When Shen Shumin and Lu Qizhou saw their son coming back, they looked past Lu Chen with excitement and looked behind him.
After looking back and forth several times, they didn't see Cheng Mingyue, and they immediately became angry.
"Ah Chen, where's Mingyue? How could you not bring her back with you?"
"That's right, Ah Chen, why didn't Mingyue come back with you?"
After Lu Chen explained to them why Cheng Mingyue didn't come back, Shen Shumin and Lu Qizhouxin brought it up again.
"What's going on? Mingyue has only been enrolled for a short time. How could that person have the nerve to challenge a freshman like her in medical skills? Isn't this bullying?"
After Shen Shumin finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the medical school to find Yang Lei to argue.
Lu Qizhou reached out and held her, but his eyes turned unfriendly when he looked at Lu Chen.
"How can you be a husband? Your wife was bullied, and you didn't go to help her. Why did you run back home?"
Lu Chen was disliked by his parents.
"Mingyue said she would handle her own affairs, so let's not make things more complicated.
I came back today to tell you that I will be going on a mission in a few days. If you have nothing to do during this time, please go to the small courtyard I bought and help me take care of Mingyue!"
Shen Shumin's thoughts were finally pulled back, and she asked: "Going on a mission? How long will it take?"
"I'm not sure how long it will take yet, just help me take good care of Mingyue." Lu Chen added, "Call my parents-in-law when you have time..."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he left without even entering the house.
Shen Shumin and Lu Qizhou were so angry that they wanted to chase after him and punch Lu Chen.
After coming back, they talked for a long time, and either asked him to take care of his wife or his father-in-law's family, but the couple didn't mention it at all.
The village chief's family, who were being talked about, all had happy faces at this moment.
"Hongying, are you really pregnant?!"
Wang Guihua helped Zhang Hongying sit on the stool and asked again and again in disbelief.
"Mom, Hongying and I just went to Uncle Qi's and took his pulse. It's absolutely true that you're going to be a grandmother again."
Cheng Xiangdong rubbed his hands, and the smile on his face never faded.
It has been eight years, and he is finally going to be a father again. Moreover, Cheng Tianlai took his pulse just now and said that this baby is most likely a girl. This way, he will have both a son and a daughter, making a perfect couple.
When the Cheng family heard the good news, they were so happy that they immediately decided not to let Zhang Hongying go to work anymore and just let her help with cooking at home.
"Mom, how can that be possible? I'm only a month pregnant now, and it won't affect my work in the fields, so don't worry!"
Zhang Hongying blushed with embarrassment.
The situation at home had just gotten a little better, and she said she had to go to the fields to work and earn work points, and she couldn't just be a parasite and feel at ease.
Wang Guihua glared: "Why not! Didn't the eldest brother just say that this baby of yours is very likely to be a girl? She is the treasure of our Cheng family. What will happen if something goes wrong?
Besides, you haven't been pregnant for a long time, and now you're pregnant again, so you have to take good care of her no matter what."
Zhang Lan also followed suit, saying, "Sister-in-law, just listen to mother and stay home to take care of your baby. We can handle the farm work."
When the village chief heard the good news when he returned home, he was so happy that he immediately asked Cheng Xiangdong to go to the town to buy some meat the next morning and make some delicious food for Zhang Hongying.
When it comes to cutting flesh, Cheng Xiangdong feels a little confused.
"Dad, Mom, this is really strange. When Yue'er was home, we never lacked meat. It was always rabbit, pheasant, or fish. How come we haven't had a single bite of meat in this long time?!"
After hearing what Cheng Xiangdong said, the village chief and his family finally came to their senses.
You know what, it’s true.
Their family hasn't eaten meat for almost a month. I didn't notice it before, but now that I think about it, it's true.
The village chief thought for a moment and then scolded him: "Don't be so careless when you go out. If you want to eat meat, just ride your bike to the town to buy it. What does it have to do with your little sister?"
Cheng Xiangdong suddenly became as quiet as a chicken and didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, not only the village chief's family was discussing this matter, but others were also discussing it.
"That's really strange. There used to be a lot of fish in the Baiyang River. You could definitely catch one if you went fishing. But recently I went to the river and didn't see a single fish."
"Me too. When I went to the mountains before, the pheasants and rabbits would sometimes bump into my legs like that.
"I've been wandering around the mountains since I got off work lately, and I haven't seen a single hair. Isn't that weird?"
At first, only a few people said this, but gradually, more and more people in the village talked about it. The villagers warned them several times but to no avail, so they just ignored it.
But the discussion gradually spread to the town, and the authorities actually sent people to the village to investigate.
At first, everyone told the investigators everything, but someone suddenly brought up the fact that Li Da Laba had said that Cheng Mingyue was a "lucky star."
Now things suddenly became out of control.
"Is it really because our lucky star is gone that we can no longer eat meat?"
"I think that might be the case. Judging from the time, it happened during this period of time!"
The village chief and his family were so angry that their eyes turned red.
Wang Guihua cursed directly: "What are you talking about? What does it have to do with my Yue'er? It's not spring yet, maybe the animals are still hibernating..."
Zhang Lan and Zhang Hongying immediately chimed in, "My mother is right. In the past, during winter, we couldn't even find a single rabbit in the mountains or fields. Why didn't you just talk nonsense back then?"
Some people thought it made sense and stopped talking.
The secretary's wife yelled, "Leader, I think everyone's guess is correct. The village chief's daughter used to be a fat girl weighing over 200 pounds. Who would have thought that she would suddenly become a beautiful woman, and she also became smart and even became the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
I think something might have changed, you guys should check it out!"
"Bullshit, your mother's bullshit, there is a labor camp prisoner in your family, do you feel guilty about saying this?
Leader, look at how I look. I’m over fifty, not bad, right? My daughter Yue’er looks exactly like me. She was just fat before. Won’t she become prettier as she loses weight?
"There are still people who are talking about her being the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Don't you think about the fact that my son-in-law, Lu Chen, was also the top scorer in the college entrance examination? He used to teach my daughter at home. It's no wonder that my daughter did so well in the exam!"
Wang Guihua was afraid that these investigators would really believe the nonsense of the branch secretary's wife and report the matter, which would not be good for his Mingyue.
"Is this true?" Several investigators looked around and asked all the villagers present.
