Without even thinking, the eldest child answered, "Yes!"
Chen Yourun was very comforting, "Then go and tell your mother that you want your father to stay for dinner, okay?"
The eldest son patted his chest and ran over in a few steps.
Chen Yourun smelled the aroma; it smelled wonderful. How could pig offal taste so delicious? Even someone as frugal as him, who hadn't eaten much yesterday and hadn't eaten much this morning, couldn't help but swallow hard when he was hungry.
Thinking to herself, "Since Da Wa has spoken up, Madam Yin... will... agree, right?"
Then he heard the eldest child's childish voice say, "Mom, Dad said I want him to stay for dinner!"
"Cough cough cough..." Chen Yourun's saliva, which he hadn't yet swallowed, was abruptly choked up.
What does it mean to be a "pitiful father"?
When Chen Yourun looked at his son in disbelief, the eldest son gave his father a smug little expression, as if he had accomplished his mission.
Chen Yourun: "..."
Whose child is this? Can't you just take him home? This is ridiculous!
Yin Lan looked over with a puzzled and surprised gaze. Chen Yourun had no choice but to go forward. Fortunately, his strong aura was still there. Even in this situation, after the initial panic, he immediately regained his composure without blushing or skipping a beat.
“The child wants me to stay for dinner.” He ignored what the child had just said and shamelessly said to Yin Lan.
Yin Lan: "......"
"Would you like to stay and eat?" she asked.
Cough cough...
Of course he wanted to, he would have let the child say those things if he didn't want to. But with Yin Lan staring at him like that, and after he said those resolute words yesterday, all the other children around were looking at him.
The words that were on the tip of my tongue suddenly wouldn't come out.
"Um... I still have... some cornbread in my room..." It was given to me by Uncle Lizheng yesterday, and the taste... was very... so-so.
"So, are you going back to eat?" Yin Lan asked.
She wanted to see what this man would say. How come she hadn't noticed him swallowing? He wanted to eat but was too proud to admit it.
Moreover, although the original owner did make many mistakes, those were not done by Yin Lan. She had been working diligently for so long and still got scolded. It's impossible for her not to be angry at all.
If he could just say he wanted to eat, Yin Lan wouldn't refuse. After all, he had indeed helped her, and Yin Lan had already observed that Chen Yourun was a very methodical and decisive person.
After he joined, both Zhao Dashan and Wa followed his instructions completely. Under his plan, everything proceeded smoothly and perfectly.
Chen Yourun looked at the woman who was half a head shorter than him; her words clearly indicated that she had no intention of keeping him.
The food smells amazing, but... I didn't get to enjoy it.
"Then... I'll head back now."
Stay, stay, keep him—that's the kind of expectation that arose in my heart.
He glanced at Yin Lan, his expression blank, then looked away at his sons. Da Wa and Er Wa were both staring intently at the bowls, and when Tian Youwei tried to steal one, they immediately slapped his hand to stop him.
They didn't notice his father's situation at all, and didn't care about him at all.
It's clear the child really wanted to eat, but managed to restrain himself and remain polite.
So, she actually raised her child very well.
Not all those things from the past were false; there might have been some misunderstandings.
She takes care of three children alone at home. Although he sends money back, she must be working very hard.
Chen Yourun suddenly felt a pang of unease.
Step by step, the pace was very slow.
Ha, so proud of himself. Since he won't speak up, Yin Lan is unlikely to take the initiative to keep him here.
Just as she turned her head, she suddenly saw out of the corner of her eye that the tall man's figure staggered, as if he was about to fall.
Yin Lan hurriedly looked over.
Chen Yourun almost fell, but luckily he managed to grab the wall and steady himself. However, he bent over, holding his right leg, his brows furrowed, as if he were enduring some great pain.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Yin Lan hurried over, bent down to look at the person, and asked anxiously.
The eldest child saw it too and immediately rushed over. The second child ran after his older brother. Although the man called "Dad" was a little scary at first glance, the second child felt quite friendly after looking at him for a while. Moreover, this "Dad" uncle was really capable in doing things today, so he felt a little closer to him and admired him more.
Chen Yourun looked up and said, "It's nothing."
But his forehead was covered in sweat, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Something's definitely wrong here.
Yin Lan was too lazy to ask any more questions, and simply pulled up his trouser leg.
Even though there were no other women present, Zhao Dashan, a man, was still taken aback by Yin Lan's uninhibited behavior.
Why...why did you just pull your pants down like that? We're outside, what if someone sees us...?
But the next second, all his thoughts vanished. His pupils contracted, and he rushed over, his voice anxious, "Chen Yourun, what happened to your leg? Why is there so much blood?"
Yin Lan's feelings shifted from panic and heaviness to...some anger.
Is this man insane?
He had a long, deep wound on his leg. It looked like he had been injured recently and the wound had only recently healed, but now it had reopened, oozing bright red blood, which was a shocking sight.
Chen Yourun pulled down his trouser leg. "It's okay."
This is nothing?
