Gao Lechuan also nodded in agreement, making everyone laugh.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun also ate happily. The little ones stuffed their mouths full and said incoherently, "Mom's cooking is the best."
After the meal, Lin Yuexi handed some local specialties to Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan, saying, "These are some things I made at home. They are not worth much. You can take them with you on the road. I also gave them two jars of wine brewed with spiritual spring water and ginseng and thirty kilograms of dried bear meat..."
Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan quickly declined, but still accepted it at Lin Yuexi's insistence.
Before parting, Xiao Yichen's expression became serious, and he said to Lu Cheng: "Brother Cheng, you should rest assured to recover from your injury. If you have any problems, please write to me. I will also pay attention to the situation in the army. After your leg is healed, you may go directly back to the military academy to study..."
Gao Lechuan also patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, we are all waiting for you in Beijing..."
Lu Cheng looked at them gratefully: "Good brothers, thank you. This time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
Lin Yuexi stood aside, watching their brotherhood, and couldn't help but be moved.
She said to Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan, "Two brothers, be careful on your journey. If you have the chance in the future, you are welcome to visit our home again."
Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan got on the jeep and waved goodbye to them.
The jeep started and drove away. Lu Cheng's family stood at the door and did not leave for a long time.
After seeing off Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan, Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi took the two children back to the house. Not long after, Lu Jianguo and Wang Lijuan came to visit with Lu Xiaomei, and the family received them warmly.
Wang Lijuan and Lin Yuexi were chatting privately, the three children were playing in the yard, and Lu Jianmin and Lu Cheng brothers chatted for a long time. No one knew what they talked about. Anyway, Lu Cheng didn't say much after that, and Lu Jianmin looked ashamed.
Until noon, Lin Yuexi invited the family to have lunch and also gave Lu Xiaomei a very fashionable set of clothes. The little girl immediately smiled when she received it.
A few days passed like this, and Liu Cuihua finally couldn't hold back any longer. She heard that after Lu Cheng was injured, the army gave him 5,000 yuan in compensation.
Now Lin Yuexi is taking care of him, and the army also subsidizes him 100 yuan every month, which is a considerable income.
That night, Liu Cuihua brought Lu Jianguo and Li Xiuying to Lu Cheng's house despite her husband Lu Zhendong's dissuasion.
In her opinion, Lu Cheng was her son, and the generous compensation and monthly allowance should be hers.
She thought that as long as she persuaded Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi to divorce, she would be able to control the money, and she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and she would be able to hold her head high in the village.
When they arrived at Lu Cheng's house, Liu Cuihua shouted at the top of her voice: "Cheng'er, mother is here to see you."
Lu Cheng was sitting in a wheelchair playing hopscotch with two children. When he heard the voice, his brows frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
Recently, under the guidance of Lin Yuexi, he has been able to operate the wheelchair very flexibly and can be said to be very proficient in it.
He didn't know where Lin Yuexi got such an advanced wheelchair. He just needed to say, "Xiao A, move forward, and it will move forward. Just say Xiao A, move backward, and it will stop..."
Lu Cheng thought that with such an advanced wheelchair, he would be able to survive even if he had to lie down like this for the rest of his life, and all such good things came from Lin Yuexi.
So his feelings towards Lin Yuexi rose to a higher level from guilt, and he was glad that he was lucky enough to marry such a good wife.
When Liu Cuihua's voice came, Lu Cheng knew that it was definitely not good.
After hearing this, Lin Yuexi stopped what she was doing, looked at Lu Cheng, and for Lu Cheng's sake, she stood up and opened the door.
"Hey, Yuexi, Cheng'er is much better now, right?" Liu Cuihua said as she glanced into the house. Without waiting for Lin Yuexi to greet her, she went into the house on her own.
When Lu Cheng saw Liu Cuihua, his face instantly turned cold: "What are you doing here?"
Liu Cuihua, however, seemed not to hear what he said. She walked straight to Lu Cheng, took his hand and began to cry: "Son, you have suffered so much. Look at your legs, what has happened to them. Mother feels so bad. If I had known earlier, I should have taken you home and let mother take care of you personally."
Lu Cheng suddenly shook off Liu Cuihua's hand and said, "Mom, stop being so hypocritical. My second brother told me a few days ago about what you did to Yuexi, Ziyan, and Xiyun in the past five years.
You said you felt sorry for me and wanted to take care of me personally, but who would believe me?
When I was unconscious, when you forced Yuexi to give you money, did you ever think of taking care of me personally?
Now that you see I've woken up and have received compensation and subsidies, do you want to take care of me?"
Liu Cuihua's face turned pale and red, but she continued to say, "Son, don't be confused. You are my flesh and blood, how can I not love you?
Don't listen to Lin Yuexi. Does she want to live a good life relying on you?
We are mother and son, so we are better than an outsider, right? "
Seeing Liu Cuihua's high-sounding words, Lu Cheng was so angry that his face turned black, and he immediately replied, "You still know that I am your son?"
"Third brother, how can you talk like that? I heard that after you were injured, mother cried so much that her eyes were blind... If it weren't for that bitch Lin Yuexi who was eager to go to Beijing to take care of you, mother and I would have come to Beijing to take care of you a long time ago..." Lu Jianguo interrupted.
“Yuexi, go get that severance agreement and let mother see how you cried your eyes out for me…” Lu Cheng was furious.
"Okay..." Lin Yuexi responded and left, and after a while put the letter of severance on the table.
Liu Cuihua took the letter of severance and said, "Son! You must not listen to the second son! He is a jerk who forgets his mother after marrying a wife. Can you believe what he says?"
"I can't trust my second brother's words, but I can trust Captain Li's words! When you saw me injured and unconscious, you forced Yuexi to give you the 200 yuan I remitted, and even signed a letter of severance. You are really my dear mother!"
"Oh, Cheng'er! Lin Yuexi forced me to sign this. It's a misunderstanding! After all, we are mother and son, connected by blood. Lin Yuexi is an outsider. Didn't you dislike her before? Why don't you divorce her now? Mom promises to take good care of you in the future."
Lin Yuexi stood aside, watching Liu Cuihua's performance quietly, sneering in her heart.
She wanted to see what tricks Liu Cuihua could come up with.
Lu Cheng was so angry that his chest heaved violently: "Don't even think about it, I finally see your true colors now.
You have no idea how much Yuexi has done for me.
She is raising two children, managing the family, and taking care of me wholeheartedly. I will never divorce her."
