Chapter 235: Careful
Xue Wufu also knew this, but he just couldn’t help it. Of course, he wasn’t happy that his fourth uncle had been cheated on, but he was happy that Xue Zhuzi had nothing to do with their family or Locust Village.
This way, if Xue Zhuzi dared to have any bad intentions in the future, they would no longer have to worry about anything.
In the past, he had always been worried about them being relatives.
It did not seem like a problem anymore though!
However, to be honest, he was also quite afraid that his father would get angry, so Xue Wufu began to try his best to hold it in. He didn’t want to appear too happy and add to his father’s troubles.
Li Hehua bent down and warned Jiang Yue and Xue Yan in a very soft voice, “In the future, if you see anyone sneaking around, don’t go alone. Must I remind you of your age? Come back and call an adult to go with you next time.”
In fact, she was worried that something would happen to them.
When Xue Dafu and the others heard this, they chimed in, “Yes, yes.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan opened their mouths to explain, but Xue Sihu was already laughing, “You’re all worrying for nothing. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue only followed because they knew that they would definitely not be discovered. It’s not like you don’t know how smart they are. Otherwise, with Dagui’s weak appearance and a fit of anger, he would suffer a great loss.”
“That’s true,” Li Hehua and the others laughed.
“But it’s always good to be careful.” Xue Sihu laughed.
“We’ll be careful,” both Jiang Yue and Xue Yan said.
…
On this side, Jiang Yue and the others were eating lunch. On the other side, in Chen Village, Chen Laoba’s family was already eating. The table was full of dishes, including chicken, fish, and meat. This was because today was the day Xue Zhuzi turned 16.
Xue Zhuzi was very happy, Zhang Meili was pleased, and Chen Laoba was very happy. The ones who were unhappy were Chen Laoba’s wife and his unmarried younger daughter.
The two of them felt that Chen Laoba was too good to Xue Zhuzi. He wasn’t even so good to them, so they naturally didn’t like Xue Zhuzi.
Moreover, Xue Zhuzi had been staying at their house for several days, so they naturally found him even more unpleasant.
Chen Laoliu’s house was opposite Chen Laoba’s house. The two houses had low courtyard walls made of fences. Chen Laoliu’s house was also having their meal. Chen Laoliu casually looked around and saw the situation of Chen Laoba’s house.
The farmers didn’t walk over. They saw Chen Laoliu ask loudly, “Laoba, it’s rare for Dagui to come here. Why didn’t you ask him to stay for dinner? I saw him carrying a bag of things. He should be here to look for Zhuzi.”
Zhang Meili and Chen Laoba were already suspicious of him, so they were shocked when they heard this.
Without waiting for Chen Laoba to ask, Zhang Meili asked loudly, “When did he come?”
“When I came back from the fields.” Chen Laoliu said. “I saw him walking back. I asked him why he didn’t eat lunch before leaving, and he called me an adulterous couple. Meili, did your man get so angry that he fell sick? He looked fine, but he was calling me an adulterous couple.”
An adulterous couple?
Zhang Meili and Chen Laoba were both shocked.
No, both of them were panicking.
Could it be that he had found out about them? Otherwise, why would he even mention the word adulterous couple?
Zhang Meili and Chen Laoba immediately made the connection because of that.
This was awful. They couldn’t sit still and couldn’t eat anymore. They were about to die, so who would care about this?
