With a puzzled look, Yi Xiaofan unscrewed the right handlebar grip and found 32 yuan inside.
He's the kind of person who's shameless. He said, "Li Yuzhu, how could you be so despicable? If you wanted to break off the engagement, you should have just told me directly. You shouldn't have used such despicable means to frame me. What's the point of secretly putting money into my pocket?"
Li Yuzhu really wanted to slap him twice after hearing this. She said angrily, "Yi Xiaofan, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. How could I have met such a scoundrel like you in my life? I don't want to waste my breath on you. Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I'm calling the police right now."
Yi Xiaofan, though fearful, dared not let Li Yuzhu call the police. However, he remained defiant, saying, "Let me tell you, Li Yuzhu, I'll say it a hundred times: this car is mine, and the invoice isn't fake. What am I afraid of? It's mine, why would I be afraid of you calling the police? I won't stoop to your level. I'll pretend nothing happened today. I'll leave the car with you; I'll come to your house to pick you up on the sixth day of the third lunar month."
There's no way to say who's right or wrong in this kind of situation. Yi Xiaofan's bicycle invoice is genuine, and the bicycle model matches. Li Yuzhu really can't argue with him.
After Yi Xiaofan left, Li Yuzhu took the bicycle to her cousin's house, explained the situation of the lost bicycle to her cousin, and then handed Yi Xiaofan's invoice to her cousin.
My cousin looked at the invoice and said, "This invoice is genuine, but the money hidden in the case matches up, which means the bicycle is mine. Where did he get the invoice? You really can't explain this to him. I'll keep the bicycle, and you shouldn't pursue this matter. Just break off the engagement. You really can't marry someone like him; he'll ruin your life!"
Li Yuzhu cried, "He's a complete scoundrel. Our wedding is only two months away, and before he left, he said he'd come to our house to fetch us on the sixth day of the third month."
My cousin pondered for a long time before saying, "It's not the gentlemen you should fear, but the scoundrels. You really can't afford to mess with this kind of person. I have a way with you. A distant cousin of mine has a son whose family lives in Dongcun Village, Shili Pu, in the county town. You two can meet, get engaged, and then immediately break off the engagement with Yi Xiaofan. You really can't marry a scoundrel like him."
Li Yuzhu reluctantly nodded in agreement, otherwise she would have to marry that scoundrel, and it would be difficult to break off the engagement with such a person.
The next day, with her cousin's help, Li Yuzhu met Dong Qing. Dong Qing was very handsome, and Li Yuzhu was stunningly beautiful. The two hit it off immediately and arranged their marriage a week later.
The next day, Li Yuzhu delivered the engagement gifts to the matchmaker's house and asked her to give them to Yi Xiaofan's family.
Li Yuzhu thought that this was considered annulment of the engagement. To her surprise, the matchmaker returned the engagement gifts to her that night, along with a letter from Yi Xiaofan.
Yi Xiaofan's letter contained very simple content;
Li Yuzhu, you have no chance of breaking off the engagement with me. I'm determined to marry you. I'll come to your house to fetch you on the sixth day of the third lunar month. If you dare to back out, I'll make sure you suffer for the rest of your life. Don't believe me? Try me. If you dare to back out, I have plenty of ways to deal with you.
After reading the letter, Li Yuzhu burst into tears, cursing through her sobs, "What a scoundrel! I curse your ancestors!"
It's not the gentlemen you should fear, but the scoundrels. Anyone would have a headache if they encountered such a scoundrel. Li Yuzhu had no choice but to have a whirlwind marriage with Dong Qing. They registered their marriage on February 26, before Yi Xiaofan's wedding date.
The day after Li Yuzhu and Dong Qing got married, she had the matchmaker deliver her and Yi Xiaofan's engagement gifts to their home.
This is a classic case of acting first and informing later. I'm married, what can you do to me? Whether or not to call off the engagement is not up to you, Yi Xiaofan.
Yi Xiaofan received the annulment gift in the afternoon. He never dreamed that his fiancée had married someone else yesterday. He had already prepared the wedding room. He was furious when he found out that Li Yuzhu and Dong Qing had gotten married.
Yi Xiaofan was seething with anger and finally came up with a bad idea: to break up Li Yuzhu and Dong Qing's marriage through gambling. When Dong Qing lost all his money, Yi Xiaofan lent him money to continue gambling.
Yi Xiaofan thought to herself: "Li Yuzhu, you're going to act first and ask for my permission later, right? I'll cut off your supply lines from the bottom. I'll make you unable to bear Dong Qing's gambling and divorce him. Even if you don't marry me in the future, I'll still make you suffer a lot in your marriage."
Yi Xiaofan kept his word; his goal was to make Li Yuzhu suffer.
Some people may ask, does Yi Xiaofan have that much money to lend to Dong Qing?
In reality, the gambling table is a cycle of back and forth. Dong Qing loses money and then lends it to Yi Xiaofan. He loses again and borrows again. He loses again and borrows again. This goes on and on, and Dong Qing's gambling debt to Yi Xiaofan keeps increasing.
Yi Xiaofan never expected that even though Dong Qing gambled away the family's fortunes, Li Yuzhu not only didn't divorce him, but also gave birth to his child.
Yi Xiaofan never dreamed that Dong Qing's three older sisters would secretly give Li Yuzhu pocket money. She could live a comfortable life without her husband, and she would never divorce him if there was any way out. Yi Xiaofan was truly a genius for thinking of these things.
After Li Yuzhu gave birth, Dong Qing took care of his wife at home like a grandson. He sent people to his house to ask him to go out and play cards, but he refused for several days. He said, "Don't ask me anymore. I will stop gambling and just want to live a peaceful life with my wife."
And last night, Li Yuzhu scolded the two of them away. How could Yi Xiaofan continue to play with Li Yuzhu if he couldn't get them to come out? Helpless, he finally found her home today.
After listening to his wife's words, Dong Qing asked in confusion, "Do you two know each other?"
Yi Xiaofan said, "Hey, you surnamed Dong, let me tell you."
Was what your wife did in the past even humane? He probably wouldn't be ashamed to tell you.
Before you two got married, Li Yuzhu was my fiancée. Our wedding date last year was set for the sixth day of the third lunar month, and you got married on the twenty-sixth day of the second lunar month.
We hadn't broken off our engagement at the time. I was busy at home like a grandson preparing for the wedding, buying her bridal makeup and shoes, decorating our new house, and doing everything I could for her. Yet she married you ten days earlier than planned. Isn't she bullying me? To be precise, she's treating me like a fool.
"Do you think I should settle scores with her? What Li Yuzhu did was just too damn bullying! Would you be able to swallow this? To be honest, I felt like killing her back then. Has anyone ever bullied someone like that?"
A gentleman has his way of being a gentleman, and a rogue has his way of being a rogue. He only speaks from his own perspective, and it sounds as if he is right.
Of course, he also believed he was right, because that's the kind of person who doesn't care about other people's feelings and only cares about his own selfish desires. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said or done those things, and he's almost torn Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu's family apart in the past year.
