Chapter 140 Song Lan: Could they be acquaintances?



After washing the dishes, Qin Boyan came in from outside. He and Song Lan chatted with Qin Shuhan for about twenty minutes. When they heard Song Qinghui and Fu Wenhan's voices outside, Song Lan pointed to the two jars of minced meat on the table and said to Qin Shuhan, "Dad, don't be reluctant to eat the minced meat in those jars with Uncle Fu."

The minced meat sauce was made at home by Song Lan. She not only brought two cans of meat sauce for Qin's father, but also prepared two cans for Xiao Yu's family. However, Song Lan kept those two cans of meat sauce in her space, namely "Divine Doctor Valley".

Also stored there were grains such as rice, wheat flour, and millet.

Because of the difference in time between the outside world and the outside world, the fruits, vegetables and crops in the "Divine Doctor Valley" mature very quickly. Therefore, Song Lan often went into the "Divine Doctor Valley" to work while her family was asleep at night.

In other words, the rice, flour, and millet brought to Qin Shuhan, as well as the grain prepared for Xiao Yu's family, all came from "Divine Doctor Valley" and were processed by Song Lan herself.

"Since you brought it all, instead of letting it spoil, your dad and your Uncle Fu will definitely finish it as soon as possible."

Qin Shuhan said with a smile.

"What should be digested as soon as possible?"

Stepping into the house, Fu Wenhan asked casually with a smile.

“Lanlan brought quite a lot of things this time, including two cans filled with minced meat,” Qin Shuhan said, pointing to the two cans full of minced meat on the table. “She was worried we wouldn’t be able to bear eating them, so she was reminding me to make sure the minced meat doesn’t spoil.”

Fu Wenhan shifted his gaze to Song Lan: "You're so thoughtful!"

Song Lan smiled and said, "The work you and my dad do here is very strenuous, but your living conditions look very difficult. As a junior, all I can do is try my best to improve your lives in every way."

If you have to do physical labor every day, where will you get the strength if you eat bland, oily food every meal?

If you don't have enough strength, you might have an accident while working.

"Old Qin, Lanlan is such a thoughtful girl. It's not only a blessing for your eldest son to marry such a wonderful young lady, but also a blessing for your whole family!"

Fu Wenhan sighed to Qin Shuhan.

"Do you even need to tell me that?!"

After giving them a cursory glance, Qin Shuhan asked Song Lan, "Are you leaving?"

"Um."

Song Lan stood up: "After we go down the mountain, we'll stay with my parents for a while, and then my second brother and I will have to go back to the factory."

"Come on, Dad will see you off."

Qin Shuhan stood up as well. Seeing this, Song Lan shook her head: "Dad, you and Uncle Fu should lie down and rest for a while. You still have to go to work this afternoon. The three of us are young and can walk fast. It won't take long to get to the foot of the mountain."

"Dad, just listen to my sister-in-law and lie down and rest for a while so you'll have the energy to go to work this afternoon." Qin Boyan pressed his father back to sit on the edge of the bed, and then he looked at Song Lan and Song Qinghui: "Sister-in-law, Second Brother Song, let's go." Of course, he didn't forget to greet Fu Wenhan.

"Uncle Fu, let's go!"

After saying goodbye to Fu Wenhan, Song Lan waved to Qin's father and said, "Dad, goodbye!"

Goodbye Uncle Qin! Goodbye Uncle Fu!

Song Qinghui also waved goodbye to Qin Shuhan and the other person.

The two empty cloth bags were stuffed by Song Lan into an equally empty gray canvas travel bag, which Qin Boyan would carry. Song Lan herself carried a military green canvas travel bag containing the traditional Chinese medicine for Song Sanhe and his wife, as well as a medicine packet for Song Qinghui to strengthen his muscles and bones.

The descent takes less time than the ascent.

Back at their home in Shisong Village, Song Lan and Song Sanhe chatted for a while before suggesting they go visit the Xiao family.

She went alone so that she could easily retrieve the items for Xiao Yu's family from her spatial storage in a secluded place.

When Song Lan was only 40 or 50 meters away from the Xiao family's residence, she inadvertently saw two figures standing face to face about 30 meters to her left.

Although the view was somewhat obstructed by the trees in the woods, Song Lan could easily recognize which of the two figures belonged to whom.

The shorter one is Chen Dongze, and the other is Xiao Yu.

Song Lan saw their profiles. She frowned slightly and wondered: Could they be acquaintances?

If not, why does Chen Dongze appear to be apologizing, while Xiao Yu's expression is noticeably cold and even indifferent?

Fortunately, Song Lan has keen senses, so she can easily hear anything she wants to hear.

What exactly do you want?

"I just want to apologize to you on behalf of Xiaoshu."

"I told you I didn't need it, and I told you not to come looking for me again."

"You... Brother Yu, I know Xiao Shu is sorry to you and Chen Chen, but what's done is done. Even if you're angry that Xiao Shu divorced you without considering the child, can you please not take it out on me?"

"I can't accept you calling me 'Brother Yu' like that. I'm saying this for the last time: don't look for me anymore. My family and your family have no connection anymore. If we happen to meet again in the future, let's just treat each other as strangers."

Xiao Yu's eyes were indifferent as he stared at Chen Dongze, his tone as detached as his gaze.

"Treat each other as strangers?"

Chen Dongze's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief: "No matter what, you can't deny that Chenchen was born to Xiaoshu, and you can't deny that I am Chenchen's uncle. With this relationship, how can you and I be strangers?"

Besides... it's not that Xiaoshu wanted to divorce you. She's just too weak to live in such a difficult rural area, so she had no choice but to file for divorce.

As for Chenchen not being able to stay with Xiaoshu, you know that it wasn't that Xiaoshu didn't want her child; it was that you wouldn't allow Chenchen to be taken away.

With a sigh, Chen Dongze continued, "Brother Yu, I hope you won't refuse my help. You should know that given my family's situation, even if I were to go to the countryside, I could easily choose a better place, but I didn't. It's simply because I wanted to be able to take care of you, Chenchen, and Grandpa Xiao while I'm there..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yu interrupted him: "No need! My family doesn't need your help. If you keep coming to me in the future, don't blame me for using force against you!"

Although he was a civil official, he also knew some basic martial arts. If this person ignores what he said today, he will definitely make the other person know what regret is when they meet again!

Do you really have to do this?

Chen Dongze couldn't understand why Xiao Yu was so stubborn.

Yes, his sister Chen Shu was indeed wrong. She was wrong to insist on divorcing the man in front of her when the Xiao family was in its most difficult time, disregarding her newborn child.

But as her older brother, he understood his sister's behavior. After all, she was delicate and frail and had never suffered much hardship since childhood. In fact, she had been pampered like a little princess by her family. It would be very difficult for her to leave the capital with the Xiao family and come to the countryside to suffer.
