Chapter 207 A Woman Who Doesn't Know Her Steps
He was right. He was all alone now. Yu Lu finally sighed and began to announce her funeral arrangements.
After those events passed, Yu Lu sold her property, dismissed her servants, and took her little fool with her to embark on the wandering life she desired. After meeting Zhao Jihua and others, she asked them to cure her child's mental illness.
Zhao Jihua waved his hand and immediately took out the pills that Xia Li had given him.
(Xia Li: Actually, I got it from Xing Beiluo!)
In the following days, Yulu noticed something was wrong.
Previously, they had always been seen as siblings.
But after that day, the relationship between the two began to subtly change.
That day, the little fool secretly went to take the divorce papers and was about to tear them up when Yulu caught him red-handed.
"Hehe, I've wanted to tear it up for a long time, but I was too stupid before and could never find it."
The silly boy looked at her and said affectionately, "Please don't leave me."
A sudden ripple of emotion stirred within Yu Lu: "Hmm..."
"Actually, when you asked me to write this... divorce agreement that day, I could already read. Those words, 'let my wife leave and we shall have nothing to do with each other from now on,' really hurt me."
Yu Lu opened her mouth wide in surprise: "I thought you wouldn't understand!"
The little fool said dejectedly, "You forgot, you taught me to read every day. Although I don't know many characters, I can tell that you want to leave me."
Yu Lu looked somewhat angry: "You understood it and you still agreed? Fine, you want to get rid of me?"
The simpleton quickly explained, "No, it's because you're not happy in the manor. I can tell. Since this will make you happy, I'll sign... But I really can't bear to part with you..."
As he spoke, he burst into tears and threw himself into Yulu's arms.
"So you cried and begged me not to leave you back then?"
"I used to be a fool..." she suddenly laughed again, earnestly confessing:
"I really love you, will you be my wife?"
Yu Lu nodded slightly. The little fool was stunned for a moment, then reacted and happily hugged her and spun her around. The two immediately decided to prepare to hold a wedding ceremony in the village.
……
Yu Lu sat on the wedding bed, her heart filled with emotion.
When did she fall in love with him? Was it the sincere look in his eyes when they first met? Was it that he always stood by her side? Although he was mentally challenged, he cared about her feelings, stood by her side against his mother, and was always there for her when she needed him. Even when she said she wanted to go out and make her way in the world, he followed her without hesitation. Despite being a pampered, mentally challenged son from a wealthy family, he didn't care about the hardships of life. Even though he didn't know martial arts, he would always step forward and shield her in times of danger, protecting her as if she were his own life.
Although this man is foolish, he is indeed a good husband. It's just that neither of them made their own decisions about their marriage. She was afraid that he didn't like her, which is just like a child's dependence on an adult.
Now it's all good. His mental illness is cured, and he even said he likes me. How can the world treat me so well?
After the wedding banquet, Xia Li and the others prepared to leave.
Yu Lu exclaimed in surprise: "I've seen this person before. They all have a symbol that looks like Sagittarius on their bodies, but the center of their swords is a trumpet vine flower."
Xia Li immediately asked, "Which sect uses this emblem?"
Yu Lu thought for a moment, then said somewhat apologetically, "I...I have a vague recollection, but I can't remember the specifics..."
Xia Li: "It's okay, just write to me when you remember, okay?"
"Ok!"
……
Zhao Jihua and his group continued walking and saw a young woman crying uncontrollably by the river.
He even considered jumping into the river to commit suicide!
"Hey hey!"
Xia Li and the others quickly stepped forward to stop her.
Fearing she might continue to have suicidal thoughts, they dragged her several meters away from the river.
The woman was terrified by the sudden turn of events and cried out, "Heroes, please don't arrest me! I can give you money; my husband has so much money, really! Please..."
At the same time, Xia Li said, "Please don't do anything rash!"
"Please... ah?" The woman realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to do anything rash."
"Then why did you jump into the river just now?"
The woman looked a little embarrassed: "I just slipped, it was an accident!"
"..."
Zhao Jihua and the others quickly released her.
The group then began to chat.
The woman's name was Jin Jiaojiao, with the character "jiao" meaning delicate or charming.
At this moment, Jin Jiaojiao wiped away her tears and complained, "I had a fight with my husband today, so I went out for a walk to clear my head. My husband and I are very loving, and we've never even argued since we got married. Even when my mother-in-law makes things difficult for me, he's always on my side. But this time, he not only yelled at me, but also sided with his mother and told me to obediently have the baby, even though he always helped me refuse before!"
Zhao Jihua was not fooled by her tearful appearance and said bluntly, "There must be some hidden story we don't know. You need to tell us everything so we can help you find the right solution."
Jin Jiaojiao seemed a little guilty: "But...but..."
Zhao Jihua: "Do you still want to reconcile with your husband?"
"..."
Jin Jiaojiao then recounted the whole story.
It turns out that her younger brother was getting married a while ago, and her mother asked him to help her figure out how to do it. So she secretly took half of her savings and gave it to her brother. She also often secretly gave money to her family.
Therefore, Jiaojiao has never dared to get pregnant and have children, because she is afraid that if she stops managing the money or her husband spends money on things, she might find that the amount doesn't match up.
However, the matter of having children cannot be avoided forever. Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. At the dinner table, my mother-in-law once again brought up the idea of wanting to have a grandson to her daughter-in-law and urged them to have a baby.
This time, her husband didn't give Jiaojiao a chance to refuse and agreed on the spot.
Then the husband took out an expensive necklace and gave it to his mother-in-law, saying, "We haven't had children yet, which has caused you worry. This is a gift from your son to you. Please accept it so that we can all be happy. We will then seriously consider having a baby."
Jin Jiaojiao was immediately unhappy. She felt that she was in charge of deciding what to spend money on at home, so why did her husband buy such an expensive thing for his mother without her consent? Moreover, Jiaojiao had no idea that her husband had spent money on this.
After the birthday party, the couple returned home.
As soon as Jiaojiao entered the door, she started to throw a tantrum: "What's wrong with you? Where did you get the money to buy such an expensive necklace for your mother-in-law? Did you even discuss it with me? Do you even respect me as your wife?"
To my surprise, my usually good-tempered husband was surprisingly cold this time, asking, "It's my mother's birthday, what's wrong with me giving her a gift? I'm spending my own money, is there a problem with that?"
