Lu Chen pursed her lips, not expecting her mother to know. After a moment's thought, she realized that her younger sister had told her.
He nodded silently.
Tian Hongfang slapped Lu Chen hard and said fiercely, "Are you interested in someone? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. Who is that Ye Zhiqing? She looks like she's been spoiled. Look at her clothes and appearance, do you think our family can afford to be her match?"
After a long pause, Lu Chen finally said, "I didn't."
"You don't have any? Do you think I believe you? If you don't have any, why are you rushing off to help people with their work? When you see a woman, you'd stay as far away as possible."
“You don’t have any. You’re my son. I know exactly what kind of shit you poop every time you stick your butt out.”
Lu Chen's face darkened: "Mother~~~~"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. I was just in a hurry. That's what I meant."
Before leaving, she said one more thing: "Second son, take what your mother said to heart. Stay away from them in the future. We can't hold them back."
Lu Chen nodded with a sullen face, saw Tian Hongfang out, and closed the door behind him.
As soon as Tian Hongfang came out, she remembered something else and said, "By the way, you can't let unrequited love turn into hatred and cause you to do something outrageous."
"Mother~ what kind of person do you take me for?" Lu Chen sighed, rubbing his forehead.
Tian Hongfang muttered: What kind of person is he? Men, there isn't a single good man.
...After closing the door, Lu Chen lay down on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
I didn't feel anything when I rescued her on the mountain that day.
But when she opened her eyes again, even though she was disheveled, she was still the most conspicuous one in the crowd.
Is Ye Zhiyu beautiful? Yes.
But he approached her not just because of her beauty, but because seeing her brought him physical and mental satisfaction and joy. A voice kept echoing in his mind, "It's her, you've been waiting for her."
The closer he got, the deeper he fell. When he hugged her today, he felt completely fulfilled and didn't want to let go. He had to restrain himself to let go, otherwise, who knows what he might have done.
But there's no denying that what his mother said was right, just as he had thought before.
She was born to live in a clean and beautiful house, dressed smartly, and pampered by everyone.
Instead of following that peasant.
Lu Chen raised his hand upwards, clenched his fist for a moment, and then lowered it.
......
Ye Zhiyu was unaware that someone was heartbroken and upset because of her, and was busy arguing with others.
Ye Zhiyu slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Li Xi, what do you mean? Why aren't you cooking for me?"
Li Xi trembled and said fearfully, "Zhi, Ye Zhiqing, you didn't eat lunch today. I thought you wouldn't eat dinner either, so I didn't cook."
In fact, she did it on purpose. Having obtained Fu Tingshen's forgiveness, she couldn't wait to find something to do.
She turned her head and looked at Fu Tingshen pitifully.
Fu Tingshen gave her a reassuring look and said, "Ye Zhiqing, Xiaoxi didn't do it on purpose. Besides, you have your own food. Eat something to fill your stomach. The food won't be lost if you leave it there."
Ye Zhiyu sneered: "Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language? She did something wrong and expects others to bear the consequences. Just because I have food doesn't mean I'm unlucky. She didn't cook for me, and she didn't ask, did she? Have you lost your memory? When you came back, I greeted you in the yard. She didn't cook for me today, but I can eat my own food. What about next time? What if it's someone else? Who are you going to let go hungry and wait for tomorrow's meal?"
Fu Tingshen hesitated, "I..."
Ye Zhiyu said impatiently, "Stop with the 'you you you' and 'me me me'. If you're wrong, don't talk. It's so annoying. All I hear is your sophistry all day long."
He left after making his argument.
Liu Yuan, who hadn't managed to get a word in edgewise, glared at Fu Tingshen and Li Xi.
Liu Shengnan secretly gave Wang Qing a thumbs up and gestured with a smirk to show her Li Xi's crying face. Wang Qing pursed her lips tightly to keep from laughing.
She was either thrilled by Ye Zhiyu's words or dying of laughter at Liu Shengnan's expression.
Back in her room, Ye Zhiyu remembered something: it seemed like she was the one cooking tomorrow.
"Tsk."
Early the next morning.
Ye Zhiyu woke up at five o'clock, yawning incessantly, and groped for the clothes she had left by the bed yesterday.
I was so sleepy that I was getting dressed with my eyes closed.
It was still dark outside, and Ye Zhiyu lit the candle in the dark.
My eyes closed instinctively, and I slowly opened them again once they adjusted. Even with a candle lit, the room was still very dim.
The novel didn't mention when the electricity would be restored, which was too inconvenient at night.
Go to the kitchen, light the fire, and boil water so you can wash up later.
Just as she was busy, she heard a noise behind her. When she turned around, she saw Wu Wenwen.
"You actually got up?"
Wu Wenwen was a little surprised; she was thinking of getting up to call her.
Ye Zhiyu smiled and said, "That's just how I am. I can't sleep well the next day if I have something to do."
Even in modern times with alarm clocks, people often wake up earlier than the alarm clock itself, even though they have set it.
Qian Duoduo, who was paired with Ye Zhiyu, also came out. The group started to get busy. Qian Duoduo cooked the dishes, and Ye Zhiyu was given the staple food, which was steamed corn bread.
Wu Wenwen was directing her from the side.
Yesterday, Ye Zhiyu thought about what to do since she didn't know how to cook, so she secretly took a pound of brown sugar and asked Wu Wenwen to get up early today to teach her how to cook.
Wu Wenwen initially refused everything, saying that teaching someone to cook was a big deal, and that packing things would make her look bad.
Unable to resist Ye Zhiyu's coquettish charm, she thought that if Ye Zhiyu couldn't learn it, she would do it for her.
Ye Zhiyu quickly mastered how many people to use, how much water to add, and how to knead the dough. She was very quick to learn and could learn anything, but she was lazy.
The time-consuming part was weighing a cornbread bun. One cornbread bun was worth two ounces of grain. Everyone contributed grain according to their own appetite, so no one took advantage of anyone else.
