If he had known earlier, he would have gone to the Song family to propose marriage much earlier.
However, it's not too late now. At least, that girl has finally become one of our own.
However, his relationship with the Luo family would only be ordinary from now on, and he remembered this.
But the situation is special right now, so let's just remember this for now.
As for Luo Juan, after hearing Zhang Qinghua's words, she couldn't believe it at all, and always felt that this was a story made up by Zhang Qinghua.
However, whenever she thought of Zhang Qinghua's hateful eyes, she had to realize that this... might be true, that such a thing really did happen back then.
That's why Zhang Qinghua got engaged to Song Lili without any remorse; otherwise, even if Zhang Qinghua agreed, Zhang Shengtian wouldn't have.
Since Zhang Shengtian agreed, it means that Zhang Shengtian also knew about it.
So... is she the only one who doesn't know? Is she the only one who, like a fool, went to question Zhang Qinghua?
Yes, if it were true, what right would she have to ask? How could she possibly have the audacity to ask?
She was like a clown.
Upon hearing the truth, Luo Juan felt as if her heart was being torn apart, the pain reaching deep into her bones.
She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. She shook her head in disbelief, trying to deny it all, wanting to say, "This isn't real."
But when faced with Zhang Qinghua's gaze, she couldn't utter a single word. Watching Zhang Qinghua turn and leave without any mercy, she stumbled away as well.
No, she had to find out, she absolutely had to find out what really happened. Did Da Da really do such a thing?
Luo Juan staggered home and went straight to Luo Wei's house, where Luo Wei was indeed home.
He saw Luo Juan come in with a smile on his face, "Juanzi, where have you been?" Then he noticed that Luo Juan's face was pale, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Juan clung tightly to Luo Weijia's arm as if grasping at a lifeline, her eyes fixed on him.
"Dad, didn't you break off the engagement back then? Did you say that the marriage between our two families was null and void? Did you say that?" Luo Juan shouted.
Luo Weijia's previously concerned expression faded, and his face even showed some indifference. "You know? Who told you? Zhang Qinghua or Zhang Shengtian?"
"So, it's true? That means you really said back then that they were a burden? You really broke off the engagement?" Luo Juan asked, heartbroken.
"Yes, back when we were starving, our family was all hungry. Who would want another in-law to come and freeload?"
"Don't you know what the Zhang family was like back then? If I hadn't said that, our family would have been dragged down by them."
"So, what I did back then wasn't wrong." Luo Weijia looked at Luo Juan calmly, his eyes undisturbed.
"Then why didn't you tell me? Why did you watch me run in and out like a clown?"
"Zhang Qinghua must be laughing at me in his heart, laughing at how shameless I am, how I can do such a despicable thing and still not change my expression."
"But I don't know anything! I don't know anything at all! Why didn't you tell me? Why did you make me feel so ashamed?" Luo Juan broke down in tears.
"Juanzi..." Luo Weijia looked at Luo Juan, who was crying her eyes out, and felt sad, but even more worried.
"I..." He didn't know what to say. Should he say that he was hoping for the best? Or was he thinking that Zhang Qinghua might not remember?
He himself did not expect that the Zhang family would survive back then, with only one person starving to death, and that the family was even showing signs of getting better and better.
Could he say he regrets it and wants his daughter to win him back? Is he thinking that if Zhang Qinghua likes his daughter, he might forgive and forget?
However, he couldn't say any of this, because it would only make his daughter more heartbroken.
Who could have imagined that the boy, who was only a teenager back then, would risk his life to go to the most dangerous place so that his family could survive?
He went to any dangerous place as long as he could find food and keep his family alive.
This is also why Luo Weijia regrets it, but he won't voice these thoughts.
He looked at his daughter, who was crying uncontrollably, and tried to pull her up, but Luo Juan shoved him away violently.
"I...I..." Luo Juan wanted to say "I hate you," but she couldn't say it because she knew that Luo Weijia hadn't done anything wrong.
Under those circumstances, Luo Weijia's choice was not wrong, and if she were to make the choice now, she would do the same.
Because that would allow my family to survive.
Therefore, neither did Dadi do anything wrong, nor did Zhang Qinghua do anything wrong. He did not break his promise, so he did not make any mistakes.
If no one is at fault, then why did things turn out this way? Was she wrong? She was even less wrong.
Who was really in the wrong?
The hatred in her heart, the hatred she felt after learning of Zhang Qinghua and Song Lili's engagement, just wouldn't rise again.
What right does she have to hate? She has no right.
So, is this the only way she can quit? But she's so unwilling to accept it!
However, Luo Juan knew in her heart that she no longer had the right to ask Zhang Qinghua, to ask him with a clear conscience, based on the promise she had made back then.
She could only watch helplessly as things gradually deviated from her expectations, and as Zhang Qinghua drifted further and further away from her.
"Big Brother, I...I'm not feeling well. I'm going to take a nap. Don't wake me up for meals, I'm not hungry."
Luo Juan said this weakly to Luo Weijia, and then staggered out.
His face was expressionless, and there was no light in his eyes, which made Luo Yuejin, who had just entered the room, look worried.
"Sister, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did Dad scold you?" He grabbed Luo Juan's arm with concern.
"No, I'm just feeling a little unwell. I'll be fine after a nap." Luo Juan slowly but firmly pushed away Luo Yuejin's hand and went into her room.
"Big brother, what happened to my sister?" Luo Yuejin asked Luo Weijia, who looked unwell, with a bewildered expression.
"It's nothing, your sister just got tired from running around today, she'll be fine after a rest. Don't worry." But in her heart, a cloud of worry hung over her.
Luo Weijia asked himself, had he done something wrong? Should he have told his daughter the truth sooner? Would she have been less heartbroken then?
He couldn't help but shake his head. No, his daughter had always liked Zhang Qinghua, which was one of the reasons he had never told her, for fear that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
But to my surprise, my daughter eventually found out and learned everything that happened back then.
Oh well, what's meant to happen will happen. It's better to know now. I'll be sad for a while, but I'll get over it.
Otherwise, it will be even more painful and unbearable when Zhang Qinghua gets married.
So, this is not bad either.
