Because the road is not so easy to walk on at this time.

I got out of the car and looked towards the gate in front of me which was guarded by guards.

I thought, this should also be a family compound.

Fu Huaiyi parked the car aside and said to her, "Wait for me here."

Lin Yuyao nodded gently, "Okay."

He trotted to the guard room, took out his ID, and told them something.

The other party opened the small door next to him, and Fu Huaiyi turned around and waved to Lin Yuyao.

Lin Yuyao trotted over, followed him in, went straight to the third floor, and then found Lao Zhou in a small suite.

He was a middle-aged man, wearing a blue cadre uniform meticulously. He was sitting on the balcony, reading a newspaper and eating melon seeds.

"Uncle Zhou."

Hearing the sound, the other party put down the newspaper and adjusted his glasses.

"Hey, Xiaofu, why are you here?"

Fu Huaiyi called Lin Yuyao to follow and strode closer.

Lao Zhou threw the melon seeds aside, stood up, and the two shook hands.

Then Lao Zhou saw the pretty girl behind Fu Huaiyi.

His eyes lit up and his gaze swept back and forth between Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao.

Lin Yuyao felt very uncomfortable with this look. She called out "Uncle Zhou" in a low voice and said nothing else.

She was afraid of saying something wrong, which would make people feel that she was here to call people to account, which would definitely not be a good thing.

Even though she really wanted to do that.

It’s better to let Fu Huaiyi talk to her.

Fu Huaiyi understood the meaning of Lao Zhou's eyes, but surprisingly, he did not explain it immediately.

Instead, he greeted Lao Zhou first and said some official polite words.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lao Zhou looked at Lin Yuyao with a smile and said, "Have you filed the marriage report?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"I did, but didn't you say you would give it back to me?"

ah?

Old Zhou's smile froze and he looked at Fu Huaiyi in confusion.

“Ahem…”

Fu Huaiyi said awkwardly: "Her name is Lin Yuyao, she is Lu Jiangting's... that... they reported their marriage, but she didn't want to marry Lu Jiangting for some reasons. She called you and asked you to return the report to her, do you remember?"

Old Zhou was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized, "You are Xiao Lin, the one who married Lu Jiangting..."

Wait, why is she with Fu Huaiyi?

Lin Yuyao said, "Yes, I don't want to marry Lu Jiangting. You promised to send the marriage report back to me. Do you remember?"

"Ah, ah, I remember."

"Then...the marriage report...?"

"This...this..." Old Zhou was being careless.

Fu Huaiyi said sternly, "Old Zhou, you are an old comrade. You should understand that marriage requires the voluntary consent of both parties, right? Comrade Xiaolin didn't want to, so why did you submit the report? This is a major mistake on your part."

"Ah? I didn't hand it in."

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Lao Zhou subconsciously covered his mouth.

Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao looked at each other.

Didn’t hand it in?

Fu Huaiyi hurriedly chased after him and asked, "You didn't hand it in? Their marriage report is still with you, right?"

Old Zhou: “…”

He stammered and couldn't explain himself clearly.

Lin Yuyao also became anxious and looked at him expectantly.

Did you pay it or not?

"Old Zhou, what's going on?" Fu Huaiyi's voice gradually became colder and he stared at him closely.

Lao Zhou looked embarrassed. He stamped his feet and sighed, "Yes, I didn't hand it in, but I didn't send it to Xiao Lin either. But I...well, I actually promised Xiao Lu not to tell anyone about this."

They both: “…”

Old Zhou looked at Lin Yuyao and said, "Xiao Lu told me that you grew up with him and have been friends for many years, but there were some misunderstandings between you. I also heard about Fang Qing's situation. Xiao Wang died, and it wasn't easy for her either..."

The words he said were similar to what Lu Jiangting said when he brainwashed Lin Yuyao.

Anyway, the year before last, their military region received the task of fighting in two mountains. One of the tasks was to install communication equipment, which was received by Lu Jiangting and Wang Jianjun together. If it wasn't for Wang Jianjun, Lu Jiangting might have died.

Wang Jianjun died, leaving behind an orphan and a widow. It was impossible for Lu Jiangting to just ignore them.

At the end, Lao Zhou also helped Lu Jiangting persuade Lin Yuyao.

"When there are difficulties, couples should face them together. He took care of Fang Qing and her son. I know you must feel bad, but who wants this to happen? If he doesn't care, people will poke him in the back. It's unrealistic not to care."

Yes, she admitted that it was.

In that terrible dream, every time she was unhappy, Lu Jiangting would use this set of rhetoric to brainwash her. If she still didn't listen, he would mobilize the people around him to brainwash her, pressing her head and forcing her to accept Lu Jiangting's care for Fang Qing and her son.

During those years, she took care of her sick children and Lu Jiangting's elderly parents at home.

Fang Qing, however, was like a leech attached to his bones, clinging tightly to Lu Jiangting.

She rented a house near the military area and lived a leisurely life relying on Lu Jiangting. If she had been unable to apply for a family compound, she would probably have been able to live in a large compound.

It's hard for others to criticize them, but once they do, they bring up the fact that Wang Jianjun saved their lives, saying that they are repaying a favor, and that you all have filthy thoughts, etc...

The two were entangled with Wang Jianjun's death for their entire lives.

She was only in her fifties and was tortured to death.

When she thought of that horrible life, Lin Yuyao couldn't hold back her tears.

It wasn't that she wanted to cry, it was just that it was too bitter and painful, and she couldn't hold it in.

When they saw him crying, both people at the scene panicked.

Fu Huaiyi really wanted to wipe away her tears, but he was not qualified.

I could only stand aside and worry, and then silently think about finding trouble with Lu Jiangting and helping her vent her anger.

How could Lu Jiangting make her cry again? Damn it.

Lao Zhou said anxiously, "Hey, little comrade, why are you still crying? I know you are indeed wronged about this matter, but...but..."

He felt that it was not fair to force others to bear this responsibility.

It's one thing for others to be willing, but the key is that they are not willing.

Lin Yuyao silently took the paper handed to her by Old Zhou, wiped her tears, sniffed and said, "Uncle Zhou, it's not as simple as you say."

"Well, don't cry. Tell me more. I want to hear what you think."

"Fang Qing... Comrade Fang Qing, she didn't want us to get married, so she deliberately took away all our money just before we were about to get married."

Um?

"Yes, it was not a loan, it was a taking. I chased her and forced her to write the IOU, because the money also included 300 yuan which was the dowry my parents gave me. Lu Jiangting didn't discuss it with me and gave it all to Comrade Fang Qing directly."

"ah?"

Old Zhou looked at Fu Huaiyi in shock, "I remember you went to a wedding, right?"

Fu Huaiyi nodded, "Well, I didn't drink it."
