Chapter 31 Chunniang commits suicide
Chen Dani leaned against the opposite wall with her arms folded, smiling shyly.
Liang Jinyu walked over quickly and asked angrily, "What did you see?"
"To be honest, that man is indeed taller and more powerful than my father, and he has good taste!" Chen Dani raised her thumb in affirmation.
Liang Jinyu reacted, flicked her forehead, and said unhappily: "What are you thinking, little kid? That man is Li Zheng from Liuhe Manor. I just met him yesterday."
Chen Dani rubbed her forehead and muttered, "What's wrong with Li Zheng? He's also a man, isn't there anything wrong with that?"
"You still have something to say?" Liang Jinyu frowned.
Chen Dani pouted, hummed and said nothing.
...
"Sir, please come in." The waiter ran over to greet him enthusiastically.
Xiang Linchuan ignored him and went straight up to the second floor.
"Guess what I saw?"
Pushing open the door, Xiang Linchuan couldn't wait to go in and speak.
"Beauty?" Yan Xing replied, and spun the folding fan in his hand lightly and tapped it on the table.
Xiang Linchuan shook his head: "I can't remember, but I think she looked pretty good."
Yan Xing sighed twice, a trace of worry flashing across his affectionate brows: "Your illness is getting worse."
"If it wasn't serious I wouldn't go to such lengths to find you. By the way, I almost forgot what I was going to say." Xiang Linchuan strode to the table and sat down, pouring himself a cup of hot tea and drinking it in one gulp.
Seeing him chewing peony as roughly as an ox, Yan Xing clicked his tongue twice, feeling sorry for wasting such excellent snow bud tea.
Xiang Linchuan wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "It seems your old house has been rented out."
Yan Xing's eyes tightened and his voice sank slightly: "Oh? Who is so brave?"
Xiang Linchuan tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember what the other person looked like: "It was a woman, her last name was Liang."
"That's not right. Didn't you say before that the eldest son of the Xie family wanted to rent it? Why doesn't he rent it anymore?" Xiang Linchuan asked.
Yan Xing sighed and rubbed the handle of the fan with his fingers: "He is an old friend of mine after all, and my house - tsk, anyway, I don't want to harm him."
Xiang Linchuan sneered disdainfully: "They do business out of superstition. If there really were ghosts in this world, I would have been haunted by hundreds of ghosts long ago."
Yan Xing put down his fan and took out a three-layered sandalwood box from under the table.
"He doesn't mind, but I don't want to cause him any trouble. He's not having a good time right now. Forget it, go and take off your clothes."
"No way, he is the eldest son of the Xie family in Jiangyin. Even if he sneezes, Da Zhou will tremble three times. Hiss, be gentle with me, you dog."
...
The sun sets in the west, and crows fly around the branches.
On the way home, Chen Lai Fu asked Chen Dani what Liang Jinyu had done today.
Chen Dani proudly took out the six coins that she had warmed in her arms and said, "We went to sell purses, but unfortunately the boss was a stingy guy and refused to give us more money. By the way, we also ate noodles, made buns, and visited many places..."
"Who asked you these questions? I was asking you if she had met anyone? Especially a man!" Chen Lai Fu interrupted impatiently.
Chen Dani pretended to think about it, then shook her head affirmatively after a while: "No, why? Is she going to see another man?"
Chen Lai Fu breathed a sigh of relief. Children would not lie. Besides, Dani was his own daughter, so it was impossible for her to lie to him.
"I'll keep this money for you." Chen Lai Fu took the six cents from Chen Dani without any hesitation.
[I'm so mad. I shouldn't have taken it out earlier. ]
Chen Dani beat her chest and stamped her feet, secretly vowing to find a chance to steal her money back.
The Liang siblings walked in front.
Liang Dingfang looked back and asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
Liang Jinyu was now worried about tomorrow's affairs. Hearing this, she said perfunctorily, "I'll tell you later. Let me think about it first."
Liang Dingfang felt resentful and grumbled, "Who is your family member? You would rather tell her than me."
Liang Jinyu was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be the case.
"She is young and always by my side, even though you are not at home," Liang Jinyu explained in a flattering manner.
In fact, she understood that the real reason was that Chen Dani was a so-called book traveler, an "alien" like her. In addition, she could hear Dani's thoughts at any time, so she subconsciously let her guard down against her.
This statement obviously did not convince Liang Dingfang. He pursed his lips, unable to hide his emotions on his young face. He was very unhappy.
"Actually I'm -"
"Boss Chen, you are finally back!"
Someone shouted loudly in the distance, interrupting what Liang Jinyu was about to say.
"Hurry up and go to the village chief's house, your father is fighting with the village chief!" the other party shouted anxiously.
"What?" Chen Lai Fu was startled, his face changed drastically, and he ran towards the village.
Liang Jinyu and a few others followed closely, and met several villagers along the way, and vaguely understood what was going on.
It’s because of Chunniang!
Since Chunniang and Chen Laifu both agreed to the marriage, Wang went to find the village chief as soon as Liang Jinyu and the others left today.
Chunniang's husband is called Wang Tiande, and the village chief Wang Heli is his uncle. When Wang Tiande was still alive, the two families had a good relationship.
Later, Wang Tiande got into trouble, and the village chief cut off all contact with him for fear of being implicated.
No matter how hard Chunniang's life was in raising her two children these years, the village chief never helped her. But now Chunniang wants to remarry, she must get the village chief's permission.
It doesn't make sense, but that's the rule in the village and no one can do anything about it.
What's more, there are two children. If the Chen family doesn't want them, then they can only be handed over to the village chief.
"Boss Chen has become successful. He even has a concubine." Someone joked.
Chen Lai Fu lowered his head, not daring to respond, and walked faster.
"Mrs. Liang, do you know about this?"
"Of course I don't know. She's about to get married. But there's nothing I can do. Who can stop her from having children?"
Listening to the discussions of the villagers on the roadside, Liang Jinyu also followed Chen Laifu's example and acted like a quail, just walking with his head down.
After finally reaching the door of the village chief's house, I suddenly heard someone screaming inside: "Stop her!"
Liang Jinyu looked up and saw the crowd getting agitated. Then Chunniang ran out from the crowd and crashed into the locust tree at the intersection with a bang.
"Oh, God, what sin has our Chen family committed? Wang Heli, Wang Heli, you forced Chunniang to death, and I will not live either." Wang wailed, pushed the villagers aside and ran out.
But if the one moves slowly, even if it hits a tree, it probably won't lose any bark.
Liang Jinyu trotted over and saw Chunniang collapsed powerlessly under the tree.
She had already been injured on the forehead, and now her face was covered in blood. She looked horrible, and even when others called her, she did not respond.
"Oh my god, he's not really dead, is he?" someone whispered.
Immediately afterwards, Wang also rushed over, bumped into the tree, and then fell to the ground with a cry of "ouch".
"Mom, mom, how are you? Don't scare me." Chen Lai Fu picked up Wang, crying heartbrokenly.
Everyone gathered around with concern, fearing that something had happened to Wang, and someone even suggested calling a doctor.
As for Chunniang, she just lay there with her eyes rolled back, and no one dared to touch her.
