Chapter 8 What passbook? Isn’t there always no money at home?

Zhao Chengyan didn't care about the quarrel between the two. He stepped forward again, grabbed Gu Wanxing's shoulders and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you see him?"

In fact, he still had some hope, thinking that the woman in front of him might have deliberately hidden herself.

In that case, at least it's still there, right?

Gu Wanxing felt pain in her shoulder from being pinched by him, and she tried hard to shake off Zhao Chengyan, but she was so weak from the fever that the little strength she had didn't make the almost crazy man let go.

"Let go! Zhao Chengyan, you're hurting me!"

Her struggle loosened the man's grip a little.

But still refused to give up.

"Did you take it or not? Do you know that's all our family savings?"

"How ridiculous! I didn't even know our family had money. Zhao Chengyan, you're really great. You only let me know when you lent money to outsiders. Did you keep me in the dark about our family being rich just because I wasn't home today?"

"Nonsense, Yue Rou is not an outsider."

Zhao Chengyan's eyes were bloodshot as he continued to rummage through the drawers looking for his passbook.

That was his entire fortune. If it was gone, he would really have nothing left.

Several years' salary, and the money he earned from risking his life to tinker with steel, were lost, and he couldn't even report it to the police. How could he not be anxious?

"Heh...Gu Yuerou isn't an outsider, so I am? Why would you two get together? You have nothing in common, but you're actually in a relationship?"

Gu Wanxing smiled bitterly and sarcastically, not knowing whether she was laughing at Zhao Chengyan, the scumbag who jumped up and down, or at herself who had tried her best for this family in her previous life.

"Everyone I know borrows money from my man without asking me for help. My man would rather lend it to other women without letting me know. It's a joke."

Gu Wanxing deliberately muttered these trivial things in a distraught manner, trying to make herself look like she really couldn't bear her husband's betrayal.

"No, Wanxing, I only mentioned it when I ran into Ah Yan."

"Mom. Isn't that Uncle Zhao you're looking for? You didn't just meet him."

Qian Xudong looked at the somewhat out-of-control situation and felt a little confused. After all, he was just a five-year-old kid and couldn't understand the deeper meaning, but sometimes he really couldn't lie.

The truth came out unconsciously.

Gu Yuerou hurriedly went over to cover her son's mouth, but she had already said the words, and this action seemed like covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

"Zhao Chengyan, you heard it, right? You guys really make me sick."

Gu Wanxing glanced out the window and saw Liu Xifeng and Zhao Chengfang carrying Zhao Chao into the yard. She pretended to be sad and ran out.

Make a fuss. This matter must be made big.

Zhao Chengyan was so busy looking for money that he had no time to care about Gu Wanxing, so Gu Yuerou at the door didn't stop her.

"Wanxing, listen to me, it's not like that at all."

After Gu Yuerou chased out, she saw Zhao Chengyan's mother and sister standing in the yard. She stopped in her tracks, looking a little timid.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Aunt, are you back?"

When Liu Xifeng saw Gu Yuerou and was about to scold Gu Wanxing, she immediately changed her tone:

"What's going on? Why is she here?"

Although she didn't like her daughter-in-law, she disliked Gu Yuerou, who abandoned her son, even more. She was a slut who was always eating from her bowl and looking at the pot, and she was seducing her son into a trance.

"Mom, Cheng Yan said he wanted to lend her money. Oh my god, I didn't even know our family had money!"

Gu Wanxing seemed to have found a savior. She hid behind Liu Xifeng and Zhao Chengfang, covering her face and crying.

Zhao Chengfang frowned. Was her brother crazy? He brought this woman back and wanted to lend her money.

Thinking of borrowing money, she lowered her eyes guiltily. Gu Wanxing asked her to borrow money, but she didn't lend it to him. However, the money for Zhao Chao's injection just now was taken from Gu Wanxing's pocket by her. It was the money she borrowed. After the injection, she had two dollars left, so she and her mother bought meat buns.

"No, auntie, please listen to me." Gu Yuerou tried to explain.

"I won't listen. Get out of here now. Don't even think about hooking up with my son again. Believe it or not, I'll tear you apart."

Liu Xifeng's voice was loud, and Gu Wanxing deliberately cried very loudly, so the neighbors soon gathered at the door of the Zhao family.

The villagers were idle at this time. The child of Old Zhao's family fell into the water and almost drowned that morning. Just a few hours later, they started making jokes about them again. Who wouldn't watch the fun?

But I didn't understand what was happening right now.

However, Gu Wanxing didn't let them stay confused for too long.

"Mom, Chengyan doesn't want to live with me anymore. When did they start hooking up? Chengyan said she's not an outsider, but I am. Woohoo... Mom, tell me, since I married into this family, my salary has been used to supplement the family expenses, right? In the past five years, Chengyan hasn't given me a penny. I thought he would save his salary and leave it as a reserve fund for the family."

"I didn't expect it. It turned out to be saved for another woman. This morning, I borrowed money everywhere for Zhao Chao. Mom, you didn't even give me ten yuan, and Zhao Chengyan didn't give me either. I still had to borrow it from Aunt Meihua! Isn't it ridiculous? When I borrowed the money, my husband agreed to lend another woman a large sum of money... and I didn't even know about it. Isn't this bullying?"

Gu Wanxing's crying was ups and downs, her tone was weird, and her articulation was extremely clear. Although her voice was not loud, everyone at the door could hear it clearly.

Liu Xifeng felt that there was something wrong with what Gu Wanxing said and wanted to refute it, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was. She opened her mouth but had nothing to say.

Gu Wanxing is determined to make a big fuss today. Once the news gets out, everything will be easy.

She had been working on the assembly line for five years during her marriage, even when she was pregnant with Zhao Chao. How could she face this calmly?

Even if I die and start over again, I can't get over the hurdle in my heart. The grievance is real, so these tears are also somewhat of a true expression of my true feelings.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar at the door.

"Emma, ​​Cheng Yan is having an affair with the daughter of Old Third Gu?"

"No, tsk tsk, I've never seen anything like this before."

"Just now I saw her bringing her child here, and I thought she was here to look for Wanxing."

"Yes, Wanxing rescued the child this morning and she choked on the water. We thought she was here to see her sisters. Tsk!"

"Don't judge a person by appearance. She's just like her mother, flirting with other women. Otherwise, how could she have married into the city?"

Gujia Village is adjacent to Zhaowangtun and not far away, so almost everything big and small happening in the village over there is known here, and everyone here knows each other.

When Gu Yuerou married into the city, she was often gossiped about. Those who had daughters were all jealous and wanted their daughters to marry into the city.

So there was a lot of criticism back then, and the main reason was that Gu Yuerou's mother had once been caught sneaking into a cornfield with someone.

When Gu Yuerou heard the noises at the door, her face turned darker and darker. But even if she left now, people would still laugh at her. It would be better to get the money first.

She felt from the beginning to the end that Zhao Chengyan lied to avoid lending her the money.

Anything missing is just an excuse. How could the money at home be missing?

But she had her own way to make Zhao Chengyan spit it out.
