Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 765 What good ideas do you have?

At this moment, the two stood under the poplar tree. The autumn wind was rustling, and the leaves on the big poplar tree had not yet all fallen. When the wind blew, it still made a rustling sound.

But nothing could drown out Lu Qiaoge's voice.

Xia Yinghe wasn't incredulous, but she was still quite surprised when she looked at Lu Qiaoge. She had always known Lu Qiaoge's way of speaking, but this was the first time she had actually met him face to face.

While still in a daze, Lu Qiaoge asked again, "So, how do you plan to help Luo Xinghua?"

Xia Yinghe: "..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "...Since you were able to lend her a thousand yuan, you must have a better way."

Lu Qiaoge smiled: "Xia Yinghe, we are a group. You are a member of the group, I am a member of the group, and Luo Xinghua is also a member of this group. No matter who encounters difficulties, as members of this group, we should extend a helping hand."

Luo Xinghua was born into a family with extremely strong patriarchal values. She was exceptionally intelligent; although she didn't have a photographic memory, she was close.

But just because she was a girl, she was deprived of the right to study. Fortunately, she met a young intellectual who had been sent to the countryside. This man later became a teacher at the village primary school. With his help, Luo Xinghua completed primary and junior high school courses in five years.

Sadly, this private school teacher sacrificed her life while saving a child during a flash flood; she was already fourteen years old at the time.

You might not know this, but in many rural areas, girls as young as thirteen or fourteen are already getting married and having children.

Unable to attend school, Luo Xinghua did not give up learning. She completed her high school studies through self-study while working.

She told her family not to rush her into marriage, as she had already finished her high school coursework and could teach at the commune school or even be hired to work in a factory once she got her high school diploma. She even vowed to give her family every penny she earned.

Her family was interested, but unfortunately, her brother had his eye on a girl from another family, who, in addition to demanding a dowry of 500 yuan, also wanted a marriage exchange.

Xia Yinghe never expected Lu Qiaoge to say these words to her.

That reserved demeanor from before is gone.

She stared blankly at Lu Qiaoge, but she was actually listening intently.

This was something she had never known before.

Because few people tell her about these trivial things that happen in ordinary people's lives.

Is there really such an inside story?

Did Luo Xinghua tell Lu Qiaoge this?

So, what did Lu Qiaoge mean by saying this to herself?
Does she not only talk to herself, but also to others?
What is Lu Qiaoge trying to do?
Lu Qiaoge glanced at her expression and frowned slightly. Girls like Xia Yinghe often think about things from a different perspective than ordinary people.

Lu Qiaoge asked calmly, "Xia Yinghe, do you know what a marriage exchange is?"

Xia Yinghe instinctively shook her head, but then said, "Literally, it means an exchange of marriages, right? For example, the other party has an older brother and a younger brother... Is that what it means?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "That's right, that's the idea. The girl has a younger brother, who is the only son in the family. She has always wanted to find a smart and beautiful man, so she was neither good enough nor bad enough. Under the pressure of her elders and parents threatening suicide, Luo Xinghua married Wang Zhimin."

At this point, Lu Qiaoge paused for a moment: "This kind of marriage is not what Luo Xinghua wants, but if she wants to get rid of this kind of marriage, she will definitely have to pay a huge price."

Xia Yinghe murmured, "So the price is to pay a thousand yuan?" "Yes... Give Wang Zhimin a thousand yuan, he gets five hundred yuan, which is enough for him to marry another girl. Then he will still have five hundred yuan left. No matter how you calculate it, Wang Zhimin is not at a loss, but rather gains a great advantage. That's why he agreed to the divorce so readily and gave Luo Xinghua a way out."

Seeing that Xia Yinghe was about to speak again, Lu Qiaoge waved her hand and stopped her with a slightly cold voice: "Don't try to talk to me anymore. According to your logic, if someone commits espionage, does that mean they can't be punished?"

Xia Yinghe's eyes widened suddenly: "Lu Qiaoge, when did I say such a thing? Don't try to pin this on me."

"Because according to your logic, taking action could trigger a series of chain reactions. For example, his children might be implicated, or his parents might suffer and become ill after learning the news..."

Xia Yinghe's expression changed.

You can't say it like that, it's easy to cause problems.

At this moment, Xia Yinghe's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat. She didn't know that Lu Qiaoge was such a difficult person to deal with.

Although she knew that saying this might not necessarily cause any problems, she still immediately emphasized, "This...this is completely different, okay?"

"What's the difference? Look, isn't this the same logic you used to stop me and question me?"
I gave Luo Xinghua 1,000 yuan to help her escape this unhappy marriage, but this led to a chain reaction.

The first problem is that this money will leave Luo Xinghua with a huge debt, causing her to lose her health due to her frugal lifestyle.

The second chain reaction is that Wang Zhimin, having received this money, sets a bad precedent for many others. That is, if one party really wants a divorce, then take as much money as possible…

Xia Yinghe opened her lips, wanting to say no, that's not how it is, but she was speechless.

Because it's not a big deal.

After Lu Qiaoge said that, it seemed that she did indeed mean the same thing. In an instant, Xia Yinghe's face turned red.

But Xia Yinghe was still Xia Yinghe. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm herself down. She clenched her hands tightly together, quickly sorted out her thoughts, and then looked at Lu Qiaoge, who was about to leave.

"I admit... I don't have a good solution, do you?"

"I do!"

Lu Qiaoge said without even thinking.

Xia Yinghe had no idea how many times she had been shocked by Lu Qiaoge's antics today.

She thought she was a very smart person, and her grandfather often praised her for that. Many times, she could predict what a person would say or do next just from their words.

But why isn't Lu Qiaoge one?

Why does it always surprise her like this?
Talking to someone like that always disrupts her rhythm and routine.

Xia Yinghe had no choice but to ask, "Do you have any good ideas?"

“I was just about to go to the leader to help Luo Xinghua apply for a scholarship.”

Then Lu Qiaoge said meaningfully and with a hint of disappointment, "But you stopped me. I thought you had some good ideas..."
