The atmosphere in the yard suddenly changed. Lu Dashan looked here and there. Although he felt it was a little strange, he could only give up because he really couldn't figure out the reason. He suspected that it might be because the other party didn't know him.
Realizing this, Lu Dashan would definitely not let go of such an opportunity to gain favor in front of the Dong family.
While the Dong family had not yet reacted to his identity, Lu Dashan continued to speak with a smile.
"Oh, I don't know if I disturbed you all by coming here so suddenly. If I did, I'd like to say sorry in advance."
"But I did come here today to talk to Lu Chen about something, but I don't know..."
When he said this, he deliberately paused for a moment, as if waiting for the Dong family to subconsciously reply to him whether Lu Chen was there.
When most people heard this, they would actually reply, "Lu Chen is not at home."
But in fact, the Dong family knew it all. As a member of the team, Lu Dashan should not be unaware that it was time to go to work. So if he pretended to be stupid, he must have his purpose.
In this case, they can cooperate with each other to see what he is up to.
When Lu Dashan heard the Dong family's subconscious reply that Lu Chen was not there, he was secretly delighted. Then he deliberately made an extremely embarrassed expression and said hesitantly.
"Oh, why isn't he at home? How am I supposed to pay him back..."
Lu Dashan's brows were tightly furrowed.
"If I don't pay the money back, who knows what people outside will say about me. I hope Lu Chen won't think too much and think that I am deliberately not paying the money back."
Look at the tone and the words in the sentence, such as "again" and "think too much", which reveal one message everywhere, that is, Lu Chen is a petty person who likes to fantasize and think the worst of others.
Especially since Lu Dashan just mentioned that he was Lu Chen's uncle, but now Lu Chen asked Lu Dashan to pay back the money, and it seemed that he had a bad attitude towards Lu Dashan.
When outsiders heard this, who wouldn't think that Lu Chen, this junior, had a bad temper
If the Dong family really met Lu Chen for the first time today and knew the relationship between Lu Chen and Lu Dashan for the first time, they would definitely involuntarily put themselves in Lu Dashan's role and condemn or blame Lu Chen.
Unfortunately, the Dong family knew about the relationship between Lu Chen and Lu Dashan before they came, and they had even investigated everything that had happened between them.
Therefore, Lu Dashan's behavior of flattering Lu Chen in front of the Dong family at this moment was undoubtedly that of a clown.
However, the Dong family still held back, pretending to know nothing, and also showed expressions of surprise and disbelief as Lu Dashan expected.
"Hey, aren't you Comrade Lu Chen's uncle? Why do you have to pay me back?"
Isn't this question exactly what he wants
Lu Dashan didn't expect his plan to go so smoothly, so he immediately spoke out all the words he had thought of at home.
"Hey, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. There are actually too many misunderstandings between me and my nephew Lu Chen. He didn't trust me because of some things and he resented me, but in fact, those were all accidents and not what he imagined. I wanted to explain, but he didn't listen..."
Then, Lu Dashan, from his own perspective, told the story of how he had exploited Lu Chen and occupied his father's pension over the years, completely confusing right and wrong.
In Lu Dashan's story, he felt sorry for Lu Chen because his parents died young and he had no father or mother, so he kept him by his side.
It's just that there are many people and children in the family, and his personal ability is limited. He has no choice but to use his brother's pension first. Otherwise, it would be okay for his own children to starve, but if he can't even continue to raise Lu Chen, he feels that he really has no face to see his dead brother and ancestors.
So in order to give his nephew Lu Chen a better living environment, he spent money to build this yard, and then improved the family's life, so that Lu Chen could grow up healthily over the years, and grow so tall and strong in these years when everyone was not well fed and clothed.
"You can see that my nephew is tall and strong. In fact, I have been taking good care of him for so many years and spent a lot of money on him, but he doesn't believe it. He thinks I took the money and embezzled it. Alas..."
Not to mention, if someone didn't know the truth, just by listening to Lu Dashan's words about Lu Chen's height, they would really be led astray by his words.
After all, Lu Chen's size is really rare in the countryside, and it definitely requires sufficient food and meat to raise him.
Hearing this, the Dong family's expressions became more serious, as if they were completely subdued by what Lu Dashan said.
"You were actually quite nice to Comrade Lu Chen, but how did you end up having to borrow money from him?"
"Hey, it's because he doesn't believe my good intentions. He even went to the captain and other connections to ask me to return all my things to him. No matter how I explained, he wouldn't listen. I have no choice but to do this."
Lu Dasan meant that he was forced into this situation by Lu Chen and his connections, and he had no choice but to do so.
The Dong family members were almost so angry that they laughed, but they held it back and watched Lu Dashan continue his performance quietly.
"... Oh, I'm so sorry. I accidentally said so much. Actually, I didn't mean anything. After all, Lu Chen is my nephew. There is no reason for us to have conflicts over spending the night together."
"Now I just want him to be happy. I am old and that's all I can do. He is still young, so it doesn't matter if he has more money. But since he is not at home, I will find another opportunity to give him money."
After Lu Dashan finished his performance, he secretly glanced at the Dong family a few times. Seeing that their expressions were very solemn, he felt secretly delighted.
It looks like his actions of sowing discord and discrediting Lu Chen in front of them were very successful!
If this first step is successful, then won’t he be able to get closer to the Dong family
"By the way, how long will you stay here? We have a great view here. If you want to go shopping, I can take you around. Everyone who comes here is a guest, so I have every reason to take care of you as the host!"
"Please don't be polite to me. I'm a warm and hospitable person. I don't think it's a bother at all."
The gleam in Lu Dashan's eyes was too obvious. The Dong family sneered silently, but in the end, Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
This is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to find out information about Lu Chen's parents from Lu Dashan.
And because they did not show any doubt or resistance to Lu Dashan's nonsense, in Lu Dashan's mind they had probably become synonymous with stupid and gullible, so his defense against them would be lowered, making it easier for them to get information from him.
Seeing this, Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong did not plan to go with them. After all, if there were more people going, Lu Dashan might become more alert. So in the end, Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao followed Lu Dashan, who seemed to have found a treasure, and went out for a stroll.
After they were far away, the old couple closed the gate and snorted coldly.
Unexpectedly, this Lu Dashan was even more shameless than they imagined. Not only did he confuse right and wrong, he also slandered Lu Chen!
Just by chatting with him here for a while, the old couple could imagine what kind of disgusting face he used to treat Lu Chen.
Just when the old couple wanted to scold Lu Dashan, they suddenly heard a noise coming from Meng Yinyin's room. Then they saw her push the door open and walk out, looking like she had just woken up.
Seeing this, the old couple of the Dong family immediately stopped the topic and turned to look at Meng Yinyin with a smile.
"Meng Zhiqing, you're awake."
Meng Yinyin was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that there were guests at home. It turned out that her host was still sleeping soundly during her nap and had just woken up.
She suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Grandpa Dong, Grandma Liu, didn't you take a nap?"
The old couple smiled and explained that they were old and slept less. Meng Yinyin said "oh" and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, the old couple noticed her discomfort and expressed their concern immediately.
"If you have something to do, just go do it. Don't worry about us. We can take a break or go out for a walk later."
Meng Yinyin nodded obediently to show that she understood, but suddenly she remembered something and asked uncertainly.
"Did someone come outside just now? I seemed to hear some noise."
The old couple of the Dong family hesitated for a while, and finally decided to conceal the fact that Lu Dashan was coming for the time being, and only said.
"Really? I didn't notice it. It could be that my daughter and her friends went out and made a noise."
When Meng Yinyin heard this, she realized that Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao had gone out.
She said "oh" but didn't think much about it. She just thought that the noise of opening and closing the door that she heard in her half-asleep state was indeed made by Dong Wenqian and the others. Then she subconsciously asked them what they were doing outside.
"Nothing much, just going out for a walk."
Well, nothing really.
Meng Yinyin was no longer curious, but she didn't have anything to do in the afternoon. If it were usual, she would probably be alone at home, wandering around here and there. Anyway, time would pass quickly if she didn't do anything.
But now that there were other people at home, she felt a little embarrassed to continue yelling. Also, she thought that Yu Xiaoyu's book would probably arrive in the next two days, so she finally decided to go find Yu Xiaoyu to ask about the situation.
Meng Yinyin quickly packed herself up, then quietly locked her and Lu Chen's doors, and went out. Of course, before leaving, she simply told the Dong family's old couple that she would be out for a while, and of course she would not tell them what she was going to do.
After going out, Meng Yinyin went straight to the field of the brigade. After all, the educated youth must be working at this time.
But before she could get to where everyone was working, she saw a strange scene.
She saw Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao, a couple, walking with Lu Dashan!
What surprised her even more was that Lu Dashan's face was filled with an extremely exaggerated smile
