Lu Jueyu untied the bamboo basket and said, "I just harvested some vegetables from our garden and wanted you to try."
Li Chenmo glanced at the bamboo basket and his eyes lit up. This is his favorite lettuce. He thought he would never taste it again. Unexpectedly, his wife planted it herself.
Because he planned to eat lettuce wraps for lunch today, Lu Jueyu grilled some pork belly, sausage, and beef. She cut it into smaller pieces so they would eat it easier. Besides that, she prepares corn soup and steamed rice.
Since the last quarrel between Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo, the villagers no longer dare to poke their noses in their affairs. Not because they’re afraid of her, but because they can’t take responsibility if she faints from rage.
After all, everyone knew that she was born frail and sickly, and they also knew how much the Lu family loved her. If something happens to her because of them, the Lu family will fight them to the death.
Not to mention others, Wang Muxiao alone is already difficult to deal with. She is known for being unreasonable and petty. She will hold grudges for a long time and is willing to go to great lengths to torture those who offended her.
So even if Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo’s lunch was luxurious, no one knows about it. They only saw Li Chenmo eating raw vegetables, not even a whole-grain steamed bun. While the two were enjoying lunch, the villagers were talking about them while eating.
A young girl looked at them with jealousy and said sourly, "If it were me, I wouldn’t let my husband eat only raw vegetables. After a busy day, she didn’t even give him a whole-grain steamed bun."
The other girl nodded and said, "I don’t know what’s good about her that Brother Li dotes on her so much. She is too lazy to even cook. Compared with her, we are several times better than her."
Hearing their words, a widow licked her lips as she looked at Li Chenmo, and said ambiguously, "Maybe she is good in bed. Man ah, as long as he is satisfied in bed, he won’t care so much about other things."
The unmarried girl’s faces turned red when they heard the widow’s words, but they couldn’t help but look at Li Chenmo’s figure and think, it must be very comfortable to be held by him, right?
While the women were fantasizing about Li Chenmo, the men sneered, and one of them said, "No matter how good a woman is in bed, if she looks like you, he won’t be able to get excited."
The widow was angered by his words and asked, "Hey, what do you mean? Do you mean I’m ugly?"
After hearing what she said, the man laughed and said, "How dare a cheap woman like you have a face to act so arrogantly. It’s really ridiculous!"
After hearing his words, everyone’s eyes changed when they looked at the widow. There must be a reason why he called her a cheap woman. The women looked at her unkindly, while the men looked at her knowingly.
Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu didn’t know that they had caused a quarrel among the villagers, so they finished their lunch leisurely. After lunch, Li Chenmo closed his eyes and took a nap, while Lu Jueyu sat next to him, looking at the vast farmland.
Looking at the farmland, Lu Jueyu recalled that in 1974, Huaxia experienced widespread civil unrest, known as the Second Cultural Revolution. It was not until August 1977 that the Cultural Revolution officially ended. But in fact, it was all over with the death of the leader and the purge of the Gang of Four in the fall of 1976.
Since then, nearly 3 million party members and countless wrongfully purged citizens have been reinstated. The college entrance examination will be reopened only after recovery.
Thinking of this, she remembered that she hadn’t seen the ’wicked people’ for a long time. Although she was sure that her sister-in-law Chen Anwen would occasionally send them meals, she still wanted to see them. While her intention is to help them, part of it is to make connections.
