Lin Jianxue felt a little depressed, and his brows furrowed slightly.
She looked at Fu Qingqing, her tone still gentle, but a little serious: "Qingqing, look at me."
Fu Qingqing shrank back, but slowly raised her head to meet Lin Jianxue's clear eyes.
"Now's not the time to be vague," Lin Jianxue whispered. "He's been bringing people to your house for days, demanding to marry you. This situation is definitely not simple. What's going on between you and that Jiang Erniu? Why would he suddenly target you and make such a big fuss?"
Lin Jianxue rarely spoke in such a serious tone.
Those beautiful eyes that always wore a gentle smile were now filled with inquiry.
Fu Qingqing felt uneasy when she looked at her. She suppressed her grievances and fears, which rushed out like a flood that had broken through a dam.
With a cry of "Wow", tears rolled down her face again, crying even harder than before.
She wiped her tears and choked up, "Sister Xiaoxue... wu... don't be angry... Actually... Actually, it's all my fault... It's all my fault... Blame me for meddling..."
"Minding your own business?"
Lin Jianxue was stunned for a moment, then softened her voice. She reached out and gently patted her shoulder, as if comforting a frightened animal: "I'm not angry. Don't cry first, calm down. Tell me clearly, how did you meddle in other people's affairs?"
Fu Qingqing sobbed and began to explain intermittently:
"It was... it was last week... in front of the town's supply and marketing cooperative..."
She raised her tearful eyes and looked at Lin Jianxue: "Sister Xiaoxue... do you still remember? When you touched me that day, there was a little girl standing next to me?"
Lin Jianxue tried hard to recall.
That day, she and Fu Zhewei went to the town to buy things and ran into Fu Qingqing at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. She seemed to be followed by a girl who looked thinner and more timid than her.
"Yeah, I remember. What happened to that little girl?"
"Her name is Yi Yao..." Fu Qingqing sniffed, her voice thick with nasal sounds, "She is an orphan, both her parents are gone, and in the village... not many people are willing to play with her. Only... she is the only one who can talk to me. She is... my only friend..."
"The reason we met... was because... about half a month ago, also in town, I... I ran into Jiang Erniu... He, he had cornered Yi Yao in a deserted corner... and wanted... wanted to do something naughty to her..."
Speaking of this, Fu Qingqing's voice trembled even more, as if she had returned to the scene at that time.
"I... I was so anxious and hot-headed that I just... couldn't help myself... and rushed out, deliberately yelling, 'Catch the hooligan! You're playing hooligan!' Jiang Erniu, feeling guilty and startled by me, ran away cursing..."
So that's how it is.
Lin Jianxue understood instantly.
How could Jiang Erniu, a vindictive villain, let it go after being humiliated by the daughter of a relocated family whom he looked down upon?
I'm afraid he was holding a grudge against Fu Qingqing, and seeing that she was quite pretty, and that the Fu family had no power and influence and could bully him, he had evil thoughts and instigated his mother to come to the house and force her to propose marriage.
"Sister Xiaoxue, I'm sorry... wuwuwu..." Fu Qingqing cried breathlessly, "I... I really shouldn't have meddled in other people's business... I knew exactly what our family was like... My brother, my mom... they were having a hard time... I should have just walked away... Our family couldn't afford to offend him, and I still tried to intervene... Now I've caused so much trouble for our family... wuwuwu... It's all my fault... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
