Chapter 263 Fu Huaiyi: "My relationship with the two elders was one of unexpected friendship.&q
Despite his best efforts, his plans ultimately failed.
"Oh, I should have grown a beard earlier."
Lin Yuyao chuckled, "Why don't you say you should get plastic surgery beforehand?"
"Plastic surgery?"
"Makeup, a makeup that's practically a disguise."
Is it too late now?
Lin Yuyao: "..." He actually got serious.
As they were talking, Lin Yuyao saw her father.
She hurriedly said, "It's too late, let's go, the ugly son-in-law will eventually have to be seen."
Then he waved to Lin Dawei, "Dad."
Lin Dawei was carrying a piece of meat in one hand and a fish in the other.
He had just bought fish and meat and was almost home when he ran into his daughter and son-in-law.
Lin Dawei shouted happily, "Yuyao, you're back!"
“Yes, Dad, I’ll help you carry it.” Lin Yuyao jogged over to him.
Lin Dawei repeatedly said, "No need, no need, this young man..."
He looked Fu Huaiyi up and down, "This must be young Fu."
Fu Huaiyi suppressed his nervousness and called out with a smile, "Father."
Lin Dawei's smile froze, thinking to himself, "They're already shouting?"
That's fine too.
I was initially worried that the young man was ugly, but now it seems he's quite nice, even more handsome than Lu Jiangting.
Lin Dawei happily agreed.
"Hey, you must be tired from your journey. Come on, let's go back and have your mom cook you a bowl of poached eggs."
As expected, his father-in-law didn't recognize him, and Fu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief before following them back to the Lin family home.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, Lin Dawei shouted into the house, "Lian, Yuyao has brought Xiao Fu back."
"Hey, please invite your son-in-law inside. I'll be right out."
She was stewing chicken in the house when she heard Lin Dawei say that, so she quickly dealt with the fire in the stove.
Lin Dawei placed the meat and fish in a stone basin outside the courtyard and invited Fu Huaiyi to come inside and sit down first.
Fu Huaiyi was nervous, thinking that his mother-in-law would be coming out soon and he wasn't mentally prepared. He asked Lin Dawei, "Dad, where's the toilet?"
I noticed that the young man's expression was a bit strange.
Lin Dawei quickly led him to the backyard to find a toilet.
When Ye Lian finished extinguishing the fire in the stove and came out, she only saw Lin Yuyao tidying up her things.
Ye Lian looked around, but couldn't find her son-in-law.
Lin Yuyao said, "Mother, I'm here."
"I saw him/her, where's your partner?"
Well, after not seeing her for months, my first thought was to find her boyfriend.
“My dad took him to the backyard to use the toilet.”
"Oh, then I'll go and boil the eggs, and he can eat them when he comes out."
"You haven't even seen the person yet, and you're already cooking? Aren't you afraid you'll regret it?"
Here, it is a tradition to cook poached eggs for the newly married son-in-law.
If he takes a liking to something, I'll cook him a bowl of poached eggs.
If you don't like it, you can't eat it.
Once the man returns home, his relatives and friends will ask him if he ate a fried egg, and that will tell them whether the woman has taken a liking to him or not.
Ye Lian thought about it and agreed, then smiled and said to Lin Yuyao, "It shouldn't be wrong. I know it can't be wrong even without looking."
"What do you mean?" Lin Yuyao paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Lin Ping told you?"
Since she had already guessed it, Ye Lian could only smile and nod.
"Yes, Lin Ping told me everything, and it sounds reliable to me."
It's rare that she thinks Lin Ping's words are reliable.
You can run away from something for a while, but you can't hide forever. Fu Huaiyi made an excuse to go to the outhouse and do some mental preparation, but in the end, he still had to come out and face Ye Lian.
"mother."
A strange male voice came from behind her, and Ye Lian was overjoyed. She turned around to look at her son-in-law who had just come out of the outhouse.
Then, upon seeing his face, Ye Lian's smile immediately froze.
"It's you?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." Oh no, he recognized me at a glance.
"Mother, it's me. Long time no see." Fu Huaiyi forced an awkward smile.
Ye Lian's face darkened instantly, and she asked irritably, "How could it be you?"
Lin Dawei, standing to the side, was completely bewildered, wondering how his wife could know her son-in-law.
Didn't they say the son-in-law is from out of town?
This must be your first time here.
"Mother, this means we are destined to be together."
"Pah! You're telling me this is what fate is?"
"Yes, fate is a mysterious thing. The fact that we all met last year is a destiny ordained by heaven."
Lin Yuyao had originally wanted to speak up for him, but when she heard him bring up metaphysics, she shut her mouth.
Give him room to maneuver; it's not too late to intervene when he can no longer handle the situation.
Ye Lian was also shocked and said angrily, "Then tell me, when we went to the Lu family to break off the engagement last year, you pinned us to the ground without saying a word. What kind of fate is that?"
"That's called a chance encounter where you become friends after a fight."
Ye Lian: "..."
Lin Dawei had never remembered who Fu Huaiyi was until Ye Lian reminded him.
It turns out that this young man was one of the people who pinned them to the ground last March.
Wasn't he going to the Lu family's wedding banquet?
It's only been a little over a year, how did the person who was supposed to be attending the wedding banquet suddenly become the person who invited the wedding banquet?
"Good heavens, it's you, kid. Humph, I remember clearly how you made me eat dirt on the ground back then. And you still want to marry Yuyao? I think you're dreaming."
Fu Huaiyi: "Dad, the person who pinned you to the ground is my friend."
Lin Dawei: "..."
"Then you pressed Yuyao Niang."
"Yes, Mother, I'm so sorry. Look at this unexpected turn of events, it's quite an interesting arrangement by fate. How about... you switch it back now, and I'll eat a mouthful of dirt too?"
Ye Lian: "..."
"Pah! I have no reason to believe we have any connection. Yuyao, come here and tell me what's going on?"
Lin Yuyao then went through the whole story of her relationship with Fu Huaiyi.
From the moment she mentioned going to Nancheng to sever ties with Lu Jiangting, Lu Jiangting initially lied to her, saying that the marriage certificate was already in place.
Fu Huaiyi offered her advice, suggesting she first visit Lao Zhou.
When Lu Jiangting tried to take advantage of the situation, it was he who helped drive him away.
Later, he even helped her find a job and did a lot of help, both big and small.
They then realized that their daughter's trip to Nancheng to "get a divorce" was just a simple matter of saying one sentence, but in reality, she had suffered so much.
Ye Lian listened with tears welling up in her eyes, "You silly child, you really only ever report good news and never bad. Every time you call, you say everything is great, all the troubles are resolved, the job is settled, and you keep saying all sorts of good things. But what happened? You didn't say a word about the suffering you endured."
What did she say?
The money her family gave her, in order for her to come and seek justice for them, was borrowed from who-knows-where.
After she spoke, her parents at home couldn't help at all; they could only worry helplessly.
Even if we took the train, it would take three days and three nights. Besides, where would we get the money to go through all that trouble?
Rather than letting them worry, it's better to say nothing.
"Mother, everything is fine now. I'm confident I can handle it, so I won't say anything."
