Chapter 168: Chapter 168 People are deceived by kindness_1
“Little Zhuzi, you go home and take good care of your mother, okay? Tomorrow when your little aunty goes to collect pig grass, she’ll pick some more wild fruits for you,” Meng Yunhan said.
Zhang Yunxuan, a child, sweetly responded, “Okay, I like the red ones. They’re tasty.”
After sending Zhang Yunxuan away, Meng Yunhan managed to put Little Huzi to sleep and then tended to the kitchen chores.
“Father, Mother, there are rumours that Little Huzi is a jinx, a patricide even. As far as I remember, not many people at home knew that Ahao’s accident coincided with the day of Huzi’s birth.”
Yun’s father instantaneously grasped Meng Yunhan’s implication.
This was something only the family knew about. His two daughters wouldn’t have revealed it, especially since the news had spread around Qingzhao Village.
His two sons, however, were aware of this.
“Father, Mother, I just want to ask, what benefit would they gain from spreading unfounded rumours about Little Huzi? We’re all family here, why would they do this? I want to confront them. There’s no way I can let Little Huzi carry the label of a jinx, a patricide for the rest of his life.”
Yun’s mother fell silent. Among her grandsons, this one was the best-behaved. She didn’t want Little Huzi to shoulder such burdens either.
“Do what you feel is right,” Yun’s mother said with a long sigh.
With her son going through this ordeal, she couldn’t let her grandson bear such a label as well. Yunhan was hot-tempered but all this was for the sake of her child.
“Then, I’ll go and handle this. You carry on with your meal, I’ll come back and join you.”
With those firm words, Meng Yunhan headed straight to Zhang Cuihua’s house.
This was a matter in which both sisters-in-law were potentially involved.
Yun Hai found it strange to see Meng Yunhan show up at his doorstep.
All the children at home greeted Meng Yunhan upon her arrival.
“Sister-in-law, I came here today because I want to ask something.”
Zhang Cuihua seemed a bit elusive, unsure of why the third sister-in-law was visiting?
Yun Hai also found it odd.
However, he made the children go back to their rooms.
“Third sister-in-law… what’s the matter? Speak freely.” Yun Hai feared that something had happened to Yun Hao.
“Big Brother, would you be angry if your child was deemed a jinx, a patricide?”
Meng Yunhan looked at Yun Hai with all seriousness and said categorically, “Big Brother, as far as I remember, the day Yun Hao met with the accident was the day Little Huzi was born. Hardly anyone knew about this coincidence. But now, everyone in the village knows. Who do you think spread the word?”
Yun Hai felt a jolt in his heart. Only their siblings knew about this, no outsiders were privy to it. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
As things stood now, the entire village was aware of this, just as the third sister-in-law had mentioned.
Yun Hai narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Zhang Cuihua, “Tell me, did you do this?”
Zhang Cuihua’s eyes flickered a few times before she defended herself, “I didn’t.”
Yun Hai scoffed softly, “Did you or didn’t you?”
Seeing that Zhang Cuihua was still denying it, Meng Yunhan said, feeling rather cold-hearted, “Sister-in-law, you’re a mother too, and you’re Little Huzi’s aunt. Why would you say something ?”
“Zhang Cuihua, did you say it or not?”
Zhang Cuihua still stubbornly stuck to her prior statement, “I didn’t say anything. Third sister-in-law, why are you falsely accusing me?”
Meng Yunhan felt a chill in her heart, “Sister-in-law, if you don’t want to admit it, so be it. With Ahao in his current condition, even our own family wants to get in a few kicks. Indeed, a good person is often taken advantage of.”
Meng Yunhan didn’t linger there any longer but turned around and left.
