Uncle Zhou glanced at Shen Wu, smiling with a kind face, "The third brother is not so careful."
The third son married a good wife who is good at socializing.
Many men and women in the village thought that if she didn't work, she would end up in a miserable state. In his opinion, this was not necessarily the case. Sometimes, people who only knew how to work hard were not necessarily better than those who spoke and acted well. This was the conclusion he had drawn from the many losses he had suffered in his life.
But everyone has their own personality, and that's just his personality. At his age, there's no need to change it. If necessary, the child at home can play with her more.
Old man Zhou lowered his head to eat the steamed bun. It had been years since he had eaten this big white steamed bun. It was more fragrant than the yellow flour steamed bun.
Chen Wu didn't know what the old man was thinking. She gave him the steamed bun and waited for the others to come back. Fortunately, few people would eat out at this time, and even if they were out for a long time, they would not think of buying things. They would just bring some steamed buns from home and drink some cold water. Everyone came back around ten o'clock.
When Uncle Zhou was driving his donkey cart, he passed by the intersection leading to the county town. There were a few gangsters looking around there, but they didn't seem to be taking it very seriously.
A sturdy man was sitting under a nearby tree, staggering on his butt.
The blind man said, "Brother, I think we can't find anyone!"
Hearing this, the man immediately threw a clod of dirt at him, "Fuck you, look for it! I can't find it... I'm... Ouch!"
One of his postures was wrong and he pressed down on the other side of his buttock, causing him to break out in a cold sweat due to the pain.
"Is it all for nothing that I got shot in the ass?" The boss was already crying out in pain when he said this. "What a shame, what a shame!"
The younger brothers tried to hold back their laughter.
The blind man who was hit by the dirt looked painful, grimacing and trying to explain, "Brother, that's not what I meant. I meant that those people must be afraid of you and have not dared to enter the city for a while."
"Besides, it was dark that day, so it would be difficult to find it. The brothers are all here, and it would be a waste of time. The police have been here several times today."
As he was talking, the blind man saw Chen Wu sitting on the donkey cart from afar. Her bright face and skin were whiter than a peeled egg.
Suddenly, I felt like a feather was scratching my heart, it was itchy, and I swallowed.
Lu Sulan.
Sulan.
Lanlan.
She is good-looking and has a nice name.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, the blind brother turned around, thinking that Su Lan smiled at him and that she also had him in her heart. He couldn't waste time here. "Brother, think about it, what if we can't find the person and the Public Security Bureau is targeting us? Wouldn't we lose both the wife and the army?"
Everyone here was basking in the sun like frost-bitten eggplants, and they felt that what the blind man said made some sense.

When Shen Wu and Xu Yin returned home, Mrs. Lu first checked whether there was enough meat.
"Quite a few." Old Lady Lu glanced at Shen Wu and Xu Yin. Seeing that they seemed to have had an argument, their faces were cold and indifferent, she asked curiously, "What happened to you two?"
Xu Yin had eaten her fill and was now willing to talk to Old Lady Lu. "She's going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a hairband with the money you gave her."
"I stopped him."
Old Lady Lu glanced at Chen Wu, then at Xu Yin, and thought to herself that she was right to let them go. The two of them didn't have a good relationship, but that was actually quite good for her. She had originally wanted to bring the two wives together to have a better relationship, but now that she thought about it, she could only control them if their relationship wasn't good.
This was the countermeasure discussed by Shen Wu and Xu Yin. The two of them didn't have a good relationship, so Mrs. Lu would definitely want to find someone to follow them when they were doing things.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu was actually thinking about how to balance the power.
Unfortunately, she is still more skilled.
"Your second brother hasn't come back yet. This meat is for dinner. Go and cook." This time, Old Mrs. Lu didn't mediate between the two of them.
Both of them were full, so at noon they picked some beans, fried them with some lard, and then added noodles.
She also said it nicely, "Everyone just eat a meal together. Mom said that Uncle Er will be back in the evening for a big dinner. We bought some meat!"
When they heard that there would be meat to eat, everyone was happy and looked forward to the dinner. Besides, the noodles and beans were not bad at the farm, and the ones made by Chen Wu tasted pretty good.
The happiest person was Lu Paner, "Mom, Dad is coming back, and there's meat!"
Wang Hua's serious face also smiled. She looked at her child with soft eyes and rubbed her head. "Yes, your father is coming back."
After dinner, brothers Lu Xuan and Lu Ye went to the back mountain.
Li Ping went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Wang Hua was sweeping the floor with a broom, while Chen Wu went to get some water to wipe the dust off her face and hands.
Listening to Old Lady Lu muttering to Wang Hua, "It's not easy for the second son to come back once. You should seize this opportunity and quickly give our Lu family a grandson."
"Did you hear that?"
Wang Hua often went to the fields and was not as tightly covered as Shen Wu. Her skin color was slightly darker, and after hearing what Old Lady Lu said, her face turned red.
"I know, mother, but as for the child, it all depends on fate. I think it's good to have Pan'er." Wang Hua said in a low voice.
Old Lady Lu curled her lips in disdain, "What's so good about a little girl? It's more proper to give birth to a son as soon as possible."
"Could it be that everyone is like your family, with no descendants..."
“Crash!”
"Hey, third daughter-in-law, what are you doing!"
Chen Wu smiled awkwardly, "Mom, I was so engrossed in your conversation that I accidentally spilled the water."
As she spoke, Shen Wu went to pat her water, "Mom, don't mind. Don't worry, I will give Third Brother a son, a big fat boy."
"Just wait and hold your first grandson. Eighteen treasures in one litter!"
Old Mrs. Lu listened to her nonsense and felt pain on her body from being hit by her.
"Stop hitting me! I'm going to change my clothes."
How come she looks so delicate and weak, but is so strong?
Chen Wu didn't want to hit her either. The old lady's clothes were quite dirty. Upon hearing this, she quickly let go and fetched water to wash her hands again.
Wang Hua looked at Chen Wu.
Shen Wu felt her gaze and smiled at her.
Wang Hua knew that her third sister-in-law had just helped her out. "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Chen Wu shrugged. After she finished washing up, Lu Xuan also came back with a bag in his hand.
Shen Wu looked over and asked, "What are you holding?"
She walked over and weighed it in her hand. It was light and fluffy. When she opened it, she found it was snow-white cotton. It was very soft to the touch, as if she was immersed in clouds.
"Why are you buying cotton all of a sudden?"
Lu Xuan lowered his voice, "Aren't you uncomfortable with it?"
"I can make this into a small quilt and put it under my body. Then I won't feel uncomfortable."
Chen Wu looked at the man's unnatural expression and knew that he had no good intentions in his mind. "What are you thinking about?"
Thinking of something that cannot be mentioned, Lu Xuan coughed and said, "Nothing, I'll go back to the house first."
As she spoke, she went back with the cotton in her hand. Shen Wu had washed her face, nodded at Wang Hua, and quickly followed Lu Xuan. As soon as she entered the room, she locked the door first.
Now it was Lu Xuan's turn to stare at her——
