That night, He Guisheng helped Lu Ziyuan's family build a house until sunset before He Chunmei took him back to Lu Donglin's house. They all had dinner together before He Guisheng returned to Henan Village.
Before going to bed, Lu Ziyuan told He Chunmei about the fifteen cents spent on chartering a car back to He Gao. She did not mean to cause trouble for He Chunmei, but just wanted to remind He Chunmei what kind of person He Gao was. Don't worry about it again then.
It's because of a few words that your heart softens.
Early the next morning, He Guisheng came to help again. He Guisheng said that if he worked a few more days, he could help Lu Ziyuan's family save a day's wages for a worker. He said that building a house would only cost money, and he would save money if he could.
There is nothing to do during this slack time.
Lu Ziyuan admired this uncle in her heart. With such a wife and mother, he could still retain his simple temperament, which was very rare.
In the past few days, Lu Jinbao and Lu Shengcai would go to her old house from time to time to drink a bowl of mung bean soup. After drinking, they would pass by the second uncle's house in a very grand and loud manner, which made Lu Banxia and Lu He talk about it.
despise.
In the afternoon when the sun was shining brightly, Lu Ziyuan went into her room as usual and played with the mint and honeysuckle that she looked at again and again. She held her head and worried about whether the honeysuckle was worth anything. She thought about the mint roots by the river, so she came out of the room to prepare.
Go to the river and get the mint into the space.
"Sister, where are you going? Are you going to the old house?" Lu Banxia and Lu He saw Lu Ziyuan about to go out and hurriedly followed her. The two of them were almost becoming Lu Ziwan's tail now.
"Go to the river, don't you want to write?" Lu Ziyuan said with a smile, "Are you tired of writing? You don't want to write after three minutes of heat? Do you want to play with me?"
"That's not true." Lu Banxia jumped up and walked to Lu Ziyuan's side, directly leading Lu Ziyuan. "We are tired from writing and need to take a rest."
"Yes, I need to take a rest." Lu He nodded.
"If you're not afraid of the heat, come with me." Lu Ziyuan shook her head helplessly. These two tough-tongued guys obviously found it boring after two days of writing.
"I'm not afraid." Lu Banxia and Lu He led Lu Ziyuan out of the yard.
The three of them walked towards the river under the scorching sun. They took a shortcut, so they had to pass near the uncle's house. From a distance, they heard everyone talking about the uncle's house. It seemed that someone was going to the big house to propose marriage.
Lu Ziyuan was not at all curious. Lu Fangfang was the only one who could discuss marriage when they arrived at the main house. The two brothers were still young, so it was early enough to discuss marriage. So she prepared to take the two younger ones to go far away.
I thought about it but was stopped by the villagers who were discussing.
"Hey, Sister Wan of the Dongming family, aren't you going to join in the fun? I heard that the person proposing marriage is the Chen family of Henan Village." The mother-in-law who grabbed Lu Ziwan spoke with a hint of gloating and teasing, "I just want to withdraw from you.
It’s the Chen family that I kissed.”
"Since you have broken off the engagement with me, what does it have to do with me?" Lu Ziyuan's face turned cold, she shook off her mother-in-law's hand and prepared to leave.
"Why doesn't it matter? In all my life, my old lady has never seen anyone who would give up the third house to the big house to propose marriage. People in the village in Henan are spreading the rumor that it was your eldest aunt who went to the Chen family to marry you and the Chen family.
My marriage has been messed up. Aren't you angry that Sister Fang can handle such a good marriage?" The mother-in-law followed unyieldingly and shouted.
