CHAPTER 702: CHAPTER 698 FORCING LUO XIU’ER INTO A CORNER (PART 1)
Mu Shuangshuang led Yu Liulang to Feng Xiaohua’s home.
As usual, Feng Quezi didn’t make things difficult for Yu Liulang and even let him into the courtyard.
"Sixth Son, since you’re here today, I won’t say much. It’s just that Xiao Hua, this child, is stubborn and rarely changes her mind once she’s set on something.
Just like before, when you wouldn’t marry, she kept waiting and wouldn’t even let you know her thoughts.
This time, I see she’s the same. Whatever it is, she keeps it to herself without telling me her inner thoughts.
This old man finds it painful to watch, but regarding matters between you two, I, as a father, have no place to comment. Now, I just hope you and Xiao Hua will be alright."
Feng Quezi stood in front of Yu Liulang, leaning on his crutch, his face showing not the slightest blame but a look of genuine concern.
He truly is an understanding father. From the start of the matter until now, even when the whole village was scolding Yu Liulang, he always stood by Yu Liulang’s side.
Believing him, giving him a chance.
Because Feng Quezi knows that the only one who can give his daughter happiness is this Yu Liulang.
"Thank you, Dad, I... I will be good to Xiao Hua. In the future, Xiao Hua and I will take care of you together, thank you..."
Yu Liulang felt a mix of gratitude and bitterness as he talked to Feng Quezi and then entered the Feng household.
Since Mu Shuangshuang came, Feng Xiaohua has been lying on the kang resting.
Back at the Feng family for several days, Feng Xiaohua hadn’t eaten a proper meal, and now she was skinny and unrecognizable.
Looking at his wife lying on the kang, Yu Liulang suddenly felt a pang of sadness and tears welled up.
"Xiao Hua, I... nothing happened between me and Luo Xiu’er, I was set up by her."
Yu Liulang’s voice echoed in Feng Xiaohua’s room, and she shuddered.
She grabbed the quilt beside her and started to sob.
Yu Liulang quickly went forward to comfort her. He held Feng Xiaohua and told her everything he had discussed with Shuangshuang.
Including Shuangshuang’s analysis.
"Xiao Hua, you know I can’t have relations with anyone, how could I mess around with Luo Xiu’er? I told you long ago, it’s impossible between Luo Xiu’er and me." Yu Liulang said as he held Feng Xiaohua, crying.
A big man, crying uncontrollably.
Feng Xiaohua felt distressed seeing this.
She finally relented.
"I believe you, just... stop crying, it pains me to see you like this!"
"Xiao Hua..." Yu Liulang cried even harder, and no matter how Feng Xiaohua tried to console him, he wouldn’t stop.
At that moment, both of them suddenly felt how fortunate it was that they could still be together.
As for those hardships, they only served to deepen their trust in each other, nothing more.
"Xiao Hua, let’s stop crying now. There are still things we need to resolve; let’s go find Shuangshuang and discuss a plan!" Yu Liulang carefully wiped away Feng Xiaohua’s tears.
"Okay!" Feng Xiaohua nodded.
The couple appeared hand in hand in the Feng family’s main room, and Mu Shuangshuang knew everything was fine now.
"Shuangshuang, Xiao Hua and I will listen to you. Whatever you ask us to do, as long as it can resolve this matter, we’ll do it," Yu Liulang said.
"Me too!" Feng Xiaohua chimed in.
Mu Shuangshuang nodded and began to analyze.
"Regarding this matter, Luo Xiu’er’s goal is to drive away Aunt Xiao Hua and then become the wife of the uncle?
Since she thinks this way, we’ll do exactly the opposite of what she wants. Uncle, you need to tell her you can’t let down Aunt Xiao Hua.
Aunt Xiao Hua, go back and tell your family that you’ve forgiven Uncle. I suspect Luo Xiu’er will then target Aunt Xiao Hua."
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, Yu Liulang stood up to refute.
"Shuangshuang, we can’t drag your Aunt Xiao Hua into this. This mess is my doing, no matter the beatings or the scoldings, I’ll bear them alone!"
"Sixth Uncle, things aren’t as you wish now. Since Luo Xiu’er dared to target you, Aunt Xiao Hua is her next target.
Instead of waiting for her to find ways and means to strike, we should create opportunities to force her hand.
A clear gun is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against. Knowing what she’s planning helps us devise a counter-strategy," Mu Shuangshuang said.
Lu Yuanfeng said, "Shuangshuang’s uncle, you have no retreat now; you have to follow Shuangshuang’s plan to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Don’t worry. With Shuangshuang around, nothing will go wrong."
Yu Liulang sighed deeply in agreement with Mu Shuangshuang’s plan.
Feng Xiaohua began to pack, preparing to return with Yu Liulang.
Mu Shuangshuang pulled Yu Liulang aside and asked him which businessman in the county Luo Xiu’er had married.
Yu Liulang wasn’t sure either.
"Shuangshuang, this is the Old Luo family’s matter, but I heard the family name is Zhang, and they’re in the cloth and jewelry business."
After speaking, Yu Liulang looked puzzled. "Shuangshuang, aren’t we dealing with Luo Xiu’er? Why bother with whom she married? She’s divorced now, so knowing it doesn’t help, right?"
Mu Shuangshuang shook her head, "Not necessarily, sometimes, it’s the details that can help solve problems.
Besides, there’s an old saying: know yourself and your enemy, and you’ll never lose a battle.
Luo Xiu’er knows your nature very well, and Old Lady Luo probably told her everything about you over the years.
But we’re unfamiliar with her experiences over the years, and if we truly end up in a fight, this lack of knowledge puts us at a disadvantage."
Yu Liulang initially didn’t think knowing Luo Xiu’er’s past was important, but now he saw the intricacies involved.
"Shuangshuang, how does a young girl like you know so much? Even I, as an uncle, feel ashamed in comparison.
Uncle reckons you’re not like a child anymore, no different from adults."
Yu Liulang laughed humbly and scratched his head, looking sincerely at Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang laughed too. "Uncle, I’m really not a child. Others my age are already married, and some might even have children."
Yu Liulang figured she was right and didn’t dwell on the issue.
"Shuangshuang, my wife and I will head back directly, so when should I go talk to Luo Xiu’er and say those things you taught me?" Yu Liulang, eager to resolve the matter, asked.
"Uncle, don’t rush. We need to wait.
Once Luo Xiu’er learns Aunt Xiao Hua has returned, she’ll come looking for you, and you should tell her exactly what I taught you. The rest is up to Fengzi and me."
"Alright, I’ll take Xiao Hua back to the Old Yu Family now."
Over there, Feng Xiaohua packed her clothes, and Yu Liulang helped carry them as they headed to the Old Yu Family together.
On the way, they encountered quite a few villagers who, upon seeing Yu Liulang, would point and talk about him.
