Chapter 20: The affair sneaked into the house

Chen Dani looked at Liang Jinyu strangely: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly all of a sudden?"

Liang Jinyu paused for a moment, suppressed the panic and sadness in her heart, picked up the hoe and said, "It's nothing. If you don't want to, forget it."

If what Dani said was true, then it was understandable that she didn't want to leave with them.

Seeing that Liang Jinyu was depressed and even a little gloomy, Chen Dani couldn't help feeling a little sorry.

Although she knew they were cannon fodder, to be honest, this cannon fodder was not bad for her.

"Since you don't want to stay here, why don't you come with Chen and divorce my father?" Chen Dani asked curiously.

[Is it really that difficult to get a divorce in ancient times? If it were me, I would rather die than compromise! ]

Liang Jinyu calmed down and said, "Your father won't let me go easily."

"Why?" Chen Dani asked, "If you really want to leave, he can't stop you, right?"

Liang Jinyu shook her head. Dani was young and saw things too simply.

"We don't have a household registration certificate, so we can't go far. Besides, if I leave, where will your father find a wife who can pay for me? He's not stupid, he won't do such a loss-making business."

Chen Dani nodded in agreement: "That's true. If it were me, I wouldn't let go either."

Liang Jinyu turned around to look at her. Her young and thin face contained a maturity that was totally inconsistent with her age.

Maybe, she really is a book traveler.

Liang Jinyu thought about it and blurted out: "Actually, it's not completely impossible."

"You say." Chen Dani asked hurriedly, her black almond eyes bright and clear.

Liang Jinyu suddenly became curious about her background, what was her name, where did she live, how old was she, and what did her parents do.

But Liang Jinyu was aware that she would probably never ask these questions in her lifetime.

"Your grandma doesn't like me, and your father is a very filial person. If your grandma wants to divorce me, he might agree."

"That seems to be the case. That's not right. If my grandma doesn't like you, why did she allow you in in the first place?"

“Because of the money.”

"Ah?" Chen Dani blinked, not understanding.

Liang Jinyu smiled and said, "Well, if you do me a favor, I'll bring you some sweet preserves next time."

After a while, the snow started falling again.

When Wang woke up, she found the room was dark and her stomach was growling with hunger.

"Damn it, it's already dark and you didn't even bring me food. You want to starve me to death, right?" Wang was cursing and was about to shout for Dani to come in when she heard some murmuring coming from outside the window.

"He must be saying bad things about me behind my back again!" Wang thought bitterly and tiptoed to the window to eavesdrop.

"Don't tell anyone about this. If your father finds out, I will be kicked out." Liang Jinyu warned seriously.

Chen Dani asked: "Ah, why?"

"Because I lied to him. In fact, I have no money at all. Think about it, if I had so much money, how could I marry him?"

"Will you give me a little brother?"

"I do want to, but - hey, don't tell anyone this. I've had a physical illness since I was a child, and I can't have children. Fortunately, your father is stupid and good at deceiving, otherwise my sister and I would have starved to death on the street."

"My father is so pitiful."

"What's there to be pitied about? When your grandma dies, I will be the housekeeper. I will make sure that you and your father live a good life and eat meat every day. I will also let your uncle go to school. Anyway, your grandpa has money, so it's a waste if he doesn't spend it."

"That's great. Now that grandma is dead, we have meat to eat."

The two people outside were talking and laughing, while Wang inside was shaking with anger.

What a damn vicious woman! She actually dared to deceive them and cursed her to death!

No, we can’t keep this vicious woman!

Wang held on to the door frame so tightly that her nails were almost broken.

...

They were originally said to be back in two or three days, but unexpectedly Chen Lai Fu and Liang Ding Fang came back early the next morning.

At noon, Old Man Chen also came back.

They said it was because of a sudden heavy snowfall that the boss changed the plans.

After lunch, Wang couldn't wait to pull Chen Lai Fu into the house.

Liang Jinyu and Chen Dani looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I won't agree." Chen Lai Fu's voice came from the room.

Wang was furious that she didn't fight back, and gnashed her teeth, "You are stupid, she has nothing, she can't even give birth to a child, what else do you want her for?"

The voice was quite loud and Old Man Chen immediately looked up at Liang Jinyu.

Liang Jinyu lowered her head in shame, her shoulders trembling slightly as if she was sobbing.

"Impossible, mom, don't talk nonsense. Even if it's true, I will take her to see a doctor." Chen Lai Fu said very firmly, and then strode out of the room.

Old man Chen looked angry: "What's going on? Who can't have a baby?"

Liang Jinyu lowered her head and said nothing, which others saw as her tacit agreement.

Liang Dingfang looked at her in astonishment, opened his mouth to say something, but caught a glimpse of Chen Dani winking at him.

"Dad, Mom must have misunderstood." Chen Lai Fu said hurriedly, and looked at Liang Jinyu anxiously, hoping that the other party would say a few words.

Liang Jinyu still said nothing, and her shoulders shook even more violently.

Wang sneered arrogantly, "Hey, you are pretending to be dumb now. Weren't you very talkative yesterday? Didn't you say that you would be the housekeeper after I died? Didn't you say that you would use our Chen family's money to send your brother to school? Bah, you shameless scumbag, I heard everything you said!"

Liang Jinyu raised her head in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "No, I didn't say that. Mom, you must have heard me wrongly. How could I say that?"

"Are you still pretending in front of me?" Wang was very angry. She picked up a stick from the ground and was about to beat Liang Jinyu.

"Is Mrs. Liang home?"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Liang Jinyu thought the voice was somewhat familiar. She saw old man Chen's mouth twitch twice and immediately reacted.

It’s Chunniang.

Chunniang was still wearing the old jacket from that day, but she looked even more haggard, and her frail body seemed like it would fall down at the slightest breeze.

"Mrs. Liang, I came here today to thank you." Chunniang stood awkwardly at the door, her voice weak.

Liang Jinyu thought of Wang Erniu's incident and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small favor. You don't have to come all the way here."

Chunniang coughed twice and secretly looked at Old Man Chen behind Liang Jinyu. Seeing that he was not looking at her, she looked a little disappointed.

Liang Jinyu had already guessed that the two were having an affair, so as soon as Chunniang's eyes moved, she understood the other party's intention.

The purpose of looking for her to thank her was fake, the purpose of looking for old man Chen was real.

"Originally, I should have brought Erniu here to kowtow to you for such a great favor, but his sister Juan'er is sick again. I have no choice but to come by myself." Chunniang choked up and tears fell down her face.

Although Liang Jinyu knew that she had ulterior motives, she couldn't help but feel sympathy after hearing this: "Since the child is sick, you should go back as soon as possible. We are all villagers, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Oh." Chunniang wiped her tears, turned around and left. After taking two steps, she turned back and secretly glanced at Old Man Chen.

Old man Chen picked up the cup and coughed twice.
