Chapter 160: 160 Why are you so sharp?

160 Why are you so sharp?

You also want to go back with me?

Tushan Jiu looked at Xie Shiyu in surprise.

Just then, after she had blown his hair dry, he said he had something to take care of and went to the study.

I didn't expect that in just half an hour, he would knock on the door again and come in to tell her that he also wanted to go to Yun Shi with her.

But he's been so busy lately; where would he find the time?

Seeing her bewildered look, Xie Shiyu smiled and explained: "Even if I'm busy for a few more days, I can still squeeze out the time; besides, remote meetings can still be held as usual. Don't worry, my dad is still here."

Tushan Jiu still wanted to say something, but Xie Shiyu then said: "I want to go pay respects to Jiu Jiu's family."

Upon hearing that, Tushan Jiu said nothing more.

She curled the corners of her mouth and said: "Okay, then bring some more clothes; the weather in Yun Shi has turned cool, with a big temperature difference between morning and night."

Xie Shiyu pinched her earlobe and said: "That night, when I'm packing my luggage, you can stand by and help me watch over things."

"Okay." Tushan Jiu readily agreed.

After breakfast, Xie Shiyu still had to go to the company to arrange some work.

Tushan Jiu, meanwhile, went to Xicheng District.

That day, the prophecy of the man who got into a fight has already come true; she needs to go collect a debt.

Inside the square of the Xuefu Xinyuan Community in Xicheng District.

Jia Bing was pushing a stroller with his wife outside, taking a walk.

Compared with many women in the community who were pushing strollers alone, this formed a stark contrast.

Several women cast envious glances at Jia Bing's wife.

As for Jia Bing's wife, she felt helpless.

They envied her, and she envied them as well.

After that incident a while ago, her husband quit his job outright and prepared to stay home with her to take care of the child.

She asked him, "If you're not working, what will we eat and drink?"

As a result, her husband said he would figure out a freelance job that could be done from home.

At that moment she was speechless, and didn't know whether his being so family-oriented was good or bad.

In fact, she knew deep down that he still dwelled on that incident from a while ago.

But he didn't mention it, and neither did she.

As for whether she herself had done those messy things, she knew better than anyone.

She and her husband were each other's first love; she has only ever been with this one man.

So when she saw her husband agonizing, she also went down a rabbit hole, thinking that if he dared not to trust her and demand a paternity test, she would divorce him.

But while she was obsessing over that, she also wondered, "How can this child not resemble anyone at all?"

Afterwards, whether online or at the hospital, she ran around a lot.

But they all said that, from a genetic standpoint, it's impossible for the child to resemble no one; there will always be some similarity with the immediate family.

In fact, seeing her husband act nervous every day, she had thought about getting a paternity test, but lately she just hasn't found the time.

However, these past few days she discovered that after her husband went back to his parents' house and returned, his whole demeanor reverted to how it was before.

He also took out all the private money he had secretly hidden, bought her a big gold bracelet, and apologized profusely, saying he shouldn't have doubted their marital feelings during that time, and so on.

This sudden change, given her understanding of him, made her feel that he was hiding something.

The child in the stroller was getting a bit sleepy; it was time to go back to feed and lull him to sleep.

Jia Bing said: "Wife, let's head back; it's starting to get windy."

"Mm, okay, let's go. First turn on the home air conditioning; it's been cold these days, don't let Xiao Bao get chilled."

Jia Bing pulled out his phone with one hand and pushed the stroller with the other, saying, "Sure thing, I'll turn it on now."

Their steps were faster than when they had come.

But just as they reached the unit entrance, seeing a girl standing at the door, Jia Bing froze, his eyes widening instantly.

His wife Li Jingjing turned her head and asked him: "What's wrong, husband?"

Tushan Jiu heard the commotion and turned to look at them.

Jia Bing's surprise was only momentary; he quickly recalled what his mother had said: since the knife-debt person had given him a knife on credit, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, they could still find him.

That's right, his mother said she had seen the knife-debt person when she was young.

The knife-debt person had given knives on credit in their village.

So his mother asked him why he was so certain his father wasn't his biological father, and he replied that he had encountered the knife-debt person, who had given him a knife on credit.

Thus his mother stopped hiding anything and confessed to him the foolish mistake she had made back then.

Moreover, his mother told him that his father knew about this.

Because his father was fundamentally unable to have children!

That's why, all these years, his father raised him as if he were his own biological son.

Originally they had intended to keep it concealed forever.

After all, back then his mother and father had been keeping it secret from his grandparents as well.

But no one expected that, after his child was born, the child would actually inherit in full the genes of his so-called 'biological father' from back then.

And it was only because he encountered the knife-debt person again that this matter was dug up once more.

His mother also said she didn't want to lose her good mother-in-law image in front of his wife, so she wanted him to know this himself and not tell his wife.

They also feared that if it got out to the in-laws, it would cause embarrassment and become a laughingstock.

They all came from the same village.

In the village, once this kind of thing comes up, it can't be hidden.

When they return to their hometown, they will never be able to hold their heads up again.

After hearing what his mother said, Jia Bing immediately started arguing with her.

They weren't unaware of his condition; they actually kept it hidden.

Selfishly, for the sake of his own face, it caused a rift between him and his wife.

If this continues like that, he'll be nervous every day, and who knows what serious trouble might break out!

But later, what's the point of arguing again?

As the person caught in the middle, with his mother on one side and his lover on the other, he didn't know what to do.

In the end, he still chose to uphold their dignity under his mother's pleas and his own desperation.

Then he took out part of his private savings and bought his wife a large gold bracelet as compensation.

But whenever his wife looked at him doubtfully, he still felt guilty for hiding things from her, as if he didn't treat her as family.

So these past few days, he hasn't been doing well either.

Nowadays, the reappearance of the debt collector actually let him breathe a sigh of relief.

Aren't all the problems solved now?

When the debt collector comes to collect, his wife will surely ask what debt she owes.

Then the debt collector will surely explain.

Then that wouldn't be coming from his mouth.

Jia Bing was secretly pleased with his own cleverness.

Then, the next second, Tushan Jiu let out a scoff and said, 'Do you have nothing but scheming? How are you so sharp? The fee is sixty-three thousand four hundred twenty-three yuan and seven tenths, in cash.'

Jia Bing was dazed: 'What?'

His wife was dazed too.

Who is this girl?

Why demand money from her husband, and in such exact cash?
