After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Ye Lian curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Don't talk nonsense. She's just expressing her gratitude to martyr Wang Jianjun for saving her life. It's such a big deal to renovate. Can't a woman like her make up her mind and ask Lu Jiangting for help? She can do it very well."

"Pah! It's one thing to help her with the renovations, but what's with bringing a cake to Fang Qing's house today to celebrate her son's birthday?"

"Oh, it's just a birthday. In a few years, I'll have a big celebration for my 50th birthday, and you can all come and celebrate with me."

“It’s different. Fang Qing’s son calls Lu Jiangting ‘Dad’.”

Ok?

Ye Lian couldn't hold back her sarcastic tone any longer, "What? That little brat even calls that dog Lu Jiangting 'Dad'?"

"Yes, Old Lady Liu, who lives next door to Fang Qing, was listening intently. She said something about Chenchen not having a father and wanting her father to be with her on her birthday. She said a bunch of things, but Old Lady Liu didn't hear clearly. Anyway, that's the gist of it."

So on this day, Lu Jiangting was the father of Fang Qing's son. Hey, I wonder if he did anything else besides being a father on this day.

Ye Lian was trembling with anger.

Even after all this, that bastard still wants to coax his daughter into marrying him.

Where does he get the nerve?

Ye Lian threw the washed shoes into the basin and angrily carried the basin back home.

While angrily looking at the shoes thrown off the balcony, she shouted into the house, "Dawei, if that bastard Lu Jiangting comes again, throw him out and don't let him step into our yard again."

"What's wrong?" Lin Dawei came out of the house.

Ye Lian told him what she had overheard while washing her shoes in the pond, and Lin Dawei was so angry he gritted his teeth.

"Hey, that bastard, I was wondering why he had to lend money to that widow. Turns out he's having an affair with her." He picked up a carrying pole from the doorway. "I'm going to break his legs."

Lin Yuyao came out of the house and said, "Father, don't go. This is a good thing. Let him go."

Lin Dawei was taken aback. "Huh? This is good news?"

"Yes, let him go live with Fang Qing. That way, he won't bother me anymore. He's repaying a debt of gratitude and is willing to support his wife and son. It's none of our business."

Ok?

“My daughter is right, that makes sense.” Lin Dawei put down the carrying pole.

“But what about our three hundred yuan? Dawei, go and ask him to get it back,” Ye Lian said again.

Lin Dawei picked up the carrying pole again.

But Lin Yuyao knew that he had no money right now, and if he couldn't get the money, he would still be entangled with them.

"Dad, don't go. He doesn't have any money right now."

"You have to give me back the money, even if you don't have any."

"How can you come back if you don't have the money?" She stopped Lin Dawei and said, "I have their IOUs, I'm not afraid. If he dares not to pay it back, I'll go to their military unit and make a scene. I'll make Lu Jiangting lose his job and make the higher-ups cancel Fang Qing's pension. Let's see if they dare not to pay it back."

Barefoot people aren't afraid of those wearing shoes; that's how you seize their weakness.

"Okay, I'll do as my daughter says."

They all decided to let Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing go, hoping they could both live peacefully.

But that's not how they see it.

Lu Jiangting came again the next day.

This time I didn't bring any fruit candies, but instead brought two large cabbages.

Lin Yuyao: "..." Are we already this poor?

"Yuyao, these are vegetables my mother grew, you can try them."

"No need, I have plenty of these cabbages at home, I'll use them to feed the pigs."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"I heard you became a father to Fang Qing's son yesterday? Congratulations! You now have a son and a daughter-in-law all at once."

Lu Jiangting's expression changed. "Yuyao, who told you that?"

Everyone's talking about it.

Lu Jiangting: "..." Where did this gossipy woman come from?

"Don't listen to their nonsense, it's not true. It was Chenchen's birthday yesterday, I just went to see him."

"Oh, whatever, it's none of my business."

"How can it be nothing? I was afraid you'd overthink it, so I came to explain it to you right away."

"Alright, I heard you, you can go now." With that, she threw a basin of water over the water.

To avoid the water, Lu Jiangting jumped a great distance.

Just then, Lin Yuyao closed the courtyard gate.

Lu Jiangting called from outside, "Yuyao, why did you lock me out? Open the door quickly."

His voice didn't make Lin Yuyao open the door; instead, it startled Lin Dawei, who was shoveling chicken droppings in the backyard.

He came out with a shovel, and the shovelful of chicken droppings was shocking. If Lu Jiangting hadn't run fast, he would have been covered in it.

"Pah, you shameless bastard! You're someone's father now and you still have the nerve to come looking for my daughter? Who do you think you are? If you dare come again, I'll feed you a mouthful of chicken shit."

Lu Jiangting fled in disarray.

When he got back, his parents scolded him again.

"Look at you! You knew Yuyao was bothered by your relationship with that widow, so why did you insist on getting involved with her? Now look what's happened! Everyone's saying the widow's son called you 'Dad.' Yesterday, you not only acted as her father, but you also acted as her man. Do you think she won't throw chicken droppings at you?"

“Mother, that’s just gossip from those long-tongued women. It’s not true at all.”

"Hmph." His father, Lu Cong, snorted coldly. "I only know that flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If you didn't do these things that would cause misunderstandings, would people talk about you?"

Lu Jiangting had no way to refute it.

He felt that this was a huge misunderstanding and was extremely flustered.

Lending money to Fang Qing is no big deal, but being mistaken for having an affair with Fang Qing is a different story.

He couldn't sit still at home, and after thinking it over, he went to find Lin Yuyao again.

This time, he hid in the shadows, waiting until her parents were out working before he approached her.

"Yuyao, you've really misunderstood this time. Fang Qing and I have nothing going on, I..."

"Shut up." Before he could say anything more, Lin Yuyao interrupted him. "You and Fang Qing have nothing going on. Do you know how many times you've said that? Whether you and she have anything going on has nothing to do with me. Let's leave it at that. I'm being lenient with you. Don't force me to break off relations with you."

Lu Jiangting got angry and, in a fit of rage, revealed the marriage report.

"Are you really going to be so resolute about our years of relationship? You even went so far as to call Lao Zhou and ask him to send the marriage certificate back."

Lin Yuyao's heart skipped a beat. "What did you say?"

"Heh, you know what I'm saying." Lu Jiangting sneered, "Let me tell you, I won't allow such a misunderstanding between us, so... I asked Lao Zhou to help submit the marriage application."

Lin Yuyao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, pointing at him, "You... how dare you..."

Lu Jiangting grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him. "Yuyao, don't throw tantrums at me because of Fang Qing anymore. Let's live a good life together, okay?"

"No, no, no!" Lin Yuyao struggled to break free, tears streaming down her face. "I already said I don't want to be with you anymore, what right do you have to make decisions for me?"
