Ye Lian pouted and said in a gloomy tone, "Don't talk nonsense. I am grateful to the martyr Wang Jianjun for saving my life. I am a woman who can't make up my mind about such a big thing as decoration. Why don't I ask Lu Jiangting for help? It's very useful."
"Bah, it's fine if I'm helping her with the renovation, but what's the point of carrying a cake to Fang Qing's house to celebrate her son's birthday?"
"Oh, it's just a birthday. I'll have a 50th birthday party in a few years and you can all come and celebrate my birthday."
"It's different. Fang Qing's son still calls Lu Jiangting dad."
Um?
Ye Lian couldn't hold back her anger any longer, "What? That little bastard still calls that bastard Lu Jiangting daddy?"
"Yes, Mrs. Liu who lives next door to Fang Qing listened attentively. She said something like Chenchen didn't have a father anymore and wanted to have his father accompany him on his birthday. She said a lot of other things, and Mrs. Liu didn't hear clearly, but that's what she meant.
So on this day, Lu Jiangting is the father of Fang Qing's son. Hey, I wonder if he is anything else besides being a father on this day."
Ye Lian was shaking with anger.
Even after all this, that bastard still wants to coax his daughter into marrying him.
Where does he get the face?
Ye Lian threw the washed shoes into the basin and went back with the basin angrily.
While looking at the shoes thrown on the balcony angrily, he shouted into the house, "Dawei, if that bastard Lu Jiangting comes again, kick him out and don't let him step into our yard again."
"What's wrong?" Lin Dawei came out of the house.
Ye Lian told him what she had just heard when she was washing shoes in the courtyard pond. Lin Dawei was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Hey, this bastard, why did he have to lend money to the widow? It turns out he is having an affair with the widow." He picked up the shoulder pole at the door and said, "I'm going to break his legs."
Lin Yuyao came out of the house and said, "Dad, don't go. This is a good thing. Let him go."
Lin Dawei was stunned, "Ah? Is this a good thing?"
"Yes, let him live with Fang Qing, so he doesn't have to bother me. He wants to repay his kindness and is willing to support his wife and son. We outsiders have no right to interfere."
Um?
"My lady is right, that's the truth." Lin Dawei put down the shoulder pole.
"But what about our three hundred dollars? Dawei, go ask him for it back." Ye Lian said again.
Lin Dawei picked up the carrying pole again.
But Lin Yuyao knew that he had no money now, and if he couldn't get the money, he would have to get entangled with them.
"Dad, don't go. He has no money now."
"Even if you don't have any money, you have to spit it out."
"How can I pay it back if I don't have the money?" She stopped Lin Dawei and said, "I have their IOU in my hand, so I'm not afraid. If he dares not to pay me back, I will go to their troops and make trouble. I will make Lu Jiangting lose his job and make the higher-ups cancel Fang Qing's pension. Let's see if they dare not to pay me back."
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Isn't this grasping their lifeblood?
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, young lady."
They all planned to let Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing go and just wish their own well-being.
But I don’t think so.
The next day, Lu Jiangting came again.
This time I didn’t bring any fruit candies, but instead brought two large cabbages.
Lin Yuyao: “…” Are you already this poor?
"Yuyao, take these vegetables my mother planted, try them."
"No need. I have plenty of cabbages like this at home. I'll feed them all to the pigs."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"I heard that you became a father to Fang Qing's son yesterday? Congratulations, you now have a son and a daughter-in-law all of a sudden."
Lu Jiangting's expression changed, "Yuyao, who told you that?"
"Everyone is talking about it."
Lu Jiangting: “…” Where did this gossipy woman come from?
"Don't listen to their nonsense. It's nothing. It was Chenchen's birthday yesterday, and I just went to see him."
"Oh, whatever. It has nothing to do with me."
"How come it's okay? I came here to explain it to you because I was afraid you might start imagining things."
"Okay, I heard you, you can go now." After saying that, she poured out a basin of water.
In order to avoid the water, Lu Jiangting jumped a long way.
Lin Yuyao just happened to close the gate.
Lu Jiangting shouted from outside, "Yuyao, why did you lock me out? Open the door quickly."
His voice did not prompt Lin Yuyao to open the door, but instead startled Lin Dawei who was shoveling chicken poop in the backyard.
He came out with a shovel in his hand. The chicken shit in that shovel was shocking to the eyes. If Lu Jiangting hadn't run fast, it would have splashed all over him.
"Bah, you shameless thing, you are a father to someone and you still have the nerve to come to my daughter? Who are you insulting? If you dare to come again, I will feed you a mouthful of chicken shit."
Lu Jiangting fled in panic.
After returning home, he was scolded again by his parents.
"Come on, you know that Yuyao is bothered by your relationship with the widow, so why did you bother with her? Now, it's spread everywhere that the widow's son calls you daddy. Not only did you act as a dad to him yesterday, you also acted as a man to the widow. Do you think she won't throw chicken shit at you?"
"Mom, those gossipers are just making this up. It's not true at all."
"Hmph." His father Lu Cong snorted coldly, "I only know that flies don't bite flawless eggs. If you don't do these things that cause misunderstandings, who can blame you?"
Lu Jiangting had no way to refute.
He felt that this was a huge misunderstanding and was extremely panicked.
Lending money to Fang Qing is not a big deal, but being misunderstood as having an affair with Fang Qing is a different matter.
He couldn't sit still at home, and after thinking it over, he went to find Lin Yuyao again.
This time he hid in the dark and waited until her parents went out to work before looking for her.
"Yuyao, you really misunderstood me this time. There's nothing between Fang Qing and me. I..."
"Shut up." Before he could say more, Lin Yuyao interrupted him, "There's nothing between you and Fang Qing. Just this sentence, do you know how many times you have said it? Whether you have anything with her or not, it has nothing to do with me. Stop it here, I'm saving your face, don't force me to tear my face with you."
Lu Jiangting also got angry and revealed the marriage report in anger.
"Are you so determined to end our relationship of many years? You even called Lao Zhou and asked him to send back the marriage report."
Lin Yuyao's heart skipped a beat. "What did you say?"
"Oh, you know what I'm talking about." Lu Jiangting sneered, "I tell you, I won't allow such a misunderstanding between us, so... I asked Lao Zhou to help submit the marriage report."
Lin Yuyao's eyes widened in disbelief and pointed at him, "How dare you...?"
Lu Jiangting grabbed her hand and led her to his side, "Yuyao, don't get angry with me because of Fang Qing anymore. Let's just live a good life, okay?"
"No, no, no, no." Lin Yuyao struggled hard, tears streaming down her face. "I've already said I don't want to live with you anymore. Why do you make the decision for me?"
