Chapter 254 Rumors are not credible
"Lingling, is everything ready outside?" Mother Lu noticed Fu Ling with her sharp eyes and called her.
"Mom, everything is done. I'm just going to the kitchen to help Beichen cook."
Mother Lu beckoned her to come over and sit on the sofa. "Why should I help him? He has hands. Come and sit down. You've been outside for so long. Are you cold? It's much colder outside than inside."
Fu Ling didn't refuse, and walked over and sat down: "No, mom, I'm not cold."
"I'm glad you're not frozen!"
Mother Lu smiled and introduced Fu Ling: "This is your Aunt Chen, my old sister."
"Aunt Chen!" Fu Ling smiled sweetly and generously.
Aunt Chen hadn't looked closely at Fu Ling just now, but now that she was up close, she was more and more amazed: "She is truly so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame."
Who wouldn't be confused by this? Her face was flawless, though perhaps from being outside for so long, her skin looked even paler.
"Aunt Chen is the beauty, and my advantage is my youth." Fu Ling said modestly.
"Oh, what kind of beauty am I? I'm almost old and ugly~"
"No, I've taken good care of myself. I'm still in my prime, not old and faded like you said. I'm still beautiful."
Who doesn’t like to be praised for their youth and beauty? Aunt Chen is no exception.
Being praised by Fu Ling, she immediately smiled from ear to ear: "I just heard from your mother-in-law that you are not only good at medicine, but also good at cooking and making skin care products. This time when your mother-in-law came back, I felt that she looked even younger."
"Haha, if Auntie doesn't mind, I'll give you a few sets."
"That won't work. Your mother-in-law is planning to give me a set. Since you're here, Lingling, how about we make a deal?"
"Aunt, just tell me."
"Well, I'm planning on having you help me with a year's supply each time. I'll get you a batch of goods once a year. Of course, the price is what it should be. Even though I have a good relationship with your mother-in-law, I can't take advantage of you."
Fu Ling's lips curled up. Now she finally understood why Lu's mother had such a good relationship with her. Both of them were the kind of people who didn't like to take advantage of others and kept their public and private lives separate.
"Okay, Auntie. I'll send it to you when it's ready."
Seeing that Fu Ling agreed so readily, my impression of her became even better. It turned out that the rumors were not credible.
Aunt Chen couldn't find any fault with such a good girl, whether it was her conversation or her personality.
No wonder now when the older sisters talk about their daughter-in-law, their eyebrows are beaming with joy, which makes them more excited than praising their sons.
Aunt Chen checked her watch and quickly stood up: "Oh, it's so late, I have to go back."
Fu Ling invited, "Aunt, since you're here, why not have a quick meal before leaving? It won't take much time. I'll let Beichen take you back later."
"That's right, Xiaoqin, stay and have dinner before you leave. You don't need to go back to cook anyway, so why rush? Old Chen knows you're here, so he won't rush out to look for you."
"Oh, you know him. If I didn't come back for dinner, he would be very worried about me, afraid that something might have happened to me on the way."
Just then, there was a knock on the far door, and Lu Beichen, who was in the kitchen, ran to open it.
Seeing the person coming, Mother Lu smiled and said, "Speak of Cao Cao, and he will appear."
The person who came was Aunt Chen’s husband Chen Weidong.
Chen Weidong smiled sheepishly: "She'd been out for too long, and I was worried something might happen to her on the way, so I came over to pick her up."
Mother Lu invited again: "Okay, you came at the right time. I was trying to persuade Xiaoqin to stay for dinner before leaving, but she was worried that you would be anxious and refused to stay. Now that you are here, why not stay and have a simple meal together before leaving."
Chen Weidong originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Aunt Chen's expectant expression, he immediately changed his mind: "Okay, then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful."
Fu Ling felt that Chen Weidong had a strong scholarly air and it was obvious that he was an educator.
As he was thinking this, he heard Mother Lu introduce Fu Ling: "This is your Uncle Chen, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper."
No wonder, Fu Ling thought to himself.
"Uncle Chen!"
It was only then that Chen Weidong noticed Fu Ling, and he was amazed at first sight.
Mother Lu introduced Fu Ling to Chen Weidong: "This is my second son's wife, Fu Ling."
When Chen Weidong heard the name, he felt it sounded very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"You don't know how talented this child is. Not only does she have medical skills..."
When he heard about medical skills, Chen Weidong suddenly remembered why he felt that the name was familiar. The pharmaceutical factory on the island was already well-known, and their newspapers had information exchanged. Although Fu Ling's name was not revealed when it was published in the newspaper, it was widely spread inside. He had superb medical skills at a young age, and his master was Professor Yuan Chenghua, a very famous professor in Beijing.
Before Aunt Chen could finish her words, Chen Weidong interrupted her. He asked with shining eyes, "Are you Professor Yuan's apprentice?"
Huh? Did you recognize her?
She was not surprised. In the eyes of the common people, she was just a young girl, but in the medical community, she was well-known. In addition, she was Yuan Chenghua's apprentice, so she received widespread attention.
She admitted openly: "Yes, Uncle Chen!"
"Haha, you are indeed a promising young man. I heard that you are the director of the pharmaceutical factory."
"Thank you Uncle Chen for the compliment. I still have a lot to learn." Fu Ling said modestly.
Chen Weidong was even more satisfied with Fu Ling. He spoke appropriately, was so outstanding, and was not proud or complacent. He was a man who could accomplish great things.
"Old Chen, do you know Ling Ling?"
"It's more than just an acquaintance. Her initiative has saved countless families."
There is something wrong with this. If the pillar of the family dies, the family will fall apart.
"What? Why don't I understand?" Aunt Chen was confused.
Mother Lu guessed what Chen Weidong was talking about. She didn't mention the pharmaceutical factory to Aunt Chen just now because she didn't want people to think she was showing off. But she didn't expect that her husband would take the initiative to talk about it even though she didn't mention it.
After learning what had happened, Aunt Chen's eyes lit up even more. "Oh my God! It's unbelievable! Lingling is only this young, and she's already achieved what she has. Her future is limitless."
What followed was a commendation meeting for Fu Ling. Fortunately, she remained calm and did not lose herself in the wonderful praise.
Mr. Lu now rushes home as soon as he gets off work, without staying for even a minute longer.
He missed his little grandson.
When he came back and saw Chen Weidong there, he went to see the children and then invited Chen Weidong to come over to chat and have tea.
Fu Ling took the opportunity to slip away to the kitchen.
"Honey, I'm sorry. I got stuck and kept chatting with me for a while. I only had a chance to get away when Dad came back."
Lu Beichen raised the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, I guessed it would be like this, there's nothing I can do to help."
"Honey, what are you cooking tonight?"
