Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Uncle Visits
The Lu family did not agree with Lu Jianjun marrying Shu Meilan, especially the old man of the Lu family. He had his eyes on Shu Niannian as his granddaughter-in-law, but why did it become Shu Meilan when it came to the wedding? Especially when he learned from Lu Jianjun that Shu Meilan was not Shu Chengzu's biological granddaughter, but a burden brought by Yang Guihua who remarried into the Shu family, the old man's opposition became even more intense.
He wanted to marry Shu Chengzu to repay Shu Chengzu for saving his life, but also because he was attracted by the Shu family's inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine. Shu Niannian was Shu Chengzu's bloodline, so there was no doubt about her roots, so he was willing to let Shu Niannian come in.
What is Shu Meilan?
Not to mention that she is not good-looking, from this incident, it can be seen that this Shu Meilan has a bad temper. She has already given Lu Jianjun a death order, asking Lu Jianjun to go to Shujia Village and ask Shu Niannian to apologize, and even if he has to beg, he must beg Shu Niannian to marry him.
Lu Jianjun knew his grandfather's temper. If he said he would not let Shu Meilan in, then he would never let Shu Meilan in. There was no other way. Now that things had come to this, he could only go to Shujia Village to ask for Shu Niannian's forgiveness.
Having just been scolded by Shu Wenhui the day before yesterday, Lu Jianjun is now a little timid. He doesn't dare to go to Shujia Village alone, for fear of being beaten and also feels embarrassed.
He went to find Ye Jinhong and told him everything. "Uncle, I really have no other choice. How about you go with me?"
Lu Jianjun thought that Ye Jinhong was an elder after all, and Shu Wenhui should give Ye Jinhong some face no matter what. Besides, his uncle looked dignified and calm, and was someone who could control the situation.
After learning about Lu Jianjun's situation in Shujia Village, Ye Jinhong said nothing but glanced at him coldly. Lu Jianjun didn't dare to say anything either. He had suffered countless cold stares in the past two days, not to mention Ye Jinhong.
"Please, uncle!" Lu Jianjun, with a colorful face, shook Ye Jinhong's arm and acted coquettishly.
Ye Jinhong hesitated for a moment and asked Lu Jianjun, "Do you like that Shu Meilan?"
Lu Jianjun was a little embarrassed. "I can't say I like her that much. It's just that when I see Shu Meilan, I get confused and think I should be nicer to her. I don't have this strange feeling when I can't see her."
Lu Jianjun himself couldn't explain why he had this mentality, but as long as Shu Meilan was involved, he would easily compromise. For example, the last time Shu Guoqiang came to him, his first reaction was "I want to go see her", but why he wanted to go see her and from what position he wanted to see her, Lu Jianjun had no idea.
He considered himself to be a very rational person who knew how to weigh the pros and cons. Reason told him that under the current circumstances, he should stay away from Shu Meilan, not talk to her or meet her. However, he still rushed to Shujia Village alone overnight and went to the old house to see her as Shu Meilan had asked.
Lu Jianjun was a little annoyed.
Ye Jinhong was pulled out of the army by Lu Jianjun. Without even having time to change his clothes, he followed Lu Jianjun to Shujia Village. They set out in the morning and arrived at the county town in the early morning. Ye Jinhong had never been here before, but Lu Jianjun was familiar with the place. He found a tractor that was pulling crops and gave the driver some money, and the driver agreed to give them a ride.
The winter wind was blowing hard, and the tractor had no shed. The driver and Lu Jianjun were shivering from the cold, with their necks hunched. However, Ye Jinhong sat there motionless and steady, not taking the cold wind seriously.
They soon arrived at Shujia Village. Lu Jianjun stood at the entrance of the village and didn't dare to go in. Ye Jinhong didn't say much. He just asked with a heavy face a passing lady where Shu Niannian's home was.
After what happened between Lu Jianjun and Shu Meilan, the entire Shujia Village now feels sorry for Shu Niannian. She was supposed to get married at the end of the year, but who would have thought that her fiancé would go out with her cousin.
What is this!
The old lady squinted her eyes at Ye Jinhong and asked, "Who are you to Nian Nian's family? Why are you looking for her?"
Ye Jinhong just said, "Relatives."
When the old lady saw Ye Jinhong in military uniform and looking very righteous, she pointed him in the direction. After thanking him, Ye Jinhong walked straight towards Shu Niannian's house. Lu Jianjun wanted to follow him, but he took a step forward and then took it back. He didn't want to go to Shu Niannian's house. He was afraid that if Shu Niannian complained, his uncle would suddenly change sides, which would be troublesome.
Shu Wenhui beat him up alone and left him with a black eye. What if his uncle and Shu Wenhui played a mixed doubles game? Would he still be able to survive? !
No! Can't go now!
Ye Jinhong ignored Lu Jianjun and walked straight to the door of Shu Niannian's house. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Shu Niannian opened the door and came out. Shu Niannian was stunned when she saw Ye Jinhong. After a moment of stunned silence, a huge surprise flashed on her face, "Uncle! Why are you here?!"
Shu Niannian quickly opened the door to let Ye Jinhong in. Li Guifen was also very surprised to see Ye Jinhong. He hadn't seen Ye Jinhong for many years. Li Guifen quickly poured tea for Ye Jinhong and greeted him, "The last time I saw you was about 10 years ago. At that time, Niannian was only 8 years old. I took her to visit Haicheng, and you happened to be there too."
Arriving in Haicheng, Li Guifen's expression became unnatural.
Who could have thought that a good relationship between in-laws would suddenly fall apart.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Ye Jinhong was silent for a moment, then said to Li Guifen, "I have a few words I want to say to Nian Nian alone. I wonder if it's convenient."
Li Guifen is also a sensible person. When she saw Ye Jinhong today, she knew that Ye Jinhong was speaking on Lu Jianjun's behalf. She understood that it was embarrassing for children to speak up in front of an elder like her when it came to children's affairs.
"Okay, you guys talk, I'll go get lunch. Don't leave at noon today. Please don't be disgusted by the simple meals at home!"
After Li Guifen finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen. When she got to the kitchen, she realized that she was in a big trouble. She was the elder, and Ye Jinhong was also an elder. He was Lu Jianjun's uncle. Although he was younger, there was still a generation gap between them.
Li Guifen was picking vegetables while thinking, who cares, it will soon have nothing to do with them anyway. As long as Nian Nian doesn't enter the Lu family, it doesn't matter whose uncle Ye Jinhong is and what does it have to do with them?
Ye Jinhong looked at Shu Niannian. He thought that after this incident, Shu Niannian would cry, would not be able to sleep at night, would be sad and upset. But in fact, Shu Niannian's face was rosy, her eyes were bright, and there was even a physics book that had just been flipped in her hand.
Ye Jinhong placed his big hands on his knees, tapped them lightly with his fingers, and asked, "What do you think about you and Jianjun?"
Shu Niannian chuckled, "Uncle, what do you think I can think of?"
Ye Jinhong's voice was low, like a low cannon with its own echo, "I mean, if you still want to marry Jianjun, what are your conditions?"
Shu Niannian stopped smiling, "Oh, uncle is here to persuade me to marry Lu Jianjun?"
Ye Jinhong looked at Shu Niannian's palm-sized face and suddenly felt a little nervous. He waved his hands quickly, "No, I came to ask for your opinion. I didn't mean to persuade you to marry Jianjun."
Shu Niannian was satisfied now. "Two days ago, my grandfather wrote a letter of withdrawal of engagement to Grandpa Lu. I guess it has been sent to Grandpa Lu, right?"
Ye Jinhong nodded. After Lu Jianjun returned home, he did not dare to mention this matter to his family. If the old man of the Lu family had not suddenly received the letter of cancellation of engagement, he would still be kept in the dark.
Although the older generation does things in an old-fashioned way, the rules and regulations are very clear. Shu Chengzu and Captain Lu originally engaged Shu Niannian and Lu Jianjun and wrote a marriage certificate with the private seals of the two elders. Now that the engagement is cancelled, Shu Chengzu also wrote a letter of cancellation of engagement in two copies, stamped with his private seal and sent it to the Lu family. The Lu family also stamped their private seal and sent one of the cancellation letters back to Shu Chengzu. The engagement is no longer valid.
However, Shu Chengzu was extremely angry this time. After learning that Shu Niannian was unwilling to marry Lu Jianjun no matter what, he decided to take drastic measures. No matter whether the Lu family would send the marriage cancellation letter back to him or not, the marriage contract was no longer valid in his eyes.
Writing a letter of withdrawal of engagement is just a formality.
Shu Niannian went back to the room and took out a cloth bag and handed it to Ye Jinhong. Ye Jinhong opened it and saw a big gold bracelet inside the small black cloth bag. Ye Jinhong weighed it in his hand and found it was quite heavy.
Seeing Ye Jinhong's puzzled expression, Shu Niannian hurriedly said, "This is the big gold bracelet that Grandma Lu gave me when I went to Haicheng last time. Now that I am not marrying Lu Jianjun, I naturally cannot accept this gold bracelet. The letter of withdrawal of engagement can be sent to Haicheng, but this gold bracelet is too valuable to be sent there. Uncle, you are here, please help me return this gold bracelet to Grandma Lu."
Ye Jinhong looked at Shu Niannian and seemed to be relieved. He confirmed with Shu Niannian one last time, "Are you really returning it to the Lu family?"
Shu Niannian nodded without any hesitation.
Ye Jinhong stopped asking questions, just took the gold bracelet and put it in his pocket. He really didn't say a word of advice the whole time.
Shu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Jinhong did not mention Lu Jianjun's incident at the village entrance. Seeing a physics book next to Shu Niannian, he asked Shu Niannian how her review was going. Shu Niannian nodded and said it was okay.
Ye Jinhong said gently, "If you don't understand something, you can ask me. I'm good at science."
Shu Niannian looked at Ye Jinhong with a puzzled look and had bad intentions, so she took the difficult questions in the exercise book to embarrass Ye Jinhong. Who knew that Ye Jinhong actually knew how to solve the problem and even gave two ideas. Moreover, his ideas and methods for solving the problem were exactly the same as hers.
Shu Niannian found it unbelievable and found another question, but it was the same situation.
Shu Niannian flipped through the exercises loudly. She just couldn't believe it. After reading the whole exercise book, how could she not find a question that could stump Ye Jinhong?
Ye Jinhong watched Ye Jinhong flipping through the books from the side, and realized belatedly that this girl didn't really not know how to do it, she was clearly trying to make things difficult for him.
Seeing that she couldn't embarrass him, she became angry again.
Ye Jinhong couldn't help but laugh and thought, forget it, I'll just pretend I don't know the answer to the next question.
