After returning home, Cao Rou told her husband gloatingly that Chen Tuan's wife was not liked by the Chen family.
Captain Lu told Cao Rou to stop talking nonsense.
"Where did I talk nonsense?" Cao Rou immediately told her husband about the encounter with Chen Tuan's cousin at the gate of the military area just now. She said that it was Chen Tuan's cousin who told her that Chen Tuan's parents were not very satisfied with Chen Tuan, their country daughter-in-law.
Cao Rouxin said that if her son married a country girl, she would definitely not agree. What’s the use of being beautiful?
Thinking of this, she was no longer so jealous of Yang Shuying's whitening and beauty.
"Is that female educated youth really Chen Tuan's cousin?" Captain Lu asked.
Cao Rouxin thought, who would want to eat and do nothing? Besides, she just received some benefits from the other party. How could she be willing to give it to him if he was not a relative?
"How is Chen Tuan's cousin?" Captain Lu was mainly curious about Chen Tuan's family background.
Cao Rou had no doubt about it. She thought that the female educated youth was dressed quite well, had fair skin, and was pretty.
However, if Chen Tuan's family really had a good background, there was no way his cousin would be assigned to such a remote place to work in the countryside.
After Cao Rou expressed her guess, Captain Lu didn't think much about it this time.
Cao Rou suddenly thought of something and said, "Haven't you always wanted to know why Chen Tuan was suddenly transferred from Kyoto? Do you think it's possible that he was implicated by something?"
The more Cao Rou thought about it, the more she felt that it was the right answer. Otherwise, why would his cousin be assigned to work in such a remote village?
Cao Rou couldn't help but think of Chen Yi's appearance. The more Cao Rou thought about it, the more she felt that Chen Tuan's family might have been implicated by Chen Yi's nephew.
After all, she knew very well that people were very good at this kind of P outside. To put it nicely, Chen Tuan's nephew was a traitor and a bastard, to put it bluntly.
Cao Rou now wanted to transfer her daughter to another class, for she was afraid that her daughter would come into contact with Chen Tuan's nephew and get infected with bad luck, which would also affect her family.
Cao Rou expressed her thoughts to Captain Lu, who didn't say anything. He was indeed a little skeptical in his heart, but when he heard her say that she wanted to transfer her daughter to another shift, Captain Lu felt that she was making a fuss and had nothing to do. After all, Chen Yi had nothing to do with his family!
"Teacher Yang," Fang Fengxia called Shuying as she just walked out of the classroom door and told her that a young female comrade in the office was looking for her.
Before Shuying went to the office on the second floor, Fang Fengxia told her that the female comrade seemed to be her relative who had just gone to the countryside to work in the fields.
Fang Fengxia curiously asked who her relative was.
After hearing the female educated youth, Shuying was almost sure who was looking for her. She replied, "Teacher Fang, I don't know either. I'll go upstairs to check on her first!"
Fang Fengxia still had classes to attend, so I didn't ask any more questions. I watched her walk towards the office, and only when her figure disappeared from the staircase did I look away and walk back to the classroom.
When Shuying went upstairs, she was quite curious about the purpose of her eldest cousin asking about her family and her recently?
However, she had no good feelings towards Uncle Chen's family who had reported her father-in-law!
Last night she mentioned this eldest cousin by chance, and her husband's face looked particularly gloomy. She asked a few more questions and only then did she find out that the terrible and deceitful wife that her husband's eldest brother married for the second time was actually the one who was strongly recommended and introduced by this cousin?
I heard that the two of them are very good classmates?
Shuying felt that the eldest cousin who could introduce such a bad person with questionable character to the eldest brother of the Chen family must be either a naive person who is easily fooled, or she has ulterior motives!
Shuying walked into the office. There was a female comrade wearing Dacron. She looked young, with fair skin and a little dusty. Her face was full of smiles, but the smile was not very deep and seemed a little fake.
Chen Wei stood up very naturally and took her hand to reminisce with her. When he saw her appearance clearly, she was stunned at first, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly recovered and greeted her with a smile. Shuying saw the gleam of light and calculation in her eyes, and could tell that she was not a naive person.
"You are Axi's wife, my cousin's wife, right? Oh! You are so pretty, no wonder Axi likes her!" Chen Wei said sweetly and enthusiastically introduced herself. She also said that she had known her cousin Chen Xi very well since childhood and had a good relationship with him. She suddenly said, "My uncle and aunt almost didn't agree with you and Axi's relationship. It was thanks to my uncle and aunt that they listened to my advice that Axi was able to marry such a pretty and blessed wife!"
As soon as Chen Wei opened her mouth, she praised the tree shadow to the sky and took all the credit on herself. Her words were very beautiful and charming.
If she had no scheming and didn't know anything about the eldest brother of the Chen family, she would probably be easily coaxed into opening her heart.
Shuying's face was calm. He was sure at a glance that the cousin in front of him was not a simple person. After the two of them recognized each other, he tried to test her purpose with a distant smile on his face: "Cousin, why did you suddenly come to Shilitun to work in the countryside? This place is very remote and far from Kyoto. Were you assigned here? Why don't you try to be assigned to another village closer to Kyoto? That would allow us to know you better, right?"
Chen Wei was somewhat dissatisfied with Shuying's distant and cold attitude. She originally thought that after she had said so much, Chen Xi, the country daughter-in-law, would immediately believe her and be moved to accept her "affection". However, when she thought about how such a country woman could marry into her uncle's family, she simply didn't believe it without some scheming. Chen Wei didn't want to act too hastily.
Chen Wei's face remained unchanged and she said with a smile: "Before going to the countryside, I also thought about being assigned to a village closer to Kyoto so that I could know the basics. Later, my uncle and aunt found out that I was going to the countryside and simply suggested that I come here. Xi and you two are near the military area. I can help you. Besides, I also want to come and see you two!"
Shuying sneered in her heart when she heard the shameless talk of the eldest cousin of the Chen family. Not to mention that the eldest uncle of the Chen family had reported her husband's family, but that this eldest cousin had ulterior motives and deliberately introduced such a woman with questionable character to her eldest brother and her parents-in-law. It’s too late to hold a grudge in my heart, where can I help?
"Oh, I just received a letter from my parents these two days. Why didn't they mention this? Otherwise, I would have known that my cousin had gone to the countryside!"
Chen Wei's face stiffened at Shuying's words. She forced a smile and replied, "Maybe I didn't decide to come here before I went to the countryside. My uncle and aunt didn't know I was here, and I didn't want to worry them too much."
Chen Wei also said that she would reply to the old couple herself when the time comes, so they wouldn't have to bother telling them about her affairs.
Shuying's smile deepened: "Since my cousin is here to work in the countryside, I must inform my parents so that they don't worry too much about you!"
"Sister-in-law, no need. Besides, I don't have the face to let my uncle and aunt miss me all the time!" Chen Wei said vaguely that there was a conflict between the two families recently, mainly because her father made some mistakes, but she didn't say what the mistake was. Chen Wei asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, did A Xi mention the conflict between the two families to you?"
Shuying played dumb: "Our two families are family, how can there be any conflicts? Cousin, is there something urgent that you came to see me this time?"
Chen Wei thought Chen Xi didn't tell her about her father's report, so she was relieved for the time being. She glanced at her and said, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, I came to you this time because I really have something to ask you for help! This matter is not big, but it's not small either. It's just that there was a misunderstanding between me and Axi. I hope you can say a few good words for me in front of Axi when you go back! To be honest, this matter is also my fault!"
Chen Wei sighed with a look of self-blame and briefly told her that she had a very good friend who came from an average family. She brought the classmate home several times, but she never expected that the classmate actually secretly fell in love with her older brother.
Chen Wei explained that her older brother was her husband's biological brother, but was adopted by her family when he was a child. Her parents were very good to him and his family relationships were also very good. However, this classmate of hers was not a good person. Seeing that her older brother had good conditions and a high salary, she secretly hooked up with her older brother.
Her elder brother really fell in love with the girl and later married her. However, he never expected that the girl was not a good person. Not only did he cheat on her elder brother, he also abused her little nephew.
Chen Wei said with a look of heartache: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't expect her to be such a person. If I knew she was such a person, I would never bring her to my home or let her get to know my brother."
"When my eldest brother and my nephew got into trouble, I was more heartbroken than anyone else. I also know that it was all my fault and responsibility. It had nothing to do with my eldest brother liking someone. If it weren't for me, my eldest brother wouldn't have known that woman. It's only right for Ah Xi to blame me. I don't have the face to see my uncle and aunt!"
Shuying could actually detect the taste of tea in the voice of her eldest cousin.
Chen Wei did not stay in the office for long. Before leaving, she opened the cloth of the basket she had brought and handed it to her. In the basket there was a can of maltose, a bag of brown sugar, and a piece of new Dacron cloth. It was not a small amount of stuff. Whether it was the maltose, the brown sugar, or the cloth, they were all very rare and good things.
Chen Wei-chan also felt pain when she saw her brother, and expressed her hope that she could help them mend their relationship!
