Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Wu Yingying Encounters a Scumbag

"You..." Fu Xiaoxiao looked at the yard, presumably it’s the military’s, but Wu Yingying looks like she’s divorced.

"Don’t be afraid to laugh at me, I..." Wu Yingying gave Fu Xiaoxiao a deep glance and sighed.

"You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to." Fu Xiaoxiao saw her difficulty and smiled.

"I might as well say it anyway! When you leave my house, someone will tell you about me." Wu Yingying let out a bitter smile; her reputation in this big yard was already ruined.

"I originally had a fiancé, we were just about to get married, and I thought he was my true love. For him, I was willing to break ties with my family just to marry him." Wu Yingying smiled, at that time she was really adorably naive.

Fu Xiaoxiao sat up straight.

"My parents couldn’t go against me and eventually agreed to let me get engaged to him. But after the engagement, I found out that his family also had a cousin living with them. They grew up together, and she would always affectionately call him ’cousin,’ which made me very uncomfortable." Wu Yingying sneered.

"At first, I didn’t think much of it, but then she became increasingly outrageous, getting intimate with him right in front of me, and saying things like ’Sorry, cousin-in-law, I’ve gotten used to taking care of cousin before.’ I asked him to send his cousin back home, and he had a huge fight with me, saying I was suspicious and that she came to rely on him because she had no family, and he couldn’t abandon her."

Fu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, oh boy, what a manipulator.

"Later, he brought his parents over to discuss the wedding. His parents knew about my family background and were quite enthusiastic about me, but they would always bring up how tough life was in the village in front of me, and now, as they are old, they can finally enjoy life with their son." Wu Yingying looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, who was listening earnestly.

"I was so foolish at the time, I even let them stay in the house that was allocated to me by my unit. Thinking we were going to get married soon, his family would be my family too. I bought them a lot of things, including all sorts of health supplements, sending them over until right before the wedding, I discovered I was pregnant..."

Wu Yingying closed her eyes in pain.

"Their true colors showed once they knew I was pregnant, they stopped pretending."

"They refused to give the promised dowry, the triple gold was even secretly given by me to them, the most outrageous was one day when I left work early, intending to talk to him, but unexpectedly heard him embracing his so-called cousin, the two were in a compromising position, and his parents actually knew about it and told them to hide it so I wouldn’t find out."

At that time, Wu Yingying just felt like she was about to collapse, everything was fake.

"So-called love at first sight, all that care for me was fake, he got to know about my family situation from somewhere and deliberately approached me. That cousin was his lover all along, after discovering this, I immediately canceled the wedding and sold the unit’s house to someone else. They wouldn’t let me go, came to my unit to make trouble, I had no choice but to hide back at my parents’ house and stayed there for four years." Wu Yingying looked heartbrokenly toward Wu Linlin’s room.

"Everyone in the yard knows I lost my virginity before marriage, causing my parents to lose face; no one is willing to let their kids play with Little Linlin, so Lu Chen being willing to be Little Linlin’s friend makes Little Linlin really happy." Wu Yingying looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, but Fu Xiaoxiao looked at her with the expression of someone disappointed but caring.

Uh, is she angry?

"I was happy listening to the front part, you got away from those trashy people, but I wasn’t satisfied with the latter part." Fu Xiaoxiao said frankly.

"Why did you hide? It wasn’t your fault! That bastard did those things, why didn’t you expose him instead of retreating to your parents’ home? The front was so crisp, why the cowardice later?" Fu Xiaoxiao pointed out the issue.

"Don’t you think... it was my fault?" Wu Yingying froze; no one had ever said this to her.

Everyone accused her of lacking self-respect before marriage, getting pregnant, embarrassing her parents.

"Where’s your mistake? You just happened to meet a scumbag, it’s not your fault. What you gave was your true heart, where’s your mistake! The wrong ones are those with ulterior motives, that trashy guy obviously targeted you, knowing you had a blank space in your emotional life, using such tactics to win you over, making you fall in love and think he’s your lifelong support!" Fu Xiaoxiao said sharply.

"Your parents let you stay at home, proving they didn’t blame you, they’re hurting for you, still willing to accept you! Why bother with pointless judgments? You don’t eat their rice, what you should do is get back on your feet, don’t wallow in self-pity. You just met the wrong person, and it wasn’t your fault." Fu Xiaoxiao’s words left Wu Yingying stunned, afterward tightly gripping Fu Xiaoxiao’s hand.

Fu Xiaoxiao felt Wu Yingying’s hand trembling slightly, like she was grabbing onto a lifeline.

"You... you really think... I’m not wrong?" Wu Yingying’s voice trembled as she asked.

"Would you feel you did wrong if you’re late because you helped an old lady cross the road and got scolded by the teacher?" Fu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow asking.

"Of course not." Wu Yingying shook her head.

"Then why would you think you’re wrong for encountering a scumbag?"

Fu Xiaoxiao’s counter-question plunged Wu Yingying into prolonged silence.

"Think about it, if you met the right person, your sincere effort would have been met with his sincerity, would the outcome have been different? Would Little Lin still be a child without a father? Would you still be criticized by everyone?"

After hearing Wu Yingying’s experience, Fu Xiaoxiao believed the fault didn’t lie with her, she just met a scumbag, how could it possibly be her mistake; unwed pregnancy was most likely deliberately orchestrated by the scumbag to tie her down, using the child as leverage against her.

That so-called cousin was clearly the scumbag’s lover, no doubt secretly involved with him long ago.

Moreover, the scumbag’s parents definitely weren’t any better, acting pitiful from the start, demanding loads of stuff, and finally, upon knowing Wu Yingying got pregnant, assuming they’d pinned her down and not bothering to pretend anymore.

Who would’ve known Wu Yingying found out before the wedding, thwarting their plans.

"You’re right; this isn’t my fault!" When Wu Yingying raised her head again, her whole demeanor was different.

She gave birth to Little Linlin; she didn’t regret it, only blamed herself for losing face for her parents, unable to face them, never raising her head in front of them again.

But in these four years, her parents never blamed her, every time her brother visited, he’d only bring Little Linlin delicious treats, never once did he criticize her.

She herself had been closing herself off, thinking everyone’s eyes on her were full of sharp thorns.

"You need to know that your retreat also affects Little Lin." Fu Xiaoxiao felt heartache watching Wu Linlin, who would go to great lengths to have Lu Chen visit her house and play, eager to please so cautiously.

At such a young age, she should be filled with innocence and joy, not understanding why the others weren’t willing to play with her. Finally having a friend, she had to be exceedingly good to him to keep him from leaving.
