Lu Chen's parents went abroad when he was ten years old. At that time, his parents would send back a large sum of money every month, and his uncle's family was quite considerate to him.
But since the day the Red Guards rushed into his house, everything changed.
My uncle's family published an announcement in the newspaper to cut off ties with him, and his leg was broken at that time, but they refused to even treat his injury and watched him being ruthlessly thrown onto a train to the countryside without doing anything.
He had already witnessed the coldness of human nature at that time, and from then on he had secretly made up his mind to never be soft-hearted when dealing with people.
When Cheng Mingyue saw Lu Chen eating with his head down, her heart softened. She remembered the ending of Lu Chen in the book.
In the book, Lu Chen wrote a letter to his parents' friends, hoping that they could contact his parents who were far away overseas, but for some reason, the letter ended up in the hands of his aunt.
His aunt didn't care about family affection at all and reported him. A few days later, people from higher-ups sent Lu Chen to a coal mine in the northwest to dig coal.
Not long after, the coal mine collapsed unexpectedly, and because of his disabled legs and feet, he was completely buried alive.
After the reform and opening up, his parents returned to China and found out that their son had died a long time ago. They were heartbroken and their health was deteriorating.
Lu Chen's cousin, the heroine of the book - Lu Yao, has always taken good care of Lu Chen's parents. They were eventually moved by the heroine's filial piety and automatically transferred all the property they had earned abroad over the years to the heroine's name.
After getting all the property, the heroine no longer had the considerate and gentle look she had before, and she ignored the old couple. They were angered to death by the heroine.
With these properties, the heroine and the hero become more powerful and eventually become the richest man in China.
If Cheng Mingyue is the male protagonist's "blood bag", then Lu Chen is the female protagonist's "blood bag". The two of them are definitely big enemies, and their purpose is to provide equipment to the male and female protagonists.
Since she was about to marry Lu Chen, even though they were just partners, she felt it was necessary to remind Lu Chen not to write any more random letters.
The village chief's wife reached out and patted Cheng Mingyue's arm, looking at her with some concern, "Yue'er, why are you daydreaming when you're not eating?!"
Upon hearing this, the village chief and Lu Chen also looked up at Cheng Mingyue.
They are now a little afraid that Cheng Mingyue will cause trouble again. As long as they don't get the marriage certificate, they will be worried.
Cheng Mingyue knew what they were thinking as soon as she saw their expressions. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Dad and Mom, don't worry. I was just thinking about when we'll have the wedding banquet after we get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"
The village chief and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.
"The team happens to be on holiday these two days, so we can take advantage of this time to arrange your wedding."
The village chief glanced at Cheng Mingyue again and said cautiously, "Yue'er, you're getting married tomorrow, so you should change your temper. If your two sisters-in-law come back this time, don't make a scene again, okay?"
Cheng Mingyue then remembered that she had been here for quite some time but had not seen her two brothers, sister-in-law, and little nephew.
It turned out that her two sisters-in-law were so angry that they went back to their parents' home, and her two brothers took their children to chase her.
Cheng Mingyue suddenly felt guilty. She glanced at Lu Chen sheepishly and said with a wry smile, "Mom and Dad, I was ignorant before. When my sister-in-law and the others come home, I will serve them tea and apologize. I will never act like a demon again."
The village head and his wife got her promise, but they didn't know whether they believed it or not. Anyway, they didn't say anything else.
After this little episode, everyone started to immerse themselves in the food again.
The village chief's wife couldn't help but admire him, "Yue'er, I didn't expect you to be so talented at cooking. I've been cooking all my life, but my food is barely edible. You're much better than me."
Even the village chief was full of praise, and Lu Chen nodded, which was rare.
All in all, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, Lu Chen said goodbye to the village head and his wife and was about to return to the educated youth site.
Cheng Mingyue sent him to the gate and said, "Lu Chen, I'll pick you up at the educated youth camp tomorrow morning. We'll go to the brigade headquarters together to ask my father for a marriage certificate."
Lu Chen wanted to say that he was here to pick up Cheng Mingyue, but he looked down at his left leg and said nothing more. He just nodded dully and walked towards the educated youth site with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Cheng Mingyue turned around, closed the gate, and went back to the kitchen to help her mother clean up the dishes.
The village head's wife was already beaming when she saw Cheng Mingyue helping so obediently, thinking to herself, "Her Yue'er has completely grown up and become sensible!"
After helping to clean up, Cheng Mingyue went back to her room.
She looked at the dirty clothes and smelly socks piled on the kang, and even the sheets and quilt covers had a moldy smell, which made her feel very disgusted.
Cheng Mingyue saw that there was a wardrobe in the room. She walked over and opened the wardrobe door, and the messy things inside fell out.
Cheng Mingyue felt as if something exploded in her brain.
"That's weird, how could it be so dirty!"
Cheng Mingyue couldn't help but smell the clothes she was wearing, which also had a musty smell.
She hadn't noticed just now and had just casually pulled off a piece of clothing to put on. Could this also be dirty and unwashed clothing? !
Cheng Mingyue actually guessed it right.
The original owner wore this piece of clothes today and that piece of clothes tomorrow. He never washed them and just stuffed them in the closet or threw them on the kang after wearing them.
In the past, her mother and sister-in-law would come in to help her clean the house, but she had a very bad temper and was always scolding this and that. She even falsely accused her two sisters-in-law of stealing her things. Even her mother was scolded by her many times.
As time went on, no one dared to enter her room, and her house became a complete garbage dump.
Cheng Mingyue retched several times and quickly carried all the sheets, quilt covers and dirty clothes to the yard.
"Yue'er, what are you doing?" The village chief's wife was a little confused about Cheng Mingyue's thoughts and asked curiously.
"Mom, come and help me. I need to wash all these clothes. I'm getting married and I can't be so sloppy anymore, otherwise Lu Chen will dislike me."
Cheng Mingyue was too embarrassed to say that she thought it was dirty, so she had to put all the blame on Lu Chen.
The village chief's wife did not suspect anything and quickly took the iron basin, filled it with water and helped Cheng Mingyue wash.
In the end, even the village chief was requisitioned to help them hang clothes.
The three of them worked for almost an hour before they finished washing all of Cheng Mingyue's dirty clothes.
The village head's wife held her waist and sighed, "Yue'er, what can I say about you..."
She just muttered once and didn't dare to say anything else. She held her waist and went back to the house.
Cheng Mingyue was also grimacing with tiredness.
But she didn't stop. She filled a basin with water and went back into the house with a rag and a broom.
She swept here and wiped there, and after more than half an hour, she finally cleaned the room.
