Chapter 501: Chapter 496: Going Back to Hometown Troublesome Matter 31 [Explosive Update 25]

——————

Women with a shopping urge can’t be messed with!

Even though Yan Jinsu is quite strong, her hands, each carrying nearly 30-50 catties, have turned purplish-red from the weight, despite being nurtured to be delicate and snow-white.

Seeing that it was Yan Jinsu who came, Zhou Daxiang lamented on her spending so much, saying she was being too polite and such.

Upon seeing her, Chen Xiufang, who was four months pregnant, slowly stood up, surprised by Yan Jinsu’s visit at such a time, and pulled her to sit down.

"Auntie, don’t be so formal, I just came to sit for a while," Yan Jinsu nods to her friend first, then reminds Zhou Daxiang with a helpless yet enthusiastic attitude.

The old lady, seeing Yan Jinsu whom she hadn’t seen for almost a year, placed her well-behaved grandson on the floor and began bustling about to prepare things for the guest, her old face almost wrinkling into a flower from smiling.

Speaking of which, Chen Jize, who was unexpectedly born when Yan Jinsu registered, is already over a year old. He had his first birthday celebration two months ago and, although Yan Jinsu couldn’t come, she did send a gift.

"Ni, why did you rush over like this? I thought you wouldn’t be free for a few more days!" Having dealt with Yan Jinsu for over a year, Chen Xiufang was accustomed to her composed nature.

"Sister Fang, you sit, I’ve come to ask for your help with something. Auntie, you really don’t need to fuss over me, I’ve been here before, there’s no need for politeness."

Yan Jinsu first looked at her friend’s protruding belly, finished speaking to Chen Xiufang, and then turned to persuade Zhou Daxiang, who was being polite and thorough.

This made her feel embarrassed to come by often.

"Alright, alright, then I’ll go downstairs; my grandson wants to play in the yard all day long. There are many children there for company~"

Primarily to give space for her daughter-in-law and Yan Jinsu to talk privately, Zhou Daxiang brought out candies, tea, sweets, and more from the kitchen, placing them all on the tea table. Seeing there was nothing left for her to do, she finally took her grandson, who was already babbling, and went downstairs.

"My goodness, the auntie is too enthusiastic," Yan Jinsu murmured, wiping her dry forehead as the person was truly gone, and laughed helplessly.

"She is grateful to you! You have no idea, ever since I really got pregnant, my mother-in-law has been constantly thanking you in her talks," said Chen Xiufang, accustomed to it and feeling her mother-in-law was actually quite good.

"Dizzy, this is clearly the result of you and your husband’s joint efforts; how can it be attributed to me? Be careful Brother Li might get jealous!"

Chen Xiufang blushed upon understanding Yan Jinsu’s teasing, slapped her arm, and replied with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance: "Look at you, Ni, even daring to tease your own sister!"

"Oh, Sister Fang, don’t be angry, this is the truth. If I had that thing, where would Brother Li come into the picture, right?"

Yan Jinsu said this while touching Chen Xiufang’s belly, "You’re showing so soon, how many months is it? And you didn’t even tell me."

"Ay, you were supposed to come back, I just wanted to give you a surprise! By the way, why did you rush over? What happened?"

"Huh, looking at your expression, it seems as if you’re scheming when I would come?" Yan Jinsu, who was quite perceptive, caught the fleeting spectator’s expression on Chen Xiufang’s face immediately.

"Heh, as if I don’t know you, you treat your husband’s family like younger siblings, whenever there’s trouble at their home, you get anxious."

"So, there really is someone behind the scenes targeting my Xie family?" Yan Jinsu’s originally wide-open almond eyes narrowed upon hearing this, immediately picking up on the implication in her words.

With her half-closed almond eyes and the fleeting glint of scheming, Chen Xiufang had been watching her closely and instantly noticed the displeasure in Yan Jinsu’s heart.

"Hey hey, don’t get angry yet, listen to what I have to say before you make a judgement." Although Chen Xiufang felt a bit of schadenfreude, offending Yan Jinsu was not something she was willing to do.

"Mhm, go ahead." Yan Jinsu glared at Chen Xiufang, but seeing her calm demeanor, she knew that this matter must not be too serious.

"I see you’re anxious; it’s definitely not about Xie Laosan’s household, so it must be about your elder sister? Speaking of that, her family’s issue is indeed somewhat related to me. You should also have heard the rumors circulating outside."

Xie Laosan has issues too? Yan Jinsu thought back to Xie Jinggang and his wife’s demeanor and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, so she decided to put that aside and look back at Chen Xiufang.

Chen Xiufang took a sip of water before continuing:

"The rumors outside are mostly true, but there are two points you might not be clear about. First, your elder sister’s brother-in-law has long been fickle-hearted, and he has been closely involved with that young widow for several months already; that’s how he ended up getting caught in the act of adultery.

The second point is about the pregnant woman who miscarried—she was intentionally tripped by her husband, who lost his job due to Bao Guogang and the Yue Family’s influence, and often spent his days at home drinking and throwing tantrums. Once, when he drank too much, he let it slip out.

Apparently, he already knew that the baby was a girl, and that’s why he did such a despicable thing. Oh, right, that man already had two daughters, so when he heard that his wife was pregnant with another girl, he really didn’t want her. Besides, someone was willing to pay for an ’accident’..."

"Bao Guogang actually agreed to that? That’s his daughter!" Yan Jinsu exclaimed with a dark expression.

"Yes, Bao Guogang is indeed heartless! Oh, good girl, you even remember the name! Look at me, I just can’t remember his name, always thinking about buns, buns—but, the mentality of Bao Guogang is common among many men.

A lot of men feel that daughters are a financial loss. It’s a very helpless situation that he already has two daughters. As for the third one, he probably wishes she never existed!"

"Who paid for the ’accident’?" Yan Jinsu homed in on the key point.

"There, that fake Phoenix Luo!" Chen Xiufang glanced at Yan Jinsu and continued with her findings:

"Three months ago, after you sent that telegram to me, I had people keep an eye on the Zhang Family’s situation. That woman, I must say, really has some tricks up her sleeve.

Plus, having lived in Beijing for eighteen years, she had some connections there, and somehow she caught the eye of the young master from the Zhou family in the county town. Now, the two of them are in an official courtship."

"The Zhou surname?" Could it have something to do with Zhou Zhenghui again?

"That’s right, I’ve heard that this Zhou family, with the backing of connections in Beijing, has been very smooth in their official career."

That does have something to do with Zhou Zhenghui. Yan Jinsu couldn’t help but think that Yan Jinxian really was inescapable.

"Tch, it’s truly disgusting. She used money to bribe? How much?"

"Yeah, that Bao Guogang is rotten to the core, sold her own flesh and blood for 300 coins and kicked her dead in the womb. Although he slipped up later, his wife, having given birth to three daughters in a row, didn’t dare to cause a fuss."

"...What kind of trap had Yan Jinxian originally set?" Yan Jinsu knew that woman well enough to know it wasn’t just about making her elder sister miserable.

"As for it, I’m not sure if it’s good or bad luck for Fan Feng Shou. Initially, Bao Guogang was present at the adultery scene, thinking he could get money from selling his daughter and also scheme against Fan Fengshou to get some additional benefits.

Who knew Fan Fengshou, after drinking too much, had a drunken brawl with him, ended up getting one side of his scrotum severely beaten. Although he still has his male instincts, the chances of successfully impregnating his wife are now quite tricky."
