Lu Xiaoqin was startled and ran curiously to the door of the main house.
The door wasn't closed tightly to begin with, so I gently pushed it open a little and peeked inside. I was so shocked I almost dropped my jaw.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, guess what I saw?"
She really piqued the couple's curiosity, and Wen Muxue couldn't wait to ask, "What did you see?"
"I saw Zhong Yanling actually hug Yuan Chao tightly, saying that she actually liked him at first and wanted to marry him."
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue's eyes lit up instantly, "This is so exciting!"
"That's not all. Yuan Chao, being a man, easily pushed her away, but Zhong Yanling went crazy and suddenly stripped herself naked."
The couple stared wide-eyed.
Wow, they're really going all out.
"Tsk, they're trying to cling to the idea of aiding Korea."
Lu Xiaoqin waved her hand, "Sigh, I can't deny it."
"That's true, with you as my witness."
Lu Xiaoqin grinned mischievously, "It's not just me."
"Could it be that other family members saw it too?" Wen Moxue asked excitedly.
"No, that's not it. My uncle and aunt aren't home, and my great-uncle and great-aunt are busy working in their private plot."
"Then who else could it be? It couldn't be Jia Liqin, could it?"
Lu Xiaoqin covered her mouth, chuckled, and shook her head. "It wasn't her."
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue were genuinely confused about who it was.
"It's Brother Jiefang back."
"Huh? What a coincidence? Wait, shouldn't he be at work? Why is he back early?"
“Not only did he come back early, but he also brought Zhong Yanling’s father with him.”
Lu Xiaoqin was so excited at this point that she wanted to slap her thigh.
"Huh? And her dad too?" Wen Moxue's exclamations grew louder and louder.
Lu Xiaoqin nodded, "Yes, I heard that when Jiefang arrived at the factory, he asked Zhong Yanling for leave. When her father, who was the director, found out, he thought his daughter had been bullied here and insisted on coming to see her. So Jiefang also asked for leave and brought her back."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lu Yuan chuckled unkindly, "Tsk, what a coincidence!"
"So what's the situation now?" Wen Muxue asked.
Lu Xiaoqin said, "Director Zhong felt ashamed and took Zhong Yanling back, but before they left, Brother Jiefang said he wanted to break off the engagement."
No man could accept catching his fiancée undressing and seducing his own brother. Lu Jiefang would never marry a woman like that.
“The engagement should indeed be called off. Zhong Yanling is a restless person, always wanting more than she has.” Lu Yuan had no respect for such a person.
"I don't know what she was thinking. Jiefang is just as good-looking as her brother. The two brothers are equally good-looking, and Jiefang is much more composed. Why would she seduce Yuanchao when she has Jiefang?"
Wen Moxue couldn't understand it at all.
Lu Xiaoqin shook her head, "I'm afraid he's mentally ill."
Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't do something like seducing their future brother-in-law. Whether the seduction succeeds or not, they'll never have a good life afterward, so what's the point?
"I thought Director Zhong was a decent person, so how come his daughter is like this?" Wen Moxue sighed.
Lu Yuan scoffed lightly, "Many people just look good on the surface; who knows what they're really like in reality?"
In the past two years, he has met many people in the county town and the commune, and he gets along well with all of them. However, his relationship with Zhong Zhidong has always been neither close nor distant.
Sometimes, when I give him something, it's only because of Zhong Quanyong's influence.
He still remembered the first time he went to the brickyard on business, he slipped a ten-yuan note to Zhong Zhidong. Later, every time he delivered something, the other party never took the initiative to offer a cash note. It was always Zhong Quanyong who arranged to give cash notes or return gifts.
Perhaps seeing that Zhong Zhidong never showed any reaction, Zhong Quanyong went directly to his nephew's office several times to confiscate his belongings or money, and then gave it to him directly.
To be honest, he had no feelings for Zhong Zhidong. It wasn't that he was a bad person, but apart from the first time he needed bricks and tiles, he always contacted Jiang Haishan, the factory manager of the brick and tile factory, directly after getting bricks and tiles.
I never expected Lu Jiefang to date his daughter, and I never expected his daughter to be like this.
"It's fortunate that this happened before the wedding. If we had discovered his character was flawed after the wedding, it would have been even more distressing."
In this day and age, few people think about divorce. No matter how unhappy they are after marriage, they can only endure and torment each other.
Especially in the countryside, regardless of whether things go well or not, once you get married, it's basically for life.
Wen Moxue nodded in agreement, "That's right. Now that we know the other person isn't suitable, we can just break off the engagement. The loss isn't significant."
"However, I wonder if this will cause a rift between Jiefang and Yuanchao."
Not only was Wen Moxue a little worried about this, but Lu Guoan's family felt the same way, fearing that the two brothers would become estranged from each other.
When Lu Guoan returned home and heard about this, he grabbed the old man's cane and chased after his youngest son without saying a word. While chasing, he also observed his second son's expression. Seeing that his second son only watched and did not stop him, he really hit Lu Yuanchao a few times.
"You little brat, I asked you to stay home and take care of someone, how could you let someone do such a disgraceful thing?"
"Hiss, oh dear, Dad, how was I supposed to know? Who knows why she suddenly went crazy and started harassing me? I'm so innocent!"
"You're a grown man. They're resting inside. What are you doing going in? If you hadn't gone in, would they have had a chance to take advantage of you?"
Lu Yuanchao felt even more wronged. "She said she wasn't feeling well and asked me to brew some medicine. After I brewed the medicine, I had to bring it to her. I treated her with respect as a sister-in-law, but she was lusting after me and wanted to pull me onto the bed. I broke free, but she still took advantage of me. Dad, you have to stand up for me! I already have a girlfriend. If Liqin finds out that I was defiled, I don't know if she will be angry and leave me."
Lu Guoan: "..."
Listen to what nonsense this brat is spouting.
I felt my blood pressure spike, I felt dizzy, and I felt like I was going to die at the hands of this unfilial son.
"You bastard, you dare to spout nonsense. I'll beat you to death today."
Lu Guoan raised his crutch, ready to hit someone again.
Lu Yuanchao ran directly behind Lu Jiefang and grabbed his clothes for protection.
"Second brother, tell Father to stop. You saw what happened today yourself. It has nothing to do with me."
"I swear to God, I did not provoke her at all. Xiaoqin has been at home the whole time and can vouch for me."
"And that woman is no good at all. She's a womanizer, she even went after her future brother-in-law. If you broke off the engagement with her, then you broke it off. She's not worth your sadness. Open your eyes and find someone better."
Lu Jiefang turned his head and glanced at him indifferently, pulled his hand away, and strode towards the courtyard gate.
