"Since I've said it, then you'll come back with me and have a reunion dinner together."
Cui Yulu gently coaxed Fu Xiaoyu, suggesting they leave together and return to the cave for a meal.
However, Fu Xiaoyu insisted on taking Qiao Yuzhu with him, and in the end, Cui Yulu couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had to let Qiao Yuzhu go with him.
Actually, she didn't dislike Qiao Yuzhu, but Qiao Yuzhu's attitude towards her had never been very good. She probably liked Fu Xiaoyu.
"Since Miss Qiao is willing to come along, let's go together."
“It’s not that I want to go there, but Brother Xiaoyu can’t live without me right now, so I have to go and take care of him.”
Cui Yulu heard this and could be clearly provocative.
However, she didn't want to ruin her good mood today, so she let her be.
"In that case, please take good care of him, Miss Qiao, and make sure he doesn't run away again."
After glancing at Fu Xiaoyu, Cui Yulu left with the little mute boy. The relationship between the four of them along the way was also unpredictable.
Qiao Yuzhu kept trying to test whether Cui Yulu was sincere, but the mute Xu Zhengfan kept interrupting, preventing Cui Yulu from having much contact with her.
Fu Xiaoyu watched as Cui Yulu and the little mute girl grew closer and closer, and she felt extremely jealous.
"You're lying. Your method doesn't work at all. My wife is ignoring me now. I'm not betting with you anymore."
He pouted and kept walking forward with his head down, completely ignoring Qiao Yuzhu.
"You and your nonsense are only just beginning. Be patient and wait a little longer, and you'll see."
Although Qiao Yuzhu verbally scolded him for talking nonsense, she secretly liked this man even more.
The coldness of the past has been replaced by a more down-to-earth and human touch, which makes her even more attracted to it.
When they returned to the cave, everyone was gathered around the table waiting for them.
Everyone was surprised to see Qiao Yuzhu come along as well.
This woman's reason for not interacting with outsiders is different from Du Sanniang's. Everyone is afraid of Du Sanniang and doesn't want to interact with her, but Qiao Yuzhu is different. Everyone wants to interact with her, but she doesn't want to interact with everyone and always keeps to herself.
I never expected to see this place with Fu Xiaoyu and the other two today.
"Oh my, welcome to our village's beautiful Qiao Meizi's visit to our little stone cave! It has truly made our humble abode shine with glory."
Xia Lan'er glanced at Lai Guitou and gently scolded, "You can't take your eyes off a beautiful woman. Be careful you don't get a sty one day, it'll hurt you to death, you bastard."
Just as Lai Guitou was getting into his story, he suddenly sneezed three times in a row.
Sensing that someone was talking about him behind his back, he quickly turned to look at Xia Lan'er.
Seeing that she was glaring at him angrily, he quickly shut his mouth.
"Hehe, just listen to it as it is, I'm happy if you're happy."
Lai Guitou's silly grin made everyone burst into laughter, and they started to chatter.
The two, who had rarely spoken before, started chatting.
We're all from the martial arts world, with a bold and unrestrained nature, unlike me who has so many twists and turns.
The conversation was fairly relaxed, but Fu Xiaoyu kept a close eye on Cui Yulu and the little mute's every move.
Seeing that he had served Cui Yulu some food, he immediately followed suit and served Cui Yulu an identical dish.
Soon, Cui Yulu's bowl was overflowing; she couldn't possibly finish it all.
The two seemed to be competing with each other, going back and forth, completely disregarding Cui Yulu's life or death.
Everyone found it amusing, and no one dared to stop it, treating it as just another source of amusement in the small village.
Qiao Yuzhu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She gently tugged at Fu Xiaoyu's clothes under the stone table and whispered something in his ear.
"You made a mistake. You should have served me food instead of giving it to her. That way you could see if she really cares about you."
After listening to her words, he turned to face her and saw affection in her eyes.
He quickly turned his head away from her.
"I'll get you some food, just look away."
Fu Xiaoyu reminded her in a simple voice, and then picked up a piece of braised fish with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl.
"You eat fish, my wife cooks it well."
When he put it in her bowl, he reminded her that it was made by his wife, which made her lose her appetite.
Moreover, she doesn't like eating fish at all; fish has bones, and she doesn't like picking them out.
However, since Cui Yulu liked it, Fu Xiaoyu remembered it and would save it for Cui Yulu every time he saw the jade.
Seeing the two of them like that, the little mute girl put a piece of fish with the bones removed into Cui Yulu's bowl as well.
He gestured with his hands and said, "This is delicious. I've already removed the thorns, so you can eat it without worry."
Cui Yulu knew that the two of them had been secretly competing with each other. She was usually oblivious to this, but when she saw Qiao Yuzhu feeding Fu Xiaoyu, she got angry and readily accepted the fish.
"Thank you. Have a piece of meat. It tastes really good. You're a bit thin; you need to eat more to make it better."
And so, the mute Xu Zhengfan accepted the braised pork that Cui Yulu gave him, his face beaming with joy, and his heart filled with indescribable happiness.
I finally experienced a happiness I had never felt before.
The little mute boy laughed without a care in the world, his face beaming with uncontrollable happiness.
"Haha, everyone, look at the expression on this little mute's face! I've never seen him so happy before. Could it be that this kid has taken a fancy to our Yulu?"
"You're everywhere. Shut up and eat your food."
Xia Lan'er grabbed Lai Guitou's ear and forced his head down.
Everyone who saw this pair of clowns was amused.
Only the four parties involved felt differently at this moment.
We looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Qiao Yuzhu, you keep pestering someone else's husband. Could it be that you want to become his concubine?"
Du San Niang couldn't stand Qiao Yuzhu's manipulative behavior, so she asked her on behalf of her friend why she did this.
"Haha, what are you saying, Third Sister? When I met Brother Xiaoyu, she was still nowhere to be found. Besides, Brother Xiaoyu has amnesia. Their relationship might not even be that of husband and wife. It's not certain who is older or younger."
When Qiao Yuzhu said that, everyone was completely stunned. It turned out that Qiao Yuzhu knew Fu Xiaoyu before, which meant that the relationship between the three of them was quite complicated.
When Fu Xiaoyu heard her talk about her background, she also opened her eyes wide with curiosity and looked at her.
Let her continue.
As a result, Qiao Yuzhu just looked at Cui Yulu smugly, with no intention of saying anything more.
"Since you know about our relationship, please take good care of him. After you finish eating, the two of you can leave together."
No one expected Cui Yulu to say that, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
Even the old man who had been enjoying his meal just moments before couldn't help but stop eating.
“You young people are really troublemakers. You haven’t explained anything clearly, so why are you giving up? This is not something a responsible person should do.”
