Chapter 68
These two people have been quiet for a long time since Lu Chen took back their property and forced them to live in the old house.
After all, there was no way to stop. Lu Dashan embezzled the pension that his own brother had earned with his life, and treated his brother's son so badly. When everyone knew about it, they naturally despised him.
Besides, his and Jiang Guihua's work points are now recorded under Lu Chen's name. After deducting the basic food and drink expenses, all of their money has to be used to pay back Lu Chen.
In this situation, Lu Chen was their creditor, so they would be stupid to deliberately go to Lu Chen. Once they went to him, they would face the risk of being urged by Lu Chen to pay back the money. They were not that stupid.
So during this period of time, the couple had been hiding from Lu Chen like a mouse seeing a cat.
But even though they didn't get close to Lu Chen, they both lived not far from each other, so they knew everything about what happened on Lu Chen's side. For example, when Lu Chen was called to the county town to learn how to operate a tractor, they knew it very well!
After the couple knew that Lu Chen went to the county town to learn how to operate a tractor, they were naturally envious and jealous, but thinking about the fact that they were both older and had to go to school, they both thought that they probably wouldn't be able to learn that thing, so they quickly adjusted their mindset and stopped being jealous.
However, they were the only one who didn't know that Lu Chen was sent by the captain to entertain the people from the capital. After learning the news, their jealousy reached an unprecedented level!
How difficult is it to pick someone up? All you need is hands. They can do it too!
When they thought about how they missed such a good opportunity, Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua felt extremely upset and unwilling to accept it.
If they could curry favor with the nobleman from the capital, then they would see how Lu Chen would dare to bully them!
Originally they had given up the struggle because of the current situation, but they didn't expect that there was a ray of hope and such a big shot had come. As long as the big shots could help them, what else could Lu Chen and the others in the team say and what they dared to say!
Maybe even their sons can get help from important people and soar to great heights!
When they thought of this, the couple's hearts suddenly began to move. They looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts at that moment. They wanted to curry favor with the big shot from the capital!
......
Lu Chen and his men naturally had no idea of Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua's little plan. After bringing the captain back to his home, he planned to leave.
However, just as he was about to leave, Old Mrs. Dong behind him immediately stopped him.
"Comrade Xiao Lu, don't leave yet!"
Old Mrs. Dong suddenly spoke, and Lu Chen's footsteps had to stop temporarily. He turned around with a puzzled look on his face.
After Mrs. Dong called the man over, her tone was a little hesitant. After all, she called Lu Chen just subconsciously because she didn't want him to leave.
Seeing that she was speechless, it was Mr. Dong who spoke first.
"Ahem, it's like this. We are old and a little tired after walking all the way. We may need to go to your house to rest for a while. Could you take us there first?"
In fact, they wanted to continue chatting with the captain's wife. While Lu Chen was away, they had already learned a lot of information about Lu Chen from her indirectly.
Although most of this information was told to them by Dong Qingcheng before, hearing it again from the captain's wife gave them a different feeling.
Perhaps women are more meticulous by nature, the captain's wife spoke much more carefully than Dong Qingcheng, and it also made Mr. and Mrs. Dong feel even more sympathetic towards Lu Chen.
This is why Mrs. Dong didn't want Lu Chen to leave her sight for even a second at this moment.
This child had such a miserable life in the past, she really wanted to hug him.
Unfortunately, their identities are still unclear, so she can only suppress her inner emotions temporarily.
When Lu Chen heard this, he did not agree immediately, but turned around and looked at the captain.
He called the captain back, but before they could even say a few words, the two old men left. Is this normal?
The captain didn't care. After all, the two old people were indeed old and their physical fitness couldn't keep up. It would be better for them to go back and rest now.
As for their conversation, now that they are in their team, they can chat anytime and anywhere.
So just like that, the old couple of the Dong family followed Lu Chen home first.
As for the captain, he originally wanted to send them over, but then he heard from Mr. Dong that his daughter and son-in-law would be here soon, and he was worried that they wouldn't be able to find anyone, so he had to trouble the captain to bring them over later.
When the captain heard this, he naturally agreed.
In the end, only Lu Chen and the other two left together.
Although it was not early at this moment, it was still a while before lunchtime, so there were not many people on the road.
As the Lu family approached, both Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong's brows unconsciously wrinkled.
Until they arrived at the gate of the small red brick courtyard, their eyes just quickly swept past this huge mansion that was almost unique in the countryside, and then they subconsciously looked at the old courtyard next door.
Lu Chen happened to notice this scene and suddenly felt something strange.
Because when most people see these two courtyards placed together, they will almost without exception choose to focus their attention on the majestic big house. As for the old courtyard next to it that is obviously full of age, few people care about it.
But the old couple of the Dong family rarely looked at the old house, which was a bit strange.
However, Lu Chen thought that maybe they were curious about this old house because it was their first time in the countryside, so he didn't think much about it.
The reason why Mr. and Mrs. Dong were so curious about the old courtyard next door was naturally because they had just learned from the captain's wife that Lu Chen had lived in that old house for more than 20 years before him, and all the members of the Lu family had lived there before that.
If Lu Chen's mother was really their daughter, that would mean that the old house was where she once lived.
Because of this relationship, the old couple was so curious about the old house next door.
Although they really wanted to go in and take a good look at the house, they knew very well that now was not the best time. They even learned from the captain's wife that the old house seemed to be occupied by Lu Chen's black-hearted uncle Lu Dashan and his family.
Thinking of what Lu Dashan had done to Lu Chen's family, the old couple's eyes suddenly turned cold.
People like this are so vicious, sooner or later someone will take care of them!
While they were thinking about this, Lu Chen had already raised his hand and knocked on the door of his house, and shouted inside: "Yin Yin."
Meng Yinyin heard a murmur coming from outside, and she quickly exclaimed, then ran over to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I wanted to ask Lu Chen why he took so long to go to town today, but before I could open my mouth, I saw two unfamiliar old people standing next to Lu Chen.
She blinked in confusion, then looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen only said: "They came from the capital."
With just this one explanation, Meng Yinyin understood. It turned out that this was the person the captain wanted to arrange to live in.
Before the Dong family arrived, Meng Yinyin was actually quite resistant and disliked their arrival, but she didn't know why, maybe it was because the two old people in front of her looked very kind, or maybe she just didn't want to argue with two good people, so her resistance was much less at this moment.
Realizing that the sun was too strong outside, she quickly stepped back to let Lu Chen and his friends in, then asked him quietly, "What do they call us?"
Her voice was very low, but it was still heard by the old couple of the Dong family next to her. Mrs. Dong smiled and said to her, "Miss, if you don't mind, just call us Grandpa Dong and Grandma Liu."
In fact, she wanted to ask Meng Yinyin to just call them Grandpa and Grandma and drop the surname in front, but she knew it was too early, so she had to give up.
However, although the address still seemed a little unfamiliar, Mrs. Dong really liked Meng Yinyin. She fell in love with this incredibly beautiful girl almost at the first sight of her.
I have to say, Lu Chen is tall and handsome, while Meng Yinyin is petite and pretty. These two are simply a perfect match!
I wonder how beautiful the children born to such a couple will be!
Meng Yinyin immediately felt the kindness that Old Lady Dong showed her, and felt even more embarrassed for her previous pettiness.
I think I am really too stingy. I have prejudice against them before they even come. This is not good.
Because of this rare feeling of guilt, Meng Yinyin was unprecedentedly warm to the old couple of the Dong family whom she met for the first time. Not only did she invite them in, she also sent Lu Chen to get some tea from the house.
The tea at home is naturally not as good as the fine products in the city, but it is also a rare thing in the countryside. This was picked by Lu Chen by accident when he went up the mountain before.
Meng Yinyin also obediently went to the kitchen to get bowls and water for them. The two young people were busy with each other, which made the two old people sitting in the main room more and more satisfied.
After Lu Chen got the tea, he quickly went to the kitchen to find Meng Yinyin. While the two old customers were not around, Meng Yinyin quickly asked about their situation.
It’s just a pity that Lu Chen didn’t know much information about them. Meng Yinyin knew that he was not a curious person, so she could only curl her lips and leave it at that.
Soon, the two of them walked into the main room with tea and entertained the two elderly people. Unfortunately, one of them was not talkative, and the other was completely unfamiliar with them and had nothing to say. They could only listen to the two elderly people chatting with them about family matters with a smile.
The questions they both asked were not too excessive, all of which were about whether they were eating well and how their lives were.
It's like meeting an elder whom I haven't seen for a long time.
This scene made Meng Yinyin feel puzzled for a while, but she still answered obediently. However, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, are the people in the capital so enthusiastic? They are so friendly on their first meeting.
Just after they chatted for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Lu Chen, open the door."
It was the captain's voice.
Lu Chen guessed that it was probably the other two people from the Dong family who had arrived, so he got up and went to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was indeed Dong Wenqian and her husband Deng Tao who had arrived. The team members had also finished work, and many members passing by looked at them curiously.
