Chapter 240 The Enemy Has Arrived
To put it bluntly, silently giving without expecting anything in return or expressing affection is called being a "simp."
No! Even a "simp" can boldly express his love.
How could Lu Yuanqing's younger brother be a simp?
Lu Yuanqing grew angrier the more he thought about it. *Smack!* He slapped Lu Yuanbo on the head without hesitation.
Lu Yuanbo covered his head, feeling even more aggrieved: "Brother, why don't you have any sportsmanship? You hit me whether I tell you or not. I'm caught in the middle."
Why can't I tell my crush when I meet her?
If you tell anyone, you'll get a beating. Lu Yuanqing glared at Lu Yuanbo, annoyed: "You deserve it!"
When it comes to love, the fourth brother is a complete blockhead.
You need to knock on it a lot to clear your mind.
If you get scammed and end up counting the money for the scammer, then you'll lose more than you gain.
It wasn't that he was prejudiced against Xie Qianyu.
Although I have a good impression of the Xie family, I still have to be careful in everything I do.
To avoid being completely fooled and having no time to regret it later.
Lu Yuanbo rubbed his aching scalp, plopped down on the doorstep in annoyance, and complained, "What? I just have a slight crush on her, I haven't even thought about dating her yet. Besides, brother, aren't you trying to help her out? It's not unreasonable for me to lend a hand."
Perhaps it was because he was experiencing his first stirrings of love, but seeing his older brother's tense face, Lu Yuanbo's mind raced. He quickly jumped up, moved closer to Lu Yuanqing, and whispered, "Brother, is it that you look down on Xie Qianyu and the others because they were demoted?"
After thinking about it carefully, she straightened up. She scratched her cheek in confusion, muttering, "But you're not that kind of person, so why are you reacting so strongly just because I have feelings for someone?"
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes mercilessly, reaching out with a look of exasperation. *Smack!* He smacked Lu Yuanbo on the back of the head again.
This blow was delivered with all his might, causing Lu Yuanbo to howl in pain: "Ouch, brother, are you serious? I'm your own brother, why are you hitting me so hard?"
"It's good that you know it hurts." Lu Yuanqing sat in the chair, poured himself a cup of hot water, and took a sip to moisten his throat.
He then gently placed the cup on the table and turned his gaze to Lu Yuanbo, whose facial expression was exaggerated.
After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "To be honest, you're not good enough for Xie Qianyu. Xie Qianyu has a good family background and a powerful connections! If you hadn't come down with Old Master Xie, you probably would never have had the chance to meet her in your entire life, let alone fall in love with her."
He sighed heavily halfway through his sentence. Then he returned to the main point and continued, "What I mean is, if you like someone, you should say it boldly. Of course, you can't let Xie Qianyu feel burdened because of your feelings. Everything has to be open about, understand? Being open about it is good for both of you. Reputation is very important to a woman."
Xie Qianyu is smart. After interacting with Lao Si once or twice, she can understand what kind of person he is.
Let the fourth brother speak frankly. If he really doesn't like her, he'll naturally distance himself from her, thus avoiding any gossip in the village.
Lu Yuanbo was confused, but he understood the general idea.
Confessing his feelings to Xie Qianyu would be good for both of them. But since they haven't known each other for very long, he's too embarrassed to say it.
The thought of Xie Qianyu gazing at him with those beautiful eyes made Lu Yuanbo nervous, his hands trembling unsure what to do. His sallow face turned a deep reddish-black.
His tone became somewhat hesitant: "No...no, it's not the right time yet, brother. I'll tell them clearly when the time comes, it'll be the same."
Lu Yuanqing reached out and patted Lu Yuanbo on the shoulder earnestly: "I've said what I needed to say. What to do next is up to you!"
Now that this relationship has been established, he has no choice but to take care of the Xie family grandfather and grandson even if he doesn't want to.
Therefore, Lu Yuanqing handed over the task of delivering food to the Xie family to Lu Yuanbo: "Don't mess it up. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."
Lu Yuanbo was overjoyed and confidently patted his chest, assuring everyone, "Brother, you can rest assured that I can handle things well."
Even if someone is usually unreliable, they still have to stand up straight in front of Xie Qianyu.
In addition, he also had to clean up Lu Yuanbo's mess.
Lu Yuanbo beat the man up, and naturally the other party wouldn't let it go.
As Lu Yuanqing said.
Early the next morning, a group of people angrily blocked the Lu family's door.
Bang bang bang— The door was being pounded on. Lu Yuanqing opened the door groggily and was met with several angry faces.
A cold wind howled, blowing into the room from outside. Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but shiver, turned around and went back to his room to get a coat, putting it on and exhaling a warm breath: "What wind blew you all here?" "Hmph!"
The man snorted coldly, glaring angrily at Lu Yuanqing: "Lu Yuanbo came to our residence yesterday and knocked my brother's head open with his index finger, leaving him with many scrapes and cuts. How are we going to settle this score?" Bloodshed always means financial loss.
Everyone is tightening their belts to make ends meet these days, so they're using your extra money to pay for medical treatment.
The person was hit on the head and bled profusely; no matter what, they should go to the door to demand an explanation.
Facing the menacing crowd, Lu Yuanqing remained defiant: "Everyone, our fourth son isn't unreasonable either. He never offends others unless they offend him."
"Maybe you guys did something stupid to provoke the fourth brother."
"Pah!" The leader spat viciously on the ground and angrily shouted, "You're definitely going to protect your own family members."
We'll protect our side too. Putting everything else aside, if you come up with twenty yuan today, this matter will be over. Otherwise, don't expect things to go smoothly.
People are selfish, especially in these impoverished times. They will naturally try to gain as much advantage as possible.
"Who said you wanted twenty yuan? Why are you so wide-open-mouthed? You dare to ask for a month's salary for a city dweller?"
Hearing the commotion, Lu Yuanbo ran out dressed and happened to overhear these words.
When they saw a group of people blocking the doorway, they immediately erupted in anger.
He hurriedly put on his clothes, looking fierce: "You still dare to come to our door? Looks like you've lost your temper again."
He was about to charge forward and fight the other side. He wasn't just going to fight for pride.
Even if the other side has a large number of people, you can't back down. Roll up your sleeves and charge forward.
Lu Yuanqing's brow twitched, and he pulled the person back: "Fourth Brother!"
The other party immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Look at the arrogance of your fourth son. He's really too arrogant. He hit someone and still has this attitude."
This is outrageous! They have absolutely no respect for anyone. It seems this can't be resolved peacefully. I'll have to let the captain and the higher-ups decide this matter."
