"So what do you want?"
"It's simple. I just want a job in town or a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
Sheng Yanchuan looked at Li Yufeng like this and didn't want to communicate with this idiot at all. Who did she think she was? How could she have the courage to prove Nanqiao's innocence with just one sentence and make the whole village stop talking about it?
He would be a fool if he believed him!
He pushed Li Yufeng away, looking at her fiercely, "I am not a kind person. You'd better avoid me next time you see me. If I know that you have exaggerated and spread rumors about Nanqiao, I will make sure you can't leave this village for the rest of your life."
Sheng Yanchuan said this and turned away, ignoring Li Yufeng who wanted to catch up with him to argue but was hesitant to step forward.
On the way home, Sheng Yanchuan also noticed the villagers whispering when they saw him, and rode back home with a gloomy face.
I happened to meet a family coming back from work.
When Aunt Xiumei saw Sheng Yanchuan coming back, she quickly chased after him and asked tentatively, "Chuanzi, did you hear any gossip when you returned to the village?"
Sheng Yanchuan cleaned up the hot water by himself and did not reply to Aunt Xiumei's words, but after all, he was the son she had raised since he was a child, so how could she not understand?
She sighed and consoled him, "Chuanzi, Mom believes Nanqiao girl won't be like this. Look at our conditions, didn't Nanqiao girl accept it? That shows she is not one of those people who are blinded by money. Besides, receiving foreign businessmen is her job. With so many leaders here, how could anything go wrong? You must not get angry with Nanqiao girl because of these gossips."
"I know," Sheng Yanchuan said sullenly. He believed in Nanqiao, but when he saw the foreigner looking at Nanqiao in the morning and thought of Li Yufeng's ambiguous words, Sheng Yanchuan felt very depressed.
Hearing her mother-in-law defending her, Hui Ping was furious and said sinisterly, "If you ask me, Mom, you think too simply. They are foreign businessmen. If they go abroad with them, they can have everything they want. Why do I have to work so hard as an interpreter? When they come back, they will be praised by our leaders here."
After saying this, Hui Ping also scolded her husband and asked him to help her.
Sheng Yanjun didn't want to get involved in the gossip of his relatives, but seeing his wife glaring at him, he bit the bullet and said, "Your sister-in-law has a point, Chuanzi, I think you should think about it carefully. We can't compete with that foreigner. Nanqiao just has a pretty face and a better family background. We are just an ordinary girl and we can't marry such a girl. Don't end up losing both the girl and the money."
Sheng Yanjun said this while looking at Sheng Yanchuan cautiously. However, when he saw Sheng Yanchuan's gloomy face, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he became less confident.
"Sheng Yanjun! Are you going to keep following your wife around?" Aunt Xiumei was so angry after hearing what the two of them said that she threw the sweat towel in her hand at Sheng Yanjun and cursed with her hands on her hips.
Sheng Yanchuan took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Brother, I believe that I have never enjoyed anything alone since I was a child, and even what I have I have to share with you, so I don't think I owe you. I have the obligation to honor my parents, but I don't have the responsibility to support your family. You have been struggling for so long just to get a house and money, right? I tell you clearly today, I have already bought this house, and I have given the land deed and the house deed to Nanqiao. Nanqiao can only be my wife in this life. Don't blame me for being angry if you keep talking about these nonsense."
Sheng Yanchuan said and went back to the house to change clothes.
Only the gloomy-faced Sheng Yanjun and his wife and the irritated Aunt Xiumei were left in the yard.
"Look at you kid, I took it because I was afraid that your money would go down the drain." After a while, Sheng Yanjun came to his senses and saw his brother threatening him like this. He couldn't help but get even angrier, as if Nanqiao had bewitched Sheng Yanchuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Yanchuan walked out of the room and said, "That has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, Sheng Yanchuan got on his bike and was about to go out, but was stopped by Aunt Xiumei. "Where are you going so late?"
"I'm going to town. There's something going on at the factory. I won't be back tonight." Sheng Yanchuan explained casually, but he didn't say he was going to look for Nanqiao.
Aunt Xiumei followed him to the door and whispered, "Your brother didn't mean that. Don't worry about it. If you go to see Nan Yatou these days, don't get angry." Aunt Xiumei followed behind Sheng Yanchuan and warned him.
After hearing Aunt Xiumei say this, Sheng Yanchuan stopped the car and said very seriously, "Mom, I know, I believe in Nanqiao, I believe she will not leave me."
"That's good, that's good. Go quickly, and be careful on the road."
"Okay," Sheng Yanchuan responded and rode away.
Seeing Sheng Yanchuan walking away, Aunt Xiumei turned around and went back to the house. When she passed by Sheng Yanjun and his wife, she glared at them unhappily. No one spoke during the meal, and the atmosphere was at its lowest point.
When they went back to their room to turn off the lights and go to sleep at night, Aunt Xiumei said to Uncle Sheng in a melancholy voice, "Old man, do you think... we should split up the family? I always thought that as a family, we should live together in a lively manner and help each other, but now it seems that the eldest brother's family has become a little wild. If this continues, I'm afraid Chuanzi will also feel resentful."
Uncle Sheng didn't say anything for a long while. He sighed heavily, turned over and said, "Tell the eldest brother's family tomorrow that the old house will be given to them. You can see how much money is left in the family. The rest will be used as a betrothal gift for Chu Chuanzi to marry a wife. Divide the rest."
Aunt Xiumei sighed again after hearing what Uncle Sheng said. The room was quiet, and both of them lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
During this period of time, Aunt Xiumei couldn't understand what was going on with the eldest brother and his wife. You two young people don't have much ability, but your younger brother and his wife are both capable. If you live a good life as a family, how can they not help you if something happens in the future? But the couple refused to do so. They had to fight and scheme for a few small amounts of money, which made people feel cold. They should live their own lives in the future... They are really hopeless.
