Chapter 476 A Kite with Broken Strings Is Free (Repaying Debts in the Third Update)

The last time Lu Jingyao came to Li Ye's house was in the spring of 1981, almost five years ago.

He walked into the door of the Li family and found that the Li family had hardly changed in the past five years.

Although the yard is very large, the house is still a half-new bungalow, unlike my own home, which stays the same every year and gets newer every year.

But facing this new and old Li family, Lu Jingyao couldn't feel any sense of superiority at all, and her heart was full of depression.

When Lu Jingyao was engaged to Li Ye in 1980, she once visited this compound as her grandson's daughter-in-law.

At that time, the Li family was the proper "upper class" for the Lu family. The Li family's income in one year was more than the Lu family's income in three years.

Although the Li family's grandfather, grandmother, and future father-in-law and mother-in-law were very kind to Lu Jingyao, Lu Jingyao just felt uncomfortable and suffocated.

So after she was admitted to college, she bravely resisted her fate, escaped this depression and this discomfort.

But who would have thought that five years later, Lu Jingyao would be forced into this big courtyard by Li Ye.

"Squeak~"

As soon as Lu Jingyao entered the Li family's courtyard, the door to the east side room opened. Li Ye, who was neatly dressed, came out with Gao Xiaoyan and his family. It was obvious that they were going out.

Lu Jingyao looked at his watch and determined that the one-hour time limit was up.

【Sure enough, you didn’t have to wait even a minute! 】

Li Ye looked at Lu Jingyao, whose head was covered with dust, and was a little surprised.

He nodded lightly: "You are really on time!"

Lu Jingyao walked up to Li Ye and nodded slightly with a smile: "You are also on time, not missing a minute."

"Ha~"

Li Ye smiled and said, "As a human being, you must be trustworthy."

"."

Lu Jingyao felt very uncomfortable. She felt that Li Ye was not necessarily mocking her, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

He broke off the engagement because he was not trustworthy, and his brother wanted to abandon Gao Xiaoyan because he was not trustworthy. What happened?

Did you teach your younger brother bad things?

When the people of the Gao family saw Lu Jingyao's appearance, they couldn't help being surprised at first, and then asked anxiously: "Why is she here alone? Didn't the men from the Lu family come?"

Lu Jingyao turned around and said, "I'm really sorry, uncle. Today is my grandma's eightieth birthday. My father didn't dare to disturb a group of relatives. After all, we are all one family from now on. If all the relatives know about it, the future will not be easy. That’s why I came to discuss it with you.”

"You come to discuss it?" Gao Xiaoyan's father said unhappily: "Why do you, a junior, come to discuss such a big matter? Why does your family always bully others?"

"If you are not sincere, the worst is possible. Our Gao family will not tolerate such cowardice."

"."

Just as Lu Jingyao was about to continue explaining, Li Ye next to him said, "It's the best solution for her to come and discuss with you. She alone has the final say than the two of the Lu family combined. It would really be a dead end." It’s your daughter who’s suffering.”

Gao Xiaoyan's father was stunned for a moment, wondering which side Li Ye was helping.

But when he thought about the excruciating hour just now, why no one came from the Lu family, and the tormenting despair, he suddenly understood what Li Ye meant.

Just accept it as you see fit! Your daughter can't afford it.

"Then let's discuss it!"

Gao Xiaoyan's father took his wife and daughter and returned to the east wing. At this moment, he didn't dare to leave the Li family. He felt that once he left the Li family, Lu Jingyao's words might not count.

Lu Jingyao nodded to Li Ye and was about to go in to discuss with the Gao family and his daughter, but Wu Juying suddenly came out of the main room.

"Daughter of the Lu family, come here."

When Lu Jingyao heard Wu Juying calling her, her heart tightened and she walked over obediently.

When she was her granddaughter-in-law, Lu Jingyao was most afraid of Wu Juying, because even though Wu Juying was always smiling, she never allowed you to refuse what she said.

Lu Jingyao walked to the steps of the main room and asked calmly: "Grandma, do you have any orders?"

"You don't dare to take orders. You are a college student. How can I, my old lady, give you orders? I just have two things to tell you."

Wu Juying glanced at Lu Jingyao and said coldly: "Don't think that what happened today was caused by our Li family bullying you. We don't want to care about it at all. Even if the Gao family's mother and daughter were kneeling in front of our house, we don't want to care either."

"But I looked at the child of the Gao family and found that something was wrong with her. You have to be more careful. The Lu family cannot afford it if someone loses their life!"

"."

"I know grandma, I will handle it."

Lu Jingyao bowed slightly to Wu Juying on the steps, then turned around and went to the east wing to discuss with the Gao family.

Wu Juying, who was on the steps, suddenly shouted angrily at Li Ye in the yard: "What are you staring at there? Didn't you see that the coal at home is not enough to burn? Why don't you hurry up and break the coal? You care about this and that all day long. , don’t you look down on your own work?”

"Ah? Oh oh oh, I'm going to make coal right now. Grandma, don't worry, I'll do it right away."

Li Ye, who was suddenly scolded, was stunned for a moment, then quickly took off his coat, picked up the shovel and started to break the coal.

In the 1980s and 1990s, bungalows in the north relied on stoves for heating, and the supply was not lump coal, but mixed coal or simply coal powder.

If this kind of mixed coal is to be burned in a stove, it must be mixed with clay and made into mud blocks, and then dried for use.

Although the Li family now has money, they can definitely burn coal, but Li Zhongfa and Li Kaijian's units supply coal blends, so they can't make it too special.

As soon as Li Ye picked up the shovel, two little girls rushed out of the west wing. One poured soil and the other coal, and then poured water to help Li Ye work. While working, they glared at Lu Jingyao.

Li Juan and Li Ying were ordered not to come out of the house, so when they saw Lu Jingyao, their enemy, they could only curse in the house. Now that they had the opportunity to activate the death stare, how could they miss the opportunity?

Lu Jingyao was helpless.

She didn't take the death stares of the two little girls seriously at all, but what grandma Wu Juying said just now made her very ashamed.

Wu Juying made it very clear that this time it was your Lu family's trouble that caused us trouble. Li Ye was good at taking care of this nosy matter. You must know it in your mind. I, Wu Juying, am not Li Ye. If you really dare to resent me, We and your family can't afford it.

Lu Jingyao walked to the east wing.

However, when walking past Li Ye, his eyes were attracted by the sweater on Li Ye.

That sweater is absolutely hideous.

The stitching is uneven, the left and right sides are uneven, the sleeves are one long and the other short, and the neck and collar are not round.

But you want to say that Li Ye has no clothes to wear, right? That's not right.

Because the pair of sneakers on Li Ye's feet were known to Lu Jingyao. They were the latest brand-name products and were very, very expensive.

Even though Lu Jingyao now earns a lot of money, if he wants to buy a pair of similar shoes, he doesn't just buy them, he has to think carefully.

But Li Ye was wearing a pair of shoes worth dozens of tons of coal, and he was busy beating the black coal without caring about getting dirty or broken.

【He is very rich, but he doesn’t care about money.】

Lu Jingyao thought of her family's affairs and couldn't help but sigh again.

Five years ago, the Li family was far ahead of the Lu family. Now, the Li family is still far ahead of the Lu family.

After Lu Jingyao entered the room, he said straightforwardly: "My father and I have decided that we recognize Gao Xiaoyan as the daughter-in-law and the child in her belly, but my brother and Xiaoyan are not under the age required by the family planning regulations, so Let’s hold the wedding first, but we can’t get the certificate.”

“If you don’t get the certificate, you won’t have a household registration? What will you do if you go to school in the future?

Gao Xiaoyan's father said tangledly: "Now that the situation is like this, I am very worried about Xiaoyan's future life. Can you guarantee that your brother will treat our Xiaoyan and her children well?"

Lu Jingyao: "."

What are you thinking about? At this moment, do you still expect Lu Zixue to treat Gao Xiaoyan well?

But Lu Jingyao said without hesitation: "My family will handle the child's household registration. In the future, if the child wants to go to school in Qingshui, or wants to go to school in Britain, I can also arrange it."

"Go to Britain? Can you let Xiaoyan's children go abroad?"

Gao Xiaoyan's father and mother were stunned. They had never thought about this outcome.

Lu Jingyao nodded and said, "If Xiaoyan is worried, you can go with her. I remember that Xiaoyan's academic performance in high school was pretty good, right?

The universities in Britain are easier to pass than the universities here. When the time comes, Xiaoyan can also continue her studies. If you don’t believe it, I have some foreign exchange here. You can accept it first.”

"We don't want money, we don't care about money, as long as Xiaoyan can be well."

Gao Xiaoyan's parents really couldn't find fault for a while.

And Gao Xiaoyan, who was like a walking corpse, had regained his luster in his eyes.

It feels like a happy situation.

But if Li Ye was at the scene, he might have to admire Lu Jingyao's tactic of "advance, attack, retreat and defend".

The wedding will be held first, without obtaining a certificate, and the child's household registration fine will be settled. It is best for Lu Zixue to live with Gao Xiaoyan when he is willing to do so. If not, Gao Xiaoyan and her son will be moved overseas so that Lu Zixue's life in China will not be affected.

Hehe, perfect.

In just half an hour, Lu Jingyao reached an agreement with the Gao family, and they even made an appointment to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

After the Gao family came out of the east wing room, they immediately went to the main room to thank Li Zhongfa and Wu Juying. Gao Xiaoyan's mother even kowtowed to Wu Juying again, with snot and tears, saying that without the Li family, their children would really have survived. Can't go down anymore.

"Live a good life and advise your children not to think too much. The days are still long!"

Wu Juying also breathed a sigh of relief and personally sent the Gao family out.

At this time, Li Ye had already dug a large piece of coal, occupying half of the yard to dry.

Gao Xiaoyan's mother thanked Li Ye again, then looked at his sweater and said, "You are a good boy. Auntie will knit two sweaters for you another day. Look at this..."

"Hey, you don't know this, right?"

Grandma Wu Juying said proudly: "My grandson's classmate knitted this for him with his own hands. My grandson said that the uglier the sweater is, the stronger the love inside it. He has a whole wardrobe of beautiful clothes! But this is it. Sweaters are the most comfortable to wear.”

"."

Lu Jingyao looked at Li Ye's sweater and suddenly felt sad.

After she got engaged to Li Ye, she also wanted to knit a sweater for Li Ye, but in the end she was too busy studying and never finished it.

Now he is still wearing the sweater Wen Leyu knitted for him.

The crappy sweater and the thousand-dollar sneakers actually matched together in a strange harmony.

So, did you ever have "love" in your past?

Will I still have love in the future?

Lu Jingyao walked out of the Li family's door and pushed his motorcycle for dozens of meters, then suddenly looked back.

Today she came to Li's house with the mentality of "suffering all humiliation".

But no one in the Li family said a bad word to her.

But Lu Jingyao's heart felt like he was being pushed up a mountain, and he couldn't feel relaxed at all.

I was admitted to college and went to study abroad. It seemed that I had successfully escaped from the place that had once shackled me.

But looking back a few years later, I feel like a kite flying to the top of the clouds, always being pulled by an invisible thread.

When the thread is pulled, it hurts.
