Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 610 The Loyal Husband of a Wife Who Supports Her Brother (19)

After finding the foreman and reporting to the police, Chen Runming walked back happily. He didn't expect that Ding Chaowei was so generous and even treated him to a meal.

Chen Runming initially said that he didn't want to go at all, but he couldn't resist Ding Chaowei's enthusiasm, and Chen Xuyan also said in advance that the other party might treat him.

So, he and Ding Chaowei first explained the matter with the Wen family to the police, and then went to a state-owned restaurant to have a good meal.

Ding Chaowei also packed a portion of braised pork for him when he sent him off.

He ate a whole plate of this dish by himself. After he finished, Ding Chaowei served him another portion, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

I didn’t expect that when I was about to go back, he actually packed a portion for himself.

He didn't take the contractor's words to heart. If things didn't work out, he could just find another job. After all, he still had his hands and feet, and he still had some strength. What couldn't he do?

The pressure to repay the debt is not that great now. Even if the weather is too cold to work, the family savings are enough to pay it back for half a year.

Actually, I can pay it off in one go. There are less than fifty dollars left in total. I can just borrow some money from my brother and pay it off.

But Xu Xiaomo and he both had a scale in their hearts. They really couldn't be without money. If they were without money and couldn't come up with the money when something happened, it would be really troublesome.

Who knows what will happen tomorrow?

Just like this time when Chen Xuyan was seriously injured, if he didn’t have this money, he might have died.

What if it was my own family?

Chen Runming walked very fast when he was alone, and this time he returned before noon.

—Chen Family

It was still very early when Xu Xiaomo finished his work in the fields, and the brothers Chen Bingzhong and Chen Bingwen had almost prepared the meal.

In the morning, the whole family is used to eating the leftovers from the previous night, and for lunch, they basically have to cook from scratch.

Chen Bingzhong skillfully used two earthen stoves to steam rice and cook dishes, while Chen Bingwen followed his instructions and added firewood. The two no longer felt that this was a boring job, and the pot was no longer filled with inedible food like before.

Because they have meat for every meal these two days, how can they not look forward to it?

Her uncle bought too much meat, and her mother was reluctant to cook it all for them at once, so she basically put a little bit in each meal.

Although I am getting more and more greedy for food, the amount is never enough, but the anticipation is obviously greater after having meat. The meat in the dish is really delicious.

For lunch like today when mom is out, they can put more meat in the food they cook, but they dare not put too much because it will be too obvious and mom will definitely get angry.

Maybe all the meat will be locked up later.

It would be great if Dad could buy some meat or meat buns today. My second uncle said that person might treat us to a meal. Wouldn’t it be great if we could pack up the leftovers?

After finishing the meal, only the lard squeezed by my mother is left, and the lard is also delicious when used to cook food!

His mother is so stingy that she definitely wouldn't be willing to take it out unless his second uncle was around.

"Not done yet?" Xu Xiaomo hunched over and scrubbed the mud off his legs.

"Okay, serve it out of the pot right away." The two didn't dare to delay any longer. One of them finished inside while the other went to move out the tables and chairs.

When the weather is good, they always sit outside to eat, as it is more spacious. Anyway, their wall is high, so other people can't see anything.
