"Hey, look at you, why are you so surprised that my son and daughter-in-law sleep together? Shouldn't they sleep together after they get married? My son just can't move below his thighs, it's not that he can't have sex. It won't be surprising if they have another child someday. They are still so young, don't you think?"
Zhang Guifen smiled.
Now everyone understood what she meant, and the expressions on their faces became ambiguous.
So Xiao Shanhe can’t move below his thighs… what about other parts…
"Okay, I won't say any more. I still have to go buy groceries. Alas, my daughter-in-law can't be relied on, so I, an old woman, have to do the hard work."
Every word Zhang Guifen said was a complaint, but anyone who heard her could tell she was showing off.
Most of the women were married, and had experienced everything. Zhang Guifen went around and opened up all their dirty talk.
A few unmarried girls passed by and just as I was about to chat with them, they ran away blushing when they heard what they said.
Shen Huanxi and Xiao Shanhe got up and washed up. Her colleagues came over to help make juice, while she herself went to Taiping Street.
As soon as she walked out of the Xiao family's courtyard, Shen Huanxi saw the neighbors under the big locust tree looking at her with strange eyes.
"Xiao Shen looks good today. He must be in a good mood."
"Look at her rosy face. If you don't know her, you would think she got married yesterday."
"I haven't been to school much, and I don't have much cultural knowledge. Xiao Shen, this is called a peach blossom face, right? Look at you, hey, this complexion is so good..."
…
As soon as Shen Huanxi went out, she heard the neighbors talking about this. She found it a little strange that they were all praising her complexion.
Then she remembered that last night was one of the rare nights she slept well recently, and she didn't think much about it. She slept so well last night, so it was normal that she looked much better today than before. No wonder everyone would compliment her.
"Thank you everyone, I slept well last night. I still have some things to do, I'll talk to you later."
After saying that, she got on her bike and left.
She wants to convert the shop on Taiping Street into a temporary office for pre-ordering sea buckthorn juice. Now, more and more retail and restaurant owners come to her every day to order sea buckthorn juice. It is not good to have so many people coming and going at home. She does not want to handle business at home until the factory is built.
It just so happened that more and more people were following the trend of making stamps, and making money from stamps was no longer as easy as before. Sometimes she could only do a few stamp orders a day, so she simply put the stamp business aside for the time being.
She only called Li Shaohua over and helped her clean up the store. After they had been cleaning for a while, Jiang Xiaomei came.
Jiang Xiaomei was furious and her face turned red. Shen Huanxi noticed something was wrong and quickly handed her a bottle of sea buckthorn juice.
"What's wrong with you? Who has offended you? Come and drink a glass of juice first to calm down."
"Yeah." Jiang Xiaomei was not polite. She took the sea buckthorn juice handed to her by Shen Huanxi, opened the bottle cap, put it to her lips, and drank it in big gulps. She drank the whole bottle in one breath before slamming the empty glass bottle onto the table.
"Hey, Sister Jiang, please be gentle, you are going to break Xiao Shen's table. Why are you so angry? Who has offended our Sister Jiang?" Li Shaohua, who was helping Shen Huanxi pack a bag of stamps, came over and asked with some concern.
Jiang Xiaomei snorted.
"I found that woman! She's the woman that Luo Bo had outside! Look, it's her!"
“Bang!”
After Jiang Xiaomei finished speaking, she threw several photos heavily onto the table.
Li Shaohua also knew about what happened in Jiang Xiaomei's home. She had just reminded Jiang Xiaomei not to damage Shen Huanxi's table. Now that she knew she was angry because of Luo Bo, she didn't dare to say anything to her.
Shen Huanxi and Li Shaohua both put down their work and looked over. There were four photos in total, all of which showed the same woman, some from the front and some from the side.
There is a man next to the woman in the photo. In two photos, the woman is holding hands with him, and in the other two photos, the two of them are hugging each other.
"It's this woman, her name is Zheng Caixia, Luo Bo has been fooling around with her all these years! It makes me so angry!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Haven't you always wanted to find evidence? Haven't you found it now? This should be a happy thing." Li Shaohua said.
Jiang Xiaomei shook her head.
"Look at these four photos. They only captured Zheng Caixia's face, not Luo Bo's. I listened to Huan Xi and didn't hire a local private detective from Yunnan. I spent a lot of money to hire one from the provincial capital, but I didn't expect that the one from the provincial capital was unreliable. The first one captured Luo Bo's face, but Luo Bo found out and his camera was broken. I was so angry that I fired him.
This is the second private detective I hired. He was very careful and was not discovered by Robo, but he also did not take a photo of Robo's face. Even if this photo is released, Robo can deny it and clear himself of the crime. What do you think I should do? I am so angry!"
"It's okay, it's okay. At least we know who that woman is. You haven't made any progress in investigating Luo Bo's cheating recently. You were very worried about it a few days ago. Now it's at least some progress." Li Shaohua comforted.
"That's all I can do. I'll take my time." Jiang Xiaomei sighed.
Shen Huanxi didn't say anything. She just kept looking at the four photos over and over again.
"Xiaomei, this Zheng Caixia graduated from a medical school and is now working as a nurse in the Third People's Hospital, right?" After confirming the person in the photo several times, Shen Huanxi looked up and asked Jiang Xiaomei.
Jiang Xiaomei was stunned.
"How do you know, Huanxi? Have you met this person? Do you know her?"
"My friend's mother was hospitalized in the Third People's Hospital before. When I went to see her, I saw this woman, who was a nurse there."
"It turns out she's actually a nurse in the hospital! I'll go to her workplace and make her lose her job! I'll make her embarrassed in front of everyone in her workplace! She'll never be able to hold her head up again!" Jiang Xiaomei clenched her fists.
"Don't." Shen Huanxi quickly patted the back of her hand.
"Xiaomei, none of these four photos show her from the front, and we don't know if Zheng Caixia is married now. If she is married and she denies it, we can just say this man is her husband. We can't embarrass her."
"But this man is Luo Bo, not her husband! She just got married so that her husband can know what kind of woman she is outside!"
"Then what's the point of you destroying her? Luo Bo can still get away with it, and you still won't be able to fight for the family property." Shen Huanxi analyzed to Jiang Xiaomei.
After hearing what Shen Huanxi said, Jiang Xiaomei slowly calmed down.
"I just said it in anger. I won't lose my temper. What's the point of me looking for Zheng Caixia now? I don't want to beat up all the women out there and continue living with Luo Bo. What I want is the family property! What's a man? I can live without a man!
Well, I'll take my time. Now that I know where she works, it will be easier to find out. I've already taken a picture of her, so how long will it take to take a picture of Luo Bo?"
"Well, you're right to think so." Shen Huanxi patted her shoulder again to comfort her.
"Oh, by the way, Huanxi, Luo Bo went back and told him that you wanted to compete with him for the Jixiang Quarry? I overheard him talking to someone on the phone saying that last night. Is that true?" Jiang Xiaomei asked.
"Yeah." Shen Huanxi nodded.
Jiang Xiaomei sighed.
"Then it might be difficult for you. When Luo Bo and I got married, Director Chen, who was in charge of this project, was Luo Bo's best man. They had a very good relationship, like close friends. Why don't you change projects? I'm afraid you'll waste your time. I'm really not trying to discourage you. Luo Bo and Chen Shuisheng were drinking together today."
"No, I need this project." Shen Huanxi said affirmatively.
She was at the Investment Promotion Bureau that day and read all the tender notices carefully. Only this project was the most suitable for her and the one she could afford to bid for.
Jiang Xiaomei saw that she insisted and had no choice:
"Okay, then go ahead. If I have any information, I'll tell you. I'm going to start pretending to be a virtuous wife at home. Maybe I can really get something out of you."
"Pretending?" Shen Huanxi looked at Jiang Xiaomei with some concern, "Xiaomei, you haven't slept with Luo Bo recently, have you?"
Shen Huanxi was worried that Jiang Xiaomei would sleep with Luo Bo in order to pretend to be more similar.
Jiang Xiaomei shook her head.
"No, how could I let him touch me? Wouldn't I be disgusted? He has other women outside. Who knows if he will bring some disease home? I think it's dirty."
"That's good. You still have to be careful. If you really get sick, it will be difficult to cure."
…
After Shen Huanxi returned home, he told him everything he had learned from Jiang Xiaomei today.
"Didn't I tell you before that I think the name Chen Shuisheng sounds familiar? It turns out that I have heard of him in the village before. I heard that he loves to visit prostitutes, and many of the people who serve him were introduced by a nurse named Zheng Caixia. This Zheng Caixia is Luo Bo's woman outside. If you think about it this way, what I heard is very likely true. After all, the relationship between Chen Shuisheng and Luo Bo is there." Shen Huanxi said finally.
In fact, she didn't hear it in the village.
In her previous life, around the end of the 1980s, she read a news item in the newspaper about a leader of a local investment promotion bureau who was involved in gambling, prostitution, corruption and debauchery. The circumstances were so heinous that he was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.
The official was named Chen Shuisheng, and he was associated with a madam named Zheng Caixia. This case also led to the discovery of Zheng Caixia's prostitution den.
Shen Huanxi didn't pay much attention to this kind of news in his previous life.
This incident caused a lot of commotion in her previous life, and people were talking about it everywhere on the streets. However, because she didn't pay much attention, she didn't have a deep impression of it. When she saw Chen Shuisheng's name for the first time, she didn't remember it immediately.
It was not until today, when she saw Zheng Caixia in Jiang Xiaomei's photo, that she finally remembered the case.
"You mean you want to find something to hold against Chen Shuisheng so that he will give you the project?" asked Xiao Shanhe.
Shen Huanxi pondered for a moment.
"That's an idea, but I'm not sure if it's strong enough. What if Chen Shuisheng was just playing around and didn't leave any evidence?"
"If what the villagers are talking about is not rumors, we can always find evidence. I can help you find it. But using evidence to kidnap someone is likely to lead to retaliation." Xiao Shanhe analyzed calmly with Shen Huanxi.
Shen Huanxi nodded.
She must understand that using leverage to extort money from others can easily lead to retaliation.
The main thing is that she is really not sure whether Chen Shuisheng has started to engage in prostitution and debauchery at this moment.
In his previous life, Chen Shuisheng got into trouble and was arrested. That was in the late 1980s. It is not even the mid-1980s yet. What if Chen Shuisheng was not so evil at that time?
"I know I won't do anything dangerous. But how do you check? Will it be dangerous?" Shen Huanxi was a little worried about Xiao Shanhe.
In this era, all kinds of dark things have happened, but most people live simple lives and therefore don’t know about them. In this era, if powerful people really want to do something without letting others know, it can be easily suppressed.
After all, Xiao Shanhe is just an ordinary citizen now.
"Don't worry, I'm very cautious. I have my own methods and ways. There won't be any danger."
"I want to visit Chen Shuisheng." Shen Huanxi said suddenly.
"When are you going? I'll go with you."
"Why are you going with me without even asking why?"
Logically speaking, she knew the relationship between Chen Shuisheng and Luo Bo, so she must have known that no matter how many times she visited Chen Shuisheng, Chen Shuisheng would always stand on Luo Bo's side. No matter how many gifts she gave, could it compare to the relationship between Luo Bo and Chen Shuisheng, who grew up wearing the same pants?
"We have to go, of course. Regardless of whether we end up getting this project using honest methods or by putting in some other efforts, we have to try our best to make everything look normal. We know that Chen Shuisheng is in charge of this project, and it would be abnormal if we didn't even go to find him." Xiao Shanhe smiled.
Shen Huanxi nodded.
In her heart, she agreed with Xiao Shanhe, but apart from what Xiao Shanhe said, she had other purposes for going to see Chen Shuisheng.
She also wanted to confirm whether Chen Shuisheng was the person she saw in the newspaper in her previous life.
Even though all the evidence now points to Chen Shuisheng as the man and they are not someone with the same name, she still has to confirm it to be absolutely sure.
…
Three-piece gift set: cigarettes, fine wine and good tea.
Tea is the most difficult thing to sell. After all, the price of tea is set quite arbitrarily, and it does not mean that expensive tea is necessarily good tea.
Chen Shuisheng is in charge of so many investment projects and has seen a lot of things. There must be a lot of people who give him gifts and money. Shen Huanxi doesn't want to waste money buying tea.
She and Xiao Shanhe went to buy two bottles of Fenjiu and wanted to buy some cigarettes, but found that all the nearby cigarette shops were out of stock.
When it was close to New Year's Day, cigarettes were the hardest to buy. Xiao Shanhe and Shen Huanxi did not smoke, and no one in their family stocked cigarettes, so it was quite embarrassing not being able to buy cigarettes, so the couple decided to go look for them separately.
Shen Huanxi asked two more shops, but neither had any good cigarettes. Then she remembered that Director Zhou might have some. Director Zhou happened to be on duty today, so she rode her bike to the office to see if she could borrow some from Director Zhou first.
Director Zhou was upset when he saw her.
"Xiao Shen, you lead the people in our office to make money and generate income, making everyone's life better. I am very happy. You are really a good comrade in our office!"
"Thank you, Director Zhou. I originally wanted to ask you to come over to help me, but it's a pity that you were busy. Otherwise, we are all so free now, and I could see Director Zhou every day and listen to Director Zhou's teachings." Flattery never wears out. Shen Huanxi had always been particularly sweet-mouthed in front of Director Zhou before. Today, he had something to ask of Director Zhou. How could he not be sweet-mouthed?
Director Zhou smiled even more happily after hearing her words.
"Xiao Shen, I love listening to you talk the most. You are so sweet. I know you are just trying to flatter me, but I still enjoy it. What can I do? Who told you to be so nice to everyone in our office? I can't help but dislike you, but I really can't go to help you anymore. I have to take care of my family's business as well."
"I understand." Shen Huanxi also knew that Director Zhou's family had a winery.
Frankly speaking, someone like Director Zhou is not short of money and does not need this job. Moreover, he has a large family and a big business, but he is willing to do this job. This shows that he really has a great enthusiasm for the Three Norths Project and for sand prevention and control in his country.
Director Zhou felt it was a pity when Yue Danqing left. He was also afraid that the comrades in the Propaganda Department would also leave one by one. Now that he has Shen Huanxi, he no longer has to worry about this.
"You're not on duty today. What are you doing here? How can I help you?" Director Zhou saw through Shen Huanxi at a glance.
"Director Zhou, my juice factory..." Shen Huanxi simply told Director Zhou about her current situation and plans. "I just need two packs of cigarettes now, but I can't buy any outside. I want to see if you have any. Can I borrow some from you? It's almost New Year's Day now. After New Year's Day, cigarettes will be easier to buy. I'll return them to you then."
"It's not a big deal. Why don't you just tell me directly? Why do you have to run around outside with your man to look for it? I have Hongmei, Yuxi, and Hongtashan cigarettes here. Don't worry, these cigarettes are not given to me by others. We are a government office with few people, so no one will give us gifts. These were bought for me by my own relatives. You can use them. It won't cause any trouble. Take your pick."
As Director Zhou spoke, he took out his cigarettes one by one from the drawer under his desk.
Shen Huanxi looked at the cigarette he took out and felt that he had come to the right place today.
She knew that Director Zhou usually liked to smoke Yunnan Yunnan cigarettes, so she picked up a pack of Hongmei and a pack of Hongtashan without even looking at the Yunnan Yunnan cigarettes.
"Director Zhou, thank you so much for coming today. I don't know how to thank you enough. Without you, I really wouldn't be able to do this..."
"Alright, alright, why are you being so polite to me? This is also for you to run the factory well, so that you can lead our colleagues in the office to get rich and make everyone's life better. I can't bear to see everyone working hard for the green mountains and clear waters of the motherland but not having enough to eat. I want our comrades in the three northern regions to live a better life more than anyone else. Alright, go find your man quickly and tell him to stop running around."
"Okay, thank you Director Zhou."
Shen Huanxi put the two packs of cigarettes in his backpack and left the office to find Xiao Shanhe.
The couple had agreed in advance that they would meet at the gate of the Investment Promotion Bureau's family compound an hour later, regardless of whether they had bought cigarettes or not.
If I could buy cigarettes, I would take them with me to see Chen Shuisheng. If I couldn't buy cigarettes, two bottles of Fenjiu and some sea buckthorn juice made by Shen Huanxi wouldn't be too shabby.
I can't waste too much time just because I can't buy cigarettes. There are so many people rushing to give gifts now that it will be too cold if I go later.
Chen Shuisheng's home was in the house built by employees of the Investment Promotion Bureau. Xiao Shanhe had inquired about it in advance and found out that it was Room 202 in the second tube building. Shen Huanxi also remembered it.
When Shen Huanxi rode his bicycle to the Investment Promotion Bureau, Xiao Shanhe had already arrived.
When he and Shen Huanxi went to look for cigarettes separately, they asked several shops, but none of them had any good cigarettes. So he simply went to borrow two packs of cigarettes from an old friend and then hurried to the Investment Promotion Bureau to wait for Shen Huanxi.
The family building of the Investment Promotion Bureau is behind the office building. To get to the family building, one has to pass through the square in front of the office building first. As soon as Xiao Shanhe entered, he met several of his college classmates.
They were a few male classmates, and they gathered around him when they saw him.
"Oh, Xiao Shanhe, what a coincidence. We heard that you were injured at work and couldn't stand up. We thought it was a joke, but we didn't expect that you really couldn't stand up." A man named Sun Weiguo walked over and spoke.
The other men who came with him burst into laughter.
Xiao Shanhe graduated from the best university in the province. At that time, there were quotas for admission to universities. If it weren't for his rural hukou, he would have had more than enough chance to go to a better university in the capital. Even so, it was very impressive to be able to go to such a university in the province, so all of his classmates are doing well now.
A big part of the reason why Lan Linxiang disliked him before was because one by one their college classmates either became wealthy men or high-ranking officials, but Xiao Shanhe was unwilling to give up his research.
With so many college classmates gathered here today, it is simply a gathering of "capable" men.
These men all have some complaints against Xiao Shanhe to some extent.
When they saw Xiao Shanhe sitting in a wheelchair, instead of showing any sympathy, they laughed at him.
"Look at you. When you were in school, you were a famous person. You ranked first in every exam and received four years of scholarships. Even the school beauty Lan was infatuated with you. No matter how others pursued her, she ignored them. But she fell in love with you and married you as soon as she graduated. Why didn't you cherish it?"
"If I could marry the campus beauty, I would be full of energy and think about how to give her a better life every day. How could you break her heart and end up with you two getting divorced?"
"You are somewhat... as glorious as you were in the past, you are as despicable as you are now. Lan was the school belle, she was the most beautiful girl in the world, and she actually fell in love with a poor boy like you. It's a pity that you just couldn't keep her. Now, the school belle doesn't want you anymore. I heard that you remarried and married a woman who was married twice?"
"I'm really going backwards. I couldn't keep the school beauty and married a second-hand girl..."
"Women are human beings." Xiao Shanhe suddenly interrupted the man named Wu Xinsheng.
He had been silent while listening to all they said just now, but when he heard the word "second-hand goods", his face darkened.
"Women are human beings, not objects. Please don't use words like 'second-hand goods' to describe women. It is very disrespectful." Xiao Shanhe frowned and said seriously.
But it was met with a burst of laughter.
"You married a second-hand commodity and don't want to hear the truth from others, so you are making excuses here. Isn't the woman you married a divorced woman? Then she is a second-hand commodity." Li Fanggang laughed, and the other men also laughed.
In this era, even if a man is married for the second time, or a bachelor in his 40s or 50s, marrying a woman who has been married for the second time will be laughed at by other men. Even in the 21st century, there are still many men who say "I won't marry unless she is a virgin", not to mention that Shen Huanxi has been married before? Isn't this a laughing stock for these stubborn men in this era?
"She is a second marriage, but she is not second-hand goods. You were born by women, and there are women in your family. Please have the most basic respect for women. Whether it is marriage or divorce, it is a normal thing.
Marriage is for happiness, divorce is for happiness, and remarriage is for happiness. It is the most irrational to cling to each other even when you can't live together anymore. It is not good for anyone. Comrade Lan is living a good life now, and so am I. You don't have to point fingers at other people's lives." Xiao Shanhe still had a cold face.
These men were not listening at all and just laughed at me.
"We are not pointing fingers at you. We are telling the truth. Wasn't Comrade Lan our school beauty? Isn't the girl you married now inferior to Lan in every way? She has no education, comes from a rural background, is married, and has children. How can she be as clean and innocent as Lan? Even if you have some ability, you shouldn't end up like this."
"Mountains and rivers." Just as Wu Xinsheng finished speaking, a soft and sweet voice suddenly came.
When the men heard this voice, their ears felt numb. It was really rare to hear such a beautiful female voice. It took them a second to realize that the voice seemed to be calling Xiao Shanhe?
A few men looked over and saw a beautiful young woman in her early 20s, wearing a beige woolen coat with a lace skirt underneath. The hem of the skirt was slightly longer than the woolen coat, thick flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of beige ankle-high high-heeled boots.
The woman also tied her hair up and pinned a pearl hairpin on her ear, which made her look simple, elegant and graceful.
After Shen Huanxi returned to this era, many of her clothes and styles were based on the aesthetics of several decades later. She was really not used to the common dressing styles of women of this era.
The aesthetics of the future may not necessarily seem strange in this era. Shen Huanxi's current style has already appeared in some foreign magazines, and some domestic models have imitated it. Many people think she looks good when they see her.
Of course, the first reason is that she is really beautiful.
When Xiao Shanhe's male classmates saw Shen Huanxi, they immediately paused to say "second-hand goods", "remarried woman", "from the countryside"...
I put everything out of my mind and only had one thought left: this woman is so beautiful, so beautiful!
Shen Huanxi had just arrived. Listening to what these men said, she was very angry.
It seems that the saying that a high level of education does not necessarily mean high quality is correct.
In addition, the college entrance examination nowadays is not as fair as it will be in the future. Many people rely on indicators to enter universities, such as recommendations from organizations, etc., which makes it very easy to use backdoors.
Shen Huanxi never had any expectations about the general qualities of men, and now it seems that she was right.
She suppressed her anger and walked to Xiao Shanhe's side. After standing beside him, she looked at the men whose eyes were already wide open when they saw her.
"I am indeed from the countryside and have little education, so I cannot compare to your school beauty Lan." Shen Huanxi smiled, and her smile was very sweet and gentle.
Her smile made those men feel ashamed.
Anyone would feel embarrassed if they were heard saying bad things about someone during the day, but Shen Huanxi said it so bluntly...
"Comrade, we are not..." Li Fang was about to say something but didn't know how to start.
No one wants to offend a beautiful woman, even if she is someone else's wife.
"You are not what? Are you talking to me? Why can't I hear you later?" Shen Huanxi was still smiling.
It was true that those men felt ashamed and furious.
Didn't they just vent their anger by saying those things to Xiao Shanhe?
In recent years, they felt uncomfortable when they thought about Xiao Shanhe marrying their school beauty. Why? Xiao Shanhe was a poor boy born in poverty. Why? Just because he had a good-looking face?
But don’t women always look at their husbands’ abilities and family background rather than their looks when choosing one?
Xiao Shanhe won Lan Linxiang's heart just by his good looks and his first place in the exam.
Later, he divorced Lan Linxiang, which was a result that many male classmates were happy to see. However, they would have thought that he remarried not long after that. First, they let these male classmates know that the woman he remarried was even more beautiful and eye-catching than Lan Linxiang. When she stood there, she was more beautiful than the female stars in magazines.
"I think your man is really capable. He graduated from a prestigious university, but now he has to live on a pension. We are all his college classmates, and now we are all successful in our careers. It's a pity to see him like this now." Li Fang said bluntly.
When he saw Shen Huanxi's face, he felt sad.
Several other people were also unhappy.
"We didn't do as well as him in college, and we weren't like him. When we were in school, we were the big names in the school, but now we are doing better than him. It's really sad."
"How much is his monthly pension? Is it enough for me to have a meal?"
"This watch on my wrist cost me more than 300 yuan. If Xiao Shanhe bought it, wouldn't he have to save up money for several years?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to tighten my belt and save money. You're talking about pensions. Even if it's a stable job in a state-owned enterprise, I'd give it up. Only men without talent would focus on a few dozen dollars."
…
Some men are nosy and I will feel unhappy if I don't say anything.
Shen Huanxi held Xiao Shanhe's hand, and surprisingly, there was no anger on the couple's faces.
Xiao Shanhe was about to say something when Shen Huanxi spoke first.
"Yes, you are all right. He lives on pensions now and doesn't earn as much as you do." Shen Huanxi smiled, his voice so gentle.
This really confused the men. It would have been fine if she wasn't angry, but why did she respond to them?
Shen Huanxi looked at Li Fanggang.
"By the way, Boss Li, you should be in the steel business. Your business is pretty good, right?"
"Yes, my business is doing well. I also want to bid for a project today." Li Fanggang was surprised that Shen Huanxi knew what he did, but he still said it proudly.
Shen Huanxi smiled.
"You are doing well in business now, so you have done your father a good deed. You couldn't get into college because of your poor grades, so your father borrowed money at high interest rates to buy a quota for you and forced you to go to college. When you were in college, your father couldn't pay back the money, so the loan shark broke his leg. Later, he died of an infection in the winter because he had no money for treatment.
People say that one of the biggest regrets in life is that one's parents are no longer around to take care of them. Boss Li, that's what's happening to you, right? And your father died so early because you couldn't get into college. If you were smarter or worked harder, you wouldn't need your father..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't talk nonsense!" Li Fanggang's face turned completely black. He interrupted Shen Huanxi and stopped her from continuing.
This is the dark history he is most reluctant to face, the greatest pain in his heart, and the most embarrassing thing in his life.
The other men looked at Li Fanggang in surprise. No one could have imagined that he had such an experience. Looking at his angry reaction, it was obviously true.
"Old Li, you actually..."
"Old Zhang, don't listen to her nonsense! It's not true! My father died of a cold! It's not like what she said!" Li Fanggang interrupted Zhang Weiguo.
The more nervous he is, the more it proves that he is trying to cover up something.
Shen Huanxi looked at Zhang Weiguo.
"Boss Zhang, you are quite capable. Your wife is so lucky to marry you. You must have helped your brother-in-law all the time, right? Your wife secretly gave your money to your brother-in-law, and your brother-in-law was a gambler. He lost all the money. Your wife had no choice but to borrow money in your name to give to your brother-in-law, causing you to be in debt. That's why you come here to find a project to make money, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you..."
"Why are you so nervous? If I was talking nonsense, you wouldn't have to be so nervous." Shen Huanxi interrupted Zhang Weiguo.
"Boss Zhang, I think you are very tolerant. You already know that your brother-in-law is not your wife's biological brother, and you also know that they have an improper relationship. You even caught them in bed once. Why are you so tolerant?
Because your wife is pregnant now, it is very likely to be a boy, which can help you continue your family line, right? I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up. You are very likely infertile. The boy in your wife's belly is your so-called brother-in-law's..."
"You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense here! You bitch! Then I won't beat you!" Zhang Weiguo ran over angrily, raised his hand and was about to hit Shen Huanxi.
"You dare." Xiao Shanhe shouted coldly.
Before Zhang Weiguo's hand fell, it was grabbed by Xiao Shanhe.
Zhang Weiguo just couldn't believe it. How could a healthy man like him be controlled by Xiao Shanhe?
He wanted to pull his hand out of Xiao Shanhe's hand, but found that Xiao Shanhe's arm was like cast steel and extremely strong. He used all his strength, but in the end he couldn't break free from Xiao Shanhe's hand, and he couldn't even move. His bones seemed to be broken, and he grimaced in pain.
Shen Huanxi laughed, and the sound was as sweet as a silver bell, but Zhang Weiguo found it very irritating.
He was not good in that aspect. He had visited many hospitals in the past ten years but none of them could cure him. However, he was eager to carry on the family line. In that era, many people felt that it was not good to have no boy in the family. He must have a son to carry on the family line and burn incense at his grave after his death.
Because of this incident, he endured all the things his wife did and just wanted a son. He never thought that he would be exposed in person by Shen Huanxi.
"Boss Zhang, I'm divorced, but I will never cheat on my husband no matter what. My husband just can't walk and has to sit in a wheelchair, but that doesn't mean he's infertile. You're different. You'd better go and see a doctor, hehe."
"Nonsense, you are talking nonsense! Shut up! Old Wu, what are you guys doing just standing there? Why don't you come and help me? This woman is talking nonsense here! Xiao Shanhe is even using force! Old Wu, come here!"
"Boss Wu." Shen Huanxi looked at Wu Xinsheng with a smile.
"Boss Wu, I know you hate my man because when you were in college, you were always chasing after Comrade Lan, but she never liked you. Later, when Comrade Lan and my husband divorced, you heard the news and rushed to find Comrade Lan.
