"Yuan Chao, you've come. Did you come to pick me up?"
Zhong Yanling came out and looked at Lu Yuanchao softly.
Lu Yuanchao wasn't there to pick her up; she was there to share her joy with Brother Yuan. But she couldn't say it outright, so she could only give an awkward smile.
"Sister Yanling, are you feeling any better? If you're still not feeling well, you can rest here a bit more. Your second brother will come to pick you up when he gets back."
After sharing his joy with Brother Yuan, he still had to go find Dongzi and Maodou; he didn't want to send his future sister-in-law back home.
Zhong Yanling seemed oblivious to the implication in his words, and said, "I'm much better now, so I won't bother Comrade Lu Yuan and Comrade Mo Xue any longer. Yuan Chao, you should take me back."
Having said all that, Lu Yuanchao couldn't very well refuse.
After the two left, Wen Moxue even pretended to prescribe a bitter medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying.
Lu Yuan stared at the two figures walking side by side, feeling that something was off about Zhong Yanling, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
It wasn't until he noticed that the person was intentionally or unintentionally sticking close to Lu Yuanchao as he walked that he realized what was happening.
Is it appropriate for someone who is going to be a sister-in-law to walk so close to her future brother-in-law, instead of keeping a distance?
Not only did he notice the problem, but even Lu Xiaoqin noticed something amiss.
"Why was Jiefang's girlfriend always squeezing against Yuanchao when they were walking? The road is so wide, why was she always walking next to him?"
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes. After the two figures turned the corner and disappeared from sight, he instructed, "Xiao Qin, go with them and help take them back."
"But I'm about to start cooking."
“You go ahead, I’ll do it today,” Wen Moxue said.
"But your belly is so big, how can you cook?"
Wen Moxue's belly was indeed frightening, but with the spiritual spring water protecting her, she didn't feel tired at all.
"I can't do it, but I still have your older brother, right?"
Lu Yuan immediately said, "Yes, and me too, I'll do it."
"Alright, I'll be right back after I send the person back."
As Lu Xiaoqin spoke, she chased after him.
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue turned around and went back into the house.
"Brother Yuan, don't you think there's something strange about Zhong Yanling?"
"You think so too?" Lu Yuan asked instead of answering.
Wen Moxue thought for a moment and said, "A woman's sixth sense is that she feels she really wants to get close to Yuan Chao."
"Isn't it just an attempt to seduce her?"
Wen Moxue looked at him in surprise, "You think she's seducing you? But now that you mention it, it does seem like that."
Lu Yuan said, "The fact that she said she wasn't feeling well and stayed in the brigade was suspicious. If she really wasn't feeling well, she probably would have been taken back to the commune clinic by Jiefang. Besides, you checked her and she's not sick at all. So what's the purpose of keeping her here? We'll see what she did today."
Wen Moxue seemed thoughtful. "What she did today didn't seem to have any problems, but it seems she wanted to call on North Korea to help her."
"It seems that way right now. She was going to the river to wash clothes and had Yuanchao follow her. Then she fell into the water, probably because she was sure that Yuanchao would save her."
"I just didn't expect Jia Liqin to come to North Korea's aid first."
"That's right, if one move doesn't work, we'll try another."
"So she immediately pretended to faint, thinking that Yuanchao would personally bring her to our house. Unfortunately, Yuanchao happened to like Jia Liqin, and her plan failed again."
The young couple, talking back and forth, figured out most of Zhong Yanling's plan.
Lu Yuan nodded, "Going back now would be a good opportunity for the next step."
"So you let Xiaoqin follow along, so that even if she has a trick up her sleeve, she can't use it."
Lu Yuan smiled and pinched her pretty cheek, "My wife is really smart."
Wen Moxue pulled his hand to her lips, gently biting it with her pearly teeth, "Not even half as good as my husband."
Lu Yuan felt a current surge from his fingertips straight to his heart, then down to his lower abdomen, leaving a tingling, numb sensation.
"daughter in law……"
Lu Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he called out in a hoarse voice, unconsciously wanting to hug the person tightly, but his big belly was pressing against him.
Wen Moxue pushed him away with a mischievous grin, "Alright, time to cook!"
After saying that, the person walked towards the kitchen.
Lu Yuan stood there stunned. This girl was definitely doing it on purpose; she teased him and then ignored him.
Sigh, judging by the days, it'll be several more months before we can eat meat again. Being a monk isn't easy!
He followed her to the kitchen eagerly, saying, "Honey, don't move, I'll cook."
Lu Xiaoqin didn't return until Lu Yuan and his wife had almost finished cooking the meal, with only the last dish left to cook.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I'm sorry I'm late."
He immediately apologized, then explained, "It wasn't my fault for coming back late; something really came up."
"What's wrong?" Wen Moxue asked.
Lu Xiaoqin grinned, "Big brother and sister-in-law, you have no idea what Zhong Yanling has done."
The couple became interested and didn't bother making the last dish, instead listening with great interest to Lu Xiaoqin's gossip.
"When I caught up with her, I saw Zhong Yanling fall into Yuan Chao's arms. I rushed over immediately and saw that she had fainted, so I started to pinch her philtrum."
At this point, Lu Xiaoqin chuckled.
"I guessed she was faking it; my sister-in-law said she was fine. So I didn't hold back and pinched her with all my might, and she immediately jumped up. Pfft, hahahahaha..."
"Goose, goose, goose..." Wen Moxue laughed heartily.
"And then?" Lu Yuan pressed.
"Later she said she felt very dizzy again and wanted Yuanchao to carry her. Yuanchao and I suggested that we send her back so that her sister-in-law could take a look. She refused and insisted on going back, so we had no choice but to send her back again."
"Did Yuanchao carry her on his back?" Wen Moxue asked curiously.
"Yuanchao was a little embarrassed, so I ended up carrying her on my back. Don't let her small size fool you, she's quite heavy, and I was almost exhausted."
