Chapter 381: So Delicious

"Don't eat my hand." Chen Yu said, between laughter and tears.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Yu Sichen's face turned beet red instantly. She hurriedly let go of Chen Yu's hand; that action just now was truly mortifying.

She snuck a glance at Chen Yu: "I've never eaten anything this delicious."

"It's fine, just peel them like this, be careful not to hurt your hands," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Okay." Yu Sichen nodded, then quickly got the hang of it, and a large portion of crayfish was soon swept away like a whirlwind.

She picked up her beer, clinked glasses with Chen Yu, and took a large gulp. The ice-cold, refreshing sensation made her feel invigorated from head to toe.

"Here, have a lamb skewer." Chen Yu handed it to her: "A bite of meat, a sip of beer—there is no peak of life quite like this."

"Thank you." Yu Sichen took the lamb skewer. With one bite, her mouth was full of oil; the cumin combined with the spicy flavor stimulated her taste buds, leaving her unable to stop.

"Chen Yu, this is too delicious, really too delicious." Yu Sichen said, slurring her words while eating: "I haven't eaten dinner since I was sixteen."

"And what I usually eat are formal meals; I've never eaten anything this tasty."

"You are a little Angel, usually up in the heavens, but sometimes it's good to get in touch with the earth," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Chen Yu, thank you for bringing me here. I really have never experienced a life like this." Yu Sichen raised her glass: "A toast to you."

"Good." Chen Yu raised his glass and clinked it with Yu Sichen's.

"Yo, isn't this Chen Yu?" Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out from the side: "Do you still recognize me?"

Chen Yu turned his head to look and saw a delivery man, about fifty years old, driving a tricycle; it looked like he had just finished a delivery.

"It's Uncle Zhou, long time no see." Chen Yu hesitated for a long time before reacting.

A neighbor from the same village named Zhou Wei had been struggling to make a living in Fengling all these years, considering himself quite remarkable and looking down on the people back home.

"That's right, the kid still remembers his uncle." Zhou Wei laughed loudly. He walked to Chen Yu's side and said: "Chen Yu, I heard you're doing pretty well in Fengling."

"It's alright," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Alright? You kid are lucky. I heard you married a young lady from an Aristocratic Family and lived a carefree life for a few years?" Zhou Wei didn't care if there were people around Chen Yu; he pulled up a stool and sat down directly.

"But I heard you recently got divorced, and you didn't even get custody of the child. Is that true?"

Zhou Wei's words caused a sharp pain in Chen Yu's heart. He raised his head and said calmly: "Uncle Zhou, have you eaten? If not, let's have some together."

"Heh heh, I've already eaten. I'm asking you a question—is that true or not?" Zhou Wei chuckled.

"Is it that important?" Chen Yu frowned in displeasure. People from his hometown were just like this: they laughed at the poor and hated the rich; seeing your life go poorly made them happy immediately.

"It's not important, haha. Although I haven't gone back, I've heard your dad's tail has been wagging in the sky lately."

Zhou Wei laughed loudly: "Why is he so proud? Isn't it just because he thought his son married a young lady from an Aristocratic Family as a wife? Well, how is it now? Beaten back to your original form, right?"

"Uncle Zhou, if you have nothing else, go do your work." Chen Yu frowned; he didn't want to lower himself to the level of this fool, but he hadn't expected this guy to become even more unscrupulous.

"I'm fine. I just wanted to see how you're actually doing now. Your wife is gone, and with your family's conditions, I'm afraid you'll be a bachelor for the rest of your life." Zhou Wei became even more unscrupulous.

"Hubby, I'm full. Let's go home and sleep." At this moment, Yu Sichen put down the things in her hand and said to Chen Yu in a gentle tone.

"???" Chen Yu was full of question marks, looking at Yu Sichen in a daze.

"Is this someone from your hometown?" Yu Sichen walked to Chen Yu's side, took his arm, and shook him.

"Yes, yes, someone from my hometown. I've always called him Uncle Zhou." Chen Yu reacted.

"Hello, Uncle Zhou. I am Chen Yu's girlfriend. We will be getting married in a while." Yu Sichen held Chen Yu's arm and leaned against his shoulder.

"You... are his girlfriend?" Zhou Wei was stunned.

Yu Sichen was truly beautiful; she had the looks, she had the temperament, and her tone of voice was unhurried. This was likely the kind of upbringing only a young lady from an Aristocratic Family would have.

But what kind of virtue or ability did this scum Chen Yu have? Never mind the previous wife from a scholarly Aristocratic Family, now he found another one who was even better and more beautiful?

"That's right, Uncle Zhou. My Chen Yu is low-key, but that doesn't mean he is useless. You can rest assured about our marriage; you must come to drink at our wedding." Yu Sichen smiled slightly.

Zhou Wei felt unhappy. Thinking of his own sons, all in their thirties and unmarried, he felt stifled inside at the thought that Chen Yu was about to have a second spring.

"Hubby, let's go." Yu Sichen pulled Chen Yu up and said.

"Okay, let's go back." Chen Yu nodded, stood up, and was about to leave with Yu Sichen.

"Chen Yu, this wife of yours wouldn't be rented with money, would she?" Originally, it would have been fine if Chen Yu had just left, but Zhou Wei still couldn't swallow this bitterness in his heart.

"Uncle Zhou, what do you mean by that?" Chen Yu turned his head and asked.

"What do I mean? I don't believe you kid have such good fortune, with so many beautiful women throwing themselves at you?" Zhou Wei sneered: "To put it nicely, she's rented; to put it bluntly, she's a kept woman, right?"

"Heh, these women nowadays, especially the beautiful ones, none of them have any self-respect. They all cling to rich men. Do you know how many men have slept with this wife of yours before?" Zhou Wei stood up and stared at Yu Sichen, speaking indignantly.

"Take back what you just said and apologize to her. If I don't teach you a lesson today, don't even think about leaving this food stall on your own two feet." Chen Yu's face sank instantly.

He could tolerate him mocking him a few times, but Chen Yu could not forgive him for insulting Yu Sichen like this.

Such an Angel-like girl, how could he say such filthy words?

"Heh, Chen Yu, I hit the nail on the head, didn't I?" Zhou Wei laughed when he saw Chen Yu's expression: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more base she is. As long as you give her money, she'll do anything."

Zhou Wei sneered: "You're at ease with this kind of woman sleeping by your bed? Don't you know your head is already covered in countless green hats?"

Chen Yu said nothing. Suddenly, he turned around, spread his five fingers, and swung a heavy slap toward Zhou Wei.

With a thud, Zhou Wei knocked over the pile of goods he had just unloaded and screamed while his body twisted.

"Chen Yu... don't lose your temper. He's just being sharp-tongued." Yu Sichen hurriedly stopped Chen Yu.

Although she was very angry, her upbringing was excellent, so in her view, resorting to violence over this matter was inappropriate.

"No, you don't understand." Chen Yu shook his head and said: "These people are different from the world you live in. You can never reason with them. Sichen, you've been well-protected since you were little, so you don't know the dangers of this world."

"There are just too many people like this grandson. They will treat your kindness like a fart, and then they will become even more unscrupulous."

"Chen Yu, you dare hit me?" Zhou Wei roared hoarsely: "My three sons are all nearby. I'll have them come over and hack you into mincemeat."
