Shen Shumin and Lu Qizhou ran out of the house and were about to walk towards the Baihe Brigade, but suddenly found that they had nothing in their hands.
It was their first time going to their in-laws' house, and they were going to apologize. How could they go there empty-handed? The two of them turned back and prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things.
After asking a few people, they finally found the supply and marketing cooperative, but unfortunately it was closed when they got there.
Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The supply and marketing cooperative is only open half a day. It is Chinese New Year, so the sales clerks all hurriedly closed the shop and went home to be with their families.
The two of them stood on the street in the cold wind, looking at each other, and Shen Shumin was almost crying.
"Shu Min, don't worry. I have a friend who happens to be here. Why don't we go to his house and see if we can borrow some things?"
Lu Qizhou now has no other choice but to pin his hopes on his good brother.
After asking around for a while, the two men finally arrived at their good brother's house.
Lu Qizhou pulled Shen Shumin aside and went up to knock on the door. After a while, someone opened the courtyard door.
"Are you... Qi Zhou? What brings you here?"
It turned out that Lu Qizhou's friend was Gu Wen'an, the son of the director of the town hospital. He looked at Lu Qizhou with surprise and excitedly held Lu Qizhou's hand tightly.
After Lu Qizhou and Shen Shumin were invited to the house, they exchanged pleasantries. Lu Qizhou then said a little embarrassedly: "Wen'an, I came here today to ask you for a favor."
Gu Wen'an smiled cheerfully and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. We're close friends. We were bunk beds together in college, like close buddies."
Seeing that Gu Wen'an didn't feel awkward at all even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, Lu Qizhou immediately told him about his difficulties.
"What's so difficult about this? I bought a lot of things for my parents when I came back this time, and they were worried about where to put them. You're just helping them out."
Gu Wen'an is well versed in the art of speaking, and his words make people feel relaxed and at ease.
Gu Wen'an went to the inner room to pick and choose, and soon came out carrying dozens of bags.
After taking it, Lu Qizhou thanked him repeatedly, then looked at Gu Wen'an and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gu Wen'an knew Lu Qizhou too well. He punched Lu Qizhou with his fist and scolded him with a smile: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. You are like a woman. It makes people angry."
Lu Qizhou smiled awkwardly and rubbed his fingers at him.
"How much do you want?" Gu Wen'an was even more direct.
"Ten thousand." Lu Qizhou was no longer polite.
Gu Wen'an lost his composure and angrily said, "What the hell, you want 10,000 yuan? What kind of status do your relatives have to ask for a 10,000 yuan betrothal gift?"
"It's not for my in-laws, it's for my daughter-in-law. I had some misunderstandings with her before, so this time I'm not just going to visit her parents, but also to apologize to her."
Facing his former good brother, Lu Qizhou stopped being hesitant and simply told him what had happened before.
Before Gu Wen'an could react, his father shouted, "You said your daughter-in-law's name is Cheng Mingyue? Cheng Mingyue from Baihe Brigade?"
"Yes, Uncle Gu knows her?"
"It's more than just acquaintance. Mingyue and I are friends regardless of age. Not to mention ten thousand yuan, even if you give me one hundred thousand or one million, it won't be a loss. You don't even know that you have found a treasure, and you even dare to make that girl angry. You..." Bastard!
Gu Wen'an's father is the director of the town hospital. At first, he just heard that Cheng Mingyue was a good doctor and wanted her to work in the hospital, but unfortunately she was rejected.
He was somewhat unwilling to give up, and after going there a few more times, he discovered that the girl was not only good at medicine, but also had excellent cooking skills. From then on, he would go to her house every few days.
After a few visits, the two became close friends regardless of age difference. They often discussed and exchanged medical skills with each other, and got along like good teachers and friends.
When she heard that Lu Qizhou actually believed someone else's one-sided words and questioned Cheng Mingyue's character, she was almost furious and pointed at Lu Qizhou and started to curse.
When Lu Qizhou and Shen Shumin heard this, they became even more curious about Cheng Mingyue. They didn't bother to talk to the Gu father and son anymore, and just picked up the money and ran away.
When the two men were halfway there, they ran into Lu Chen who came looking for them on a bicycle.
"Mom and Dad, where have you been? It took me so long to find you. Are you... going to Mingyue's house?"
Shen Shumin recounted what had just happened, her eyes lighting up surprisingly.
"Ah Chen, everyone says that Mingyue is an amazing girl. Your dad and I are so curious. Please tell us more about her."
Lu Chen hung all the things in Lu Qizhou and Shen Shumin's hands on the bicycle, and then pushed the bicycle to tell them everything about Cheng Mingyue.
He spoke with great emotion, and the two of them were fascinated by his words.
They now wished they could grow wings and fly directly to Cheng Mingyue's house, and even more so they wished they could travel back in time and give each of them a big fight.
How blind they were that they actually believed Ye Xue's lies and almost missed out on such a good daughter-in-law.
Thinking of Ye Xue, Shen Shumin remembered the incident when Lu Chen went to make a phone call.
"Ah Chen, what did you say to your grandpa on the phone?"
The corners of Lu Chen's mouth, which were originally raised, suddenly fell down, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Ye Xue volunteered to help send letters and things to Cheng Mingyue. She helped her several times, but Mingyue never received anything."
"Ye Xue must have confiscated it. How could she be so bold? Isn't she afraid of being exposed? She is playing with our family in the palm of her hand. How could she do this?"
Shen Shumin got furious again when she heard this. Ye Xue simply refreshed her cognition. How could a person be so shameless?
This is not just shameless, it is extremely hateful, and it makes people's hair stand on end when they hear it.
"Now that you know what kind of person she is, do you dare to match me up with her again in the future?"
Shen Shumin shook her head. She would never do anything stupid again even if she was beaten to death.
She now wanted to strangle Ye Xue to death, so how could she interfere in A Chen's marriage?
What's more, just by hearing about it, she is already extremely satisfied with Cheng Mingyue, and she also feels in her heart that only Cheng Mingyue is worthy of their Ah Chen.
Lu Chen glanced at Lu Qizhou again, and Lu Qizhou also shook his head. "I will firmly support all your decisions from now on, Chen, and will never hold you back again."
Shen Shumin also repeatedly assured.
The gap between the three people created by time has been completely eliminated at this moment.
Lu Chen also asked about their life abroad. When he heard that they decided to return home because Shen Shumin had a nightmare, alarm bells rang in his heart.
"Mom, are you saying you dreamed I was buried alive in a coal mine?"
