Chapter 463 Made up my mind
The three of them knew who this person was; it was Dong Mingliang’s step-grandmother.
Dong Mingliang's step-grandmother was called Zhang Cuifen. She had just heard people say that there was a car parked in front of Dong Fulai's house, and that it might be their family coming to visit, so Zhang Cuifen came to take a look out of curiosity.
She looked at Dong Ronghua and asked quickly, "Who are these?"
Dong Ronghua didn't know whether she should say it or not, and looked at Lin Xiaoxia and the others.
Lin Xiaoxia said to Zhang Cuifen, "We are Dong Mingliang's friends."
Zhang Cuifen looked at Lin Xiaoxia in disbelief: "Are you Dong Mingliang's friends? You came here in a car?"
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Don't you allow people to drive here in your village?" She didn't need to be nice to the old lady.
Zhang Cuifen also heard that Lin Xiaoxia's tone was not good, but she looked at the car with envy. She heard that Dong Mingliang went to the city to work and earn money, but she didn't know that he had made friends like this. Now Zhang Cuifen was thinking about getting to know some fashionable and rich girls, and maybe her family would benefit from it in the future.
She forced a smile and looked at Lin Xiaoxia and said, "Look at you, girl, you're so angry. I'm Dong Mingliang's grandmother, you can just call me Grandma Zhang."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "I heard that you are not Dong Mingliang's biological grandmother. It seems that we have no relationship with you."
To be honest, she was not really afraid of offending the old lady, because if she didn't confront the old lady, the old lady would not be nicer to Dong Mingliang's family. If she confronted her, she might even feel a little afraid.
Zhang Cuifen was a little flustered by Lin Xiaoxia's aura, but she still wanted to cling to the rich, so she said, "Although I'm not Mingliang's biological grandmother, we're still family. What are you doing here? Have you eaten? If not, come to our house for a bite to eat."
Lin Xiaoxia simply refused, "No need."
Ju Huiyan held Dong Ronghua's hand and could clearly feel her trembling, which made her even angrier. She turned to Zhang Cuifen and said, "How could you have the heart to hurt Xiaohua? She's such a young child!"
Zhang Cuifen completely denied it and said, "You misunderstood. This child is so naughty. It's not normal for an elder to discipline him."
At this time, Dong Fulai came out of the East Courtyard and saw Zhang Cuifen talking to Lin Xiaoxia and the others. He was so scared that he ran over and said to Zhang Cuifen, "Mom, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Cuifen looked at Dong Fulai and pretended to be kind and said, "Fulai, the guests who came to your house are not ordinary. They even drove here. I just said that you haven't eaten yet. Your house is small, why don't you come to my house for a meal?"
Dong Fulai also understood what his stepmother meant, so he quickly said, "No need. Xiaohua and I are going to the city to see Mingliang. We won't be home for dinner."
Zhang Cuifen had a lot of guesses in her mind: "What happened to Dong Mingliang? Why do I have to go see him?"
Looking at Zhang Cuifen's expression of watching a show, Lin Xiaoxia really felt sick. She said, "Dong Mingliang is fine, he's just busy with work. You don't have to worry about it." Then she looked at her watch and said to Dong Fulai, "Uncle Dong, it's getting late. Let's go."
Dong Fulai nodded: "Okay, okay, let's go now." Then he said to Zhang Cuifen: "Mom, we have to go."
Zhang Cuifen said anxiously, "Why are you leaving now? Come to my house and have a meal."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "I'm afraid the food in your house will make my teeth ache." After that, she opened the passenger door and said to Dong Fulai, "Uncle Dong, please sit in the front." It would be inconvenient for a man like him to sit in the back with several girls.
Dong Fulai got into the car carefully and nervously.
Fang Lan'e and Ju Huiyan sat in the back with Dong Ronghua.
Lin Xiaoxia got into the car and started the car without paying any attention to Zhang Cuifen.
Zhang Cuifen reacted at this time and asked Dong Fulai through the car window: "When will you be back?"
Dong Fulai now has someone backing him up, and suddenly he doesn't want to tell the truth to Zhang Cuifen. He also makes a decision at this time. If he can really go to the city, it doesn't matter if he is a little tired or suffers a little. He really wants to leave the village, leave forever.
He said to Zhang Cuifen, "I don't know either. Let's see what happens."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Zhang Cuifen and said, "You must have a kind heart, otherwise good things will not happen to you." After that, she drove away.
Dong Fulai sat in the passenger seat, looking forward, holding the seat tightly with both hands, as if afraid of flying out.
Lin Xiaoxia didn't drive fast. After a while, she asked Dong Fulai, "Uncle Dong, you don't get carsick, do you?"
Dong Fulai shook his head: "I'm not dizzy, it's just that I don't ride in cars often. This is my first time sitting in this position, and I'm a little scared looking at the front."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "I drive very steadily, don't worry."
After walking for a while, Dong Fulai suddenly said to Lin Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, if I work hard, will I be able to settle down in the city in the future?"
Because of the feeling he had just had when he left Zhang Cuifen, his heart suddenly felt so open, and he suddenly felt an urge and really wanted to leave.
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Of course you can. With Dong Mingliang, you can buy a house in three or four years. We were worried that you wouldn't want to go to the city, so we were hesitant. If you are willing to go to the city, and you work hard together and earn money, you can buy a house faster."
Dong Fulai said with great force: "Then uncle might cause trouble for you in the future."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. We're all willing to let you go."
Ju Huiyan was also happy and said, "That's great. I'll go back and clean up the empty room behind the clothing store, and you can live there first. I'll take care of Xiaohua's tuition. My classmate has an elementary school teacher who I have a good relationship with."
These are her future father-in-law and sister-in-law. Ju Huiyan is now afraid that she has no place to show herself.
Fang Lan'e smiled and said, "When the time comes, Huiyan will take care of everything you wear. Huiyan's clothes are made with exquisite craftsmanship."
Lin Xiaoxia said: "And Huiyan is very virtuous and cooks delicious food, so she might have done it."
Dong Fulai laughed so hard that he scratched his head. "You kids are really good. You speak sweetly and are sensible. Mingliang is so lucky to know you. I don't know what to say."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "That goes without saying. We've all been through a lot, so we'll tell you more later. Anyway, Dong Mingliang and I are close friends."
As we were talking, more than half an hour later, the car entered the city.
Dong Fulai's eyes were also fixed on the scenery outside. "This is my first time in the city. I've heard people say before that the buildings are like this and the roads are so wide. It's great."
Dong Ronghua was also looking outside and was extremely excited: "Zhang Taotao from our class went to the city once and talked to us about it for half a month. This time I am going to the city too."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at them and felt that people of this generation had a very strong sense of happiness. Because many people had never seen anything before, they felt satisfied with a little bit of novelty. It was not like decades later, when the Internet was developed and people knew everything in the world with just a mobile phone, it seemed that it was nothing special.
Ju Huiyan also introduced to them several representative places they passed by while looking around.
