Chapter 57 The joys and sorrows of people are not connected 2
In the kitchen, Grandma Mu and Mu Kelan were on one side, one cooking and the other tending to the dishes.
"Let me tell you, our Xiaochuan and Liannan are quite a match."
While Grandma Mu was sorting the dishes, she peeked at the two people in the main room through the gap in the kitchen curtain.
"Mom, you said that, and I think so too."
Mu Kelan was cooking with a smile. She really wished that Chu Lian was her daughter-in-law, but she just thought about it.
The gap in family background is too big, and Chu Lian may not necessarily like her own son, but she does treat Chu Lian as half a daughter.
After all, without Chu Lian's support, there would be no Mu Zechuan today.
"Yeah, the more I watch, the happier I am. Oh my god, I look forward to seeing Liannan come back every day. She is different from those rich people."
"Liannan has a kind heart. Why don't you ask Xiaochuan if he likes Liannan another day? My wife can also help him!"
Listening to Grandma Mu's excitement, Mu Kelan smiled.
"Mom, as elders, we shouldn't join in on the fun of this young thing."
Mu Kelan has been at home since she became pregnant. At that time, she met a man she liked because of her work. The man told her that he would always love her and be good to her.
He also said that after he returned from his business trip, he discussed with his family that he would come back to Wuzhen to marry him. She stupidly believed him. Unexpectedly, Mu Kelan found out that she was pregnant before the man had been away for two months. When she went to the hospital for a physical check-up, she discovered that she was pregnant.
Back then, she wanted to call the man and tell him, but there was always a cold mechanical voice on the other end of the phone. Later, Grandma Mu became extremely angry, saying that she was too naive and was being deceived by the man.
She took Mu Kelan and wanted to go to the hospital to have an abortion. Mu Kelan couldn't bear it and begged to give birth to the child. In the end, Grandma Mu couldn't resist her and kept cursing her.
Until Mu Zechuan was born, Grandma Mu had no choice but to like the child more and more, so she had no choice but to let Mu Kelan and the two mothers slowly raise the child.
In the end, because the family could not afford to support him, he planned to give up his studies. At this time, Chu Lian came to Wuzhen for a trip and sponsored Mu Zechuan, giving the Mu family hope for life.
It has been so long that Mu Kelan has forgotten the man's face and his name. The only thing that can be heard now is that his surname is Lu...

"Sister, are you feeling better?"
Mu Zechuan still remembered the time when Chu Lian was suffering from motion sickness. He leaned close to Chu Lian and raised his hand to gently press Chu Lian's temples.
His nose was filled with the faint fragrance of white camellia from Chu Lian, which made him a little addicted. His love was poisoned by a kind of poison called Chu Lian, but he was willing to fall deeply into it...
"It's much better, Zechuan. I feel much more relaxed when I return to Wuzhen. I feel like home."
Chu Lian half-squinted her eyes, leaned back on the wooden chair, and spoke softly.
She really hasn't felt the warmth of home for a long time. Coming to Mu's house in Wuzhen is like returning to her hometown when she was a child. There are people who care about you, people who feel sorry for you, and people who know how well you are...
"Xiaochuan, clear the table and let's eat!"
Grandma Mu came forward and saw the two of them leaning together, laughing from ear to ear.
"good!"
Mu Zechuan stood up and quickly cleared the table. Mu Kelan and Grandma Mu began to place the dishes one after the other.
After a while, the table was filled with dishes again, including meat, vegetables, pastries and fruits. Chu Lian was stunned to see it, it was like eating a banquet.
"This, this is too much, empress, Aunt Mu, you..."
"It's rare that you come home, and I want you to try everything. The food in the city is not as delicious and healthy as the food in the countryside."
Mu Kelan smiled, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in Chu Lian's bowl.
"Yes, Liannan, you are too thin. You need to eat more. I see that I have made the Dingsheng cake you like, as well as the salted duck that Xu Ting sent some time ago."
Grandma Mu pointed with chopsticks and introduced. Chu Lian looked along the chopsticks and saw that it was a plate of white flower-shaped pastries sprinkled with sweet-scented osmanthus.
Dingsheng cake is soft, glutinous and sweet, and melts in your mouth. When traveling in Wuzhen, Chu Lian loved this with her tea.
Seeing Chu Lian's somewhat lost look, Grandma Mu patted Mu Zechuan and signaled him to bring the Dingsheng cake to Chu Lian.
Mu Zechuan understood and came to sit next to Chu Lian with the pastry. There was a long wooden stool, one for each person. He picked up the pastry from the plate and handed it to Chu Lian's mouth.
Chu Lian didn't think much and took a sip with his hand. It was soft and sweet, with the fragrance of osmanthus. It melted in her mouth and it still tasted the same as before.
"How about it? My wife is getting old, so I'm afraid her food won't be as delicious as before."
Grandma Mu watched the interaction between the two people with a smile. She was determined to make this granddaughter-in-law.
"It's delicious. Your Majesty makes it just like before. Chu Lian loves it the most."
"Sister, don't eat too many sweets. Didn't you get motion sickness just now?"
Seeing Chu Lian take a few bites, Mu Zechuan was worried that she would be so disgusted that she would feel nauseated, so he fed it into his mouth all at once.
"Motion sickness? Eat something appetizing. I'll get it."
Mu Kelan got up and went to the kitchen to take out a small plate of food and put it on the table in front of Chu Lian.
"If you feel motion-sick, eat some pickled radish. It's sour, sweet, and appetizing."
Chu Lian looked down at the plate of radish strips, which were as white and crystal clear as snow pears, making people want to take a bite.
Mu Zechuan on the side skillfully picked up a radish with his chopsticks and fed it to Chu Lian's mouth.
His voice was as gentle as water, like coaxing a child: "Sister, you can try it, it's appetizing."
Chu Lian lowered her head and took a bite. It was sour and sweet, and very crispy. She immediately whetted her appetite after eating it. She rarely eats pickled products, and she didn't expect these radish strips to be so appetizing.
“It’s delicious.”
Chu Lian looked up at Mu Zechuan with a smile. Grandma Mu and Mu Kelan looked at each other and smiled at this scene.
Mu Zechuan looked at Chu Lian, who was smiling like a spring flower under the light, and suddenly felt that his mouth was dry and his heartbeat was speeding up.
He moistened his lower lip and swallowed secretly. What should he do if the person he likes is too tempting?
He really wanted to kiss her, but he had to restrain himself. Yan Yi was right, they were almost the same, one was just crazy and the other was not so crazy.
"Well..., you can like it, eat more?"
The tips of Mu Zechuan's ears were slightly red, and he continued to hold dishes for Chu Lian.

"Eat some."
Lu Xu looked at Lin Yu, who was silent and curled up on his seat. No one took the sandwich in his hand.
"If you continue like this, your body will collapse."
After Lu Xu comforted Lin Yu, he quickly bought tickets for the two of them to go back. While looking at the boarding information, he received two text messages.
It was sent to him by Lu's father, which meant that his family had obtained the land from the Xu family and asked him to go back and start implementing the project.
The other one was from Lu's mother, saying that Lin's parents had died in a car accident and asking him to break up with Lin Yu quickly.
Then came the news broadcast by the media that Chairman Lin and his wife died in a car accident on the Xicheng Street National Highway, and rescue efforts failed.
Now they were going to claim the body. Lin Yu cried and fell asleep after the media broadcast, and cried again and again. Until now, he has been so silent and did not respond to him.
"Lin Yu, cheer up, you and I..."
Lin Yu blinked her eyes but remained silent. Her head felt dizzy and her heart ached. She didn't believe that in just one day, she would be separated from her parents forever.
She ran out willfully, and her parents got into a car accident. Did she listen to her parents and not be with Lu Xu and resist them so much that nothing would happen.
Lin Yu's mind plays like a movie about her parents' kindness to her. She remembers her birthday every year. She is afraid that she won't have enough money to spend a lot, so her mother will communicate with her every time...
With this thought in mind, he arrived at the funeral parlor unknowingly. Lu Xu parked the car, opened the car door, and slowly walked in while supporting Lin Yu.
"Are you Lin Yu?"
At this time, a woman in black uniform came to the two of them and asked.
"she is."
Lu Xu nodded slightly and helped Lin Yu answer.
"Okay, please come with me."
The staff took him to two places and came to a room, where two policemen were questioning and dealing with it. After seeing the three people, they spoke.
"Is he a family member of Lin Li? Please identify the body and do the follow-up processing."
When Lin Yu heard his father's name, he pushed Lu Xu away, staggered to the two iron beds, and looked at the two people covered with white cloths.
She carefully raised her hands and opened the white cloth respectively. Seeing the familiar face shocked her brain, and then she burst into tears and choked with sobs.
"Dad, Mom, wake up and stop joking with Yu'er."
Lin Yu gently shook the two of them. When Lu Xu saw this, he endured grief and pulled away from Lin Yu. Lin Yu struggled and watched helplessly as his parents were pushed away.
"We found this in the car. Now we will hand it over to the family members. They will take 20 minutes to collect their emotions and then contact me for follow-up processing."
The policeman sighed, placed the documents and recorder in his hands in front of Lin Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head and left.
Lu Xu took out the memory card of the recorder, put it in Lin Yu's mobile phone, and played it for Lin Yu to listen to.
"We can take our daughter to visit our hometown then. She has rarely been home. Then I will go and apologize to her."
A familiar voice came from the phone. Father Lin was in a good mood and discussing with Mother Lin. Lin Yu listened in a daze. The clearest thing was that her father said that he wanted to apologize to her.
"Dad, I was wrong, please stop joking with me."
"Lin Yu, Lin Yu! Don't do this!"
