"No, it's hard to take everyone's things. We have them at home." Meng Li declined politely.
"Lu Mu, please return the things to the villagers quickly."
But this was a downhill road, and Lu Mu couldn't leave the wheelchair. The villagers had all run away, and he couldn't remember who gave it to him, so he was also very embarrassed.
"Girl of the Meng family, fellow villagers, please don't be polite to me. You are so thin. You need to take more nourishment." An aunt said kindly.
"It's not like you can't move your legs at all. Only when you have a full stomach can you be healthy." Another aunt also said.
Everyone stayed a little far away, for fear that Lu Mu would return the things to them.
Meng Li's eyes were a little red.
In the farming novels she had read, the folks she met during time travel were all mean and weird, and made all kinds of troubles. Only after experiencing it personally did she know that there were many good people.
When I was approaching the river, I saw a slender girl standing at a turning intersection. She seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, holding a handkerchief in her hand, as if she was calming down.
She turned around slowly, with shame and grievance on her beautiful face.
"Lu Mu, our two families are about to get married. You turn around and marry someone else, making me the laughing stock. Are you worthy of me?"
As she spoke, tears couldn't help rolling down, and the pear blossoms were dripping with rain, so pitiful.
Meng Li asked Lu Mu out of curiosity: "Who is this?"
Just as Lu Mu was about to speak, the girl stared at Meng Li with round eyes and said indignantly.
"Meng Li, you want to celebrate the wedding. There are many lame and pockmarked bachelors in the village. I'll pick them out for you. Send them to your house alone. How unlucky. Lu Mu could have married a nice girl normally."
Meng Li was enjoying herself, but the other party said that she was unhappy. With her, Meng Li should marry those bachelors that no one wants?
"The lame and pockmarked ones, I think, are more suitable for you. Since Lu Mu has become the husband-in-law of our Meng family, you can choose from those people."
Zhang Qiaoer could be considered a flower in the village. She was usually held up and protected by the younger generation. She trembled all over after hearing these words.
"Haha, I don't know how high the world is. I advise you, four orphans in your family, to be wiser. Now that you have woken up, make peace with Lu Mu and let him go free. Our Zhang family will not give up on this matter."
When Zhang Qiaoer saw that Lu Mu was silent, she thought that he must be very humiliated, and she was more confident.
"Look at how you look now. You're as thin as a skeleton and you're still lame on one leg. How can you be worthy of Lu Mu? If you have any conscience, ask Liu Xiucai to write a letter of resignation. Don't delay Lu Mu."
Meng Li looked at Lu Mu: "Do you want to be free?"
Lu Mu's eyelids moved: "No."
These two words are such an understatement, but they are very firm.
After he finished speaking, he pushed the wheelchair around Zhang Qiaoer and walked forward.
Zhang Qiaoer was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that Lu Mu would reject her for an ugly girl with a limp. She thought that Lu Mu was forced by his family to become the husband of the Meng family, but she could not see that he was forced at all.
"Lu Mu." Zhang Qiaoer stamped her feet angrily.
Lu Mu didn't seem to hear, and pushed Meng Li to a ridge. He picked up the wheelchair, lowered it down the ridge, then turned around a bamboo forest and disappeared.
Meng Li glanced at Lu Mu. She wanted to ask Lu Mu, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. Even if Lu Mu and the girl were in love before marriage, they would get married once they got married. He also expressed his position just now that he wanted to stay in the Meng family. .
She has no control over things before marriage. After marriage, just keep to yourself. If you are attracted to someone, don't go too far. Make it clear to her. If she makes it happen, everyone will have face.
Lu Mu thought Meng Li was going to ask, but she didn't ask, so he swallowed his words. It was not good to take the initiative to mention other women after getting married.
Passing a place where bamboo branches were hanging down, Lu Mu first lifted up those branches before passing.
The river is right next to the bamboo forest. It is spring now and there are new greens on both sides of the river bank. There are many sandbars and reeds growing on the river channel.
The river is not deep, and many boys are fishing in it. However, the fish have been touched for a long time, and the boys' buckets are empty.
Looking at the situation, I need to recuperate for a while.
"I told you there are no fish." Lu Mu said, "Just think of it as a way to relax."
"I guess there is." Meng Li said, "You take the harpoon and go down to the river."
Seeing her serious look, Lu Mu actually rolled up his trouser legs. What else could he do? Of course, he would show it to her.
He had been to this river several times in the past few days, but there were really no fish, so Lu Mu raised his harpoon and stabbed it anywhere.
Lifting the harpoon, nothing gained.
Lu Mu walked a few more steps, stabbed again, but found no fish, then stabbed again——
Meng Li watched his performance quietly and almost couldn't help laughing.
Lu Mu stabbed the harpoon more than a dozen times and felt it was enough. He lifted the harpoon and stuck it upside down in the water: "Look -"
Puff puff, something was thrown in his face.
Lu Mu looked at the sky, and it wasn't raining either.
Meng Li covered her mouth and smiled: "You said there are no fish, what is this?"
Lu Mu followed her gaze and discovered that there was a bass on the harpoon, weighing about two kilograms, and it was flicking its tail desperately.
The man was a little surprised. When the river thawed in spring, dozens of people went into the river every day. Now it is difficult to find fish, and it is almost impossible to find fish weighing two kilograms.
In the blink of an eye, he got it.
This bass gave him confidence. He threw the bass into the bucket and continued to fumble in the river.
Meng Li had had enough fun just now and stopped playing with him. He put one here and one there, including grass carp, black fish, and mandarin fish.
Lu Mu didn't have time to think, he raised his fork and stabbed it accurately. Soon the bucket was half full.
Not far away, the children who had been busy for a long time and got nothing were dumbfounded, and they hurried over.
"Brother Lu Mu, please teach me why you can find fish."
"Yes, yes, we haven't eaten fish for a long time."
