Chapter 82: Lu Bin's Mistrust
Father Liu originally wanted to escape with the intention of saving his life.
At this moment, he was being pulled by Liu Yingying, and with the strange looks from the villagers, for a moment, Liu's father was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
I don't know what to do at all.
He had never expected that Liu Yingying would hold him tightly and not let go.
He gritted his teeth and threatened Liu Yingying:
"Don't you understand what I mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. You did this alone, so you should take the responsibility alone. Don't drag me down with you."
"When you were little, every time you made trouble, I, as your father, had to clean up your mess. Now, I'm old, and there are things I can't do. My old arms and bones can't stand the tossing."
"It's true that I dragged you to the educated youth center, but you should at least understand that it was because you lied. I mistakenly thought that you were bullied by Jiang Xian, which led to the current situation."
"If you had chosen to tell the truth from the very beginning, then all of this could have been avoided."
Father Liu has not forgotten what Jiang Xian said to everyone just now. If Liu Yingying had not gone to the educated youth site to find fault with others last night, no one would have ever told others that Liu Yingying pushed her into the water.
This is not something Liu Yingying caused herself.
Then it would be most appropriate to let her bear the responsibility herself.
But he is his biological son after all, so Liu's father thought about it and added a few words.
"If Lu Bin wanted to hit you, then you deserved it. Who told you to have nothing better to do than push Jiang Xian into the water?"
"You are still young, and your wounds heal quickly. If you are beaten half-life-destroying and lie in bed, you will be almost healed in a few days. But it is different for me. I am almost sixty years old. If I am beaten and disabled, I will have to lie in bed for the rest of my life. I don't want to live such a miserable life."
The tone of Liu's father's words was very selfish. All he thought about was himself, and he didn't consider Liu Yingying at all.
He is now trying every possible way to get himself out of this matter. Liu Yingying felt heartbroken when she heard this.
Now she finally saw Liu Fu's true face.
Rather than saying that he has always loved his daughter, in the final analysis, what he loves the most is himself, and he can't bear to let himself suffer any anger.
It's true that Liu Yingying angered Lu Bin, but that doesn't mean she has to be beaten. As a father, is Liu's father just here to eat and do nothing? Doesn't he know to help her pull it out?
Knowing that Lu Bin was not someone who could be trifled with, he still left his daughter, who was in her early twenties, here to face the storm alone. Liu Yingying felt overwhelmed just thinking about it.
Jiang Xian was stunned when he saw what Liu's father did. He didn't expect that Liu's father would do this. He really didn't know what to say. For a moment, Jiang Xian even felt sorry for Liu Yingying.
As for Lu Bin, he originally had a dark face, but after hearing what Jiang Xian said, he looked towards Liu Yingying.
Over the years, he had heard the rumors about him from the villagers.
But he was naturally very clear about the specific situation and his physical condition.
It was obvious that he had no problems at all and was very healthy.
He didn't want to explain the misleading information from the villagers, and he was too lazy to explain it.
To be honest, he himself knows that he has a good appearance.
Before those rumors spread, many girls of the same age in the village surrounded him, stuck to him, and wanted to marry him.
Even though his family situation was so bad, his parents were sick and needed money for medicine. Although they could have enough food and clothing, they were still much poorer than normal families in the village.
Under such circumstances, Lu Bin had many suitors around him. Lu Bin had never been interested in love affairs, and he had no interest in his future marriage status.
If it weren't for saving Jiang Xian, he probably wouldn't have considered getting married until now.
He always felt that if one person was well fed, the whole family would not be hungry, and this was a pretty good situation. If he got married and had a small family, he would have to spend his life revolving around his wife and children.
Although that might be quite happy, it would undoubtedly be a trouble for him.
It takes money to support a family and raise children. The money he earns now is only enough to maintain the family and basic daily expenses. If there are a few more people, he will find it a bit difficult.
If you can't give the girl a stable and happy life, then it's better to just give up.
He also knew in his heart that the rumors about his body were basically spread by boys of his age in the village. After all, if these girls' minds were all on him, then the boys around him would have to remain single. In order to find wives, they would of course spread rumors to death if they got the chance.
Lu Bin was also annoyed by these people who stuck to him, so he just went along with it and accepted it. Ever since the rumor spread, there were indeed no young girls who would stick around him anymore.
He also enjoys quietness.
As time went by, he didn't explain. Plus, people were quite conservative in that era. Even his biological parents found it difficult to talk about this matter. They were too embarrassed to talk to him and ask him about the real situation.
As for those families in the village who originally wanted him to be their son-in-law, after hearing the rumor, naturally no one was willing to let their daughters marry him and become widows. In addition, there were rumors that he was infertile. If he had no children for his entire life, how hard would his life be in the future? Therefore, those families gave up the idea.
Even the person who proposed marriage was gone.
As for Lu's father and mother, they did want to take care of Lu Bin's health, but they were somewhat powerless. After all, they could not take care of themselves. Over time, this matter has been delayed until today.
Lu's mother had always wanted Lu Bin to see a doctor, but every time she brought it up, Lu Bin would directly refuse.
Because he knew that there was absolutely no need for that.
Even though he was seriously injured while saving people, his injuries were not serious. He recovered completely after resting for a while.
There is no need to go to the hospital and spend money on a physical examination.
He was in good health, and he couldn't explain this to his parents.
But it was precisely his character of not liking to explain things to others that made people's misunderstandings deepen.
Seeing their son's evasive behavior, Lu's father and mother took the rumors about his poor health seriously. Therefore, they have always avoided talking about this topic in their family. Only his two blind sisters-in-law would bring up these words from time to time to humiliate Lu Bin, but Lu Bin didn't care.
Lu Bin is the kind of person who is too lazy to prove himself, because he feels that sometimes, some things can be explained clearly without his explanation.
Judging from the speed at which the villagers spread rumors, he would only make things worse. Even if he explained that there was nothing wrong with his health, no one would probably believe him.
People prefer to believe the idea that is closer to their hearts, and think that his anxious explanation is nothing more than that he is old and wants to get married. But now, he has already married a wife, so those rumors are naturally less important.
When Lu Bin thought of this, he suddenly realized that he really didn't care about this, but what about Jiang Xian?
What if Jiang Xian minds this and misunderstands?
Lu Bin looked thoughtful and turned to look at Jiang Xian's expression. He saw that she looked calm, as if she didn't mind at all.
This doesn't seem right.
Logically speaking, no woman would be able to resist asking about the matter when hearing someone say that her husband is not good enough.
If Liu Yingying had gone to the educated youth site to cause trouble yesterday, the incident would have happened overnight, and this morning too had passed, but Jiang Xian had not asked him about it or gone to look for him.
This is very wrong.
Unless Jiang Xian didn't care at all, otherwise, he shouldn't have such a reaction.
If it were someone else, after hearing about this, they would probably take the initiative to come over and ask the reason and confirm the truth of the matter. If he was really not capable, I'm afraid the woman would also take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
But Jiang Xian had none of these.
Lu Bin couldn't help but feel confused. He didn't understand if Jiang Xian really didn't mind, or if he just didn't care about him at all, or didn't care whether he was capable or not. Perhaps, the two of them got married from the beginning to the end just to make do.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Xian never thought about living a good life with him?
It is because of helplessness that the two people are tied together. If Jiang Xian were given a chance, would he choose to divorce him without hesitation?
Lu Bin couldn't help but become worried, but in his life, there was no word divorce. Since he and Jiang Xian had already obtained a marriage certificate, he couldn't think of any other reason to divorce Jiang Xian in this life, except death.
But to be honest, although it was right for him to think so, after all, he was not the kind of man who liked to force a woman. If Jiang Xian and him were not happy in the future, he would be willing to let go. After all, there was no need to waste time together. A forced melon is not sweet.
But soon, Lu Bin felt that what he thought was completely wrong.
He still remembered that yesterday, when he was chatting with Jiang Xian, Jiang Xian had clearly said that she married him because she wanted to live a good life with him. Was it a bit too much for him to doubt this now?
Lu Bin was reflecting on himself in his heart, and when he looked at Jiang Xian again, his eyes were filled with complexity and guilt.
Jiang Xian had been paying attention to the expressions of Liu's father and Liu Yingying's father and daughter. She thought, now that things have come to this, she would like to see what else Liu's father and daughter can do.
She noticed the man staring at her. His gaze was hard to ignore. It was difficult for her to pretend not to see it.
Jiang Xian couldn't help but feel confused, wondering why Lu Bin had been staring at her. There was nothing wrong with her face. Shouldn't the people who should be dealt with now be Liu Yingying and Liu's father? It seemed that she couldn't solve the problem.
Jiang Xian has always been a straightforward person, and when she saw Lu Bin looking at her with a complicated gaze, she immediately looked up and met the man's eyes.
There was inquiry and questioning in Jiang Xian's eyes.
That look seemed to be asking Lu Bin, why are you looking at me.
From this perspective, Lu Bin seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
Especially when he thought about what happened just now, that he actually suspected Jiang Xian, Lu Bin felt extremely guilty.
He touched his nose and forced himself to look away, away from Jiang Xian.
But he was thinking in his heart that after everyone had left and the matter was resolved, he would explain to Jiang Xian about his health. After all, they were already married, and this was quite important in their future life. So, it would be better to make it clear as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings from Jiang Xian.
Jiang Xian never mentioned it because he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem as a man, but this is also possible.
Lu Bin suddenly felt that this feeling of being misunderstood was really weird.
But now is obviously not the time to talk about this matter in front of so many people. What he should deal with most right now is the matter concerning the Liu family's father and daughter.
Lu Bin sneered and recalled what Jiang Xian had just said to the village chief. Then he turned around and looked at Liu Yingying.
Looking at Liu Yingying's frightened expression, Lu Bin couldn't help but think sarcastically in his heart, is it possible that Liu Yingying has grown up without any brains? Anyone would probably know that trouble comes from the mouth.
Since she dared to say those words, she should have thought about what price she would have to pay when these words reached his ears.
