As guests, she and the old man could only listen awkwardly.
Finally, when Tao Wan told Lu Weimin to go back and rest, she quickly gave him a wink and told him to leave, and then it was finally quiet.
But it would be too hasty to dislike someone over such a small matter, and besides, they are also a pitiful person.
However, whether she was overthinking it or not, she said she envied her eldest son's wife for being able to sleep in late, as she herself had to get up early at home because the whole family depended on her for food and drink.
It sounds like they're implying that the eldest son's wife is lazy.
Tao Wan's eyes lit up. She felt it was a pity that Lu Chen wasn't home when she came yesterday, as she had missed an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, fate smiled upon her, and the person was sent back the very next day.
Suppressing the urge to smile, she pondered how to make a good impression on Lu Chen later.
Just as the eggs were about to be cooked, Tao Wan began to ladle out the soup. With her sharp eyes, she noticed that the closed door to the room had opened.
"Auntie, let me take the soup to the main hall first."
"Oh, thank you for your trouble."
Tao Wan didn't bother with formalities and quickened her pace.
Tian Hongfang was puzzled. Was the bowl hot? Why are you walking so fast? You might fall.
Just as I finished thinking, I heard Tao Wan's voice from outside, along with the sound of a bowl breaking.
Tian Hongfang hurried out and saw the second son standing there with a sullen face, his whole body exuding irritability.
Then look at Tao Wan, who is trembling on the side, as if she has been bullied.
Broken porcelain shards were scattered on the ground, and soup was spilled all over the floor.
"What's wrong?"
Tian Hongfang didn't care about the second child; Tao Wan was a guest, so she went to check on her condition first.
The other three also came out, while Lu Yun had already gone to school.
Lu Chen closed his eyes, wanting only to sleep peacefully. He had been disturbed time and time again, both times by shouts, and once by a woman he didn't recognize. His head was throbbing and he was extremely irritable.
Tao Wan shrank her neck and lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, looking frightened and not daring to look up.
Tian Hongfang was puzzled. What was going on?
"I had just come out when she bumped into me, glanced at me and that's how it happened."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he walked past them to the kitchen to fetch water to wash his face.
Tian Hongfang understood perfectly well what she was hearing; she was simply frightened by her son.
Although her son does look quite intimidating at first glance, it shouldn't be enough to scare her like this.
She was a little displeased, but she forced a smile and said, "Xiao Wan, don't be afraid, the second brother isn't a bad person."
Tao Qingtang also stepped in to smooth things over: "Xiao Wan, did you change beds and not sleep well? Come back and rest for a while later."
She's been very sleepy lately and sleeps so soundly that she doesn't even know when her cousin gets up.
Judging from her appearance, she's probably already up and doing quite a bit of work.
Tao Wan naturally noticed that Tian Hongfang's tone was off, but it was beyond her control.
In her plan, she would pretend not to notice him and bump into him, gaze at him tenderly and silently, fall in love at first sight, and their feelings would become mutual.
But things didn't go as planned. She thought Lu Chen would look similar to Lu Ze, but he turned out to be quite different.
She was startled when she looked up. Because he hadn't slept well, Lu Chen's eyes were red, his eyes were dark, his face was covered in a beard, and there was a scar on his brow bone. With just one glance, she felt that she had encountered a wild beast, the most ferocious kind.
Now that things have gone wrong, she won't contact Lu Chen again; she's afraid.
She actually preferred Lu Ze, but because her cousin was around, she shifted her focus.
But now it seems that Lu Ze is still better.
For the first time, the family ate in such quiet silence at the dinner table, while Lu Chen devoured the food.
He left with the words, "I'm going to sleep," and went back to his room.
He didn't give Tao Wan a single glance the entire time.
This made her feel a little uncomfortable. She hadn't even looked down on him, yet he seemed to dislike her.
Just wait, once she and Lu Ze have their happy ending, this family will be completely under her control.
The Lu family was unusually quiet all day. No one bothered Lu Chen, letting him sleep all day without calling him for lunch.
I was eventually woken up by my own hunger.
I sat up, twisted my neck, and only stopped when I heard a cracking sound from my bones and felt a pleasant soreness.
I quickly got out of bed, took out a razor blade, and started shaving.
Soon, a clean face and chin appeared. It was a bit strange to suddenly shave off a beard that hadn't been shaved for a long time; it even felt a little cool.
He carried a cloth bag with him as he went out.
"Hey, you're just in time. I had your older brother get some big bones to make soup. Take some to Ye girl; she sprained her ankle yesterday, and you should eat what you need to recover."
Tao Wan stood to the side, her eyes filled with jealousy and greed.
Lu Chen asked in surprise, "You twisted your ankle?"
I can't help but think back to yesterday. The little girl was quite nice yesterday. Could it be that I was just too busy... to notice?
Lu Chen inwardly berated himself, feeling somewhat anxious.
"Give it to me, I'll go deliver it now."
Seeing the sealed earthenware jar on the table, he picked it up and left.
Tian Hongfang chased after her, saying, "Eat first before you go, you haven't eaten all day."
Lu Chen waved his hand: "Eat it when you get back. If it's any later, she'll have eaten dinner and won't be able to drink this soup."
Tian Hongfang was taken aback. "That's true. Let him be."
Tao Wan recalled Lu Chen's face from earlier, which was completely different from the one she saw that morning.
She gritted her teeth, feeling that Lu Chen was doing it on purpose. After she made up her mind, he struck her down, and after she made up her mind again, he came to hang around in front of her again.
No, she couldn't hesitate any longer; it had to be Lu Ze.
......
Educated youth settlement.
Because of a sprained ankle, Ye Zhiyu was left to rest.
She had been playing with that blade of grass all day.
No one talked to her, and she didn't want to go out into the cold wind.
Sigh, I miss my phone more and more.
Looking at the sky, I should be back from the last trip soon.
Lu Chen arrived earlier than the educated youth, and Ye Zhiyu saw through the window what he was holding in his hands.
She sat there waiting for him to come in.
Lu Chen stopped at the door and nodded to the blade of grass.
Ye Zhiyu chuckled: "What are you doing? You're not saying hello to it, are you?"
"Yes, it did come back to life because of your influence."
Lu Chen placed the earthenware pot on the table, squatted down, and lifted Ye Zhiyu's legs, placing them on his knees.
"do what?"
Ye Zhiyu's gaze shifted from the earthenware pot back to him.
"Mom said you sprained your ankle. I didn't even notice yesterday. Did you bump it? Does it hurt?" He was already making a move to take off his shoes.
Ye Zhiyu pressed his hand down, hooking his fingers around him and bringing him closer.
"I was faking it. I did something bad yesterday."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, listening attentively.
Ye Zhiyu recounted the whole story, paying close attention to everyone's expressions.
She chuckled, then suddenly stopped and grabbed Lu Chen's clothes. "I just didn't expect to run into you on the road. I knew that if you found out, Auntie would find out too."
Lu Chen patted her head: "It's good that you're alright. When Mom heard you sprained your ankle, she asked my older brother to get some bones and make soup."
Ye Zhiyu felt guilty, "I'm so sorry, Auntie, for causing her so much trouble."
