Chapter 10010 Chu Song's Moral Kidnapping
Cen Zimu looked at this, then looked at that, and whispered into Lu Minglin's ear: "Did you provoke me again? Why didn't I realize you had this habit before?"
He could see clearly that Chu Song was targeting someone specifically.
Lu Minglin said expressionlessly: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
"Tsk, look, are you still getting angry with me?"
Chu Heng heard voices outside the courtyard and came out. Seeing the three people standing there, he quickly welcomed them, "Comrade Minglin and Cen Zhiqing, you're finally here. Come on, come inside and have a seat."
Chu Song was puzzled: "Brother?"
Seeing his younger sister's bewildered face, Chu Heng explained, "Didn't Mom tell you? I'm inviting Lu Zhiqing and Cen Zhiqing over for a quick meal today."
Chu Song's eyes widened. "Isn't today's meal a reward for me? I was the one who picked the bracken!"
It turns out she was just a byproduct, how hateful!
Ye Xiuzhi just happened to hear her arrogant words and laughed out loud. If there weren't outsiders around, she would have given her face.
What reward is there for someone who teases cats and dogs all day long? What reward should he get?
"I asked you to pick some peppers, but you're gone. Hurry and send them to your sister-in-law." Ye Xiuzhi changed her tone and greeted them kindly, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Cen, please sit down quickly and make yourself at home."
Xiao Lu
Xiao Cen~
Chu Song curled his lips sarcastically and reluctantly handed the peppers over.
"Thank you, Aunt Ye. This is our..." Cen Zimu took out the package behind him.
Although Chu Hang repeatedly emphasized that it was just a simple meal, how could they possibly visit empty-handed?
Ye Xiuzhi's face darkened. "What are you doing?! I told you guys to just come over and take it back. We don't want it!"
Chu Song appeared from behind Ye Xiuzhi, staring at the package in Cen Zimu's hand, ready to make a move.
Judging from her sharp eyes, the family backgrounds of these two people were better than each other, so the gifts they gave must be not bad either.
"Auntie, just accept it. It's not something valuable. It's just a small token of our appreciation."
Ye Xiuzhi was unmoved: "Take it away, take it away. If you still recognize me as your aunt, take the things back. Today I am only responsible for eating and drinking well."
"Aunt Ye, what are you talking about?" Cen Zimu said sweetly, "We've been in the countryside for so long, and thanks to you and Uncle Chu's care, we've wanted to visit for a long time, but unfortunately we never found the opportunity. Now, I'm taking this opportunity to finally come and bother you."
Ye Xiuzhi was coaxed into a good mood and laughed: "Talking about this..."
"So, Aunt Ye, you must accept the gift, otherwise we won't dare come again next time. Right, Minglin?"
Lu Minglin nodded.
Ye Xiuzhi wanted to refuse a few more times, but Chu Song couldn't help it. Seeing the two of them pulling each other from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Book House, she stretched out her hand.
"Mom, it's a kind gesture from someone, so let's just accept it." Turning around, her smile was brighter than the flowers, "Thank you, Brother Zimu, you're such a kind person."
"It's my duty, it's my duty." Cen Zimu was dazed for a moment by her smile. He touched his nose and said, "Hiss, she sounded so sweet."
Although the things all belonged to Lu Minglin, he was just borrowing them to offer a token of appreciation.
I'm afraid some people feel bad about it.
Ye Xiuzhi glared at her daughter, but eventually accepted it. She said some polite words and smiled even more cordially, "Well, next time you come, don't bring anything. You guys chat, the food will be ready soon."
Cen Zimu answered yes repeatedly.
Ye Xiuzhi was too embarrassed to open the package in front of the guests, so she put it into the house. Chu Song followed her eagerly.
"Mom, what's inside? Open it and take a look."
Ye Xiuzhi was also curious, so she opened it and took a look, and her expression immediately changed.
A can of canned meat, a can of canned fruit, and a gift box of cakes with beautiful patterns printed on them are all in high demand.
Chu Song was a little excited and just as he was about to take action, Ye Xiuzhi held his paw down and said, "No, wait until after dinner and return it to me."
Chu Song couldn't believe it: "Why?"
Ye Xiuzhi: "Silly guy, we're just inviting people over for a simple meal. How can you accept such a generous gift?"
"Why are you embarrassed? I feel embarrassed."
There was really no way to communicate. Ye Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm not as shameless as you. Alright, alright, stop arguing with me. If you want to eat it, I'll buy it for you later. Don't be greedy for other people's food."
Chu Songcai didn't believe her empty promise, and groaned, "Mother—"
"It's no use calling mom."
Outrageous, outrageous! The cooked duck actually flew away. Chu Song stamped his feet in anger: "What if they insisted on giving it away?"
"I won't accept it, but he still forced it on me? Do you think he has so much money to burn?"
"Why not? The rich will help the poor. They are so rich, so what's wrong with helping a poor guy like me?"
Ye Xiuzhi looked as if she had seen a ghost. Once again, she was impressed by her daughter's shamelessness. Look, look! She has even learned to morally blackmail others.
"What a mess! If you dare to say such nonsense, I will punish you!"
"Hmph." Chu Song didn't dare to confront her mother, so she expressed her dissatisfaction in a timid manner.
"Bullshit, go make a pot of tea."
Chu Song went to make tea while cursing. As soon as he left the room, the resentment on his face disappeared, replaced by a lovely smile. He called out everyone's names one by one: "Dad, big brother, second brother, brother Zimu, and Lu Zhiqing, have some tea."
Chu Song believed that she was able to be loved by everyone in the Chu family and flowers bloom wherever she went. It was all because of her sweet talk and adaptability. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.
That’s right, everyone in the Chu family fell for her smiling face policy.
Just think about it, with such an active and clever daughter/sister following you around, calling out to people in a crisp voice, who can resist feeling soft-hearted? My heart almost melts!
Even Chai Xueqi sometimes couldn't control herself, and of course, she would be so angry at her shamelessness that she would have a myocardial infarction.
Not everyone can have Chu Song's good face, like at this moment.
Brother Zimu and Lu Zhiqing.
Lu Minglin tasted the difference between the two in his heart.
He didn't have a big appetite, so when Cen Zimu was worrying about what gift to give, he just picked out some food sent by his family.
It’s hard to say how much Lu Minglin cared about it, after all, he had only met the person two or three times in total.
But Chu Song's double-standard attitude of "whoever gives me milk is my mother" made him feel a little complicated, especially since the thing was taken out of his pocket.
I always feel like I've been taken advantage of again.
"By the way, Xiao Lu and Xiao Cen are both from the capital, right?"
The meal was not ready yet. Chu Yaoguo, as the head of the family, was sitting in the yard with a pipe in his hand, not smoking, but chatting with someone.
The three Chu Song siblings sat around, listening and eating melon seeds.
Cen Zimu replied: "Yes, Uncle Chu, Minglin and I both came from the capital."
In this era of underdeveloped transportation, the capital was sacred in the eyes of most people, especially those in the countryside. The farthest place they had been to was probably the county town, let alone the capital.
Chu Hang enviously asked, "Then is it convenient for you to go to Tiananmen Square?"
Lu Minglin said, "It's OK. It will take about twenty minutes to drive."
"There's even a car!" Chu Hang became even more envious.
Look at this girl who has never seen the world. Chu Song was crunching melon seeds, feeling disdainful in his heart. Not only does she have a car, she has also raced it.
What's the point? I don't even have two cents in my pocket.
"That's great. I'd like to visit the capital if I have the chance."
"It would be great if I could go to the capital and work as a worker. I heard their salaries are incredibly high, over 30 yuan a month!"
Chu Song sighed: "Second brother, you are already daydreaming, why don't you dare to dream big?"
Chu Heng smiled and said, "Isn't it a big deal? Uncle Liu at the village entrance brags every day about his youngest son working at the county steel mill, earning 18 yuan a month, only half of what workers in the capital make."
"The average wage for workers in the capital is around 28 yuan. Workers in heavy factories generally earn higher wages, while textile factories pay a bit less," Lu Minglin explained patiently, then casually revealed, "My mother's monthly salary is around 500 yuan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Chu family, father and son, all took a deep breath. My goodness, five hundred yuan, they couldn’t even earn that much in a year!
Lu Minglin saw Chu Song’s wide-open eyes as he wished, and he finally felt a little relieved.
So when he came to his senses, he saw Cen Zimu's exaggerated expression, "Did I hear it right? You are showing off your wealth." Lu Minglin was embarrassed. He coughed lightly and turned his head away awkwardly.
"My mother usually runs a small business."
Everyone in the Chu family nodded. It turned out that they were businessmen. They were probably being modest when they said they had a small business. They could earn more than 500 yuan a month, which was a huge business for them.
Although they were surprised and envious, they knew better than to ask any questions.
After Lu Minglin cleverly changed the subject, the few of them turned to talk about other things.
Chu Song gritted his teeth jealously, wishing he could take his place.
My family lives within the Second Ring Road. My mother is a businesswoman. I don’t know what my father’s occupation is, but I can tell it’s not bad.
God damn, there are so many rich people, what’s wrong with having one more of her! ?
Even if we take a step back, why can't Lu Minglin's rich mother just adopt her as her goddaughter for no reason?
Chu Song blamed the heavens and the earth, and blamed his mortal enemy for writing such a crappy novel, and cursed him several times in his heart.
On the other hand, Lu Minglin felt ashamed and embarrassed. How could he... It was as if he was overwhelmed and revealed all this like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
What on earth was he enjoying?
Lu Minglin is not a person who likes to show off. After working in the countryside for more than half a year, the only person who knows his background is Cen Zimu, who grew up with him and went to the countryside with him.
The rest of the people who wanted to find out were all fooled by him. Even the educated youth who lived and ate with him at the educated youth center only knew that he was from the capital and had a good family background.
I don’t know anything else.
So Chu Song... is really poisonous.
Lu Minglin thought that Chu Song was a person who he absolutely could not spend too much time with.
