The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 181 - 177: Old Friends and Three Matters (2)

Chapter 181: Chapter 177: Old Friends and Three Matters (2)

Chen Yao’s parents and Li Zongsheng’s family came, and Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran’s business negotiations were about done, so the group decided to retreat.

"Uncle Chen, Chenye is my brother, so you guys go ahead with your work. I’ll take these two lovebirds to my place for a bit."

Chen Hongling nodded, "Go ahead, don’t leave at noon. Come to the team headquarters for a simple meal."

"No, no need," Xiao Chenye saved over a hundred bucks this time and got lots of loose green bricks, which was considered a big win.

People really need to know when to quit while they’re ahead.

He politely said, "You’re busy, and my family is waiting for me to come back and report, so I’ll just stop by the Gao family for a bit and head off later."

"Alright, alright then, take care~"

The group had just stepped out of the yard gate when they heard a deafening roar.

"Ow~ Dad, dad, dad! Don’t hit the face, don’t... Ow~~"

The three exchanged glances, secretly feeling relieved.

Gao Le took the initiative to explain, "It’s nothing, as for who Li Zongsheng is, I won’t comment for now; but Chen Yao..."

He had an expression that said it all, "He’s just a big fool, talks and acts without thinking."

Wen Ran felt Gao Le was right, not only talks and acts without thinking, but also doesn’t seem to bring his eyes out when he goes out.

Our Songzhu, such a cute little squirrel, this blind-eyed fellow mistook it for a big rat.

"It’s okay," Xiao Chenye laughed, "At least it didn’t cause us any loss."

...

The Gao family also had a big brick-and-tile house, neatly tidied up, and in the yard they not only set up a little vegetable plot, but even put up a flower rack, although didn’t dare plant flowers, cautiously planted a cluster of grapes instead.

Provides shade in the summer, and in a couple of months, you can eat grapes.

As for whether the fat, plump worms disgust people.

Family’s chickens would say, disgusting or not, chickens don’t know, but they’re soon drooling with greed.

The two arrived at the Gao family’s place and were treated with the highest courtesy.

Gao Le’s wife, Xie Qin, whispered to her husband, "What a pity, it’s all settled now, otherwise, this girl is so pretty, it’d be great to introduce her to my brother."

Gao Le: "..."

He glanced at his wife, full of disbelief, really, sister, what’s wrong with you?

"This is my life-passing dear brother, you’re thinking about his wife too, Xie Qin, speaking like this lacks a conscience."

Xie Qin chuckled awkwardly, "Ah, your words aren’t nice. I was just mumbling to you, didn’t do anything."

She was a bit dissatisfied, "I just said a word, do you have to use this tone with me?"

"At your age, have you learned nothing? Know what can be said, what can’t be said, don’t you know?"

Gao Le was close with Xiao Chenye; these years he hadn’t found a significant other, wasn’t really interested in this.

Now that he found one, the excitement in his eyes surely means he treats her like a treasure.

You open your mouth to say to introduce her to your brother.

What?

Think their brotherhood is too tight?

The more he thought, the more annoyed he got, Gao Le waved his hand, "Forget it, I won’t argue with you now, hurry, get inside and don’t neglect the guests."

Xie Qin pursed her lips, frowned, and went back inside looking unhappy.

Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran weren’t blind, nor deaf, the couple’s quarrel was seen by them clearly.

Wen Ran gestured with her eyes, what’s going on? Just started fighting?

Xiao Chenye was also puzzled, in his memory, the couple’s relationship was really good.

Every time Gao Le went out, he would bring back lots of good food and drink and useful stuff.

For his parents, wife, and kids.

Okay, then what’s going on here?

They originally planned to mooch a meal at the Gao family’s, but seeing this, they truly dared not.

A glance exchange, Wen Ran suddenly grabbed her belly and started howling, "Oh no, my stomach hurts."

Xiao Chenye immediately reacted, "What? Stomach ache?"

He grabbed Wen Ran’s shoulder with sincere concern, "Hold on, I’ll take you to see a doctor."

Working in perfect harmony, before Gao Le even could react, the two had already hopped onto the bike and made their getaway.

Gao Le: "..."

Such poor acting.

Mrs. Gao was still in the kitchen, stepped out, and the two family guests were gone.

With a puzzled look, "Son, where’s the fifth’s object and his wife?"

Gao Le rubbed his face, feeling a little weary, "Mom, don’t call it that, they’re not married, just dating."

Mrs. Gao: "..."

How much can there be between object and wife?

"Alright, alright, object it is, where are they?"

"The fifth’s object had a stomach ache and left."

Though it was his wife who went mad, Gao Le subconsciously vouched for her.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships are inherently tricky. Best not involve parents in couple issues.

"Huh?" Mrs. Gao got anxious, "Why didn’t you drive the tractor and give them a lift? We’ll pay for the fuel."

"...Mom, the tractor bumps too much. People might get worse from it."

"That’s true."

...

Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye slowed their pace once they left the Cuihua Team.

Putting aside those trivial talks, today’s results were considered successful.

Halfway through, they got hungry, the remaining dry food was there, but didn’t really want to eat it.

"It’s still early, how about..."

Looking ahead at the towering mountains, Wen Ran couldn’t hide her excitement, "Should we go up the mountain and hunt something to eat?"

Xiao Chenye was also happy to spend some time alone with Wen Ran outside.

Once home, he practically never gets close to Wen Ran, she’s always surrounded by so many people.

The two of them were action-oriented, deciding to go to the mountains, they hoisted the bicycle, and followed the little path down.

The weather was still slightly cold; except for a few fearless flowers that secretly bloomed, the rest were still growing strong, trying to make their roots fresh and green.

Their luck was good, upon descending they encountered a rabbit not too afraid of people, spotting the two, it still stood upright, nibbled wild greens with its split mouth.

Chomp chomp, looked very appetizing.

Wen Ran started drooling.

After a whole morning of bustling, her stomach was growling, watching the rabbit eat wild greens, her gaze was akin to watching her main dish eating side dish.

Xiao Chenye wanted to show off but seeing Wen Ran’s eyes almost glowing red, he decisively chickened out.

Knowing his own limitations, Xiao Chenye knew catching a rabbit using tools wasn’t hard, but with bare hands, it might end with chasing chickens and losing eggs.

In case the rabbit ran off...

Xiao Chenye awkwardly thought, Ranran likely wouldn’t dismantle him, right?

Shouldn’t, right?

"You go ahead."

Wen Ran nodded, took a small stone out from her pocket, raised her hand, as the wind-breaking sound rang out, the stone hit the rabbit’s head precisely.

With a crunch, the rabbit fell to the ground.

Wen Ran cheered with fists pumping, "Oh yeah~ Let’s eat!"

Now they’ve got the ingredients, but actually cooking might still be a bit tricky.

Wen Ran carried the rabbit to pave the way, Xiao Chenye carried the bicycle following behind.

In less than twenty minutes, they found a small creek.

Wen Ran took out a dagger from her chest, handed it to Xiao Chenye, excitedly, "Come on, I’m already kinda impatient."

Xiao Chenye held the rabbit in his left hand, dagger in his right, looking at Wen Ran, hesitating to speak.

Wen Ran: "?"

She looked confused, curiously, "What’s wrong? You’re reluctant to take action on this rabbit? What concerns you?"

Xiao Chenye raised the dagger, cautiously asked, "There’s nothing odd like mushroom powder on this, right?"

He remembered the last disaster clearly and didn’t want to innocently fall victim again.

Wen Ran: "..."

Shouldn’t be, right?
