Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Lin Xiaohong Visits the Yue Family

Yue Jiandong made up his mind, regardless of what the people in the village said.

As for Yu Guoqiang, he would not let him off.

However, just at that moment, Yu Guo’an spoke up first.

“Brother Yue, call the police!”

Yu Guoqiang looked up in disbelief, “I’m your brother!”

Without even looking at him, Yu Guo’an said to Yue Jiandong, “As the matchmaker, I must take responsibility. If he dared to commit such a heinous act, he must be prepared to face the consequences!”

The two men made eye contact, and Yue Jiandong understood Yu Guo’an’s intentions.

The former was irritated with his brother’s lack of integrity and was determined to teach Yu Guoqiang a lesson.

On the other hand, it was also a way to show his stance to Yue Jiandong; after all, it’s never too late to mend.

After reporting to the police, they quickly took Yu Guoqiang and Xiuxiu away.

In this era, getting involved with someone outside of marriage could very likely lead to punishment.

If it had been a few years earlier, a hooliganism charge could have even resulted in the death penalty.

But, in these last couple of years, it’s more likely just to result in a lecture.

However, Yu Guoqiang’s greed for money would not be so easily overlooked.

When Yu Guoqiang was taken away, he was begging for mercy, snot and tears streaming down his face, a picture of regret.

Perhaps it was only at this moment that Yu Guoqiang realized that taking others’ kindness for granted comes at a price.

When Yue Jiandong returned home and mentioned what had happened, everyone in the family felt somewhat struck.

Zhang Ying could barely eat her dinner, feeling like she had a lump in her chest.

Yet, Lin Chunju seemed to take it in stride, “It’s better to find out now than after the business has grown bigger. This could have been much worse.”

She had always felt that Yue Jiandong’s business was going too smoothly, that without taking a few falls, it would be hard to grow.

The people of the Yue family all have one flaw, they are too kind-hearted.

They always believe that sincerity begets sincerity, not realizing that some are innately ungrateful.

The more kindness you show them, the more they take you for a pushover, scheming to skim off you.

When the Lin family was wealthy, they always treated their servants well.

But when the family faced trouble, few were there to lend a hand; those who didn’t run off with money were considered good enough.

Such is the fickleness of the world, such is human nature.

Yue Jiandong poured a glass of water to help his wife calm down.

“It’s not a big deal. Like mom said, better to find out now than later, and it’s given me a heads up, too.”

Yue Qingqing nodded and served her mother some food.

“Mom, don’t be sad.”

She then tugged at her mother’s sleeve and whispered into Zhang Ying’s ear, “After dinner, mom still has to listen to my lesson.”

With the encouragement of her husband and daughter, Zhang Ying finally managed to eat a bit more.

Just as Zhang Ying was about to go back to the room with Yue Qingqing to study, an uninvited guest arrived at their home.

Lin Xiaohong, hunching over, knocked on the yard gate cautiously.

Wang Xiaoni quickly called for Lin Chunju to come out.

With the precedent set by He Zhenzhen, the family feared this might be trouble.

Last time, because her man had been locked up, He Zhenzhen had screamed insults at the gate for two hours.

Who knows how long Lin Xiaohong would rant this time?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ying was so angry that she gave up on studying and went out to the yard to watch Lin Xiaohong.

Only Lin Chunju remained calm, her face showing no particular emotion.

“Xiaohong, what brings you here so late?”

Lin Xiaohong suddenly stepped forward, and except for Yue Qingqing, everyone in the Yue family watched her warily.

But Lin Xiaohong suddenly bowed deeply.

“Auntie Lin, I’ve come to apologize. That worthless man in my family did wrong, and I’ve come to make amends.”

This certainly took everyone by surprise.
