Mo Yuan finally figured out the ins and outs of it all, and he finally understood it completely.
It turns out that Lin Xue's parents were able to be exonerated and return to Shanghai thanks to her aunt's family's connections in the Education Bureau.
However, the matter did not end there. The other party clearly had a deeper purpose that had not yet been achieved, and they were not stupid enough to let this opportunity go easily.
In an attempt to blackmail Lin Xue's parents, the other party deliberately delayed restoring their jobs. It seems that they will only relent and reinstate Lin Xue's parents' jobs after Lin Xue returns and agrees to the marriage.
Otherwise, even if Lin Xue's parents returned to bustling Shanghai, they would face great difficulties in this city with its high cost of living, as they would have lost their source of income, received no wages, and not been properly placed in jobs.
It's worth noting that while life was tough on the desolate farm in Northwest China, at least basic food and clothing were not a concern.
But now that they're in Shanghai, everything costs money, and if they're broke, survival will be a huge problem. The other party is taking advantage of this, attempting to force Lin Xue's parents to comply by cutting off their financial lifeline, compelling them to persuade Lin Xue to change her mind.
Mo Yuan never expected that there was such a complicated story behind this matter, and Lin Xue's parents were willing to bear such pressure and difficulties for their daughter, which is truly admirable.
Mo Yuan finally understood the deeper meaning, and the intelligent Lin Xue also grasped this meaning.
In an instant, tears streamed down her face, her sobs as pitiful as a delicate pear blossom in the rain. "Waaah... It's all my fault! It's my fault that your lives are so difficult now. I had no idea it would turn out like this. If I had known, I would have come back right away. But I mistakenly thought..."
Seeing Lin Xue's guilty and remorseful expression, Lin Zhennan and his wife quickly comforted her, "Silly child, please don't say that. We did all this for you. If you had really come back back then, wouldn't all our efforts have been in vain? It would have all been meaningless."
Just then, Lin Lei, who was standing to the side, could not contain his anger and indignantly echoed, "That's right, we can't let those people do whatever they want! Our family used to treat them so well. If it weren't for Mom's help, how could Auntie have married into such a family? In the end, they not only didn't know how to repay kindness, but they also repaid kindness with enmity and even dared to threaten us!"
"Hmph, those people are absolutely despicable, they have no conscience at all! No matter what, we absolutely cannot let them get their way! Even if you have to stay in the countryside, it's far better than coming back to suffer this humiliation! Besides, you don't know, that old man is no good person at all. Compared to him, your brother-in-law is so much better to you, I can tell that!"
Mo Yuan looked at Lin Lei, his eyes filled with gratitude. He thought to himself: This young man is truly remarkable. Not only is he upright and kind, but he also understands social dynamics so well, knowing when to speak up for me and say a few kind words at crucial moments. As he thought about this, Mo Yuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Then, he gently patted Lin Xue's back and comforted her tenderly, "Alright, alright, Xue, don't think about those unhappy things anymore. All the hardships and setbacks are in the past, and the future will definitely get better and better! We've all returned home safely, haven't we? So, you must relax and believe me, I will slowly figure out a way to solve the problem."
Standing to the side, Wang Wanru was somewhat puzzled when she heard Mo Yuan say this, not quite understanding what kind of method he was talking about.
She even felt that the young man in front of her might just be boasting without any sense of his own limitations.
However, to avoid an awkward situation, she smiled and echoed, "Yes, yes, everything will definitely be alright. Speaking of which, I really have to thank you, Mo Yuan. Lin Xue told me before that the two sums of money you sent us were from you. If it weren't for this life-saving money, our family probably wouldn't even have enough to eat, let alone survive until now. Mo Yuan, thank you so much. Tonight, Mom will cook some of my best dishes to treat you. I was a bit rushed at lunchtime, so the meal was a bit simple. I hope you don't mind!"
Mo Yuan nodded, indicating that he completely understood Wang Wanru's difficulties. At the same time, thinking about the sumptuous and delicious dinner, he decided to showcase his culinary skills to express his sincerity and gratitude.
"Okay! Let's cook a big meal tonight and have a proper family reunion dinner!"
