Chapter 152 Confession Rejected

Tonight there was no moon in the sky, and it seemed like it might rain. When Luo Qiao arrived, there were still over twenty minutes left until the agreed time. As she finished preparing the goods, she could already hear the sound of a car.

After welcoming the person in and settling the accounts, when the driver returned to fetch the last batch of goods, he handed Luo Qiao a bag.

Luo Qiao asked, “What’s this?”

The driver said, “On our way back from the south this time, we brought some fruits from there. I’ve brought you two as well. Enjoy them.”

Luo Qiao smiled, “I won’t hesitate then. Thank you.”

The driver chuckled, “No need to thank me. We’ve never missed enjoying your fish either, haha.”

After seeing the person off, Luo Qiao stored the items back into the space and then headed towards the village.

Just coming up from the small path and about to head towards her own home, Luo Qiao heard voices speaking at Lu Yichen’s doorstep.

It was so late and someone was still visiting. Worried it might be trouble from the Sun family again, she took a few steps in that direction. She paused to listen clearly to the conversation before moving forward, not wanting to get caught like last time.

She heard Lu Yichen saying, “I have nothing to say to you. It’s late, aren’t you afraid of gossip? I don’t want to lose face, so please leave.”

Another voice responded, “Lu Yichen, you don’t know what’s good for you. You have a good job, but don’t forget you’re crippled. It’s your luck that I even consider you.”

Lu Yichen sneered, “I can’t afford that kind of luck. Let me make it clear one last time. If you dare to come and harass me again, don’t blame me for being rude. Try it if you don’t believe me.”

Luo Qiao realized, could it be the voice of Gao Taohua, the other woman?

She thought to herself, this woman is really persistent. It seems Li Xiulan wasn’t satisfied with the match set up by Gao Taohua’s family. Just as she finished thinking this, she heard Gao Taohua crying, “Yichen, I really cherish you. My mom has already arranged someone for me.

But I like you. As long as the bride price you offer is higher than what’s been arranged, my mom won’t object. I beg you, I don’t want to marry that person. Please consider it as doing a good deed and save me, okay?”

Lu Yichen replied, “Take your hands off me. If you don’t, don’t blame me for hurting you. I’ve never seen such shameless behavior from you. Coming to harass someone in the middle of the night.”

Seeing that Lu Yichen stubbornly refused, Gao Taohua tried to grab Lu Yichen’s hand pushing the door, but Lu Yichen widened the door, directly kicked her to the ground, and coldly said, “Get lost.”

After saying this, he directly closed the door. Gao Taohua, seeing that Lu Yichen didn’t leave any room for negotiation, stood up in anger and stomped her feet. If it weren’t for Lu Yichen’s good looks and decent job, who would fancy a crippled man?

She wanted to vent her anger with harsh words, but feared being discovered. If anyone found out, she wouldn’t be able to explain.

Gao Taohua could only leave angrily and walk back in the dark. She had no choice. The family her parents had arranged for her wasn’t to her liking at all. Their family conditions were average, and he was the youngest son in the family.

She secretly inquired and found out that not only did they earn the same work points as women, but they also didn’t work every few days. Her family wanted to find a capable daughter-in-law, so they offered a higher bride price than the other family.

Unfortunately, her mother was greedy and chose this family. The man had visited once during the blind date, and his looks were really not that great. Today she came to give it one last try.

After all, there weren’t many families who could offer a bride price higher than that of other family’s. In the village, it seemed that only Lu Yichen could do it, but she never expected to be kicked out before even entering the door. It was really frustrating.
