Chen Shuning wasn't sure whether to call herself lucky or unlucky.
Her misfortune was that, having had a stable job and a prosperous life, she lost her life in a fire at a newly opened la...
Because both the size and the number of bamboo baskets seemed to have been designed specifically for her woodshed.
She looked at the neatly arranged bamboo baskets, which were squeezed right next to the firewood. The height of the first two rows was just right for her to reach.
What made Chen Shuning even more suspicious was that the person who delivered the items was not actually her older brother, but He Chaoyang, who had come to help her for a few days.
Of course, there was another reason why suspicion fell on He Chaoyang: the number of bamboo baskets was just right to fill her woodshed, and cleverly left out the space she had originally said she would store winter vegetables.
If it hadn't been seen with my own eyes and carefully planned, it wouldn't have been so perfectly timed.
The more Chen Shuning thought about it, the more convinced he became. He called Du Qianjin aside and stared at him with a serious expression until the young man's face turned red and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Then Chen Shuning suddenly asked, "Besides delivering coal, did Brother He instruct you to do anything else?"
Hearing Chen Shuning finally speak, Du Qianjin breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively replied, "He didn't say much. Brother Chaoyang just told me to deliver the coal and set it up for you, and also told me to be careful not to get burned when using that iron trough. Other than that..."
Looking at Chen Shuning's smiling face, Du Qianjin finally realized that he had been tricked into revealing information and had so easily betrayed Brother Chaoyang.
You know, when Brother Chaoyang called him, he repeatedly told him not to say that the gift was from him. Although he didn't know why Brother Chaoyang did this, out of his boundless admiration for He Chaoyang, Du Qianjin didn't even need to think about why. He just knew that doing what Brother Chaoyang told him to do was the right thing to do.
But who would have thought that this Comrade Chen was also cunning and actually cheated? Just now, he really thought that this educated youth Chen was looking at him like that because he was good-looking and had fallen for him. You know, this is the person that Brother Chaoyang has his eye on. How could he dare to have any thoughts about it?
So, he was so nervous that he was easily tricked into revealing information. How is he going to explain this to Brother Chaoyang?
