Chapter 1316: Thinking of His Own Stupidity, He Truly Wished He Could Just Die

Chen Weiping didn't expect to be caught red-handed; he hurriedly lowered his head. Now, even having his intestines turn green with regret couldn't describe his current mood. He truly had his eyes smeared with shit; how could he have chosen that whore Hu Liru back then?

Now that he had ended up in such a state, whether it was the neighbors or colleagues from his work unit, everyone pointed and whispered whenever they saw him, leaving him utterly despondent.

He never expected to meet his former fiancée, whom he had once despised, today. She had found an officer far superior to him to marry. Thinking of his own stupidity, he truly wished he could just die.

Only Chen Weidong, standing nearby, gave a slight nod when Fu Yan Cheng looked at him.

However, when Fu Yan Cheng turned his head, Liu Chuxue felt slightly uncomfortable and muttered, "Don't move."

Fu Yan Cheng quickly straightened his posture: "Okay, I won't move."

Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu were in good spirits today, so there was not a trace of sleepiness on the return trip.

Xiao Mu nudged Xiao Fu beside her with her elbow: "Did you see? Not a single one of those people who spoke coldly before dared to come near us today. From now on, they can only be envious. Let's see if they dare to mock us as having a fate of no heirs again."

Xiao Fu finally felt vindicated today, so his mood was naturally very good: "You're right. We've finally exhaled that pent-up anger in our hearts. Later, when I have leave, I'll take you all back to the village often."

Xiao Mu, feeling pained by the cost of the train tickets, coughed lightly and refused: "From now on, we just need to live well in the city. Why spend that wasted money? It would be more worthwhile to use that money to buy our son good food."

Xiao Fu was happy and didn't argue: "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Xia Qiu looked at the son in her arms, thinking of the reluctance between father and son earlier. She thought to herself: Save more money in the future. If we find a suitable job someday, we'll buy one for Qiu Shaofeng. Then we won't have to be separated in two places anymore; it's better for the son to have his father by his side.

Chun Xiao was in a good mood today too. The village aunts and ladies had said plenty of flattering words. Although she knew those people just wanted to fish for information from her, she still felt delighted inside. As for the peers in the village who had looked down on her before, weren't they envious that she could go to the city to live, study, and eat the rationed grain?

Anyway, on this trip, the vanity of the Xiao family was all satisfied.

As for after their family left the village, naturally, there was another round of discussion: "So what if they had a son? Doesn't every family have a son?"

"What are you saying? Their son was born with a city household registration. He gets rations without having to work in the fields. How can that be the same?"

"Didn't they say Shanliang—oh, no, I mean Xiao Changsheng? His biological father is a cadre. Why didn't he arrange a car for them? Could it be that they don't like his family?"

"Exactly. His son-in-law, who is an army officer, came back with them too. Every time he came to the village before, he arrived in a car. Today, on such a great occasion, he actually returned to the village on a bus with them. Don't you find that strange?"

"Could it be that they are getting worse and worse?"

The village head passed by and heard these discussions: "I think you are just full and bored. Changsheng was just returning to the village to take a look and invited the families he had interacted with and got along well to sit together and celebrate. Not taking a car back was because he didn't want to be showy. Look at what you're all saying?"

"Besides, the village's oil press was arranged by his son-in-law. He just helped the village, and you immediately started slandering him. If you envy them, just say it directly. You have to say all this nonsense just to satisfy your own mouths. I really don't know how your brains work."
