Chapter 250 A Strange Feeling

When he called someone an idiot, Lu Mingdong didn't feel anything.

Afterwards, he thought of Lu Yuanqing's words.

Driven by curiosity and a vague, unspoken feeling, he wanted to become a live-in son-in-law in the Cheng family.

But will Cheng Xia agree?

"I won't agree!" Cheng Xia's calm tone showed no fluctuation.

"Bai..." Lu Mingdong swallowed, then continued, "Why?"

Cheng Xia smiled at him, acting like an older sister, "Xiao Dong, your sister and I are friends, and I've always treated you like a younger brother."

Even if she were to get married, and even if very few people would agree to come to her home, she couldn't let her best friend's younger brother suffer.

Being a live-in son-in-law doesn't have a good reputation.

Lu Mingdong snorted coldly, "So what? You want to get married and don't want to leave your home. And I've agreed to be a live-in son-in-law, and our future children will take your surname, Cheng. I don't think you should refuse me!"

"Anyone who refuses is an idiot," Lu Mingdong thought to himself.

The person who had always treated her like a younger brother was talking about having children to her face. Cheng Xia felt awkward for a moment, but then she heard his confident words.

Cheng Xia couldn't help but laugh. She not only laughed, but also tapped his head and said, "My family is not bad either. Even though my father can't do heavy work now, thanks to my third uncle, we don't have any problems with life. If we can't find anyone in this village, there are still families in other production teams who are in difficulty and don't mind."

Having been back in the village for several days, Cheng Xia asked Lu Yuanbo to help take Cheng He to the hospital for a thorough examination using a tractor.

I learned about Cheng He's current physical condition from the doctor himself.

She won't be able to do heavy work anymore, but if she takes good care of herself, she can still live a long time.

This result is already a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune, and Cheng Xia is already very content.

Besides, if she is well cared for, the people in other production teams might have trouble.

But their Shihua Village truly lived up to Cheng Xia's words; thanks to Lu Yuanqing, their annual dividends were quite substantial.

With the savings he's accumulated over the years and the compensation the village has given him, Cheng He can recuperate without any burden.

Now that Cheng Xia is of marriageable age, she is ready to settle down and start a family.

She had no aversion to such a major life event, but she couldn't let go of Cheng He, so her only thought was to find a husband to live with her.

There's no way she would abandon Cheng He and marry someone else on her own.

Moreover, the facts are as Cheng Xia herself said.

Families with good financial situations, especially the villagers of Shihua Village, regardless of their thoughts or how they viewed Cheng Xia and the Cheng family, would never agree to their children marrying into the Cheng family.

But in the production brigades near Shihua Village, many families were poor. When they couldn't even get enough to eat, what did reputation matter?

“I’m better than them!” Lu Mingdong continued, his mind working quickly, highlighting his advantages.

People who would disregard their reputation to come to your door are bound to have a lot of bad qualities.

Lu Mingdong silently compared the options in his mind and still felt that Cheng Xia choosing him was the wise move.

His family has no burdens and didn't approach the Cheng family because they think the Cheng family is rich, so they don't want anything from the Cheng family.

Furthermore, for the sake of Lu Mingxi and Cheng Xia, and for the sake of the relationship between the Lu and Cheng families, the Lu family will not allow Lu Mingdong to let Cheng Xia down, and the Cheng family will not mistreat Lu Mingdong either.

Cheng Xia refused to agree to something that seemed to have only benefits and no drawbacks.

Cheng Xia smiled and shook her head, then boldly pinched Lu Mingdong's cheek.

She used to think that it must have felt very comfortable when her third uncle pinched Lu Mingdong's face, otherwise he wouldn't have done it so often.

She had witnessed Lu Mingxi and Lu Mingdong fighting. When the fight ended and the action froze, Lu Mingxi grabbed his face and pulled his chubby face far away, which looked painful.

But no matter the scenario, Cheng Xia subconsciously had one thought—if she had the chance to pinch it, she would definitely want to experience the feeling.

Now that she finally mustered the courage to pinch him, Cheng Xia's mind was no longer on how his cheek felt, but on her panic.

Yes, that's right.

I just feel anxious.

While she was talking to Lu Mingdong about marriage, she couldn't help but find it funny.

It was as if her younger brother, whom she had known since childhood, suddenly came to tell her that he wanted to start a family with her. She found it funny and interesting, and felt that the other person was also laughing.

But at that very moment, as she pinched his cheek with her right hand, wanting to express her feelings, she met his gaze as he looked at her quietly. All her emotions were drawn into the depths of his eyes.

My heart suddenly went out of control, and I was no longer calm as usual.

"Uh, um, Xiao Dong, I don't know why you suddenly brought this up. I don't think you're the kind of person who would compromise yourself for sympathy or any other reason. So, I'll pretend I don't know anything about this, and don't mention it again!"

After saying that, Cheng Xia turned around and ran a couple of steps, then paused, but didn't look back, and continued walking away as usual.

Only after watching Cheng Xia disappear from sight did Lu Mingdong raise his hand in a daze and touch the spot where Cheng Xia had pinched him.

He admitted that when he first told Lu Yuanqing that he was going to visit the Cheng family, his curiosity and desire to verify the information largely dominated his decision.

Moreover, in the dream, he seemed to have caused great harm to the Cheng family. That Lu Mingdong seemed to be himself, yet he also seemed not to be him.

Well, so guilt also played a small part.

Making such an unbelievable decision based on a dream, without considering anything else, is something only Lu Mingdong could do so carelessly.

Others don't even believe in things that happen in dreams.

He not only believed it, but also began to doubt other things.

When he told Cheng Xia, he could still assure her that he would not have any strange feelings for her after he was free from the torment of the dream.

The reason was the same as Cheng Xia's rejection of him.

The two of them were too familiar with each other. They had known each other since childhood and had witnessed all sorts of embarrassing and embarrassing moments.

Most importantly, they were a few years apart in age; Cheng Xia was three years older than him.

Under such circumstances.

In their daily interactions, one subconsciously places herself in the role of the older sister, while the other subconsciously considers the other to be just a good friend of her older sister.

In such a clear-cut relationship, it takes a catalyst to break the ice and develop any romantic feelings.

Cheng Xia suddenly reached out her hand just now.

It wasn't just Cheng Xia herself who was shocked.

Even Lu Mingdong, whose face was being pinched, felt a strange sensation.

It felt different when her third uncle pulled her, and it also felt different when Lu Mingxi pulled her during their fight.

Lu Mingdong touched his cheek, which didn't hurt at all, and his gaze became even more determined.
