Chapter 97 Diagnosing Waterloo



After picking the water spinach, she said, "Cousin, I'm going to wash the vegetables." She took the bowl of water spinach and went inside.

Upon seeing this, Lu He was amazed. So the reason he was able to attend that high school was because this sister-in-law was his cousin.

"Sister-in-law, I'll be going now," Lu He said quickly.

"Go ahead, come over to my place sometime." Ye Hualan smiled and watched Lu He leave before turning back to the kitchen.

Looking at the indifferent Chu Lin, he said helplessly, "Look at you, you've been here for several days and you still don't know any manners. The army is about to recruit soldiers. If you join the army, don't have this indifferent expression."

"Okay, cousin," Chu Lin replied to Ye Hualan while washing the vegetables.

Seeing Chu Lin's expression, Ye Hualan went to wash the spatula used for stir-frying.

“These days, many people get hurt. I know you feel wronged, but your path to learning has been forced to stop. You need to survive. Joining the army is a bit dangerous! When you go to your brother-in-law's regiment, you can be a driver or an assistant. You'll earn twenty or thirty yuan a month, and you won't be bullied. Do you understand?”

Ye Hualan wasn't complaining, but she still felt that life was unfair.

When his aunt married into the Chu family, she was looked down upon. In the end, she was burdened with a bad reputation because of the Chu family. Now that his aunt and uncle have passed away, Chu Lin still has to take care of the two elderly people in the family. Chu Lin's brothers and sisters are scattered in various places and can hardly take care of themselves.

Ye Hualan saw that Chu Lin remained silent.

I glanced back and felt quite helpless.

I wonder who he got his temper from.

"There's still half a month until conscription. The factory is short of a porter. It's two yuan a day. You'll come with me to the factory tomorrow and work for half a month. Consider it a good way to build up your physical strength, understand?"

"Okay, cousin," Chu Lin replied.

Ye Hualan didn't say anything more after that.

Lu He took the dumplings to Liu Xinlan's house and saw that the gate to the yard and the living room were open.

Lu He figured Liu Xinlan was probably still sleeping, so he put the dumplings and vegetables in the kitchen, put some water in a big pot, put something to separate them, and then put the dumplings on top and light a fire to keep them warm.

After it was all over, Lu He planned to leave a note. She went into the living room to find a small notebook to write it down...

Before even entering the living room, I could hear whimpering sounds.

There was also the voice of Brother Xu Qianli. At first, Lu He couldn't recognize the voice, so she carefully poked her little head in.

"Wife! Call me brother!"

"Xu Qianli, you bastard, in broad daylight..."

"I miss you so much, honey. Do you miss me too?"

Lu He blushed, covering her mouth in surprise. What a sin!

As she turned to leave, she turned back and carefully closed the door.

After coming out, close the gate to the yard.

Afraid of being discovered, Lu He ran away as fast as she could.

Brother Xu Qianli is so unrestrained, doing that kind of thing in broad daylight!

When Lu He ran home, he passed by Ye Hualan's house.

After Chu Lin finished washing the vegetables and swept up the roots, he saw Lu He running very fast and was also puzzled.

When Lu He got home, she was panting and poured herself a glass of water, which she drank in large gulps.

"Has your sister-in-law Xinlan woken up yet?" Shen Qiaoyue brought in the dumplings, not noticing Lu He's flushed face. She looked up at the clock; it was twelve o'clock.

Lu He said shyly, "He's not awake yet. I left the dumplings warm in the kitchen."

"Okay, wash your hands and eat. Your brother will be back soon." Shen Qiaoyue put down the bowl and chopsticks and told Lu He to go to the bathroom.

"Okay." Lu He turned and went to the restroom.

I sat down not long after returning.

"I'm back." Lu Chen said as soon as he entered the yard after getting off work.

"Wash your hands and eat." After Shen Qiaoyue served three bowls of rice and sat down, Lu Chen also came in after washing his hands in the kitchen.

"What a feast today!" Lu Chen looked at the food, which looked delicious, with rice and dumplings, meat and vegetables.

“That’s right, my sister-in-law’s cooking skills are much better than my brother’s!” Lu He said first, mocking Lu Chen.

"How can you talk like that? You ate it even though it wasn't good." His wife can say his cooking wasn't good, his sister can say his cooking wasn't good, but no one can say that.

Lu He's lips twitched, she didn't say anything, but gave Lu Chen a look that he could slowly understand.

"Alright!" Shen Qiaoyue said, both amused and exasperated, "Hurry up and sit down to eat."

Lu Chen then stopped arguing with Lu He.

When we sat down to eat, the first thing we ate was dumplings.

Lu Chen hadn't had such delicious dumplings in a long time. He took Shen Qiaoyue's hand and placed it on his lap, saying, "Wife, they're really delicious."

"I know you like to eat dumplings, so I packed a lot extra for you. You can have dumplings tonight too. When you go to work later, you can take some to the army base and give them to them."

In her excitement, Shen Qiaoyue kneaded too much dough.

"I won't give any to those brats. I can eat it all by myself. These are dumplings my wife made for me," Lu Chen said stingily.

Lu He rolled her eyes and complained, "Brother, you're so stingy."

“What do you mean by stingy? This is your sister-in-law’s love for me. You can eat such delicious food because you’re my sister. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let you eat it.”

Lu Chen was seriously competing with Lu He.

"That's why you're stingy. Your sister-in-law wouldn't be as stingy as you."

The two siblings can start arguing even after they've finished eating.

It's like two little kids arguing.

To be honest, Lu Chen has a really big appetite. He ate more than half of a big plate of dumplings by himself, and also ate a whole bowl of rice.

After dinner, Lu Chen went to wash the dishes, while Shen Qiaoyue sat on the sofa reading parenting books.

"Sister-in-law, shall I take your pulse?" Lu He sat down in the room, holding a medical book, eager to try and see if she could diagnose the problem according to the book.

Shen Qiaoyue handed her hand to Lu He, knowing that she wanted to give it a try.

Lu He placed her fingers on the pulse and listened carefully to the pulse, then looked down at what was written in the book.

“It’s exactly the same as what’s in the book. The only difference is that yours is like…” Lu He couldn’t quite put her finger on it. While she was flipping through the book, Lu Chen came out after finishing his work.

He glanced at Lu He and said, "You're just not skilled enough. Go back and read more books."

"Mind your own business!"

"Hey... This is outrageous!" Lu Chen exclaimed, hearing Lu He's tone, "They dare to challenge me!"

Lu He kept flipping through the pages, muttering to herself, "Hey! I remember it was on this page..."

Shen Qiaoyue looked up at Lu Chen. He wanted to continue kicking him while he was down, but he didn't say it. After his wife said that, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Lu He realized the book wasn't there, so she got up and went back to her room to look for it.

"That shouldn't be the case, it should be this book!" Lu He felt that Shen Qiaoyue's pulse was too active. He remembered reading about it in the book before, but he couldn't recall it.

Shen Qiaoyue stared blankly at Lu He, then took the medical book back to her room, smiling helplessly again and again.
