Chapter 291 He looks so handsome when he makes sacrifices silently.
Lu Jiangting knew who the old man in front of him was, and he had heard a lot about him.
Just as Lin Yuyao said, he's actually quite spineless.
The reason they could bully her like that was simply because they were bullies who preyed on the weak.
He gets scared when he encounters someone he truly can't afford to offend.
In the end, he could only leave with Fang Qing without saying a word.
The old man looked up at Fu Huaiyi and said, "Hurry up and get down."
Lin Yuyao stood with Fu Huaiyi, originally intending to come down with him.
But just as she was about to come down, she heard the old man say again, "He can come down by himself, you don't need to come down, you should go back to your room quickly."
Lin Yuyao could only nod and go back to her room.
The old man sat on the sofa, stared at Fu Huaiyi for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Fu Huaiyi: "Wasn't it made very clear? Yao Yao was indeed engaged to Lu Jiangting. As for why the marriage didn't happen, I just said it was because Lu Jiangting was a scoundrel."
"I'm not asking why they broke off the engagement, or how they broke it off—that's none of our business. I'm asking you, before the engagement was broken off, were you involved in their affairs?"
"Have."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed in exasperation.
"Alright, you've got guts. You didn't even try to lie to me, you just admitted it right away. You've got guts. Since you got involved, then people saying you stole someone else's wife isn't unjust."
"Who said that? That's a false accusation against me."
The old man's lips twitched. "You've already admitted you were involved, and you still say you've been wronged?"
“I got involved. I was at a wedding with Ashu when we ran into the family, who came over with dozens of people and started hitting people with carrying poles without saying a word. We thought they were there to cause trouble, so we exchanged glances and disarmed the two leaders and pinned them to the ground. That’s what I mean by getting involved.”
The old man was a little dazed and looked at Yi Yunshuo.
Lu Jiangting and his family of three left, but Yi Yunshuo is still here.
At this moment, Yi Yunshuo stepped in to explain, "Yes, that's exactly right. We later found out it was a misunderstanding. The two people who were disarmed and pinned to the ground were his father-in-law and mother-in-law. It's quite a coincidence that they became friends after a fight."
what?
The whole family was shocked.
"What about those dozens of people? Were they all the Lin family's extended aunts and uncles?"
"No, those were neighbors who came to watch the commotion. They came over to see what was going on, but we misunderstood. We thought it was a village fight."
This explanation makes sense.
In recent years, there have been many fights between villages, and in some serious cases, the army has had to be sent to suppress them.
A large, dark group of people followed, and the leader started hitting people right away. What were they supposed to think?
At the time, they really thought they had encountered a village gang.
"And then?" the old man continued to ask.
Yi Yunshuo said, "Later, after they explained the situation, I learned that Lu Jiangting had swindled someone's dowry to subsidize Fang Qing's hair salon business. Three hundred yuan might not be much to you, but for people in the countryside, it's a huge sum."
They have two sons getting married, and it's already quite difficult for them to save three hundred yuan for their daughter's dowry. You tell me, to cheat someone out of that money is just immoral. Anyone would be upset, and he deserved to be beaten.”
He recounted in detail how Lu Jiangting swindled people out of their dowry.
It was said to be for saving the father of a comrade-in-arms; otherwise, why would they take out their dowry?
Human life is of utmost importance. The fact that he could deceive that girl shows he is a kind-hearted person.
The old man had visited the Lin family and saw that the Lin family got along well with their neighbors. He always thought they were good people.
If he wasn't so angry, he wouldn't have been so quick to hit someone.
He had experienced hardship himself and knew how worthless daughters were in poor families.
It's already good enough that they didn't exchange it for money. There aren't many families like the Lin family that didn't withhold a single penny of the betrothal gifts and even gave back the dowry.
"Well, then what?"
“We felt really bad for hitting her. Later, we ran into Xiaolin at the hospital. Ayi originally offered to pay her medical bills as an apology. But Aunt Ye refused and returned the money to us.”
The old man nodded and said, "That's ambitious."
"Later, Xiaolin came to Nancheng. She came to get a divorce. Because Lu Jiangting had tricked her into thinking that the marriage certificate had been issued, she planned to come here to fight a protracted battle, since military marriages are not easy to get divorced."
"Yes, it will be very difficult if the man disagrees."
"Yes, it's not easy for her, a young girl, to be out on her own. She didn't know who to look for or where to look. Then she came to Ah Yi. Ah Yi felt that we were wrong to hit her parents before, and we should help her."
He took her to see Lao Zhou, got her documents back, introduced her to a job with Sister Leyi, helped her find an apartment, and so on... That's how they gradually became acquainted.
He didn't tell the old man that Fu Huaiyi had a crush on her for a long time, only that he was helping out out of guilt.
Only after getting to know them well should you start pursuing them.
He knew all about Fu Huaiyi's affairs, such as finding excuses to deliver fruit or daily necessities to people, and having someone buy him a German fountain pen but telling people it was a free gift from his workplace.
After finding out that someone was looking for a house, I asked them what kind of house they were looking for.
Coincidentally, the small apartment upstairs from him was it.
The homeowner and his family were moving to a larger house in the city and were in a hurry to sell.
He sold a gold bar to buy the small house and then rented it to her at a price below market value.
Lin Yuyao knew all of this.
She only found out about the house later on now.
I had mixed feelings in my heart for a while.
Fu Yatong, who was standing next to her, cried while listening to this.
"Sister-in-law, so you were bullied by two scumbags and had your engagement called off before the wedding. How pitiful."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"It's not pitiful to break off an engagement before marriage; it's called cutting your losses in time. It would be pitiful if you swallowed your pride and got married."
"Ah, yes, thankfully it was discovered before marriage, so we could stop the damage in time. If we had found out after marriage and having children, it would have been terrible."
These words hit Fu Leyi where it hurt.
Thinking back, if I had discovered their true colors earlier, things wouldn't have turned out so embarrassingly later.
Fu Leyi sighed and said, "Yuyao, it's good that you have courage. You were getting married in a few days and you were able to persuade your aunt and uncle to help you break off the engagement. If it were an ordinary family, they would probably just apologize and let it go."
Yes, if she didn't have supportive parents, and instead had parents who sold their daughter, they probably would have tied her up and forced her to get married.
After all, in their hometown, someone with Lu Jiangting's qualifications is highly sought after.
After listening to Yi Yunshuo's description of Fu Huaiyi's silent sacrifices, Fu Yatong said with tears in her eyes, "I'm so touched. He looks so handsome when he makes sacrifices silently. Sister-in-law, you should write this into a novel and make it into a TV series. I want to watch it."
