After packing up, they hurried to Lu Ming's clinic.
"Second brother, you're awake. Are you okay?" Lu Jianjun, who was running in front, was very happy to find that Lu Jianhua had woken up.
"Third brother, don't get excited. Second brother just woke up and needs more rest. Why did you take so long? What did they do?" Lu Mingzhen stretched out his hand to stop Lu Jianjun.
"Oh, luckily we got there in time, otherwise the food and other things would have been hidden by them. We argued with them for a while.
We took the food we got and went to the house I rented. I don't dare live there anymore. You didn't see how crazy Mom was. I don't know how she became like this."
Lu Jianjun briefly explained what they were going to do.
"Hmph, Third Brother, you're still missing something. She looks at us with eyes that want to eat us. We have to listen to her and do hard labor for her to make her happy.
You didn't see the fourth brother leave, but I did. The look in her eyes was as if the fourth brother had killed her beloved child. I guess if it weren't for my sister-in-law's good skills, you might not have been able to leave at that time."
Seeing Lu Jianhua wake up, Xu Hongmei's worries were put down, and she couldn't help but reveal some of the scenes she had seen before.
Mother Lu's cruelty this time left them with lingering fears. They knew she was cruel to people she didn't like, but who knew she was the same to their own children.
"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. Just ignore them in the future. I'm hungry after working so hard for so long. An An has already cooked the meal. Third brother, come with me to get it and eat."
Seeing that they all looked unhappy, Lu Ming immediately changed the subject.
"No, no, Lao Si, just lend us some tools and we'll do it ourselves. There are so many of us here, and you guys are already carrying too much weight."
Lu Jianjun immediately raised his hand to refuse. Although the others did not say anything, there was disapproval in their eyes.
Lu Ming was still very happy in his heart, at least they were not ungrateful people.
"Don't refuse. Everything is already cooked and ready to eat. If you don't go, there's no way our family can finish all the food. Let's go."
Lu Ming didn't give him a chance to refute and just pulled him out.
Lu Jianjun glanced at the others, sighed, and followed them out.
"Old Four, this is really unnecessary. Why waste it? It's not easy for you either."
On the way, Lu Jianjun was still lecturing Lu Ming.
Lu Ming looked at his honest and simple-minded third brother and didn't know what to say. Fools have their own luck.
Helping him is a good thing for me, but I didn't expect that his smart and capable second brother is also willing to help him. I just don't know whether he is sincere or has other intentions.
"Third brother, do you have enough food? It's still several months until the next food distribution!"
"Don't worry, Lao Si, we have enough to eat. We'll be in hibernation soon, so we don't need to eat much. We can still hold on until then."
Lu Jianjun said this with a grin on his face, but it was unclear whether he was telling the truth or lying to Lu Ming.
"Third brother, have you thought about how you will cook together later? Will you cook for yourself, or will you and second brother eat together?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I want to eat by myself. There's not much food, and only if I eat my own food can I avoid conflicts."
Lu Ming didn't expect that he had thought of these things, and gave him a thumbs up.
"You're right to think so. We've already separated, so we're completely separated. If we get back together again, it won't last more than three days and we'll be in conflict again. I'll give you some kitchen supplies later, and you can divide them up among yourselves. If you don't have enough, we can still make do with a set."
Lu Ming didn't want them to come to him to borrow money, nor did he want to give them the illusion that he was living a good life and wouldn't lend them a hand.
Generously giving them a set of kitchen utensils they currently need will make them remember your kindness.
It is rare to find someone helping someone in need, but it is common to find someone kicking someone when they are down.
"Old Four, this is too much of a expense for you. Don't always think about us. It's just a little hardship now, but everything will be fine in the end."
"Third brother, don't refuse. These are nothing new, just some old ones. I bought them from the county town. Consider them your gift to celebrate your escape from suffering."
"Thank you, thank you. I was just wondering where to get these."
"Third brother, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can. Remember that."
Lu Ming told him seriously that he cherished his somewhat honest brother very much. The care from his brother that he had not felt in his previous life was made up for now. He just hoped that the two of them could continue to get along so well.
"I see. I'm not stupid. If I have any trouble, I will definitely seek help from someone capable."
"Hahaha, I'm glad to know. But Third Brother, I still want to remind you that you two families are living together now, so nothing will happen in the short term.
But as time goes on, especially during the hibernation period, when everyone is in the same yard, some conflicts are bound to arise. I am not saying these words to alienate the relationship between you.
This is telling you in advance what you will face later, so you can take precautions now to avoid making things awkward later."
Lu Ming took the opportunity to speak out what he was thinking.
He gave a good reminder. It depends on Lu Jianjun what to do next. Just make sure you have a clear conscience.
"Thank you for reminding me, Fourth Brother. I've thought about this issue, but I need to discuss the specifics with Second Brother. Don't worry, I know all this, so don't worry. I'm honest, but I'm not stupid!"
Lu Jianjun was very happy to hear Lu Ming's caring words. His younger brother had grown up and learned to care about others.
At the clinic, Li Ailan and a few children were helping Lu Ming clean and tidy up the yard.
Xu Hongmei took Lu Jianhua's hand with concern.
"Second brother, what do you think? Should we find another place to live by ourselves?"
"Not for now. We'll make plans later. Third Brother doesn't have much money and probably won't rent for long. We'll split it with them when the time comes. You have to control your mouth in the future. There are some things you can't say carelessly like before. Remember that."
Lu Jianhua thought for a while and said, and finally did not forget to remind his wife.
"I know. I'll change it."
"Don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life, don't worry."
…
"Old Four, are these all? Why are there so many?"
Lu Jianjun was stunned and pointed to the full basket in front of him, which contained food and a large pot of meat and vegetables, which smelled delicious.
"Third brother, stop talking so much and carry it away quickly! My sister-in-law and the others must be waiting anxiously."
Zhang Anan slapped Lu Ming and looked at Lu Jianjun with a smile.
"Third brother, don't worry, don't worry. Not every meal here is that good. We prepared so much to celebrate your help in bringing us a new home. Go ahead and eat. The kids and I won't be there. Please forgive us."
After Zhang Anan finished speaking, she pushed Lu Ming again, signaling them to leave quickly.
