Chapter 92 The Eavesdropper
Chu Xuan didn't think there was any misunderstanding here.
Who would run around everywhere right after a miscarriage, with a bruised face and nose? Aren't you ashamed?
"If you don't explain clearly, I'll tell Ji Ping and ask him to teach you a lesson."
"Don't worry." Sheng Damei was still a little afraid of Ji Ping. After all, that was his livelihood. "I'm telling the truth. I heard that Liu Dapeng went to the security team to prove that I fell on my own. I was just curious. I didn't see him that night. Where did he hide and see me? I really don't mean any other things. I'm not here to cause trouble."
Sheng Damei’s train of thought left Chu Xuan speechless.
Chu Xuan let go, and Sheng Damei returned to the ground.
After he stood firm, he quickly took a few steps back and said, "I won't disturb you. I'll come back and ask you another day."
At this moment, Liu Dapeng walked out of the courtyard gate and said, "When you fell, I was behind the big tree not far behind you."
Sheng Damei questioned, "Then why didn't you come out to save me when I shouted for help?"
Liu Dapeng wanted to say that it was because I heard you cursing Chu Xuan, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he made up an excuse, "Because I was afraid you would blame me!"
Sheng Damei put her hands on her hips and said, "Your family is so poor, are you afraid that I will rely on you? I'm afraid that your family has some connection with me!"
Chu Xuan looked around Liu Dapeng's house. The wall was crumbling, and the roof had several holes. If it rained, the house would definitely be flooded. If there was another typhoon...
Trying hard to recall his previous life, when the typhoon came, Liu Dapeng's house collapsed. Fortunately, no one was hurt, so he went to live in an idle house in the village office for a long time.
Chu Xuan planned to tell Grandpa Wang that before the typhoon arrives, the villagers should reinforce their houses or move out temporarily.
Liu Dapeng felt very inferior. "My family is indeed poor. Please leave and don't let the poverty get to you."
Sheng Damei stomped her feet vigorously, "Liu Dapeng, you can do it!"
Leave angrily.
Chu Xuan and Chu Feng looked at each other and felt that Sheng Damei was a little mentally abnormal.
But neither of them mentioned it.
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Dapeng, "My brother and I came here today to give you a thank you gift. Thank you for testifying for me."
Hand over the basket.
Liu Dapeng refused to take it and waved his hands repeatedly, "We're all from the same village, no need to thank me! Take all these good things back. And I have to thank you. If it weren't for you just now, Sheng Damei might not have made such a fuss."
"Maybe she just wanted to come over and ask you to help her solve her doubts." Chu Xuan winked at Chu Feng, indicating that he should put down the basket and leave.
Chu Feng nodded to show that he understood.
They both put the basket on the ground almost at the same time, turned around and ran away.
Chu Xuan ran while saying, "Liu Dapeng, if you dare to send it back to me, I will dare to throw it all away! If you don't mind wasting it, just send it back!"
Liu Dapeng looked helpless. He knew that Chu Xuan was a tough guy and would definitely do what he said.
I could only shout at the siblings' backs, "I'll take it. I'll bring you a basket another day!"
When I opened the floral cloth on top and saw the rice, flour, fat, pork, fruits, nutritional supplements, etc. inside, I couldn't help but wipe away my tears.
My family is so poor that we can barely afford to eat, this is really a timely relief.
Carrying two baskets, I walked into my mother's bedroom...
Chu Xuan asked her younger brother to go home first while she went to talk to Grandpa Wang...
At ten o'clock in the evening, Mu Chenze came to Chu Xuan's house pulling a cart.
By the way, I brought Chu Feng a brand new men's Dacron shirt, the kind without holes.
It was said to be a reward for mending clothes.
Chu Feng happily spun around in circles.
This time, Chu Xuan did not mention giving money to Mu Chenze.
If she wanted to give money, Mu Chenze would bring up the issue of giving dividends to Xiaofeng.
She had baked six meat buns in advance for Mu Chenze as a midnight snack.
Mu Chenze accepted it with a smile.
Pull up all the grilled fish fillets and get ready to go.
Chu Xuan whispered, "No one in the village has spread the news about the watch, or about us. But I'm sure someone eavesdropped last night. Who was it?"
Mu Chenze snapped his fingers, "Then I guess who it is."
"Who is it?"
"It should be Liu Dapeng. I'll ask him someday."
"Don't ask. It will save you the embarrassment."
"What's so embarrassing about that? Wasn't it embarrassing when he eavesdropped? Don't indulge his bad habits."
"Anyway, he helped me, so let's just let it go!"
"Okay."
Mu Chenze responded this way, but he didn't think so in his heart.
I must provoke Liu Dapeng again and make him give up completely, otherwise he will have to wander outside Chu Xuan's house late at night in the future.
Liu Dapeng may not want fame, but Chu Xuan’s reputation is a must!
At around six o'clock the next morning, Chu Xuan put on a blue short-sleeved fashionable sportswear and went out to exercise.
It attracted the attention of many villagers.
Everyone who saw Chu Xuan thought that she was thinner and prettier than before.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon spread throughout the entire fishing village.
After Chu Xuan returned home, drank the Chinese medicine and had a meal, he was busy.
Many young wives in the village came to Chu Xuan to ask where to buy sportswear.
Chu Xuan did not hide anything and told the truth: the tailor shop in the county town charges thirty yuan per set.
Many people are discouraged when they hear the price.
A few people also rushed to the county town to order sportswear.
By noon, no one came to ask about their meals anymore, so Chu Xuan and her brother started to make lunch.
Scrambled cucumber with black fungus and egg, millet porridge with red dates, and white flour steamed buns.
It was Chu Feng's first time eating wood ear mushrooms, and he was so greedy that his saliva started to water.
Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, Chu Zhi's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Chu Xuan, come out for a moment! Chu Xuan! I have something to talk to you about!"
Chu Feng frowned, "Why is that bear man here? Sister, don't go out! Let's eat! Such delicious food tastes better when it's hot."
Chu Xuan patted his shoulder lightly and said, "You eat first, I'll go out and take a look."
I guess Chu Zhi really has something to talk to her about.
When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw Chu Zhi standing outside the door in a proper manner.
The door was open, but Chu Zhi didn't go in directly. Was this a sign of improvement in politeness, or did he have something to ask for?
"Tell me! What do you want from me?"
Chu Zhi rubbed his hands together, feeling a little awkward. "Um... I just came here to discuss something with you. Could you please not tell anyone about my privacy?"
Chu Xuan was puzzled. "I didn't think I'd tell anyone about it, did I? Aren't you just trying to make something interesting?"
"No, no. Yesterday I took Pan Xiaoli for a pre-marital checkup, and she does have health problems and can't have children. My family asked to cancel the engagement, but the Pan family didn't agree. They also said they'd ask you about my family's situation, so I wanted to let you know in advance. If you help me keep this secret, I'll give you fifty yuan as a thank you. How about that? If you think it's too little, a hundred yuan is fine too."
After all, the betrothal gift is 2,000 yuan. As long as the Pan family can't find any evidence against him, they can return it all.
Who made Pan Xiaoli not only unable to have children but also not a good wife?
Chu Xuan immediately understood that Chu Zhi had not betrayed her. "Did you come to beg me on your own? Or did Feng Chunhua ask you to beg me? If she asked you to come, I don't agree!"
Chu Zhi blurted out, "I wanted to come here on my own, my mother doesn't know yet."
It is true that Chu Xuan hates Chu Zhi, but she is not opposed to making money from him!
"Two hundred yuan! Not a cent less!"
Chu Zhi's eyes widened in shock. "Two hundred yuan? You really dare to ask for that? I'll give you two hundred yuan, and you can promise not to reveal my secret for the rest of your life, or else I'll be struck by lightning and have no descendants."
