Chapter 45: Boiled Radish
"Is this rebellious son so good?" Lu Changqing couldn't believe it. He didn't believe that Lu Yuan would become a good person so quickly.

"Of course it's that good. Moreover, he now says that all things are inferior except reading. He has stopped doing business and devoted himself to reading."

"real!"

"Of course it's true. I'm studying in Qiuyue's yard right now!"

Lu's mother concealed from Lu Yuan that she had replaced his ceramic water jar with a priceless glass water jar.

It is said that this will allow him to see the fish he raises more clearly.

Lu Yuan is now studying and raising fish.

Are you studying seriously?

Mother Lu didn't dare to ask, for fear that if she did, Lu Yuan would be unhappy and return to his old self.

"He has grown up after this ordeal. It seems that this woman Liu Ping has dealt him a heavy blow.

Liu Ping has made a great contribution to his reformation!"

It was also from Wei Yunsheng that Lu Changqing learned that Lu Yuan actually let Liu Ping perform in the brothel instead of selling her body.

Liu Ping was not forced at all.

As for those immoral clothes, they were all thought up by Liu Ping.

Not only were all the women in the brothel willing to come forward and testify.

Liu Ping himself did not deny it.

In this case, Lu Yuan is actually quite nice to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was not abused.

Liu Ping had clearly been sold to Lu Yuan, but she still dared to escape secretly and even have an affair with Wang Fugui.

Knowing the truth, Lu Changqing couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Yuan in his heart.

Although Lu Yuan did a lot of bad things, he was really good to Liu Ping. Not only did he spend 12,000 taels of gold, but even when Liu Ping ran away, he did not make things difficult for Liu Ping.

I guess this must be the legendary good is rewarded with good and evil is punished with evil. Lu Yuan did too many bad things and finally it was Liu Ping's turn to get the retribution.

It’s not that I won’t retaliate, the time has not yet come!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Yuan'er was persuaded to come back by Qiuyue, and he built the road to make Qiuyue feel more comfortable when she wants to go back to her parents' home.

Everything you think is true or false is for you.

When that woman first entered the mansion, she was disrespectful to Qiuyue.

Yuan'er said a few words softly, saying that Qiuyue was his wife, and the woman couldn't stand it and ran away.

Then she was sent back, and Yuaner didn't even look at her. If you hadn't picked her up halfway, Yuaner wouldn't have cared about her at all."

When Mother Lu heard that Father Lu was going to praise Liu Ping, she became furious.

"I didn't even touch your Miss Liu at all, she was lying on the ground wailing, and you rushed in and took her away.

You are not as good as Yuan'er in this respect. Yuan'er knows how to protect his wife."

Speaking of this, Mother Lu felt a little aggrieved.

"Ma'am, I was wrong. Thank you for letting bygones be bygones and helping me find a craftsman to make a waterwheel."

"I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for the people of Shengguo."

"I, Lu Changqing, am truly blessed to be able to marry a woman like you."

…………

After this incident, the relationship between Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu became even better.

But during dinner, Mother Lu's mood was obviously not so good.

"Father, Mother, I personally prepared these meals for you today.

The boy spent a lot of money to redeem Liu Ping, and now he has to build a road for his father, which has basically emptied the family's savings. He even sold several shops just to help his father find a craftsman to build a waterwheel.

Now that my family is poor, I am afraid that we can’t afford meat. Don’t worry, even if I don’t study anymore, I will go to earn money to buy meat for my father and mother.”

As Lu Yuan spoke, he brought out the boiled white radish that he had carefully prepared.

He really cooked it himself, without adding salt, oil, or anything else, except white radish. Mother Lu's face darkened.

Father Lu held Mother Lu down and said to Lu Yuan, "During the years of disaster, there was nothing to eat and we could only eat dirt.

As long as you are willing to study hard at home, what's wrong with eating these things every day? "

He had long felt that Lu Yuan would not get better so quickly.

Sure enough, there is another trick here.

They are just some white radishes. There's nothing wrong with eating them lightly, as long as Lu Yuan doesn't put some weird things in them.

As long as Lu Yuan can get better, it doesn’t matter if he eats worse.

Father Lu immediately stood up and scooped himself a bowl of white radish.

He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It had no taste at all. He could tell at one bite that there was no salt and it was simply boiled in water.

The taste is indeed not very good, but it is acceptable. It is better to have no salt than to add too much salt and choke to death.

When Mother Lu saw that Father Lu had finished eating, she immediately filled a bowl as well.

"When the sun is high in the sky, I am hoeing the field, and my sweat drips down to the ground. Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work?

Father, these are the crops that the farmers have grown with great effort. I hope you won’t waste them.

Don’t worry, there is still rice. You won’t be full just by eating radishes.

My son knows this.

My son also ate radish, but with a little bit of meat added.

Qiuyue and my son need to prepare for pregnancy, take care of their health, and have children for our Lu family, so it’s not too much for the two of us to eat a little bit!”

"It's not too much, but your mother is not in good health, so let her eat some. I will eat all these white radishes."

Lu Changqing held down Lu's mother who was about to say something.

Lu Changqing saw the pot of soup that Lu Yuan brought out, in which the aroma of meat and the fragrance of radish blended perfectly together.

It’s not a precious dish, it’s just stewed radish with bones.

But it is particularly fragrant and tempting.

He could choose not to eat, but he couldn't make his wife suffer by not eating anything as well.

"Changqing, I've had some indigestion lately, and I just wanted to eat something light."

Mother Lu rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan as she spoke.

She really just spoke well of Lu Yuan in vain.

It’s just a white radish, there’s nothing wrong with eating it.

Mother Lu watched Lu Yuan eat the white radish in big mouthfuls and scoop out all the meat for Xu Qiuyue to eat.

She suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Lu Yuan doesn't eat white radish.

But now he is eating white radish and giving all the meat to Xu Qiuyue.

It is conceivable how much Lu Yuan likes Xu Qiuyue.

Love can really change a person. Although it cannot change him completely, changing half of him is enough.

She originally thought that Lu Yuan didn't like Xu Qiuyue, but now it seems that Lu Yuan really likes Xu Qiuyue.

I'm afraid even Liu Ping can't make Lu Yuan do this.

Xu Qiuyue looked at the eager eyes of Lu's father and mother and lost her appetite.

It can be seen that both of them want to eat meat.

In fact, boiled white radish is not delicious. It has a strong radish smell, and no salt is added. You can imagine how it tastes.

But when the flavor of radish and meat is blended together, the taste becomes particularly delicious, very sweet and tastes exceptionally good.

Xu Qiuyue actually wanted to add some pickled radish, but Lu Yuan wouldn't let her.
