From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 513: Chapter 509: Got Retribution (5th Update)

The last sentence was obviously added by Yuanbao himself.

Lu Yuanfeng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

In recent times, he’s been busy with lots of things, indeed neglecting him.

Lu Yuanfeng felt a bit moved, and his expression softened slightly.

”Yuanbao, do you blame Second Brother for not having time to spend with you?” Lu Yuanfeng asked.

”Of course not, Second Brother should spend more time with Sister Shuangshuang. Yuanbao has Little Zhi to accompany me. When I grow up, I want to marry Little Zhi, just like Second Brother and Sister Shuangshuang.”

”Do you know what a wife means, Yuanbao?”

Yuanbao had a good relationship with Little Zhi, which Lu Yuanfeng always knew, but he didn’t know that in Yuanbao’s heart, Little Zhi was positioned as his wife.

”I know, just like Sister Shuangshuang and Second Brother. Little Zhi and I are young. You will definitely say I don’t understand, but it’s okay. I am willing to give all my meat to Little Zhi.”

After all, he was just a child, speaking in a confused and somewhat jumbled manner.

Lu Yuanfeng didn’t take it to heart either.

He busied himself for a while, taking the cooked fish out of the pot and putting rice and sweet potatoes in to cook.

Just as he finished adding firewood, a faint sobbing sound came from outside, very faint but Lu Yuanfeng heard it clearly.

”Second Brother, outside...” Yuanbao also noticed.

”I’ll go out and have a look,” Lu Yuanfeng said.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Xia Guagua crying uncontrollably outside his courtyard.

Seeing someone he didn’t like, Lu Yuanfeng frowned, turned around, and walked away.

This time, he wouldn’t give Xia Guagua a chance to enter his house again.

Xia Guagua got anxious and called, ”Brother Yuanfeng, I really know I was wrong. I’m in a terrible state now. My mother is forcing me to marry Wang Fugui. The Wang Family doesn’t like me; they feel ashamed of me, and Wang Fugui...”

Since the last time Xia Guagua was caught by the villagers, her life hasn’t been easy. Wherever she goes, people call her a slut, a cheap woman.

Even Gu Jiulian no longer supports her, just wanting her to marry into the Wang Family.

Wang Fugui is not a decent person. Even before marriage, he goes to brothels and has even tried several times to force himself on Xia Guagua.

Now, Xia Guagua feels like living is worse than dying.

But deep down, she still can’t let go of Lu Yuanfeng.

Yuanbao rushed out of the house and yelled at Xia Guagua, ”You are too bad, Sister Shuangshuang never harmed you, but you keep causing her trouble. Not only my Second Brother doesn’t care for you, but even I don’t care for you!”

”Go away, don’t appear in front of my house’s courtyard, or I’ll call the village head to deal with you!”

Yuanbao’s words were still childish, but the kind of loathing they expressed was clear enough.

He, like Lu Yuanfeng, was very protective of those close to him.

Even if the people he cared about did something wrong, they were still right.

People he didn’t like were wrong even if they did the right thing.

Xia Guagua was shocked. She had given so much food to Yuanbao to please Lu Yuanfeng and helped him with laundry, but he turned his back on her in a flash.

”Yuanbao, don’t you owe me for all the food I gave you? When your dad bullied you, it was me who helped you, and now you’re asking me to leave. Why do all of you think that woman is good?”

Xia Guagua thought she wasn’t any worse than Mu Shuangshuang, but why did no one like her?

She knew the outcome this time wouldn’t be good either, but she couldn’t resign herself to all the efforts she made being in vain.

Stubborn and unyielding, that’s what Xia Guagua was like. Once she believed in something, she clung to it no matter how many bad things she did, never turning back.

”Sister Guagua, I’m still calling you that. You can’t compare to Sister Shuangshuang. Sister Shuangshuang never expects anything in return for her efforts. She has made a lot of delicious food for me too, but she never asked for anything in return.”

Yuanbao knew full well who was good to him and who had ulterior motives.

Though he was young, he wasn’t blind.

Every time, although Xia Guagua had given him a lot of things, she had asked him to put in a good word or betray his Second Brother.

Yuanbao naturally didn’t have a good impression of Xia Guagua.

”Yuanbao, let’s go inside and eat!” Lu Yuanfeng didn’t want Yuanbao to have more contact with Xia Guagua, so he called out to Yuanbao.

”Alright!”

The two of them went back into the house, ignoring Xia Guagua. At that moment, Xia Guagua felt humiliated, thinking of how much she had given.

Xia Guagua began to wail loudly.

It was dinnertime, so the villagers were all at home. Hearing such a harrowing cry, they naturally flocked over.

Xia Guagua started to accuse.

”Lu Yuanfeng, you liar, you said you would marry me, that you’d be good to me forever. Liar, liar...”

The villagers were abuzz. Wasn’t this Fengzi with Old Mu Family’s Shuang? How come with this Xia Guagua...

And wasn’t Xia Guagua supposed to marry Old Wang Family’s son?

The villagers were confused but were also eager to hear more juicy details.

Lu Yuanfeng had never seen such shameless people; even slinging mud wasn’t done this way.

”Xia Guagua, don’t falsely accuse me anymore. On normal days, I don’t even let you in my house; where did this talk of marriage come from? I, Lu Yuanfeng, stand upright, this lifetime, I only like Shuangshuang.”

The crowd was again in awe. It’s hard for any girl to bear being exposed like this.

But she deserved it.

In the villagers’ eyes, Xia Guagua had long had an unclear relationship with Wang Fugui.

Now she cries at another man’s doorstep. The implications aren’t shallow.

Nominally, Xia Guagua was also Lu Yuanfeng’s sister in the villagers’ eyes. It’s absurd for a sister to love her brother.

”Ah, we aren’t interested in the Old Lu Family’s mess, just as long as Xia Guagua marries the Wang Family’s son. Otherwise, this issue spreads to other villages, who would dare marry a girl from our village?”

Currently, though the villages were near each other, basically, the news wouldn’t spread outside. But once it did, it would be a huge deal.

The matchmakers typically arranged marriages and had the authority to choose which village’s girl to pick. But if someone like this is in the village, others would reconsider if they want daughters from this village.

If that’s the case, it might affect finding a good match for their own daughters.

So someone went to call Gu Jiulian to handle the situation.

After a while, Gu Jiulian came up to take away the person.

”You girl, why are you out when you’re sick? I already called the doctor and got your medicine, once you take it, you’ll see who’s in front of you.”

Gu Jiulian immediately said to the crowd, pointing at Xia Guagua.

She was shrewd, knowing that the most important thing now was to preserve her daughter’s reputation, or else if the Wang Family’s marriage fell through, she’d be done for.

”Mom, I’m not sick, I’m serious. Why can’t I speak? Lu Yuanfeng is just a scoundrel. He harbors a criminal, that man called Xing Beichen in our village is a criminal!”
