70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

Si Zhengyan's spine has been mostly repaired, and his tactile nerves have become more sensitive.

The smooth and delicate fingers touching his face were like an electric current, causing his whole body to tremble.

His heart was beating wildly.

Lu Chaoyan regarded him as a substitute for Si Zhengyang.

I definitely don't like him.

How could a useless person like him be worthy of such a good girl like her?

Thinking of this, Si Zhengyan felt inexplicably sad. He had to be well. Would she like him?

No, don't let your imagination run wild, Si Zhengyan, you don't deserve it.

Only he knew what was in his heart. Lu Chaoyan had touched enough and went to the river to wash the pig's stomach.

I also took two rabbits with me.

When I came back, it was almost noon.

The dishes were naturally cooked in Si Zhengyan's kitchen, including spicy rabbit, braised carp, fried beans with minced meat, and fried loach with chili peppers.

She also soaked a pot of black fungus to save for making dumplings in the afternoon.

Lu Hanqing carried the vegetables back in a basket. Shen Fugui looked at Lu Chaoyan and said, "Chaoyan, you don't have to make such delicious dishes every day. Save money."

His eldest son-in-law Ma Yong joked, "Sister, if you keep eating like this, I won't be able to look down on my own food when I go home."

The second son-in-law, Yu Daming, responded, "I told your sister Dingxiang last night what we eat every day, and she was horrified. She asked if you were stupid, and asked me to persuade you not to spend all your dowry money."

Lu Chaoyan, who was handing out bowls and chopsticks to them, smiled cheerfully, "I caught this rabbit, the fish and loach were sent by Brother Aiguo, the meat was given to me by the sucker I met today, and the vegetables were picked from the fields. I didn't spend any money at all."

After hearing her say this, the few people didn't feel embarrassed anymore. After finishing their meal and before leaving, Lu Chaoyan took out the meat for them.

"Don't be polite to me. Today, we will have a share of this free piece of meat. Take it back and feed it to the children."

"No, no, how can you take it after you've eaten it?"

"I haven't finished eating the rabbit and pheasant you gave me yesterday. You can't have any more meat today."

Shen Fugui and his companions refused to take it, so Lu Chaoyan simply forced the meat on them.

"If you guys are so reserved, I'll start to suspect that you're not working hard for me."

"Haha, you kid," Shen Fugui smiled and took the meat, "Okay, okay, we'll take it."

"I have to share these things that I didn't pay for. You don't have to feel burdened," Lu Chaoyan talked about dinner again. "Uncle Fugui, I'll make dumplings tonight. You can ask Aunt Hongying and Nanxing to go to Si Zhengyan's place at the brigade headquarters. I bought a stove there, so it's convenient for cooking."

When Shen Fugui heard that she wanted to call Shen Nanxing to eat, he agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll tell your aunt Hongying to come back early to help you."

"That would be great."

After Shen Fugui and the others left, Lu Chaoyan arranged for Lu Xiang to not go to work in the afternoon and help her make dumplings.

Lu Xiang did not refute. He went to his private plot, pulled a handful of onions, cut a basket of leeks, and picked three young gourds, and took them to Si Zhengyan.

Liu Zhibai in the clinic was full of doubts.

Lu Chaoyan said that the meat was not bought with money, so where did it come from?

She had something to say to outsiders, but ignored him as her father.

What a wicked girl, I raised her in vain.

"Uncle, have you eaten?"

Tao Yuwei carried the basket and entered the clinic, "I brought you some delicious food."

As she spoke, she closed the back door of the clinic and pulled down the bamboo curtain on the back window.

Seeing her being mysterious, Liu Zhibai smiled dotingly, "What good stuff?"

"Jelly."

Tao Yuwei took out two bowls of jelly from the basket, one bowl was transparent with honey water on it, and the other bowl was green with crushed peanuts on it.

"Uncle, try this. This is a new food I invented. If I sell it, do you think anyone will buy it?"

In fact, she has been selling it for two mornings and it is very popular, but the price is too low. She only sells a big bucket for five dollars.

Every day, she and Si Zhengyang used their bicycles to carry six barrels to the black market, earning at most thirty yuan, which was nothing compared to mulberry jam.

It was all that bitch Lu Chaoyan’s fault. She had not only stopped her from making money but also dragged her mother down with it.

Liu Zhibai picked up the green one and took a few bites. It was salty, and then he ate the sweet one.

These two days, he secretly tasted the food made by Lu Chaoyan, which was better than that made by Tao Yuwei.

But he would not praise Lu Chaoyan, she was not worthy to compare with Tao Yuwei, "It's delicious, have you been making this these days?"

"Well, after my eldest brother and his wife left, Accountant Hu assigned their work points to them. My mother and I need to eat, so we can't make jam. This is all we can do."

Tao Yuwei pouted and spoke pitifully, which made Liu Zhibai feel distressed.

He raised his hand and touched Tao Yuwei's head. "This is against the rules after all. Go back to the clinic. I'll pay for your food and drink."

"Second uncle, you are so kind," Tao Yuwei smiled and held Liu Zhibai's hand, "Second uncle, can I ask you for a favor?"

Facing Tao Yuwei's beautiful face, Liu Zhibai always felt as if he had returned to the free days when he was in college.

After all, he spent the rest of his time trying to please the Lu family.

When he was a child, in order to survive, he had to please the old man Lu Yungui and play with the fool Lu Xiang every day.

After returning from college, he gave up on love, married a fool, and gave birth to a bunch of bastards who couldn't have his surname.

He obviously didn't like them and hated them extremely, but because Lu Yungui forced him, he had to put on a smile.

Be good to his silly daughter, and also be good to those four people who carry on the Lu family's legacy.

He devoted his entire life to the Lu family, but in the end he didn't even have a child to inherit his surname Liu.

He was unwilling to accept this, really unwilling to accept this.

Fortunately, God was merciful and Lu Yungui died early. He was finally able to get back all the grievances he had suffered over the years from his daughter.

"Uncle, uncle, why don't you speak?"

Tao Yuwei saw that he was in a daze and shook his arm.

Liu Zhibai came back to his senses and put away his resentment, "What's the matter?"

"Uncle, the man selling the painting said he would give me another ten days. If I don't get the money, he would sell the painting to someone else. But I don't have any money. Zheng Yang has not found the more than 1,000 yuan that his mother hid. Can you help me wake up Aunt Jiang?"

Tao Yuwei's eyes were red as she continued to cry and beg.

"Uncle, that painting is a masterpiece by a famous artist from the palace. In a few years, it will be worth tens of millions. By then, I will sell the painting and buy a villa in a big city and bring you and mom to live there. No one will be able to disturb or bully our family of three anymore."

Liu Zhibai loved the pancake that Tao Yuwei drew. He thought for a moment and agreed.

"Jiang Xiuqin's poisoning was so severe that her heart meridians were damaged. In addition to the detoxification injections, she also needs to take heart-nourishing pills for a few days before she can wake up."

While Liu Zhibai was speaking, he took out the silver needles and the heart-nourishing pills, opened the rear window, and called out to Lu Hanqing.

Lu Hanqing went to Si Zhengyan. Lu Chaoyan came over when she heard the voice. When she saw that it was Tao Yuwei, she felt a little confused.

"Where are you going?"

"I want you to manage."

Tao Yuwei carried the medicine box and walked away supporting Liu Zhibai.
