Chapter 297 Brothers are like limbs, wives are like clothes
He wouldn't have used his precious family visit leave to attend his wedding if they weren't very good friends.
Lin Yuyao listened as he rambled on about their time at school.
These were things Lin Yuyao didn't know, things she had never known in her entire life, but unexpectedly learned from Fu Huaiyi.
They used to have a really good relationship.
It's true that Lu Jiangting is outstanding, but it's also true that, in her eyes, he's a person of low character.
Lin Yuyao said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Fu Huaiyi was taken aback, and glanced at her sideways. "What do you mean by that?"
"Didn't you say that brothers are like limbs, and wives are like clothes? Clothes can be thrown away casually, but limbs cannot be severed. If it weren't for me, you would still be very good friends, right?"
"Who said that? Let him walk around the street naked and see what happens."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
“Lu Jiangting is that kind of person, and not just anyone can be his brother. He says he treats me like a brother, but in reality, only Wang Jianjun is his brother. Besides, I'm not like him. I'd rather cut off my own limbs than walk around naked in the street.”
Lin Yuyao chuckled, surprised that he could be quite humorous at times.
"We're not exactly brothers or friends, but we can still be considered brothers, right?"
Who would want to be friends with someone like him?
Fu Huaiyi pulled the car over to the side of the road, unbuckled his seatbelt, and leaned over to her.
“He’s always been very stingy. Even without you, I would have broken up with him sooner or later.”
"Really?"
"Yeah, didn't I say he's completely loyal to his brothers, but only if those brothers are loyal to him? If Wang Jianjun hadn't saved his life, he'd still be dead. Do you think he'd be loyal to Wang Jianjun then?"
Lin Yuyao blinked and said, "But I remember that Wang Jianjun was very good to him before his accident, and he even lent him his salary to buy a house."
Fu Huaiyi nodded. "He does have a better relationship with Wang Jianjun. They're from the same place. Wang Jianjun is poorer than him and has a more difficult life. Lu Jiangting seems to be prone to excessive sympathy."
Lin Yuyao thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.
Helping Wang Jianjun, who has a troubled past, helping Fang Qing, who is weak and unable to take care of herself, helping Wang Chenchen, who has no father... Exploiting family members to light up others.
How is this any different from being generous with other people's money?
As she was thinking this, she heard Fu Huaiyi complain, "Wang Jianjun wants to buy a house but doesn't have the money. He originally planned to wait two years, but it was that grandson Lu Jiangting who gave him the idea to borrow money first. He borrowed some himself, but it wasn't enough, so he borrowed from us too."
Lin Yuyao looked surprised, "You borrowed it too?"
“I also borrowed money. It was Lu Jiangting who said that Wang Jianjun didn’t have a house in his hometown, and his wife was living a hard life as a dependent. He only needed to buy a house so that his wife and children would have a place to stay.”
They've already said all that, what else could I do? In the end, less than six months after buying the house, they passed away. They paid back the money they borrowed from them, but they still haven't paid back what they borrowed from me.
what?
Why won't I return it to you?
"That's what I hate about him; that bastard is taking advantage of me. Fang Qing won't pay back the money; Lu Jiangting has been helping her pay it back. Yi Yunshuo and Liu Anguo's families aren't well-off, so we paid them back first."
He said I wasn't short of money and would pay him back later. How could I accept that money? Wang Jianjun was also our friend; he sacrificed his life, leaving behind a widow and her children. I figured he didn't have much money, so I simply told him he didn't need to pay me back.
Lin Yuyao's lips twitched. "How much do I owe you?"
"three hundred."
Three hundred again?
This is fate.
Three hundred yuan is nothing to him, and he generously refused it.
Well, she thought to herself, no wonder people take advantage of you; you are the one who is taken advantage of.
However, what he said also makes sense.
If they were truly an orphan and a widow, and Fang Qing was struggling to raise Wang Chenchen, then anyone would have done the same as Fu Huaiyi.
He really doesn't need those three hundred yuan.
So when he said he wouldn't let them return it, he meant it sincerely.
But after going through so much, the thought of those three hundred yuan still makes him feel uncomfortable.
The car restarted, and when the topic came up again, Fu Huaiyi, feeling frustrated, cited several more examples of Lu Jiangting's "robbing the rich to help the poor".
In short, Fu Huaiyi always ends up being the scapegoat in their little circle.
Who told him to be rich and generous?
Although Yi Yunshuo often asked him to treat him to meals, Yi Yunshuo did not morally coerce him into helping the poor.
He ate it himself, and after he finished eating, we will protect his rights and help him with his affairs; it's still different.
Lin Yuyao was both annoyed and amused by what she heard.
"You know he 'robs the rich to help the poor,' so why do you still keep being friends with him?"
"You don't know it when you're in it; you only see it clearly after you step out of that circle."
That's the point; those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.
“I know their family circumstances are indeed difficult. Sometimes it’s not that I don’t understand, it’s just that I don’t want to fuss over it.”
No wonder he spends so much money. Grandpa said his meager salary wasn't enough for him to squander, and that's the truth.
Fortunately, his family is wealthy.
No, even if his family is poor, they won't keep taking advantage of him.
The more she learned about Fu Huaiyi, the greater the difference between his current image and her initial impression of him became.
He is generous and loyal to his friends, but he is cold to strangers, people he doesn't know well, or people he doesn't like.
In the evening, they drove into a city and found a hotel.
They haven't gotten their marriage certificate yet, and Lin Yuyao is a little worried.
"How about we book two rooms?"
Fu Huaiyi: "What? Why do you need two rooms?"
"We haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet. What if we're unlucky and get arrested?"
Fu Huaiyi took a piece of paper out of his bag. "It's okay, I was prepared. I have this."
"what is this?"
"Old Wang gave me a letter of introduction; with this, I can book a room."
Lin Yuyao: "Will this work?"
"Okay, if that doesn't work, I'll call Lao Wang and have him explain it to me."
They had just gotten married, and he couldn't accept the idea of sleeping in separate rooms.
In the end, I booked a double room.
After a long day of travel, Lin Yuyao felt exhausted and didn't want to move once she lay down on the bed.
Fu Huaiyi tugged at her, "It's still early, don't sleep."
"Then I don't want to move either."
"Fine, fine, I won't let you move."
"Hey, no... let me rest for a while." She quickly protected her clothes.
Fu Huaiyi laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? I told you to eat. If you don't want to move, I'll feed you."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"I don't want to eat either."
"I was driving erratically, I got carsick?"
"No, but I don't have an appetite right now. Let's not eat, we can eat tomorrow morning."
Fu Huaiyi rubbed her head. "Okay, I'll eat by myself then."
She had no appetite because she had been in the car for too long, and she had been eating the whole time in the car so she wasn't hungry at all.
