Chapter 177 He regrets it!
Chapter 177 He regrets it!
Sure enough, when Lu Qingrong heard what Old Lady Qiao said, he was so angry that he wanted to faint again.
Especially when I saw the smug and arrogant look of the dead old woman, it was extremely annoying.
He absolutely believed that this old shrew had such a rogue and spiteful temper.
If I go to the county government office, I will really say something nonsense to the county magistrate.
He and Yu Wanzhi never had an affair after marriage, but they had an affair before marriage.
It was indeed seen by Old Lady Qiao’s daughter-in-law, as well as other girls in Yu Wanzhi’s village.
They warned then, and it was true.
If the county magistrate were to investigate, those people would definitely come forward to testify.
Although it was only verbal evidence, and it was before their marriage, it cannot prove that they had an affair and gave birth to a bastard.
So many years have passed, we can't really do anything to him.
But his reputation will be affected even worse.
What if the county magistrate gets angry and finds an excuse to cancel his qualification for the imperial examination?
Although it shouldn't be like this, the relationship between the county magistrate and that evil creature is now unusual.
After all, he was just a scholar, and the county magistrate didn't take him seriously.
If he were a juren, he wouldn't be so passive.
Therefore, he could only swallow his anger.
He asked coldly, "Tell me, what exactly are you going to do?"
Unable to break free, nor to get rid of them, he could only temporarily go along with the Qiao family.
Old Mrs. Qiao said, "Of course we are kind-hearted. We are sending you home. What else can we do?"
They heard that Lu Qingrong's house had a lot of good things, so of course they had to go and search for them.
By the way, I'll give that vixen Yu a good beating.
Otherwise, they were afraid that after they returned, that damn girl would be dissatisfied and unhappy, and then go crazy at them...
Lu Qingrong had no choice but to say, "Okay, then you guys take me back."
After arriving home, he would try to find a way to drive the person away.
Then Lu Qingrong paid the medical fee and, with his arms clamped by the Qiao Erniu brothers, he left the clinic and went home.
If you meet an acquaintance on the road and greet Lu Qingrong, you can't help but ask him curiously what happened?
These people don’t know what happened in front of the county school.
Before Lu Qingrong could reply, Old Lady Lu would take the initiative to say that they were Lu Xiucai's relatives.
Seeing that Mr. Lu had fainted, they sent him to the clinic for treatment.
I was afraid that he would faint again on the way home, so I was kind enough to send him home.
Therefore, I received praise from those who asked the questions.
It is really good and lucky for Lu Qingrong to have such in-laws.
Of course, many of them are just polite words.
But Lu Qingrong didn't want such blessing at all.
But he was afraid that Old Lady Qiao would get crazy and tell everyone else about those things, so he could only choose to remain silent.
Wait until we get back to the Lu family’s door.
Lu Qingrong said to Old Lady Qiao and the others, "I'm home now. Thank you for sending me back."
"I'm sick and can't entertain you, so please go back."
Then he took out two taels of silver from his purse and stuffed it into Qiao Daniu's hand.
"I'll invite you to my house when I have time some other day."
He really didn't want to bring the people from the Qiao family back, otherwise he didn't know what Old Mrs. Qiao and others would do.
So I had no choice but to spend some money to get rid of these people.
After all, they, as a family, are no match for these scoundrels.
Old Mrs. Qiao looked at the silver in her eldest son's hand.
I thought with disdain, how shameless of you to send away a beggar?
This won't do. I thought to myself, you're forcing us to do this.
I also breathed a sigh of relief. I finally found a good excuse to make a fuss.
Otherwise, this shameless person would have to welcome them in politely, and she would not be able to cause trouble.
But this Mr. Lu is indeed not a good person.
They all saved his life, but he gave them such a small amount of money and even chased them away.
Old Mrs. Qiao was also angry.
So he suddenly shouted, "Lu Qingrong, is this how you treat your benefactor and in-laws?"
"No one is as fast as you in dismantling anything that comes to mind."
She had heard her grandson read a word, but she had forgotten how to say it.
Qiao Erniu added, "He's crossing the river and then he's destroying the bridge."
Mrs. Qiao immediately said, "Yes, you are a hypocrite who crosses the river and destroys the bridge."
"We saved you. If it weren't for us, you would have died long ago."
"Now you look down on us because we are your poor relatives. We sent you to your door with good intentions, but you didn't even let us in to have a drink of water and you're trying to drive us away."
"You are such a wicked person..."
The insults that follow can be as dirty as you want.
Lu Qingrong didn't expect that even after he gave the money, the old woman would suddenly go crazy.
Before he could stop it, neighbors and passers-by had heard the news and came to watch.
The old ladies from the grain shops who are always on the front line of eating melons arrive the fastest.
Everyone asked curiously: "What happened?"
Lu Qingrong was about to speak, but was interrupted by Old Lady Qiao.
Old Mrs. Qiao took the opportunity to grab the nearest old lady and began to cry, "Old sisters, please help me judge the matter."
"This is my granddaughter's father-in-law. He was a bad man before and couldn't stand his own son, so he insisted on marrying my silly granddaughter..."
She talked incessantly, basically repeating everything that happened in front of the county school.
Even the fact that Lu Qingrong had an affair and gave birth to a bastard, and that the young wife of the Zhou family came out to testify, was not leaked.
After hearing this, the neighbors looked at Lu Qingrong in shock.
Obviously, he really didn't expect that Mr. Lu looked so gentle and refined, like a gentleman.
But behind the scenes he is so shameless.
No wonder he is so good to the bastard, but so harsh to his own son.
It turns out that it wasn't a bastard, but a child born out of wedlock!
This explanation does make sense.
Otherwise, they couldn't understand why he couldn't stand his own son.
Of course, they believed it so quickly because Old Lady Lu had come to make trouble before.
The reputation of Lu Qingrong and his wife among their neighbors is no longer as good as it used to be, but Yu Wanzhi is still the target of scolding.
Therefore, everyone started to blame each other.
"Lu Xiucai, this is where you are wrong."
"Your in-laws were kind enough to send you back, but not only did you not repay them, you even refused to give them a sip of water and chased them away. This is really going too far."
"That's right. No wonder you and your wife can do such shameless things."
"I said that you passed the imperial examination with the help of your father-in-law's family and you still live in the house left by your father-in-law, but you abandoned his own grandson to the countryside."
"So you've been having an affair with Yu for a long time. Are you afraid that your own son will find out?"
"You are so ungrateful."
"You two had the nerve to call Wu Lang an ungrateful bastard before, but you two are the ones who are unfilial."
"You are a scholar, how can there be a scoundrel and shameless person like you among scholars?"
"Yu was even talking back to and beating up her mother-in-law before. You two are really birds of a feather."
Some of these old ladies' sons or grandsons are also studying.
So they learned a lot of four-character swear words or idioms just to show that they are not ignorant women.
Now they are all used to scold Lu Qingrong.
The key point is that all the criticisms hit the point.
Lu Qingrong listened to neighbors and passers-by pointing and talking about him, and a few old ladies even stared at him and scolded him.
His head was throbbing even more violently, and even the veins on both sides were bulging.
At this moment, he wished time could go back.
In that case, he would definitely open the door and welcome the Qiao family in instead of chasing them away directly.
Who could have thought that Old Mrs. Qiao would suddenly start scolding and tell everything again in public.
He could imagine that in the future, he and his wife would become the object of scorn and ridicule in this alley, and their reputation would be ruined.
They didn't have an affair and didn't give birth to a bastard, but these people simply wouldn't believe it.
Especially these old ladies who like to gossip about other people, they will definitely spread it so that everyone nearby knows about it.
By then, even if he had ten mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain it.
He tried to explain irritably, "Don't listen to her. They just want to come to my house to extort money, so they threw dirty water on my husband and me."
But these people don't believe it at all and continue to output.
"You are so heartless. They kindly saved you and took you to the clinic, and even sent you home. How can you turn around and slander you like this?"
"That is, if this hadn't happened, would you have been kicked out of the county school?"
"We'll find out once we go to the county school and ask about this. You can't hide it from me."
"How can you be so heartless? Your mother-in-law is already old, and she's still worried about your health."
"you……"
Lu Qingrong's face suddenly turned gloomy as he listened to their accusations.
Sure enough, these people didn't listen to his explanation at all.
I couldn't help but regret again. I should have let the Qiao family in.
He was also confused, so he wanted to chase people away.
After all, this is a family of notorious scoundrels who can do anything.
Originally, she was going to marry into the Qiao family, except that Qiao Sanya was a fool at that time.
He also thought that with a Yue family like the Qiao family, which was a rogue and scoundrel, his son would be dragged down and even often be entangled and unable to get rid of it.
I won't have so much energy to spend on studying, and I can stay in the village for the rest of my life.
Who would have thought that the old Qiao family failed to entangle his son, but instead entangled him.
What's more, his good reputation was completely ruined within a day.
He really regrets it.
Why did I think what my wife said made sense and take the initiative to seek marriage with the Qiao family?
If he hadn't married his son to a dead girl, the people in the Lu family wouldn't have been instigated to become alienated from him, and they would still be under his control.
Without marrying into the Qiao family, these scoundrels wouldn't be able to bother me.
He regrets it!
