C175 Accompany Her Back to Her Hometown

But she couldn't ignore Old Man Qin's grave.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yumeng fell silent. Lu Chen directly lifted the thing in her hand and said, "I remember that your hometown is not far from Nancheng. If you go there now, you will arrive before dark, right?"

It was not far. It only took two hours to drive.

But they were still in a cold war, weren't they? A truce just like that?

"Let's go and take a look now." As he spoke, he carried his things and walked to the car parked by the road.

In fact, according to Qiao Yumeng's personality, this kind of thing happened in the past. But now, it seemed to be different. She really seemed to be more and more reliant on Lu Chen.

When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting in the passenger seat of Lu Chen's car.

"Remember to give me directions later. I'm not very familiar with them." Lu Chen said.

"Oh." Qiao Yumeng answered and turned to look at the two big bags of baby supplies on the back seat. Although she knew that the two bags had nothing to do with them, she could not help but have some thoughts that she should not have.

On the way, Lu Chen didn't say anything. He just drove seriously and occasionally gave her a glance.

Two hours later, the two of them returned to Qiao Yumeng's hometown.

Although it was called their hometown, in fact, there was not even a tile that belonged to Qiao Yumeng's family.

Due to the development of policies and economy, the village was filled with two or three floors of small buildings. The roads were all turned into cement roads.

Lu Chen found an empty space at the entrance of the village and stopped the car. Before they got out of the car, a middle-aged woman in her fifties was waiting there with a flattering smile on her face.

"Meng, I haven't seen you for so many years. You are still so pretty." As she spoke, she looked into the car.

Qiao Yumeng knew that she was looking at what gifts they had brought her. It was a pity that they came in a hurry and did not plan to go to their house for a seat.

Very quickly, Lu Chen got out of the car. When her aunt saw him, her smile was almost overflowing. She went up and grabbed Lu Chen's hand and shook it vigorously. She said, "This is Lu Chen, right? He really is a dragon among men. He is much better than that Fu or something."

Although Qiao Yumeng was not familiar with this aunt, when she heard her say this, Qiao Yumeng still felt as if she had eaten a fly. It was very disgusting.

"Aunt, thank you for coming to the village entrance to pick us up, but we do not plan to return to the village. If you want to see my grandfather's tomb, then leave."

"Aiya, we're all back. Let's go home for dinner first. I told your cousin to finish cooking and wait for you." As her aunt spoke, she already reached out to grab Qiao Yumeng's hand.

Qiao Yumeng was thinking that this aunt was talking about your cousin and your cousin. She probably thought that she had climbed up to Lu Chen now and wanted Lu Chen to arrange a decent job for her cousin.

This cousin, other than when he touched her face when she was young, it was during Old Qin's funeral. Their family ran to Nancheng but did not get any benefits. He directly spat at Old Qin's portrait.

Actually, Qiao Yumeng's cousin did not look bad. Unfortunately, he was lazy and had an arrogant and unreasonable personality. He did not look like a good person.

"There's really no need." Qiao Yumeng said and turned around to leave.

"Meng." Aunt called out twice and saw that Qiao Yumeng's attitude was very firm. He grabbed Lu Chen's arm and said, "Lu Chen. Do you think this is the first time you and Meng have gone back to your hometown? It doesn't look good if you don't have a meal, right? No matter what, you have to give your aunt face. If you don't go to dinner at home, "That's right!"

Qiao Yumeng has always been a person who eats soft but does not take hard. When she heard her aunt say so, she almost asked her who she thought she was and why she gave her face.

Before Qiao Yumeng could say anything, Lu Chen looked at Qiao Yumeng and said, "Let's go and pray to Grandfather after dinner, okay?"

"Let's go, let's go." Aunt smiled and pulled Lu Chen away.

Lu Chen helplessly followed his aunt and turned to look at Qiao Yumeng.

Although she was still angry this time, the reason Lu Chen came here was all because of her. If she did not care about him leaving, it would not be proper.

So in the end, Qiao Yumeng followed Lu Chen to her aunt's house.2

Like the other families in the village, her aunt's house was built with two floors, but the house seemed very empty, probably because she had no money to buy furniture after building a new house.

Sure enough, during the meal, her aunt had been crying about being poor. She even said that because of the incident with the big boss of Qin family, the villagers laughed at them. The words she said were not true. She blamed the matter of Cousin Qiao Yumeng not being able to marry a wife on Old Man Qin.

Qiao Yumeng originally did not want to eat this meal. Hearing her say that, it was like a fishbone stuck in her throat. She immediately put down her chopsticks and asked, "Aunt, what do you mean by that?"

Aunt was stunned for a moment and soon understood that what she said was too satisfying and forgot to restrain herself. She smiled coyly and said, "Actually, I am just having a family reunion with you guys. Everyone says that. I do not think so. This village person loves to gossip."

"I'm full. I want to see my grandfather's tomb." Qiao Yumeng said and stood up.

"Don't." Aunt raised her hand and wanted to grab Qiao Yumeng's hand but was dodged by Qiao Yumeng. She immediately looked at Lu Chen and said, "Look, this Lu Chen is not full yet."

"I am also full." Lu Chen's face carried a smile. That smile was very faint, so faint that it did not touch his eyes at all.

After a moment of silence, his aunt pulled out another smile on her face and said, "Actually, your cousin has already asked someone to investigate your grandfather's tomb. It's just for this matter that your cousin lost his job..."

When she finally got to the main topic, Qiao Yumeng did not speak and just waited to see what she could say.

Meng, I heard that your father opened a company in Nancheng? "

"He and I are not close." Everyone knew Qiao Yi's style of doing things. Although he looked gentle, he was actually a smiling tiger. There were many people in Qin family who wanted to get close to Qiao Yi, but who succeeded?

"I know that Qiao Yi. Looking at his face, he..." As Aunt spoke, she realized that she had said something wrong. She patted her mouth and said, "I don't want to beat around the bush with you. I'll just tell you this. Where's your grandfather's grave? It's buried in our family's fields. These years. We didn't ask you for any cemetery money, either."

"And then?" Old Man Qin's cemetery had always been a farm under Old Man Qin's name. It was just that when he was young, he went out to do business and left the farm at home to his brother's family. He didn't charge rent.

However, some ingrates would take things for themselves after a long time.

"Cough." Her aunt looked very embarrassed and said, "I just want you to find a decent job for your cousin and introduce him to a well-educated wife. Nothing else."
