Chapter 127 The Eight Trigrams Get More and More Outlandish as They Are Spread.
"They're sleeping on the floor, what's it to you? Ah Yi, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say any of those things you guessed."
Yi Yunshuo thought to himself, you're not lying, but Lu Jiangting was so nervous after learning that you went to Fang Qing's house, he must have something to hide.
If there was really nothing wrong, would he act like that?
"Hey, I really didn't realize that. It turns out that what the villagers in the big village were gossiping about wasn't just baseless rumors."
The two of them went to Lu Jiangting's hometown. He still vividly remembers the words of the villagers around him when Lin Yuyao and his parents came to visit that day.
What? Lu Jiangting was in Fang Qing's room in broad daylight, a man and a woman alone, with the door closed.
What? He wants to take on two jobs?
At that time, he did not understand the meaning of this saying. After asking the local old lady, he understood that in the local area, there were cases where a brother died and was worried that his wife would marry someone else with her grandson, or that there were no children to inherit the family business. So, he would let his other sons take on two households and marry two wives.
This feudal dregs have long been abolished, but people in some remote areas were late in liberating their minds.
Although such things no longer happen in reality, the older folks can still say a few words about them.
However, Lu Jiangting and Wang Jianjun are not blood brothers.
Pshaw, that's just an excuse for his promiscuous relationships.
Yi Yunshuo pondered, muttering to himself, "One minute he's running out in a panic, the next he's afraid you'll say something inappropriate. I think this kid probably has something to hide."
Fu Huaiyi wouldn't spread rumors, but Yi Yunshuo was a bit of a gossip, even though Fu Huaiyi told him not to talk about it.
But when someone asked him out of curiosity, he would secretly tell them.
After saying that, he warned the other party, "Don't tell anyone. This is just a wild guess, and maybe I'm wrong."
"Okay, okay, I'm just listening to some gossip. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
The man turned around and was stopped by another person, "Xiao Liu, what were you whispering about with Yi Yunshuo just now?"
"No, I didn't say anything."
"What's all the mystery about? You must have said something, tell me."
"No, I can't tell you. I promised them I wouldn't tell anyone."
"..."
"Don't worry, I'm just listening to gossip. Tell me secretly, and I won't tell anyone. I'm very tight-lipped."
"Really?"
"It's real, even more real than pearls."
"Then come here, I'll tell you quietly, but you better keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone."
"Okay, tell me."
Xiao Liu quickly spread the word.
The other party promised not to tell anyone, but someone saw him and Xiao Liu talking furtively, looking surprised, and they were very curious.
I ran over and asked that person, and after giving them assurances, I passed on another one.
Soon, more than half of their group knew.
Finally, Old Wang caught two people.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Chen, you two come here."
With their heads down, Xiao Li and Xiao Chen followed Lao Wang into his office timidly, like children caught red-handed by their homeroom teacher.
"Director, what do you need us for?"
Old Wang asked, "What are you two talking about so furtively?"
"No, I didn't say anything."
"Hmph, I was just using the toilet next door, I heard everything."
Two people: "..."
"What exactly happened? What do you mean by 'having affairs'?"
"No...we didn't say that."
"Still lying? Have you forgotten the rules? You dare to lie to me? I think you two don't want to stay in this business anymore."
The two men immediately deflated after being yelled at by him.
"Yes, that's true. We've heard it from others too, that Lu Jiangting is having affairs with women."
"What?" Old Wang was so shocked he almost spat out his tea.
Lu Jiangting was one of his favorite subordinates. Among their group, he was the youngest, meticulous in his work, and quick-witted.
Ahem, of course, I'm referring to work.
In handling personal matters, they are not tactful enough, are prone to making mistakes, and seem to lack mental agility.
He hopes that this kind of child can perform well at work and not let his private life ruin him.
So Old Wang asked them what happened with great concern.
When a message is passed from one person to another, it may still be 90% true, but by the time it reaches the tenth person, it will be completely distorted.
This is about Lu Jiangting.
According to Fu Huaiyi, people only saw him rushing out of Fang Qing's house.
He said he rushed to catch the bus, suspecting he had misremembered his work hours.
Then, when Fu Huaiyi went to visit Fang Qing and her son with his things, he found that they only had one room.
The rumor is that Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing have already slept together. This Lu Jiangting is a scoundrel; fearing that they would hold him responsible, he ran away in a panic without even fastening his pants.
When Fu Huaiyi visited Fang Qing and her son with gifts, he found Fang Qing sitting on the ground crying, her clothes disheveled.
"What?!" Old Wang was furious when he heard this.
"Hey, this kid, I thought he was pretty honest, but he actually did something like pulling up his pants and then denying it."
He suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a minute, I remember he has a girlfriend, right? I even approved his relationship report last year."
Xiao Chen said, "He originally had a girlfriend. I heard that his family arranged a marriage for him back home, but the two of them didn't get along well, and they broke off the engagement a few months ago."
Break off the engagement? Didn't that kid Lu Jiangting say it was only temporary?
Old Wang stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "I remember borrowing money from someone, and that person came to block me and demanded repayment. Since he couldn't pay it back, I lent him a hundred yuan so he could pay off the debt."
"Yes, it's possible that they borrowed money from someone and couldn't pay it back, so they used their son to pay off the debt," Xiao Li boldly guessed.
This bold guess was quite outrageous, but Old Wang believed it to some extent, thinking it might be true.
In some rural areas where people were less open-minded, marriage is not taken seriously and is treated like a game.
He had almost approved a dating report before, which said that the other party was the daughter of the brigade leader. Ten years ago, her family was starving and asked the brigade leader for grain, on the condition that she give her best son to the brigade leader's family to become a live-in son-in-law.
The battalion commander's family had no sons, and they treated him quite well, supporting his education and sending him to the army.
When they reached a certain age and it was time for them to get married, the relationship report was sent to him, which he found very strange.
Later, the person who conducted the background check came back and told him the whole story, and he didn't approve it.
What era are we living in? People still engage in arranged marriages.
The man had been applying to serve in Tibet, where there was a classified project that would mean he might not be able to return for eight or ten years. Only then did he realize that the man was completely unwilling.
Forcing two people like that together wouldn't bring them happiness, which is why he didn't approve it.
