Chapter 382 You Don't Even Spare My Aunt
Seeing Fan Suzhen's tears, Lu Yao knew that if he didn't seize the opportunity to ask her why, she wouldn't tell him once she calmed down.
It's not gossip, it's just that this family seems really strange.
It was also for Yuan Shumei's own good.
So Lu Yao reached out and handed Fan Shuzhen the newly bought handkerchief:
"Auntie, although I don't have much ability, Shumei is my good friend. I will definitely help her without hesitation if she is in trouble, so it's wrong of you to keep it from me."
Fan Suzhen felt so wronged that she had no one to confide in.
She was also shocked by Lu Yao's fierceness.
I feel that this young man's demeanor is that of a true man.
As soon as they stood at the car door, everyone lined up obediently, and not one dared to complain.
How helpless I felt when I couldn't squeeze onto the bus and almost crawled under it!
At this moment, she felt that Lu Yao was someone she could rely on.
Her body involuntarily moved closer to Lu Yao:
"Hey, Xiao Lu, actually, it's best not to air our dirty laundry in public. There are some things I shouldn't have told you."
Lu Yao didn't interrupt, knowing that when a woman said that, she was actually trying to tell you a secret.
Fan Suzhen took Lu Yao's new handkerchief and wiped away her tears:
"When you come to my house, your uncle seems to be the head of a factory, someone with some status. But actually, he has to listen to my father-in-law, Yuan Tianshu, in everything. You know, my father-in-law has some influence in Jiangzhou. It's just... his identity... well, I can't say about that."
Fan Suzhen involuntarily raised her hand.
Look at the left hand wrapped in gauze.
Lu Yao asked, "What happened to your hand?"
"I'm fine. I just got a minor injury."
Lu Yao could tell that a piece of his finger had been missing.
Fan Suzhen continued, "Sigh, Yuan Hai just can't stand up for his family. Back then, my father-in-law wanted to marry Shumei's older sister, Shuya, to the mentally challenged son of a department head. Yuan Hai refused, and as a result... Shuya got into a car accident and became mentally challenged too, so she had to marry into a rural family. If the rural director hadn't been after my father-in-law's power, he probably wouldn't have wanted Shuya..."
Lu Yao became increasingly surprised as he listened:
"Auntie, are you saying that Shuya's car accident was caused by someone?"
Fan Suzhen glanced at Lu Yao through teary eyes.
Hesitant to speak.
Lu Yao simply reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, patting it gently:
"Auntie, you've really had a tough time!"
"Waaaaah..."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yao's considerate words broke Fan Suzhen's defenses.
The car had already started moving.
The noise was quite loud, and Fan Suzhen tried her best to keep quiet, her shoulders trembling in Lu Yao's arms.
"It's alright, Auntie. I know Shuya too, and I know she's a good girl. Shumei is my confidante. I'll definitely help you if you need anything."
Fan Suzhen shook her head:
"My life is miserable, and no one can help me. Just help Shumei if you can."
Lu Yao patted her shoulder lightly: "How can I help you if you don't tell me? Just tell me what happened, and I'll definitely help you come up with a plan. I can even put in a good word for County Chief Hao, and Director Mei of the Public Security Bureau is also a friend of mine. Just tell me what's on your mind."
Although Lu Yao reassured her, Fan Suzhen still dared not tell him the whole story.
She simply said, "Yuan Hai is now listening to my father-in-law and wants to marry Shumei off to Shi Shouyin. I know my father-in-law's intentions. Over the years, he has used any means necessary to cultivate relationships with powerful people and win their hearts. I don't know what he's after. He's almost seventy years old! If Shumei insists on not listening to him, I'm afraid Shumei will also be in danger."
At this point, Fan Suzhen realized she had said a bit too much.
Stop your tears and return Lu Yao's handkerchief to him.
She then took Lu Yao's arm off her and returned it to him.
Calming himself down, he gave a wry smile:
"Look at me, why am I saying so much to a child like you? Don't take it to heart, I'm just feeling a bit down. Just help Shumei find a place to hide, that's all that matters in my family."
Lu Yao knew that she wouldn't say anything more in this situation, no matter how much he asked.
So I stopped asking.
Chatting with her about other things, asking about Shuya and Shumei's childhood, and talking about how I met Shumei made the atmosphere much more relaxed.
Before long, the car arrived at the Shuiling Commune station.
Lu Yao and Fan Suzhen came down together.
The driver also got out of the car, and with a big smile on his face, he brought back ten double-bang firecrackers:
"Company Commander Lu, you know Brother Bao, I can't possibly accept this from you. Please take it back."
"Take it, I won't tell that damn Bao Ge."
"No, no, no, I've heard about your deeds. You're a great hero of Shuiling Commune. It's an honor for you to ride in my car. How could I possibly accept anything from you?"
He respectfully put the ten double claps back into the flower basket for Lu Yao.
Looking at Lu Yao, Fan Suzhen felt even more strongly about the young man's charm.
That's what a real man is like!
What kind of man is Yuan Hai if he can't even protect his own daughter?
It's no good in any aspect.
Last night, I had a few drinks before going to bed. I spent half an hour getting ready, but actually only a minute, before finishing and going to sleep.
Judging from Lu Yao's physique, he's probably good in every way. If Shumei were to marry him... well, they would be a match made in heaven!
Lu Yao noticed a change in Fan Suzhen's gaze towards him and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong, Auntie?"
"Oh, it's nothing. How old are you, Xiao Lu?"
"I'm twenty."
Lu Yao didn't want to downplay his own importance.
I dislike it even more when others treat me like a child.
They deliberately exaggerated the age by two years.
"Yes, that's the same age as my Shumei."
Fan Suzhen only said one sentence before sighing.
He thought to himself, what's the use of my agreement? Yuan Hai is still waiting to give his daughter a gift to Shi Shouyin.
I will definitely not agree to Lu Yao and Shu Mei dating.
So he held back what he was going to say next.
Lu Yao pointed ahead:
"Auntie, let's go to the commune to borrow a bicycle. I'll take you to the village to see Shumei."
"Oh, that's fine. Otherwise, I'll have to go to Shuya and borrow Yang Ming's car."
Mentioning the Yang family, Lu Yao looked at the woman and suddenly felt a little sorry for her.
I wonder what she would think if she knew how Yuan Shuya was treated in the Yang family.
Her mother was poor in her previous life and couldn't protect her daughter. She fantasized that marrying Liu the ferryman would bring her happiness, but instead she sent her daughter into a pit of fire.
Even with Fan Suzhen's privileged background, she couldn't control her daughter's fate.
He took her to the Shuiling Commune compound.
Upon entering, it was deserted and quiet.
Today is the 29th, and the commune is on holiday.
There should be militia members on duty behind them.
I walked on and bumped into a beautiful girl with pigtails.
It was none other than Liu Shuangyan, who had wet her pants because of her own tickling.
He pushed his bicycle and walked out.
Upon seeing Lu Yao, his eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.
He turned his head away, snorted, and walked over.
Lu Yao ignored her and led Fan Suzhen inside.
"Oh dear, didn't you see me?"
Liu Shuangyan turned around to look at Lu Yao.
Then he looked at Fan Suzhen.
Lu Yao had already brought Fan Suzhen to the office door.
"Auntie, wait for me a moment, I'm going inside to get the car keys."
Fan Suzhen stood waiting at the office door.
Liu Shuangyan looked angry:
"Oh, so you've changed your tastes, haven't you? You're not even letting go of aunties anymore?"
They chased after him as soon as they got out of the car.
