Chapter 72
No, how did they get together? And they seemed to be having a good conversation?
Don’t Dong Wenqian and her husband know about the relationship between Lu Chen and Lu Dashan, and what happened between them?
At this moment, Meng Yinyin was directly confused.
Although she could tentatively assume that Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao were unaware of what Lu Dashan had done to Lu Chen, and that was why they were hanging out with Lu Dashan, but even though she knew that this was excusable, Meng Yinyin still felt a little unhappy when she saw this scene, as if she was dissatisfied that her own people were getting along well with the enemy behind her back.
But after realizing this, she was shocked.
Why does she treat Dong Wenqian and the others as her own people now?
This is not good, this is not good!
Lu Chen hasn't even decided whether to accept the Dong family, so how can she treat them as her own? Isn't it just that they are easy to get along with and a little more friendly?
No, no, we have to continue observing!
After thinking about it, Meng Yinyin originally planned to look for Yu Xiaoyu, but finally changed her steps and quietly followed Dong Wenqian, Lu Dashan and his group.
She didn't follow very closely, after all, if she followed too closely she would probably be discovered.
However, as she followed them from a distance, she couldn't hear what they were saying at all. Meng Yinyin could only guess from their expressions.
Judging from the expressions of the three of them, it seemed that Lu Dashan was the one who was talking and smiling the whole time, as if he was introducing the scenery of the entire brigade to Dong Wen Qian and the others. Dong Wen Qian and her husband did not say much the whole time.
Could it be that they really just came out for a stroll and then found Lu Dashan to lead them?
However, when Meng Yinyin was following inadvertently from behind, she didn't want to be seen by Yu Xiaoyu.
"Yin Yin? What are you doing here?"
Meng Yinyin almost jumped up in fright when she heard Yu Xiaoyu's voice from behind.
She turned around and saw Yu Xiaoyu standing behind her with a large package in her hands.
Meng Yinyin was stunned for a moment, but the moment she saw the package in her hand, all other thoughts were temporarily forgotten. She asked Yu Xiaoyu in surprise.
"Xiaoyu, is this the package you received from home?"
Yu Xiaoyu was no longer curious about what Meng Yinyin was doing just now with that thief look on her face. She just said "hmm" with a cheerful tone.
"Yes, I went to town early this morning to pick it up. My family sent it to me. Oh, and there's also the textbook you wanted before!"
Meng Yinyin was immediately happier when she heard that the things she needed were sent to her!
"Let me help you carry it!"
Having said that, Meng Yinyin stepped forward and picked up the huge package with Yu Xiaoyu. Since they both met, they naturally headed towards the educated youth site.
Because Yu Xiaoyu had asked for leave to pick up the package, there was no one else in the entire educated youth center except her and Meng Yinyin at the moment, which made it convenient for the two of them to pack their things.
Yu Xiaoyu's family is not very wealthy, but the conditions are not bad either. There are only three siblings in the family. Her two older brothers are brothers. They have found jobs and both brothers love her very much. If she hadn't been reluctant to let her brothers go to the countryside to replace her, it would probably be her brothers who are in the countryside now.
Because they were worried that she, a girl, might not have enough food and sleep in the countryside, the rest of the family would usually send her things. This time, she took the initiative to write back and say that she wanted to send things, so her family naturally tried their best to meet her request. Not only did they send her food and clothes, but they also gave her a complete set of teaching materials.
"Wow, your family is amazing."
Although Meng Yinyin just heard Yu Xiaoyu say on the road that the high school textbooks and teaching materials had been found, she did not expect that the Yu family was so amazing and had collected so many textbooks, even the foreign language textbooks.
Looking at this pile of books, Meng Yinyin became even more determined to seize the opportunity of the college entrance examination and never let down her family’s efforts!
She stayed with Yu Xiaoyu for a while, and Yu Xiaoyu packed some food sent by her family. Although Meng Yinyin refused with all her might, she was still blocked by Yu Xiaoyu's words, "I have been eating and drinking for free at your house for so long, what's wrong with you eating some of my things? Is it because my food is not delicious and you don't like it?"
Meng Yinyin: “…”
What else could she say? In the end, she had no choice but to pick up the things.
Finally, she returned home quickly with the food given by Yu Xiaoyu in one hand and a thick book in the other.
When she got home, she found that Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao seemed not to have returned yet. She curled her lips and thought to herself that they actually had so much to talk about with Lu Dashan.
But she was too lazy to care about it anymore. She would just report the matter to Lu Chen when she got home in the evening and that would be it.
Then she quickly returned to her room and packed up the things Yu Xiaoyu had given her, especially the pile of books.
Now is not the time to announce certain policies, so she cannot let her guard down or someone will notice something.
After carefully flipping through the books, time passed quickly. Meng Yinyin quickly packed up the books. Just as she put everything away, she heard a sound coming from outside the yard. It was Lu Dashan's unique loud voice.
"Oh, we haven't finished shopping today. If you don't mind, I'll take you shopping again tomorrow morning?"
"Don't worry, I'll go talk to the captain later, it's nothing!"
It was a pity that Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao had no intention of going for another walk, so they politely declined with a smile.
Lu Dashan was naturally disappointed.
After all, if he accompanied Dong Wenqian and the others, the team leader would be more or less considerate, so if he asked for leave, maybe he wouldn't have his work points deducted and might even be praised!
It’s just a pity that Dong Wenqian and the others didn’t want to go shopping anymore.
Seeing this, Lu Dashan could only go home disappointed.
However, thinking about the scene of him and Dong Wenqian having a pleasant conversation this afternoon, Lu Dashan felt happy again.
Judging from the fact that Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao kept chatting with him, he should have naturally made inroads into their inner circle and become closer to them, right?
Although Lu Dashan felt a little strange that some of the questions Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao asked in the afternoon were about Lu Chen's parents, he always felt something was wrong.
But they came from the capital, so it should have nothing to do with their family.
Maybe they asked this out of pure curiosity. After all, they were staying at Lu Chen's house now, so they had to know something about Lu Chen's family.
After thinking about it this way, Lu Dashan suddenly didn't find it strange anymore.
As for Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao, after separating from Lu Dashan, they quickly returned to the room of the old couple of the Dong family, closed the door, and started chatting about something.
Meng Yinyin heard the noise from behind her door, but she could only listen. When the family of four entered the room, she could hear nothing.
She even began to wonder if the Dong family members were saying bad things about Lu Chen in the same room at that moment?
After all, the relationship between Lu Dashan and Lu Chen is known to everyone who is a local in the Nanjiao Brigade. The grudge between them cannot be fully described in a few words.
Besides, Lu Dashan is a stingy person to begin with. He might just seize this opportunity to work in the dark with Dong Wenqian and the others, confusing right and wrong!
Meng Yinyin had no way of guessing how bad he could be.
Now she only hopes that Dong Wenqian and her husband, who are from a big city, can be more normal-minded and not believe everything they hear.
Alas, otherwise she wouldn't know if there would be conflicts between them living under the same roof in the future.
What Meng Yinyin didn't know was that the conversation next door was completely different from what she had imagined. Not only was it different, it was also heading in the opposite direction.
As soon as Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao returned home, they were stopped by the anxiously waiting old couple. They kept asking them if they had heard anything from Lu Dashan, especially about Lu Chen's mother.
Hearing this, Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao looked at each other, then nodded grimly.
“I heard some.”
When the old couple of the Dong family heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they asked excitedly.
"What did you find out? Tell me now!"
Then, Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao immediately told what they had learned indirectly from Lu Dashan.
The general information about Lu Chen's mother was similar to what Dong Qingcheng had found out before, such as his mother's surname was Lin and her grandfather raised her alone.
But apart from these, Lu Dashan had been a family member of Lu Chen's mother for some time and knew something that others didn't know.
For example, he knew that Lu Chen's mother was not his grandfather's biological daughter.
According to Lu Dashan, only he and his old mother, Lu Chen's grandmother, knew about this.
As for how Lu Dashan knew about it, he explained that he overheard the old lady say it by accident, but Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao felt that Lu Dashan might have overheard it. After all, this matter was not glorious, and the old lady was obviously someone who knew what was going on, so it was impossible for her to tell Lu Dashan on her own initiative.
But Dong Wenqian pretended to be curious and asked Lu Dashan how his old mother knew about this. Lu Dashan began to hesitate and said that he was not very clear about it either, as it happened too long ago.
Moreover, when Lu Dashan told Dong Wenqian and the others about this, he actually wanted to take the opportunity to tell them that Lu Chen's mother was a person of unknown identity. To put it bluntly, she was a bastard, and might even be someone's unwanted child.
If all mothers are like this, how can Lu Chen, the son, be any better?
It seemed that Dong Wenqian and the others didn't mind this, so he lost his patience and was too lazy to talk about it anymore.
When they heard the news, the old couple of the Dong family naturally became even more upset.
But the two of them looked at their son and son-in-law, knowing that they had not finished speaking, so they could only control their emotions and continue waiting for them to speak.
Sure enough, Dong Wenqian calmed down and continued, "But when we were outside, we met an old lady. The first time she saw me, she called out Lu Chen's mother's name."
What!
The old couple of the Dong family were really shocked this time.
At that time, the three of them happened to arrive at Grandpa Lu Chen's house.
But the house had already collapsed in half and was in such a state of disrepair that it was no longer habitable.
Not only that, there were also weeds everywhere. If they hadn't suggested wanting to go and see the home where Lu Chen's mother once lived, Lu Dashan would have probably forgotten that place existed long ago.
After the three of them arrived there, he was still sighing that this place was remote and deep in a valley. Few people from their team came here. Moreover, since his mother died in the land sinking, no one had lived there. More than 20 years had passed, and the house had long been in a state of disrepair.
Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao were disappointed when they saw the house with a rotten roof. They had thought they could find some clues at Lu Chen's grandfather's house.
I didn't expect the result to be like this.
Just when they were about to leave, they happened to meet an old man. The old man seemed to be old and a little confused. The moment he saw Dong Wenqian, he suddenly shouted Lu Chen's mother's name to her.
"Lin Xiu, you are Lin Xiu, you are back to see your dad? Why don't you come to my house and sit down, I still have you when you were little..."
Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao wanted to continue listening to the old lady finish her words, but they saw the old lady being taken back home by her daughter or daughter-in-law, who was apologizing to Dong Wenqian and the others while taking her away.
"Oh, I'm sorry. My mother is old and her mind is not clear anymore. She often mistakes people for each other. Please don't mind!"
Besides, Lin Xiu has been dead for many years. Now you still say that a living person looks like her. Isn't this simply offending people!
The old lady's daughter-in-law grumbled in her heart, fearing that something more trouble would happen, so she quickly took the person away by force.
