Chapter 256 Things Are Not Going Well!!
Lu Mingdong didn't need to guess anymore; he could already imagine how quickly the villagers would understand the situation.
Then, it will be another round of rumors and gossip.
"Fourth Uncle didn't even bother to keep a little secret!" Lu Mingdong said somewhat indignantly.
Lu Yuanqing, however, didn't seem to care: "It's just that I didn't manage to win anyone over, there's nothing to be upset about!"
Lu Mingdong looked at him speechlessly, "Third Uncle, things can't be done twice. Fourth Uncle has already been the subject of gossip because of Gu Hewang and his wife. Now, because of another woman, who knows how nasty the gossip will be!"
Does saying you don't need to care about other people's rumors really mean you won't be affected at all?
Lu Mingdong also felt indignant on behalf of Lu Yuanbo.
To be frank, even if it's based on personal connections, what's wrong with his fourth uncle?
He's at the perfect age, good-looking, and physically healthy. He's currently the only tractor driver in the village, and he's not even married yet! He already owns a house and gets a monthly salary.
More importantly, he is sincere and has no bad habits.
Fang Qingqing and Xie Qianyu are both blind.
Lu Yuanqing stared in disbelief as Lu Mingdong lost his temper, feeling indignant on behalf of Lu Yuanbo.
This was the first time he had ever seen Lu Mingdong like this.
He had never shown such emotional outbursts when Cheng Xia rejected him.
"Well, you can't really blame the girl for this! If she likes someone, she likes them; if she doesn't, she doesn't. You can't assume she has bad taste and can't see her fourth uncle's good points just because she rejected him!" Lu Yuanqing shrank back, trying to reason with him.
Besides, even if people can see Lu Yuanbo's good points, it's perfectly normal that they just don't like him!
It's not money; if you can make it, everyone will like it!
Lu Mingdong sat down angrily, arms crossed. He calmed down a bit because of Lu Yuanqing's interruption. "I just feel sorry for Fourth Uncle. What bad things did he do in his past life? In this life, he meets someone he likes, but the person doesn't like him back."
Lu Yuanqing was taken aback, then chuckled, "No, isn't it because your fourth uncle's own crush is someone special?"
Lu Mingdong glanced at him sideways. He recognized Xie Qianyu, but Fang Qingqing? How could Lu Yuanqing bring himself to say that?
Lu Yuanqing changed his sitting posture, as if he was about to reason with him.
"Think about it, why did Fang Qingqing try to hook up with your fourth uncle and Gu Hewang in the first place? Wasn't it because she knew they were from Shihua Village? Now, everyone in this area knows that anyone from Shihua Village is a hot commodity."
"Faced with two people who have come to her of their own accord, Fang Qingqing should naturally first assess the value of both parties!"
“Your fourth uncle is quite good. He drives a tractor in the village and earns more than his fair share of work points every day. He also works part-time for the bamboo ware factory’s transport team, and he’s paid by the number of trips. In this respect, he’s a bit better than Gu Hewang.”
"However, don't forget that this advantage is incomparable to Gu Hewang's father being a cadre. Therefore, Fang Qingqing's choice of Gu Hewang over your fourth uncle was an inevitable result."
After saying that, Lu Yuanqing patted Lu Mingdong on the shoulder and sighed, "So, it's not that your fourth uncle is bad, but that Gu Hewang has a good father!"
Lu Mingdong snorted coldly.
He had already figured it out when Lu Yuanqing finished speaking the first half.
"What about Xie Qianyu?"
Lu Yuanqing curled his lips and said, "I only have two opinions about Xie Qianyu's words."
"First, she really doesn't like your fourth uncle. Yes, our family has been kind to them, but how can liking someone be changed by gratitude? Even if Xie Qianyu agrees to marry your fourth uncle, it's because of gratitude, not because she simply likes Lu Yuanbo. Xie Qianyu is a smart person, and she can naturally figure out what your fourth uncle wants, so she won't deceive him."
"What about the second one?" Lu Mingdong pressed.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "The second possibility is that she still has some feelings for your fourth uncle, but don't forget her current situation, or more accurately, Xie Long's situation. Xie Qianyu came to our village to take care of Xie Long. How can she forget her original intentions just because of a man's feelings for her?"
Lu Mingdong stroked his chin, appearing deep in thought.
Lu Yuanqing continued, "I actually hope Xie Qianyu is the second case, otherwise, our fourth son will really be in trouble!"
Lu Mingdong suddenly spoke up: "I understand. Whether Xie Qianyu likes or dislikes Fourth Uncle, it's impossible for the two of them to be together now."
In the first scenario, Xie Qianyu doesn't like Lu Yuanbo.
If Xie Qianyu agrees to Lu Yuanbo's request out of gratitude, it would not be repaying a debt of gratitude, but rather insulting Lu Yuanbo.
Having spent so much time together, Xie Qianyu is a smart person; how could she not understand Lu Yuanbo's character?
He has his own pride and self-respect in this matter.
If he knew that Xie Qianyu didn't like him, but married him out of gratitude, he would never be able to let it go for the rest of his life.
Therefore, even if Xie Qianyu didn't want to hurt Lu Yuanbo, she would still reject him.
"The second possibility is that if Xie Qianyu likes Fourth Uncle, she definitely won't agree. Putting aside the responsibility of Xie Long, which she won't give up, Xie Qianyu wouldn't want to burden Fourth Uncle with gossip alone." Lu Mingdong understood this very clearly.
But, "She didn't know that her fourth uncle wouldn't care about these things, and neither would our family!"
Lu Yuanqing burst out laughing, "Weren't you just feeling indignant that your fourth uncle was going to be laughed at by others?"
A fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed Lu Mingdong's face, disappearing in an instant. Most people wouldn't notice it, but Lu Yuanqing, who had been watching him intently, saw it clearly.
Immediately, Lu Yuanqing laughed even louder.
Lu Mingdong pursed his lips, displeased. "Wait until those old ladies tug at your sleeves and ask you if your fourth uncle has been rejected by a girl again, then let's see if you can still smile so happily."
Others may not know, but who wouldn't know about the gossipy old ladies in the village?
Lu Yuanqing laughed so hard his throat was sore, and he drank half a glass of water before he felt a little better.
Upon hearing this, he said, "Then when I see them, I'll run faster!"
He runs fast.
Lu Mingdong rolled his eyes. "So what about Fourth Uncle now?"
Are we just going to leave it at that?
"Otherwise, Third Uncle, why don't you go find a matchmaker? Find Fourth Uncle a wife, so he won't be unhappy all the time because of people who reject him!"
Yes! Those who rejected Lu Yuanbo are no ordinary people.
Most people wouldn't refuse Lu Yuanbo's conditions.
Lu Yuanqing shook his head with amusement, "No way! I promised your fourth uncle that he doesn't want to go on blind dates and wants to find a partner on his own, and I support that."
"Alright! Let's not talk about these things anymore. Take it slow. Now come with me to Uncle Zhao's to get the certificate. We'll go to the city tomorrow!"
It's perfect timing, taking advantage of the off-season for farming!
