After hearing this, the onlookers who were pointing and talking suddenly understood.
"I was wondering why Cailian would borrow so much money from Butcher Zhu for no reason. Turns out it was for her younger brother."
"Could it be that her brother is dating someone?
So that's why you asked Cailian to borrow money to get married?"
“I haven’t heard of this.”
Some people also think:
"Do you think what Butcher Zhu said is true?
The Wu family deliberately wanted to cheat people out of money. They promised Butcher Zhu and accepted the betrothal money.
But now they turn around and deny it.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't believe it.
"That shouldn't be the case. What's Butcher Zhu's reputation?
Who among those around him who knows the situation would dare to marry him?
And I haven’t seen Cai Lian interact with him before.
But I know that Butcher Zhu has always had feelings for Cai Lian.
Could it be that Butcher Zhu is trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune this time?"
"That's hard to say. Everyone knows how hard it has been for Wu Cailian to take care of her brother and a child all these years.
Maybe he was attracted by Zhu the Butcher's good conditions.
He is an expert at slaughtering pigs in the slaughterhouse. The scraps he brings back every day are enough to make the Wu family jealous.
If she really followed Butcher Zhu, her life would be much easier."
Some people disagreed:
"You can't say that. If Cai Lian really wanted to find a man, she would have done it a long time ago. There's no need to wait until now. Her brother has grown up, has a formal job, and starts earning money.
She also occasionally does odd jobs.
Seeing that life is getting better day by day, there is no need to rush to find a man to rely on. "
"Tsk, what do you know? Although she hasn't found a man publicly in recent years, who knows if she has been with anyone privately.
Haven't you seen how gentle and charming she is usually?
Not to mention far away, just in our alley, there are several men whose eyes are glued to Wu Cailian.
Especially this Butcher Zhu, maybe they have been having an affair for a long time.
Otherwise, how could this happen today?"
Anyway, she just couldn't stand Wu Cailian's coquettish look. If she didn't have a man, shouldn't she just stay at home and not go out?
All he does all day is hang out with other girls.
Wu Cailian heard almost every word of these words.
She was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
But she didn't have time to argue with these people now, she just wanted to get rid of Butcher Zhu as soon as possible.
Seeing that Wu Wenjie didn't move, Wu Cailian raised her voice again.
"Brother, did you hear me? Return the money first.
Are you going to watch me being taken away?"
At this time, everyone's fire also shifted to Wu Wenjie.
"Comrade Xiao Wu usually seems like a nice person.
I didn't expect that this kind of person would appear at the critical moment.
He doesn't even care about his own sister's life or death."
“Who says it isn’t?
Judging from Cailian's words, the hundred yuan was lent to her brother.
Now that Butcher Zhu came to ask for the person back, he not only refused to pay the money.
He even refused to show his face.
Isn’t this too chilling? "
"That is to say, although I can't stand Wu Cailian, the foxy girl, I have to admit that I really have nothing to say about my brother.
He should be given education and training, otherwise how could he possibly get into a textile factory?"
"Hey, you don't know?
In fact, if Cai Lian didn't have this burdensome younger brother, she could still marry into a good family.
Everyone was interested in her, but Cai Lian refused for the sake of her younger brother.
Who would have thought that it would end up like this.
If I had known this would happen, I would have agreed to it."
“That’s too heartless!
Someone wanted me to help him find a marriage before, but with this kind of character, what's the point of asking for help?
Whoever follows him will be unlucky!
Just look at what happened to his sister now."
Everyone was talking about it, their tone full of accusations and contempt for Wu Wenjie.
Wu Wenjie's face flushed red after hearing this and he could no longer hide.
I could only walk out from behind the door in disappointment.
As soon as she saw Wu Wenjie, Wu Cailian's eyes immediately flashed with a strong light and she looked at him with anticipation.
"Brother, where's the money?
Take it out quickly."
“What money?
Sister, I have no idea what you are talking about?
Just now, I was so scared that I didn’t dare to come out because I heard you keep talking about a hundred dollars.
Did you really borrow a hundred dollars from Butcher Zhu?
Or is it true as Butcher Zhu said that the one hundred yuan was the betrothal money he gave you?
But no matter what, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?
I am now completely in the dark and don’t know what to do.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Cailian was stunned, and it took her a long time to react.
She stared at Wu Wenjie with wide eyes and said in disbelief:
“Little brother, what are you talking about?
Didn’t you ask me to borrow that money?
Or have you run out of it?"
"Sister, please stop asking.
I will definitely not admit to something I didn't do.
Anyway, I didn't ask you to borrow money, and I didn't see the money.
If you really took Butcher Zhu's money, return it to him immediately.
Otherwise, I can't help you, brother.
You know, my salary is all used to support the family, and I don’t have any money to save, let alone spend a hundred dollars.”
After saying this, Wu Wenjie didn't dare to look at Wu Cailian's shocked and disappointed eyes anymore, and looked away with a guilty conscience.
He had already given that money to Wu Dazhi as a deposit.
How can he take it out now?
Besides, there's no way he could take it out.
