She seemed to have discovered some secret and wanted to go back and tell her mother-in-law.
When he arrived at Li Tong's house, Fu Qing didn't bother to see how much Chu Xuan's fish sold for, and just made up an excuse to leave.
Chu Xuan didn't think about it.
The fish products were of good quality and sold for a total of 226 yuan.
The money was settled on the spot.
Chu Xuan walked towards home...
At this moment, Fu Qing just entered the house.
"Mom! I'm back!"
Qin Mahua walked to the kitchen door with a spatula in her hand and asked, "Are there a lot of fish on the beach?"
"A lot! But they've almost all been snatched away. Liu Dapeng was almost swept away by the waves. No one is risking their lives to pick up the remaining worthless seafood."
"Is Liu Dapeng okay?"
"It's okay. Thanks to Xiaoxuan for bringing the life rope. There were also a few other people who worked together to rescue Liu Dapeng..."
Fu Qing recounted everything that happened today in detail, including Mu Chenze's testimony that Qi Hong stole the fish and provided clues about stealing the electrical wires.
After hearing this, Qin Mahua always felt something was wrong.
"Why do I feel like Xiaoze deliberately didn't stop Qi Hong from stealing the fish? And what about Qi Hong stealing the electrical wires? If Xiaoze were to behave like that, considering we're from the same village, he wouldn't have mentioned that."
Fu Qing feigned a mysterious smile. "That's what I was about to tell you. I speculate that Chen Ze provided the clue to help Xiao Xuan vent his anger. Also, last night, he must have secretly sent Xiao Xuan home without letting her know. Mom, don't you think Chen Ze really likes Xiao Xuan?"
Qin Mahua's expression was very calm. "He absolutely loves her! I knew it a long time ago. But what can I do if I really love her? Xiao Xuan refuses to marry him."
Since the eldest daughter-in-law has already guessed it, there is no need for her to continue hiding it.
Fu Qing was stunned. "Mom, you actually knew this a long time ago? When did you know?"
Qin Mahua sighed, "I found out before I took the initiative to go to Xiaoxuan's house."
"Chen Ze told you?"
“Yes and no.”
Fu Qing was completely bewildered by this. "Then what on earth is going on?"
Qin Mahua spoke frankly, "At that time, Xiaoze was catching up on his sleep at home during the day. He was talking in his sleep. He was saying something like, Chu Xuan, why do you despise me? I didn't even despise you for being fat. My first kiss is gone just like that, you have to take responsibility. In this life, your first man can only be me! My first woman can only be you! Otherwise, I can't get over it..."
Fu Qing covered her mouth and laughed, "I didn't expect Chen Ze to be so innocent."
Qin Mahua pretended to be angry. "Don't laugh! Hurry up and help Xiaoze find a way to marry Xiaoxuan."
As long as it is a girl that his son likes, Qin Mahua will support her no matter how fat or thin she is or what her family background is.
Fu Qing tried hard to suppress his laughter, "Mom, you went to Xiaoxuan's house to help so that you could gain Chenze's favor and get him a wife, right?"
Qin Mahua was a little embarrassed. "At first, I wanted to show off my fish-killing skills and let Xiaoxuan know that Xiaoze has a capable mother. Also, asking Xiaoze to give Xiaoxuan a ride to the city was to increase their chances of being alone together. Later, I really wanted to help her. After all, she's done our family a lot of great things and is our benefactor."
"Should we let Chen Ze know that we already know his secret?"
"We absolutely can't let him know. He's shy, and if we bring it up, he'll deny it outright and even exaggerate how he doesn't like Xiao Xuan. This guy says one thing and means another. We just need to help him quietly."
She did not realize that her son was still in a confused stage about love when he was awake.
Fu Qing thought hard, "How can I help?"
"Isn't this the task I assigned you just now? I can only think of one thing, and that is to be good to Xiaoxuan. Please help me think about it."
"Okay. I'll definitely think about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qinlao came over and asked casually, "What are you two talking about?"
Qin Mahua could guess without asking that he hadn't heard the conversation, "We were talking about cooking breakfast this afternoon."
Mu Qinlao smiled contentedly, "I should have lunch earlier. I had breakfast early today, so I'm hungry."
Fu Qing immediately understood what her mother-in-law meant. She didn’t need to tell her father-in-law about what they had just discussed.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, when the wind and rain subsided, someone knocked on the gate of Chu Xuan's house.
Chu Xuan went over to open the door holding an umbrella.
It was Mu Chenze, wearing a new army green raincoat, rain pants and rain boots.
"I just bought it from town. How is it? Doesn't it look good?"
Pointed at himself.
Chu Xuan responded openly, "It looks good. You're handsome, so you look good in anything."
Mu Chenze raised the corner of his mouth, "When you lose weight, I will give you one as a reward."
Chu Xuan held his forehead, the same thing again.
"You care more about my weight loss than I do."
Mu Chenze said what was in his heart, "Because I hope you live a long and healthy life."
"Yes! I will definitely lose weight successfully and live to be eighty or ninety!"
Chu Xuan was reborn with great difficulty, so naturally he had to live well and make up for all the years he missed in his previous life.
Mu Chenze's face showed a sunny smile, "That's great! You don't want to invite me in? I came here to give you money."
As he was about to enter, Chu Xuan stopped him, "Answer me a question first."
"What's the problem? Just ask."
"Did you follow me quietly until I entered the courtyard last night?"
After asking, Chu Xuan stared into Mu Chenze's eyes.
Mu Chenze felt a little uneasy when he was looked at, but he had nothing nice to say. "I saw you were trembling with fear, so I reluctantly and quietly sent you home. You said that with your weight, no one would dare to mess with you. You were so stubborn in front of me, but you are so timid. I can't imagine how you walked to the village entrance last night."
Chu Xuan was extremely embarrassed. He had seen her in such a state of disgrace. She hung her head and said, "Mu Chenze, don't mention this again!"
Mu Chenze agreed very readily, "Okay, I won't mention it. You still won't let me in? Do you really want to count the money at the door?"
Chu Xuan quickly adjusted her mood, turned embarrassment into a smile, and stepped aside to make way.
Deliberately joking, "Dear Mr. Mu, please come in!"
Let him tease her.
Especially the three words "Boss Mu", with a twist and a drawn-out tone.
Mu Chenze got goosebumps and stumbled. "Speak properly!"
Chu Xuan refused and continued in that tone, "Boss... Mu, please go sit in the kitchen!"
Mu Chenze guessed that this was a punishment for his outspokenness, so he quickly took out some money and stuffed it into Chu Xuan's hand. "Your share of yesterday's fishing expenses is six hundred yuan!"
Turn around and run.
I can't stay here any longer, or I'll be killed by that accent.
Chu Xuan quickly spoke in a normal voice, "I have something to ask you. I'll speak properly."
Chu Feng, hiding in the bedroom, covered his mouth and laughed secretly, and did not go out to disturb them.
Mu Chenze stopped, looked at Chu Xuan, pointed at her, and looked helpless, as if he couldn't do anything to her.
"Ask!"
I would rather stand outside in the rain than go into the kitchen.
"Haha..." Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He finally knew what he was most afraid of! If he took less dividends from now on, he would use this trick against him.
Mu Chenze was so confused by her laughter that he urged, "Chu Xuan, why don't you ask quickly!"
After Chu Xuan smiled, his face turned serious as he asked softly, "Is it worth it to offend Qi Hong and the Qiu family in order to help me? The Qiu family will never let go of their grudges, even after several years, they will still take revenge..."
