Chapter 210 The Engagement is Cancelled
"Marriage? What marriage? I'm not married! This marriage is off! I, Lu Yuanqing, will have absolutely no connection with the Gu family in this lifetime!"
"Fine! Fine! You said it yourself, Lu Yuanqing, you've gone too far!"
"I'm going too far? Who's really going too far? You, Gu family, schemed against my brother! He's my brother, how dare you bully him?! Ah!!!"
"How did you bully Lu Yuanbo? Fang Qingqing likes my nephew, not your brother. Do you think you can force her to like that?"
"Wasn't it you, Gu Hewang, that bastard, who was secretly pursuing her? Knowing that my brother was pursuing her, if he were a man, he would have done it openly. Why did he have to sneak around like this?"
"Why did you sneak in?! Lu Yuanqing, don't make false accusations!"
"Not secretly? Didn't they meet Fang Qingqing at the same time? When Gu Hewang went on a date with Fang Qingqing, why didn't he say a word? He clearly knew that Yuan Bo was also pursuing him, so why was he hiding it like that? As soon as Fang Qingqing agreed to date him, your sister-in-law immediately came to me and said some sarcastic things, making the whole village laugh at Yuan Bo. Tell me, what kind of people are you Gu family!"
"So what if I'm from the Gu family? I, Gu Baoxia, am also from the Gu family. After we get married, you'll be considered half a member of the Gu family!"
"Get married my ass! If we don't get married, let me tell you, Gu Baoxia, if your Gu family dares to bully my brother like this, our Lu family will absolutely not be related to your Gu family anymore. Your marriage to me is off the table. Who you marry in the future has nothing to do with me, and who I marry has nothing to do with you either!!!"
"Fine, you, Lu Yuanqing, you're going to cancel our engagement over something so trivial? Fine, I, Gu Baoxia, am not destined to marry you. Cancel it then! I, Gu Baoxia, swear today that no matter who I marry in the future, it will never be you, Lu Yuanqing!"
"Hmph, thank you for agreeing. Even if I, Lu Yuanqing, never marry again for the rest of my life, I will never marry someone like you surnamed Gu!"
Bang! Crash! Crash!
After a period of smashing and looting, Lu Yuanqing stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Crying could be heard coming from the bamboo ware factory office.
The employees of the bamboo ware factory: "..."
Good heavens! Did they have a fight? And the wedding is off?
All the employees stood there, stunned, holding their unfinished tasks, and remained silent for quite a while.
They didn't realize what had happened until Gu Baoxia, who was crying, opened the door and rushed home.
"So...they had a fight???"
"Otherwise what? Didn't you hear what Yuan Qing said? Gu Hewang and Fang Qingqing were teasing Yuan Bo, and Yuan Qing was so angry that he went to Gu Baoxia to make trouble!"
"Well, it sounds like Gu Hewang and his mother did something unethical, but Yuan Qing didn't need to be so impulsive as to cancel the engagement with Baoxia!"
"Hey, Yuan Qing cares about his family the most. You forgot, the time the Lu family and the Gu family fought, it was because Niu Aixiang said something about Yuan Huan that Yuan Qing led them to attack their door!"
"You were too impulsive. You should just settle accounts with Gu Hewang and Zhao Fengqin for what they did. There's no need to take your anger out on Baoxia! I've even bet with others that they're getting married this year!"
"I'm betting on next year..."
"I'm betting on the period during this year's Chinese New Year..."
"Alright, you guys actually... never mind, you all guessed wrong, the wedding is canceled."
"Just saying that out of anger!"
"Perhaps, but Gu Hewang and Zhao Fengqin made a mistake. They really had no sense of propriety. Yuanbo is such a good child, and they made a fool of him!"
"Hmph, now we should congratulate Tian Xiaoju. Her son-in-law is gone, but she's got a granddaughter-in-law!"
"Hahaha!!!"
……
Gu family!
Zhao Fengqin and Gu Hewang were still gloating.
"Mom, you have no idea, Lu Yuanbo went to town today, and when he saw Qingqing and me holding hands, the way he looked was absolutely hilarious!"
Gu Hewang felt happy just thinking about it.
They initially wanted to trick Lu Yuanbo, that big idiot, into going to the black market to mess with him, but who knew he would be so lucky as to dodge it.
Later, the whole family even stormed into their house and beat and smashed things. Gu Hewang remembered this debt for a long time.
If Lu Yuanqing's status in Shihua Village hadn't risen so high that he wouldn't have dared to take such an open form of revenge, he wouldn't have used such a subtle way to tease Lu Yuanbo.
"Hahaha!! Hewang, you did a great job." Zhao Fengqin said with great satisfaction, "They've become arrogant. Back then in Shihua Village, everyone gave our family some face because of your father. Now that those people see Lu Yuanqing helping us make money, they're all trying to curry favor with him. Humph, they're all despicable people!"
"After the bamboo ware factory was built, according to regulations, each family was required to send one person to work at the bamboo ware factory. I originally wanted to go, but they actually told me that my aunt already counted as one, so they wouldn't let me go. That's nonsense. Lu Ming's grandfather works at the bamboo ware factory, so why should he go? It's because he doesn't get along with our Gu family that they refused to let me work at the bamboo ware factory!"
"That Lu Yuanqing is the same. He's been engaged to your aunt for so many years. He used to send gifts during holidays, but ever since he became the village accountant, he's become arrogant and hasn't come to our house since. He's such a snob. It's really gratifying that Lu Yuanbo got his comeuppance this time!"
Zhao Fengqin kept talking, which showed how much resentment she had towards the Lu family and Lu Yuanqing.
Gu Hewang kept agreeing!
The mother and son spoke of the Lu family without any politeness, laughing as they talked.
Then, Gu Baoxia rushed back at that moment.
Upon seeing the two culprits, she casually wiped away the tears she had managed to squeeze out, and shouted at them through gritted teeth, "It was you two? Did Gu Hewang deliberately tease Lu Yuanbo?"
Gu Hewang and Zhao Fengqin were too happy to perceive the danger in Gu Baoxia's words.
Zhao Fengqin even said smugly, "Baoxia! Don't talk nonsense! Fang Qingqing doesn't like Lu Yuanbo because he's incompetent. What does it have to do with your nephew? He just avoided Fang Qingqing when he was on a date with her. Oh, it's your nephew who's so capable, finding you a niece-in-law in town!"
"Fuck your father, shameless! We're all from the same village, and Lu Yuanqing has done so much for our village. Is this how you repay kindness with enmity? Gu Hewang, you're all grown up, and all you've learned is to scheme against people. You're shameless and have disgraced your elder brother!"
Gu Baoxia pointed at them and cursed them without any politeness.
Zhao Fengqin's face immediately fell. "Who are you calling shameless? You haven't even married into the Lu family yet, and you're already helping them insult your own family? Hewang is your nephew, and I'm your sister-in-law! How dare you insult us!"
Gu Hewang's face also darkened, and he said with dissatisfaction, "Auntie, you can't be so biased! How did I tease Lu Yuanbo? He's stupid! I went to town so many times to meet Qingqing, and he didn't even notice!"
"If I hadn't deliberately let him find out this time, he would still be unaware! I'm doing this for his own good; some truths are better known sooner rather than later!"
Gu Baoxia already knew what kind of person he was, but hearing Gu Hewang's words still made her realize how shameless he was.
Very well, these words have ignited her feigned anger, and she's not going to hold back anymore!
"What kind of twisted logic is this? Now look what's happened! Lu Yuanqing has broken off our engagement. It's all your fault. I'll fight you to the death!" With that, Gu Baoxia charged forward with great momentum!
