After lunch, the two of them rested for a while and then it was time to go back to work.
When leaving, Lu Chen suddenly said: "No matter what happens this afternoon, don't worry."
"What could happen?" Cheng Mingyue asked in confusion.
Lu Chen kept it a secret and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
Cheng Mingyue was not the type to get to the bottom of things, so when she saw that he didn't say anything, she didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, according to Lu Chen, we will know in the afternoon, it’s just a matter of time.
Cheng Mingyue waved to Lu Chen and went to the village office.
In the afternoon, Cheng Mingyue was either reading or writing manuscripts, and she would just record the work points when she got off work.
When work was almost over, a villager ran to the village office in a panic and shouted to Cheng Mingyue: "Fei Ya, your Lu Chen's leg is broken and he's bleeding a lot. Go and take a look."
Cheng Mingyue's heart inexplicably tightened. She stood up suddenly and knocked the stool to the ground. She ran out the door without even looking at it. Halfway through the run, Cheng Mingyue remembered what Lu Chen said at noon. Her heart gradually calmed down, but her steps did not stop at all.
When Cheng Mingyue arrived at the field, she heard from other people in the village that Lu Chen had been sent home by Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan.
Cheng Mingyue ran home again.
After arriving home, they saw a lot of people gathered at the gate. Cheng Mingyue pushed through the crowd and walked into the yard. After closing the gate, she found that all the people in her family were gathered around Lu Chen.
Apart from a few muffled groans, Lu Chen was still trying to comfort the village chief and the others: "Dad, Mom, my leg is really fine, don't worry."
Wang Guihua's eyes were red. "Silly child, how can you say you're okay after losing so much blood? Why don't you let Xiangdong and the others take you to the town hospital? We still have to spend the money we need to spend."
The village chief also followed suit with a worried look on his face, saying, "Lu Zhiqing, your mother is right. Your leg injury is no small matter. You should go to a large hospital for a thorough checkup. Don't let a minor injury turn into a major one. That would be unprofitable."
Lu Chen was deeply touched. Since his grandparents passed away, no one except his grandpa and uncle had cared about him so much. His eyes became moist for a moment.
Just at this time, Cheng Mingyue came back. When she came closer, he lowered his head guiltily.
Cheng Mingyue first lifted up Lu Chen's trouser legs to take a look. Seeing that he was indeed not injured, she looked up at the village chief and said, "Dad and Mom, don't worry. He is not injured at all."
"How could he not be injured? I clearly saw him bleeding a lot." Cheng Xiangnan glared at his sister.
This is just lying with open eyes. Even if you don't want to make them worry, you can't tell such an obvious lie.
Cheng Xiangdong thought the same thing. "Yue'er, you should send Lu Zhiqing to the hospital. Don't be as stubborn as him!"
Cheng Mingyue sighed, took a basin of water, wet a towel, and wiped Lu Chen's legs. After wiping it clean, everyone found that Lu Chen had no other injuries except some redness and swelling on his legs and some healed scars.
The village chief frowned even more tightly, "What kind of evil are you guys doing?!"
"That's right, Mingyue, what are you up to? Don't you know how worried we were just now?" Wang Guihua was so angry that she wanted to hit someone again.
Even the brothers Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan stared at Lu Chen and Cheng Mingyue, as if they would be in trouble if they didn't give a reasonable explanation today.
After Cheng Mingyue asked them to sit down first, she pursed her lips at Lu Chen and said, "You caused this trouble yourself, so you have to explain it to them yourself."
Seeing Cheng Mingyue give up, Lu Chen gave her a helpless look and quickly explained, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Seven agreed to treat my leg the day before yesterday, but my leg can't just be healed quietly like this. I just needed an opportunity, so I thought I'd just pretend to do it. I'll wait for Uncle Seven to fix my bones tonight, and then I'll go to the county with Mingyue tomorrow. We'll come back when my leg is almost healed."
"Your seventh uncle's medical skills are indeed good, but is he really sure that he can cure your leg?" the villager asked doubtfully.
Cheng Mingyue cut off the beginning and the end of what Cheng Tianlai had said earlier: "Seventh Uncle said that there is no problem at all after the bones are reconnected. The rest is just recuperation. With more recuperation, he will definitely be back to normal."
When the village chief and the others heard that Cheng Tianlai could completely cure Lu Chen's injuries, they no longer had any trace of their previous anger. They wanted to applaud Lu Chen for his good acting.
The village chief gave a few more instructions and took the two brothers Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan home, leaving Wang Guihua to help Cheng Mingyue cook.
The village chief walked out of the house, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He winked at his two sons, and all three of them put on a sad look. He opened the gate and said to the villagers who were still standing by the door and peeking in:
"Everyone should go away, hey..."
When everyone saw the expressions of the village chief, his father and his two sons, they guessed something and sighed.
Although the village chief's son-in-law is an educated youth, he not only has a lame leg, but I heard that his parents are still abroad. In this day and age, it's a disaster to have anything to do with foreign countries. Now he fell even harder and his leg might be completely disabled. He is really unlucky.
Everyone patted the shoulders of the three village chiefs, said a few words of comfort, and then dispersed.
Seeing that her mother stayed to help with cooking, Cheng Mingyue made an excuse to go to the kitchen and secretly put the ingredients into the cupboard.
When Wang Guihua opened the cupboard while cooking, she saw a cooked chicken in a basin. She paused and asked, "Yue'er, do you want to eat chicken tonight?"
"Yes, mother, you also know that Uncle Seventh is very picky. He will only be willing to treat Lu Chen's leg if I make something delicious."
Wang Guihua thought of the rumors in the village and stopped talking.
She knew how stubborn Cheng Tianlai was. Mingyue's father had wanted to hire him as a village doctor several times before, but he had refused.
Some people also knew that he had a big appetite, and no matter how many delicious foods were given to him, he would throw them away.
It was rare for him to agree now. As long as Lu Zhiqing's leg could be cured, they would find a way to get him not only a chicken but also dragon meat from the sky.
Although Wang Guihua is not proficient in cooking, at least she has some basic skills. Under Cheng Mingyue's guidance, she cooked several dishes quite well. When she tasted them, she couldn't believe that she had cooked them.
As soon as the meal was ready, Cheng Tianlai arrived on time.
He looked at the big plate of chicken in the middle, sniffed, and his mouth was almost watering.
"Is this gourd chicken?" Cheng Tianlai's eyes were almost glued to it and he couldn't pull them away.
This dish requires a lot of effort to prepare. He had eaten it several times before. He didn't expect that Mingyue could actually cook this dish. It was a pleasant surprise.
Cheng Mingyue smiled and nodded. "Yes, authentic gourd chicken. I remember clearly what I promised you before. After you fix my Lu Chen's bones, you can come to my house for dinner anytime. As long as conditions permit, I will definitely cook many delicious dishes to thank you."
