Over a dozen of days ago, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu made a trip to the Dong Clan. These days, Dong Lei would eat breakfast slowly and slowly using her walking stick to walk from home to the Xu Family.

The first two days, this matter did not attract the attention of the villagers, they only thought that it was already spring, and that Dong Lei was bored senseless by his family members for the past few days.

However, for the next few days, he would leave the village in the morning and return in the evening. This naturally attracted the attention of many people in the village.

The person who was most concerned about this was the Dong Clan's neighbor, Liu Er, who was on her sixteenth birthday and was in a hurry to find a family to marry off.

Although Liu Er was already at the age to get married, if she were to stay for another year, it would be normal for him to be in the village near Xiahe Village.

And the reason she had set her eyes on Dong Lei before, was because Dong Lei was the most suitable candidate to be the waiter of the restaurants in the town, and was also the most suitable candidate for a husband in the Xiahe Village, as well as the few nearby villages.

Moreover, the Dong Clan was right next door. If she married into the Dong Clan, she would be able to take care of her younger brother and sister every day.

Because this was exactly how Liu Er had told her parents, even though Liu Er and his parents hadn't said it on the surface, they were still supportive in their hearts.

But since two months ago when Dong Lei broke his leg and lost the restaurant assistant, Liu Er's parents were no longer willing.

But in the recent few days, Liu Er found out again about Dong Lei going to the Xu Family everyday.

A few days ago, she had also wanted to use an egg to trick Dong Zhen into telling her what Dong Lei was doing at the Xu Family.

But exactly because she could not find out, Liu Er felt that this matter was definitely very important.

Furthermore, with the happy appearance of the Dong Clan, Liu Er was sure that there must be a good thing going on in the Dong Clan, and it was even related to Dong Lei.

Liu Er pondered at home for a few days. Based on how she went to visit the Xu Family every day and how she was still teaching Dong Miao and Dong Zhen to count when she returned, she inferred that Dong Shu would probably get her master to promote Dong Lei to Cousin.

Liu Er was able to deduce this based on the way Dong Lei treated the Dong Clan members and the way he treated them previously.

It had to be said that Liu Er was smart, but her thoughts were wrong.

After deducing this possibility, Liu Er wanted to work hard for herself one more time.

Dong Lei's appearance was not bad to begin with, and adding to that he might have tasks that would cause the villagers to feel envious of him, Liu Er was naturally unwilling to give up.

Dong Lei didn't know that Liu Er had thought of a plan against him. Recently, he had been learning and calculating from Xu Shiqiu every day at the Xu Family, and because he ate at the Shihuan Courtyard every day at noon, he discovered that not only had his spirit improved, even his body had become much stronger.

Those who were interested in Dong Lei's change, would naturally see it all.

It was precisely because of the obvious change in Dong Lei that Madame Dai was able to endure until now.

But with the village discussing Dong Lei more and more, it was likely that this matter would not be hidden for long.

Today, Dong Lei was still able to eat breakfast like he always did. He was leaning on a walking stick as he slowly walked towards the Xu Family, but just as he walked out of his house, he met his mother's cousin, the little Madame Dai.

Upon seeing the little Madame Dai, Dong Lei was startled, and then he quickly reacted. This aunt of his was probably specially waiting for him here.

Thinking about it, he looked at the little Madame Dai and calmly opened his mouth to greet her: "Aunt is coming to my house to look for my mother? "My mom and dad went to the fields early in the morning. There's only Miao'er at home."

Dong Lei saw that just as the little Madame Dai finished speaking, the little Madame Dai, who had specially picked the Dong Clan Elders to come over, immediately smirked: "I came specifically to find your nephew." After saying that, the little Madame Dai did not wait for Dong Lei to speak and continued: "Lei'er, Aunt is there something I need to ask you. Did your cousin ask you to go to Xu Family everyday? I see that you've gotten fatter recently, what kind of delicious food did she cook for you to eat? "

Hearing that the little Madame Dai used such a teasing tone to ask such a question, Dong Lei first looked at the little Madame Dai and smiled, then nodded at her, and softly replied: "Mn."

Seeing that Dong Lei had only said "En", and did not intend to continue speaking, the expression on the little Madame Dai's face immediately froze. Just as she was about to continue asking, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Cousin, you're looking for me?" The Madame Dai gasped for breath as she watched the little Madame Dai finish speaking. She then looked at Dong Lei and said, "Lei'er, you … go and busy yourself quickly, you have a mother here."

When Madame Dai heard about Dong Miao's news from her backyard, she rushed back in a hurry.

When Dong Lei had just left the house, he was preparing to take some clothes out to wash his clothes. Unexpectedly, he saw his aunt standing far away sneakily.

She did not go out through the main entrance. Instead, she climbed over the fence from the back garden and ran all the way to her house.

When the Madame Dai heard that the little Madame Dai was in front of her own door, she guessed that she was using her seniors' identity to inquire about what Dong Lei was doing.

If it was in the past, Madame Dai would definitely flaunt her skills at all costs. However, Dong Lei had specifically mentioned this to him before, and after seeing her son grow meat these few days, he was determined to keep this matter a secret.

Although Madame Dai loved to scheme and prioritize males over females, she still viewed her eldest son, Dong Lei, with special importance.

Dong Lei understood his mother's battle strength, so when his mother finished speaking, he nodded towards her and said: "Then I will leave first, Mother, you will go back home to rest and drink some water before going to the ground. Your body is more important, don't get tired. "

Dong Lei looked at Madame Dai with concern, and after he finished speaking, he revealed a joyous smile.

Madame Dai was very concerned about Dong Lei, and she also thought that if her eldest son became the one in charge of her own blissful days, she would be filled with fighting spirit.

Dong Lei watched his mother's exhausted face until it was full of fighting spirit. Only then did he feel relieved and leave, walking towards Xu Family.

Seeing Dong Lei leave just like that, the little Madame Dai naturally didn't want to stop him, but at this moment, all she was thinking about was how to take care of her son's good days after becoming a manager, so how could she allow the little Madame Dai to ruin it?

Seeing that the little Madame Dai wanted to reach out to stop Dong Lei, the Madame Dai immediately reached out and stopped her arm, then half pulled her out to bring her to her courtyard.

As he was bringing them along, he said, "It's been a while since you came. Come in, we need to have a chat."

The Madame Dai was a bit thicker and stronger than the little Madame Dai. Now that she had motivation in her heart, she naturally managed to pull the little Madame Dai away smoothly.

Although the timely appearance of the Madame Dai made Dong Lei not linger on his doorstep for too long, in order to avoid the rest of the villagers, the time it took for Dong Lei to arrive at the Shihuan Courtyard today was much later than usual.

Seeing Dong Lei appear, Dong Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

After that, without waiting for Xu Shiqiu to speak, Dong Shu went ahead and looked at Dong Lei: "Did Cousin have something to delay them today?" While talking, Dong Shu directly walked to the side of the table and poured a cup of warm water from the water bottle for Dong Lei.

When Dong Shu finished asking this question, Xu Shiqiu realized that Dong Lei's forehead was perspiring profusely.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shiqiu was slightly stunned, and then he roughly guessed the reason.

He laughed lightly as he shook his head. Then, he looked at Cui Hua who was standing at the door.

Dong Lei sat down and took a deep breath before drinking another cup of warm water. Only then did he have the strength to look at Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu and speak: "Today, when we went out, we were stopped by Aunt." After saying that, Dong Lei raised his hand to pour himself another cup of warm water, and then continued to speak: "Later on, I met many villagers, and in order to avoid them, I took a detour."

If he still had not broken his legs, Dong Lei would not be so tired.

However, his legs weren't ready yet. With the aid of the walking stick, he was truly quite tired.

After Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Lei's words, the two of them looked at each other, then Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and spoke: "As expected, this matter was decided by our husband."

When Dong Shu just finished speaking, she smiled and shook his head to her: "It's not strange to be able to guess what this is all about. Cousin has been coming to us everyday, and after all these days, he must have attracted other people's attention."

On the first day Dong Lei came here, he told Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu that he wanted to hide this matter from them first.

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had no objections to this matter, since Dong Lei wanted to keep it a secret, they did not reveal it to the public.

However, in private, the two of them still discussed this matter and felt that it could not be concealed for long.

Although Dong Lei did not know that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had once discussed this matter in secret, but hearing the words of the two of them, Dong Lei could guess that they were not optimistic that he could hide this matter from them.

Thinking to this point, Dong Lei raised his head and looked at the two of them, "It's good that you guys are continuing to hide it as much as possible.

Xu Shiqiu didn't understand why Dong Lei had hidden it from him, but he could more or less guess why.

After hearing Cousin's words, Dong Shu immediately nodded her head, and looked towards Xu Shiqiu: "Hubby, it's getting late, hurry up and check what we learned yesterday, then I'll cook earlier, and tell Cousin to return home earlier today."

It was only when Xu Shiqiu smiled and shook his head towards his, saying that she had a 'good idea', that he realized what she meant. She wanted him to divert the time he had usually returned so that he could avoid the people from the village.

With regards to Dong Shu's suggestion, Dong Lei was naturally happy to accept it.

But what Dong Lei did not know was that although he could avoid many people in the village, he could not avoid his neighbor, Liu Er.

Today, Dong Lei was not staying in the Shihuan Courtyard for long. Not long after finishing lunch, he learned a few words before carrying a bowl of Red Braised Pork that he had not finished eating back home.

On the way back, Dong Lei thought that his mother would definitely be happy after bringing the meat back.

It just so happened that he had studied for so many days. Since he still had some time in the afternoon, he would study at home and prepare to teach his sister-in-law.

The moment Dong Lei left, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu packed their things and prepared to go to the main courtyard to see Xu Yanzhu. After that, they coincidentally would be left at the main courtyard to accompany Old Madame Xu and Xu Yanzhu for dinner.

However, not long after they arrived at the main courtyard, Dong Zhen ran to the side door of the Xu Family in a panic, bringing with him news that shocked both Dong Shu and.

"You said that the Cousin is being held to be frivolous against Liu Er?"
