Chapter 27 Strange
The sudden news of their marriage was so strange that both of them were a little confused.
There was no news of it before.
"Why didn't you tell me about your wedding? When is it?" Lian Hua couldn't help but be curious. "Whose girl is it? You're hiding this information so well."
"Aunt, we're not planning on having a wedding." Although getting married was a good thing, Lu Jianjun's smile was forced. In the end, he still offered a high betrothal gift. "Neither of us has much money, so we can't afford a wedding. We'll just pay respects to our ancestors when the time comes."
He clearly didn't want to talk any more. He raised the bag in his hand and said, "I still have a few houses to deliver to, so I'll leave first."
The two people standing at the door looked at the wedding cake in the bag, which was the common steamed cake in their area.
The wedding cakes in Xiaoshi Village are usually made from rice grown at home, which is pressed into powder and steamed, with red wedding characters printed on the surface.
"It seems like the amount allocated to each family is not much, but it takes two days to make it. How can you find a wife and get married so quickly?"
After confirming the message with the system, Lu Xing replied: "Don't you know her too? The girl I went on a blind date with the other day."
"What? That girl? Isn't it rumored that Lu Jianjun bullied that girl? If he doesn't even have a banquet, then he's being wronged." Lianhua thought of what You Dali said at the time. "And yet he says he wants to repay her? He's really just deceiving people."
This strange development suddenly gave her an idea. "Could it be that they're teaming up to defraud Lu Jianjun of his money? And then run away with him and the money?"
"No way? Her family is all in the village, and Lu Jianjun even does work for her family. If he really cheated them, her family wouldn't be able to escape."
Lu Xing looked at the information collected by the system, but still didn't understand why Li Ping had to marry Lu Jianjun, and why she had to plan such a thing for it and asked for such a high bride price.
"Won't you know when you see him?"
"Too."
That's the end of this topic.
————
New Year’s Eve arrived so suddenly.
During the New Year holidays, Lu Xing was the only one at the village entrance.
Everyone stays at home, waiting for relatives to visit, or going out to visit relatives.
Only Lu Xing has almost all his close relatives dead, so he has no need to visit relatives and friends.
Every year she would sit at the entrance of the village and watch people coming and going during the New Year, which was quite interesting.
So she was also the first person to see Lu Jianjun’s wife, not counting the day they had the quarrel.
The two of them didn't look like a newlywed couple at all. They walked from a distance and there was no happy expression on their faces.
"Jianjun, is this your wife?"
Because they had just had a fight this morning, Lu Jianjun didn't really want to reply, "Yeah."
"So, did you all stay in the village afterwards?"
Not sure what had offended them with this question, Lu Jianjun turned around and glared at Li Ping, "That should be it."
This question did not stay in Lu Xing's mind for too long, and soon the problem broke out on its own.
When Lu Xing went to Liu Hehua's house, he happened to run into Lu Jianjun and his wife looking for the village chief.
As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that the two people's faces looked worse than before.
"Village Chief, I must have an explanation for this matter. Tell me what to do."
The village chief could only sigh, "What do you want to do about this? Get the money back? That was the betrothal money you gave, how can you get it back?"
"Li Ping is not his sister, so it doesn't count as them cheating me out of my money?" Lu Jianjun was now filled with anger and only wanted to get the money back. That was his savings that he had accumulated for a long time.
"Then why didn't you explain this clearly before you got married, and didn't you also include the previous compensation? Both your families agreed to it, so why are you going back on your word now?"
"That's the betrothal gift you voluntarily gave. It's hard to get it back."
"The blind date was a setup! If it wasn't a setup, I wouldn't have paid so much money." He looked at Li Ping standing next to him, "Tell me yourself, did they collude to plot against me during the blind date?"
"Yes, Wang Tiejun and I agreed to use this method to make him pay more for the bride price." Compared with Lu Jianjun, although Li Ping was angry, she was more sad about being cheated.
The village chief was troubled when he heard him keep asking for money. "You didn't even tell me what happened here, so how can I find a solution for you? Now it seems that this is the betrothal money you voluntarily paid, and they have no problem with it."
How to say it?
Lu Jianjun looked into the eyes of the village chief, thinking about his affair with Sun Lijuan, and also thinking about the wonderful thing of sleeping with two of them. It seemed inappropriate to say that he was deceived.
"It was a lie. We were both deceived by that couple!"
"Let me do it." Compared to Lu Jianjun's sense of shame, Li Ping didn't care. What was more important now was whether she could get the money back. Anyway, she didn't plan to stay in this village.
"I am Wang Tiejun's mistress.
It's like this where we are. People who come out to work find partners and live together.
The relationship was supposed to end after I returned home, but I discovered I was pregnant with Wang Tiejun's baby.
I wanted to keep the child, so I insisted that he give me a legitimate status.
He said he wanted to, but he had to deal with his wife first.
He also told me that his wife hooked up with someone else while he was not at home and now wants to dump that guy.
This was a good opportunity for us to be together, and I believed him.
Together with him, I set a trap for Lu Jianjun, making them think that he was going to marry me. In fact, when they were getting married, I knocked his wife unconscious and sent her over.
By then we’ll have money and be able to be together.”
The more she spoke, the darker Lu Jianjun's face became.
"That bitch told me the same thing. She said she introduced you to me to make it easier for us to have an affair. She also lent me fifty dollars, saying that most of the money would be returned to me in the end." Thinking about it now, Lu Jianjun felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
"In the end, we found out that everything was a trap set up by the couple. They set it up to get rid of us."
"Ah..." The village chief didn't know what to say after hearing this.
Liu Hehua, who had been listening all the way nearby, even had time to refill Lu Xing's tea. "Now the couple has taken the money and gone to another place?"
"Yes, we went to their house yesterday and saw that they had run away. Both of them had run away."
Wang Tiejun's father almost beat them up because of what they said.
"Village chief, we want the money back now."
"I guess it's not possible. This is the money agreed upon by your two families, and you agreed to pay it out. Many people heard it on the day of the discussion, but no one heard what you said." The village chief tried to explain the reason.
"I'm not lying!"
"I know. How about I take you to talk to the village chief next door?"
Of course, there was no result in the end.
No one believed what they said.
Wang Tiejun and his wife usually pretend to be very good.
Compared with people from other villages, they are definitely more willing to believe what people from their own village say.
The first one to give up was Li Ping, who originally came for money and status.
Now she couldn't get either, and she left very quickly.
After Li Ping left, Lu Jianjun tried to hire some thugs to harass her at home, but was beaten back.
Also, because of the rumor that he liked to sleep with other people's wives, no one wanted to hire him.
Since he couldn't get any work and his family had no money, he had no choice but to go out and try his luck.
Both of them left, and the so-called marriage was no longer a thing.
Their wedding ended quickly, and those who didn't receive the wedding cake didn't know that Lu Jianjun was married.
The system almost burned out the CPU because of this.
It couldn't understand the behavior of this group of people.
But it’s not that the system suddenly developed human emotions, but that the database it built based on previous observations conflicts with the data collected this time.
[Host, in the data I collected previously on Lu Daliu's family and Old Lady Lu's family, it seems that having sex with someone other than her husband is a very serious mistake.]
Why is it that in this incident, Wang Tiejun took the initiative to let his wife have sex with someone else, and his wife wasn't angry that he had sex with someone else outside? You humans are so weird.
Lu Xing couldn't come up with any explanation. She was surprised when she saw it for the first time, but after seeing it more often, it was no longer surprising.
People like Lu Jianjun who suffered losses and didn't know what to do could only blame themselves for their bad luck in the end.
