Liu Xiu was not a good person either. She was not willing to suffer any loss, so she started to fight with Old Lady Xia. In the end, Liu Xiu was beaten by Xia Jianguo again. When Liu Xiu was being beaten, his two good sons just watched the show and did not go to help.
I don’t know if Liu Xiu regretted it when she was beaten, or if she thought about how good Xia Jin was to her.
My face was covered with bruises, which hadn't gone away for several days after the Chinese New Year. No one at home was happy because of what happened.
However, despite being unhappy, he still cheered himself up to cook, entertain relatives, and tried his best to act like his family was living a good life. Every time a visitor saw the injuries on Liu Xiu's face, they would ask about it. Liu Xiu didn't dare to say that he was beaten, and laughed it off, saying that he fell.
As for whether anyone believed it or not, I don’t know, but that summer Qingqing’s family lived a gloomy and chaotic life.
Several families came to Xia Jin's place to pay New Year's greetings this morning. The Liang family, the Ye family, the Li family, and the younger generations of the Fu family all came to pay their New Year's greetings. After paying their New Year's greetings, Fu Shen sat down next to Xia Jin warmly and interrupted the conversation between Xia Jin and Zhu Weiwei.
It just so happened that Xia Jin had had enough of chatting. It was too tiring to pretend to be serious in front of such a person, who was also keen on digging holes for herself. Xia Jin had to be vigilant at all times when chatting with her.
After Fu Shen separated Xia Jin and Zhu Weiwei, he put his hand on Xia Jin's shoulder. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Jingmo dropped his hand from Xia Jin's shoulder. Fu Shen glanced at Gu Jingmo's expression and tactfully did not put his hand back on Xia Jin's shoulder.
Fu Shen was chatting excitedly with Xia Jin, and completely forgot about Zhu Weiwei who was standing beside him. Zhu Weiwei was so angry that she wondered why a country bumpkin could get so much attention. Although her family background was not as good as the Liang family, it was still unattainable for this country bumpkin. Why didn't anyone see her and care about that country bumpkin instead?
Zhu Weiwei said calmly, "So Brother Fu also knows Xiao Jin. He liked Xiao Jin right away and came straight here without even noticing me."
This sentence misinterpreted the relationship between Fu Shen and Xia Jin, implicitly implying that Fu Shen liked Xia Jin, and sowing discord between Xia Jin and Gu Jingmo. It also secretly scolded Fu Shen for being impolite and telling his elders about it.
If it were a straight man, he might have gone along with the conversation. But who was Fu Shen? He was a playboy who could walk through a sea of flowers without getting even a single leaf stained. How could he not see what Zhu Weiwei was thinking? Fu Shen said bluntly, "I definitely know Lao Gu's people. Besides, I don't know you, so why should I say hello to you?"
Zhu Weiwei didn't expect such directness. Her face turned purple and blue. She said awkwardly, "Well, I was just curious. I didn't mean anything else. Maybe my words were a little inappropriate. I apologize."
Zhu Weiwei originally thought that Fu Shen would give her a way out after she said this, but Fu Shen acted unpredictably and said, "If you know your words are unpleasant, just say less."
Fu Shen's mother looked at her son and said embarrassedly, "Weiwei, right? I'm sorry. Shen Shen didn't mean anything else. He just spoke without thinking."
Fu Shen wanted to say something, but his mother glared at him and he immediately stopped talking. Zhu Weiwei's mother saw what had happened and said embarrassedly, "It's okay, the child is still young, it's just a joke, it's nothing serious."
"We've been here for so long, Madam Gu. It's time for us to go back. Sorry for disturbing you today." He said goodbye to Gu's mother.
Mother Gu did not try to persuade her to stay and said, "Okay, come again next time."
After the annoying person left, Xia Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Fu Shen saw Xia Jin like this and said, "Why don't you like her?"
Xia Jin smiled and said, "How did you tell? She likes this young master Gu next to me. Do you think I can like her? You don't know that even eight hundred thoughts and thoughts are not enough to chat with her."
Fu Shen jokingly said, "Old Gu is quite lucky with women, but it's quite annoying."
Gu Jingmo heard the two people joking and said, "This is my first time meeting her, how can I know why she likes me? Besides, you all know who I like."
Xia Jin said, "You haven't seen him, but he has seen you. The third young master of the Gu family has a good family background, is good-looking, and is also very self-motivated. Isn't he the best candidate for a good husband?"
Gu Jingmo rubbed Xia Jin's hand and said, "No matter how many people like me, I only like you. Next time I see her, I will definitely walk around her, okay?"
Xia Jin said embarrassedly: "It's up to you."
Fu Shen smiled and said, "Oh my, I'm so jealous. There's a stranger here. Please stop flirting."
Gu Jingmo kicked Fu Shen through Xia Jin and said, "If you don't like watching, stay away from us. You're in the way here."
"I'm not here to see you. I'm here to see Xia Jin. You don't have the final say."
"By the way, Xiaojin, when are you guys going back? Let's get together before you go back and take a look at the factory site we've chosen."
Xia Jin thought for a moment and said, "The fifth day is about right."
Fu Shen said, "Okay, then we'll get together on the third day of the New Year. We won't have time on the second day."
"I can even look at you."
After agreeing on a time, Fu Shen and the others sat for a while before leaving. After everyone left, Mother Gu leaned back on the sofa and said, "Finally, everyone's gone. I'm so tired."
Mother Gu said to Father Gu, "Why did the Zhu family come back? They never came before, but why did they come suddenly this time and stay for so long?"
Father Gu said, "Old Zhu's daughter is about the same age as Jing Mo and Zhao He. Old Zhu's position is not high and he is about to retire. He only has this one daughter, so she should find a good husband while she is still in office."
Mother Gu suddenly realized: "I thought so. He was so enthusiastic the moment he came in. But isn't Zhu Sanxiang close to the Liang family? How come he came here to pay New Year's greetings without worrying about them knowing?"
"Zhu Sanxiang is just a small fry, the lowest of the Liang family. Even if the Liang family knew about it, they wouldn't care. After all, the Zhu family is useless. If they really succeed, the daughter of the Zhu family will marry into our family. The Liang family will be so happy."
"After all, if used well, this is a perfect insider."
Mother Gu said, "They won't go out and tell nonsense when they see Xiaojin today, right?"
Father Gu comforted him, "It's okay. I'll let people spread the word that Xiao Jin is Jing Mo's savior. It's nothing for a savior to come and pay New Year's greetings."
"Besides, people outside wouldn't believe that our daughter-in-law is Xiaojin. Xiaojin's family background is there. Those old-fashioned people still pay attention to the matching of social status. Who would have thought that our family is Xiaojin who doesn't care about family background. As long as our son likes her, that's all that matters."
Mother Gu said, "Then I'm relieved. After all, Xiaojin is a girl. She would definitely be unhappy if others said that she was clinging to the powerful. It would also be bad for her reputation."
"Don't worry, your son will handle all of this. He can't even protect his wife. What's the point of keeping him around?"
