Seeing Lu Chen's surprised expression, Meng Yinyin immediately tried to explain, "Well, you have to work during the day and you are already very tired. Besides, I was the one who was rescued, so I should go to his house and thank him properly, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned and hesitated for two seconds. In the end, he felt uneasy about letting Meng Yinyin go alone. After all, after what happened with Song Yue, he was not at all comfortable with Meng Yinyin walking outside alone.
At the critical moment, Meng Yinyin's brain worked much faster than usual. She guessed Lu Chen's thoughts almost instantly and stopped him again.
"I can really do it on my own! Or do you think that I am such a grown-up, I can't do other things well, and I can't even handle such a small thing?"
Meng Yinyin said this while deliberately showing an angry expression and glaring at Lu Chen with a pout.
Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't dare to say anything and could only nod helplessly.
Seeing that Lu Chen had finally given up the idea of going to Dou Zhengrong's house, Meng Yinyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Yinyin was afraid that something might go wrong again, so she quickly found an excuse to go back to her room to rest, and didn't want to continue talking about this topic with Lu Chen.
After returning to the room, she realized that her back was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and she couldn't help but complain to Lu Chen in her heart.
But she knew in her heart that if such a scene happened a few more times, with her courage, it would be impossible for her to get over it.
Therefore, the best way is to cut the root of the problem and solve it completely. Otherwise, it will pop up from time to time to scare her. Meng Yinyin feels that she really cannot bear this shock.
So she spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to prevent Lu Chen, Lin Xiuzhi and Dou Zhengrong from getting entangled in this matter again.
However, the final result was that after thinking about it for an entire afternoon, she still couldn't come up with a good solution.
After all, Lu Chen, Dou Zhengrong, Lin Xiuzhi and others were in the same team, so no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't completely avoid them.
So simply avoiding them shouldn't work. If that's the case, why not do some ideological work on them? Just like she influenced Lu Chen, instill in them little by little the idea that they can't be together
After thinking it over, Meng Yinyin felt that this method was not a bad idea. Finally, she resolutely decided to instill in Dou Zhengrong and his wife the awareness of staying together well when she went to Dou Zhengrong's house in the afternoon!
Even if they really couldn't get along, Lin Xiuzhi couldn't come to Lu Chen. After all, Lu Chen was with her now, and it would be impolite for Lin Xiuzhi to come to him again.
After figuring it out, Meng Yinyin hurriedly thought of some words to say, and time passed quickly.
Before Lu Chen left for work in the afternoon, he had already prepared everything for Dou Zhengrong and placed them in the main room. Meng Yinyin saw them as soon as she got up and went out.
Most people in the countryside are very honest, and usually they give people food or daily necessities as gifts. Lu Chen was no exception. He asked Meng Yinyin to bring a basket of vegetables, but underneath the vegetables was a piece of bacon weighing about one pound. This was considered high-end stuff in the countryside, and was big enough to be given as a gift.
He had prepared everything, which made it convenient for Meng Yinyin as she didn't have to think about what to give, and his etiquette was also correct. Meng Yinyin suddenly felt that Lu Chen was becoming more and more capable.
Soon, she picked up the basket, locked the door, and walked towards Dou Zhengrong's house.
When they came to a place not far from Dou Zhengrong's home, Meng Yinyin saw that their door was open. Dou Zhengrong was sitting in the yard repairing a stool. The two children, Dabao and Erbao, were nowhere to be seen. She didn't know whether they had gone out to play or to look for wild vegetables again.
As for Lin Xiuzhi, Meng Yinyin didn't see her in the yard, so she didn't know whether she was in the house or out.
So she wouldn't be going to face Dou Zhengrong alone, right
She was thinking that since both she and Lin Xiuzhi were lesbians, it might be easier to talk to them, but she didn't expect to see her at all.
If she were to face Dou Zhengrong alone, she would be a little worried about the inexplicable love story between them.
For a moment, Meng Yinyin felt like she was in a dilemma.
But while she was hesitating, Dou Zhengrong had already seen her and took the initiative to greet her.
"Meng Zhiqing, why are you here?"
Meng Yinyin came to her senses and noticed that Dou Zhengrong was looking at her. She was now in a state of panic.
She could only force a dry smile and then reply to Dou Zhengrong.
"Ha, ha, ha, yes, I came here because I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Dou Zhengrong immediately put down what he was doing, stood up with the help of crutches, and called Meng Yinyin to come into the yard and sit down.
But when he noticed Meng Yinyin's hesitant steps, he seemed to realize something. He frowned, but finally suppressed his annoyance and shouted into the house behind him.
"Xiuzhi, Meng Zhiqing is here, please come out for a moment."
He was a grown man, and even though it was daytime, if he stayed alone with Meng Yinyin, it might cause some gossip, so Dou Zhengrong could only call Lin Xiuzhi who was lying in the room out.
Speaking of which, ever since Lu Chen came to Dou Zhengrong's house last time and asked Lin Xiuzhi face to face why she said those words to Meng Yinyin, Lin Xiuzhi has been depressed for a long time and is still angry until now. At the same time, she is completely confused about whether Lu Chen likes "Lin Xiuzhi" or not.
If he really liked "Lin Xiuzhi", then why would he say such cruel words to himself and always stand on Meng Yinyin's side? This was too disrespectful to her.
And most importantly, if Lu Chen really didn't like "Lin Xiuzhi", then what would she do after divorcing Dou Zhengrong? Wouldn't she have to live alone? !
But she didn't want to stay and take care of a cripple and be a stepmother to two children. Whoever is willing to do this hard life can do it!
Because of all these troubles and problems, Lin Xiuzhi had no energy to do anything else during this period of time. She just stayed at home every day thinking and worrying.
As for everything else at home, she still wouldn't care about Dou Zhengrong and the two children. Even this home was not hers. What did it have to do with her if they were not doing well now
Dou Zhengrong didn't know if he was really angry about Lin Xiuzhi's visit to Lu Chen that day. He hardly spoke to Lin Xiuzhi since that day. Even the two children could see that their father Dou Zhengrong ignored their mother. The relationship between the couple fell into an unprecedented stalemate.
Lin Xiuzhi didn't care about this at all, and even thought it was better this way, as the two of them would keep to themselves!
The only thing that surprised her was that although it was obvious that Dou Zhengrong was extremely disappointed with her current actions, he still took care of her three meals a day. He even came to ask her if she was feeling unwell when she coughed a few days ago.
Lin Xiuzhi sneered in her heart, and thought that Dou Zhengrong was a spineless man. She treated him like this, almost putting a green hat on his head, and he still cared about her
What a useless man!
Because of this, Lin Xiuzhi naturally looked down on Dou Zhengrong even more, and at the same time she felt more at ease with being the eldest daughter in the Dou family.
However, just when she was still lying in the room thinking about her future, she suddenly heard Dou Zhengrong's voice outside calling her out, saying that Meng Yinyin was coming.
Her expression paused, and a cold light flashed in her eyes because of the three words "Meng Yinyin"!
Meng Yinyin!
It's all because of her!
If it weren't for her, Lu Chen would never have fallen in love with someone else. She is the woman who stole Lu Chen away, and she was hiding in Lu Chen's house dishonestly, and now she dares to come to his house
Where does she get the face from!
When Lin Xiuzhi thought that it was because Meng Yinyin changed the plot of the original book that caused her to end up in this situation, she naturally hated her to no end.
So she simply sat up from the bed and quickly went to the yard.
She had always hated Meng Yinyin, and now when she saw her rosy and shiny face and thought about how she had lived a hard life in the Dou family, she almost wanted to tear Meng Yinyin apart with her bare hands.
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Xiuzhi stared at Meng Yinyin viciously.
Now that she has broken off relations with Dou Zhengrong, she is no longer worried about how he will view her.
What about Meng Yinyin
Lin Xiuzhi originally disliked her, so it was impossible for her to pretend to be affectionate with her.
Lin Xiuzhi's cold expression and words successfully stunned Meng Yinyin. After all, the last time she saw Lin Xiuzhi was when she came to see Lu Chen. Although Lin Xiuzhi's attitude was a little strange that time, she was still a normal person after all, and her attitude towards her was not that strange.
As for the time when Lu Chen came to Dou Zhengrong's house to argue with them, after he returned, he simply told Meng Yinyin about what happened after he left, and did not tell her too much about Lin Xiuzhi, so Meng Yinyin really didn't know that Lin Xiuzhi had changed so much.
However, Meng Yinyin was not someone who would allow herself to be bullied. Realizing that Lin Xiuzhi was so rude to her, she would not treat her well.
Meng Yinyin also looked at Lin Xiuzhi with a cold face and said, "Of course I came here because of something."
As for what it was, she had originally planned to talk to Lin Xiuzhi about it first, but seeing her like this, Meng Yinyin suddenly didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Dou Zhengrong saw that the two people were about to start cursing, so he could only stand up and speak.
"Meng Zhiqing, would you like to come in and sit down?"
Meng Yinyin is still angry now, but she thinks that this trip cannot be in vain, she has to get something done, otherwise it will be a big loss!
So she thought about it, and the next second, Meng Yinyin suddenly adjusted her expression, showing a shy but happy smile, and said to the two of them: "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just came here to thank Comrade Dou for helping me last time. These are the thank-you gifts that Lu Chen and I prepared together. Comrade Dou, you must accept them."
Dou Zhengrong knew about this, but Lin Xiuzhi standing next to him didn't.
Hearing what Meng Yinyin said, Lin Xiuzhi frowned immediately, and looked back and forth between Meng Yinyin and Dou Zhengrong with suspicious eyes, but she couldn't help wondering in her heart, could it be that the relationship between Meng Yinyin and Dou Zhengrong is still there, but she was too anxious before and mistakenly thought that Meng Yinyin has left the plot
