Chapter 370: Something is wrong with Lu Donglin
Lu Dongping hadn't realized how dangerous Wen Wan's trip back to the compound to pick up the child would be. After all, Xu Qingming and Li Laiyu were accompanying her in broad daylight. Lu Chun'e had returned from vacation, and Dandan was coming over too, so they were finally having a little reunion.
After taking Lu Chun'e around the store, he told Lu Donglin that he would go back for dinner in the evening and went to buy some vegetables.
Wen Wan and Zhou Ping smelled the fragrance of food as soon as they arrived at the door.
"Is Dongping at home?"
Wen Wan nodded: "Well, Chun'e is back from vacation today." As she said that, she reached out and pushed open the half-open courtyard door.
Lu Dongping was cooking in the kitchen, while Lu Chun'e took advantage of the shade in the yard to wash clothes.
Seeing Wen Wan coming back, Lu Chun'e's eyes lit up and she stood up and said, "Sister-in-law."
Then he looked at Zhou Ping and greeted her, "Aunt Xu."
Zhou Ping had only met Lu Chun'e twice, but she still had an impression of her. The gentle sister-in-law was now engaged to the fifth son of the Zhou family.
"Oh, Chun'e, this girl is really getting better and better. I haven't seen her for a long time."
"No, no, it's still the same as before, just a little older." He invited Zhou Ping into the house.
Lu Dongping heard the voice coming out of the kitchen and called out, "Aunt! You are really a rare guest. It's not often that you come here." Zhou Ping is almost sixty years old, but she has not completely retired from her job. Even if she retired completely, she would not be idle. The Xu family has a lot of things to do, so it is impossible for her to come to Tonghua Lane specifically for nothing.
Zhou Ping smiled and said, "This is my first time here since Wanwan came to live here." She didn't rush into the house. She looked around the yard and couldn't help but say, "It's a nice place, but it's a little small. It'll be crowded when more people come."
Wen Wan took over the conversation: "Then Dongping and I will work hard and move to a bigger place in the future."
Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Well, you have a promising future. Let's live here first and move to a bigger place later."
"Aunt, please sit inside for a while!"
After inviting Zhou Ping into the house, Lu Chun'e went to pour water for Zhou Ping, and Wen Wan followed Lu Dongping into the kitchen.
Lu Dongping then asked her, "Didn't you pick up that brat?"
Wen Wan sighed: "No, I didn't make it to the compound at all. I was on the way with my seventh brother Lai Yu when I ran into Zhang Yun -"
Lu Dongping almost dropped the spoon in his hand.
"Are they still in the capital?"
"Yeah!" Wen Wan told him what happened. "Laiyu went to the hospital and couldn't go to the compound. My grandmother was worried, so my aunt came to the hospital to see Laiyu and asked the driver to bring her back."
"How is she?" Lu Dongping asked Li Lai Yu, but his eyes were fixed on Wen Wan.
Wen Wan said, "It's okay. I passed out after taking the drug. I was examined in the hospital and observed for a while before I was discharged." After that, she met Lu Dongping's gaze, smiled and said, "I'm fine. Seventh Brother and Lai Yu were here. I couldn't help, so I ran to the police station to report the crime." As she spoke, she reached out and hugged him, and found that he was tense all over.
"It's really okay. You don't know me well enough. I wouldn't do anything dangerous like that."
Lu Dongping took a long time to calm his pounding heart. He glanced at her and said, "You wouldn't do anything dangerous, but you just rushed out of the car?"
"Didn't you see that? Then my legs were a little faster than my brain for a moment. After I got off, my mind came back to me. Chasing the traffickers at that speed would only hinder them. It would be more practical to call the police, which would even make a difference."
Lu Dongping let out a long sigh, reached out and hugged her again: "Go ahead, it's rare for your aunt to come over, go and talk to her, we can talk about other things later."
Wen Wan didn't understand what he meant by "talk later" and asked him, "How many dishes are left?"
"Everything is ready. We can eat soon."
"What about Donglin?"
Lu Dongping said: "It's time for him to come back."
The dishes had just been placed on the table when Lu Donglin came back.
Zhou Ping hadn't originally planned to eat here, but since it was a rare visit and the meal was ready soon, how could Wen Wan let her leave like that?
After dinner, Lu Dongping and Lu Donglin were both going to night school and took her there.
Wen Wan followed him and went to Li Lai Yu's place.
Xu Guoliang and his father were really fast. In just a short while, they had moved the bed and other things over.
At this moment, Xu Guoliang had returned, and Xu Qingming was still there, showing off his skills in the kitchen.
Wang Mengfang was tidying up her temporary nest in the house, and Li Laiyu was helping her.
Wen Wan walked into the room and gave a worried look before she couldn't help but admire: "Okay, that's fine too."
The room was small to begin with, and there was a single bed against the wall, already made up. The head of the bed was against the wall, and on the other side was a table with a cabinet.
The desktop is not wide, but it is enough to temporarily put some things.
A gauze embroidered with green bamboo was hung on the window, and there was a wooden shelf in the corner. Li Lai Yu had nothing to do at the moment, so he picked some of the flowers that had bloomed in the yard. He also placed an eight-petal vase that he had found from somewhere on the not-so-high shelf, and was trimming the flowers one by one into it.
Wen Wan called out at the door: "Rain."
Li Laiyu turned around when he heard the voice: "Wanwan? Why are you here now?"
Wen Wan smiled, leaned against the door and called Wang Mengfang, then answered her: "I'll send my aunt off, and then I'll come to see you. Are you feeling unwell now?"
"No, it's okay, you guys, don't be too nervous." It's just a little drug.
Wang Mengfang asked Wen Wan, "Look, what do you think of the house Lai Yu built for me?"
Wenwan nodded approvingly: "Simple, generous, and comfortable. If you don't want to stay here later, aunt, I'll stay for a few days."
Wang Mengfang laughed: "You are so poor."
"I'm telling the truth. Well, I'd better not say it. If Seventh Brother hears it, he'll be envious and jealous."
Several people were laughing in the room.
The evening breeze blew gently, and the gauze that fell from the window fluttered in the wind.
Li Laiyu and the others were preparing to eat, Wen Wan greeted them and went to Ai Shang.
In the summer, we open early in the morning and close late in the afternoon, and several people take turns cooking.
When Wen Wan arrived at Ai Shang, Lu Chun'e was already there. She was with Lu Dongping. Chen Dongshuang was going to night school after dinner, so she came over to help watch the house for a while when she was free.
In the past, Lu Donglin would eat here and wait for Chen Dongshuang to go to school together after dinner. Today, Lu Donglin left, but Chen Dongshuang was still here.
Wen Wan had just reached the door when Huang Qiuju ran out of the store with red eyes. When she saw her, she called out "Boss Lady" and then ran away.
Wen Wan glanced at her back in confusion and walked into the store.
Lu Chun'e was sitting in the store with a rare tense look on her face.
Chen Dongshuang was holding the bag, her eyes also red.
"What's going on? Dong Shuang, why haven't you gone to class yet? It's already this late?"
Chen Dongshuang didn't say anything, so Lu Chun'e spoke for her: "Two little girls were arguing. One ran away, and the other said she couldn't go out of spite."
Wen Wan looked at her: "Then what's going on with you? You're trying to stop a fight and now you're unhappy."
Lu Chun'e sighed and glanced at Chen Dongshuang, then said to Wen Wan, "I'll tell you later."
Wen Wan nodded, sat down in front of Chen Dongshuang and looked at her: "People get along with each other based on fate. Not everyone can get along. If you get along, then get along well. If not, that doesn't matter. You don't see each other during the day, and you don't live together at night. Even if you don't talk, it won't have any impact. Each of you does your own thing, each gets your own salary, and no one can influence anyone else. You live your own life, and no one can replace you. Are you sure you want to stop studying because of a quarrel with her?"
Chen Dongshuang sniffed and whispered, "Yes, I'm sorry!"
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Why are you apologizing to me? Okay, I won't go today. Does Lu Donglin know?"
"Know!"
They had an argument before Lu Donglin came, so she didn't go to night school with him.
As soon as Lu Donglin arrived, Huang Qiuju stopped arguing with her. She didn't feel comfortable saying anything harsh to him, so she just said she would not go today.
"Well, that's good to know. He should be able to ask for leave for you. Now, go wash your face and get some sleep. Tomorrow there will be nothing to do. It's time to work and do your work."
Chen Dongshuang hummed with a heavy nasal tone, then stood up and went to the backyard.
Wen Wan finally suppressed the smile on her face and sighed heavily, "There are only three of them, and they can still cause trouble."
Lu Chun'e said, "That's all we can do now. It's normal for people to not get along!" She frowned, "But that Huang Qiuju is really hard to like. Didn't they say they wanted a junior high school diploma when they recruited her? She should be educated, so how could she speak so harshly?"
Wen Wan looked at her puzzledly: "What did you say?"
No matter what she said, Lu Chun'e couldn't repeat those words to her. They were too harsh.
She didn't answer but asked, "What's going on between Chen Dongshuang and Lu Donglin?"
"What's going on?" Wen Wan looked at her in confusion.
Lu Chun'e glanced at the backyard, pulled Wen Wan outside, and whispered to her, "It seems to me that they have a good relationship."
"Isn't it normal that they have a good relationship? You know Donglin's personality. He gets along well with everyone. If they don't get along well, then there must be something wrong with the other person."
"Besides, Chen Dongshuang is a pretty good girl too. She's good-natured, opinionated, goal-oriented, smart, and motivated. When Lu Donglin first started attending night school, he was a bit of a slacker. If Chen Dongshuang hadn't also been attending night school and was afraid of being outdone by the other girls, do you think he'd be so self-aware?"
Yeah?
Lu Chun'e glanced back in confusion, then thought about Huang Qiuju's scolding. After a moment's thought, she briefly mentioned it to Wen Wan: "That afternoon, when I walked in, she was scolding me pretty harshly, saying Chen Dongshuang had some feelings for Lu Donglin, saying she wanted to hook up with him." If Lu Donglin hadn't been mentioned, she wouldn't have been so angry, and she wouldn't have scolded Huang Qiuju. If she hadn't said anything, Huang Qiuju would have argued with all her might, each word more harsh than the last, and she wouldn't have left with red eyes.
