After Chu Xinyan left the house, she walked towards the village without looking back.

Although she had suspected it a long time ago and was certain that they were lying to her, Chu Xinyan still couldn't stop feeling sad.

Yu Ping jogged after him.

"Are you OK?"

"Why are you here? I'm fine, you don't have to see me off." Chu Xinyan replied when she saw Yu Ping following her.

Yu Ping followed Chu Xinyan and walked out of the village together.

"No matter what they say, don't take it to heart. They all planned to cheat you out of your money. Your mom didn't fall at all, and her leg isn't injured. They're all lying to you."

Chu Xinyan didn't expect Yu Ping to say this to her.

In her opinion, Yu Ping was the wife of her eldest brother Chu Gensheng, and they must be in the same group, so how could they tell her the truth?

"Why are you telling me this?" Chu Xinyan asked.

Yu Ping smiled slightly, with a somewhat gloomy look on her face.

Yu Ping also understood in her heart that Chu Xinyan must have regarded her as an accomplice.

"I tell you this because I don't want you to be deceived by them."

"I've had a miserable life these past few years since I married your brother. I've been worse off than a nanny. Judging from their attitude towards you, I guess you must have had a hard time at home before. We can be said to be in the same boat."

"It's just that you are lucky to marry a good man, but I am unlucky. First my husband died, and then I married into a family like this."

People are more infuriating than people.

Although Chu Xinyan grew up in such a den of wolves, she finally found a good family.

But she escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den.

Yu Ping was actually very envious of Chu Xinyan.

Chu Xinyan didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Well, why am I telling you all this? Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Just don't fall for their tricks. And don't tell them that I told you."

"Be careful on the road, I'm going back."

Yu Ping felt that she had said everything she needed to say. If Chu Xinyan still insisted on being deceived, it was none of her business.

After saying this, Yu Ping stopped and turned back.

Chu Xinyan was silent for a moment, then shouted towards Yu Ping's back, "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? Just go away and don't come back." Hearing the thank you, Yu Ping's mood suddenly improved.

After leaving her parents' home, Chu Xinyan took the bus to the market alone.

Chu Xinyan found Li Youcai at the restaurant construction site next door.

At this time, the restaurant has begun to take shape. The three-story brick-concrete structure and the red walls have been completed, and it is about to reach the final stage of topping out.

Li Youcai was discussing the interior decoration with Gao Dapeng when he saw Chu Xinyan standing not far away with a look of grievance on her face.

"Brother Gao, please carry out the internal decoration as we agreed, and start work as soon as possible after the roof is completed." Li Youcai said to Gao Dapeng.

"Okay, I've already contacted all the technicians. As soon as the building is topped out, the internal plumbing and electrical circuits will begin to be installed."

Looking at this three-story house with a construction area of ​​more than 1,600 square meters, Gao Dapeng is very excited every day. He wishes that this largest restaurant in the county and even the city could open immediately!

"You keep an eye on this place. I'm going back first."

Gao Dapeng also saw Chu Xinyan standing not far away and hurriedly said, "Is that your sister-in-law? She looks unhappy to me. Come over here quickly. I'm sure everything will be fine with me here."

Li Youcai smiled at Gao Dapeng, then trotted towards Chu Xinyan who was not far away.

"What's wrong? Who is so powerful that he can make my wife so unhappy? She looks like she can hang a soy sauce bottle on her mouth."

Li Youcai deliberately teased Chu Xinyan.

Seeing that Chu Xinyan was still unhappy, Li Youcai reached out and wanted to hold Chu Xinyan in his arms.

This bold move startled Chu Xinyan, and she shyly dodged Li Youcai's hand: "Don't do it, there are so many people watching, it's so embarrassing."

"I'm hugging my own wife, there's nothing shameful about that." Li Youcai didn't care at all.

Although Chu Xinyan was not hugged, after such a commotion, a smile appeared on Chu Xinyan's face.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Youcai asked.

"As soon as you left this morning, my dad came to our house and told me that my mom had fallen while working in the fields and injured her legs and waist, and asked me to go home and take care of her."

"It turned out to be a complete lie. The injuries on my mother's legs were fake. They got a piece of paper with a bunch of words copied from some newspaper and lied to me that it was a prescription. They asked me for money to buy the medicine."

"You're right, they didn't want to find a job for my brother, they just wanted money."

Chu Xinyan looked a little gloomy, she was heartbroken by what her parents had done.

Hearing this, Li Youcai couldn't help but snort in his heart. It was really amazing that they could come up with such a trick as pretending to be sick.

"Then how did you find out?" Li Youcai asked.

"My teacher happened to have taught me the first few words on the paper. I recognize them. They are from Xinhua News Agency and newspaper. How could they be written on the prescription? They must be fake!" Chu Xinyan said angrily.

"Did you expose them?"

Li Youcai was a little worried. The people in the old Chu family had no so-called morals at all. If Chu Xinyan directly exposed them, they would definitely be angry and embarrassed.

Chu Xinyan shook her head: "No, I said I didn't have any money and I had to go to the county town to ask you for it."

"Oh, by the way, when I left, my sister-in-law chased me out. She also told me that my mother was pretending to be sick and they had planned to lie to me." Chu Xinyan remembered what Yu Ping said to her and hurriedly told Li Youcai.

"Really."

It seems that Yu Ping is determined not to stay with the old Chu family, but this is better. Li Youcai smiled and did not tell Chu Xinyan that Yu Ping came to see him.

However, Li Youcai felt that it was too slow for Yu Ping to investigate the matter alone.

I have to think of other ways.

"I don't have anything to do in the afternoon. Let's go to the market to buy some vegetables and then go home to cook something delicious." Li Youcai suggested.

"Yeah." Chu Xinyan nodded in response.

Li Youcai took Chu Xinyan for a stroll around his own market. After buying some things, he took a bus back home.

Poor Qiao Honglan had to lie on the kang, waiting for Chu Xinyan to come back and give her money.

I waited all morning, all afternoon, and until dark, but Chu Xinyan didn't come back.

Chu Gensheng sat at the side, his face looking very grim: "It's already this late, she definitely won't be back, let's eat, I'm hungry."

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day long is eat. If you hadn't beaten her, would she not come back?" Chu Laoer blamed the incident on Chu Gensheng.

"What are you talking about, son? Chu Xinyan is such an ungrateful person. Even after I acted like this, she still doesn't care about me anymore. What else can I expect from her?" Qiao Honglan pulled off the towel from her head and threw it aside. Then she shouted to Chu Laoer, "No, go back tomorrow and call her back. I don't believe I can't get any money out of her!"
