Chapter 118: Things Money Can’t Do
The next day, a jeep arrived at the entrance of Liujia Village.
A girl got out of the car. Someone with sharp eyes recognized her. This car and this girl had been here yesterday.
That’s right, it was Chen Fengfei who came.
She approached several people to ask about Lu Jingheng, but was rejected every time.
Everyone in Liujia Village knew that Lu Zhiqing's affair involved Ye Lianlian. Secretary Ye was still the secretary of Liujia Village. No matter how bad his daughter was, she was still his daughter.
Why are you chatting about this with an outsider? Are you feeling too comfortable in Liujia Village?
Besides, Ye Lianlian had done anything shameless to get Lu Zhiqing, so what was there to say? She was even arrested and imprisoned for him. Although this wasn't Lu Zhiqing's fault, it was ultimately because of him, Ye Lianlian, that she was so crazy. What else could she say?
If Secretary Ye hears this and gives them a hard time, they will be caught in a trap.
Of course, this was also due to Chen Fengfei's own incorrect way of asking the question. She asked: "What's going on between Lu Jingheng and that village girl? Does anyone know?"
That village girl? She didn't say which village girl, and no one asked. Calling someone a "village girl" in front of the villagers was an insult to the people of Liujia Village.
No one paid any attention to her.
Seeing these people being so ungrateful, Miss Chen Fengfei got angry and took out ten yuan from her pocket, waved it in her hand, and asked arrogantly: "Whoever tells me the real situation of Lu Jingheng's life will get the money in my hand."
This inspired many people to try it out, but after thinking about it carefully, some people still backed off. However, Liu Shanmao's mother did not do so and volunteered to step forward.
"Girl! If you want to know something about Lu Zhiqing, just ask. I promise to tell you everything."
Someone on the other side couldn't help but curse: "Liu Shanmao's mother has completely gone to war with Secretary Ye's family. She has lost all her dignity for money."
"She's always been like this, isn't she? Let's go! Why are we looking at this worthless thing? Who could drive here to ask about Lu Zhiqing? I don't think Yang Fan really wants to marry Lu Zhiqing, it's just that Lu Zhiqing keeps pestering her."
"Is this woman here to seduce Lu Zhiqing?"
"If she dares, we must help Yang Fan keep the man. What a good child! She saved the lives of two children in our village. We can't just watch her being bullied by a woman from outside."
"That's for sure. Even though Yang Fan is usually cold and quiet, we still rely on her at critical moments. It's okay for people in our village to yell at each other, but if we are bullied by a girl from outside, how can we still maintain our dignity?"
"No, I have to go and talk to Liu Shanmao's mother about it. I can't sell off our ancestors' reputation for ten dollars."
The woman was impatient and hurried over to pull Liu Shanmao's mother aside and whispered a few words to her. Liu Shanmao's mother looked incredulous.
I feel that the money in the girl’s hand is not attractive anymore.
If this woman was really after Lu Zhiqing, then what was the difference between her and Ye Lianlian? She was also a shameless vixen, trying to drive a wedge between a couple.
Liu Shanmao's mother came up to Chen Fengfei with an unhappy look on her face and asked bluntly, "Girl! Why are you asking about Lu Zhiqing? Are you attracted to him too?"
Seeing Chen Fengfei's expression stiffen, Liu Shanmao's mother felt that she had guessed correctly. Her face immediately darkened, and her tone was no longer as warm as before: "My dear girl, Lu Zhiqing is a married man. He married Bai Yangfan from our village eight hundred years ago. You want to interfere, but it's too late.
I advise you to go back! Lu Zhiqing is good-looking and a good person, but it's a pity that he is someone else's husband. It's useless for you to keep thinking about him. He married the most beautiful girl in our village. The two of them are doing very well and are inseparable no matter what they do.
After hearing this, Chen Fengfei was almost furious. She had already experienced Lu Jingheng's kindness to the village girl yesterday, and today she just wanted to understand why Lu Jingheng married the village girl and what was so special about her that made her so special.
Who would have thought that the people of Liujia Village were so united and refused to say anything.
After finally getting someone to tell her about her money, she had someone else ruin their story. She refused to believe that even if she offered another ten dollars, no one would tell her.
"Auntie! I'll give you another ten or twenty dollars, what do you think?" Chen Fengfei felt that "where there is a big reward, there will always be brave men," and there is no news that money can't buy.
Seeing the girl's demeanor, Liu Shanmao's mother felt even more certain that the man's warning was correct: this girl was out to steal Bai Yangfan's lover. As the old saying goes, "It's better to tear down a temple than to ruin a marriage." Twenty yuan might be tempting, but compared to destroying someone's family relationship, it was nothing.
If she really accepted the money today, every woman in the village would spit at her and drown her in anger. Forget it, she shouldn't earn that money. It would be a crime.
"Girl! Even if you add ten or a hundred yuan, I won't bother to pay any attention to you." Liu Shanmao's mother picked up her hoe and was about to leave, trying to persuade Chen Fengfei as she walked. "Lu Zhiqing's matter is a done deal. No matter how hard you try, it's useless. Just go back! Don't embarrass yourself. A girl comes to our village to spend money for a man. Do you think you can be proud of it?"
As soon as she left, the others followed suit. Chen Fengfei clutched the twenty yuan in his hand, feeling as if he had seen a ghost. Was that village girl so prestigious in the village? Even money couldn't buy any news about her and Lu Jingheng?
Just as he was feeling frustrated, Bai Yangfan walked over leisurely. "Want to know about Lu Jingheng? You can just ask me, but twenty yuan is too cheap. Is that all the money your brother Jingheng is worth? Do you think he's insulted, or do you think he's insulted?"
Chen Fengfei's eyes widened as she looked completely frightened. She couldn't understand what the village girl meant.
If I want to find out about Lu Jingheng's situation, I can only ask her. Is that what you mean?
If she had known this would happen, why would she have come? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"You, you, you, why do you say that?" Chen Fengfei was really confused. She couldn't understand why a village girl was protected by everyone in the village. What contribution had she made to the village?
In fact, Bai Yangfan's personal contribution was not that great. The main reason was that her grandmother had done a lot for the villagers. In addition, she was a member of the Bai family, raised her younger brother alone, and helped save the children in the village.
After a while, everyone forgot about the original owner's past and only remembered Bai Yangfan's good deeds. People in the countryside tend to protect their shortcomings and are united. If someone betrays the villagers for money, they will be punished for three generations.
It’s not surprising that Chen Fengfei couldn’t find any news about Lu Jingheng when he came to Liujia Village. After all, he was Bai Yangfan’s son-in-law.
