Back to the 80s: Pretending to Be in Debt to Escape Misery

In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...

174. Chapter 174 The Mu Family Arrives

Chu Zhi looked extremely embarrassed.

"Did you really see my father having sex with a widow? I went home and asked my father, but he denied it. Feng Shuai said that besides him, you were also passing by at the time."

Chu Xuan didn't expect Feng Shuai to be so efficient.

Chu Zhi's miserable appearance did make her happy, but she didn't show it.

Instead, he said seriously, "You come to ask me, aren't you afraid that I will deliberately say bad things about your father? I suggest you find the answer yourself. That widow is from Feng Shuai's village. But I suggest you don't go to their village, just wait and see in our village. Otherwise, the Pan family will not let you go. I heard that Pan Xiaoli's brother was beaten by you and is still unable to get out of bed. The Pan family has been looking for an opportunity to beat you up again."

When the Pan family was mentioned, Chu Zhi's face was filled with resentment. "I'm not afraid of them! Feng Shuai said he would protect me. Feng Shuai is the best fighter in his village."

"Whatever! Are you waiting for Feng Shuai?"

"Yes. He's going to hire a carriage, and it'll take me to his house. My sister-in-law will take care of me."

His sister-in-law is Feng Shuai's mother.

"Didn't your mother cut off ties with the Feng family? How can you have the nerve to let your aunt take care of you?"

"My mother was deceived by bad people. The city security team has already informed Feng Shuai by phone that my uncle Feng Ti was wrongly accused and did not steal my family's money. The money found at the time was deliberately framed."

"I see! Okay! Just wait. I'll go home."

Chu Xuan was about to leave on his bike when Chu Zhi stopped him again.

"Wait a minute, Chu Xuan, don't you hate my father? Do you want to come with me to catch my father and that widow in the act?"

Chu Xuan smiled calmly, "Your family and I have no connection at all. We don't interfere with each other. There's no love or hate involved. I'm not interested in what I'm saying."

He waved goodbye and rode away on his bike.

With Feng Shuai around, Chu Zhi's future will definitely not be easy.

This was what Chu Xuan was happy to see.

After returning home and putting down his bicycle, Chu Xuan realized that he had been thinking about other things on the way back and forgot to buy meat and vegetables.

It was around three in the afternoon, Xiaofeng was not at home, and school had not yet ended.

Chu Xuan went to the bathroom, washed his hands, and prepared to go back to the bedroom to lie down for a while.

Qin Mahua and Fu Qing came with gifts, and Gao Meijuan and Miao Dacui followed them in with smiles on their faces.

Come and spend the day.

That is, there were three engagement dates written on the red paper, and Chu Xuan was asked to choose one.

Chu Xuan invited them to sit inside.

After paying for the gifts, he put them all in the kitchen, washed his hands, and then walked into Chu Xuan's bedroom.

Chu Xuan made a cup of honey water for everyone.

Fu Qing looked happy and handed over the red paper with the date on it. Chu Xuan took it with a smile.

When I opened it, I saw that they were all days in November.

November 6th, November 8th, November 9th.

Qin Mahua also personally explained the meaning of these three days, "May your whole life be smooth, may your whole life be prosperous, and may your whole life be eternal."

The three dates were close together, and Chu Xuan could see that the Mu family wanted to arrange the engagement between Mu Chenze and her as soon as possible.

Handing it to Gao Meijuan, he said softly, "Grandma Gao, you usually treat me like your own grandma, please help me choose!"

Gao Meijuan was delighted. "Xiao Xuan, precisely because I treat you as my own granddaughter, I respect your wishes. Choose!"

Miao Dacui looked at Chu Xuan with encouragement, "That's right. As your family, we all support your decision. Your Grandpa Wang didn't come because he was busy at the food factory, and he respects your wishes."

Chu Xuan felt warm inside and nodded to them before looking at Qin Mahua. "Aunt Qin, I choose forever and ever."

Qin Mahua knew that Chu Xuan, as a girl, was rather reserved and would choose the last day. Fortunately, it was only a few days away.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You and Xiaoze will be engaged on November 9th. As for the wedding date, Xiaoxuan, you can choose it too."

He gestured to Fu Qing, indicating that she should hand over another piece of red paper.

Chu Xuan hopes that her mother can be present when the wedding date is set.

So he stopped Fu Qing and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious."

Then he stepped forward and held Qin Mahua's hand. "Auntie, to be honest, my mother should be able to return to the village next month. Can you and my mother decide in person then? She had her own reasons for leaving back then."

Normally, Tian Xiaoyun abandoned Chu Xuan and her brother and sister back then, so no one would say anything if Chu Xuan made her own decision about engagement and marriage. However, Chu Xuan still wanted to leave the decision of the wedding date to Tian Xiaoyun.

It would be great if Tian Xiaoyun was willing to stay and arrange her marriage.

Gao Meijuan couldn't hold back her tears when she mentioned Tian Xiaoyun. "Xiao Xuan is right. Xiaoyun did have her own reasons for leaving back then. I asked her about it over the phone, and she said she would tell me everything when she came back."

Qin Mahua gently squeezed Chu Xuan's palm, "Okay! I firmly believe that anyone who has lived under Feng Chunhua's control must have their own reasons for leaving."

Fu Qing also expressed understanding.

They chatted for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Qin Mahua told Chu Xuan to bring Xiaofeng to her house for dinner in the evening.

Gao Meijuan and her family will also go there at that time.

Let’s celebrate the day we get engaged today.

Chu Xuan naturally agreed.

After seeing them off, Chu Xuan checked the gifts sent from Aunt Qin's family one by one.

There are six items in total.

Two bags of wedding candy, six pounds of pork, two boxes of tea, two bags of wedding cakes, two live mandarin fish, and two live chickens, one male and one female.

Chu Xuan put the chickens into a large basket and planned to raise them.

Put the mandarin fish in a wooden basin filled with water and keep it for as many days as possible.

She divided the pork into three portions, one pound, two pounds, and three pounds respectively.

She would save a pound of pork, chop it into minced meat in the evening, and make wontons with it tomorrow morning. She and her younger brother would eat some of it, and send the rest to Mu Chenze's house.

Also keep a portion of the wedding cakes and candies.

The three-pound piece of pork was sent to Liu Zhaodi's home. Mou Xing had been discharged from the hospital, and Chu Xuan planned to go see her.

The remaining pork, wedding cakes and wedding candies were sent to Grandma Gao's home.

He locked the courtyard gate, put three pounds of pork into a bamboo basket, covered it with a piece of flowered cloth, and walked towards Liu Zhaodi's house.

When I arrived at Liu's house, I met Mou Xing.

Mou Xing looks good and is a little fatter than before the operation.

Liu Zhaodi is not at home. She is working at the food factory.

Erleng and Sanleng went to school, leaving Mou Xing alone at home.

Mou Xing took out various fried meatballs she had made to treat Chu Xuan.

There are sweet potato balls, potato balls, vegetable balls and so on.

After tasting it, Chu Xuan felt that it tasted good and suggested that she go to the town or the county market to buy various meatballs.

Mou Xing understood immediately and was very grateful.

When Chu Xuan said goodbye, she specially served her a large bowl of meatballs and put it in a bamboo basket.

Chu Xuan couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

Mou Xing's family was short of money, and Chu Xuan taking away this big bowl of meatballs was equivalent to letting Mou Xing's family skip a meal, which was unbearable.

Before leaving, Chu Xuan forced five dollars on Mou Xing so that she could replenish her nutrition, and hurried away with the basket.

Afraid that Mou Xing would catch up and give him money.

Mou Xing looked at Chu Xuan's back and couldn't help wiping away tears of emotion.

After Chu Xuan returned home, he put down the big bowl of meatballs, put the wedding cakes, candies and the two-pound piece of pork into the bamboo basket, and walked towards Gao Meijuan's house.

Before I even got there, a strange man called out to me, "Excuse me, how do I get to Mou Xing's house?"

Chu Xuan looked at the man, who was in his thirties. She had never seen him before in her previous life and didn't know if he was a good guy or a bad guy. "Who are you to her family? What's your name?"

It is not easy for a widow like Mou Xing to raise three children. She must ask clearly before taking them away.
