Chapter 363 His plan is quite clever
Thinking about it this way, the scene from that day seemed to be right before my eyes.
Fang Qing said she had her eye on a shop and originally wanted to rent it to open a hair salon.
But the shop owner is in a hurry to sell and is moving to another city. It's for sale only, not for rent.
She didn't have enough money and wanted to borrow some from him.
They said they wanted to borrow some money, but they immediately asked for a thousand. At least a thousand, the more the better.
They talked a lot about how great that shop was, and how it would definitely make money if opened.
But this opportunity won't come again; if the seller is in a hurry to sell, and you can't come up with the money, they'll sell it to someone else.
What was he thinking at the time?
He had some money, but not a thousand; he was short.
The Lin family said they would give Yuyao a dowry of 300 yuan, and with Yuyao's dowry, 1,000 yuan would be enough, with a little more to spare.
But if he gives it to Fang Qing, how can he and Yu Yao get married?
Moreover, getting Yuyao's dowry is also a difficult task.
Yu Yao definitely wouldn't agree to lend the money to Fang Qing.
That's why he hesitated.
Just as he was hesitating, Fang Qing said that if it was inconvenient, then forget it.
She said she wanted to open a hair salon and didn't want to ask me for help anymore.
He said he was getting married soon, and that she kept asking him for help, which would upset Yuyao.
She said that once she has a job that can earn money, she can raise Chenchen on her own and no longer need to rely on anyone.
What was he thinking at the time?
By the way, he thought Fang Qing's words also made sense.
He was willing to help Fang Qing out of guilt, but if he continued to help Fang Qing, Yu Yao would definitely not be happy.
If Fang Qing's predicament could be resolved once and for all, he could then live a good life with Yu Yao.
He told himself at the time that this was the only time.
He would help Fang Qing one last time, and then he would live a good life with Yu Yao.
So after thinking it over, he chose to lie.
Yuyao is very kind, so it's not difficult to coax money out of her.
When he said it was for saving a life, she agreed without hesitation.
But how can paper contain fire?
Yuyao found out anyway, and she found out so quickly.
The moment Yu Yao kicked the door open, he was actually feeling guilty.
But to cover up his guilty conscience, he stubbornly said some illogical things.
Looking back now, he is filled with regret.
In particular, he knew perfectly well that Fang Qing was doing it on purpose.
He knew Fang Qing was doing it on purpose, but he still managed to come up with a perfect excuse for himself.
He knew perfectly well that Yuyao wouldn't accept it, but he still did it anyway.
Why would he do that?
He thought that once he and Yuyao got married, they would have plenty of time and opportunities to explain to her and make it up to her.
But to his utter surprise, Yu Yao wouldn't give him another chance.
Thinking of this, his eyes turned as red as a rabbit's, and he slammed his fist into the dilapidated wall, drawing blood from his hand immediately.
Fang Qing was frightened by him.
Just now, she was thinking that as long as she could kill that old geezer, it would be worth getting a beating.
But when she actually saw Lu Jiangting smashing the wall and drawing blood from his hand, she was still very scared.
That punch would be terrible if it landed on me.
Fang Qing backed down, her voice softening considerably. "It was my fault. I was careless and let Dad smoke secretly. I'll be more careful in the future. But we agreed to live a good life together, so you can't use Yu Yao to provoke me."
Lu Jiangting looked exhausted, and now he believed the saying more and more: one wrong step leads to another.
He's facing setbacks everywhere right now because of that wrong decision.
If he had had some principles back then, he would have refused to lend out the money for their wedding.
Unfortunately, it's no use saying all this now.
Frustrated, Lu Jiangting took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
He only had half a pack of cigarettes left, which he found in his father's pocket, and half a box of matches.
Fang Qing stopped him in shock, "Jiang Ting, cigarettes are no good. Dad ruined his lungs from smoking. You shouldn't smoke anymore."
Lu Jiangting pushed her away and said calmly, "Go back and cook, everyone's hungry."
"But this cigarette of yours..."
"It's not cheap, so it's a waste not to smoke it."
Fang Qing: "..."
Never mind, there's only half a pack left, it won't kill me.
"Then I'll go back first."
Fang Qing went back to cook, while Lu Jiangting remained where he was, smoking.
But he doesn't smoke, and when he tried to smoke, he coughed violently.
Even though it was very uncomfortable, he still insisted on finishing the cigarette.
He thought smoking could relieve his bad mood, but he was wrong.
I feel irritable before I smoke, and I feel irritable after I smoke.
The image of Yu Yao popped into my mind again; she was still young and beautiful.
Perhaps because her life has improved, her clothing style has become more and more fashionable, making her even more beautiful than she did back in her hometown.
Even though she saw that her father was sick, she still cared about him.
So she still cares about him, right?
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the residential area where Lin Yuyao lived.
He stared at the building for a while, his mind starting to fog up, when he saw Lin Yuyao coming back from the other side.
Is he dreaming?
He rubbed his eyes and realized it really was her, walking towards him.
Lu Jiangting was overjoyed, "Yuyao."
Lin Yuyao paused for a moment before slowly walking over.
She knew Lu Jiangting would come, so she deliberately came back a little later, knowing that Lu Jiangting would be waiting here.
Lu Jiangting was overjoyed, "Yuyao, you still care about us, right?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
WTF?
"When you ran into us just now, you even told my dad to take care of himself."
Lin Yuyao was both amused and exasperated. What kind of thought process was this?
It's just polite talk in normal social interactions.
Their family's shamelessness doesn't mean she lacks manners.
“I would say the same thing when I meet other people from my hometown whom I know.”
Lu Jiangting paused for a moment, then forced a smile. "Why is Ye Xiaotong here too? Didn't she get married?"
Ye Xiaotong is Lin Yuyao's classmate and good friend. When Lu Jiangting went to school to find Lin Yuyao, he had met Ye Xiaotong before.
Later, Ye Xiaotong came to the Lin family to visit Lin Yuyao. Lin Yuyao even took her to the neighboring village of Lu Jiangting, so Lu Jiangting's father, Lu Cong, had also met Ye Xiaotong.
It was only a few years ago. Girls change a lot as they grow up, and Ye Xiaotong has changed quite a bit since then.
I wonder how good Lu Cong's memory is, and whether he still remembers her.
Regardless, she has to be careful.
"Yes, I'm married," Lin Yuyao said calmly. "Didn't you already know that?"
"Oh, I've heard you mention before that her family stopped her from going to school so her brother could get married. They took a lot of dowry from the groom's family and married her off against her will."
"So?" Lin Yuyao glanced at him.
Lu Jiangting looked puzzled, not understanding what her look meant.
Their whole family came here, so they don't know what's going on back in their hometown.
"Will her parents and in-laws agree to her coming here to work?"
"How would I know? I'm paying someone to do this, I don't pry into their family affairs. You want to know? Call her family and ask."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
