After paying his respects, Dong Li looked at Chen Gang and said, "Uncle Chen Gang, I came to visit Chen Jianmin and wanted to invite him to my house for lunch. I wonder if it’s possible for him to come with me?"
Chen Gang was stunned when he heard his words. He didn’t know when the relationship between his son and Dong Li got so close. Although he was surprised, he was still happy to know that his son had a friend.
His son has had many acquaintances since he was a child, but none of them can be considered friends. Today, he finally can feel at ease. Even if it was just one person, he would be happy for his son.
"Of course! Ah Min is resting in his room. Nephew, please come with me," Chen Gang said with a smile.
Although today is the burial date of Grandpa Chen, given Chen Jianmin’s situation, it is impossible for him to climb the mountain and follow them to the burial place. In this case, why not let him go with Dong Li and have fun with his friends.
When leading him toward his home, Chen Gang said, "Thank you, nephew."
Dong Li was confused by his sudden thanks and asked, "Uncle Chen, why did you thank me suddenly?"
"It’s for the ointment you gave my wife before. Thanks to this, my son’s injury has gotten a lot better," Chen Gang explained.
Dong Li glanced at him and thought in his heart, ’This man seems honest and simple. How could a man like him have a son as cunning and ruthless as Chen Jianmin?’
"That is just leftover ointment. My sister gave it to Chen Jianmin. So Uncle Chen doesn’t need to thank me," Dong Li said.
Seeing his calm and polite look, Chen Gang’s impression of Dong Li increased several times. At the same time, his disgust and disdain towards Gou Dan also increased several times.
He didn’t understand how he could beat such outstanding people as Dong Li and his sister and keep finding fault with them. Not to mention they were younger than him and didn’t provoke him. In the final analysis, the problem still lies in the environment in which Gou Dan grew up and his upbringing.
Not long after, they arrived at Chen Gang’s house. He opened the door and said, "Nephew, please come in."
Dong Li followed him in and looked at the house. Although the house is small and the furniture is old, it looks neat and clean and gives him the feeling of a warm, happy family.
Just from the situation at home, he knew that the second branch of the Chen family was different from the main branch. Except for Chen Jianmin, the other members of the second branch should be simple-minded people.
"Ah Min, your friend is here to see you," Cheng Gang said as he opened the bedroom’s door.
Hearing his voice, Dong Li came back to his senses. When he entered the bedroom, he saw that Chen Jianmin’s face was swollen like a pig, and one of his eyes was swollen into a slit.
