Chapter 38 You jumped into the river? Why?
Su Taotao's legs were not weak when she just got out of bed, but now she felt a little weak when she smelled the familiar yet strange scent on him.
Fu Zhengtu put his arm around her waist: "Are you okay?"
"Not at all!" Su Taotao pushed him away and ran to the bathroom as if she was escaping in panic.
Fu Zhengtu looked at her back and smiled silently.
Fu Zhengtu went back to collect firewood and heard someone knocking on the door. He picked up the shirt beside him and put it on, buttoning it up slowly before opening the door.
Uncle Fu was standing at the door holding a piece of meat. When he saw Fu Zhengtu, a light flashed in his shrewd eyes: "Zhengtu, good boy, you are finally back. Your mother is very worried about you."
Fu Zhengtu was calm and called out lightly: "Uncle."
Uncle Fu wanted to reach out and pat Fu Zhengtu's shoulder, but when he saw his calm eyes, he turned around and touched his head instead. The atmosphere was a little awkward. He made small talk: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. By the way, knowing you were back, I went to the commune to cut a piece of meat today. Let's have a drink together?"
In fact, Uncle Fu came with the meat at noon, but when he saw Fu Zhengtu was not at home, he took it back and came again when the time was right.
"He doesn't drink." Su Taotao came out of the bathroom at some point, raised her chin slightly towards Fu Zhengtu, and looked at Uncle Fu provocatively. He
just had a fight and now he's pretending to be so high and mighty, I don't know what he's trying to do.
Uncle Fu glanced at Su Taotao and felt something was wrong, so he looked at her a few more times, his shrewd old eyes flashed with disdain. He had always looked down on Su Taotao, whose lesbian looked like this, looking like she had never seen a man in her eight lifetimes, looking angry and coquettish, her eyes were expressive, not dignified at all, he secretly cursed her as "a foxy girl who seduces men", if she hadn't grown up like this to seduce Fu Zhengtu, Fu Zhengtu would have married his wife's niece, how could she have gotten her turn?
With new and old grudges, and relying on the fact that his nephew Fu Zhengtu would give his uncle some face, Uncle Fu's tone was naturally bad: "Why do women butt in on a man's conversation? It's none of your business when we two grandpa are drinking. Come on, Zhengtu, let's just go to my house for a drink."
Uncle Fu forgot about Fu Zhengtu's aura and actually wanted to reach out to put his arm around his shoulders.
Fu Zhengtu took a step back and dodged his hand calmly, his tone still calm: "I don't drink, please help yourself, uncle."
Uncle Fu was speechless for a moment, touched his nose: "Yes, yes, I forgot, then don't drink, drink tea, Guoqiang and others haven't seen you for many years, you brothers should also talk about it."
Su Taotao: "His brothers, his mother, his son, and his wife haven't seen him for many years, it's not your turn to talk about the past with your cousins."
Uncle Fu got angry: "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak? It's not your turn to make the decision in this family!"
Su Taotao was holding back her anger. She couldn't bear it when Fu Zhengtu was not at home. Now that Fu Zhengtu was at home, if she needed to bear it, she could change Chenchen's father.
She didn't intend to pretend to be a lady in front of Fu Zhengtu. She walked forward and was about to roll up her sleeves and do a big job.
Fu Zhengtu grabbed her and brought her to his side: "She is the mistress of this family. She has the final say in family affairs. Does uncle have anything else to say?"
Uncle Fu was shocked. What the hell did he hear? He never expected that Fu Zhengtu would not give him any face at all: "You, you, you, she, she..."
Su Taotao put her hands on her hips: "What do you mean by you, what do you mean by him? Does the captain want to spread rumors that I am engaged in speculation or that I am cheating on Fu Zhengtu?"
Zhou Linglan also came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and sighed: "His uncle, can you please stop making trouble? Can you let our family live in peace for a few days?"
Fu Yuanhang came out holding Chenchen and said, "Uncle, are you bringing a piece of meat to give to a beggar like me? I didn't come to your house to beg."
The whole family lined up in a row, united against a common enemy, and even Chenchen snorted heavily at him.
Fu Zhengtu: "It seems that my uncle has taken good care of my family when I'm away."
Fu Zhengtu still had that calm tone, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was unhappy.
Su Taotao added fuel to the fire: "It's quite good. The captain is fair and just. He promotes the virtuous and avoids relatives. He gave our mother the poorest and most difficult to cultivate land with the least centimeters in Dalingtou, while my aunt and two sisters-in-law cultivated the most fertile and most centimeters of land near Qiaotou. They are so good to our mother and are closer to our family than my own wife and daughter-in-law."
In fact, Zhou Linglan never said this to Su Taotao, nor did she complain. Su Taotao learned the plot from the book, so Zhou Linglan was also surprised. Su Taotao never went to work, and she thought she couldn't tell one thing from another, but it turned out that she knew everything.
Fu Zhengtu's eyes were as dark as ink. When he glanced at Uncle Fu, his eyes turned cold: "Uncle, you think this team leader is too hot for you. Have you forgotten how you got this position? I will go to the commune to find Secretary Hu in person tomorrow."
Uncle Fu's face was ashen. There had been no news from Fu Zhengtu in the past two years. He originally thought that he would not come back like his dead father, so he did not take the people from the second house seriously. No one was willing to go to that piece of land, so he let Zhou Linglan go to cultivate it. Originally, she disagreed and he had an excuse to change it to a lottery. He didn't expect that she was so stupid to agree, so he saved trouble. Who would have thought that she would settle the score later?
It's not that he did anything out of line with the Second House. He came the day before yesterday because someone reported it, and they had a quarrel. Apart from these things, he usually just turned a blind eye. He felt that he didn't deserve to die.
"Zhengtu, it's not like that. I didn't bully them. Your mother wanted to take the land of Daliangtou. If she disagrees, she can tell me and I will give her another piece of land. Someone wrote a letter of report the day before yesterday, so I came to your house to find out the situation. My tone was not very good, but I have already apologized.
Besides, if I hadn't taken your aunt and uncle to fight for her from King Yan, you wouldn't be able to see your wife now. Where is she?" How can I stand in front of you and accuse you of me? It’s because your aunt arrived in time. Otherwise, even if someone rescued me, I would be innocent. You still have to thank me for this.
Although my uncle is not a good person and he did not take good care of your family, I did not harm anyone. "
Fu Zhengtu's aura changed. He closed his eyelashes and looked down at Su Taotao. The dark color in his eyes became darker: "You jumped into the river? Why?"
Zhou Linglan and Fu Yuanhang were a little panicked.
Su Taotao has become so good since that incident. They deliberately concealed this matter because they didn't want to cause any more trouble. They didn't expect that it would be exposed by Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu took the opportunity to take credit: "It's because you haven't come back. She doesn't want to be a widow, so she threatened me to let her go back to the city by jumping into the river. No matter how bad she is, she is the daughter-in-law of our Fu family. Without your consent, I can't let her go."
Su Taotao: "..." Old Fu, if you don't say anything, no one will think you are dumb.
How is she going to explain this?
It's not me? I didn't? You listen to my explanation?
This is really none of her business.
