Lu Chen said calmly, "Mingyue, there are some family matters that you really can't get involved in too much. I gave her a few pointers and she left."
Cheng Mingyue was very curious: "How did you give her this advice?!"
She had seen Carpenter Li talking to a woman, but she had never mentioned it to Lu Chen. How did he know?
"I can tell from your expression. What's with the first and second time? Isn't that telling Carpenter Li Da Laba that he's having second thoughts again? Isn't that that hard to guess?"
When Cheng Mingyue met Lu Chen's ink-black eyes, she was suddenly speechless.
It turns out that there are barriers between people.
Cheng Mingyue recounted what happened that day and then asked:
"Lu Chen, who do you think the woman talking to Carpenter Li is?!"
Lu Chen uttered three words lightly: "Widow Wang!"
"You said it was Widow Wang!" Cheng Mingyue exclaimed, and looked at Lu Chen with some suspicion: "You didn't see it, how can you be so sure?"
"Everyone knows what kind of reputation Carpenter Li has in our village, and even in the surrounding villages!
The person who could talk to him must be someone he knows, and she was hiding there and talking to him behind his back. And she was a woman. Who else could it be other than Widow Wang?
"Your analysis is correct! That person must be Widow Wang! So when you said Carpenter Li wanted to divorce Li Da Laba, did that mean you really wanted to be with Widow Wang?"
Cheng Mingyue couldn't understand it now.
No matter how bad Li Da Laba was, he had always been devoted to their family, while Widow Wang had affairs with several men in the village.
Even if Carpenter Li really divorced Li Da Laba, he would not really marry Widow Wang.
Seeing Cheng Mingyue's brows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape, Lu Chen explained:
"It's very likely! Li Da Laba has been too strong, and he's almost suffocating Carpenter Li. Widow Wang is taking advantage of this. If she shows even a little weakness, she will easily defeat Carpenter Li."
Cheng Mingyue sneered.
After all, these men just like green tea!
He doesn't cherish those who are really good to him, but he rushes towards them like a fly seeing shit when others gossip about him.
How despicable!
When Cheng Mingyue thought of this, she glared at Lu Chen fiercely.
Lu Chen was bewildered by the stare.
It’s really hard to guess what a woman is thinking, especially Cheng Mingyue, who is more like a mystery.
Lu Chen didn't dare to make Cheng Mingyue angry again, so he went into the kitchen to clean up with the dishes in his hand.
Cheng Mingyue followed him into the kitchen, packed the beggar's chicken and took it to Cheng Tianlai's house.
When Cheng Mingyue went there, Cheng Tianlai was eating steamed bread with a glass of cold water next to him.
"Master, you only eat steamed bread and drink cold water?!"
Cheng Mingyue felt really distressed.
Ever since she came to study medicine with Cheng Tianlai, she has truly regarded him as her elder.
Cheng Tianlai put away the steamed bread awkwardly, "This is how we eat it today. I usually cook..."
But Cheng Mingyue just refused to believe it.
However, she did not continue the topic and handed over her lunch box:
"Master, this one is the beggar's chicken I made, and the other one is rice. Come and eat!"
Cheng Tianlai was not polite. He opened the lid, took a deep breath, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating quickly.
"Please go slower!" Cheng Mingyue pushed the water towards him, "Master, don't cook anymore from now on. Let's go to my house and have dinner together."
"No!" Cheng Tianlai refused without thinking.
Cheng Mingyue was puzzled: "Why? Lu Chen and I are having a really lonely dinner together. If you go, wouldn't it be great for us to have a lively dinner together?!"
No matter how much Cheng Mingyue talked, Cheng Tianlai still said the same thing: It's okay to go there for dinner occasionally, but if he was asked to stay at someone's house for a long time, he would really feel embarrassed.
Seeing that Cheng Tianlai refused to listen, Cheng Mingyue packed up her lunch box and left angrily.
When Cheng Mingyue returned to her parents' home, they had almost finished their meal.
Cheng Mingyue quickly handed over the lunch box, "Dad, Mom, this is the beggar's chicken I made for lunch, come and try it."
"Just keep it for yourself and Lu Chen, why bring it back?" The village chief said naturally, and then seemed to remember something and changed the subject:
"Mingyue, I heard that Lu Chen's leg is almost healed. Is this true?"
Cheng Mingyue replied without even looking up while picking up some chicken for her nephews:
"It's true. It should be ready in about half a month."
Cheng Mingyue added quickly after she finished speaking: "But I can't do any heavy work in the near future!"
Wang Guihua continued, "That's for sure. They say it takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. Lu Chen's previous injuries were serious enough. It would be a great blessing for him to be able to fully recover. Just ask your father to arrange some light work for him in the future. Don't worry about that."
Zhang Lan, gnawing on a chicken bone, quickly responded:
"Dad, why don't you let Lu Chen go and collect grass for the pigs?
This is the easiest job in our village, even our little dragon and little tiger can do it."
This is true.
Children in rural areas become independent early. Children aged five or six in the village will carry small backpacks to the mountains to pick grass for pigs and collect firewood. There is no problem at all for Lu Chen to do this.
Besides, Lu Chen has recovered.
Cheng Mingyue agreed without thinking:
"Second sister-in-law, you're right. Let him go to pick pig grass when the time comes. Xiaolong, Xiaohu, if you have nothing to do, go with Lu Chen. Got it?"
The two little ones' lips were greasy from eating. When they heard their aunt's words, they quickly stood up and saluted:
