Chapter 10: Complex Feelings
After Lu Zhaodi confirmed that Lu Xiang wasn't a reborn person, her initial enthusiasm for her faded. She didn't apologize and simply turned and left.
Lu Zhaodi still hated Lu Xiang for talking nonsense in front of Li Yucai.
Returning to the front yard from the backyard, she saw Fu Qinhui still standing there. Lu Zhaodi said, "Brother Qinhui, Xiangxiang is still angry." After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had a thousand words to say.
Fu Qinhui said: "I know."
Lu Zhaodi gave him a look full of affection. Although Fu Qinhui hated Lu Xiang for deceiving him and not telling him at the first time, he had no good face towards Lu Zhaodi!
The Fu family finished their meal early, and when they saw that Fu Qinhui hadn't returned yet, they immediately sent someone to look for him. Fu Sansao came out and found out that Lu Xiang didn't agree to go back with Fu Qinhui, and the situation was still at a stalemate.
Mrs. Fu San walked over and saw Lu Zhaodi being held back by someone.
Everyone knew that Mrs. Fu San was a talkative person, so if they wanted to find out something, they asked her to stay and talk about the Fu family.
Although everyone knew the general situation, they still wanted to know how they found out. It seemed dramatic, and the villagers loved gossip.
Everyone is so enthusiastic.
Mrs. Fu San came here with a mission today. Her mother-in-law, Xiao Cailian, asked her to take the fourth son and his wife back home. She didn't want her to work in vain. Xiao Cailian said that if she did it well, she would give her a spoonful of honey.
The honey was from my mother-in-law's family. It was real wild honey. If you tried to get some, you'd get stung by bees. This good thing couldn't be bought even with money. My mother-in-law treated it so preciously that she gave it to her grandchildren several times. Her sons couldn't get any, and her daughter-in-law had to stand aside.
If she could coax the two of them back and become the first daughter-in-law to drink the honey, she would be able to brag about it for ten days or half a month.
Mrs. Fu didn't have the time to chat with the people around her. She just felt a little disgusted when she saw Lu Zhaodi: "If you don't want to get married, why don't you say so earlier? Who can force you? Look at what happened in your family. I'm ashamed for you."
Lu Zhaodi's tears fell again because of the scolding.
Although the people around them also knew how things had developed, they still felt sorry for Lu Zhaodi: "This is not her fault. It has nothing to do with her!"
"Yes, he is a child after all."
Mrs. Fu San was always willing to give in. She said, "Come on, she's about to get married, who would still treat her like a child? She should at least tell others about what's happening at home. She's been hiding it so well."
Mrs. Fu said, "She went out to wash clothes so early in the morning. Our neighbors even asked us why we let our new daughter-in-law do the laundry. And you've ruined Lu Xiang's life. She's just hunched over everything and pretended she didn't know. Don't you think you're the only smart person in the world?"
Lu Zhaodi clenched her fists in anger, but couldn't refute a single word. She hated the countryside even more. As an unmarried woman, she couldn't argue with a young wife.
Ever since she had that dream, everything around her made her feel particularly uncomfortable, and she wanted to escape from this suffocating village as soon as possible.
With just a few words, Mrs. Fu drove Lu Zhaodi away. The people around her were also embarrassed. Seeing that Mrs. Fu was very angry, no one dared to provoke her.
From a distance, she saw Fu Qinhui standing next to Lu Xiang's low, dilapidated house. When Fu Sansao married, Fu Qinhui was still in school and treated her brother-in-law like a younger brother. From a distance, she said, "Qinhui's mother asked you two to go back and left a big loaf of bread for you. Where's your wife?" She spoke deliberately loudly.
Fu Qinhui glanced at Lu Xiang's door hesitantly, wanting to say something, but with so many people watching outside, he didn't open his mouth in the end.
Mrs. Fu didn't take it seriously. She took Fu Qinhui and went to knock on Lu Xiang's door, saying, "My dear... open the door."
The door opened, and it was Lu Xiang's mother. Fu Sansao, without a trace of shyness, led Fu Qinhui inside. The room was incredibly dark, and it seemed like such a shabby little house wasn't often lived in in the village. It couldn't compare to the gleaming new house built by the Fu family.
Lu Xiang's parents are both honest people, and they feel a little guilty about what happened to the Fu family.
They had been suffering in the house for as long as Fu Qinhui had been standing outside.
Fu Sansao said: "Uncle, aunt, I am Fu Qinhui's third sister-in-law. Now that this has happened, we have to find a solution."
Lu Danian was silent for a long time, and finally moved his lips and said, "We are sorry to Lu Xiang and your Fu family."
Mrs. Fu then gave Fu Qinhui a push and said, "I'm not bragging about my brother-in-law. You wouldn't find one as handsome as him anywhere else. He's a serious college graduate and now works as an accountant at the supply and marketing cooperative. They say love is made by a thread, and it's true. I think we can make the best of a bad situation and find a good match."
Fu Qinhui said: "This is the three hundred yuan my mother asked me to give you!"
As soon as the words came out, Lu Danian and Lu Xiang's mother were very happy, proving that the old lady agreed with their relationship.
Lu Xiang said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to get married." After all, she probably wouldn't be allowed to marry again after something like this happened. It was just the right time for her to help her family earn some money and improve their living conditions.
Before Mrs. Fu San came, she heard that Fu Qinhui had been standing outside for a long time. She knew in her heart that she would have such an attitude. At this moment, she just took Lu Xiang to her small room and said, "Come, I want to talk to you." Then she took Lu Xiang over.
Mrs. Fu said, "Silly girl, with such a good match, why are you hesitating? Qin Hui's conditions are all there, even their leader's daughter wants to marry him. My mother-in-law wants to find someone she knows well, so she chose from the village. We women are not as good as men. Men can always find someone, but women are not necessarily the same."
Mrs. Fu San continued, "I'm saying this because I think you're my own sister. I know you're shy and the villagers are gossiping about you, but let others talk about others. We still have to live our own lives. Listening to them barking every day is pointless. My mother-in-law wanted to beat you this morning, but she was just angry. She's just a bit sharp-tongued, but she's kind-hearted. She's usually quite nice."
Lu Xiang said: "Thank you, Third Sister-in-law, but I have made up my mind."
Mrs. Fu didn't expect that despite all her good words, Lu Xiang remained unmoved. She then came out and asked Fu Qinhui to come in, saying that she was going out to talk to Lu Xiang's mother.
Lu Xiang's room was very small, but it was very clean. When Fu Qinhui came in, he could still smell a faint fragrance coming from the bed.
Fu Qinhui had mixed feelings about Lu Xiang, thinking she was a liar who had deceived them all by marrying her in a replacement marriage. He was furious with her, but he didn't want her to leave like this and be talked about by the whole village.
