They went to Xiangyang Town and waited for a long time, but Cheng Xiangdong still hadn't arrived.
Lu Chen let Liu Qiang and Liu Yun, uncle and nephew, go first, while he and Cheng Mingyue sat on a big rock at the entrance of the town waiting for people.
Cheng Mingyue's right eyelid twitched, and she felt a little uneasy:
"Brother has always been very reliable. Since we've told him to pick us up, he must come. He hasn't come after waiting for so long. Did something happen at home?"
Lu Chen was also a little confused. He patted Cheng Mingyue on the shoulder and comforted her:
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Maybe they were just delayed on the way. Let's just wait a little longer."
Cheng Mingyue touched her rumbling stomach and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she took out two apples from her space, handed one to Lu Chen, and took the other and started to eat it, mumbling:
"You should also eat an apple to fill your stomach."
If they had known they would have to wait here for so long, they should have had breakfast before coming back.
Lu Chen took the apple, looked up at Cheng Mingyue who was eating happily, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
It seems that no matter what kind of environment she is in, Mingyue can always face it positively and optimistically. She is really like a little sun, always so fresh and bright.
Cheng Mingyue was a little confused by Lu Chen's gaze and asked doubtfully:
"Why not? Don't you like it? How about an orange?"
"I like to eat it. As long as it's given to me, I like to eat it." Lu Chen smiled gently.
Cheng Mingyueya was jealous again. She didn't know what was wrong with her. It seemed that she was really allergic to romance. The sweet words that others liked to hear were awkward to her.
Cheng Mingyue shook her shoulders and sat a little further away from Lu Chen, "Eat yours!"
Lu Chen: “…”
What's going on? Why doesn't his Mingyue buy into this? The booklet that "Skinny Monkey" gave him clearly said that girls love sweet talk the most!
Just when Lu Chen was puzzled, Cheng Xiangdong finally arrived, riding a bicycle.
Cheng Xiangdong parked his bicycle and walked quickly to Cheng Mingyue:
"Yue'er, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Cheng Mingyue carefully observed Cheng Xiangdong's expression and saw that although he was talking to her, his mind was not here at all. He always felt flustered.
"Brother, what's going on? Did something happen at home?"
Cheng Xiangdong avoided Cheng Mingyue's gaze and said unnaturally:
"Nothing, Dad said that there will be a market in Lotus Village tomorrow, so he asked you to stay at your sister-in-law's house for one night so that you can join in the fun tomorrow."
"You're so funny! You're trying to fool me with something you'd use to fool a three-year-old. Do you really think your sister is a fool?"
Cheng Mingyue's eyebrows were almost twisted into a line after she finished speaking:
"Brother, if there's something going on, let's just talk about it. If there's any problem, let's discuss and solve it together. Don't use this old trick of hiding it from me for my own good."
Lu Chen gently tugged at Cheng Mingyue's clothes and chimed in:
"Brother, Mingyue is right. If there is anything, we should face it together. It's always good to have two of us to find a solution!"
Cheng Xiangdong squatted on the ground, covering his face with his hands, and it took him a long time to explain what had happened.
It turned out that Cheng Mingyue's third uncle who worked in the county and his family had returned, and as soon as they came back, they started to pick on her, saying that the old house she was living in was built by her grandfather and should belong to them.
Cheng Mingyue was confused. She then remembered that the original owner had a third uncle. This person who had a very low presence in the book became the final winner.
In the book, the village chief's family suffered casualties, and in the end, her house and land were all occupied by her third uncle.
Not only that, he not only sent his two injured sisters-in-law back home, but also put a lot of blame on them, making their reputation completely ruined in the surrounding villages.
Originally, the families of the eldest and second sister-in-law loved their daughters very much. Even if their husbands and sons had died, as long as their family members helped them more, they could definitely still live a decent life, and they would definitely not end up committing suicide by jumping into the river.
She hadn't even thought of this exceptional family, but she didn't expect them to pop up first.
very good!
When Lu Chen heard what Cheng Xiangdong said, his eyes became sharper. That house contained the best memories of him and Mingyue, and it must not fall into the hands of others.
Moreover, from the expressions of Cheng Mingyue and his sister, he could guess that they had a bad relationship with their third uncle, so he would have no burden in dealing with them.
Lu Chen winked at Cheng Mingyue, then said to Cheng Xiangdong:
"Brother, don't worry for now, everything will have to wait until we get back.
You came here on a bicycle, and there's not enough space for the three of us. So, I have a friend who happens to be in town. Can you help me get him to ride his bicycle over and take us back first?"
Cheng Xiangdong wanted to say something else, but Cheng Mingyue urged him angrily:
"Brother, if Lu Chen asks you to go, then just go quickly. We should go back as soon as possible.
You don't know what kind of people Third Uncle and his family are. If you go back too late, our parents might get so angry that they become sick!"
When Cheng Xiangdong thought of his mother fainting from anger before, he immediately forgot everything and pedaled his bicycle towards the place Lu Chen mentioned.
After Cheng Xiangdong walked away, Cheng Mingyue lowered her eyes and looked at Lu Chen:
"Tell me, what good idea have you come up with?!"
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Buddha said it cannot be said. It cannot be said. Anyway, you will know when the time comes. I will definitely make sure that family will suffer the consequences."
Cheng Mingyue did not ask any further questions, but only added:
"You can be as cruel as you want, as long as you don't die!"
At first, Lu Chen was afraid that his methods were too cruel and Mingyue would be angry when she heard it, but he didn't expect her to say such words.
Lu Chen was stunned for a second, and then his heart was filled with sweetness.
His bright moon!
His bright moon is not a delicate flower, but a rose with thorns!
He likes it so much!
Perhaps it was because Lu Chen's gaze was too intense, Cheng Mingyue glared at him unbearably:
"Be more restrained. We're outside. It would be embarrassing if someone saw us."
Not only did Lu Chen not restrain himself, he also secretly hooked Cheng Mingyue's little finger and even scratched her palm. It was so light and soft that Cheng Mingyue's heart was tickled by him and she wished she could turn into a wolf and kill him on the spot.
Just when the two were flirting with each other, Cheng Xiangdong came with Liu Yun and Shouhou.
The moment Lu Chen saw the skinny monkey coming, his eyes lit up and he nodded slightly at him with some approval.
Cheng Mingyue knew that Lu Chen had something to say to Liu Yun and the others, so she quickly pulled Cheng Xiangdong's sleeve:
"Brother, please take me back first!"
Cheng Xiangdong looked at Lu Chen hesitantly, only to hear Lu Chen say:
"Brother, you and Mingyue go first. My leg is still injured, so I have to walk slowly."
