Chapter 72 Chapter 72 He fell in love with his son’s girlfriend…
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Hui officially moved into the Lu family.
Oh no, it's the Wei family. Because the house has been renovated several times over the years, there is no trace of the Lu family living here.
On the day Yan Hui entered the Wei family, they gave her great respect. Even before they officially got the marriage certificate, they set off firecrackers and hung red lanterns in front of the door. Two large trucks parked at the door were loaded with a lot of newly bought furniture, and they were just short of setting up a table in the yard to invite people for a banquet.
Unfortunately, no matter how lively their family is, no one cares. What good or bad things are there? Anything related to the word "Wei" is considered unlucky for the villagers of Qingping Village.
However, after hearing that the girl who was going to marry into the Wei family had lost her parents early and her family was from another place, the villagers couldn't help but feel sorry for her... Alas, these black-hearted jackals of the Wei family, they wouldn't be thinking of eating up the whole family again, would they?
On the surface, he wants to marry someone, but in reality he wants to lure that person home and kill him?
Thinking about how Lu Chunhua failed to judge people and was fooled by Wei Dongqiang, some soft-hearted aunts and sisters in the village wanted to remind her. When she went out to buy things in the store that afternoon, they took the initiative to come over and talk to her.
"Aunt..."
Just as she was about to speak, when she saw Yan Hui's face, Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment.
"You, who are you?"
Not only Aunt Zhang, but also Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao who came with her couldn't help but gasp.
They had agreed before coming that Aunt Zhang would take the lead and then the others would follow and tell the story of the Lu family in the past. It was obvious that the three of them had been holding it in for a long time and nothing had happened, and the other aunts didn't know what to do.
Yan Hui glanced at them calmly and said to them in a standard Sichuan dialect, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The unfamiliar dialect brought Aunt Zhang back to her senses. She looked carefully at the woman in front of her, opened her mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Excuse me," Yan Hui tidied up the hair around her ears and said in Mandarin again, "I'm from another place, and I just spoke our local dialect. What I meant is, do you need my help?"
Aunt Wang pulled Aunt Zhang, who remained silent, and pulled the corner of her lip awkwardly at her, "No, it's okay, go buy something first."
The operation started off badly, so the aunts and sisters quickly stepped aside and gathered together to discuss the next strategy.
"What are you doing? Are you talking?"
"That's right, you were so energetic yesterday, but today you are speechless when you see people?"
"What's that expression on your face? It's like you saw a ghost."
Looking at Yan Hui who was selecting things in the store, Aunt Zhang's voice trembled slightly: "Don't you think she looks like Xiaoyan?"
"You noticed it too." Aunt Liu followed.
Lu Yan is the little girl from the Lu family who was abducted by human traffickers, the daughter of Lu Chunhua.
Looking back over 20 years ago, when the old man of the Lu family was still the village chief, he loved her like a treasure and always took her with him wherever he went.
Everyone in the village has seen the clever little girl in his family, but some people have had more contact with her and are deeply impressed by her appearance, while others just know her but have never cared about what her nose and eyes look like.
Aunt Zhang has a good relationship with the fourth daughter of the Lu family, who is also Lu Yan's aunt. Lu Yan often came to her aunt's house to play, so even after so many years, Aunt Zhang still remembers what Lu Yan looked like when she was a child.
Looks like it, very much like it!
If Lu Yan could grow up, she would have the face of Wei Wenkai's new wife, right?
But it was said that Lu Yan was abducted by human traffickers and died of illness when she was sold to a mountain village. How could...
After thinking it over carefully, Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: They are just somewhat similar, not exactly the same. There are hundreds of millions of people in the country, and there are people in the same village who look alike. It's nothing to have similar noses and eyes.
And seeing that the woman was speaking a dialect from another place, it was even less likely that she was Lu Yan.
Yes, how could she be Lu Yan?
If it were really Lu Yan, she would have come back with a knife and killed everyone in this family.
When Yan Hui finished shopping and was about to leave, several aunts came to her again, "Girl, can I talk to you about something?"
"Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions, we just want to talk to you about the Wei family."
"Those people in the Wei family are not good people!"
After taking Yan Hui to find a place to live, the aunts told her about the misfortunes that had befallen the Lu family. They also reminded her that she must leave the Wei family as soon as possible to prevent them from eyeing the money left to her by her parents.
At first Yan Hui was very surprised, as if she had heard some horrifying ghost story, but when her aunts told her that they hoped she would keep her parents' money well and leave the Wei family as soon as possible, her tense shoulders relaxed.
"Thank you for your kindness, but you are overthinking it. I have nothing to begin with, what do they want from me?"
"Actually, you don't have to scare me. I'm an adult and I have my own judgment. I've been in contact with them for a long time. I know whether they are good or bad."
"The story you told sounds very realistic, but do you have any evidence? If there was evidence that they had wiped out the whole family, you would have called the police long ago."
"I know it's normal for locals to exclude outsiders, but there's no need to throw dirty water on them. It's not easy for everyone, so why bother?"
Aunts and aunts: ???
"You, Ni'er, why don't you know what's good for you?"
"Think about it, what good will it do for me to throw dirty water on them? Isn't it because I feel sorry for you and want to help you?"
"It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the kindness of a good person!"
The aunts were hurt by Yan Hui's attitude.
After all, what did the Wei family's eating out have to do with them? He didn't spend a penny of their family's money, so why should they be angry with him?
It was because I couldn't bear it and didn't want to see the tragedy of decades ago happen again that I kindly reminded her, hoping that she would realize that this was a den of tigers and wolves and run away quickly.
She didn't want to leave, and she even said she was making up a story?!
Seeing that the aunts were leaving with unhappy faces, Yan Hui took the initiative to thank them for their kindness: "Thank you, anyway, I will pay attention to it next time, thank you, thank you."
The aunts ignored her and went home on their own.
Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. Never mind, just let her be!
On the way home, Yan Hui happened to meet Wei Wenkai who had just returned from the city.
Yan Hui had a lot of stuff in her rental house in the city, and she was idle at home anyway, so Wei Wenkai drove to bring all her things back.
Yan Hui told him about the gossips that the village aunts had told her in the store. Before she could even express her thoughts, Wei Wenkai's anger flared up.
"These bitches are so troublesome. They keep talking about this trivial matter from childhood to adulthood. There is no end to it!"
"What kind of idiot is that? You keep talking about something that doesn't exist for decades and you don't get tired of it?!"
"Who told you that? Come on, point her out to me or I'll tear her mouth apart!"
Yan Hui didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she quickly pulled him back, calmed him down, and gently comforted him, "They seem to be talking so convincingly, but I know they are just making up stories because they are jealous of your family."
Taking Wei Wenkai's arm, she gently leaned her head on his shoulder, "People don't like to see others live too well. Uncle suffered a lot when he was young, and he inherited another family's inheritance all of a sudden. It must be jealous."
Wei Wenkai has been troubled by this "rumor" since he was a child and has suffered a lot.
When he was in the village, people pointed fingers at him, and when he was in school, some people also said bad things about him behind his back.
They said he was Wei Dongqiang's illegitimate son, that his family was all after the Lu family's property, and that his parents were a pair of black-hearted wolves...
At that time, Wei Wenkai didn't understand why his mother, who raised him alone since childhood, found a father for him, and why he was scolded after moving to his father's house.
It was not until he grew up that he realized that he was indeed the "illegitimate child" who should not be seen in public.
He hated Wei Dongqiang.
She hated him for not giving herself and Liu Di a legitimate status in time, hated him for bringing them to his side only after his wife died, and hated that it was because of him that she had been isolated and excluded since childhood.
But he did not believe the rumors spread by villagers that they were "eating out the entire family".
Just as Yan Hui said, if the property was really obtained illegally, why didn't anyone in the village call the police to arrest them?
"Xiao Hui..."
Holding Yan Hui's hand, her understanding instantly transformed Wei Wenkai's anger into warmth.
Stroking his face, Yan Hui smiled slightly, "Although uncle and aunt have never accepted me, I know that they are not that kind of people. Don't worry, I am not such a stupid person who believes everything others say."
Putting his hand on her belly, Yan Hui said, "You can't back down just because of rumors. You're going to be a father in a few months, and our family still depends on you to support it."
Hearing her words, Wei Wenkai couldn't help but straighten his back a little.
"good!"
Gossip in the village spreads faster than the wind. Any little news will spread throughout the village within a day or two.
What's more, the village is going to be demolished now, and the villagers have nothing to do at home during the New Year, so they have more time to chat and gossip.
The fact that Yan Hui and Lu Yan looked somewhat similar soon spread throughout the village.
There are usually few people in front of the Wei family's door, but in the past two days, there have been many curious eyes peeking outside, all wanting to see what the legendary Wei family's daughter-in-law looks like.
Some people say they look alike because she has the same big eyes as Lu Yan;
Some people say they don't look alike, but if we really want to talk about similarities, everyone has two eyes and a mouth and can find similarities.
Later, the relatives of the Lu family also took a few glances from outside the door, and they also felt that they were only four or five percent similar.
After all, Lu Yan was still young at that time. It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up. Even if she could grow up smoothly, no one knew what she would become.
Isn't it the case with the girls in the village? They were chubby when they were young, but grew up to have oval faces. Some had dark "coal-shaped balls" but many also had white and tender "boiled eggs".
It would be a bit too arbitrary to guess that they are the same person just because their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar.
"I heard that Yan Hui looks like Lu Yan?" While watching TV in the bedroom at night, Liu Dilai asked Wei Dongqiang beside her in a low voice.
She and Wei Wenkai arrived later and had never seen what Lu Yan looked like when she was a child. There was no photo of Lu Yan at home. She only heard him say that Lu Yan was a young girl.
Wei Dongqiang did not deny it, but asked her: "Who told you that?"
Just because no one in the village is willing to gossip with Liu Di doesn't mean that these rumors won't reach her ears.
The more Liu Dilai thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong with Yan Hui. Since she appeared, her son had become less close to her and always spoke for her mindlessly. Wei Dongqiang had also become much more distant from her.
She thought she had done nothing wrong. Although she was not very accepting of her son marrying a daughter-in-law from another place, she had never made Yan Hui feel uncomfortable in person. At most, she said a few words to make her have some self-awareness so that she could give up earlier.
But she always managed to attract the attention of the father and son and get them to speak for her.
She pretended to be weak, acted aggrieved, played the role of a green tea girl, and was scheming... It was obvious that her methods were extremely low-level, but the father and son were like they had been drugged and could not see through her tricks at all.
Wei Wenkai is fine, he is young and it is understandable that he cannot distinguish right from wrong when he is so obsessed with love.
Wei Dongqiang was different. He ran a company in the city. What kind of people had he not come into contact with? She didn't believe that he couldn't see that Yan Hui was pretending to be pitiful.
Unless he knew from the beginning that Yan Hui was Lu Yan, and he regretted what he had done in the past, and wanted to make it up to her, so he condoned her actions.
"Are you ill?"
Before Liu Di could finish her words, Wei Dongqiang glanced at her with a strange look and changed his tone of voice: "How could she be Xiaoyan? Xiaoyan has been dead for many years. I think you have been sitting at home doing nothing every day, watching TV and your brain has gone stupid, right?!"
Back then, after Wei Dongqiang and Lu Chunhua got married, they spent time with Lu Yan every day. Even after more than 20 years, he still remembers the little girl who would call him "Dad" in a childish voice.
To be honest, Lu Yan and Yan Hui do have some similarities.
When he first met Yan Hui, Lu Yan's naive little face appeared in his mind, but after a period of contact, he found that they were completely two different people.
Let alone other things, just the fact that Yan Hui is from Sichuan Province and Lv Yan is from Henan Province; Yan Hui is 29 this year and Lv Yan is only 26 years old; Yan Hui is left-handed and Lv Yan's dominant hand is her right hand... Every single one of these can prove that she and Lv Yan are not the same person.
As for why he favored an outsider, he did feel a little guilty at first, but later he was filled with heartache and pity.
Yan Hui is a very strong and independent girl. She is very capable in the company and can do the work of three or four people alone. She does things neatly and beautifully and never makes anyone worry.
Knowing that she was in love with his son, Wei Dongqiang agreed with both hands. After all, Wei Wenqiang had a hot temper and acted rashly, so it would be great for him to have a caring and sensible person to be his good wife.
But he soon discovered that Yan Hui was not dating him voluntarily, but had to stay with him.
Wei Wenqiang has a strong desire to control her. On the surface, he is very caring and attentive to her, and wants to stick by her side all the time. They are very loving and sweet in front of others, but only Wei Dongqiang has seen her secretly crying and the "accidental" scars on her body.
As a father, he felt sorry for his son's behavior, so he subconsciously took better care of her.
But at some point, he found that his feelings for her had changed, and he began to want to take care of her and protect her.
He fell in love with her, his son's girlfriend.
Wei Dongqiang also knew that what he did was wrong, but he couldn't control himself. Even though there was a generation gap and an age gap of more than 20 years between them, he couldn't stop himself from getting deeper and deeper.
Until that night, Yan Hui accompanied him to a social event, and he was helped to the hotel after getting drunk...
"What do you mean by watching too much TV and becoming stupid? What's wrong with what I said?" Liu Dilai insisted, "That's right. Ask yourself, have you been looking for trouble every day in the past two years?"
"Looking for trouble, who is looking for trouble?"
Wei Dongqiang switched the TV channel impatiently, "Who is urging me to get my household registration and house every day? Even the King of Hell wouldn't urge the little ghosts like this!"
"If you have the ability, how could I urge you? Why don't you say that it's your own fault?" Liu Dilai retorted.
"You're still saying I'm pushing you. But what's the use of pushing you? You still haven't done anything. You can't even transfer your household registration. You still have the nerve to say I'm pushing you. If I didn't push you, you might not be able to do anything better."
"Just tell me, is there anything in our family that I didn't urge you to do? If I didn't urge you, would you have the ability to do it? If I didn't urge you, would our family be able to make so much money?"
Wei Dongqiang: ???
It's unreasonable, absolutely unreasonable!
How can things be done just by urging?
It's not that he didn't handle the household registration issue, but every village has its own rules. Even if he went to many city officials, it just couldn't be done. What else could he do?
As for the things happening in the company, they have nothing to do with her. They are the result of her careful management. How can she, who can't even read a few words, help?
Looking at Liu Dilai's ugly face and the spit flying when she spoke, Wei Dongqiang couldn't stand her anymore.
He has been enduring it ever since he married her, and has been enduring it for more than 20 years.
He remembered that when he first met Liu Di when he was young, she was not like this. She was hardworking, kind, and virtuous... How could she become so unreasonable now? If it weren't for the sake of the child, he would never have tolerated her for so long.
I can only say that she disguised herself too well when we first met, and I blame myself for not being able to see through her mask back then.
"Say it? Say it now?" Liu Dilai was still pushing Wei Dongqiang beside her.
"I don't want to bother with you."
Wei Dongqiang couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and slammed the door while holding a cigarette and a lighter.
Next door, Wei Wenkai, who had just packed up and prepared to go to bed, heard the noise. After Wei Dongqiang went downstairs, he came to their bedroom.
This was not the first time they had quarreled. They had a fight every three days and a quarrel every five days. Even now during the New Year they could not have peace. Wei Wenkai was getting a little fed up with the quarrels.
"What's going on?"
She put on a coat and came to their door. She saw Wei Wenkai sitting on the bed and comforting Liu Di. Yan Hui pointed in the direction of downstairs and indicated that she should go downstairs to persuade Wei Dongqiang as well.
"Nothing."
Liu Di didn't say it directly at first. After hearing Yan Hui coming downstairs, she whispered to her son, "I just told him that Xiaohui looks like Xiaoyan from the Lu family, and he said I was sick."
Liu Dilai told her son what had just happened in detail, hoping to gain his sympathy.
"Who told you that?"
"People in the village are spreading it, I heard it," Liu Dilai said logically, "I thought your father had raised Xiaoyan for a few years, so I asked him, you tell me, if it's not true, then it's not true. I didn't say anything, but he insisted on scolding me."
"You did this wrong, and you have nothing to say even if I scold you."
Liu Dilai: ???
"Whose son are you? Why don't you speak for your mother?"
“That’s right.”
Wei Wenkai usually doesn't stand on Wei Dongqiang's side, but today, he thinks Wei Dongqiang was right to scold him.
"You just listen to what others say. Outsiders just want to sow discord among our family. Can't you see that?"
"Xiao Hui told me a few days ago that someone in the village was gossiping about my family. But Xiao Hui didn't believe it at all and even spoke up for my family."
"You are so good, you just believed what others said to you on purpose?"
It’s not that Wei Wenkai didn’t hear the gossip in the village, but like Wei Dongqiang, he didn’t think Yan Hui was Xiaoyan. At most, they just looked a little similar.
Moreover, many villagers also said that they didn't look alike. We can't just link two unrelated people together based on a few words from outsiders.
Yan Hui is Yan Hui, the wife he is about to marry and the mother of his future children. He will not allow anyone to slander her, including his family members!
Downstairs, Yan Hui, knowing the reason for their quarrel, asked him gently, "Do Lu Yan and I really look alike?"
"Don't think too much about it. She only looks a little bit like her when she was a child." Putting the cigarette back into the cigarette box, Wei Dongqiang sighed, "She just doesn't like you and is deliberately looking for trouble."
Holding Wei Dongqiang's hand, she slowly leaned her head on his shoulder, and their fingers were interlocked.
"Don't be angry. It's New Year's Day, so we should be friendly."
One is gentle as water, the other is arrogant and fierce.
The more he made such comparisons, the more Wei Dongqiang hated the person upstairs who had lived with him for decades.
Wei Dongqiang put his arm around Yan Hui's shoulders and vented his anger. He then turned around and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry. Even if she doesn't like you anymore, I will definitely protect you and the baby in your belly."
Yan Hui smiled and said "hmm", then stood up from the sofa and sat on his lap and acted coquettishly like she did when she was a child.
Now she has grown up and is no longer a little swallow in the nest. After flying outside for so many years, she has long acquired the ability to protect herself.
