Lu Cheng frowned, his heart full of anxiety and helplessness. He knew Xiao Yichen's identity and background very well. If such a thing was not handled properly, it would not only affect his friendship with Xiao Yichen, but also cause a series of unpredictable troubles.
Lin Yuexi sat aside, biting her lip, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's go and find out what Jingyi and her mother are thinking. Perhaps we can find a solution to the problem."
Lu Cheng nodded in agreement, and the two of them immediately got up and headed for the scene of the incident.
When Liu Cuihua saw Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi coming, she was stunned at first, and then she started crying again: "Chengzi, you have to make the decision for your sister! Look at Xiao Yichen, he kissed your sister but refused to take responsibility. How can we hold our heads up in the village in the future?"
Lu Cheng looked at Liu Cuihua and said with as much patience as possible: "Mom, Jingyi is still young and not suitable for marriage. You can't force her like this."
Lu Jingyi lay on the bed, her eyes somewhat evasive, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi.
Lin Yuexi walked over and said softly, "Jingyi, your clothes are so wet, you should go back first!"
"Third sister-in-law, I won't go back. I want him to give me an explanation..."
??? Lin Yuexi was confused. Who taught her this?
"Lu Jingyi, if you continue lying by the pond, you will be seen naked by outsiders! Besides, why don't you go back, change your clothes, and let Xiao Yichen come to the old house to discuss it with your parents, right?" Lin Yuexi persuaded earnestly.
When Lu Jingyi heard that it could be discussed, she immediately agreed.
As soon as Lu Jingyi stood up and walked away, the crowd around him dispersed.
Everyone thought that the Lu family was really funny. Six years ago, they were entangled by the Lin family using this dirty trick, forcing the third Lu to marry Lin Yuexi.
Six years later, the Lu family actually used the same method to entangle Lu Cheng's good brother, the Xiao family. No one knows how Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi will deal with it.
After Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng brought Lu Jingyi back home, the atmosphere was heavy along the way.
Although Liu Cuihua stopped crying, she still kept mumbling and complaining about Xiao Yichen.
After returning home and waiting for Lu Jingyi to change her clothes, Lu Cheng called Lu Jingyi aside and asked softly, "Jingyi, tell me the truth, what happened that day?"
Lu Jingyi lowered her head, twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands. After hesitating for a long time, she whispered, "I accidentally fell into the water, and it was Brother Xiao who rescued me and kissed me..."
"Xiao Yichen kissed you..."
"Yes, brother, many people in the village saw it?"
"Brother Cheng, I saw that she had been drowning for a long time, so I gave her artificial respiration..." After hearing what Lu Jingyi said, Xiao Yichen walked over and explained.
"What artificial respiration? You are clearly being a hooligan to my Jingyi..." Li Xiuying stood up and said, fearing that this would not achieve the effect she wanted.
"Xiao Yichen, you kissed my Jingyi in front of so many people and you want to be irresponsible, right?..." Liu Cuihua also said.
"Mom, please stop exaggerating. Jingyi is still young and can't get married. And Xiao Yichen is my good brother. He is not a frivolous person at all. Besides, he really wanted to save Jingyi. I don't know what you are thinking? If you are blamed for saving someone, who will be willing to save others in the future..." Lu Cheng said loudly in anger.
"Third brother, it's so easy for you to say that. Didn't you save Lin Yuexi and marry her? Why are you so disloyal now?" Liu Cuihua said loudly.
Lu Cheng was speechless and blushed after hearing what Liu Cuihua said. Seeing this, Lin Yuexi gently pulled Lu Cheng's sleeve, signaling him to calm down.
She walked forward and said to Liu Cuihua and Li Xiuying, "Mother, sister-in-law, how can we compare what happened back then with Jingyi's current situation? Chengzi and I were truly in love, and we got married later. But Jingyi is still young, she doesn't understand these things, and we can't ruin her life because of a momentary anger."
Liu Cuihua snorted coldly: "True love? Who knows if you have any shameful plans."
Lin Yuexi was furious after hearing this. The original owner was not willing to marry him back then. If Lu Cheng himself was not willing to marry her, would this have been possible?
Besides, the original owner married unwillingly, but in the end she was tortured to death by the Lu family! How dare this family bring this up?
"Mom, don't compare Jingyi's matter with what happened between me and Yuexi. The Xiao family and my family are incomparable. Besides, I really fell in love with Lin Yuexi back then, and I was not forced by the Lin family..." As soon as Lu Cheng's words came out, Liu Cuihua, Lu Zhendong, Lu Jianguo, and Li Xiuying were all stunned!
Wasn't Lu Cheng forced to marry Lin Yuexi that day? How did it become voluntary? Did that bitch Lin Yuexi say a lot of bad things about us during her half year in Beijing?
"Third brother, let's not talk about your affairs now. Let's just talk about how to solve the problem of your sister. So many people in our village have seen her. Who would want her..." Liu Cuihua was worthy of being Liu Cuihua. She turned to the business in a few words.
After listening to Liu Cuihua's words, Lu Cheng rubbed his temples, feeling exhausted. He looked at Xiao Yichen, then at the concerned family members around him, took a deep breath and said, "Mom, it's not right for Yichen to be responsible for Jingyi's affairs! How about this! You will send Jingyi to continue her studies in Jingyi County tomorrow, and I will pay for all the expenses. After a few years, when Jingyi grows up and becomes sensible, we can see what she thinks."
"No, Third Brother, your money didn't come from the wind, why should you pay? Besides, your money is our Lu family's money, wouldn't it be better for you to keep the money for our retirement? The money should be paid by someone named Xiao..." Liu Cuihua shouted.
Lu Cheng didn't expect his mother to be so shameless, and he didn't know how to answer him for a moment.
Fortunately, Xiao Yichen spoke up at this time, "Auntie, can I pay for all the money for Jingyi's future schooling?"
"Yichen, you...you..." Lu Cheng sighed.
"Brother Cheng, your sister is my sister, and it is my duty to send her to school..." After saying this, Xiao Yichen pushed Lu Cheng back to the three large tiled houses.
Liu Cuihua stopped him and said, "Mr. Xiao, your words are not enough, so write it down as proof..."
"That's enough, Mom. Please give Jingyi and me some face!" Lu Cheng was so angry that he slapped the armrest of the wheelchair.
"Brother Cheng, you don't have to be angry. It's right for Auntie not to trust me..." After saying that, he actually took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Cuihua.
"Auntie, is this sister Jingyi's tuition and living expenses enough for one year? If not, I will send some more when I return to Beijing..."
Liu Cuihua took the 500 yuan and showed a satisfied look on her face, but she still said stubbornly: "This is more or less okay, but you have to keep your word. If you dare to cheat us, I will take you to Beijing to make trouble."
