from outside, and everyone turned to look, and saw that it was Song Hongmei.
