Chapter 247 Stay in the City
Lin Ge thought that Cheng Lu was feeling sorry for him, and did not notice that Cheng Lu secretly glanced at Qi Liancheng.

In Lin Ge's heart, she never regarded Cheng Lu as a competitor. The only person she cared about was Li Luo.

When the two were going home, Cheng Lu kept asking about the things between Lin Ge and Qi Liancheng. Sometimes he stood up for Lin Ge, and sometimes he looked envious and praised the love between the two.

Lin Ge just smiled but thought in his heart, Li Luo, I finally defeated you this time. You were the affectionate man in your last life, and you can only marry me in this life!

Cheng Lu's incessant chatter caught Yu Shulan's attention. Eight out of ten sentences Cheng Lu said were about Qi Liancheng. If one didn't know, one would think that Qi Liancheng was going to have a blind date with the girl in front of him and the girl wanted to find out more about the situation.

However, Lin Ge did not realize that he had revealed everything about Qi Liancheng's favorite foods, as well as some of Ling Zhuoqun's little habits.

During this time, Yu Shulan always interjected a word or two from time to time, trying to remind Lin Ge, but perhaps Lin Ge had not seen his friends for too long, or perhaps this was the daily routine between Lin Ge and Cheng Lu, Yu Shulan's words did not arouse any alarm in Lin Ge.

"Sister Xiaoge, I really envy you for having such a handsome and capable boyfriend. I'm just a country girl, how can I be liked by boys in the city?"

“You see, I just came to the city to find my sister, and I was cheated. It was Sister Xiaoge who rescued me.” As he said this, Cheng Lu lowered his head in grievance, not daring to look at Lin Ge.

Of course Lin Ge could imagine how difficult his life was when he was in the village. Besides, if he opened a shop, he would have no one to help him. Bringing Cheng Lu here could save him some effort in finding someone.

"Cheng Cheng, do you want to stay in the city?" Lin Ge thought about it for a long time and finally spoke.

Upon hearing the news, Cheng Lu was delighted at first, but then she showed a worried look: "Sister Xiaoge, I also want to stay in the city with you, but my father and mother will never give me money to let me come to the city."

"They will only sell me and find a rich old man to save money for my brother's dowry." The more Cheng Lu talked, the more pitiful she felt. When Yu Shulan heard this, wasn't this what her daughter had experienced before?
If I hadn't found my biological daughter, my Xiaoge would have become a girl like this.

"Xiaoge, do you want Chengcheng to stay here with you?" Yu Shulan asked after a long absence.

Lin Ge was stunned, not knowing what Yu Shulan was thinking. However, Yu Shulan's expression seemed serious. However, if she was asked to sleep in the same bed with Cheng Lu, she would not accept it.

"Sister Xiaoge, can I, can I do it?" Cheng Lu's face showed an expectant expression.

However, Lin Ge hesitated. Seeing Cheng Lu so anxious, she felt a little annoyed. Maybe she was thinking too much?

"Sister Xiaoge, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble to the family. I can operate a sewing machine, cook, and clean. Leave the house to me, and I will make sure it is clean!" Cheng Lu quickly mentioned his own uses.

Hearing this, Yu Shulan was completely moved. Ever since Li Luo was not at home, Lin Ge had never thought about taking care of the house and always hired a housekeeper to clean the house.

Yu Shulan had thought about finding a nanny, but she was afraid that an older nanny would not clean well enough, and a diligent one would be too pretty. Besides, with Li Luo around, Yu Shulan had never had to worry about these housework.

But in the past few months, the family has always been looking for a housekeeper, which has made Li Dafu dissatisfied. He said that if it really doesn't work, just find a nanny. Now there is a ready-made candidate, isn't it? She is young and can keep Lin Ge company. This is simply perfect!
However, no matter what Yu Shulan said, she had been influenced by Li Dafu. How could she let someone talk about the job of a live-in nanny so bluntly?
"Hey, Cheng Cheng, what are you talking about? Xiao Ge is so happy to be with you, why would she let you do these housework?"

Cheng Lu also realized her own gaffe and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I just like the atmosphere at Sister Xiaoge's house too much, and I also want to be with Sister Xiaoge anytime and anywhere."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I won't live and eat for free. I'll go find a job after Sister Xiaoge gets married. I won't cause any trouble to the Li family." Cheng Lu looked at Lin Ge and Yu Shulan hopefully.

The more Yu Shulan looked at Cheng Lu, the more she felt that there was a shadow of Lin Ge in him. Cheng Lu was still useful to Lin Ge, so she agreed reluctantly.

"Cheng Cheng, you can stay here without any worries. There is a guest room next to it. Although it has not been cleaned yet, the bed inside is clean. We can move your luggage in after cleaning it."

Cheng Lu quickly bowed to Lin Ge and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoge, thank you!"

"What are you talking about, Cheng Cheng? We grew up together. It's really too polite for you to say that."

Without waiting for Lin Ge to do anything, Cheng Lu quickly started to clean up the room when Lin Ge brought her to the guest room. In less than half an hour, all the boxes and old clothes that needed to be tidied were put in order.

While Yu Shulan and Lin Ge were resting, Cheng Lu cleaned the Li family's house until it was spotless.

When Li Dafu came back, he thought he had walked into the wrong house. He saw a strange girl facing him, which made Li Dafu walk out of the house and take a few more glances at the house number.

"Who are you? This is my home, what are you doing here?" Li Dafu looked alert.

Cheng Lu was also shocked when he suddenly saw Li Dafu. He looked like a man of the same age as his father, but he was well maintained. There were no wrinkles on his face, and even his beard was shaved clean.

She looked like a young man, and even when standing in front of Lin Ge, the two of them looked more like brother and sister than father and daughter.

"Dad, you're back? This is Cheng Cheng, my little sister. She came here specially for my wedding." Lin Ge explained while putting the mop in Cheng Lu's hand aside.

"Cheng Cheng, look, why can't you take a break in just half a day? Are you tired?" Lin Ge asked hurriedly.

Cheng Lu wiped the sweat off her face and smiled, "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoge, I'm not tired. When I was at home, I did much more than this."

Yu Shulan also came over when she heard the noise. Seeing the house looking brand new after a long time, she seemed to be in a much better mood and let go of all her previous guard against Cheng Lu.

"Dad, Mom, let's go to a restaurant for dinner today. I'm getting tired of eating just fried pork strips every day." Lin Ge hugged Li Dafu's arm and said coquettishly.

"Cheng Cheng, you haven't eaten in a state-owned restaurant yet, right? Don't worry, I'll let you feast on the food today!"
