After talking about Granny Zhang, Xinyan finally asked, "Grandma Tong, what’s going on?"
Old Mrs. Tong sighed after hearing the question, "Well, isn’t it that Manjuan’s second daughter got burned, and a lot of money was spent at the hospital.
Previously, some of the money in Manjuan’s hands was borrowed by her Big Brother, and now she needs money, so she came to get back what she had lent out, but her sister-in-law, Gong Yuzhu, turns the tables on her, accusing Manjuan of making things up.
We’re not too clear about what exactly happened, so we all want to find out who’s lying."
Xinyan understood, this play has just begun.
At this moment, Xinyan heard Chen Manjuan speaking with a sob, "Big Brother, does Sister-in-law not know you borrowed money?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen Family, upon hearing her sister-in-law Chen Manjuan’s words, got a little angry and said, "Manjuan, when did your Big Brother borrow money from you? Don’t make false accusations."
Chen Manjuan ignored her sister-in-law and just kept staring at her Big Brother, "Big Brother, say something."
The eldest of the Chen Family, Chen Mandong, looked very upset. He hadn’t expected his sister to suddenly come asking for money, nor had he expected his wife to catch them. But if he admitted to it now, he couldn’t explain where the money went. If he didn’t admit it, his sister probably wouldn’t recognize him anymore, and it would likely result in his wife having a fight with his sister. He was stuck either way.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen Family, seeing her man not speaking, said, "Chen Mandong, are you mute? At a time like this, what are you still considering?"
Chen Mandong took a deep breath and decided, "Manjuan, we know that treating Xue needs money, but you can’t throw dirt on your brother."
Chen Manjuan looked incredulous, "Big Brother, what did you say?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen Family stepped forward, "Chen Manjuan, he is still your Big Brother. You are accusing him of borrowing your money without any evidence. Your Big Brother still wanted to save your face, yet you pretend not to know why, that’s really shameless."
Chen Manjuan, anxious and her eyes full of tears, said, "Big Brother, do you really want to do this to me?"
Chen Mandong dropped his gaze, "Little Sister, I can’t admit to something I haven’t done. If the money for treating Xiao Xue isn’t enough, as her uncle, I surely won’t just stand by. I’ll see how much I can gather for you."
Chen Manjuan wiped the tears from her face, "Big Brother, you remember, heaven is watching."
At that moment, Chen Manjun’s son spoke up, "Uncle, you’re lying. You clearly borrowed money from Aunt, I saw it."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately started discussing, "What, oh my god, this Chen Mandong really isn’t a decent person."
"Is what Manjun’s son said true or not?"
"We all know what kind of person Manjuan is, and children can’t lie. It seems it’s Chen Mandong who’s lying."
"Do you think this was done by Chen Mandong alone or were both the husband and wife involved?"
Xinyan looked at the eldest son of the Chen Family; this man was really shameless. She had seen him borrowing money from Chen Manjuan too, and he even tricked his own sister.
Just as she was about to step up, someone spoke before she could, "Big Brother Chen, did you borrow money from your sister?"
After seeing who was speaking, Chen Mandong felt flustered, but he certainly couldn’t admit it now, so he gritted his teeth and replied, "No."
