"Pah! Shameless!" Su Ming concluded directly.
Yang Guangyi's face turned completely black.
Su Qiao took this opportunity to enter the house.
The room was somewhat dim.
Su Qiao couldn't see clearly.
She tried calling out, "Comrade Lu? Lu Xiangze?"
Lu Xiangze responded.
My head is a little dizzy, and I think I just remembered something.
The noise outside grew louder and louder, and Lu Xiangze naturally heard it too.
"Could you please help me out?"
Su Qiao naturally agreed.
Lu Xiangze deliberately brushed the hair off his forehead.
The wound on it was exposed.
The blood on his face was not wiped away.
The girl in red, who was squatting on the ground, saw this and screamed in fright.
Yang Guangyi was busy comforting his daughter and didn't have time to look at Lu Xiangze.
Lu Fugui felt extremely distressed when he saw the injury on his head.
He can barely walk straight now.
They were even more dissatisfied with those few.
"Now that the person is out, you can ask them."
Lu Fugui's voice was quite loud, and the girl was terrified. She squatted down and hugged Yang Guangyi's leg tightly.
"Hey kid, my daughter's dowry includes a three-wheeled watch, a radio, and 200 yuan in cash. Are you going to marry her?"
Lu Xiangze's voice was somewhat weak, but he still firmly said, "I won't marry. I won't marry someone I don't know. I can't accept an arranged marriage!"
After he finished speaking, he said something to Chen Ximei.
“We’ve already separated our families and severed ties, so I can decide my own marriage. If you think this marriage is a good idea, then give it to your youngest son.”
"My son would never marry a fool!" Chen Ximei blurted out, then realized what she had said and quickly covered her mouth.
He then cursed, "You unfilial son!"
Lu Xiangze gave her a cold look.
Chen Ximei was taken aback. When did Lu Xiangze become so unpredictable?
Yang Guangyi also realized what was going on.
Enraged, he shoved his daughter's hand away, pulled her up, and pointed at Chen Ximei, yelling, "Fine, you just wait!"
After saying that, he left with his men.
Chen Ximei watched their retreating figures but did not chase after them.
The thought of the Yang family members, each one as large as a small mountain, made her leave in a menacing manner.
I was scared.
He turned to Lu Xiangze and said, "Boss, it's all my fault. You have to come back with me to save my brother."
Chen Ximei immediately changed her tune.
Lu Xiangze remained unmoved.
As she turned to leave, Chen Ximei pulled Lu Xiaomei down to kneel.
"I'm begging you, please marry her. She's mentally challenged anyway, and she won't cause any trouble. Your life is already ruined; you might not even be able to find a wife. What decent family would dare marry you these days? You might as well get something more substantial. At worst... I'll give you 100 in cash!"
"That's all we can have. All the money in the house has been stolen, and we have to keep the rest. We're about to starve... Please, have mercy on us."
To her surprise, none of these people paid any attention to her.
Lu's mother wanted to pull Lu Xiaomei to cry with her, but she was busy looking at Su Ming and didn't pay any attention to her.
Looking at Su Ming's face, Lu Xiaomei's heart fluttered; she had never seen anyone so beautiful.
And the way he stood there protecting Su Qiao was really handsome.
Su Ming helped Lu Xiangze sit down at the table.
The captain sighed and advised Lu Xiangze to go to the clinic for a checkup.
None of the people paid any attention to the two kneeling figures.
Chen Ximei was so angry she felt like her back teeth were about to break. She was worried that Lu Xiaodi wouldn't be able to manage alone at home.
He stood up and walked home, muttering curses as he went.
“So what if you come from a good family? You’re still working as a peasant with me now.” Lu Xiaomei heard it clearly.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Mom, what did you say?"
Chen Ximei realized she had let something slip and immediately put on an impatient expression.
"What are you asking! Mind your own business!"
After saying that, he went back in a huff.
As soon as I got to the door, I saw the front door open and several people carrying things out.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! Who told you to move it?" Chen Ximei grabbed the sewing machine that was being moved out tightly.
This is her son's betrothal gift!
"I."
Yang Guangyi walked out of the Lu family home with his daughter.
"Since my daughter can't get married, I'm taking this dowry back with me. Pull her away, keep moving!"
Chen Ximei watched as her belongings were moved away untouched, and the neighbors who had previously gloated over her burst into laughter.
"Oh dear~ Didn't some people say this was his youngest son's bride price? How come it's been taken away now? Hahahaha."
Many people laughed together.
Yang Guangyi increasingly felt that the old woman was deliberately trying to cheat him out of his money, and he was glad that he hadn't given her the gift money directly.
He made a note of the wasted trip.
He'll also properly "thank" that "matchmaker"...
Chen Ximei sat on the ground, crying her heart out. When Lu Xiaomei went to help her up, she was slapped several times.
"You were just carrying a sewing machine, why are you being so attentive now? You're useless!"
"Shut up, shut up, what's all the noise about!" Little Brother Lu was woken up and shouted in the yard.
Chen Ximei was immediately speechless.
He glared at Lu Xiaomei, stood up, dusted himself off, and went inside.
Looking at his son, whose anger had not yet subsided.
Chen Ximei put on a slightly ingratiating smile.
"They didn't hit you, did they?"
Young Master Lu recalled how several burly men had casually moved him aside and taken his belongings away...
His eyes were filled with humiliation.
He is now 19 years old and has accomplished nothing. He even has to use his older brother's allowance for his own wedding dowry.
Now his older brother's allowance is gone, and his savings are all gone. He's only worked for a few days, but he already feels exhausted.
He felt utterly defeated by life.
He refused to believe that he couldn't do anything without his older brother.
Seeing her son remain silent, Chen Ximei felt even more resentment towards Lu Xiangze. If it weren't for him, her son wouldn't have suffered like this.
If he's not your biological child, you can't really tame him. You've raised him all these years, but he'll never enjoy any of the good things in life.
They clearly forgot that all of these brick houses were built with Lu Xiangze's subsidies.
Lu Xiangze sneezed, his head throbbing dully.
He could have dodged it, but remembering his identity, he hesitated for a moment.
He raised his hand to block it, but the stick somehow broke and hit him on the head.
Fortunately, Su Ming hadn't left yet and stopped the people for him.
The captain was called away.
Before leaving, they made sure to ask Su Qiao and her brother to take Lu Xiangze to the clinic for a check-up.
The Su siblings sat on either side of the table.
Both of them had their own thoughts, yet they looked at him with worried eyes.
Lu Xiangze felt his skin crawling.
In the end, Su Ming spoke first.
"What's wrong with you? You used to be so capable, what happened to you?"
"I'm really fine. I just didn't expect this to happen. Actually, I'm in pretty good health, and I'm fine now."
Lu Xiangze went straight to the water vat and wiped the blood off his face.
His gait was smooth, and there was no sign of a limp.
"Your leg is better?!" Su Ming exclaimed with delight, feeling even more confident in her idea.
