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 is actually quite a coward.
The fact that he was able to bully her like that was simply because he was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
He gets scared when he meets someone he really 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, "Come down quickly."
Lin Yuyao stood with Fu Huaiyi and was originally going to go down with Fu Huaiyi.
But just as she was about to come down, she heard the old man say, "It's fine for him to come down alone. You don't have to come down. Go back to your room quickly."
Lin Yuyao had no choice but to nod and go back to her room.
The old man sat on the sofa and stared at Fu Huaiyi for a long time before he sighed and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Fu Huaiyi: "Hasn't it been made very clear? Yaoyao was indeed engaged to Lu Jiangting. Why didn't they get married? I just said it before. It's because Lu Jiangting is a worthless person."
"I'm not asking why they broke off the engagement. How they broke off the engagement has nothing to do with us. I'm asking you, did you get involved in their affairs before they broke off the engagement?"
"have."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed at his anger.
"Well, you are a brave boy. You didn't even try to lie to me and just admitted it. You are brave. Since you mixed it up, then it's not unfair for people to accuse you of stealing someone else's wife."
"Who said that? That's wrongly accusing me."
The old man's mouth twitched, "You have admitted that you mixed it, and you still say that you are wronged?"
"I was involved. Ah Shuo and I went to a wedding banquet and we happened to see their family rushing over with dozens of people. Without saying a word, they picked up sticks and started beating people. We thought they were here to cause trouble, so we exchanged glances and then disarmed the two leading men and pinned them to the ground. This is what I mean by involved."
The old man was a little confused and looked at Yi Yunshuo.
Lu Jiangting and his family of three are gone, but Yi Yunshuo is still here.
At this time, Yi Yunshuo helped to explain, "Yes, that's exactly what happened. Later, I realized it was a misunderstanding. The two people who were disarmed and pinned to the ground were his father-in-law and mother-in-law. This fate can be regarded as a fight without acquaintance."
ah?
Shocked the whole family.
"What about those dozens of people? Are they the Lin family's aunts and uncles?"
"No, those were neighbors who came to watch the excitement. They came to see the excitement, and we misunderstood. We thought it was a village fight."
This explanation makes sense.
In recent years, fighting between villages has been very fierce. In some serious cases, the army has to be sent in to suppress them.
A large group of people followed them, and the leader started beating people up. What could they think?
At that time, they really thought they were encountering a village fight.
"And then?" the old man continued to ask.
Yi Yunshuo said: "After listening to them explain the whole story, I found out that Lu Jiangting had embezzled the dowry to subsidize Fang Qing to open a hair salon. Three hundred yuan may not be much for you, but for the country people, it is a huge sum of money.
They have two sons who are getting married, and it is not easy for them to save 300 yuan for their daughters’ dowry. You said that he cheated people out of this money, which is immoral. No one can tolerate such a tone, and he deserves to be beaten.”
He described in detail how Lu Jiangting cheated people about their dowry.
They said it was to save the life of their comrade's father, otherwise how could they have given him their dowry?
Human life is more important than anything else. The fact that the girl was deceived by him shows that he is a kind-hearted man.
The old man had been to the Lin family and had seen that the Lin family got along well with their neighbors, and had always thought that they were good people.
If he wasn't so angry, he wouldn't be so impatient to hit someone.
He had also lived a hard life and knew how worthless daughters were in poor families.
It's good enough that they didn't use it to exchange for money. There are not many families like the Lin family who didn't deduct a single cent from the betrothal gift and even gave a dowry.
"Well, then what?"
"We felt really bad for hitting someone. Later, we ran into Xiaolin again in the hospital. Ayi originally said that he would pay for her medical expenses as an apology. But Aunt Ye refused and returned the money to us."
The old man nodded and said, "You have ambition."
"Later, Xiaolin came to South City. She came to get a divorce. Because Lu Jiangting tricked her into getting a marriage certificate, she planned to come here to fight a protracted war. After all, it is not easy to divorce a military marriage."
"Yes, it will be very difficult if the man doesn't agree."
"Yes, it was not easy for her to go out alone as a little girl. She didn't know who to look for or where to look. Later, she found Ayi. Ayi thought that it was our fault for beating her parents before, and we should help her.
He took her to see Lao Zhou, got her ID back, and introduced her to a job with Sister Le Yi, helped her rent an apartment, etc. Anyway, they became familiar with each other after a few visits. "
He didn't tell his grandfather that Fu Huaiyi had a crush on her for a long time, he just said that he was helping her with guilt.
Only after you get to know someone well, do you start pursuing them.
He knew all about Fu Huaiyi's affairs, such as finding excuses to send fruits and daily necessities to others, and asking someone to buy a German pen but telling the person that it was a free gift from the company.
Once you know someone is looking for a house, ask them what kind of house they are looking for.
Coincidentally, the small house upstairs from him is it.
It just so happened that the owner and his family were moving to a bigger house in the city and were in a hurry to sell the house.
He sold a gold bar to buy the small house, and then rented it to her at a price lower than the market price.
Lin Yuyao in front knew everything he said.
She only found out about the house at the back now.
For a moment, I felt mixed emotions.
Fu Yatong beside her burst into tears after hearing this.
"Sister-in-law, it turns out that you were bullied by two scumbags and broke off the engagement before marriage. How pitiful."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"It is not pitiful to break off the engagement before the wedding. This is called stopping the loss in time. If you swallow your anger and get married, it is pitiful."
"Oh, yes, it's a good thing that I found it before I got married, so I was able to stop the damage in time. If I had found it after I got married and had children, it would have been terrible."
These words really touched Fu Leyi's sore spot.
I thought that if I had discovered their true colors earlier, it wouldn't have been so embarrassing later.
Fu Leyi sighed and said, "Yuyao, luckily you have the courage. You are getting married in a few days, and you were able to convince your uncle and aunt to help you break off the engagement. If it were an ordinary family, they would probably just give a compensation and apologize and then they would be able to put up with it."
Yes, if she didn't have supportive parents, if she met parents who wanted to sell their daughter, she would probably be forced to marry even if she had to.
After all, in their hometown, conditions like Lu Jiangting's are very popular.
After listening to Yi Yunshuo's description of Fu Huaiyi's silent dedication, Fu Yatong's eyes were red again and she said, "I'm so moved. He looks so handsome when he silently devotes himself. Sister-in-law, please write it into a novel and then make it into a TV series. I want to watch it."
