Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 143 This was given to you by your Grandpa Lü, eat it quickly!
On rainy days, Lü Da's leg ailment worsened.

The wheat harvest was just around the corner, and the rain hadn't stopped all night.

If this continues, the wheat in the field will sprout.

He was extremely worried. He had just been lying in bed for a while when he was awakened by Chen Bingxiao's knocking on the door.

Seeing that the village head's expression was not good and that his two grandsons remained silent for a long time, Chen Bingxiao could only say, "Village head, please let us in first, let's talk inside."

With a dark expression, Lü Da led the three people into the house. When the village head's wife and daughter-in-law saw them come in, they immediately brought over a pile of food.

They've made a lot of money digging konjac these days, and they're spending more lavishly on food than ever before.

When Ma Gan and Ma Yong saw the jujube paste cake on the plate, their mouths involuntarily began to water.

Chen Bingxiao was also stunned; he had assumed that everyone in the village lived the same kind of life.

They usually eat wild vegetable porridge, and occasionally bring back some wild game from the mountains.

If all else fails, we can cut some green wheat and cook it.

It's rare for farmers to waste food like this, but the Chen family is an exception.

They didn't want to eat wild vegetable porridge every day, couldn't hunt wild game, and were unwilling to go out and carry heavy loads to earn money.

They set their sights on the crops in the fields.

Ma Gan and Ma Yong ate wild vegetable porridge for a long time, until their faces turned green.

Yesterday we ate boiled green wheat, and the two of us ate so much that we couldn't sleep all night.

Seeing the jujube paste cake at the village head's house now, I realize how miserable my life has been.

"Gan'er, Yong'er, this is what your Grandpa Lü gave you, eat it quickly!"

Chen Bingxiao picked up the plate and gave each of his two grandsons a piece of jujube paste cake.

The two gratefully accepted it and quickly stuffed it into their stomachs.

The jujube paste cake was soft, fragrant, and delicious, but there wasn't enough of it; it was gone in just a few bites.

The two turned around and saw Chen Bingxiao eating directly from the plate. He wolfed down his food, and because he ate too fast and too hastily, something got stuck in his throat and his face turned red. He had no choice but to stretch his neck and try to swallow it down.

Lu Da looked at the three of them, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

Eat, eat, eat! Coming here to beg for food? How shameful!

The jujube paste cake was brought by Li Ruru. He hadn't even eaten a few pieces before this old man ate them all.

He cursed inwardly, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Chen Bingxiao choke to death.

He could only push the water glass on the table and say, "Chen Laoliu, eat less and drink more water."

Chen Bingxiao picked up his water glass, gulped it down a few times, and then burped.

"Oh, village head, you're too kind of you to treat me to such good things."

Lu Da smoked his pipe in silence. When he entertained others, they would only eat a piece symbolically, unlike Chen Laoliu.

He's like a starving ghost; even two half-grown boys can't compete with him, a grandfather.

He's a really good grandfather; he always puts the best things in his own stomach first.

"Chen Laoliu, what's the matter?" Lu Da just wanted to get rid of these three annoying guys as soon as possible.

Chen Bingxiao's beard was covered in crumbs from eating, and when he opened his mouth, the jujube paste left in his mouth even turned his originally black teeth a jujube red.

"I want to change Gan'er and Yong'er's surnames."

He wiped his mouth and carefully licked the gaps between his teeth with his tongue before saying, "This isn't difficult, is it?"

Seeing that Lü Da remained silent with a dark expression, Chen Bingxiao rolled his eyes inwardly.

Why is he so stingy? He only ate a few pieces of jujube cake, and he's already giving him the cold shoulder.

In terms of seniority, Lu Da should have to call him uncle, hmph!

Lu Da exhaled a puff of smoke in frustration and asked, "Why change anything that's perfectly fine?"

It's just a surname.

Changing a name like Da Tang is relatively simple, but changing the surname is more troublesome.

"Why should we change it?" Chen Bingxiao's eyes widened, spittle flying everywhere. "Are they eating the food of the Chen family, and yet they have to act like grandsons to other families?"

In his view, as long as Ma Gan and Ma Yong do not change their surnames, they will not be the great grandsons of the Chen family.

“The third son’s wife also agreed.” He knew the law very well; Lü Da couldn’t fool him.

Logically, changing surnames requires the consent of Ma Gan and Ma Yong's father, but their father has long since passed away, so the person who can make the decision is naturally Zhang Junniang.

Zhang Junniang was driven by money; she didn't care much about her son's surname, since he wouldn't take hers anyway. If Chen Bingxiao insisted on changing it, then so be it.

She agreed to change her son's surname, but was unwilling to go through the trouble of handling the matter.

And so, the job fell to Chen Bingxiao, because he valued surnames the most.

Seeing that the village head still didn't speak, he added, "My son agrees too."

Although Zhang Junniang is the biological mother of two children, she is now married to Sanbao, so Sanbao should be the one in charge of the household.

Since all three have agreed, this matter should be easy to handle.

Lu Da said slowly, "Whether your son agrees, your daughter-in-law agrees, or even if your whole family agrees, it won't make a difference."

"Lü Da, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

Chen Bingxiao's beard trembled with anger. He ignored what Lü Da said about his whole family and only focused on himself.

This Lü Da has never given him a kind look since he walked in, and now he's saying such things, isn't that just looking down on him?

Lu Da looked at Chen Bingxiao with amusement, who was sticking his neck out as if he was about to fight him to the death. He simply said, "Ma Gan and Ma Yong, they are now surnamed Ma. If you want to change your surname, you should go to the village head of Ma Family Village."

Instead of coming to his house and rudely eating all his jujube paste cake.

People who act like they're in charge when they need favors are the ones Lü Da never tolerates.

He directly told him to leave: "I'm sorry, I can't help you. You'd better hurry to Majia Village before it gets dark."

Chen Bingxiao and the other two were coaxed out. Ma Gan asked, "Grandpa, shall we go to Ma Family Village now?"

"Go my ass, it's raining so hard, how can we go?"

-

Li Ruru's home.

She carefully checked several rooms and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no leaks.

The family had just finished lunch and were sitting together eating sunflower seeds and chatting.

Looking at the water flowing down the eaves and into the two newly built canals, Xiao Yishan said, "These canals are really well built."

The canal was built by his godmother, and Chu Xiu led people to build two canals directly.

Then she remembered that Chu Xiu had said yesterday that he would come back today, but there was no sign of him at all.

He muttered, "I wonder when Master Chu will be back."

With him around, the house is always lively; he loves to talk, laugh, and joke.

Now that he's not here, Xiao Yishan wants to liven things up, but he doesn't know what to say. He just hates that his personality is so unlikable.

Li Ruru grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and said, "The rain has stopped, he should be back soon."

With the rain so heavy, it's difficult and unsafe for the carriage to travel.

Chu Xiu's family is wealthy, and he won't be cold or hungry when he goes home, so Li Ruru doesn't need to worry too much.

Chaochao looked at the sky with worry, "I don't know when this rain will stop."

Li Ruru glanced at the space; the notification on the LCD screen had turned black and red.

The downpour finally came, and although she was somewhat prepared, she was still a little worried.

I'm worried that this rain really won't stop.

Every extra day of rain means one less day of earnings.

"Cough cough cough," Peipei suddenly coughed while Li Ruru was in a daze.

Chaochao patted her back and brought her a cup of hot water: "Have some."

Peipei took a big gulp of water before she felt a little warmer.

"Are you alright?" Chaochao asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, it's just an old problem..." Peipei said with a wry smile.

She hadn't coughed in a long time and thought she was better.

"cough cough"

Peipei suddenly started coughing uncontrollably, breathing with difficulty as she opened her mouth.

Li Ruru's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said to Xiao Yishan, "Quickly go and invite Doctor Chen."
