Chapter 133: Why are you telling the truth so bluntly?

The accountant’s wife naturally knew what her daughter had done before, but she was very angry that Liu Mu had said it without mercy in front of so many people: "She shouldn't have commented on other people’s affairs, but it is a fact that Chuxue was abandoned, isn't it?"

This made Liu Mu furious, and just as she was about to argue, she heard Chuxue’s voice: "Auntie Quanwen, that’s not right. Chen Weiping and I only had a verbal engagement. No gifts were exchanged, and no marriage was discussed, so where does this 'abandoned' talk come from?"

"Besides, with the Chen family’s character, I, Liu Chuxue, wouldn't look at them either. Even if they didn't break off the engagement, I wouldn't have agreed. What facts are you talking about?"

The accountant’s wife didn't know how to respond for a moment. She glared at Chuxue in anger, pulled her daughter away in a hurry, and kept a grudge against the mother and daughter in her heart.

It seems she had been the accountant’s wife for too long and was getting carried away.

The original novel had written that after the reform and opening up, the accountant’s family took a large sum of money for their son and partnered with friends to buy the land of the county meat processing plant. Later, they built commercial buildings in the back and a shopping mall in the front, making a fortune.

A family that had been farmers facing the yellow earth and backing the sky for generations—how could they have such a large sum of money without something fishy going on?

Hopefully, the accountant wouldn't take revenge on her family because of what happened today, influenced by pillow talk. Otherwise, she would definitely go to his house to investigate his background.

Seeing her return, Liu Mu asked hurriedly: "Why are you back? Didn't you go to the brick factory?"

"We ran into Uncle Jiu halfway. He happens to have time these few days, so I came back to get the furniture drawings I had already made, to get them done during these few days."

"Then go quickly. Your Uncle Jiu’s carpentry is the best in the ten miles and eight villages; I’m afraid someone else will come to him in a few days."

With Fu Yancheng’s help, things went very smoothly. Because the commune had been notified, the brick factory manager was very enthusiastic and directly had people help load the truck.

After lunch, Fu Yancheng didn't rush to leave. He helped Uncle Liangzi and the others pull the river sand and slaked lime to the building site, and only left after seeing there was nothing else to do.

Before leaving, he left his contact number and address for Chuxue: "If you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can contact me."

After spending the day together, she felt this person was quite good. Since he was so kind, Chuxue didn't have the heart to refuse.

On the Liu family’s side, the house construction was in full swing.

On the Chen family’s side, it was a scene of gloom. Master Chen had been brought home, but he was hemiplegic and would need someone to take care of him from now on.

Chen Weiping, after what happened, was still shunned by his colleagues. He felt everyone was keeping him at a distance, and no one wanted to work with him, which made him feel extremely depressed for a time.

At home, Hu Liru, relying on her pregnancy, would clash with her sister-in-law Miao Xiaohe from time to time. The eldest brother couldn't bear it anymore and called Chen Weiping to the backyard for a good lecture, leaving Chen Weiping in misery.

As for Chen Jiefang, although everyone respectfully called him "Deputy Director Chen" to his face, there was no shortage of gossip behind his back. He was naturally aware of it, but what could he do?

He had pulled many strings but still couldn't get his wife, Yan Qingshuang, released, so he had to let her face her fate. The family no longer had its former glory.

On the other side, Fu Yancheng, who went to return the truck, was teased by his childhood friend: "You kid, with that spring-like look, be honest, is there something going on?"

"Why are you telling the truth so bluntly?"

"Quick, quick, what’s the situation? Tell your brother here."

"Nothing is set in stone yet, what do you want me to tell you? No comment."

"Sigh, are we still brothers?"

"I don't have an opinion if you don't want to be. I’ve filled the tank, here are the keys, thanks."

"Sigh, don't go yet, at least reveal a little bit."
