Chapter 421: Catching Adultery
Li Wei followed Lu Ya and watched as she sold off the things he had given to Zhang Qiuhua.
His heart was bleeding, but he couldn't stop Lu Ya at all.
He knew very well that Lu Ya was a pampered young lady from her family, and she absolutely could not live without money.
The young lady simply cannot endure hardship.
Forget pagers and watches, she'll sell anything if she's pushed to the limit.
This few hundred yuan can last her for a while, but once the money runs out, she has no plans to go back to work.
At that point, I'll have no choice but to ask my family for help.
Hopefully, she will be able to reconcile with her family by then.
There is still more than a month until the Chinese New Year.
He gave Lu Ya more than a month.
After the New Year, he will have to change jobs.
I must make a lot of money.
........
Lu Ya took the money and looked happily at the absent-minded Li Wei. She spoke up with delight.
"Brother Wei, look, we're rich now."
Li Wei snapped out of his daze, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "That's a lot of money."
But he spent far more than six hundred on those things back then.
The pager alone cost them nearly half their money.
Lu Ya is such an idiot. She sold the stuff for a pittance and is still so happy.
Lu Ya lost money and counted it, then took out two fifty-yuan bills and handed them to Li Wei.
"Brother Wei, you can keep this hundred yuan. I'll keep the rest for us. This is all the money we have right now, so we have to be careful with it."
Seeing this, Li Wei quickly took the money, saying, "Thank you, Xiaoya."
The only redeeming quality of this idiot is his generosity.
He keeps saying he should be frugal, but he gives him a hundred yuan as pocket money.
That's a month's salary for him.
Of course, Li Wei was inwardly complaining, but he was still glad about her generosity.
He desperately needs money right now.
Not only does he need it, but there are others who need it even more.
Lu Ya packed the money, took Li Wei's arm, and said, "Brother Wei, let's go home."
Li Wei withdrew his hand, looked at her, and said apologetically, "Xiaoya, I suddenly remembered that we need to go to the factory early this afternoon. There's a problem with the equipment, and they want us to get there as soon as possible to fix it."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Lu Ya's eyes. She looked at him with concern and asked, "But you haven't rested at all. Is it okay for you to go to work now? Won't your body be able to handle it?"
Li Wei said, "It's okay. When we work the night shift, we can take turns sleeping in the middle of the night. I'm actually not that sleepy."
Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Lu Ya nodded understandingly, "Okay, go ahead then, remember to eat dinner tonight."
Li Wei replied, "Okay, remember to lock the door when you get back. Those men in the yard aren't good people; don't pay any attention to them."
"Okay."
Li Wei said goodbye to Lu Ya and got on the bus.
As Lu Ya watched the bus start moving, she quickly hailed a taxi on the roadside.
She said to the middle-aged taxi driver, "Uncle, please follow behind the bus in front. Please drive slowly and stop when it stops. I need to see everyone getting off at each stop."
"Miss, what's wrong?" The taxi driver looked at her with suspicion and wariness.
Lu Ya had a sudden inspiration and explained.
“My brother had a fight with my parents and ran away from home. My parents asked me to come with him because they were afraid he might do something rash in the heat of the moment.”
The taxi driver was also a kind-hearted person, and upon hearing Lu Ya's words, he immediately took them seriously.
Then I followed the bus closely.
He would stop the bus at each stop.
Lu Ya was asked to check if her brother had gotten off the bus.
"Uncle, he didn't get off the bus. Let's keep following him."
When the bus arrives at a stop near a department store.
Lu Ya saw that familiar figure get out of the car.
She pleaded with the taxi driver, "Uncle, could you please wait here for a moment? He should have gone inside to buy something, he'll be out in a bit."
She added, "I can pay for your waiting time."
"Young lady, aren't you going to go down and take a look?" the taxi driver asked.
"No need to follow me. I'm afraid he'll get even more agitated if he sees me."
Lu Ya sat in the taxi and waited.
About twenty minutes later, I saw that familiar figure hurrying out, carrying a bag in her hand.
Then, I walked to the bus stop in front and took the bus.
The taxi continued to follow.
Looking at the direction the bus was heading, Lu Ya changed her mind again. "Uncle, could you please take me to Nancheng Teachers' College?"
The master asked, "Young lady, aren't you coming along?"
Lu Ya smiled and said, "No need. Judging from his condition, he should be fine."
"Okay." The taxi driver arrived at Nancheng Normal College.
Lu Ya paid and got out of the car.
The small shop next to the school is selling woolen hats again.
She noticed it the last time she came over.
She went in and picked out a brown hat.
I took out a mask from my bag and put it on.
Then, I found an inconspicuous corner and squatted down.
She's gambling.
Although she already knew the answer in her heart, she still gambled that Li Wei wouldn't show up here.
However..........
She watched the man hurrying into the gate of Nancheng Normal College with dim eyes, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
See? She lost the bet again.
She got up, rubbed her numb calves, took off her cotton coat, turned it inside out, and put it back on.
Her snowflake-patterned shirt is reversible.
The inside was her least favorite pink color, and she had never worn it inside out before.
This is the first time.
Now she's fully armed, and even her own mother might not recognize her if she stood right in front of her.
She walked straight to the girls' dormitory area and strolled around there like a student from a teachers' college.
Sure enough, near the dormitory, by the sycamore tree where leaves had fallen, she saw the scene she least wanted to see.
"Qiuhua, this is a coat I gave you. It's a cotton coat. Put it on quickly."
Li Wei looked at the girl wearing a thin sweater, his eyes filled with heartache.
He kept stuffing the light blue cotton coat he had taken out of the bag into her hands.
Zhang Qiuhua crossed her arms, looked at him, and sneered.
"Li Wei, what do you mean? Are you trying to humiliate me again?"
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful. "Did you and your rich heiress boyfriend deliberately play a trick on me? You deliberately bought me things, and then that girl came and asked for them back in front of the whole dorm. What do you mean by this? Are you getting revenge for me rejecting you back then?"
Li Wei hurriedly said, "Qiuhua, it's not like that, it really isn't like that."
"Qiuhua, let me explain. I truly love you."
He was humble and cautious in front of Zhang Qiuhua, "You know, we both come from the countryside. In order to settle down in the city and make a living, there are always too many things we have to do. You should be able to understand my predicament."
“I’ve liked you since junior high school, and my feelings for you have never changed over the years. My biggest wish now is to become rich and powerful. Then I can break off your engagement with that butcher’s family, and you’ll be free.”
