When Lu Wenyi gave it to them at school before, both of them were very happy. They went to the foothills to pick some mushrooms and wild fruits to thank Chen Anwen on the same day.
"Foster mother has prepared more snacks for you. Share them with your cousins later." Lu Jueyu said.
After taking the lunch bag, Dong Li and Dong Huang both nodded and said, "Foster mother, we are going to school now."
Lu Jueyu patted their heads and said, "En, be careful on the road and study hard."
After the children left, Lu Jueyu locked the door and walked to the backyard. Today, she plans to make oyster sauce.
When she was filling the big wooden basin with water, Li Chenmo walked up to her and said, "Wife, I’m going to the county seat with my second brother. Do you want me to buy you something?"
Lu Jueyu looked at him and asked in surprise, "Husband, did something happen? Why did you leave so suddenly?"
"My second brother came over just now and said that the person who stabbed Ding Ran was caught. He was the one who reported us to the officers. So, my brother and I wanted to go over and see what happened." Li Chenmo explained.
After hearing what he said, Lu Jueyu asked with some worry, "Husband, will it cause you trouble if you go there now? After all, he is accusing us of participating in private transactions. If you go there, will the authorities detain you?"
Li Chenmo patted her head and comforted her, "Wife, don’t worry. They had no evidence. What’s more, the person handling this case is my second brother’s friend."
"In that case, shouldn’t you bring some gifts to thank him? After all, we don’t know him. What if he wants us to bring something over?" Lu Jueyu asked again.
To her, it’s not uncommon for people with authority to expect so-called ’thank you gifts’. After all, in this day and age, the practice is common despite the government’s emphasis that bribery is a crime.
After thinking about it, Li Chenmo said, "I’ll bring a few packs of cigarettes. That should be enough."
"Alright. Then, come back early after you are done with your business." Lu Jueyu nodded.
"Mhmm, lock the door, and don’t go out alone." Li Chenmo said, leaning over and kissing her.
Lu Jueyu nodded and said with a smile, "En, don’t worry. Husband, be careful on the road."
After Li Chenmo left on his bicycle, Lu Jueyu locked all the doors, then went to the backyard and continued cleaning the oysters. Time flew by while she was busy making oyster sauce.
