Chapter 136: What Nonsense About Such Plain Truths

The accountant's daughter-in-law naturally knew what her own daughter had done before, but with so many people present, Liu's mother spoke out mercilessly, making her very angry: "She indeed should not have rashly commented on others' affairs, but the fact that Chuxue was abandoned is also true, isn't it?"

These words infuriated Liu's mother greatly. Just as she was preparing to argue, she heard Chuxue's voice: "Elder Aunt Quan, your words are incorrect. Chen Weiping and I only had a verbal engagement; no betrothal gifts were exchanged, and no marriage negotiations were held. How can there be any talk of being abandoned?"

"Furthermore, given the Chen family's character, I, Liu Chuxue, would not look upon them favorably. Even if they did not cancel the engagement, I would never agree. What 'fact' are you speaking of?"

The accountant's daughter-in-law did not know how to reply at that moment. She glared angrily at Chuxue, pulled her own daughter away in haste, and made a mental note against Chuxue and her mother.

It seems that having been the accountant's wife for too long, she has become arrogant.

The original book indeed wrote that after the Reform and Opening Up, the accountant's family gave their son a large sum of money to partner with a friend to buy the land of the county meat processing plant. Later, residential buildings were constructed on the back, and a shopping mall on the front, earning them a fortune.

Several generations of the family had been farmers facing the yellow earth with their backs turned to the sky. How could they produce such a large sum of money without some foul play involved?

She hoped the accountant would not, due to today's events, be blown into her ear by his wife to retaliate against her family; otherwise, she would definitely go to their door to investigate their background.

Seeing her return, Liu's mother hurriedly asked, "Why have you returned? Were you not going to the brick factory?"

"We met Ninth Uncle halfway. He happens to have free time these days. I came back to fetch the furniture drawings I drew earlier so we can work overtime to produce them these few days."

"Then go quickly. Your Ninth Uncle's carpentry work is the best in the ten villages around. I'm afraid people will come knocking again in just a few days."

With Fu Yan Cheng's help, everything went very smoothly. Because the commune had given a heads-up, the factory director at the brick factory was very enthusiastic and directly arranged for someone to help load the truck.

After lunch, Fu Yan Cheng did not rush to leave. He also helped Uncle Liangzi and the others transport the stored river sand and slaked lime to the homestead site. Only when there was nothing left to do did he depart.

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

After spending a day together, she felt this person was quite good. Since he had such good intentions, Chuxue did not have the heart to refuse.

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

On the Chen family side, however, a cloud of gloom prevailed. Elder Chen had been brought back home, but he was paralyzed on one side and would need care from now on.

After what happened to Chen Weiping, he was ultimately disliked by his colleagues. He felt everyone kept him at a distance, and no one was willing to partner with him, leaving him extremely depressed for a time.

Meanwhile, at home, Hu Liru, relying on her pregnancy, would frequently clash with her eldest sister-in-law, Miao Xiaohe. Her eldest brother could no longer bear it, called Chen Weiping to the backyard for a severe scolding, making Chen Weiping suffer greatly.

As for Chen Jiefang, although everyone respectfully called him 'Deputy Director Chen' when they saw him, behind his back they did not stop spreading idle gossip about him. He naturally sensed this, but what could he do?

He had relied on many connections but still could not get his wife, Yan Qingshuang, released. He could only let her fate be decided by heaven, and the family no longer enjoyed the glory of the past.

On the other side, Fu Yan Cheng, who had gone to return the car, was teased by his childhood friend: "You look like your heart is fluttering. Confess honestly, is something going on?"

"What nonsense are you speaking, stating such plain truths."

"Quick, quick, quick. What is going on? Tell your brother about it."

"It's not even a one in eight chance. What is there to tell you? No comment."

"Sigh, are we not brothers?"

"If you don't want to be my brother anymore, I have no objection. I've filled the car with gas. Here are the keys. Thanks."

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