Chapter 242 Knowing
Upon seeing Xie Qianyu's tears, Lu Yuanbo's heart clenched instantly, and he quickly comforted her, "You...you don't cry! I stood up for you yesterday and gave those who bullied your grandfather a good beating."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qianyu momentarily forgot to cry and looked at Lu Yuanbo, who had a simple and honest face, in astonishment.
It took him a while to find his voice, and he asked in surprise, "You...you got into a fight yesterday? Didn't you say you'd come secretly from now on?"
Xie Qianyu knew all too well that those people were not to be trifled with.
Now, Lu Yuanbo has another disagreement with that group of people because of his grandfather's matter.
Xie Qianyu's brow twitched, and her gaze shifted to Lu Yuanqing.
With just one look, Lu Yuanqing knew what she wanted to ask: "You want to know if they've come to cause me any trouble?"
Xie Qianyu nodded.
Lu Yuanqing glanced at Lu Yuanbo, who was scratching his head with a simple and honest expression, and said with a smile, "He went to someone's house yesterday and injured them. This morning, someone came to visit him."
I went secretly, but they still found out.
That's a huge underestimation.
Xie Qianyu felt guilty upon hearing this.
She glanced worriedly at her grandfather, who was lying on the bed on his deathbed. Her thin lips pressed into a straight line, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.
Looking at Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo with deep gratitude, she said, "Brother Lu, I really don't know how to thank you for helping me and Grandpa so much. I... I'll kowtow to you..."
Xie Qianyu has never been this weak.
But she now has only one weakness.
That's Grandpa Xie.
He was about to kneel down and kowtow to the two brothers.
Lu Yuanbo couldn't bear to see his beloved woman like this, so before Lu Yuanqing could speak, he helped her up.
With a serious expression, he said, "What are you doing? We're only helping you out of wishful thinking. You don't need to kneel down and kowtow to thank us."
Girls' knees are delicate; kneeling like that can really hurt them.
Lu Yuanqing: ...
We haven't even started discussing this yet, and that brat already knows to side with outsiders. He's such a scoundrel.
Xie Qianyu's gaze fell on her wrist, which was being tightly gripped by Lu Yuanbo, and her pretty face flushed.
He awkwardly pulled his hand away.
She keenly sensed something.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuanbo felt as if he had touched a hot potato, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, clasping his hands tightly behind his back.
His sallow face turned a dark reddish-brown, and he felt incredibly dry.
Her hands rubbed together nervously between her buttocks.
Seeing his younger brother's disappointing state, Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but chuckle.
He clenched his fist, placed it to his lips, and coughed lightly: "Ahem!"
This broke the awkward atmosphere.
Lu Yuanqing glanced at the unconscious Old Master Xie lying on the bed, then looked at Xie Qianyu: "If there is any emergency, you can come to us anytime."
Xie Qianyu was extremely grateful: "Brother Lu, thank you so much. We were originally... but you were even thinking of me and Grandpa. We've really gone to so much trouble for you."
Seeing how much they helped me, it would be a lie to say I didn't feel guilty, but I was mostly moved.
I'm still thinking about providing help to him and his grandfather.
To Xie Qianyu, Lu Yuanqing and the others were good people.
If it weren't for the Lu family, she and her grandfather probably wouldn't have lasted more than half a month in the countryside...
No matter what, the Lu family were benefactors to her and her grandfather.
Lu Yuanbo quickly replied, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all, it's just a small favor..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man glared at him. Lu Yuanbo wisely shut his mouth.
People still pass by here from time to time.
They had only come to watch the excitement, and seeing that no one was dead, they left one by one.
As he was leaving, Lu Yuanqing discreetly slipped something he had prepared into Xie Qianyu's hand.
Xie Qianyu was first startled, then ashamed, grateful, and a variety of emotions flashed through her mind. Finally, she obediently took the things.
Lu Yuanqing was a man of principle; even if it was a feigned interaction, his body did not touch Xie Qianyu.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he left like the other villagers.
On the road.
The villagers were all talking about the Xie family grandfather and grandson.
"Girls from the city are just different. They're so fair-skinned, and that girl has a big bottom, good for bearing children. I..."
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if she's been sent down to our village, she's still a rich young lady from the city. How could your good-for-nothing son possibly marry her?"
"You can't say that. People who are released usually have a hard time going back. They'll definitely settle down in our village someday! Even if it's not the old lady who's thinking about it, some other scoundrel will want to take advantage of them."
……
The villagers were all talking about it.
Most people thought that Xie Qianyu, a young woman, would definitely have a hard time taking care of an old and frail man.
Putting everything else aside, the thugs around here alone are enough to give Xie Qianyu a hard time.
Isn't this incident a good lesson?
Some older bachelors who hadn't married also started joking about Xie Qianyu.
Lu Yuanbo was furious when he heard this, and thought about going up and punching them to shut their mouths.
She had only taken one step when Lu Yuanqing pulled her back.
Lu Yuanqing scolded him with exasperation, "Don't you think things have gotten bigger enough?"
Lu Yuanbo reluctantly retreated, muttering, "Those guys have foul mouths; they must have eaten in the latrine this morning."
Unable to vent their anger, they could only grumble a few words.
at the same time.
After everyone left, Xie Qianyu carefully opened her palm.
Several banknotes were prominently displayed inside.
Looking at the warm bills in her palm, Xie Qianyu felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She knew very well how precious this thing was to them now.
After all, she now understands this very well.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanqing went to such lengths to help her.
I rubbed my sore nose and took a deep breath.
But Xie Qianyu was a smart woman, and looking at the money in her hand, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She wasn't stupid; she could easily see Lu Yuanbo's feelings for her.
In addition, Lu Yuanbo is straightforward and doesn't know how to hide his feelings, so all his expressions are written on his face.
After these two encounters, she realized that Lu Yuanbo had feelings for her.
Judging from Lu Yuanqing's behavior, it was clear that he also knew Lu Yuanbo's feelings for him.
However, her current situation is rather complicated.
With mixed feelings, she sat on the edge of the bed, tightly holding Grandpa Xie's slender hand, her voice anxious: "Grandpa, what should I do?"
The Lu family.
As soon as the two brothers returned, several little kids gathered around them, and the older brother asked them expectantly.
"Fourth Uncle, does the girl like you too?"
"Won't we soon have a fourth aunt? When you and your fourth aunt get married, we can eat wedding candy!"
When the topic of candy came up, the children couldn't help but stick out their tongues and lick around their mouths.
Children have absolutely no resistance to candy.
Lu Yuanbo's expression turned serious: "What nonsense are you spouting? What fourth aunt?"
The little kids were completely taken aback. "No?!"
