Chapter 232 Keep your anger to yourself
"I'll leave when my older brother comes back."
"Oh, then you need to buy tickets in advance."
"It's alright. It's only been a short time since the New Year. Everyone else is heading to big cities, but we're going to the countryside, so tickets are relatively easy to buy."
This is true.
The day before yesterday, when she called home, her parents mentioned that Lu Jiangting's father had been waiting at the ticket office for several days but hadn't been able to buy tickets. He even came to ask them how she and Lin Ping had managed to buy their tickets.
Their parents told them they had bought plane tickets, and only then did they shut up.
They couldn't bear to spend the money on plane tickets.
……
Three days later, Pan Yi was brought back, but he refused to leave.
He said he couldn't swallow this insult, so he rolled up his sleeves and stood guard in front of the door, waiting for Fu Huaiyi to get off work so he could settle the score with him.
Pan Xiaohua tried to persuade them, but nothing she said worked. She just stood there, looking exhausted, with her arms around her sister and niece.
Finally, Fu Huaiyi arrived. As usual, he went to pick up Lin Yuyao as soon as he got off work, and the two of them came back together.
There were quite a few onlookers in the hallway, and as soon as the main characters arrived, they all made way for them.
Lin Yuyao frowned and tugged at him.
"Be careful, this is on the stairs."
"It's alright. We live in a society governed by the rule of law. We don't need to resort to brute force to solve problems."
He is a soldier and a military and political figure. Could he really lay a hand on Pan Yi in front of so many people?
He's standing here today, letting Pan Yi hit him. If Pan Yi dares to touch him, he can send him back to work for the government.
"Oh, you're still not satisfied after being locked up for three days? You want to settle scores with me?"
Pan Yi rolled up his sleeves, glanced at Lin Yuyao, and felt a mixture of jealousy and hatred towards Fu Huaiyi.
"That's right, I just went to borrow some water, but you framed me for stealing a gas cylinder. You arrested me and showed me that ID card, do you think I didn't see it? After the policeman saw your ID, he was all smiles and bowing to you, so naturally he believed whatever you said."
"Hmph, nonsense. You probably don't know that defamation is also a crime."
"Pah! You think saying a few words is a crime? You beat me up and nothing happens, but I got locked up for three days just to borrow some water. Come on, everyone, be the judge! How can people be bullied like this? I just won't stand for it."
Fu Huaiyi gave him a cold look. "Oh, you need to climb through the window to get water?"
Pan Yi: "..."
"Do you think people can just convict someone like that? Why don't you go see how you managed to pick that lock? Why don't you go check the window upstairs and see if your shoe prints are still there?"
Some onlookers were already being misled by him.
Upon hearing Fu Huaiyi's words, someone in the crowd said, "I saw two police officers come to investigate a couple of days ago, and they did indeed collect shoe prints from the stairwell window."
Immediately, someone else said, "The police would never wrong someone. They must have collected his shoe prints, fingerprints, and other evidence to convict him."
"Yes, he must have recruited people from the police station, otherwise they wouldn't have locked him up."
“I’m telling you, Pan Yi, you’ve already admitted to doing these sneaky things, and you’ve already been locked up, so stop making trouble out of nowhere.”
"Yes, be careful not to send it in again."
Pan Yi was furious. "Fine, fine, I accept being locked up for three days. But what about him? Look at the damage he did to me! My face is all swollen. Stealing the gas cylinder was wrong, and I accept being locked up, but wasn't hitting him also wrong? Why wasn't he locked up?"
“If you come to my house, how am I supposed to know you're there to steal something or try to do something to me? If I hit you, it's in self-defense.”
"What? What did I do to you? What could a grown man like you do to you? I thought..."
"Big brother," Pan Xiaohua said sternly, "That's enough. You're only locked up for three days because you didn't steal it. If you had actually stolen the gas cylinder, it wouldn't have been a three-day thing."
Pan Yi was so angry that his lips trembled, but he had no choice but to accept it.
"Alright, stop making a fuss." Pan Xiaohua pushed him into the house.
Pan Yi was extremely unwilling and wanted to hit Fu Huaiyi, but he didn't dare.
Fu Huaiyi has a special status; if he's beaten, he might actually go back to jail.
So he was unwilling... and that's why he was unwilling.
Pan Yi was pulled back to the door by Pan Xiaohua, when Fu Huaiyi suddenly called out to stop Pan Xiaohua.
Pan Xiaohua stopped and looked at him. "Is there something you need?"
"Okay, come up with us for a moment."
Pan Xiaohua said a few words to her family and then went upstairs with Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao.
Fu Huaiyi said, "Your family should leave now."
Pan Xiaohua nodded, "I know, don't worry, we'll leave as soon as possible."
"I'll give you three days. If you don't leave after three days, I'll send people to forcibly take the house away."
Pan Xiaohua was taken aback, "Take the house away?"
"Yes, my uncle asked me to help take this house back."
Pan Xiaohua suddenly remembered that the house belonged to her second sister-in-law.
No, she's not her second sister-in-law anymore; she's now the eldest daughter of the Fu family.
The house belonging to the eldest daughter of the Fu family will naturally not be given to them to live in; it will be taken back.
"Brother Fu, can you tell me about my second brother... and Sister Xiaoyi?"
"They got divorced."
“I know, I’ve heard about it too, but we haven’t seen my second brother, and we don’t know where he went. My eldest brother said that he’s probably been hidden by you. Sister Xiaoyi didn’t want him to have anything to do with our family, so she told us they got divorced.”
"You're overthinking it. They've just gotten divorced. You can check if you don't believe me."
Only my sister-in-law believed what my elder brother said.
She actually believed that they were indeed divorced.
"Where is my second brother? Why isn't he home?"
Fu Huaiyi thought that the girl from the Pan family was a reasonable person, so he said a few more words to her.
“He probably regretted it and felt sorry for my sister. He agreed to the divorce himself. After the divorce, he left without saying where he was going, but my uncle had someone check and found that he bought a train ticket to Guangcheng.”
Guangcheng?
Do we have to go south again?
"That's so far, what's he going to Guangcheng for?"
"There are more opportunities over there, so maybe they want to make some money."
Pan Xiaohua nodded, said nothing, and walked away dejectedly.
Lin Yuyao spoke only after she left.
"I think this Miss Pan is a nice person."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Her sister and niece seemed timid, but they both seemed alright."
Of their family, Pan Yi's personality was most like that of Old Madam Wang.
Then Pan Hong became a little more swayed, probably because he had been brainwashed by his mother since childhood and believed that everything should be done in the best interests of the Pan family.
He knew perfectly well that his mother's actions were wrong, but he just couldn't refuse.
His perfectly good marriage was ruined, and of course he regretted it.
However, in this world, if someone does something wrong, they won't be forgiven just because they regret it.
……
"Xiao Hua, what did Fu Huaiyi want you to say upstairs?"
