"Old Third, why is this guesthouse so expensive? Sixty-five cents a night! How outrageous!"
Old Mrs. Xu was heartbroken. It cost so much money for just one night. If she stayed for ten days, it would cost six dollars and fifty cents.
This money is too much to spend.
Normally, we eat and live in the yard at home, or pick things from the mountains, so there are few places to spend money.
It's only been a short time since I came out, and I've already spent so much money.
The money in her hand was like beads, one less every time she took one. The old lady felt very distressed when she saw that her money had been reduced a lot.
She couldn't help but complain to her sons, hoping that the third son could give her money to stay in a guesthouse.
"Oh, this... this is Captain Xu's mother, right? Hello, I'm Li Fengchun. I've brought my family here today to thank Captain Xu for saving my daughter's life. Captain Xu saved my daughter, and my husband and I are incredibly grateful. If it weren't for Captain Xu and his men's heroic efforts, we don't know if we would ever see our daughter again."
Li Fengchun saw Mrs. Xu and went up to her and started chatting with her enthusiastically.
This is a good opportunity.
Xu Lei and his wife are not easy to approach, but the old lady looks like a typical rural old lady.
"You are here to see our third son. Come and sit down." Old Mrs. Xu had no idea what was going on, but she still warmly invited the person to sit down.
"Mom, they have been here for some time. It's time to leave. Don't delay their work." Xu Lei said directly.
There is nothing much to say to their family.
This is his duty and the meaning of this military uniform. It is impossible for him to accept any additional gifts from the Li family.
When Mr. Li heard what Xu Lei said, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
"Hahaha, yes, we really should go. We have disturbed Captain Xu for a long time. Let's come and see Captain Xu next time."
"Sister, we'll be leaving first."
Li Jiaojiao didn't want to leave and looked straight at Xu Lei.
Xu Lei ignored her at all.
Father and Mother Li had no face to stay and tugged at their daughter, Li Jiaojiao, "Let's go back quickly. Don't make your grandfather angry later."
Father Li had to use the old man to scare his daughter, otherwise his daughter would be stubborn and no one could persuade her.
The old man is the only one in the family who can control his daughter's temper.
When Li Jiaojiao heard the word "Grandpa", she reluctantly followed him away.
He looked back every three steps, looking at the hospital bed with reluctance.
"Goodbye."
With a "bang", the door of the ward was closed.
The Li family was directly locked outside.
There is no need to be polite to someone like Li Jiaojiao.
"Old Third, what are you doing?"
"They are guests, how can you chase them away?" Old Mrs. Xu was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yuzhu's behavior.
Isn't this embarrassing for the third brother?
He came here specifically to see the third brother, how could I give him a cold shoulder?
The things on the table are all taken by others.
This is not the way to treat guests.
"Everyone is trying to steal my man, and I have to greet them with a smile. Am I sick?" Jiang Yuzhu ignored Mrs. Xu and sat down next to Xu Lei.
Xu Lei hurried to coax his wife, so as not to let her misunderstand.
"Wife, I swear, when I was saving people, I didn't care who they were. I didn't even look at them."
"Well, we can prove this. If we didn't mention it, we wouldn't know who that girl is." Lu Hongming agreed.
"Forget it, I have no reason to be angry with you, but if you dare to be presumptuous again next time, don't blame me for being rude."
No one likes to have their things being remembered by others.
What's more, he is your own man.
"Don't worry, my wife. I am yours alone and no one can take me away from you." Xu Lei expressed his loyalty immediately without caring about the presence of others.
"Humph, who wants to fight for you? I'm just angry that others are bullying me, Jiang Yuzhu."
"If you dare to disappoint me, I'll go straight back to my parents' home."
Jiang Yuzhu would never waste her feelings on a man who is not worthy.
If Xu Lei dared to do anything to let her down, she would not be reluctant to let him go.
Just pick up your luggage and go.
I am so beautiful, how could I lack a man?
We'll see who will regret it later.
What really made Jiang Yuzhu angry was that Li Jiaojiao didn't take her seriously at all and even tried to seduce her man in front of her.
How could Jiang Yuzhu let herself be bullied by a young girl?
"Ouch, hiss..."
"Wife, my wound hurts so much." Seeing that Jiang Yuzhu looked unhappy, Xu Lei began to use the strategy of inflicting pain on himself.
Jiang Yuzhu glanced at Xu Lei, "Where does it hurt?"
"It won't hurt if I hold your hand." Xu Lei held his wife's hand tightly, for fear that she would leave him.
"You two should stop it, there are so many people in the room." Old Mrs. Xu couldn't stand seeing her son and daughter-in-law being so affectionate.
Lu Hongming and Li Goudan were both trying to suppress their expressions. It turned out that Xu Lei was like this in front of his wife.
It is completely different from his previous iron-blooded appearance.
It is true that even heroes cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.
"Auntie, we're fine. Please sit down. We'll go check and get you some food. You must be hungry at this hour."
Lu Hongming looked at the time and it was already time for dinner.
Jiang Yuzhu thought about it and decided that she had to go with them. Otherwise, she couldn’t ask others to help her get food. She had to know where it was and get familiar with the place.
"I'll go with you. It's a good opportunity to get familiar with the road."
The two of them looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, then if you want to buy anything you'll know where to find it."
"Meili, you should come with us. Your sister-in-law will be busy taking care of your brother and won't have time to go buy food." The old lady pushed her daughter.
Xu Meili felt a little embarrassed. She secretly glanced at Lu Hongming and found that he had no expression. He pursed his lower lip tightly, but still followed Jiang Yuzhu.
As soon as Jiang Yuzhu followed Lu Hongming and the others away, the old lady came up to Xu Lei.
"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you so mysterious?" Xu Lei didn't like the old lady's sudden closeness.
There has never been any intimate behavior since he was a child. As far as he can remember, he has never been hugged.
"Third brother, Mom wants to ask you something."
"You say."
"That... the guy surnamed Lu, he has a good relationship with you, right?" Old Mrs. Xu could see that the third son had a good relationship with Lu Hongming.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Xu Lei looked at Old Mrs. Xu warily.
"Kid, what's with that expression on your face? I'm just asking." Old Mrs. Xu was not blind, so she could see the strangeness in her son's eyes.
"Mom, please don't do anything stupid. It's best not to say anything about this. We still have to get along. If he's interested, I don't object, but he hasn't said anything, and I don't want you to bother him."
Xu Lei seemed to understand the old lady's intention of bringing her younger sister here.
This was aimed at Lu Hongming.
Xu Lei didn't dare to think about it. It's not that he didn't care about his sister, but the Lu family was not an ordinary family.
They are not on the same path at all.
Even if Lu Hongming was willing to marry Meili, he couldn't help but worry about her because the gap between the two families was too big.
