Ye Lian's smile froze, and she pouted and said, "Who cares who gets the advantage? It has nothing to do with us."

"Hey, Ye Lian, are you really willing to give up such a golden son-in-law?"

"Heh." Ye Lian sneered and said, "He is a turtle, but not a golden turtle. He is the turtle's son."

Everyone: “…”

"Am I wrong? Look, isn't he being a son of a bitch now? He even dragged his parents along to be sons of someone else's 'sister-in-law'."

Some people in the crowd couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Sister-in-law Ye Lian, you are really good at slandering people. What do you call that?... taking care of the widow of your benefactor."

"Isn't that the same thing? What kind of benefactor's widow is that? How can you be so shameless? If there is really a problem, let alone Lu Jiangting, I, a stranger, am willing to lend a hand. He is a martyr's family member, right?

But do you think she is a good person? She didn't lend money earlier or later, but she chose to borrow money a few days before the wedding. It's obvious that she doesn't want them to get married. Do you think I'm a fool? What is she thinking that she doesn't want them to get married? Do you think others don't know?"

Everyone nodded.

"Yes, that woman does have bad intentions."

"That's right, her husband died, but not all of his family died. If they were too busy, the child could have been taken to his own grandparents. Hey, she insisted on giving the child to Lu Jiangting's parents."

Country ladies can't stop gossiping once they start.

You and I talked back and forth, starting from the time when Lu Jiangting came back from escorting the coffin two years ago... and we talked for most of the day.

From the initial criticism of Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing, he gradually said that Lu Jiangting was a man of deep feelings and loyalty.

But Fang Qing really didn't know what was going on. She shouldn't have relied on her man's kindness to tie Lu Jiangting up and have him do things for her.

Everyone has to look forward; you can't cling to others all your life.

Finally, I feel it is a pity that the matter between Lu Jiangting and Lin Yuyao has escalated to this point.

"If it weren't for Fang Qing's incident, your Yuyao and Xiaolu would still be a good match."

Ye Lian actually felt that to some extent, but at this point, she could only stand up for her young lady.

"I admit that Lu Jiangting is a very good man, but didn't you see that his mother Wang Cuilan's eyes turned white?"

"I saw it. It's a little scary, but that's what happens when you get old. My old lady was like this a few years before she passed away. I asked her about it, and she said she could only see a shadow."

"Yeah, I also heard that Wang Cuilan can see a shadow now. I think she is not far from being blind. Tell me, if she really marries him, he is the only son in his family. Who will bear the burden?"

This……

Everyone fell silent.

Ye Lian continued, "Marrying a soldier sounds good, but in reality, when there is something going on at home and no one is available, you have to do the work of two people by yourself. He can't come back to take care of his parents, so I, your daughter, will have to take care of them in the future, right? Raising children and taking care of the elderly are all my daughter's responsibilities. Let's ask if it's hard."

"This... Didn't Xiaolu ask your daughter to follow the army?"

"How long can he stay? When his father gets sick and his mother goes blind, who will come back to take care of him? Can you count on Lu Jiangting to come back, or on his two sisters? You are just wishful thinking. In the end, all these burdens will be borne by the daughter-in-law."

After hearing what she said, everyone thought it made sense.

"Oh, Ye Lian, now that you mention it, this Lu family is really a scam."

"Of course not. If the couple's minds are aligned, they can just endure the difficulties. I've thought about it before. If my daughter really marries her, since our families are close, I can help her take care of the children, and I can ask her brothers to help with the housework. If the whole family works together, we can get through it."

But who would have thought that Lu Jiangting, that bastard, would not join Yu Yao in his efforts. He has enough lice on his head, he can't even catch them all, and he's still thinking about other people's lice. Hey, let him catch other people's lice, we won't play with him anymore."

"That's right. The worst thing a couple should do when living together is to have different intentions."

"Yes, it's not that we can't endure hardships. If we work together, we won't be afraid of any difficulties."

Seeing that everyone agreed with her opinion, Ye Lian felt happy and proud.

"My daughter is fine. If she doesn't go to the Lu family's troubled water, she can marry into a better family in the future."

…

The Lu family lived in the next village, and their words, especially Ye Lian's, soon reached the ears of Lu Jiangting's parents.

Originally, they felt quite guilty about not being able to hold a wedding banquet for their two children and felt sorry for their in-laws.

Especially since people knew that they were secretly babysitting Fang Qing's child, they were too ashamed to face Lin Yuyao's parents.

As a result, those unpleasant words reached their ears and they both became furious.

Wang Cuilan rushed to the Lin family with her cane, stood at the door and scolded them: "My son is a man of integrity and loyalty, and he does things with conscience, so why do you say such a bad thing about him?"

Ye Lian pushed open the door and came out holding an IOU.

"Pay back the money."

"What's the repayment?"

"Your son was very loyal and righteous and lent Fang Qing money. Three hundred of it was used by my family as a dowry for Yuyao."

Wang Cuilan: “…”

"Let's not talk about dowry today. Even if the marriage fails, it's still a matter of righteousness. Our two families have known each other for so many years. No matter what you do, you can't frame our Jiang Ting."

"Okay, if you don't want to choreograph it, you pay me back."

Wang Cuilan: “…”

"Jiang Ting helped Fang Qing because Fang Qing's husband saved Jiang Ting, and he..."

"He should help Fang Qing, but he shouldn't have used my family's money to help her. Pay it back."

"You... humph, I really can't explain it to you."

"Pay back the money."

Wang Cuilan: “…”

"I have no money now. I'll ask whoever wants to borrow it from me."

Having said that, she hurried back home, groping her way with her crutches, fearing that Ye Lian would chase her to return the money.

After he left, Lin Dawei came out and gave Ye Lianshu a thumbs up.

"You are so good. If they come to trouble us, we won't waste words on them. Just two words: pay back the money."

Ye Lian smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I thought. It's about this money... That guy said he would return it to us in three months. How long will it take? Three months?"

"One more month."

"Okay, if he doesn't pay it back in a month, I'll call their workplace."

…

The brigade's phone was capable of making long-distance calls, so Wang Cuilan called Lu Jiangting and cried while telling him about the injustice she had suffered.

She said Ye Lian framed their family in their village, so she went to Ye Lian to seek justice, and Ye Lian asked him to pay back the money.

Because of those three hundred dollars, she and her father were being scolded to death, but they dared not seek justice from others and could not even say a single harsh word.
